James J. Corbett appeared nt tho
National Theater Inst night in his
now piny, "Tho Naval Cadet."
Tho engngoinont closed hist night,
when tho Cnliforninn mndo n sav
ngo and unprovoked nttnek on
William Murphy, n firomon con
nected with tho city Firo Depart
ment, who was detnilod to wntcli
the stage o tho theater to prevent
firo. Murphy, although sixty
pounds ligher than Corbett, ac
complished what neither John L.
Sulhvnu nor Chnrles Mitchell
could do, namely, drnw first blood.
Murphy, who wns making his
rounds, detected tho smell of cig
aretto smoko in tho dressing-room
occupied by Corbett. Ho knocked
at tho door and noticed a lighted
cigarette in Corbott's loft hand.
Ho informed tho Californian that
it wns against tho ruloB of tho
theater, and respectfully request
ed that tho cigarette bo put out.
Corbett denied that he was smok
ing, although tho littlo roll of
lighted tobacco was hold botweon
Ins fingers. "When his attontion
was called to this fact he quickly
ordorod tho fireman away from tho
room. Jumping up from n trunk
on which ho was fitting Corbett
abused tho fireman and banged
tho door in his face. Murphy
knocked at tho door and attempted
to untor, but Corbett opened tho
dor and rushed at Murphy.
As tho ox-champion grabbed
Murphy tho lattor lot drive with
his right hand, which found a
resting place on Corbott's mouth.
Two tooth wero loosened, and
Corbott's uppor lip was split. As
the blood spurted from his lip,
Jim's anger know no bounds, and
ho swung wildly at ins loo. Miir
piiy wont (iov
hy wont down under tho fusil-
lado of blows
"Whilo lying on
tho floor Corbott kicked tho help
less fireman in tho ribs and back.
After vonting his spleon on Mm
phy, Corbott rotired, apparently
satisfied with his victory.
Tho fireman, when ho could
sufficiently recover, mndo his way
toward tho mnnngor's oifico, with
tho intention of reporting tho as
sault Corbott was coming in tho
I opposito direction. Tho appear
ance o Murphy actocl liko a red
flag waved at n bull. As Murphy
was asconding tho stairs Corbott
attempted to kick him in
tho fnco, but tho fireman's
athlotio education had not been
lost on him, and ho grabbedtho
log before it reached its dostinn
tion. Tho unexpected stop dis
turbed Corbott's equilibrium, and
he slipped on tho top of tho long
flight of stairs, down which ho
slid on his back. Murphy got
ahead of him and attomptedto es
cape, but Corbott caught him on
the stage, where tho two ongngod
in another rough and tumblo
fight, being finally separated by
members of tho compnny nnd
theater employees. Both men
wero badly battorcd, Corbott's
mouth being badly swollen.
"It was not tho first timo wo
have had trouble with Mr. Cor
bett this week," said Murphy.
"Once before ho was violating tho
rules of tho thontor by smoking,
nnd when reminded of it his valet
threntoned to throw mo down
stnirs."
Tho mills of tho Northwestorn

Nr.w York. Jan. 25. Colonol
Cockcrill writes to tho Horald
from Tokio as follows: A. H.
Butler, a California capitalist, who
has successfully "promoted" n
watch company in Osaka and who
has boon trying for somo timo to
induce tho Japanese Government
to establish a lino of steamers
between Osnkn, Yokohama and
Salina Cruz, on tho west const of
Moxico, has boon compollod to
givo up his project, temporarily at
least. Mr. Hutlor somo timo ngo
made a combination of cotton
goods manufacturers in Osaka,
which is now known as tho Japan
Cotton Trading Company.
It was in tho interest of tlieso
manufacturers that ho proposed
to establish a lino o steamers re
ferred to, his theory being that
cotton could bo taken from our
Gulf Statos, from Galveston to
Coatzncoa, tho most eastorn termi
nus of tho Tohuantoneo Railway,
carried across tho isthmus and
thenco by steamer to Japan at a
much less cost than by way of
Livorpool and Suez.
Tho Moxican Government vas
greatly intorestcd'in tlio 'enter
prise and was willing to afford all
facilities. Tho Tohunutopac Bail
way is 130 miles in length and is
now open to uallic. iilr. Uutler,
being interested in tho Topusteto
iron mine, somo forty miles
south of San Diego, and di
rectly on tho coast, hoped
to bo ablo to introduco this
high quality of iron in Japan in
cidentally in connection with his
subsidized lino of steamers. But
tho Japanese have many projects
on hand an thoy aro greatly taken
up now with their proposed di
rect lino of freight and pasaongor
steamers botweon Yokohama,
Kobe, Nagasaki and London. As
for iron, thoy insist thoy have nil
thoy want at home. As n mattor
of fact, thoy have not as yot de
veloped any iron deposits of a
high charnctor, though tho coun
try may bo full of it.
