no official examination of any ac-
count had taken place for more
than a year. The former board did
not approve of making a settlement
at Kalalau
Mr.. Carter said removal of the
lepers there had always been op-
posed, either through apathy or by
the active defiance of the lepers
| themselves with Judge Kauai at
their head. He thought the gov
eminent should settle the matter.
President Smith said they could
be removed if the board so decides.
Mr.. Carter said one had been
lately arrested and more could be
if the police were so disposed
The president stated certain diff
fculties in the way of action; one
was the great expense it would
entail. The question of removals
should be very carefully considered.
On motion it was determined
that Agent Stoltz be ordered to
make a full and reliable report on
the condition and number of lepers
in Kalalau also on the number Of
residents there.
On motion it was ordered that
letters be sent to government ply
sicians ordering them to obey the
law in examining the public
schools and reporting on lepers or
suspects found therein.
A request from Mr.. J. Haole,
lately sent to the settlement, to
allow his wife to visit him was re-
fused.
The matter of fencing the ceme-
tery at Kalaupapa was considered
and referred to Agent Meyers to re-
port on probable expense.
1t was decided that the question
of entertainments and night use of
Beretania hall at the settlement be
referred to Mr.. Meyers for trial and
report.
The new rules and regulations
for the government of the settle
ment were referred to Mr.. Meyers
for suggestions and amendments
before final action.
\ letter was read from Messrs.
H. Hackfeld e. Co., agents of the
Pacific Mail and Oriental and Occi-
dental steamship companies, ex-
pressing pleasure at the new quar-
antine regulations of the board.
The agents believed the new regu-
lations would increase tourist
travel materially.
The President made the state
ment that the committee had dis
covered great reluctance on the
part of lepers at the settlement to /
cave that place. Only two had
come forward after a general two
weeks notice issued for a re-exam-
nation for discharge.
Dr. Andrews reported that one

A PHENOMENAL TRIP.
The Barkentine Irneard's Spleu-
did Rum From the Islands.

The barkentine Irmgard, which
arrived yesterday from Honolulu,
covered the distance in the ex-
tremely fast time of 10 DAYS and
u hours. But four vessels have
beaten this record, and only one
has equaled it in the annals of
forty years.
There is usually two days in IA
vor of vessel sailing to the Ha-
waiian islands, that is to say. the
distance actually traversed under
sail would make the journey to and
from the islands nearly in the pro-
portion of ten to twelve. Ten DAYS
is a good passage to the group, and
twelve a good run to this port.
The fastest time ever made from
the islands was by the Emma Clau-
dina, schooner, which arrived from
Hilo on December %, 1884, in 9
days, 20 hours. On the preceding
day the brig COnsuelo had arrived
from Honolulu in exactly 10 DAYS.
The schooner Rosario arrived from
Honolulu the day after the Emma
Claudina, having also made the
distance from Kahului in 10 days
The arrival of the three flyers
within three days, with records
never since equaled, created a
great sensation at the time.
The next best record is that of
the brig w. G. Irwin, which made
the trip from Honolulu in 1888 in
10 days II hours, exactly the Irm-
CARDS time. The next best is the
bark Comet, which, in 1861. put
in record of 10 days 10 hours:
next, the barks Ethan and Yankee
each in II days. The Consuelo
was l3 days coming up on her last
trip, and the best record of the j. =
ID. Spreckels is II days, which will
give good idea of the feat accom-
Pllshed by the Irmgard yesterday.
The John c. Porter, which also ar
rived yesterday was 80 DAYS max
Ing the same trip.-[S. F. Call.

President Smith drew attention
to the fact that sufficient arrange
ments had not been made for tht
twenty-three lepers last sent to thC
settlement, as matters had been in
terrupted by the visit of the board
Mr.. Reynolds stated that notice
had not been given in the past be
fore shipping lepers to Kalaupapa
Mr.. Carter and Mr. Meyer;
thought Mr.. Reynolds was mis-
taken.
The president thought notice
should always be sent ahead.
Mr.. Meyers stated one or two
weeks notice was sufficient.
The board decided that hereafter
no Iepers should be sent to Kalau-
papa without notice.
The president read the estimate
for repairs needed at Kalihi re-
ceiving station mentioned in Mr..
Reynolds report, which called for
$3.50.
On motion of J. o. Carter the
amount was appropriated.
The following report ofMr. Jones,
inspector Of slaughter houses, was
read and ordered filed:

There have been inspected 135 bull
locks, 81 calves, and l64 sheep.
Fifty-five hullocks from Hawaii had
46 head sound, with abscess of liver,

Several hogs received from the
other islands were more or less Grip

In the early morning of Saturday
last a large hog was Killed by the

the police, who took charge of the
matter.
The fish-dealers at the market are
of the stock they have on

Chinese hawkers, who carry it around
IN baskets as fresh fish. During the
week Mr.. William Tell, who has
stand in the market, purchased from

