Lindon tho champion ship rope dance? of Australia aad ono of the Moore-Roberts Oo. met with hearty npplauso for the wonderful work bo did. Post and Marion were as fuuny and entertaining as ovor and kept the audieuce in screams of laugh er during their turn. The lat boat of the evening between Martin Danny, and James Picket was good whilu it lasted but ouly (wo rounds hardly gave tho mon a ohunco to show whtt thoy could do.

INSPECTOR SHOREY REPORTS Tells About Catsups and Beers Sold in the City. Salicylic Acid and Injurious Effects Other Acids Found In Food Attorney General Will Prohibit Sale of Articles Named. Attorney Qoneral Cooper vory kindly furnished a Bulletin re porter this forenoon, with a copy of the following letter irom Food Inspector E. 0. Shorey in wbioh is named certain tomato catsups and beers that bavo boon found to contain salioylio acid: Honolulu, II. I., Sept. 1, 1899. Hon. H. E. CoorEB, President Board of Health. Sin: I bpg to submit herewith a report of tho presence of sali cylic acid in some foods and drink sold here, notably tomato catsup and beer. In connotation tuorowitu, X wisti to draw attentiou to the fact that tho use of salicylic acid as a pre servative in food or drink is pro hibited in many countries -France, Germany and muuy of the States of the Uuion. A commission appointed by tho French Government to investigate this matter reported that the con tinued use of food or drink, con taining salicylic acid in any quan tity, however small, was injurious to health. Speaking generally I think the uso of foed preset vativos should bo looked upon with suspicion. It enables the manufacture! to cover up careless methods aud in ferior mulerial and iu the case of such articles as tomato catsup the tnnuufacturur, by the use of pre servatives, is nolo t incorporate in it tho refuse and culls from canning factories, even when in a state of semi-decay. The detection of the preaenco of salioylio acid is for tlm cbomist, au easy matter but the determina tion of tbo exaot amount is almost an impossibility aud this is au argument in favor of prohibiting its uso altogether. I think no chemist would swear to a difference of .05 pprcent and if tho limit were sot by law theio wonld always be a chance for a quibble ovor tho amount. Tho brands of tomato catsup men ioned include, so far as I kuow, all sold hero. It is possi ble, of course, that Borne have es caped my notice. The amounts of salioylio acid given aro relative, rather than ab solute. Formalin and benznio acid wbioh are present in somo brands, aro generally considered less harmful than salioylio acid. Many of the samplos examined aro colored with aniline dyes nnd somo contain very littlo tomato but somo other vegetable matter, probably pumpkin or squash, but the investigation along these linos is not complete. The samples of beer examined do uot inclulo all nnU luro aud thoy havo been examined for sali oylio acid duly. Respectfully submitted, Signed: t Edmund 0. Shorey, Food Commissioner and Analyst.

No mora, wilt thoy be forced to march to .work in tho early morning under tbo strict survoillanuo of orison guards but will do about as they." ple'aso, free to choose what evervooatiou thoy may see fit to obooie. Tho Qalioiaus arrived back at the prisdn at 12 o'clock noon as is usual on Saturday. They thou went out Into the back yaul and washed thoir fao-s and hands iu preparation for the midday meal. Nothing' bad yot beou said of tho L'ood news in storo for thorn. Whou they had liiiinliing washing thoy weresnmmoneil by Jailor Hen ry who had them drawn up in line in front of tho prison.

