passengers and crew will be strictly quarantined
for several weeks The quarantine for this class of
is in the old buildings the reef at kohola
loa when by no reasonable possibility can any
contact with town be had. Meantime the vessel
lies outside She ought to lie the lee side of the
entrance. The conduct of the pilot who went on
board and then came on shore and reported the
case is certainly open TO criticism, if nothing
stronger. No precaution should be spared to pre-
vent the spread of the dreaded disease.
As heretofore noticed, Prof. Henry Ketten.
pianist of very high reputation. arrived from San
Francisco on the City Of Sydney. He proposes to
give piano concert tomorrow evening at the Ly
ceum. 1t is to be hoped that he will find full
house Honolulu ought to make 1t pay for first
class talent TO come here. No doubt all lovers of
music well as connoisseurs will be more than
satisfied with what they will hear. BY many COM
peient judges in other lands Prof kettenis classed
with Won Bulow and List.

Work on the artesian well upon the premises of
Mr.. Marquee near Punahou was commenced last
week, Wednesday. and since then has progressed
quite satisfactorily. With the exception of Mr..
Peirce the superintendent. the hands employed are
unacquainted with this work. and taking this into
consideration the progress made is quite satisfac
tory. The apparatus resembles that for sinking
oil wells, and probably an oil man would shed
tears of JOY on behoding its tall stradd ling legs.

for the purpose of putting in piping, as the sides
of the bore were crumbling little, as was expect

two three hundred feet, and work will be prose

crowd of natives were before the Police Court
yesterday morning for gambling. As there was no
possibility of defence they all plead guilty, and
We're fined $40 and costs each. Some of these peo-

MAUI.
Most of the plantations on Maui are grinding,
and doing good work. Hamakuapoko mill is not
grinding having finished the last crop, and is now
waiting for cane TO mature.
Makawao people complain much of the police
arrangements of their district. The chief of po-
lice deputy sheriff, is Il native who is said to
take much more interest In certain outside bust
ness than IN his official duties.
The disturbances at the late election; the man
ner In which the burglary case at L'Orange's was
attended to: and the management of Hoffmann s
forgery case, show that the residents of the dis
trict find but little assistance from the Police
department.
Capt. Hobron's new locomotive the " Kalakaua,' -
is running, and is a beautiful machine. The ring
ing of the whistle, the train leaves twice day
for Nailuku and twice for Spreckelsville, has a
civilized tone Maui people say that Honolulu
folks must come TO Maui to gain new ideas.
The appeals during the past three months more
probably, the last three years from the district of
MakawaO, in regard TO the bad condition of the
roads have met with no response. The roads are
sadly neglected. The present Governor seems
visits TO Lahaina.
Some plantations on Maui complain of a scar
city Of laborers. 1t is said that there large
number of Chinese wandering here and there,
from place to place, cumming" on their friends
with the pretence of looking for work 1t is feared
that this class will increase. Should that be the
mischief will follow. Satan finds mischief
still for idle hands TO do
HAWAII.
A correspondent in Hamakua sends the fol-
! lowing notes, which are good that We hope ii
will be followed by more of the same sort:
Now that good part OF the machinery Is landed
! at Paauhau. the place begins to show signs of
activity. The landing will be completed in about
ten days
Steam was got up in the boiler that is to haul
the cars up and down the incline, from the ware
| house to the crane, and everything worked to a
| charm. Competent judges assert that the Pau
| haU landing has no equal on the coast, and such
| is undoubtedly the case, as a landing can he
| effectually made here in any weather. The crane
will be situated on the leeward side of projection
! of rock and right under the bluff in what may be
| called miniature bay and is therefore completely
| sheltered from the heavy seas which sweep over
the rocks to windward.
The schooner Eugene 4. Briggs is expected back
in three weeks with the balance of the machinery,
| etc.
One fatal accident has occurred at the landing.
/ sailor belonging to the Eugene 4. Briggs lost
his life by drowning while helping to land the
machinery.
Another accident of like nature was happily

were both rescued by boat. His cries for help
