The new steamer Keelung-mnru
ordered from England by tho
Osaka Shosen Kaisha, having
boen completed, left London for
Japan on the 15th inst.
During the half year ended tho
31st of December last the Omi
Hemp Spinning Company made
a not profit of 41,938 yen and a
dividend at tho rate of 16 per
cent, per annum has been de
clared. About one o'clock on tho morn
ing of the 14th inst. a terribln
noiso" like that heard at the time
of tho seismic wavo last year was
heard twice at Bendni. It was
ascertained that Mount Zootoge
had broken into eruption but
whether there were personal
casualties is not known as yet.
A notification has been Jssucd
by Count Matsukata suspending
the execution of capital punish
ment for fifteou days commencing
on tho 12th inst. and on the day
of the late Empress Dowager's
fuucrnl. All tho prisoners in
gaol throughout the county will
be released from labor for five
days.
Of 211,993,993 yon paid by
China to Japan, Htatos a Japanese

It is told by a Japanese paper
that tho Into Empress Dowager
was vaccinated with some reluct
anco on the 30th ult, on the advico
of her medical attendants on ao
count of her projected journey to
Kyoto as small pox is prevalent
in some parts of the country. The
vaucinatiou developed good results,
but n few days later Iter Majesty

been sentenced to certain terms of
imprisonment a general commuta
tion of one-fifth of their terms will

Power to tlraut Lleeneea,
In tho enso of D. Lualnalei,
tried boforo a native jury yostor
dny in tho Circuit Court on a
charge of lorcejiy in tho secoud
degree, the defendant was ad
quitted by 9 to 3. Tho jury wbb
polled by order of Judge Carter
and afterwards discharged from
further Bttondanco at the present
term.
Tho case of KaimioU Gray and
Kahuno vs. Pila Knpule and rfoo
mana, an notion in ejectment,
commenced before Judge Perry
and a native jury yostorday after
noon, was continued today.
Tho case was still on trial at 1
o'clock this afternoon.
In tho Circuit Court this morn
ing Jndgo Carter decided the Di
mond contempt matter bv dismiss
ing tho proceedings on tho ground
that the allegations made in plain
tiffs affidavit and complaint aro
not sustained by the proof.
The Supreme Court in a long
derision written by the Chief
Justice, E. P. Dolo sitting in the
place of Justice Whiting, disqun
lifted, has decided the appeal in
tho caBe of Madame Edmii G. V.
Trousseau vs. Rruco Cartwright
and H. b. Mclntyre, executors of
tho will of G. P. Trousseau, do
ceased, on exceptions from tho
Circuit Court. Tho points decid
ed are:
Though the defendants admitted
that a will had been admitted to
probate and that they were tho
executors of the testator, it was
proper to allow tho plaintiff to
introduce the will, as it
was a Btateineut by tho testator of
his financial condition uiuutetial
fact m itjimp
T!r older of proof is largely in
tho discretion of tho party offer
ing the evidence.
The competency ol nn expert
in n foreign lnngunge is n matter
within tho discretion of the
Court.
A written agreement becomes
ovideuco on proof of itH oxecutiou
by the party whoa legal repre
sentatives aro sought to bo charg
ed. A witness uhotostiGes toad
mission-) of a party to u'n agreo
rnont may stato tho length nnd
character of his acquaintance
with said party.
A letter of tho testator remitting
a payment in pursuance of tho
agreement in question is evidonco
tending to show his admission of
his obligation thereunder.
A foreign cod of law may be
introduced as a whole nnd there
after specifio portions of it appli
cable pointed out.
Admissions of tho testator con
firming expressions in the agree
ment as to his rolatious with the
othor party to the ngroouiont nre
competent ovideuco.
Oral admissions by a part- to
nn agreement as to its existence
and effect aro competent evidonco,
without introducing tho agree
ment, as to whnt a party admits
agniust himself may reasonably
bo taken J6 be true.
It was sufficient for this case
that by Hawaiian law a separated
wife could mako an agreement
with her husbaud.
Tho exceptions aro ovorruled,
A. S. Hartwell for plaintiff; 0.
Brown and L. A. Diokoy for de
fondants. In the matter of tho application
of Tai Koe for n writ of manda
mus to be directed to the Minister
of tho Interior requiring him to
issue to tlio said Tai Keo a licenso
for a lodging house to bo conduct
ed on the corner of Beretania and
Pensacola streets, Judge Perry has
refused to grant tho writ, holding
that tho Minister is vested by law
with discretionary power in tho
matter of tho issuanoo of lodging
house licenses, and has dismissed
ho petition with costs.
In the case of Ed ma G. V. Trous
seau vh. Bruce Cartwright nnd H.
E. Mclntyre, executors, otc, plain
tiff's remittitur of fivo thousand
francs nnd interest thereon from
January 1, 1694, tho samo boing

