ALBANIANS ARE
FIGHTING HARD

CoNSTANTINOPLE, April 25.-The
desultory fighting that has been going
on for the past several months between
the regular Turkish troops stationed in
Albania and the Albanian insurgents
has now assumed serious proportions,
the insurgents having organized large
band of fighters, making it necessary
for reinforcements to be sent from Tur-
key to the assistance of the regulars.
1t is suspected here that the insur-
gents, who declare their aim to be the
ultimate freedom of Albania from
Turkish rule, are receiving aid from
either Austria or Italy, both of which
countries have many citizens in the
province.

NAVY OFFICERS
SUDDEN DEATH
Captain Morong Passes Away
at the Age of Seventy
Five.

Captain John G. Morong, U. s. N,
retired, died yesterday afternoon at the
home of his son, Liliha and Wyllie
streets. He was seventy-fvc years of
age. Death was due to heart failure.
This deceased offer entered the naval
service in 1868, and did much active
service during the last two years of the
Civil War. He served under both Foote
and Farragut, and was specially men
toned for bravery in the Red River
expedition.
Captain Morong visited Honolulu
twenty years ago as executive officer
of the Iroquois, and was known to many
of the older residents. He retired from
the navy in 1897, and about year ago
came here to live with his son, Doctor
Morong. His last active service was as
commandant of the Puget Sound naval
station.
The captain was born in Lubec
Maine, and was member of very
distinguished New England family,
descendants from some of the earliest
settlers in America.
The funeral will be held this after
noon, and will be private.

JUDGE CALLED
As A WITNESS
Kingsbury Is Asked to Give
Testimony Before
Himself.

Maui News says: Attorney NJ. F.
Prosser, of the Honolulu law firm with
multiplicity of names, came up Sat
urday and Monday appeared in court
as attorney for Kawano, Japanese
merchant of Homo.
The defendant is charged with hav-
ing committed perjury in the circuit
court some months ago, and is one of
the men who was ordered committed
by Judge Kingsbury to appear before
the grand jury, which body returned a
true bill of indictment against him.
The trial has occupied most of the
week and is one of the most hotly con-
tested cases fought out in this circuit
The first move was to have Judge
Kingsbury disqualified on the ground
of prejudice, and to this end an aft
davit was made by Attorney A. G
Correa and filed in court. The next
move was to subpoena Judge Kings
bury as a witness.
The defense seems to be based on the
theory that the Japanese interpreter
N. K. Otsuka, did not correctly inter
pref the testimony of the defendant
at the time he is alleged to have com
mitted perjury. Judge A. N. Kepoika
was one of the witnesses called for thu
defendant. His testimony related t.
a statement Judge Kingsbury is sale
to have made to Otsuka touching OIL
the lack of confidence the court hat
in Mr.. Otsuka as an interpreter. TIL,
testimony, however, seemed more fla
vorable to the prosecution than to thu

HATS OFF" IN
CENTRAL UNION
Request by the Pastor Yester-
dav Was Not Needed
by All.
(From Monday Is Advertiser


Not all the women members of Cen.
trail Union Church who attended serv.
ices yesterday morning complied with
the request of the pastor that hats be
removed, possibly third of the femi.
nine portion of the congregation laying
their headgear aside. The request,
while not altogether radical, is some-
what of an innovation for those who
attend the day services, although a
large number of the women 90 to the
evening services bareheaded. The re-
quest of the pastor was printed in the
Central Union Church leaflet, found in
all the pews, as follows: Twentieth
Century Religion-As thou wouldst have
others remove their Notwithstanding
hats from before they face, even so do
unto them in God s house,
Before the services began a score of
women removed their hats and few
did likewise on entering afterwards, but
the majority paid no attention TO the
request. 1t was rather noticeable that
many of those not complying were
among the older attendants of the
church, who have been members of the
congregation since thei- youth. TIL,
innovation is new, and possibly after {
few Sundays the request may be NOR,
generally acquiesced in.
1t is understood that the request came
from the pastor merely from the ma
terial aspect of the situation, and no
from any religious promptings. TIL,
hats of the present season being large
both in height and width of brim ant
extent of trimmings-the pastor cam,
to the conclusion that worshiper
would not have their attention dis
tracted during the services of the won
derful headgear was eliminated.
Many who felt that the request wa
prompted by religious scruples tina
heads in God IS house should be upcov
cred, point to the theater for com
parison. In theater, it was stated b,
advocates of uncovered heads there
that one paid an admission to see tn,
stage, and to see it without obstruc
tions, and hearing in theater was onl,
incidental to seeing. In a church som
who greatly objected to removing head
gear argued that one did not enter
church so much to see as to hear; tina
it did not matter whether the paste
could be seen at all times, or whethe
the choir was visible or invisible.
In theater hat can be held on tn
lap throughout the performance. In
church, on account of rising and sit
ting and kneeling, hat can not thu
be cared for. If the church is crowde
it can not be laid on the seat beside til
owner. 1t can not well be placed unde
the seat, as the feet of those benin
may inadvertently crush SD feathe
or one IS own feet may settle in til
, crown and ruin the creation. To pr,
vide hatroom, some say, savors to
much of the accommodations offered b
theater.
However, the edict has gone fort
and will probably remain in the churc
archives.

