McGregor
Landing
Swept by Heavy Seas
' Could Not Land.
Tuesday owning last, there was
such an unusually heavy swell at
McGregor landing that the S. S.
Mauna Kca was unable, to land nil
of her passengers and" the IJ. S.
mails.- The first boat made the
landing in a lull between heavy seas,
andithe passengers scrambled ashore
safely before the big rollers came in
sucli rapid succession that the lines
broke, and only the good seaman
ship displayed by the crew saved .it
from disaster. The boat safely clear
ed the wharf leaving' ashore two
men of the crew, who had jumped
on the wharf with the lines, but
were unable to get back.
The next two boats did not at
tempt to make a landing and return
ed to the steamer with the passen
gers and mail, and. the Mauna Kea
resumed her course to Hawaii.
All that night and Wednesday
the heavy seas battered the
wharf, and eve-witnesses say the
green seas swept the structure from
end to end, and up against the ware
house. Some of the woodwork
around the. Avharf was broken ' off
arTd spept away, and much of the
floor planking knocked loose. About
one hundred dollars would repair
all the damage to the structure
itself, but the feelings of the public
suffered over $20,000 damages.
As this state of affairs is nothing
unusual to the McGregor landing,
there are people who want to know
in case a person gets seriously injured
or killed there, whether, the Steam
ship Company, the Territory or the
County would be liable for the da
mage? On account of it there is
talk of calling a public meeting to
ask the government to restore the
old landing at Maala'ea, which after
alibis the safest landing on that side
of Maui; and there are others who
favor changing over to the Kihei
side of the bay, where ttic seas are

A Wonderful Cure.
A Wonderful demonstration of
the power of modern science over
deseaso was given in Honolulu re
cently. A workman, not having
the proper care after an accident,
was attacked by tetanus, commonly
known as lock-jaw. When the man
was taken to the hospital, his whole
body was rigid, and his jaws were
set. Dr. Mackall the city and
county physician, who was in at'
tendance fought the desease so sua
eessfully that the man has been (lis
charged irom the hospital and is
now going about his work as usual.
This is the first cape of tetanus that
has ever been cured in these islands,
and m tact the percentage gi cures
known is only about ono in one
thousand. Dr. Mackall is receiv
- ing congratulations, and the county
of Honolulu is fortunate in having
so able a practitioner for county
physician.

Murder by Filipino.
Another Filipino murder took
place in I faniakua on Monday morn
ing. Eugenio Maranda, who had
been working at Paauhau, was walk
ing along the government road head
ed for Kukuihaele with two country
men, when he met four others of his
own race, among whom was a man
named Texson, whom he had had a
dispute with before the meeting
mentioned. When the two met
there was little said but Texson pull
ed a revolver" and shot Marfuida
several times in the huad.
Deputy Sheriff Overend was noti
fied at once and went to the scene
of the trouble. The victim of the
assault was there but his assailant
and the rest of the Filipinos had
disappeared. Overend brought the
wounded man to town and had him
attended by a doctor and ho recover
ed enough to tell the names of his
assailant and all the others in the
party. His two companions came
n later and gave themselves up and
two of the others were arrested short
ly after.
On Tuesday morning Overend
heard that Texson had been seen
in the bushes above Paauhau and
immediately organized a posse in
pursuit. 1 he searcH was a success
ful ono and thanks to the quickness
of ono of the posse, Manuel S. Bo
telho, Texaon was captured with
out bloodshed. He had ono of his
companions with him and was fully
armed and ready to resist arrest to
the last, but Botelho caught sight
of his man first and got the drop on
him, compelling him to surrender
He was brought into Honokaa and
placed in jail, where he is held for
preliminary hearing before Judge
Hall.
Texson seems to be a bad actor,
from all accounts, for ho had de-
lirmincd, according to his own state
ment to make a clean job and was
planning to come to PaauhaU the
n'ght he wa,s. captured and kill an
other man with whom ho had a quar
rcl. i His arrest on Tuesday morn
ing probably saved the life of his
intended victim.
iuaranua cued tuesiiay morning
before he had a chance to identify
his assailant, but, with tho many
witnesses, it should lo an easy mat
ter to obtain a conviction against
Texson. Maranda was so badly hurt
that tho doctor who attended him
was very much surprised that ho
lived for more than a few minutes