Last summer Mr. Butler went
to the United States to investigate
tho cotton business. Ho found
that the railways of Texas would
charge him G5 cents por 100 for
iitmuug cuLiuii num ioiui niuuiuu
or tho interior to Galveston. To
ship from thoro to tho gulf tprmi
nuB of tho Tohuantopec Railway
would add anothor heavy charge,
and at this point ho was forced to
drop tho mattor. Ho, however,
Becured a rate with railways
reaching San Francisco from tho
cotton bolt, which ho thinks will
onablo him to begin shipping Am
erican cotton to Japnn by the es
tablished lines, no hns contracts
with forty-two manufacturers in
Japan, who will take only
American cotton from him, and ho
will bogin with monthly shipments
of something over -1000 bales. Ho
expects soon to run this up to
5000 bales a month, and hohopos
to doublo this shipment in tho
courso of a year, llo will bo nblo
to placo Amoricnn cotton at tho
doors of Japan manufacturers at
something liko 20 cents por pound
and ho predicts that from this
timo forward not a balo of our
cotton will reach Japan by way of
Livorpool.
Manufacturers horo expect to
pluco their shootings and prints in
tho Amorioan market, and they
will certainly do bo unless pre
vented by tho tariff. Tho Japan
ese spirit of today is to build and
create everything possiblo at
homo and to not permit a dollnr
to go abroad which can bo kept in
1 Japan.

Much interest is boing mani
fested over tho forthcoming inter
national shooting contest between
Companies C and G of tlio Cali
fornia National Guard and tho
National Guard of Hawaii, which
is to bo ehot horo on Saturday
and in San Francisco on Sunday.
Presuming that anything pertain
ing to tho match would bo of in
terest n BuLM'riK roportor was de
tailed to interview Colonel Fishor
and othors on the subject.
In rosponso to a roquest to furn
ish a list of those who would Bhoot
for tho honor of Hawaii, Colonel
Fishor said that ho would not do
cido on tho toam until Friday, tho
day boforo tho match, for many
reasons, principal among which
was his dosiro to givo ovoryono a
chauco to participate and to
oucourago all who woro anx
ious to take part in tho match
to keep up thoir prnctico until tho
last day. Correct records of all
tonin and practico shoots aro boing
furnished Colonel Fishor by com
pany captains and from theso ho
will make tho selection on Fri
day. Enough was learned by tho re
porter from Colonel Fishor and
others prominent in tho mattor to
justify the assertion that thoso
who aro .mentioned bolow will
sural)' bo in tho match, and pains
havo been taken to givo thoir past
shooting records and probable
score on Saturday as nearly cor
rect as possible. It should bo
borne in mind that tho sharp
shooters and nil civilians aro ex
cluded from participation by tho
forms of tho contest.
Tlio match is for n team of fifty,
ton Bhots onch nt 200 ynrds, or
lifty possible points each. Tho
California team is said to bo able
to easily nvorngo 42 points, nnd
thoro aro thoso who think tho
same of thetoainColonol Fishor will
produce. Competent judges, how
over, claim that although this
w ould bo possiblo with a team of
forty, tho oxtrn ton mon will pull
tho nvorngo down materially.
Tho slalf nnd lino officers will
bo represented by Colonel Fishor,
Colonel Sopor, Cnptnin Cnmara,
Major Jones and possibly Captain
Broome. Fishor is rogarded as a
safo 45 man and may go two or
throo points bottor. Ho has a re
cord of two 'lG's and throo 47's in
provious matches, and has made
ns high as 49. Sopor is said to bo
sufo for 43, although ho iB somo
what out of practico, not having
douo much Bhooting in two years.
Camara is good ior 4-1 or 42 and
Jones for 41. Broomo is a now
man but is said to bo safo for
something over 40.
Company B will furnish moro
men for tho toam than any other
single compnny. Captain White
has furnished Colonel Fishor with
tho names of fifteen applicants
and most of them will bo selected.
Captain "Whito is a safo 43,privato
lMwni ought to make 45, although
ho had bad luck last Saturday and
only scored 42. Corporal Park
having mndo ouo 45 in a match is
oxpected to ropoat tho perform
ance, and all tho mombors of Sat
urday's team say thoy will do bet
tor m tho international shoot.
Captain Whito oxpocts that tho
best ton of his men will mako 425
points botweon thorn on Saturday
if tho weathor is anything liko
favorable.
Tho othor voluuteor companies
can only furnish a fow mon onch.
Compnny A will bo roprosonled by
Captain Paul Smith and possibly
ono or two otliors. Com puny C
has a fow good shots, of whom
two nro protty certain to bo select
ed. Company D may bo rolied on
for a fow 40 mon. Company G
has a 45 man in tho shape of
William Boyd, who has inado two
48's in recent practice. Captain
Murray's company lias ono man
who learned to shoot in the sor
vico of tho old Emporor of Ger
many, who is said to bo good lor
43 and novor niado less than 40 in
his life. Everyono knows who
ho is.
