S ORGANIZED THE “SUN HEADS” ASEtr SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT THE KING'S PARTY. Elabes ot BY HORACE WRIGHT. HONOLULU, Oct. 8. — Death has re- moved another prominent and inter: Hawailan character—Hon., James Keau. In early life Keau amassed considerble property as a taro planter and pol-maker. He was active, intelligent and industri- ous, had a fair share of executive abil- ity, and, like so many of his race, was a fluent and forcible speaker. Having as- sisted in the organization of the Poola Soclety, he had considerable political in- fluence. This society of “sun-heads,” so- called through their working in the &un hatle: is composed principally of the longshoremen, stévedores and other man- ual laborers. quaint garb of imitation feather capes, holds the ropes and draws the funeral hearse of royalty or very distinguished or much-beloved citizens. This special influence made him quite a prominent leader among his people, who first sent him to the Legislature some twenty years ago. He served them faith- fully, but it was in 1886 that his power over the people stood out most prom- inently. This was the election im which the final stand was made by the King Kalakaua party against the missionary element. It was before the day of the Australian. ballot system, and_ the voting tickets were but little bits of col ored pasteboard. Bach party fought its hardest. The King voted ‘his soldiers in uniform, and the missiona element had bogus dollars with beehives on them, cashable at a certain store for goods on certain conditions. Gin flowed like water. luaus were abundant. Each side_counterfeited the other's ballots. The King's party bought up and gathered in the hogus dol- lars, and bribery was triumphant. Keau brought his party through victo- riously, and_F. H. Hayselden, John Baker K. Lillkani and Kean defeat- ma and Walter Murray Gibs re- ined_Premier in: spite of the Carter- tle-Waterhouse-Dole combination. The ed their opponents by a handsome Jori result of this election, which nearly end- ed in a riot, was the overthrow of Mr. Gibson in 1857 and the limitation of the powers of the King by the new constitu- tion. After the downfall Keau left the {slands for Tonga, but, Hawaiian like, he took no necessary precautions for the maj agement of his large estate, and on h return, as a _consequence, about two he found that his estate had Vanished and he was but a poor man. His funeral was attended by a very large gathering of Hawalians UT FE CO | sas volunteers is Ferguson, priva and scout. According to the stori () told by members of the South Dakota % soldlers upon their return to this clty ) from Manila, Ferguson fs entitled to a { very large share of the glory of the ¥ famous exploit accomplished by the () Kansans of crossing a swift and unford- % able river in Luzon under the leadership ) of the Intrepid Colonel (now Geperah 4 Funston. When the Kansas Regiment X came to the river they found that the () bridge had been nearly destroyed and x that it was seemingly sure death to ) venture upon it. AN the roadway of the { structure had been torn up by the Fili- ¥ pinos and all that remained of the super- (/ structure consisted of the narrow iron % beams on either side, to which the floor- ) ing or roadway had originally been bolted. ¢ TUpon the farther side of the river the ¥ Filipinos were concealed, and occupied /) such a strong position that the dead % fire of their guns could sweep the bridge | | ¥ clear of any person who tried to walk |/ across. The Fillpinos evidently did not ¥ anticipate the tactics of Ferguson. Strip- | /) ping himself, that his motions might be unimpeded and that he might have some | ¥ chance to escape by swimming if he (/ shouid fall into the river, Ferguson took % a rope and crawled carefully out upon the | () side of the bridge farthest from the Fili- { pinos. His progress was slow and the * bullets rattled dangerously near him, but ¢ he m ss and actually X escaped the notice of the Filipinos when he managed the affair. He was able then X to help his comrades over by the use of x| (/ the rope he had carried, they using rafts, 0 ¢ which they pulled over by the rope. This * ¥ story differs from the story that came () in the dispatches to some extent, ¢ ¥ but it is derived from the testimony of eye-witnesses of the whole occurrence. » The South Dakotans said that Ferguson performed the most daring act of the Filipino war. R e e e that it was scemingly under control. The fire is burning steadily toward Loma Prieta, but it is difficult to get exact word, as that section is remote from communi- cation. What word goes out will probably reach Watsonville first. Up to 12 o'clock to-day no additional damage since iast night had occurred in the territory near Wrights, | The fire has spread north toward the great basin section. Much timber has been damaged. and If the fire gets a thorough hold in the underbrush in the great basin valuable commercial timber to a vast amount may go. There is no alarm at Los Gatos, as it | would be almost impossible for the fire to reach that place, no matter how much it might spread. Lumber men here who own | redwood forests in and near the great | basin are not alarmed. but so far to-day | no additional word has been received since | yesterday afternoon. This Is construed to mean that the watchers have not found it necessary to go out to telephone. While some of the estimates of loss run | way up to half a million dollars, many | persons hold that this s too great, since | most of the section burned over was | largely mountain brush. But startling | word of further spread and destruction of | redwood timber may come at any time If | a gale springs up.