Politics
on Maui
Lahaina Wants 10 Nominate
M
the Senator.
With the fall elections drawing
near .the politicians are astir, rros
pective candidates arc reaching out
for delegates and seeking support at
the coming convention. The poli
tical leaders in each precinct are
being sounded, and mountains of
lopes are built on relunctantly
given promisee.
The Third District is to elect one
senator this year, and W. J. Coellio
is the only known aspirant for the
place. He made two trips around
Maui quite recently, and lost much
strength by indulging in a campaign
of mis-representation and abuse
against other leading republicans.
Tho most sanguine of his friends
are beginning to doubt his chances
of landing the G. O. P. nomination.
Ever since the plebiscite the demo
crats have been ready to tender him
the nomination on their ticket with
out conditions: but the tide has
turned and the democrats have bo
gun to question the wisdom of such
course and will no longer give
Coelbo the senatorial nomination t,
unless he comes forward to enroll
himself as a democrat. The home
rulers are saying they will nominate
either C. L. Kookoo or Win. White
for senator. So Coelbo will have
to make good his threat and run
independent.
For the lower house candidates
for honors on the republican ticket
are as thick as bees. roni nana
district Hon. J. W. Kawaakoa,
John Wilcox, W. H. Drummond
and J. Hanuna are being put for
ward by their friends. For Maka
wao the names of Hon. E." B. Car-
ley and A. Gomcd arc mentioned.
For Wailuku tho aspirants are A.
Garcia, Geo. Maxwell, Samuel Ke
liinoi, W. E. K. Maikai, John
Kalino and Hon. M. P. Waiwaiole,
although at the mention of tho lat
ter name tho scalp locks of many of
tho old party war horses of the
districts outside of Wailuku will
bristle.
Fronl Ialmiua Ed. Waiaholo and
Chas. K. Makekau are candidates.
From Molokai Hon. Joel Nakaleka
and Dibble K. lino are aspirants.
Lahaina is also anxious to come
forward with a senatorial candidate,
and on tho score of preserving party
harmony and allowing Lahaina re
presentation in tho upper house the
other districts will Ihj perfectly will
ing to let Lahaina have tho honor
provided tho Lahaina delegation
will namo an acceptable candidate.
Hon. Philip Pali will bo tho man if
he will consent to try conclusions
with senator Coelbo.
All of the county officers will
seek re-nomination for the offices
now held by them. Judge A. N.
Kepoikai will try to wrest the nomi
nation for County Attorney from D.
II. Case, but whether he will suc
ceed is tho question."
Tho Wailuku precinct will be
represented by nineteen delegates at
the coming Republican County Con
vention. At present tho politicians
are busy making slates to put
through the coming primaries. Ono
slate is dubbed the "anti-haoles"
from tho fact no haolo appears on
it: another slato will optx)se the
election of office holders to political
conventions and committees, and
another will contain a mixture of
haoles, and Hawaiians, with quite
a number of office holders Ixith
haoles and Hawaiians on the list.
This slato represents tho "regulars"
who will allow nothing but regular
party principals and methods to
prevail.

Used His Ax on the Flume.
The objection of the homesteaders
of Konato the flumes of the Hutchin
son plantation mossing their lands
came to head recently when li home
steader named Rogers took an ax
and cut down a part of the ilumo
that ran across his land. Tho clim
ax was brought about by, the fact
that the plantation people trespass
ed on his property to fix tho flume
wnen no nau lorbiu tiiom doing, so
and after they had done their work
took his ax and partially destroyed
the flume.
Iind Commissioner Campbell has
taken a hand in tho matter and has
persuaded Rogers that tho plantation
has a right to cross his land by put
ting tho matter up to tho Attorney
General, who gave it as his opinion
that it was not trespass for tho plan
tation peoplo to go upon tho land of
'homesteaders for the purpose, of
repairing the Hume.
It is further stated that if Rogers
or any others of tho homesteaders
still feel agrieved they can tako tho
matter to tho courts.
