JAPAN HAS A SCANDAL
Young Count Married Secretly to
Hungarian Woman.

hungarian woman.
| London, Jan. 27.-The Toxic CORE
spondent of the Standard relates 6
scandal, indirectly involving the impe
rial house of Japan, which is causing 8
great stir in the Japanese capital.
Count Todo, 81 years old, was sent
to England two years ago to complete
his education, and while there married
a woman of Hungarian birth, Mrs.
Elena Addison, 20 years old, widow OF
an Englishman. The counts family,
upon learning this, peremptorily order
ed him to return to Japan. He did so,
leaving his wife in England.
When he arrived home he found his
family, which shares the traditional
aristocratic repugnance to mixed mar
rlages, had in his absence started ne
gotiations for his marriage to Princess
Take, member of collateral branch of
the imperial family. The counts d.
vorce from his English wife was i'm
mediately resolved upon.
This was comparatively easy in ia
pan. The count secured a divorce
without consulting his wife. AS soon
as free he formally applied for the
Princess Takes hand and the emperor
sanctioned the alliance. Congratula-

plunged into the water and swan to
the spot where he saw the boy go
down and dived to the bottom, where
he found the youth. He brought the
body to the top Of the water and
swan TO the bank.
A call was made for a physician but
in the meantime COncannOn began the
work OF resuscitatiOn. In a short time
the boy began to show signs of life.
He was rolled about on the sand and
had regained consciousness when the
physician arrived. He was taken to
his home at Market street and Miller
avenue.
The boy had gone swimming in the
pit with Wesley Clark, ID years old. a
cousin, and Rafael Lockwood, IA. He
was able to swim but little and his
strength failed him when he was in
the middle of the pit.
Concannon told of the drowning In
a simple manner. 81 heard the boys

SPORTS PLEASED
THAT RACE IS ON

The announcement that Kaoo and
Tsukamoto will run ten miles on New
Years day caused good deal of fav-
orable comment around town yesterday.
Naturally enough the Hawaiian and
haole sports look for the old veteran to
win this time, but the japanese feel
confident that their champion will be
able to beat out the Hawaiian.
The local japanese press has com
mented on the race All the papers
approve of the event although some of
them have stated that another marathon
race would be more pleasing to the local
sons of Nippon.
But, as Kaoo would not run mara
thon and wanted to have the question OF
ten-mile superiority settled first, Tsu-
kamoto could not do less than give in to
him.
Tsukamoto was looking round for a
good trainer and rubber yesterday. AL
though in excellent condition, be will
train hard up till the day before the
race and he wishes to take no chance:

THE AERO MEET.

Boston Transerips.-It is announced
that the flying fever, which during the
present year has reached its most acute
stage in Europe, will the coming sea
son cross the water to this country, and
that no attempt to quarantine it will
be made. The aero Club proposes to
have a month IS flying meet in some
city, with those of a week IS duration
in other cities, and for the big event
the bidding has been brisk, with the
odds in favor of the West. Philadel-
phia offers 100000 for the honor, and
Baltimore and Washington are each
willing to put up an equal amount.
Oakland, California, and Portland, Ore
gon, raise that sum by $4,000, and St
Louis pledges herself to guarantee
fund of quarter of million. New
York and Boston do not seem to be
anxious to get the main event, but
perhaps they will. ST. Louis has al
ready taken prominent place in avia
ton, and its comparatively central loca
| tion eommends it.

All is not as peaceful as it might be
around the city hall. Jim Quinn is just
plain mad, without any frills; Joe Fern
shows a very evident desire to stand
from under, and County Clerk Kalau-
sokalani is apologize and harassed. And
the whole trouble is the outcome of
Ferns successful effort at suppressing
the criminal charges against his friend
j. X. Paele, road overseer of Koolau'
poke.
The high-handed manner in which the
charges against Paele, which are said
to include charge of forgery, were
ssauelched has caused no little adverse
comment. Supervisor Quinn before
whom, as chairman of the road commit
tee of the board, the charges against
Paele should have come, is mad clear
through Despite the statement, credit
ed to the Mayor by an afternoon paper,
that the road committee was conversant
with the charges against Paele, Quinn
was absolutely ignorant of the exist
,ence of the affidavits, which were sur
pressed by order of the Mayor, until
he read the account of the high-handed
dealings in The Advertiser yesterday
morning.
Quinn was forced to leave the meet
ing Tuesday night before the argument
over the affidavits came up, and he
knew nothing about them, Had he been
aware of their existence, he would have
