Of those interested became quite busy,
and on Sunday evening, or rather
night, for the session lasted until close
to midnight, the judge had one SEES
sion, and the following morning, last
ing from 1880 until o'clock, he had
another session with parties who wish
ed to state their views.
Judge Stanley stated, before leav-
ing in the Claudine yesterday after
noon, that in no case had he called on
any one to give statements to him, but
that he had merely listened to state
ments made on the initiative Of the
persons who had come to him, nor
had there been anything formal
about it,
He stated that those who came to
see him Sunday night were w. H. c.
Campbell, Chas. Weatherbee, Mrs. L.
A. Andrews, Miss Vannatta, Ed. Maby
and Miss Canario. Yesterday morn
ing those who came to see him were

The attorneys on both sides have
nothing to say about the matter, but
are waiting to hear from the board of
education tomorrow as to the method
of the hearing before the board Of
commissioners next Saturday after
noon. The evidence is now being
written up by Stenographer Springer,
and will be sent from here in time to
reach Honolulu on Saturday.

erection of mail boxes or receptacles
at gateways and entrances to their
premises. Some time ago personal
letters we're sent out from this office
requesting patrons to erect boxes and
enclosing cards to be returned to the
postmaster on which the addresses
were asked to state if it would be pos
sible for them to have boxes erected
at entrances in which mail could be de-
posted by letter carriers. The notices
covered locations in the downtown
and outside districts where carriers
had to go a considerable distance from
the street; or where for other causes
at places more easily accessible and
were delayed in making deliveries.
cent. Of the addresses responded by
erecting boxes. 1t is believed that if
the patrons Of the carriers service in
the districts as at present establish
ed will meet the requirements as in
Dictated, more favorable showing can
be made to the Department and fav-
orable results follow. AS matters
now stand, and as the Departments
records show, letter carriers in Homo
lulu serve but about half the number
of patrons and carry but about half
the amount of mail as do a like num-
Der of letter carriers at localities on
the mainland. The territory covered
by our carriers is greater than carrier
districts on mainland. This fact is
largely due to the longer distances
carriers have to travel from street
lines to residences and the failure of
patrons to properly number their
houses and put up receptacles.
1t would seem from the foregoing
that patrons already favored with
delivery should earnestly endeavor to

Search for the Levant
While De Greaves was making this
epoch-marking trip, the sloop Of war
Levant had sailed away. She became
considerably overdue and grave fears
were expressed regarding her safety.
A millionaire named James d. Hague,
of is Wall St., New York. who had
previously sailed i'm the sloop began
TO make Inquiries regarding her, and
about four years ago he succeeded in
inducing the naval authorities to in
stitute a search for the vessel. The
man-of-war Tacoma was dispatched.
but the search was fruitless. The
Tacoma was given special instructions
to look for a reef that had been sight
ed in the Facnic by Captain Lawless,
who was at that time in charge of
the old Australia. A diligent search
for this land was made by the Ia
coma, but she failed to locate it.
Captain Lawless states that I'M
doubtedly this is the land that Cap
tain De Greaves found. The failure
of the Tacoma to find it is attributed
to. the fact that it is only visible at
a distance of about half mile or a
mile.
For the first time Captain Nichols
is mentioned in the story. Captain
Lawless tells a little incident that
will no doubt be appreciated by sea-
faring men. John d. Hague gave a
banquet in San Francisco at which
among others present were Captains
Lawless and Nichols. Hague asked
Nichols what he would consider a
good navigator. Nichols replied: II
the navigator had established his
position according to his best calcula-
tions, then by taking three miles in
his dividers, and measuring off three
miles on the margin of his chart, af-
forwards describing a circle around
his position as he found it on the

Captain Lawless was a particular
friend of Captain De Greaves of many
years standing When he first met
De Greaves he was private secretary
and manager to King Thankambou
OF the Fiji Islands. Captain Lawless
was then in the u. S. sloop of war St.
Marys. De Greaves was civil en-
gineer and a very versatile man; in
fact Lawless describes him as the
most versatile man he had ever
known, and he was so resourceful
that he did not think that he could
be beaten.