Of tho regulars Captain Good
hns handed in a list of eleven
would - bo contestants. Thoir
names nro Lieutenant Coyno, ser
geants Taylor and Moore, corpor
al Lohman, 'privates Buchanan,
Hatinis, AV. J. Smith, Gouvier and
three othors. In prnctico this
team has nvornged a littlo over 40,
excluding the captain, who is
safe for a 45. Cnptnin Good holds
tho highest record of nnyono in a
strictly militnry inntch in uniform,
ho having mado a 47.
Captain Zioglor's company
hns n fow good shots, but
n its numencnl strength has
been reduced to nbout fifty
mon ho hns not much mntorinl to
draw from. It will furnish a safo
45 man in tho person of Corporal
Sam Johnson, and 45 mon aro
what Colonel Fisher is looking
for. Tho names of twolvo men
from this company havo been sent
in who aro good for 40 to 45, al
though, as high as 47 has been
made in recent practice.
Colonel McLean thinks that tho
two companies of regulars will
furnish from thirty to thirty-iivo
men for tho teum and that thoy
will rondor a good account of
themsolves; probably tho lower
figure will bo nearer tho mark.
Drum-major W. C. King is nn
othor suro member of tho team,
llo mndo n 47 tho othor day and
is a reliable shot.
Both Colonels McLean and
Fishor aro taking great interest in
tho match and if porsonnl encour
ngomont and plenty of opportu
nity for prnctico will nccomplish
anything tho mombors of tho Na
tional Guard of Hnwnii should
rondor n good nccouut of thom
solvos nt the butts on Saturday.

Mention has already been mndo
in theso columns of tho receipt by
Commissioner Marsdon of a quan
tity of seeds of tho Oregon, fir and
cedar, brought by Ed. Dokum of
Portland, and furnished by O. F.
Pilugor, an old resident of tho
islands. Mr. Piluger is n well
known botanist and naturalist,
and that his interest in Hawaii is
not spasmodic but continuous is
shown by tho following letter
received from him by a promi
nent business man in tho last
mail and given to tho Bulletin
for publication :
Portland, Oregon, January 22
1890. Dear Sir:
I was glad to seo that my trial
shipment of Oregon fir and cedar
treo seeds, which I forwarded by
Mr. E. Dokum to Messrs. H.
Hackfeld & Co. for gratuitous
distribution nt tho Islands, did
arrive thoro just in time when tho
topic of tho destruction of Hawai
ian forests and their preservation
woro being discussed.
These trees will grow admirably
well in certain localities of tho
Islands, whoro there is plouty of
moisture, or rather, whoro it rains
moro or less every day. Such
places aB tho Kalihi valley, Manoa
valley, and at Hilo, parts of Komi
and Hamakua nnd Hnnaloi valley,
etc., nro particularly well adapted
for thoir successful culture In
asmuch as tho frequent rainfall
at Uiose places is conducive to
their growth, it will eventually bo
followed by their rapid propaga
tion into "fine forests.
Mr. Marsden, your Commis
sioner of Agriculture, probably
got tho seed turned over to him by
II. Hnckfold & Co. for distribu
tion in dift'oront parts of tho Isl
ands. I shall bo pleased to hoar from
Mr.Marsdon in regard thoroto, and
if my efforts havo found favor at
tho Islands, I will, with pleasure,
in tho near futuro, forward an
other lot of Oregon tree-seeds to
Commissioner Marsdon for freo
and gratuitous distribution thero,
nnd consisting of tho yellow Doug
las fir, tho Alpino hemlock fir,
silvor fir. Port Oxford cedar, red
cedar of Oregon, AVestorn hemlock
fir, sugar pine, spruce, whito pino,
nut pino, notaly or dog-wood,
Oiegon olonndorj silver, gold,
whito and nobilis cypresses,.
Oregon cedar, Libocedrus Doo
currons, cedar Chnmnocyparis
Nutkaonsis; Pinus: Albicnlis,
Contorla, Murraynua, Pondorosa,

Vacciuium Ovatuih.
Whichever troos of this assort
ment provo to thrivo best nt tho
Islands and at 'tlio localities men
tioned, can readily bo ascertained
thereafter, and of such thnt do
well there, their propngution can
lnrgoly bo increased.
During my long residonco at
tho Islands, I became convinced
that many of theso spocios of trees
will unquestionably grow thoro,
provided, thoy aro planted atsuch
localities as to whoro thero is an
abuudanco of rain.
As a naturalist, I have collected,
groat vnriotios of treosoods of this
Northwest const, nnd shnll bo too
