Lincoln, who had sent an agent to spy
out Hawaii with a view to future
acquisition, he felt that the interests
of this country required a naval sta
ton in the Hawaiian group. Pearl
Harbor ranked with Sydney and San
Francisco harbors in its accommoda-
tons for ships, except for the need Of
dredging at the entrance, and if for
titled and provided with a navy yard,
it would give the owner and possessor
base from which the command If

quire Pearl Harbor by treaty and sent
there to report on boundaries.
The Hawaiian ministry was agree
able to this project, feeling, as did
/ the responsible American residents,
that. it meant security for Hawaii
from Old World aggression but the
English residents had other views,
and walter Murray Gibson, IN MOT
mon adventurer who, later, became
premier of the kingdom, was bitterly
opposed. He ranged the natives
against the treaty and undecided the
mind of the King, who had at first
been favorable. Nothing had been

dropped.

predecessor, Kamehameha V, to Mrs.
Bishop. But she declined it. When
Lunalilo began to fail in health, his
Cabinet urged him to exercise his pre-
rogative and name his own heir. This
the dying King refused to do. "They
elected me-" he said, "let them also
elect my successor"
What followed was eventful. Eng
fish influence supported Queen Emma,
the consort of the late Kamehameha
" for the throne, and the American
residents, among whom Mr.. Bishop
was conservative leader, centered
on David Kalakaua, a young chief OF
exalted rank, and a man who was
believed to be safe" The Legisla
ture met and elected Kalakaua, but
the election brought on a riot which
compelled the captain of an American
war ship in the harbor to land his
bluejackets and restore order.

that he would not be candidate for re-

evident purpose of indicating that the

was against a third consecutive term"

that not only is the situation in Mexico

Mccormick of San Mateo held the
chauffeur to answer before the SUI
perior court for murder. The direct
evidence in question was the testi-
mony of Timothy himself and the dy-
ing statement of Moore, read into the
record of Charles N. Kirkbride, a no.
tary public and attorney of San Mateo.
The mystery of the case. whether or
not Mrs Lillian L. Moore. wife of the
man who was killed. was in the ma
chine when the trouble started, was
left unsolved. Timothy swore that she
was not, Moores dying statement said
that she was, and Lena Behrman, Mrs.
Moores maid, testified that after the
first shot was fired she found Mrs.
Moore screaming on the porch of the
house, not far from where the two men
were engaged in their duel across Ell
Canine Real.
Mrs. Moore was not in court, which
was held in Brady's hall in San Mateo,
with the standing room only" sign out
at the door. Her attorney, William H.
Jordan, presented to the court a cer-
tificate from DR.. III. G.. Warren, her
physician, in effect that she was i'll un-
der the care Of a nurse, in a severe
nervous condition, and could not ap-
pear in court to testify.
The absence Of Mrs. Moore not only
prevented important testimony being
given regarding the coincidence of her
appearance on the porch of her home
after she had been away from home for
eight hours. almost simultaneously
with the firing of the first shots of the
duel. but it also prevented an eager
throng of curiosity seekers from glut-
ting their ears with such testimony as
she might have given. Brady hall
never held such a disappointed audi
ence as assembled there yesterday.

future trial In the superior court in

manded.
