PRICE OF SMOKES

to be at least % per cent. BY the last
Mongolia Fitzpatrick brothers received
letter from the Manila manufacturers,
announcing an advance of 25 per cent.
in the price of tobacco. This advance
did not affect cigars at the time.
Under the terms of the new law,
150,000,000 cigars may be imported,
duty free, from the Philippines. This
means that 12,500,0 900 may be sent out
every week. AS the demand for Ma
Mia cigars at the reduced prices made
possible by the removal of the tariff
has given an immense impetus to the
sale of these goods, there seems to be
every reason to believe that the full
number allowed duty free viii be snap
ped up. This win mean that the Ma
Mia manufacturers will have to do
some fast work, for 12,500,00 cigars a
week is a pretty stiff output.
On the last trip of the Mongolia to
the mainland, the ship carried 5,000,000
Manila cigars; an Associated Press
cablegram received here yesterday
morning announced the shipment of
100000 by the Siberia.
During the days of the monarchy,
Manila cigars enjoyed an immense sale
in this Territory, but with annexation
came tariff which made the duty on
the Philippine weeds considerable more
than the actually retail price of the
goods in Manila. About So per box
was the duty until the new tariff law
went into effect.
That the cost Of Manila cigars viii

during the days that the tariff was in
force. is not believed by local dealers.
On the other hand. there seems to be
but little reason to expect that there
viii be any reduction in the present
quotation, and further advances would
not cause any great surprise. It is
pointed out by those in touch with the
market that the demand for the goods
is bound to increase and that, with
the output limited by law, there is
going to be considerable competition
among jobbers DESTROYS Of handling the
goods.

day morning and the prosecution an
nouneed that it did not desire to put
on any rebuttal. The jury was excused
until Monday and the rest of the morn

The defense put on no witnesses ex-

that there was any riot at Waipahu
and that they were guilty in any de-

are charged.
The second riot trial has progressed
much more expeditiously than the
first. largely on account Of the absence

HOW PAXTON WRIGHT DIED.

Call.-Paxton Wright, the we'll
known San Francisco businessman
whose death on the steamship Alameda
while coming to this city from Ho-
days ago, did not die of natural causes,
as the aerogram stated, but committed
suicide, cutting his throat with a razor.
He almost severed his head from the
body, and, when found a few minutes
after the deed had been done, was al
ready dead.
Wright, who was a director of the
Alameda chamber of commerce and a
former president of the Encinal yacht
club, went to the Hawaiian Islands on
a business trip in connection with the
The Alameda left Honolulu on the Sth

the 10th.

the suicide deliberately.
A. Keller, bathroom steward, ar
ranged Wright S bath about 6 o. CLOCK
the morning of the 10th. Wright bor-
rowed the razor of his roommate, A.
Carley, presumably to shave himself,
and went into the room. His dead body
was found there by Keller shortly aft
erward.
The deceased was buried at sea at
1890 O clock the morning of his death.
DR.. G. w. Clark read the burial serv-
ice, and, while the steamer stopped it's
engines, the flag draped body was al
lowed to drop into the sea. Melan-
eholia following an illness is thought
to have prompted Wright's deed.