Here in Honolulu no express
refutation of Mr.. Nordhof7s state

ing. however, to note the malign-
ancv in which they are conceived
The phrases, planter class,
planter annexationists," small
but bitter annexation group etc,
etc, are dwelt upon with wearisome
iteration. From what bitter spring
has the amiable correspondent of
the New York Herald been drink
ling? His phrases suggest the
Holomua, and it is strictly aceur-
ate to say that 50 far as the form
and contents of his letter are con-
cerned, he might well be taken for
one of the editors of that mongrel
sheet.
As a defender of retrogression in
government, society and religion,
as the advocate of opium selling
and the self-constituted champion
of usurping monarch, Mr.. Nord-
hoff deserves the highest praise.
1t is q pity that so good a royalist
should have to Ianguish under re-
publican institutions. Mr.. Nord-
hoff should have been here Janu-
airy 14th. His would have been
another American neck for Liliuo-
kalani's foot.
We are sincerely sorry that a
man of Mr.. Nordhoff s supposed
character and imputed talents
should have lent himself to a base
cause. We would be only too
glad to set his alterations
down to constitutional in
aptitude for calm and dispas-
sionate observation. It is pleasant
to believe that he has circulated
the falsehoods with which his COM
munication abounds, rather as the
tool and gull of royalists, than with
2 substantive intention on his own
part 10 deceive. We would be very
unwilling to abandon this charita-
bic hypothesis, and entreat the peo-
pie of Honolulu to plead it in ex-
tenuation of Mr.. Nordhof''s of
fense. Folly, as old Burton proves
with a thousand citations, is some
thing from which the wisest are
not exempt. Lord Bacon was of
the same opinion, and is it not |
in the light of these ven
erable authorities. that even a cor
of the New York Her
aid may have his shay? Let it be
50, for his credit. Mr.. Nordhoff |
has hitched his wagon to an ignis
fatuus; not to a star. The mis-
take will hurt nobody but himself,
and our grief is all for Mr.. Nord-
hoff. The cause of annexation is
the cause of progress, prosperity and
civilization and it will probably |
without the aid Of the
New York Herald, or any of It's
correspondents.

This would open the door to other

President Smith asked Mr.. Mey-

they were sold at 4 and Al cents
per pound, but suggested that their
sale should be opened to tenders.
He also stated some of the obiec-

On motion of Mr.. Carter it was
ordered that hides hereafter be sold
for periods of six months under

a letter from Mr.. Stoltz, agent
for the island of Kauai, was read,
relating to the lepers domiciled at

ton had already been broken down
there. If the government deter
mined to remove them to KaIau-
papa, it should be done within
three months, as during the rest of
the year steamers could not effect a
landing at Kalalau.
Mr.. Smith said there had been

There had been friction heretofore
between the police and board. The

New YoRK, July 5.-Much interest is
being manifested in a special meeting of
the chamber of commerce called for to.
morrow. The members who are most
actively urging the chamber to take a
strong stand were busy today bringing
together men who represent sectional
interests in various parts OF the nation.
The chief features in the monetary
situation today, according to several of
the leading bank presidents, were un-
rest, lack of confidence and scarcity of
currency. The latter is apparently be-
coming very serious matter, and some
of the banks are pretty hard pushed to
secure enough to meet the demands upon
them. Late Monday afternoon orders
were received by telegraph for large
amounts OF currency from Boston, Balti-
more, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. A
dispatch from Philadelphia reported the
refusal OF bank there to pay a check
on it for $l50,000 in cash. The holder
OF the check, it is said, would insist on
the check being paid in cash.
One of the most influential members
of the clearing house said this afternoon:
ut is all nonsense, this talk about the
actual scarcity OF currency, but if every
body keeps on talking about it, it will
soon bo one. The banks have plenty of
cash, but are attempting to hoard their
gold."
The orders for currency by mail this
morning we're reported light, but it is

could not be estimated. The president
of one of the large national hanks, in
speaking of the scarcity of currency, said
large amount of currency is locked up
in the vaults of the trust companies. He
knew one trust company that had
$4,000, GOO of currency locked up in that
way.
At the sub.treaaury today it was said
there had been no telegraphic transfer
OF money, but 100000 in small notes
had been exchanged for larger ones,

Acting Mint Director Preston did not
purchase any silver today, as he consid-
cred the offers made too high. He did
not, as he has done recently. make any
counter offers. and as result no silver
will be purchased by the government
until Friday; not then if the offers are
at figures higher than he thinks they
should be. Tie amount of silver offered
today was $4,000 ounces. A small lot
was offered at $0,7545 per ounce, but
most Of the prices ranged from $0.759 to
$3.50. The London price this morning
was s0.759, and taking into considera-

morning and then came with VEN
geance. When the American National
opened for business large number of
depositors were watching to take out
money. The crowd grew and about 10
o'clock the doors were closed. A notice
posted stated that the bank would COM
mence business again coon, and that its
assets are 81, ,250, 900 and liabilities $780,
900.
Runs were commenced on both the
Western National and the First Ma
tional. The Western National closed
its doors before noon. They have de-
posits of over $1,000,000 and were al
ways considered very strong. Hundreds
stood in and about the the First Ma
tional bank all day, and deposits
were paid ss fast as the paying-teller
could handle them. The general expec-
tation is that the First National will be
able to pay it's creditors in full when
called for, and they cannot be forced to
close.
The Central National closed at noon.
Its assets are about $4,000 and liabil-
tiles about $4,000.
A run was made on the Pueblo Saw
ings bank, but they took advantage Of
the law which allows them 60 days, and
the bank ia regarded as perfectly safe.
There is much better feeling this

past. Each of the closed banks can pay

Many Big Concerns Dragged Down One
After Another.
OMAHA, Neb., July 5.-The American
Savings bank has gone into voluntary
liquidation and asked the state banking
board to wind up it's affairs. The action
is due to the failure of the American
Loan and Trust company, which was
placed in the hands of a receiver
this afternoon, at the instance of
the directors of the concern, the
company being the principal stockholder
in the savings bank. The failure OF the
investment company is attributed to
the failure of the Omaha and South
Texas Land company and the American
Loan company. The first of the con-
Germs embarrassed had a paid up capital
of 100000. The savings bank was an
offshoot, with a capital stock of $400, 900,
OF which 100000 was paid up. 0. M.

bank, the American Savings banks de-
posits were reduced to $4,000; the re-
naming securities, amounting to $780,

amount to but Sl53, 900. Garter gave a
mortgage on his residence yesterday for