It is only lately that tho world
was informed that Edison's gon
ius mndo it possiblo to throw an
oxact picture of moviug scenes
upon a screen. Honolulu people
saw it done last night. Thoy saw
tho Empire State express train
rolling mto tho depot at Albany,
N. Y., mon walking on the plat
form, tho crossing bars riso to al
low vehicles to pass, and a hack
taking the opportunity to cross
the track. Then tliero waa tho
immonse railroad ferry boat "Chi
cago" (looking at New York, with
tugboats rushing past, tho foam
from propel I era and smoko from
funnols being clearly dofinod.
The great MoKinley election cam
paign parade in Now York, a bull
fight in Spain and a run of the
firo brigade in New York were
other living scenes displayed as
real as life. It was lifo taken by
tho snapshotsof photography, and
reproduced by oleotrio mechanism.
Iu tho fire department scono a
span of majestic horses attached
to the ongino looked, soemingly,
right over the heads of Silva's or
chestra. Thoy tossed their heads
and switched thoir tails, while tho
hose sent jots nnd sprays against
tho burning building.
It was tho most wonderful
thing ever seen in Honolulu.

Editor Bulletin: Iu tho mat
ter of tho now Central Firo
Station, would it not have been in
kooping with wisdom and pru
dence if the Cabinot Ministers
had more fully considered tho
pros and cons boforo placing on
record the awarding of a contrnot
whioh gives $1945 more to a con
tractor whoso own bid is consider
ably larger than four othor con
tractors who hava as good a
record as any contractors in this
city. Tho S1945 which tho
taxpayers will bavo to pay
is not givon for a bettor quality of
work to be done in stone, brioks,
carpentering, paiutiug, plastering,
or plumbing; this large sum of
mouoy is given for tho stono as it
now lies in tho quarry.
Now would it not bavo been
more advantageous to tho tax
payers if tho Ministers had select
ed the stone from the government
quarry and saved (ho sum of
$1945 by so doing, thon all this
absurd talk about a "bolter quality
of .tone" would never bave boon
beard. Tho amount of stono re
quired from nny quarry to build
tho new Contral Fire Station is a
pieco25 feot long, 25 foot wido and
25 feet deep, and it ia for this
pieco that the tax-payera have to
pay 81945, a piece of stono whioh
can bo found in many quarries
within a milo or two from tho Bite
of the Firo Station and whioh would
cost in its native stato less than
ono hundred dollars.

From Honolulu to Yokohama
over a courso of 3513 knots, tho
run was mado in 10 days, 9 hours

record for the distance sailed, but
the China has mado it over a
shorter course in less time.
From Kobe to Nngusaki tho
vessel's time was 25 hours and 25
minutes, breaking all records.
Tho previous record from
Shanghai to Hongkong was also
smashed by n trip of 2 days, 2
hours and 29 minutes.
The Dorio also took tbo record
between Shanghai and Nagasaki,
making the voyago in 1 day, 4

Honolulu, however, which is still
held by tho China, that vessel's
timo being 9 days 7 houn- 35 min

within 2 hours 5 minutes of doing

With fino weather on tho up trip

These nro days of oonsidernblo
anxiety and porplexity to all who
havo possessions orotner interests
in tho Republic of Hawaii, and it
is timo that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding ou several
important issues. Tho prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, nud our
destiny cannot bo forotold with
certainty. Thero aro thoBe, also,
who still fondly oliug to tho hopo
of d roturn to tho old order of

look appears farmoro hazy than
that of Annexntiou even to tha

the midst of all this uncertainty
thero is solaco in tho fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
