WASHINGTON, December II. =
Three hundred and fifty bills have been
introduced into congress thus far this
session. The senate adjourned yester-
day until Monday and the house will
not reconvene until Tuesday.
Revolving disclosures of an interna-
tional white slave traffic are embodied
in the special report submitted to con.
gress by the immigration committee,

The reports shows that the traffic is
not confined to women but that men
and boys are beginning to be imported
for immoral purposes.
New York, San Francisco and Seat
tie are said to BE- the principal ports
of entry. The commission recommends
that all foreign women engaged in i'm
moral practises be sentenced to depor-
tation and imprisoned if they return.

The department of communications

the specified signals and the Japanese
stations likewise.
Manager Balch of the local wireless
system received a letter by the Tenyo
Maru from E. Tokayama, the electrician
of the wireless section of the electro.
technical laboratory of the department
of communications, dated November 80,
in which he suggests taking up the
tests again. He states that the trial
communication arranged for by their
Mr.. Torigata for November 10 came to
an end without success, much to his re-.
gret. He says that the Japanese sta.
tions called Kahuku and other stations
every other ten minutes, commencing
at ten O'Clock in the morning and end.
ing at midnight.
The Japanese stations watched care
fully and continuously for the Kahuku
signals. He adds: s'We heard indis-
tinct, unreadable sounds in the receiver
at the specified intervals on the speci-
fed days." He adds also that heavy
states, however, prevailed during the
time of the tests.
GAS the present experiment ended in
failure he continues, "we wish to
execute the trial communication on and
from December Is next. We are en-
deavoring to improve our arrangement
and expect to succeed in the test this
time'

FLABBERGAST
COMMISSIONERS
George w. Smith Puts 1t Up to
Liquor Board and They
Pass the Buck.

At the meeting of the board of Ii.
cense commissioners yesterday, George
w. Smith of Benson, Smith g. Co. hit
a large wasp's nest with a large stick,
and the "infuriated animals,' as the
nature faker says, will soon be buzzing
around his ears and those of others.
Some time ago Inspector Fennell ar.
rested John Wung, storekeeper for
Tuck & Lok, on Fort street, for sell
ing bottle of male extract which, as
it contained four-odd per cent. of alco-
hol, he considered to be in the category
of spirituous liquors.
As the extract was a preparation of
Benson, Smith & Co., and had been
sold without license by them, Fen
nell and the board did not consider 1t
fair that he should suffer, and told him
that if he would plead guilty they
would suspend sentence for thirteen
months. This was done.
And so to see whether or not they
were within the law in selling such
things, Mr.. Smith yesterday came be.
fore the board and he brought many
things. And, moreover, the things that
he brought are liable to raise an awful
fuss. They were all nicely packed in a
basket and carried by japanese boy.
Mr.. Smith put them on the table.
What have you got, samplesa' ask
ed Chairman Cooke.
"Uh, huh,' said Mr.. Smith.
Then he took out bottle of Lydia
Pinkham s Vegetable Compound. "This
contains Is per cent. of alcohol' he
said. A bottle of Lydia Pinkham IS

Seventeen per cent? said Mr..
Smith. A Cuticura preparation. "Twen-
ty per cent,' said Mr.. Smith.
He took out number more, until
the board began to feel like druggists
clerks.
"You see,' explained Mr.. Smith,
fdoctors never write prescriptions for
these, because doctors never prescribe
patent medicines. So they don Y come
under the act permitting liquor to be
sold under a doctors prescription. We
have an alcohol license. Do we sell
them under thatW
Mr.. Brown delved into the laws.
"They come clearly under the defni-
tion of spirituous liquors." he an.
nounced.

cover them" said Mr.. Cooke, smelling
bottle Of blood purifier.
The commissioners didn't dare
tackle the question. "Let's reserve IL
to the attorney'general. He's our legal
adviser said Mr.. Cooke. "Mean.

Whereas, The provisions of such laws,

CUPID
HELPS ESTATE
Takes Over Debts Against His
Deceased Brother and Ar
ranges Settlement.
tFrom saturday = Adyertiser.l


