ONCE MORE To
SUPREME COURT

Chief Justice Hartwell yesterday al
lowed the appeal of the defendant in
the suit of w. W. Bierce Company
against. Clinton ]. Hutchins from the
Supreme Court of the Territory to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
This is suit decided by the Supreme
Court of the Territory adversely TO
Hutchins some months ago. The bond
on appeal is fixed at $1,000. The find
ings of fact on appeal cover more than
twenty pages of typewriter paper,
and give a complete, though to the
uninitiated a not very clear, account
of the litigation and the events out
of which the litigation grew.
The exceptions traverse a great
many of the findings Of fact. and lay
stress on a claim that was raised lately
in the trial of another branch of this
same litigation, namely, that at the
time the obligation was created out II
which the litigation grew, the Supreme
Court of the Territory was the court
of final resort in this case, no federal
question being involved, and that
therefore the change of the law by
which the case was taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. and
the Supreme Court of Hawaii reversed.
was an impairment of contract and
attempted to create obligations not in
mind when the cause of action arose.

Early next year the American-Ha-
waiian S. S. Co. intends replacing the
steamships Alaskan and Arizonan on
the Honolulu, San Francisco and Seat
tie run, with the steamship Virginian
and Missourian which will before then
have been converted to an extent to
give them accommodations for seven
ty-five cabin passengers each, and it
is likely that the passenger rate, by
these boats, will be lowered to $50 one
way and 500 for the round trip be-
tween Honolulu and San Francisco, or
between Honolulu and Seattle;
The Observation-Disclosures Steamship
Company has in the last year been
making many changes and all for the
better. A new schedule is just going
into effect whereby the Nevadan and
the Nebraskan run on the coast be-
tween Salina Cruz, San Diego, San
Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma, and the
Alaskan and Arizonan take the Ho-
nolulu-San Francisco-Seattle route,
while the Virginian, Columbian, Texan
and Mexican handle the run between
these islands, the Tehuantepec lines

The Missourian is at present in the

DETAILS OF JAP
STABBING AFFAIR

The details leading up to the stab
bling by Matsube Matsuoka of Full
kawa. the notorious Japanese gambler
at waipahu, on Tuesday. reached the
police in this city yesterday evening.
It appears that some three or four
months ago Matsube loaned Fujikawa
twenty dollars. and since that time
had asked for the return of the money
half a dozen times or so. Each time
that Matsube asked for the money Fu-
jikawa either threatened to beat or did
give him a beating.
On Tuesday. before going to Full
kawa to make another demand for the
money, Matsube prepared himself for
the fray by sharpening a cook-knife
and putting it in his pocket When he
reached Camp No. 2 on Waipahu PLAN
tation. he went to Fujikawa and made
his demand. Fujikawa became very
angry and proceeded to beat Matsube
over the head with a pair Of Japanese
wooden shoes. When the shoes were
splintered he finished by kicking MAJ
sube into a ditch.
Matsube, on getting to his feet. Crap
pied and. drawing the knife. stabbed
Fujikawa in the left side of the abb
domen, inficting a wound that will
probably result in death.
Matsube Matsuoka is a respectable
Japanese of a quiet ard peaceful ma
ture; he is married and has two dill
dren- On the other hand, Fujikawa is
a known bad man, blackmailer and
allround crook

THE ATCHERLEYs
SUED ON A NOTE

Suit against DR.. John Atcherley and
his wife, Mary H. Atcherley, was
begun yesterday in the Circuit Court.
The plaintiff is A. y. Campbell, trus-
tee. The suit is for the balance due
on a promissory note, and the amount
claimed is s1O76.75.
The note was dated June IS, 1901. and
was for $1,000, due in two years, and
secured by mortgage. The mortgage
was foreclosed some time ago, realiz-
ing 1886 25.
From the fact of suit being brought
at this time for the balance, after the
mortgage had been foreclosed, it is 20
be presumed that the plaintiff thinks
a prosperity wave may have struck the
Atcherley menage since the Doctor
took up the Wallach treatment, and
that a Judgment might now be good.

MARINE

Honolulu stores looked as if they
had been looted, according to San
Francisco papers, when the Brazilian
training ship Benjamin Constant and
the Chilean training ship General Ba-
uuedano left here for the Orient.
Saws the San Francisco Call of May
20: According to the officers OF the
liner Alameda, which arrived yester-
day from Honolulu, the island port has
just gone through a naval invasion
similar to but on a smaller scale than
the fleet visit to this port. The Brazil
ian naval training ship Benjamin Con-
slant and the Chilean naval training
ship General Baque1ano, both on their
way around the world. spent several
eeks at Honolulu and We're to nave
sailed the day after the Alameda took
its departure. For the purpose of i'm
pressing the world with BraziPs inn
portance the pay of the men on the
BENJAMIN Constant is said to have
been advanced during this cruise to
$50 a month, and when the Alameda
sailed the Honolulu stores looked as
if they had been looted. The Brazilian
sailors were given generous liberty
and they spent their wealth like water.
1t is estimated that the men from the
Brazilian ship spent more than 100000
in Honolulu. Nearly every man
bought, among other things, camera
and many of them acquired possession
of monographs, so many, in fact, that
when the Alameda sailed there was
not a talking machine left in stock in
any of the Honolulu stores"
