The Dreadful Effects of a
Drink in Chinatown.

QUICK DEATH LTJBKED IN THE CUP.
Chinamen Snrcimb to the Effects
nfWhat Ik Supposed to be
The Jlakerof the Drink the
rirnt to Die Post Mortem Ueld.
Chang Leong, dead.
C. Jock Kim, dead.
Chovii iee, dead.
C. Apai, recovered.
Chang Wui, recovered.
Chung Citing, recovered.
Chung Chong, recovered.
The above if the result of the efforts
of a newly arrived Chinaman to make
a cooling drink for feix of his countrymen.
As lie himself was the first one
to die, it is almost a certainty that the
affair was entirely accidental.
Chang Leong was the name of the
man who did the poisoning. About
2:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a
number of celestials were gathered in
theKwoucHip Lung store on Hotel
street. The day was a hot one, and
Leong, who has only been in this
country far three weeks, said tli3t he
had a herb from which he could make
a drink that would cool their blood.
In this latter effort he succeeded admirably,
a the sequel showed, for he
effectually cooled the blood of three
men, and nearly killed four more.
Within an hour after Leong had
made and drank his preparation, he
was dead. In the meantime the others
were in great agony. A Chinese doctor
had been called, but did no good
to the buffering men. Dr. F. L.
Miner was sent for and arrived
on the scene at 4:13 When he arrived
one of the men. Chang Leong, was
already dead. Another, C. Jock Kim,
died within fifteen minutes of the
doctor's arrival, in spite of all efforts
to save him. Still another, Chong
See, was nearly dead, and died later
at the hospital. All the others were
in various degrees of illness, but,
thanks to the attention they received,
they recovered and were nearly well
yesterday.
une man mat was taKen to tue
hospital was, strange to say, attacked,
soon after his arrival there, with all
the symptoms of active hydrophobia.
He foamed at the mouth and exhibited
other symptoms of that dread
disease. This, coupled with the fact
that the recovered men's description
of the herb used, and the symptoms
noticed on the poisoned men, points
strongly to thefact that the poison was
belladonna. A post mortem examination
was held on the body of one
of the men. The contents of the
stomach will be analyzed today.
At the Kwong Hip Lung store the
Chinamen m charge were very reticent
in speaking of the matter. They
allege that none of the men had
been in the city for more than
three weeks, and that they had
no connection whatever with the
establishment, but were only allowed
to make the deadly tea there as a
matter of accommodation. The first
part of this story is disproved by the
fact that one of the men who recovered,
C. Apoi, is a half Hawaiian and
a brother in-law of a clerk in the
Drug Company's store. Several
of the others are also said to be old
residents. Two of them, at least, are
believed to be employes of the store at
which the poUouiug occurred.
One of the Chinamen said that the
drink was called, in Cninese, feechic,
and was a very good medicine if used
in the right way.
An eye witness to the affair of Saturday
said that the man who had
done" the cooking had taken the wrong
herbs by mistake. At any rate, the
Chinese in that vicinity will be very
careful hereafter how they imbibe
strange drinks.
After Dr. Miner arrived, and just
after the second man had died, the
Chinamen gathered around and would
not believe that he was dead. They
wanted to try some of their Chinese
remedies and insisted on trying to
make him swallow some sheep's
blood, which they claimed would resuscitate
him. Before they could get
it, however, it became evident, even
to them, that the man had passed beyond
human aid.
Sunday in Australia.
"Sunday in most of the capitals of
the Australian Provinces is not; an
enlivening day," observes a writer
in London Figaro. "Concert and
theatrical entertainments are con
trary to the law, hotels are rigorous
ly closed as far as the general public
is concerned, and if a publican bo
caught dispeuEiiig liquor he is heavily
fined. S eimers aod trains are
run only on enfferance, although the
shops are allowed to remain open.
In Melbourne, however, no shopkeeper
is allowed to sell even a bottle
of ginger beer or a dozen of
apples."

HAWAIIAN Gr-VZETTE: TUESDAY, APEIL 17, 1S94.
PEARL HARBOR.
STr. Girvin Eztolls Its Advantages
as a Harbor.
Mit. Editor: On the yacht
Hawaii, with good company and a
generous hamper of provisions, a
week ago I visited Pearl lochs for
the first time. It was a pleasant
day and although the wind was
light we ran down very quickly.
The sea being calm we had a good
opportunity to note the entrance to
the lagoon through the coral reef
which is very well defined. At
Puuloa Point the mouth of the
harbor is quite narrow and deep,
and thereafter there is plenty of
water for the largest ships. Pearl
Harbor is one of the most beautiful
sheets of water on the Pacific
Coast. It is perfectly land-locked
and safe at all seasons. The rise
and fall of the tide is not over
eighteen inches and the calmness
of the water will eventually make
it : re?ort for those who
are fond of boating. If there was
such a sheet of water on the coast
of California it would be surrounded
with great hotels and
houses for tourists, who would explore
every nook in this lovely
tropical lagoon in steam launches.
The feasibility of constructing a
dry dock in one of the bights is
apparent. The irregular contour
of the periphery of the lapoon, together
with the fact that tbe whole
surroundings,clear to the beach,are
covered with dense tropical foliage
make this one of the most
sheets of water in the world.
The great depth of water close to
the shore will facilitate wharf-
building and the landing of heavy
merchandise or naval storts The
fact of there being innumerable
fresh-water springs surrounding the
lagcon. and artesian water available
almost everywhere in the vicinity,
quadruples the value of this
harbor as a site for a large city or
a coaling station for the navies of
the world. San Diego harbor has
been extolled as one of the deepest,
safest and most perfectly landlocked
of any on the coast, but it
is not the superior of Pearl Harbor.
It is only a matter of a short time
until the utility and beauty of this
magnificent sheet of calm water
will be appreciated. Years ago its
value was understood, and parties
hastened to buy up the surrounding
land as a speculation, and not
with intent to improve. J. heir
great grandchildren will probably
learn that the American Government
is very slow to pay exorbitant
prices for land. Should it
ever be induced to purchase any
but a small quantity the speculator
will have discovered that after de
ducting the commission paid to
lobbyists he will receive only a
tithe of his expectations. I have ,
seen coteries in San Diego bond '
lands endeavor to induce the Gov-'
eminent to buy them for military
and fortification uses at large
priceK They hold them still and i
are likely to do so. It would be '
much beiter to offer lands to the
Government at fair prices or at a
value fixed by appraisers regularly ,
selected. Jas. W. Girvin. .
REGISTRATION FIGURES.
Numbers and Nationalities of Coming
Voters.
The registration of voters in Hono
lulu for the election of delegates to the
coming Constitutional Convention
Las been under way for three weeks',
with the following result:
First Week 319
Second "Week 303
Third Week 375
Total 997
Those voters are distributed among
the different districts a3 follows:
First District 203
Second District 214
Third District 317
Fourth District - 139
Fifth District 124
Total 097
Classified according to nativity there
are:

Hawaiian born (foreign) 84
Auiericau (U. S. A.) 278
British - 136
German 87
Portuguese 203
All others 65
Total 997
If this latter classification had been
by nationality or citizenship instead
of by place of birth, the American element
would have cut a considerably
larger figure on account of the large
proportion of British and German
boru residents who are naturalized
citizens of the United States.
The registration office will remain
open one week longer, closing on Saturday
evening next, April 21st