In the fling yesterday by John f
Colburn of his accounts as executor OF
the estate Of the late Prince David Ka.
wananakoa, one of the most difficult
estates ever presented to local courts to
handle in probate is settled. Much liti.
cation has been called off as a result
of final settlements of the outstanding
accounts and it is probable that some
suits at present in the courts as an
indirect result of former litigation will
be called off. 1t seems that Prince
Cupid has made it possible for a settle
ment suitable to all parties.
In Schedule d, filed with the itemized
schedules yesterday by Colburn, he
places the balance of the estate at
present in his hands as being worth
$105l3. The total receipts according
to his charges against himself, amount
to $49,334.23 and the allowances he
asks amount to $49, 9,229.10.
The claims of about ten or twelve of
the creditors have been assigned to
Prince Cupid, being in themselves small
and amounting in their total to
$300s.95. According to the figures
which Colburn claims represents the
balance of his estate left in his hands,
this act on the part of Cupid appears
to be one to clear up matters and it
does not seem likely that he ever in
tends to collect these claims as assign
ed to him.
He has also paid off the Judgment
debt held against the estate by Frank
Kruger and the debt, in consequence,
has been assigned to him. This amounts
to $642.11. The amount is what Kruger
claims for jewelry supplied and became
a preferred claim on the estate, the
jeweer, in former suit, being award
ed that amount. Colburn refused to
pay the amount of the Judgment, claim
ing that he would not do so until other
claims were settled in their proper
order.
Kruger brought another suit to col
lect the judgment, George Davis repre-
senting him, and this has just gone
through the legal mill again The debt
has been assigned to Cupid, on condi-
ton that Kruger pays all costs arising
from the suit and that no costs inciden.
tai to another suit which is being
brought by Princess Kawananakoa
against Charlie Rose be laid to him.
This last suit was brought by the Prin.
cess against the deputy sheriff to re-
cover damages claimed, upon his seizure
of property claimed by her and which
Kruger got out writ of attachment
for.
Princess Kawanapakoa gives re-
ceipt for $11 $3.50, which sum was
paid principally in jewelry and shares
in the Kapiolani Estate. The Kapio.
lani estate itself gives receipt for
$26,327.74. A host of small creditors
and lawyers have been paid off.

being arrested and putting up bail and
then forfeiting it, rather than coming
up to meet the authorities to try to
get it back again. [Laughterl. He
asked if that was condition of things
the people down here wanted. He also
stated that he had learned from an
English authority that England imposes
no such restrictions upon travel as
America does.
Going Down.
+. B. McStocker asked whether the
merchant marine had increased or de.
creased under this coastwise law. The
answer was that it had decreased.
Now Marooned.
Dr. Doremus Scudder asked whether
if we had two senators in congress to
look after interests would the people
who live here stand for this old law
We were small group and we had
to stand it, being powerless. He said:
1--WE feel we are marooned on these
Islands. On the mainland there is no
hardship about travelling. We ought to
get down to fundamental principles,
that 1t is part of our liberties as set
forth in the Declaration of Independ-
ence, to travel on any vessel that comes
along" [Applause].

On call for the question a rising
vote was taken and every men in the

contrary vote was called for, no one
stood, and the vote was declared unan-
imous.

Unanimous Vote.

A unanimous vote for the suspension
of the coastwwise shipping law with
references to its application to pas
renger traffic between the Coast AMI
Honolulu, was recorded yesterday aft
ernoon at an enthusiastic meeting at
the Young Hotel where large and
representative body of men advocated
in strongest terms the relegation of the
law to the forgotten archives of the
government as being ANTICIPATED and
imposing hardship upon residents of the
Hawaiian Islands.
The vote ON a resolution offered by
Baldwin, and interested in an Amer
lean steamship line, followed num-
ber of sound speeches, full of reason
able arguments in opposition to a law
which at present deprives not only
residents of the Islands but citizen
tourists of the mainland from visiting
the Islands except in vessels flying the
American flag.
Those attending the meeting, which
was presided over by w. R. Castle,
one of the leading members of the civic
federation, as chairman, and by Fred
j. Waldron, chairman of the merchants
association as secretary, represented al
most every business and profession in
Honolulu, Various steamship compa.
nies, lumber and banking corporations,
plantation agencies, the professions OF
law, church and medicine, were all
ably represented, and the speakers were
from all of them.
Record Meeting.
The meeting was one of the largest
and perhaps the most unanimous on a
gwen subject that has been held here
for some time, one hundred and twen-
ty'three persons being present. There
was freedom of expression of opinions
throughout and every opportunity was
offered, not only to supporters of the
measure for suspension of the shipping
law, but for its opponents, but accord,
ing to the standing vote taken, there
was but one opponent in the hall.
Meeting Of Citizens.
After taking the chair w. r. Castle
stated that the executive committee Of
the civic federation had unanimously
called public meeting to discuss the
eoasiwise shipping law matter. The
present meeting, he explained, was not
o civic federation meeting, but one of
citizens generally, a meeting which be.

section of land south OF town from
which he has taken Oft a good crop
for the past two or three years, LETT
yesterday for his home after spendin&
a number of weeks here. This year
he had in $40 acres OF CROP 200 acres
Of fax, 220 of wheat and 100 or oats'
His wheat averaged 23 busnels TO tne
acre; his fax 20 bushels and his oats
65. With the present prices this
means quite a wad Of money, more
than the land originally cost Mr.. The
len. and this is the second or third
time this land has paid for ITSELF
John Haigh Is reported to have
threshed flax for D. r. Offley near
Williams which yielded % bushels to
the acre. This year anything around
20 bushels to the acre Of flax seems
to be nothing out Of the ordinary.
Tim Walen left last, evening for
the Seattle exposition on his way to
Illinois, after having taken on a 49,.

land near town Mr.. Walen bought
his land here four years ago and
paid $14 Der acre for it, and this year
had it put In fax, with the result that
he left Beach this fall with $4,000
to the good. He says he is coming
back to put in another crop next
spring-and why shouldn't he? -
Lewis Ferney was in from Alpha
this week and, like a good many 9th
ers, had a good crop story to tell.
He had fifty. acres Of wheat that
yielded him 1874 bushels, and his
oats went about 60 bushels to the