D. 1899, at Houolu u, leland of Oahu, Hawaiian la amlx, Signod: W. L. Wilcox, District Magistrate of Honolulu, Island of Oahu, Hawaiian I-ilands. Thoro was a murmur of approv al aud then thu men were told thoy wero frou to go forth. Thoy went back to cells where ihoy had epout many weary hours and came forth a little later with all the belonging they had taku to jail with them. No longerwero thoy clad iu pri-iou garb but wore the clothes of free men. Thus onds a chapter in the his tory of contract itbr iu these Islands that has been tho subject of much controversy over since tho troubles with the Oaliuiaus on tho Oahu plantation first began and the public will no doubt be glad to know thaftha whole thing really is ended. It was this morning that At torney Qeueral Cooper received from E. Suhr, secretary of the Oahu Plaulntion Company, a let tor requesting tho Qoverumont to freo the Galiciun laborers. As is usual with Mr. Oooper hu sot to work at onco aud mado all the arrangements for the roleaso Seen about tbo matter this'moruiug the Attoruoy Uuuoral saul: "On August 31 1 rooeived from tho secretary of tho Oabu Sugar Company a letter in wbioh he stated that tho plantation peoplo wonld bavo no objection to the roloaso of tbo Galioians if the Qovernmont should sea tit to take such a Btop. The matter was con sidered in Executive Ooanoil aud the Government expressed itself as being not satisfied with the communication as a basis upon wbioh to work. This was made plain to tho plantation people through letter. "Tbo lettor I recoived from Mr. Suhr this morning is another pro position. luere is contained tborcin an unqualified requost that tbo Galiciaus be released from custody. Uuder suob circumstan ces thoro is only ono thing to do. Since the master surrenders the servant ho is a free man nnd the govornmont can order tho roloase of the men. "Tho government is now re leased from all furlhor responsi bility iu tbo matter. You can readily boo that thore was pre vious to this forenoon, no good basis upon which tho covornmont could work. Tho only people who can act in suob a matter is tho plantation You have alroady published this fact in your paper." Soon after this conversation the attorney goueral wont to the pnlico station, showed Judgo Wilcox Mr. Hiihr's lettor. had a list of the names of tho Galioians ftud tho order of tho court written out and thou gavo tho papor to tho district magistrate to sign. Deputy Marshal Ohilliugwortb, acting for Marshal Brown in his absenco, was thon given the order and thon he, together with tbo attorney general wont over to Oahu jail. Thoro tho order was given to jailor Hoary who later, released tbo mou from custody. Although there aro forty-two names in tho list given above, but thirty-six wero actually re leased. The other six aro ac counted for as follows: Jacob Tofer, released upon tho payment by Babbi Lovi of tho amount of money due tho plan tation from him. Peter Pendras, roloaed by bis furnishing the amount of money due tbo plantation. Edward Feldman. Sobastion Solarz and Julnlor Storou, releas ed promising to return to work on the plantation. Iguacy Storon, roloasod to be sent to the hospital by order of Consul H. Hackfeld. In spoakiuu of tho Galioians Jailor Henry stated that they had proven an extremely good set of workers but never for one raomont did thoy relax their stubbornness in tbo matter of refusing to return to tho plantation. Only tbioo out of tho whole forty-two havo con sented to do this. M. P. Robins m. one of tbo Di rectors iu tho Oahu Sugar C, was asked this afternoon in regard to tho Galioians iroed to-dav. "You raaysay,"flnjd Mr, Robin son, "that tho first action tkn was a raoetini: of tho Directors of tho Oahu 8ugar Co. Tho prnpo sition of freeing tho Galiciaus from Oabu jail was roferred to the Trustees of tho Plauters' Labor aiid Supply Co., as the Directors did not wish to act as an individ ual body. Tho Company sent book a reply saying that this would bo a good move to make. Then came more moetingB of tho Directors. The remainder of that part of tho story you alroady know. "Yob, tbo plantation will lose the monoy advanced for tho ex- i peusee of tbo Galioians, a sum in tho neighborhood of 5,000. No, wo havo not been reimburse! by anyone Tbo wholo thing has como about through the preesuro of public sontimont. "No contracts have been or will bocancolled.The Oabu Sugar Com pany simply washes its hands of the whole matter. If any of tho laborers wish to return to work they may but must do so uuder their contracts. Minister of Interior King said this forenoon: "Tho freeing of tho Galioians I belirvo to bo a bad precedont. According to what has been done, the samo thing can happen when it is a question of Ohtucso. Japanoso or contract laborors of any otbor na tionalities." Iriimli aatlclnni From Jl. William H. Marshall, tho editor of tho Volcano, was on band at tho Oabu Jail at about 1 o'clock this afternoon when tho 30 Gali oians went forth freo.