Later on he met Captain De Greaves
at time that he was acting as King
Kalakaua's right hand man. Kala-
kaua was also a personal friend OF
Lawless, so the three of them renew
ed their acquaintance. 1t was soon
after that that De Greaves resigned
from his position with King Kala-
kaua, and took a schooner out bound
for Callao with a party of opera sing
ers on board. 1t was on this trip that
the new island was met with, and De
Greaves called it after himself. The

School Scandal Still
StirS HiIO, And Causes
A $4,000 Libel Suit

HILO, April 1S.--Judge Stanley
who is a member of the board of edu-
cation commissioners, was in Hilo
last week. While he came entirely
for the purpose of attending to some
legal business before the circuit court,
he did during his stay show interest
in the high school affair and made
some inquiries on his own hook
The judge stated that he had been
informed that the meeting of the com
missioners, at which the high school
trouble would be taken up, would be
held in Honolulu on Saturday, April
%. He could not say what would be
the method of procedure to be follow
ed, but he fancied that either side
would be given an opportunity to pro-
duce such witnesses as 1t would want
to have heard by the commissioners
He did not think that the commission
ers had any legal right to call wit
nesses, though it was, of course, pos
sible that it might invite individuals
to give statements should this appear
desirable. The commission at pres
ent consists of w. H Rice, from
Kauai; Mrs. Wilcox and Judge Stan
ley, from Oahu; Worth Aiken, from
Maui, and Miss Paris and ]. T. Moir,
from Hawaii.
Boards Action Final.
Judge Stanley added that he con-
sidered it beyond question that what
ever action the commissioners should
take in the matter, such action would
be final and would not be subject to
any appeal or review before any other
tribunal. The board had full power
to appoint teachers and to discipline
them, and would without doubt do as
it thought best. OF course, actions in
court, such as suits for breach of con.
tract, were outside of the boards
functions.
Many Saw Stanley.

that Judge Stanley was a commission
er of education, and that as such he

front section of the town. A few
years ago the stranger when he first
struck the town, was reminded of
places like Iloilo or other hamlets
in the Philippines, but now you are

Another thing which strikes me
very faVorably about Hilo is the good
condition of the city streets. Is that
sarcasm? No. sir; your streets are
very good, especially as compared
with those Of Honolulu, which are in
a wretched condition. can't say

COAST VIEWS Of FIuPINOs
WHO WOULDN'T co TO ALASKA

San Francisco Bulletin: A major.
ity of the laborers who arrived on
the Korea this week from Hawaii, en-
route to Alaska, where positions with
packers await them, have refused to
continue their journey and have de-
cided to remain in San Francisco.
Some of the men, however, left today
aboard the Continental and the ORR
entail bound for Alaska. The packers
refuse to discuss the situation in any
phase.
Call: From one end of the water
front to the other the hustle of get
ting the salmon fleet to sea is in evil
dence. Laborers for the canneries
have been placed on many of the
ships and in each case guards from
a private detective agency are posted
on the wharf to see that nobody es-
capes. The ship Tacoma, freighted
with cannery supplies and carrying
large and cosmopolitan crowd of la
borers, sailed yesterday for Bristol
Bay and will be followed today by
several others. The steamer Chilkat
cleared yesterday for Blaine and the
ships Oriental and Standard for Bris-
tol Bay.
Went on Tacoma.
About sixty of the Filipinos who
came from Honolulu on the Korea
and who backed out of their bargain
when they arrived here are said to be
on board the Tacoma on their way to
Bristol Bay. Hunger and a better con-
tract than the one that tempted them
away from Honolulu are said to have
been the inducements that made
them change their minds.
1t is likely that the whole consign-
ment from Honolulu would have stood
by the original agreement If they had
not been scared by the martial recep-
ton that was given them here. AS
soon as the liner passed quarantine
three representatives of a private de-
tective agency, one Of them wearing a
big star, boarded the ship and con-
stituted themselves guard over the
little brown laborers.

New Yorkers-both Native Americans
and foreigners-out to the broad acres
of the country, away from the over
crowded, unhealthy cities, where work
is scarce and hard to find. Much has
been done since then. The farmers all
over the country are going to try and
get that James J. Hill cup away from

by raising better wheat and must have
big exhibit from this section-so that
we will not only have the best chance
to win this valuable 81 900 Cup, but
that many of the New Workers will
come to our section and buy land. We
need more good neighbors and must help
boom this locality and also the Great

What You Must Do to Win This Cup.
The conditions are very simple and
easy and any farmer or grower in the
United States can easily compete for
this cup.
The trophy cup offered by James j.
