IN AUGUST
Associated Press Cable. to the Star
NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Arrangements have been made be
tween the representative of Sir Thomas Lipton and the cup com
mittee of the New York Yacht Club, by which it is agtced to hold
the races for the America Cup in August next. The keel of a
yacht which is to compete with the Columbia and the Constitu
tion for the honor of defending the cup, was laid only a short
time ago. This yacht like the other two, was designed by Ned
HerreshofT, the celebrated yacht builder of Bristol, Rhode Island.

....vRUSSIAANGRY
-Associated Press Cable to the Star,
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 6. Great Britain has protested
against Russian warships passing the Dardanelles in violation of
International treaties. She demands that the permission recently
' granted by the Sublime Porte shall be revoked. If it is not Great
Britain insists that she shall be granted similar privileges. It is
feared that the other Powers will follow the example of Great
Britain. Russia is very much irritated at the position taken by
Great Britain.
It has been one of the objects of Russian diplomacy and arms
for- years to secure free access for Russian men-of-war to the
Mediterranean through the Straits of Dardanelles, but the rest
of Europe in its policy of maintaining the Ottoman. Empire as
a bulkwark against Russia, has opposed this policyboth by arms
and by diplomacy. That Turkey should have give.ijRussia, her
supposed hereditary enemy, permission for her warslr'ps to pass
the Dardanelles, may therefore well be expected to aVouse pro
test from Great Britain. i
ALCOHOL IN
DRUG STORES AND SODA FOUN
, TAIN PRIVILEGE OP USING IT
TO 'FLIAVOR IS WITHDRAWN.
X.ocal soda water fountain men and
drug stores which sell drinks will re
ceive notice from Internal Revenue Col
lector Chamberlain with a few days
that they must cease flavoring their
concoctions with anything containing
alcohol, or else pay the internal re
venue license of $25 for selling liquor.
A treasury department circular re
ceived by the last mall contains an or
der to collectors to give such notice.
The new order was made specially to
cover the cases of dealers who sell alcohol-containing
temperance drinks in
some of the large Eastern cities. It is
quqite the thing in some of these places
for ladles and others to get fairly strong
mixtures in these places. Collector
Chamberlain says that he does not
think i here is anything of the kind go
ing on here, but the order applies nev
ertheless. The circular says:
"An examination of facts in cases
which this office has recently had un
der consideration leads to the conclu
sion that a more stringent ruling is
demanded in regard to the sale by
druggists and others of beverages call
ed 'claret soda,' and other drinks sold
at soda fountains containing small
proportions of distilled spirits or wine
or compounds thereof.
"Eachcollector is, therefore, directed
to give Immediate notice to druggists,
confectioners, and other persons con
cerned. In his district, that on and
after January 1, 1903, the special tax of
, a retail liquor dealer Is required to
be paid by every person who sells or
offers for sale any soda-water drinks
or other "beverages to which is added
distilled spirits or wine (the fermented
juice of small fruit) or any compound
thereof.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan'. 6. Attorney General Knox has
addressed identical letters to Senator Hoar and Representative
Littlcfield, chairmen of the Senate and Plouse Committees on Ju
diciary respectively, suggesting legislation against corporations
giving or receiving advantages which enable discriminative prices
to be made. He especially urges such action against the com
mon carriers. The present laws are, he believes, insufficient. At
torney General Knox urges caution, however, in the development
of legislation which will correct the trust abuses. ' ,

HARRISBURG, Penn., Jan. 6. dovcrnor Stone's message to
the legislature of Pennsylvania, takes its tone and color, very
largely as was to be expected, from the existence of the anthracite
coal strike going on within that state. In his message he urges
upon the legislature the passage of an act making arbitration of
differences between employers and employes compulsory.

Sj IN POLICE COURT
I
The calendar In the police
court this morning looked quite
formidable. No less than 85
eases (were before Judge Wll
co;c for trial. The, calendar did
not Involve a very arduous
morning however for out of that
list only ten different offences
Were charged. The volume of
cases was due to the fact that
49 defendants were charged with
having been present where gam
hllng w'as conducted and 25 de
fendants were Japanese fisher
men who had been arrested o na
a charge of being a common
nuisance In that they had burn
ed lights at night on their Ash
ing boats at the entrance of the
men Who 'had been arrested on a
haribor. This Is, an effort to
make entrance to the harbor
safer at night.
There was only one drunk case
and one case for selling liquor
without a license. George Kaeo

were again charged with un

The above dispatch refers to a dele
gation of power to the Territorial exe
cutive bv the State department In the
matter of issuing passports fo Chinese
who are American citizens and desire
to travel In China or other countries.
As soon as' arrangements are completed
at Washington and here. It will be
possible for the local government to
Issue an American citizen's passports

The delegation of power Is an un
usual one, us the issuing of passports Is
a matter for the State department at
Washington. The delay and Inconve
nience Incident to securing such pass
ports from Washington, however,
caused so much trouble that the de
partment of Its own accord decided to
allow tho documents to bo Issued here.
"Sixty days or more wore required to
get a passport under the old system."
said Judge Robinson, who as one of
tho attorneys fo tho Chinese consul,
made applications for many such docu
ments. "Tho application was sent to
Washington und then tho state depart
ment sent papers here. The necessary
affidavits were sworn to and the papers

GEAR BY
HIS LONELY
ROBINSON IS TO PRESIDE AT THE FEBRUARY
TERM OF THE CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE GEAR IS
DESIGNATED TO HEAR CHAMBERS' AND PRO-
BATE MATTERS, AND SO WILL NOT PRESIDE
WHEN JAMES H.' BOYD'S TRIAL IS EXPECTED
TO COME UP.
Judge Robinson will preside at the next term of the First Cir
cuit, beginning on February 2, and not Judge Gear, as was gen
erally expected. This was decided this morning after a confer
ence of the judges. Gear will take the equity and probate mat
ters as he did last term, being the presiding judge at chambers
while the term leasts. The second judge is away at Waialua at
present, and has not yet signed the order appointing him to pre
side at chambers, but it is expected that he will sign it, and the
other two judges have already affixed their signatures and filed
the order."
Judge Gear holds that it is illegal for more than one judge of
the First Circuit Court to sit at once, and if he presided it would
mean that there could be only one judge hearing term matters
throughout the term. With Judge Robinson presiding Judge De.
Bolt call also sit, and by turning all probate matters over to Judge
Gear, the judges have arranged so that all three judges can be at
work. The order filed, signed by Judges De Bolt and Robinson,
with a blank space left for the signature of the second judge, is
as follows:
"It is hereby ordered that all equity, probate and other cham
bers matters be and the same arc hereby assigned and transferred
to the Hon. Geo. D. Gear, Second Judge of this Court, for hear
ing and determination or other disposition thereof, for and during
the February, A. D. 1903, term of this Court, or any extension
thereof, and that the said Hon.- Geo. D. Gear, Second Judge as
aforesaid, be and he is hereby selected and designated as the pre
siding Judge at Chambers in this Court for and during the term
aforesaid." J

IMPORTANT APPEAL.
The Supreme Court today took up one of the most important
questions raised before it for some time, being the matter of tiic
legality of sessions of more than one judge of the First Circuit
Court at once, in the case of Henry Smith vs. the Hamakua Mill
Company. For several terms there have been two judges on tnc
bench holding court at the same time, and if the Supreme Court
should hold that such sessions of court arc illegal a large number
of trials, both civil and criminal, would be invalidated.
