Feud Among Bankers. —ae dozen mixed in a - free-for-all fight, that originated between two lawyers, was the scene wit- ‘ nessed yesterday morning in the judiclary buflding close to the doors of the Circuit Court. The principal com- batants were Hon. Cecil Brown, lawyer, Senator of the Territory and president of the First National Bank of Hawali, and J. Alfrea®i.:ccon, lawyer, owner of the Magoon biock and now under indictment | | by the Grand Jury for aiding in the es- | cape of ex-Treasurer Wright. Magoon is | ender $2000 bal. The two attorneys were in the upper corridor of the judiciary building when | Brown followed Magoon and led the at- | tack, which was promptly met by the | 1atter. Blow followed blow in quick suc- | cesrion, the Senator getting the worse of | it, according to eye-witnesses. Others | jeined the fray, Plumber Brown going to | the rescue of Lawyer Brown, while Law- | ver Lightfoot helped his partner, Lawyer | Magoon. Then Juror Ouderkirk took a | hand and was met by Referee Rawlins. | Lawyers Brown and Magoon touched | the floor, Magoon on top. When Lawyer | Brown arose it was seen that there was { blood on one side’of his face, where he | apparently had received a blow. | Mediators promptly interfered, peace was declared and the judiciary building soon settled down to its customary quietude. . | The trouble arose through the affairs | pany, a branch of™the First National | Bank of Hawail,. of which Cecil Brown is president. A meeting of stockholders of | the trust company was held last week, | Magoon being attorney for the majority. | | Brown as president ruled out some of | | their stock, recognizing on}y 1246 shares, | day’s mail and the Peru also carries a reccmmendation for the appointment of George R. Carter as his successor. Car- ter does not want the office, but would | } prefer to see Mark P. Robinson get the | place as he is a capable and well edu- cated Hawailan man of affairs. Carter, however, will undoubtedly be President Roosevelt's choice, the two men having Leen college chums. The Star says: “A_quiet litle boom of Frank B. Mc- Stocker for Governor has been going the rounds of Republicans in Honolulu and some of his friends say he may be strong- Jy backed for successor to Dole when the latter's term expires. In the same con- nection it is stated on good authority that the Governor has expressed himself as not wanting another term.” MeStocker was at one time Collector of Customs at Honolulu. He was the organ- izer of thé Citizens’ Guard in Honolulu in 1893 and is at present manager of the Olaa Plantation, on the island of Hawail. It is quite generally thought here that the organic act will be amended by rec- ommendation of the Senate commission which recently visited Hawaii so that a Governor may be appointed from the mainland. The act at present provides that the Governor shall be a citizen of Hawaii. The Republican Territorial Central Com- mittee has adopted resolutions, which will go forward to Washington, indorsing Sen- ator George R. Carter for the office of Becretary of the Territory, which is,va- cated by the resignation of Henry E. Cooper. . L e e i e i 3 e e e ol ashore. They were prodded by Venezue- lan soldiers, badly handled by the mob in the streets and finally imprisoned to- ether in one filthy room. The local au- thorities refused to apologize as demand- ed by the German commodore, disclaim- ing any responsibility for the outrage. They were thereupon given six hours to clear the forts of all soldiers, prisoners and others. A few persons were injured by jumping from the walls in their hurry to escape.

The strain upon him, both mentally and physically, since Congress convened and during the crisis {in Venezuelan affairs, has been very | great, and he felt the necessity for some | relief from these cares. In addition to those already mentioned, the only persons who accompanied the President were two | secret service officers.

PORT OF SPAIN, Dec. 20.—Many of the British warships are now distributed dlong the Venezuelan coast. The sloop Alert is blockading Carupano; the cruiser Indefatigable and the tender Columbine are off Guanta and Cumana. The cruiser Retribution is watching Caranero and the | éruiser Tribune is biockading La Guaira. The British sloop-of-war Fantome, which was sent to command the entrance to the Orinoco, is hard aground near Bar- rancas, on the left bank of that river, and 120 miles southwest of Trinidad. The Fantome left this port on December 9 to command the Orinoco and open it to for- eign vessels, in spite of President Cas- tro’s proclaimed blockade. No news was received of her until the advices came to- day of her stranding. Assistance ‘has been rendered-her, but up to the present time it has not been possible to float her. Steamers will leave with further assist- ance and if this fail the Fantome will re- main aground for some months, as the Otirioco River is falling fast. The German cruiser Vineta, with Com- modore Scheder on board, arrived here this: morning to consult with Vice Ad- miral . Douglas. She satled again at 4 o'clock this afternoon for an unknown destination. | the Red D Steamship The Government of Venezuela having reject- ed the demand which the Imperial Government communicated to it, the ports of Puerto Cabello and Maracaibo are hereby declared to be under blockade, beginning December 20. Ships under other than the Venezuelan fla er ast American ports before the publication of this decree, will receive a period of twenty days for salling ves- €ls and ten days for steamers to reach their destination. Saillng vessels from all other ports are allowed forty and steamers twenty days. Shipping under other than the Venezuelan flag lying in blockaded poris upon the publica- l[O;l of this decree are allowed fifteen days to sail.

