BACK AFTER LAEENCE W. ASIIFORD re turned ti Honolulu yesterday-after an absence of seven X.4 years, and he will now resume the practice of law, which was interrupted at the time ct the S3 revolution by his arrest, imprisonment and tiltimate banishment from the Islands by the Republic of Hawaii for participation in the revolution. Mr. Ashford, upon landing from the steamer yesterday, drove directly to the Ashford home on Beretania avenue, where he was seen by an Advertiser reporter last evening. In a short interview given the reporter in the presence of Mr.

Chans Kim, Lin Shen Chow, W. "Wong Wwai and other promineht young-Chinese, former friends of Mr. Ashford, the latter stated he was glad once more to walk upon Hawaiian soil. "Yes, I have been away Just a little over seven years," said he, "and. as you Jcnow, I was ban ished from Hawaii at the close of the revolution of 95.

I have been practicing law for the most part during my absence, and intend to resume it here again as soon as I have an opportunity to look around." "It is said that you have returned to take the leadership in Democratic politics, Mr. AJShford?" No," he replied. laughing at the ug- gestion, "no, I think not. But I am a Democrat." "Have you always been a Democrat?" "No, I was a Republican, but there was too much McKinley, too much Mark Hanna, too much Imperialism, too much expansion. So I became a Democrat, and will be identified with that party." "What about the Home RulersT "Well, I am practically a Home Ruler by sentiment.

By that I Qo not want to be understood as being what you people here call a Home Ruler." "What do you really interpret a Home Rule party to be?" "I believe it to mean," replied Mr, Ashford emphatically, "Hawaii for the Hawaiians that is, for all the people of these Islands, but principally for the Hawaiians first of all. That's my interpretation. However, as I sa.a before. I intend keeping out of active politics. "Honolulu has improved wonderfully while I have been away.

I left here after being imprisoned and have not seen the place since. In that interval great changes have occurred. I was particularly impressed with the magnificent of the JLiLCie Pacific Hardware 907-915 Fort Street, Honolulu. 4444 4444Mr-M4444444444 4444444444 1 Hackfeld building, for I had not believed It to be such a fine structure. Then as I drove up Fort street I saw the Improvements made by the Judd, Hall, Mc-Intyre and Bostop O.ocks, all radical Improvements to the business section.

The Young building surprised me greatly by the size of the structure. Then the esplanade has changed considerably, and progress. I also see a great improvement in the appearance of the Advertiser for when I was last here it was a pap which had not yet been carried along the lines of the metropolitan newspapers. Now It has changed the times and I see it keeps apace with the demands of modern journalism. "There is one feature of journalism, however, which I understand I am not to see.

That is. 'Volcano' Marshall's. I understood he was a type all by himself, and I should like to have seen him, for he certainly had a novel manner of writing. I presume if he had lived here during my time we might have boh become acquainted as political prisoners." With his brother, the late Volney Ashford, Clarence Ashford was mixed up with, the iri revolution, and in the proceedings that followed, it was brought out that the Queen's plans were to hae Clarence Ashford as the new Attorney General. He was sent to Oahu Prisoi, and was released on February 24, on condition that he leave the country.

Mr. Ashford came out of prison on his birth day. for the record for one day of the earlier part of the week there was eight inches in the day. The Kansas Methodists have found Rer. Granville Lowther guilty of here sy.

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS Aseu Brown has sued Andrew Bannister on a bill to redeem real property sold under foreclosure.

The case is an outgrowth of the breach of promise suit in which plaintiff secured judgment against Bannister in the sum of $2,500. She now seeks to recover the property formerly held by Bannister and by him sold to his wife for $700 at public auction, plaintiff tendering that amount.

J. Lowrie has sued Kalua Kaikaina-haole for trespass upon lands in Hono-uliuli, Kwa, asking damages in the sum of five hundred dollars. A writ of error was issued from the Supreme Court yesterday in the divorce case of Susan Kahilina vs. I. H.

Kahiiina. This is the suit wherein Senator Kahi-v) lina's wife was given a divorce and alimony in the' amount of $1,000, which Judge Humphreys afterwards set aside upon motion of the defendant's attorneys. Later the attorneys wanted to appeal but Judge Humphreys told them that they were $1,000 ahead of the game anyway, and they withdrew the exceptions already taken. Evidently the court's remarks did not impress them when out of his presence, and the writ of error is the result. Judge Humphreys yesterday removed William Kahelemauna as guardian of Beke Kaanohi because of mismanagement of her property.

Only in Fragments, SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 2S. The Chronicle says editorially: The editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser has been haled before a court in Honolulu and convicted and sentenced to jail for thirty days for contempt. The contempt consisted of publishing a cartoon which reflected unfavorably on the pra-siding Judge. The Advertiser editorially assumes that the Constitutional provision inhibiting Congress from the passing of any law abridging the freedom of the press extends to the Territory under the recent decisions of the Supreme Court, which make a territory a mere creature of Congress.

He holds that a territory which is thus subordinate to Congress, arid which was created by it, "cannot possess powers of which Congress is Itself deprived. That is to say, if Congress cannot pass laws abridging the freedom of the press it cannot confer upon a territory the right to pass such laws nor upon the Judges of such territory the rieht to enforce them if they exist. In other words, the Constitution follows the flag." Vnfortunately for the contention of the Honolulu editor. Congress has concluded that the Constitution shall follow the flag only in fragments, and on the question of the freedom of the Hawaiian press, the day of his commitment to jail for publishing a cartoon may not have been the Constitution's day for that particular fragment to follow. Outlook for Bugar.

LONDON, March 2LLord Onslow, Under Secretary of the Colonial OfSce, speaking at Bath today, said he believed the sugar bounties had been killed forever, and, although It might be necessary to give assistance to the West Indian colonies until the convention came into operation, the outlook for the sugar trade was so much clearer that capital could now be Invested with security and stability in the business of cane growing in the West Indies. Heavy Baici to Windward. The Kor.a side of the Island of Oahu has not been the only district to experience a heavy rainfall during the recent spell of damp weather. A record fall was reported at Maunawill ranch, across the Pali, earlier in the week. During a shower which came up early in the morning and continued with unabating fury most of the day, there was a record of 12 inches of rainfall within the limit of ten hours.

At "Waimanalo there was some rain too. 11.
