ALOHA EOSTON.
Tho annexation club and the
people of Honolulu have decided
that the Boston cannot he allowed
to leave these shore3 without being
given a popular reception in keep
ing with the fact3 of history as
they have transpired here within
tho past year. Since the fall of the
monarchy both manners and cus
toms have been taking 0:1 a demo
cratic air in Hawaii, and the fact
that the American residents should
see fit to say "Aloha Boston" in
this manner is at least a patriotic
and semi-national tribute to the
brave men who were first 011 shore
and would be the last aboard in
case their presence was needed.
None appreciate the rank and file
of the Boston so much as the Amer
icans resident here whose lives
and property were protected by
them when they landed in last
January. Endorsed by their fel
low citizens and supported by the
American colony in Hawaii they
have made a record of which they
may bo hereafter proud and never
ashamed. Wc anticipate the
"aloha" to be given the Boston
will be no less than their
merits deserve or they have al
ready won from the American
colony and the Annexation club in
Hawaii. There is no uncertain
pound to tho Americans of Hawaii
today, and it is known that the
"aloha" to the Boston on next
Monday night will be a national as
well as an international expression
of opinion from the dominant poli
tical and moneyed power of the
country.
POLICE COUHT CASE.
Lawyer Magoon Talks mainly to
the Holonma Editor.
Mr. Editor : If I were not cer
tain that you would not permit
anything appearing in the Holo
mua to disgrace the columns of the
Advertiser, I should ask you to
republish an article appearing yes
terday in that excuse for a news
paper,entitled "An Apparent Injus
tice," which, pretending to attack
Magistrate Robertson, is really di
rected against myself. The com
plaint against the magistrate is
that he sentenced a New Hebrides
by the name of Jack to pay a fine
of $10 and f3 costs of court, for
using vulgar and profane language
last Sunday in one of the public
streets of Honolulu.
According to the uncontradicted
statements of the one witness (and
there were many others who could
have testified to the same effect)
the language used by the defend
ant was most revolting, aggravated
by brutally indecent conduct, in a
thickly populated portion of the
city. The maximum penalty
is if 20 fine, or imprisonment
one month at hard labor and it wa3
really a case that called for the
highest penalty. Although the
Holomua doe3 not stand quite as
high in my opinion a3 George
Washington, I had never suspected
that even its editor was quite so
depraved as to sanction such con
duct as Jack was guilty of by de
manding a reprimand.
My only surprise i3 that he did
not print the testimony, as it is, ac
cording to his admissions, about on
a par with his moral standard.
After this startling confession of
his, I am not surprised that he
should look with no little concern
at the ominous prospect. Hi3 out
raged feelings, however, did not
prompt him to offer his eervices to
defend poor Jack nor to open his
purse to a degree corresponding to
his injured feelings.
Our district magistrate has noth
ing to fear so long as he looks with no
signs of approbation upon offenders
against the peace and public mor
als. But the most mysterious part
of the article to me is that while I
did not ask the court to punish the
defendant severely, and certainly
did not display any heat or per
sonal feeling in the matter, I
should be attacked by H113 moral
ist editor of the Holomua, not hav
ing the distinguished honor of
knowing who he is, or who in
spired the article. The only solu
tion that I can give is that I have
either prosecuted him for a similar
offence, or that I have been obliged
in the regular course of business to
send the marshal after him with
an execution.

THE MILLION DOLLAR SUIT.
Spreckels Wiua On the Damages
Question, But Partition of
the Land is Allowed
bv the Court.
Macfarlane T.ohcs on a Technical Point,
III Claim for Damages In not
Proving au Ouster.
Elsewhere is published this
morning the full text of the deci
sion of tho supreme court on the
appeal of the million dollar suit,
the litigation over which has occu
pied the attention of the courts for
three years past. Both sides have
been represented by leading at
torneys of the city, and the legal
struggle has been a long and hard
fought one.
The decision is virtually a vic
tory for Spreckels, the main issue
in the suit being the question of
damages claimed by Macfarlane of
Spreckels, for the use and occupa
tion of some thousands of acres of
sugar land for six years past, and
which claim the decision sets aside
as no ouster has been proved. The
court allows, however, a parti
tion of this very valuable tract
of land, known as the Waikapu
commons, on which the Hawaiian
Commercial Company has very ex
tensive cane fields and valuable
improvements, and which land is
owned jointly by the sugar estates
represented by Mr. Spreckels and
Mr. Macfarlane.
It is said that the failure to prove
an ouster, on which the whole ques
tion of damages seems to hang,
was due to Mr. Macfarlane's man
ager omitting to pull down a fence,
or do some such act, to show ad
verse possession of the land fenced
and cultivated by Spreckels' com
pany. Commissioners will probably be
appointed by the court to make
the partition of the land at an early
day.
Hatch for plaintiff; Hartwell,
Carter, Thurston fc Frear for de
fendant. The sum of $42,000,000 in gold
has reached New York from Eu
rope during the past seven weeks ;
and this vast importation has of
course contributed largely to the
betterment of the financial situa
tion. "What do we care for
abroad?" asked an intelligent tariff
ite in the course of the debate on
the McKinley bill. The above fig
ures show how "abroad" has cared
for us during the worst of the
pinch.

