Maui Trip Plan to Keep the Parly Use fully Busy on this Island. Governor Frear and party arriv ed in Kahului on Saturday on their tour of Maui. Hon, H. P. Baldwin invited the Governor and members of his official family to breakfast with him at his Spreekelsvillercsidence, afterward to look through Puunene mill and go anywhere else they chose in the neighborhood. Auto mobiles would bo at their service. The invitation was accepted. A visit to the mill was made and a trip to the lower nd of Omaopio lands was made in automobiles and the great field that have been barren for ages but are now pro ducing many tons of sugar were viewed. The part" returned in time to view the townsite that has been laid out at Kahului. They visited the breakwater constructed by the Ka hului Railroad company at a cost o'f over $100,000, and noted the great improvement in the harbor that is now of sufficient dept for the largest vessels and where they lie quietly at anchor while heavy swells may be running outside. From Kahului the party land ed at liana and the first home steads visited were through the rubber region as far as Keanac. There was some land that was examined in the region of Keanac, which is now under lease having fifteen years to run. The leassees aro willing to homestead the land. There aro still some lots through the rubber country not taken up. On Monday a proposed ex change of road lands in Hana was looked into. There i& an outstand ing question of compensation on account of cane land taken for roads. In the region of Makawao a proposal is pending for an exchange of land, that would bo good for cane when tho ditch is extended, for lands that would be good for pineapples and therefore for home steads. Tho party reached Koanae Monday evening and Paia Wed nesday evening.- They were visit ed many places of interest includ ing tho great pineapple orchards and then continued their tour of the Kula district where many homesteads are and where many more aro desired. At Ulupalakua there is land under lease, part of which may be homesteaded and part reserved for forest purposes. .Perhaps an altera tion of the terms of leaso iriay be effected to conform to tho present conditions which arc different to those existing when the leaso was made. There wero no public hearings, tho Governor prefering to deal with the people interested.

II. CASK, 2nd Vice-President, this 2nd ilay'bf January, :90s. GARCIA, Notary Public Sec. Jud. Circuit Is" Charged ' IT With Libel Paper Publishes Moralo Article. Another crimintl' libel case has resulted from the articles which ap peared in the Portuguese newspaper, the A. Liberdade, in which Greiio- rio Jose Morato, who arrived hero in the Kumeric, was accused of be ing an anarchist, and which inti mated that he might have left Portu gal because of his being implicated with the conspirators who killed King Carlos and the Crown Prince, Last week Board of Health In spector Durao, who wrote the of fending article, wijs arrested for criminal libel, and tlu's morning a similar charge was made against the A Liberdade Publishing Co. The complaint was sworn to by Morato, and the warrant served on J. ('. Souza, the secretary of the com pany. When the case came up in the Police Court .this morning 15. C. Peters, who represented the defen dant, pointed out that the complaint was defective in that it did not state that Souza was the secretary of the company, although service had been made on him. Attorney Correa, who appeared for the complaining witness, stated that this was not necessary, as such service was made legal by provision by statute. The hearing of tho case, as well as of argument on the point raised, was continued until next Wednesday, on which date the Durao case has been set for trial. The matter has stirred up great excitement in tho Portuguese community, and the outcome of the trial will be watched with great interest. A look was taken at tho Kula homesteads. Interesting matters wore seen all along tho route, for instance the pineapplo growing and canning in Haiku, where pineapples are said to do hotter than anywhere olso in tho U lands." Commissioner Pratt is in general chargo of thc.arrangomentsi for tho tour of the island. Superintendent Marston Camp bell gave an outline of thobearing3 of the oxecutivo visit upon public works. "I am going to mako an investi gation of the landings and derricks on tho island," Mr. Campbell said. "Wo have just finished a lot of new work on some of tho landings. "Waterworks and public build ings will also be inspected, includ ing the now courthouse at Wailuku and perhaps some of tho new schoolhouses under contract. The waterworks of Lahair.a and Wailu ku will receive attention, there be ing some important matters con nected with the Wailuku service. "There is a hard proposition in the needed repairs of the old courl- nouso at uuiaina, tor wnicn some money is available. It is a stono structure and holds considerable historic interest." In this connection Governor Frear lator said that ho remembers when the Suprenje Court judges held circuit terms m the old build ing at ijanaina. wnen no was teaching at Lahainaluna Seminary twenty-sevon years ago, tho late Judge McCully presided at a term of court there. Mr. Campbell also referred to the proposed investigation of Ka hului harbor and breakwater.