COLOGNE, Dec. 20.—A dispatch .from Berlin to the Cologne Gazette, evidently of semi-official origin, in reiterating the desire of Germany and Great Britain to agree_to any solution, including arbitra- tion, "which satisfactorily meets their ciaims against Venezuela, lays stress on the friendly welcome Emperor William accorded to Embassador Tower yesterday as a sign of the complete confidence exist- ing between the German and the United States governments, which, the dispatch adds, is of special importance for the set- tlement of the dispute. Two_Schooners Seized. LA GUAIRA, Dec. 20.—The Trinidad schooners Mercedes and Imaculada, be- longing to a French subject, but flying the Venezuelan flag, tried. to leave this port to-day and were seized by the Brit- ish cruiser Tribune. A commission board- ed the Tribune and explained to her com- | mander that no notification of the block- age had been given. before the schooners cleared and asserted also that the cargo belonged to foreign subjects. The com- mander of the Tribune refused to release the schooners, saying that he was obeying orders. * o LI Steamship Caracas Sails.

The Secretary of War hads contracted with the Boston Steamship Company for the transportation only of the freights that the Government yishes to send to tke Philippine Islands from Puget Sound. These freights consist principally of lum- ber, grain and hay. Such is the substance of a telegram received yesterday by Fresident A. A. Watkins of the San Fran- cisco Board of Trade from Senator George C. Perkins. One sentence in the dispatch from Senafor Perkins reads as follows: “Transport service between San Fran- cisco and the Philippine Islands will not Le disturbed until Congress authorizes Secretary of War to contract with private steamship company for a term of years.” President Watkins ha% been particularly active in seeking to protect the interests of San Francisco in the transport matter from the beginning. He has personally communicated with the authorities at ‘Washington and with the California Con- gressional delegation and has secured much valuable information. When the news of the latest action of the Secretary of War in this matter was sent out to the coast in press dispatches he was par- ticular to take means to ascertain just what was comprehended in the decision cf the Secretary of War: PERTINENT QUESTION. He accordingly sent the following dis- patch to Senator Perkins: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 19, 1902. Hon., George C. Perkins, United States Sen- ate Chhmber, Washington, D, C.: Conflicting Dewspaper réports here as to Root’s intention Pacific transport service. Can you ascertain definitely if your good work has been effective? ‘Write me particulars as to status of affair A. A, WATKINS. An answer was recelved from Senator Perkins yesterday, which is as follows: WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20, 1902. A, A. Watkine, President Board of Trade, San’ Franciscs, Cal.: Contract awarded Bos ton Steamship Company is only for freight Government wishes send from Puget Sound, principally lumber, hay and grain. Transport service between San Francisco and Philippine Isiands Wil not be disturbed until Congress authorizes Secretary War 'to contract with private steamship company for a term of years, > GEORGE C. PERKINS. The understanding among business men of San Francisco is that the Bosten Steamship Company, -which is dominated by “Jim” Hill, the great rallroad ma, nate, has a monopely, under the contract; for the Government freighting business | between Puget Sound and the Philip- pines. - Inasmuch as there are few soldiers to be moved from the north and In the light of Senator Perkins' telegram, it ‘would appear that the passenger business is not to be disturbed at this port, at least for the present. There are merchants in San Francisco who do not think that the danger to San Francisco is by any means over and that Secretary Root practically leaves open questions by the course pur- sued. Traffic that moves from Puget Sound may or may not originate there, | but may come from Chicago'and the Mid- | military camp that has been established here. the facilities offered for sheltering tocps in large numbers, and, not least of the considerations, the climatic ad- vantages which San Francisco has for scldlers returning emaciated and ailing from the tropical climate of the Philip- pines, are supposed to be cogent reasons for \permanently centering the military passenger movement between the United States and the Philippines at San Fran- cisce. SECRETARY’S PLANS. There is a rumor that the Secretary of ‘War will now ask Congress for permis- sion to let contracts for a term of years, applying to the transportation of freights and passengers. This meets the objec- tion, of which news was given exclusive- ly in The Call, that was found by the transportation lines doing business at this port to the original offering for a contract that brought out no responses from San Francisco. President Winsor of the Boston Steam- ship Company fs represented in a press dispatch as saying that his company got practically what it was after and that the main purpose of his company was to de- velop a return freight business. RSP DEVIOUS WAYS OF THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK He Reads All Your Mail and Taboos Telephones and Elec- tricity. The Turk suspects everybody and every- thing, and no private act, no seclusion, s safe from his intrusion, says Outlook. Every telegram sent from the public of- fices is at once reported to the authori- tles. No one can safely send a letter by the Turkish post unless he is willing to have it opened and read, and take the chances of having it confiscated if the censor finds anything that can be twisted into an insult to Mohammedanism. As a result of this condition and the inability -of fcreigners residing in Turkey to com- municate with any certainty with their friends, some of the great European na- tions have established postoffices of their own in Turkish cities, in which they em- pley only Europeans, use ithelr own stamps and wateh their mailbags until they pass beyond the prying eyes of the Turks. In Salonica there are no fewer that five postoffices—British, Austrian, French, Servian and Turkish; in Constari- tinople six. If one wishes to be sure of his mafl he must inquire at four of them at least; and if he really wants to have his letters reach their destination he must send them through some postoffice other’ than the Turkish. For the reason that the authorities cannot be-sure of a complete knowledge of all the conversa- tion that might pass, the telephone has been excluded from the empire; and no Turkish city is electrically lighted be- cause, it is said, the officials discovered the word dynamo in the applications for the necessary contracts, and dynamo sug- gesting dynamite, the official Turk was peralyzed with fear. So all Turkey is still candle lighted, or at least lamp lighted. Whatever is Turkish in Turkey is sure to be out of order, disorganized, dirty; whatever is foreign is, by contrast, well kept. ————— Another Joy Added to Life.