8 A MOAN V1SIT0K.
RQ3ERT LOUIS STEVENSON
PAYS A VISIT TO HONO
LULU. lie Accord the " AdvertUer '
Interview on Affairs lu
Among the passengers by the
fteamer Mariposa yesterday for
Honolulu was Mr. Robert Louis
Stevenson, the famous author and
journalist of Samoa. He is accom
panied by Messrs. Graham Balfour
and A. S. GoolJ. A Samoan servant
is attendant upon the party. Mr.
Htevenson's presence here is owing to
a slight attack of fever and a desire
for a change of scene, and the benefits
of a sea vo3age. These induced him
to visit this city, where he is well
known, having made several previous
visits. He is pleasantly located at
Bella Vista cottage out at the popular
San Souci resort. Mr. Stevenson will
remain in Honolulu until the 2-Sth, re
turning home via the Alameda.
When a reporter of this paper called
to see Mr. Stevenson last evening,
that gentleman
had retired, but
he arose and re
ceivedthe news
paper man most
courteously and
cordially.
In reply to a
question regard
ing affairs in
Samoa, Mr. Ste
venson stated
that, pvprvthinc
was quiet there
sobeut l. btevessox. time, and would
continue so as long as an English war
vessel remained in the country. "When
he left Samoa two German and one
English men-of-war were stationed
there. In the event of the British ves
sel being recalled, Mr. Stevenson in
clined to the belief that war would
almost immediately follow. The Ger
man vessels were not either capable
of controlling or defeating the na
tives. They always acted in conjunc
tion with the British commander.
There is considerable discontent
among the Samoans, and a change of
dj-nasty would surely follow if war
was indulged in. The natives in the
southern portion of the islands are
actively engaged in warlike demon
trations at the present time. There
is every reason to believe, continued
Mr. Stevenson, that the British vessel
now there will soon leave; if such
Kroves to be true, war would inevita
Iy occur. What makes it probable
that the vessel would leave was the
fact that the ship had been in those
waters for a longer period than here
tofore. There are no American ves
sels in Samoa and haven't been for
two years. Regarding the workings
of the now famous tripartite treaty,
Mr. Stevenson said that what the peo
ple of Samoa most desired was the
withdrawal of the three powers and
let them govern themselves. Of
course, there would be internal dissen
sions, but such was of no great conse
quence. News Is expected to arrive by the
Alameda from the three powers in
regard to what disposition shall be
made concerning the deposed mon
arch Mataafa, who, with a number of
his high chiefs, is now confined on
one of the islands. It is not likely
that Mataafa would ever again
become king, but some other person
age would surely find favor with the
people as a sovereign leader. The
present king, Malietoa, is a most
unpopular ruler, and is only kept in
power through the ofllces of the
three powers. An interesting ex
position on Samoan affairs was
recounted by Mr. Stevenson, show
ing the habits and conditions of
the people.
He stated further that a mild type
of measles was epidemic in Samoa,
but no fatal results had followed.
Though the country was never visited
with such before, the people were
taking extraordinary good care of
themselves.
Of all the white persons resident in
the islands Mr. Stevenson is perhaps
better posted on Samoan affairs than
any one else. This being generally
conceded, his expressions, therefore,
can be relied on as being authentic.
Mr. Stevenson is at present engaged
on several new books and stories. He
does not contemplate a visit to the
United States for some time.
Like most all noted journalists Mr.
Stevenson is most gracious to news
paper reporters, and is available to
them at any hour of the day or night.
Besides having these good and
charitable qualities, he is a most
agreeable and obliging genteman.

'Philadelphia' was the only
event of interest to the people
last week. The warship is the
biggest vessel that has ever
entered the harbor, but in
importance it does not exceed
our list of enterprises in
introducing to the peo
ple of Honolulu the means
ot painting and generally
beautifying their homes at a
very slight cost. Painters who
have used other mixed paints
say that "Hendry's Ready
Mixed" excel them in every
particular. Ours will cover a
large surface and present a
liner finish than any other
sold here. It is made es
pecially for us by a San Fran
cisco firm and guaranteed to
contain more Japan and more
oxide of zinc than the average
ready mixed paint. People
who have watched the changes
made in the front of our store
havo noticed what a free