First Returns Altogether in
Favor of the Old
Government.
RELIGIOUS RIOTS DISTURB
But Attempt to Incite Roman
Catholics Against BRAND
Fail of Result.

PARIS, April 25.-The returns so
far received in the election of members
of the Chamber of Deputies indicate
an overwhelming victory for the gov
eminent. OF one hundred and thirty
four seats heard from, out Of the total
of five hundred and ninety-one, the
Right has not elected member.
The opposition, which is made up of
the Royalists, Bonapartists, Nationalist
and Liberals, made desperate attempt
throughout the campaign to ineite a
religious strife, urging devout Roman
Catholics to turn out of power the par
ties that had been instrumental in seiz-
ing the property of the church and
closing the Roman Catholic church
schools. This lad only slight effect
upon the vote in the districts that have
been heard from, although there were
religious riots yesterday in Chambon.
The election returns show the follow
ing results up to last night: Repub-
licans, 75; Conservatives, "a, and So
cialists, %. These are all with the gov
eminent in division.

SUGAR ACTIVITY
IN PHILIPPINES
Manila Reports Increased Acreage
of Cane. Due to Provisions
of the Payne Bill.

MANILA, March Glowing to the
admission of Philippine sugar to Amsri-
can markets and the shortage in the
beet sugar crop of the world, which
largely controls the price of all raw
sugars, the planters of cane sugar in
the Philippines are using every avail
able space for the purpose OF planting
the cane. Prices have advanced over
thirty per cent in the last six months;
last year Iloilo assorted first, second
and third grades were PIG picul, while
this year prices have advanced to PS.50
for the same grades.
Pampanga province is fast coming to
the front as sugar producing district,
as will be seen from the following par.
tial estimates of the output for this
year. Pampanga, 100000 piculs; Batan
and Taal, 100000 piculs; Laguna, $4,000
piouls; Bulacan, 10000 piculs; Mari.
quina and San Mateo, 5000 piculs; Ba-
tangas, 5000 piculs.
Owing to the efforts of the planters
in Pampangas to increase their planting
area, although lacking sufficient tops
for replanting, novel and picturesque
method was pursued.
Parts of the old cane were made into
bundles and placed in the rivers AMI
small streams to sprout, in many cases
seeming to bridge the streams solid'y
Although every effort has been made
to increase the output this year, it is
estimated that only about one-sevenof
as much will be produced rs in tn;
banner year 1896, when the output from
the different districts in the Philippines
was over 100000 piculs.
High Price Stimulating.
DUMAGUETE, March designs OF
prosperity are seen on every hand il
this section, and the inhabitants appea:
contented and happy. Great activity i,
manifested by the planters, and large
area of land that has lain idle for many
years is being cultivated this season.
This activity is due to the results Of
the Payne bill and the present price o.
sugar. The sugar planters are enthusi
astic, and believe their lean years hav,
at last ended and that they are nos
about to enjoy their years of plenty
Hundreds of acres are being put int
cultivation, improved farming machin
cry is being imported, the sugar mill
are being repaired, and where rust an;
ruin have held sway in the past ther,
is to be activity in the future.
A feature of the present prosperit.
among the planters is that the politita
agitator is without weapon and i
unable to carry on his campaign of agi
tation against the government and I'M
able to cry hard times. With a goo
, crop this year, and crops are usual.
