Garden in 1890, but Robert came back and
put Gus out in the sixth round with a
terrible left-hand drive IN the pit Of the
stomach.
Now we come down to Jeffries, the
king Of all modern heavy-weights. and
probably the greatest in the history Of
pugilism-a man who has never been
knocked of his feet in the ring. He has
defeated such great men as COrbett. Fitz-
simmons. Sharkey, Rubin. and others in
signal style
Although Jeff hasn't a very long ring
record, nothing near as long as those OF
Sullivan and Fitzsimmons. he has shown
all the qualities Of a wonderful pugilist
His ability 10 take severe punishment
without any apparent weakening Is well
known.
"Sharkey hammered him IN two fights.
one of twenty and the other Of twenty
dve rounds, without hurting the boiler
maker to any great extent. Fitz punched
his hands 10 pieces on him. and COrbett
jabbed and hooked him until his arms
ached. Therefore, I say that If Johnson
can put as much steam into his blows as
did Sharkey and Fitz. he will not be able
to make much Of an impression on Jef.
EAAt AoE Jtn AMSns
-Four years ago Jenries would have
made mincemeat OF all the heavy-weights
Of to-day. including Johnson. for at that
time he could not only receive punish
ment, but could also hand out the great
est wallops ever seen in ring, not ex-
cepting those Of Sullivan and Fftz. two
Of the greatest hitters that ever put up
their hands
Ask Rubin about the terrific stomach
punch that JEFF shot into him at Frisco.
IL not only pat Gus away, but also con-
vinced him that his hghting days were

The bOilermaker began fighting in 1897,
when he knocked out Van Buskirk IN two
rounds. Then he went along for seven
years. when he retired, after putting Jack
Munroe the Butte miner, away in a
couple Of rounds IN 1904

Place of the Dead.
SCORE OF CHINESE CAUGHT
The Players Claimed They Were
There to Do Honor to
the Departed.
SCORE OF CHINESE CAUGHT

Pauoa cemetery was the scene of "a
police raid yesterday about noon when
officers descended upon Chinese who are
alleged to have been gambling on the
side while their main reason for at
tendance was to do honor to the dead.
According to the police report at least
twenty of them, those that were caught,
were in the act of winning or losing
money at game of paikau, ond they
have cash, dice, buttons and dominoes
to prove their case.
This is the cemetery in which gam
bling is alleged to have been carried
on last Thursday by one Ayau, Nuu-
anu avenue merchant, who is also said
to have told those present that there
would be no pilikia about their gam
bling because he had "fxed it, all
right with the sheriff. County Prosecu-
tor Brown is to have warrants issued
for a number of Chinese who are said
to have played on that day, and it is
also likely that the matter will be
presented to the grand jury for further
probing. Gambling was certainly GO
ing on there. Ayau is shoe store man
who is reported to have had gambling
going on in a portion of his place on
Nuuanu just above King street for
some time past. The games have been
reported to the police several times but
no effort has been made by the detective
force to break them up.

off port and in latitude 1929 N, long
itude 144:25 w The captain of t5e
steamship reports that a fresh north

is coming along in a moderate sea and

On Saturday night about the same
hour. the Korea was 1887 miles off
port. and her run for the twenty-four
hours up TO last night was about 353
miles The Hilonian, a slower boat,
has probably dropped considerably
astern of the Pacific Mailer, although
on Saturday evening they were but
fifteen miles apart.
The fact that the Korea has been
in wireless touch with Honolulu al
most from the day she started indi-
Gates that she is in daily touch with
thu, California coast also. and that her
passenger are kept supplied with a
daily budget of world : news. That

JURY DID NOT

RENDERS COL0RLESS VERDICT
Says Women Died From Knife
Cut in the Throat, but
Accuses No One.

Reyo Hironaka, the japanese woman
murdered in the servant quarters on the
premises of Judge Lindsay, Manoa Val
icy, on October 20, came to her death,
according to the verdict of the coro-
ner' jury which held the inquest yes
terday, . from a cut in the throat with
a knife by one Kanagawa, a male Japa-
nese.'
The jury did not specify az to how
she met her death, whether by accident
or with murderous intent. The find
ings are simply that death ensued from
cut in the throat with a knife by
Kanagawa. She might have fallen on
knife held by Kanagawa, by acct
dent, while Kanagawa was having his
supper, or by any other accidental
means, but that Kanagawa actually
slashed the woman s throat from ear
to ear with malice aforethought or in
a jealous passion, is not set forth.
Kanagawa did not appear before the
jury, being yet in precarious state,
although the wound in his throat is
rapidly healing.

Terrible Conditions Revealed By
an Officer of the Rubber
Company.
MANY NATIVES SLAUGHTERED
Villages Burned to the Ground
by Agents of Belgian
King Leopold.
(By Associated Press.)

BRUSSELS, Belgium, October 25.-
An officer of the Congo Rubber Com.
pany, in a startling statement made
here, reveals new outrages in the Congo
district, which indicate horrifying
condition of affairs there. During the
past two years. he says, many natives
have been killed by the agents of tho
rubber company, of which King Leopold
is the actual head, and villages through
out the district have been burned to the
ground.
The world was shocked about TIVE
years ago when the barbarous methods
of the rubber company and its agents
were exposed So strong was the feel
ing against King Leopold, who was en-.
riching his pocket at the expense of the
blood and lives of the miserable natives
of the Congo district, that he was
forced to promise radical reforms. Gov
ernmental action and investigation were
instituted to rescue the blacks from
their wretched condition. 1t was dis
covered that the King, who was the
real head of the rubber company and
the actual owner of the district. had
made millions out of the Congo rubber
industry. The deeds of. his agents IN
the Congo, as was aseertained by in
vestigators sent there from other coun.
tries, were almost too horrible to be
told. Hundreds of the natives had been
killed outright; many had had their
hands cut off for trivial or fancied of
fenses. They were beaten, imprisoned,
| starved, and held in the most abiect
and wretched slavery Whole villages,
| it was claimed, had been wiped out by
socalled punitive expeditions.
The exposure of these conditions, il
was supposed, had put stop to the
barbarous practices, but 1t appears that
the rubber company and its agents only
| waited for the excitement to die down
before resuming thir former practices,
which appear to be as barbarous as
before
Action by the Powers was considered
on the former occasion. but nothing was
done. The renewed charges of outrages
on the Congo, however, may have the
effect of awakening Christendom more
thoroughly to the condition that exists,
and be the cause of concerted movement
to free the wretched natives from their
intolerable bondage.

JAPANESE MAN
ATTACKS WOMAN
CAUGHT BY JOCKEY FERREIRA
Armed With Knife and Revolver,
Man Attempts Murder, but
Is Stopped.

Armed with a revolver and knife,
a japanese named Funada attempted
to shorten up the life of a. japanese
woman last night in a dark corner of
the old Queen Emma premises, corner
of Beretania and Nuuanu avenues. The
affair took place about seven o clock
last evening and Funada was landed
in the police station along with his
arsenal.
Domingo Ferreira, the jockey, hap
pened along Beretania avenue about
the time mentioned and heard a
woman s scream, followed by an mar
ticulate cry. He ran along Beretania
until he came to the gateway, and
then ran inside. He saw two persons,
and one seemed to be down on the
ground, the other standing up. AS
Ferreira, according to the report he
made at the station, ran up, the person
standing took to his heels. Ferreira
went in pursuit and saw the pursued
