The Planter, Captain Chase, arrived In port from San Francisco this morn Inn after a pleasant trip of twenty-two tas. bringing a full cargo of general i erchandlsc, Including a largo quan ta) of flour. Notwithstanding the fact that tho S.IIors" Union of the Pacific has con t acted with tho Merchants' Associa tion or San Tranclsco to supply men 'o ships at $35 per month, when tlio l'lunfer was ready to sail from the Coast for Honolulu ine Union attempt cd to hold the vessel up by demanding $b per month for every man required a hoard the Planter. The Union thought It had Captain ChascVln a tight place. The Planter v as loaded and ready for sea, had leaied at the custom house and wqb anxious to get away, when the skipper tiiutid that he could not get a slnglo I -.an from the Sailors' Union unless he agreed to pay them $5 more a month Irnn the contract with the Merchants' association called for. Captain Chase, however, politely In v'ted the Sailors' Union to take them elves to realms celebrated for their t.-oplcnl charms. Tho skipper thereupon started out along the beach on his own account end succeeded In drumming up n crew of colored gentlemen of African do se, nt. The dark sailors were all no gines o( the West Indies with the ex eeptlon of two white men and two Vlr 5.!nla gentlemen who have seen service a. minstrels with the famous Hogan, ! well known In Honolulu tho un bleached American. Tho colored congregation was soon n beard and the Planter was soon nt a. kicking her heels defiantly nt tho vanquished runners of tho Sailors' t'rlon.

"Kvcry man in the fo'castlc was as happy as could ho all the way down from, tho Coast nnd v.-e have had singing nnd plenty of work every day."

In stead of old-time shanties being in dulged In when thcro woro ropes to 1 ,' pullud on nnd sails to bo handled, the rigging rattled with many a song, n fide famous by Hogan.

It will be remembered Hint this cairn In which Mr. Hendricks appenr-vl against Mr. Axtcll, created quite n I'urry In business circles as the In'ler has always been known throughout Honolulu as a straightforward, hoi.tst u.rn. The enso came up before Judge V llrnx on the 15th Inst., nnd the do irndnnt nfter a long trial was acipit ted, thcro being not a whit of uvldurro to show that he hail done what ho Wfy. charged with doing. Mr. lleiuh'lc ts, the principal witness, wns vague in his answers nnd thought that such .mil stub n thing concerning the trans ic tinps of Mr. Hendricks was so. The Couit expressed tho opinion at (lie t'mp that thinking a thing wns so va3 nr. evidence. This wns tho character of alt the evidence adduced. After tho arrest bf Mr. Axtell ho fi'iind it necessary, to put up heivy ball, the newspapers came out u'l'h n mints of his an est, and he was kept from business for live days, ile sates that the loss to ti I in flnnncla'.ly tTirlng those Ave dnys, together wl.h li ok and the like, amounted to at b.isl $1500.

In the otherwise stilt wntches ot tho night, when tho Planter, with all sail set, glided smoothly nnd enBily thronga the moonlit water, tho watch or deck lounged forward of the main maBt, icady to answer tho call ot the irate at any moment, nnd unllmbered their lungs making tho night melodious Willi their catchy repertoire of songs beloved of their rnco and universally popular with tho. white folks. At tich time tho captain postponed slumber and llbtcncd entranced to everything from ragtlmo raptures' to old planta tion selections. "They aro just llko a lot of chll drcn," said Captain Chase, "and they ore splendid workers; tho best 1 ever had." Tho Planter was to havo brought Bomo chickens down on deck, but the chickens were left behind. It would never havo done to carry chickens on dick with a crow of colored gentle men. Chickens figured largely In tho songs of tho crew on tho voyago and it Is moro than probable that tho tooth st mo birds would also havo flgure.l In the fo'cnstlo mess, If thoy had beon aboard. Tho Planter Blghled the Olobe Navi gation Company's fast and furious lielghter Tamplco, heading for San !-"runclscn, and the United States Army transport Grant, bound for tho same port, on Sunday. Tho Tamplco had her noso doop In the brlno and was pushing along nt n "gicat" speed. Tho Planter saw tho Grant ovortnko tho Tamplco and Icavo nor far behind, goiffg at a "greater" speed.

(Spe cial) An Important decision hns been renelered by tho Interior Department lei the effect that Hie land laws of the Territory of Hawaii apply to the Isl ands regardless or United States laws. The history of theTcaso In which tho decision was rendered Is briefly as follows: An application was filed by James Walter Jones of Hawaii before the of ficers or the Territory for n right of vny to construct reservoirs, dams. Ir rigation ditches, canals, etc for tho purpose of erecting Irrigating works; Mid also that he might be allowed tho rnvllege of Hiking from tho public lands, rock. soil, nnd trees, with which te construct, mnintnln, and operate irrigating works. The Governor of the Territory Bent the application and other papers to the Secretary of tho Interior, rerom riendlng that the application be grant el ami asking that the Secretary ap P'ove the- grunting of the application. The papers came regularly beforo tho wcivtnry. nnd ho referred them to tho Arslstnnt Attorney General for the In terior Department for ait opinion, etc. The Assistant Attorney General's opin ion, given to the Secretary on Satur day last, nnd approved by the Sccre trry. holds thai the public lands Irws if the United States do not apply to the Territory of Hawaii; that under the public- land laws of tho Islands ex Irtlng at tho time of annexation, which laws have been continued In forco by an Act of Congress, and modified to meet existing new conditions, tho of ficers of the Territory havo tho right t. grant easement over tho public Lulls of the Territory, for tho purpose of constructing, maintaining and oper ating elnrns, ditches, reservoirs, etc., ni'cessary for tho Impounding and delivery or wnter fnr Irrigating pur lores: and thut such officers also havo 1 He tight to authorize tho grantees of such easement to tnko from tho lands subject to the- easement nnd adjacent thereto, soli, rock, and timber, for tho construction, maintenance, nnd opera tion of said works. Assistant Secretary Ryan, In Sep tember, 1901, refused a similar appli cation.
