THE HOSPITAL TAX IS LEGAL.
Important Decision Rendered by the
Supreme Court.
Steamship Companies Must Pay a Per
Capita Tax of One Dollar For
Persons Landed.

An important decision has been
rendered by the Supreme Court in
an action brought by the trustees
of the Queens hospital against the
Collector of Customs.
1t is to the effect that the poll
tax upon persons arriving at this
port is perfectly legal and should
be enforced in the future.
The law called in question is one
which provides that the owners of
steamships and sailing vessels shall
pay one dollar for every passenger
who lands at Honolulu. 1t was
questioned, and the Minister of the
Interior construed the law in such
a manner that the Collector of Gus
toms was instructed not to insist
upon the import tax.
Then the trustees for the hos
pital took the matter into the
courts and the judicial body rules
that the tax shall be paid. So
when a japanese steamer arrives
with thousand or fifteen hundred
laborers aboard, the hospital fund
will be increased by $1,000 or $500.
And for every person who arrives
on the regular steamers, either
cabin or steerage, one dollar must
be paid by the company owning
the boat.
This means an annual income
for the Hospital of over $4,000
year, and the fund has to be set
aside for this purpose alone. Under
the law, it cannot be drawn upon
for any appropriation, and is only
subject to draft from the treasurer
of the Hospital.
The decision in full, written by
Chief Justice Judd, appears in
another column, and will be of
considerable interest to the legal
fraternity.

KILAUEA IS LIVELY.
Mr.. Lee Says His Volcano is Doing
the Usual Business.

Volcano HOUSE, Oct. %, 1894.
Mr.. EDITOR: Dear Sir-In a
late issue of your paper l see your
Hilo correspondent states that the
fire is all out of the crater. AS the
public in general are more or less
interested in Hawaii's greatest
wonder, 1 take great pleasure in
being able to state an entirely diff
ferent condition of affairs. 1t is
true that for about two weeks the
fire in the crater was almost invisi-
BILE, owing to the great and dense
clouds of steam issuing from the
pit, and it was enormously thought
by some that the lava had entirely
disappeared. But on the Goth inst.
the fire doomed forth again with its
accustomed brilliancy, and the lake
is now quite active. 1t is my in
tention and purpose to keep the
public posted at all times as to the
condition of Kilauea, and l should
certainly have reported the above
circumstance had / seriously
thought that the fire had all gone
out of the crater.
The first snow of the season was
visible on both Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa on the morning of the
Goth, which, of course, indicates
cool, bracing weather. The Their
mometer at present is ranging from
As to so degrees in the morning,
and gradually moving up to 6S and
70 degrees at noon. A sniff of our
fresh mountain air and beautiful
Indian summer weather would be
an agreeable change to Honolulu
ties, and should prove an induce
ment to make a short visit up this
way. Yours truly,

Reports Made at the Annual SEES
sion Of the Body.

On Tuesday afternoon, the 23d
inst, the tenth annual meeting of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was held at the home of the
president, Mrs. DR.. Whitney. The
large parlors were prettily decor
ated and well filled with members
of the association and visiting
friends, there being several gentle
men among them.
The opening exercises were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr.. Hutchins.
Reports of the officers of the last
year were read, followed by a re-
sumo of the ten years of the socie-
tvs existence, by the president.
Miss Green reviewed her labors
during the last ten years, showing
a vast amount of work performed
in the early years in organizing
native temperance societies all over
the islands, but more recently she
has confined her work to Honolulu.
She hopes, however, to tour the isl
ands IN the near future in the in
terests of temperance. The several
departments of work were favora-
bly, reported by their superintend-
ents.
In the Secretary's report, besides
the regular lines of work, reference
was made to the Crusade anniver-
sary, which was celebrated Deem

ton held in the Y. NJ. C. A. parlors
by the ladies of the Union, assisted
by Mr.. Corbett and the Us; the

Anthony Ten Eyck was the Unit
ed States Commissioner to these
Islands in 1S4S. He did not act
with any friendly spirit toward the
Government. On November Is,
1S4S, the Sandwich Island News"
published a scurrilous attack on
the Government, of which DR.. Judd
was Minister of Finance; R. G..
Wyllie, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and Rev. R. Armstrong, Minister of
Public Instruction. 1t also pub
lished some doggerel poetry, at the
same time.
One Peacock, a printer, secured
the original manuscript from the
publication office, at the instigation
of DR.. Judd, and it was found to
be in the handwriting of Ten Eyck.
He was charged with the offence of
writing it; and mainly defended
himself on the same ground which
was taken by the burglar-that if
he was guilty, the man who de-
tected him was very mean.
Mr. Wyllie, also, accused him Of
stepping into court and advocating
the claims of private parties, and
of being a great meddler in private
affairs.
The matter was investigated by
the Privy Council, and on Decem-
Der 10Th, the King ordered that
Ten Eyck should no longer be rec
ognized as the United States Com
missioner, but should be treated
with respect. Ten Eyck soon after
left the islands.
The following are the verses
which, among other things, caused
the trouble:
Should monkey wear a crown,
Must we trembie at his frown,
Could we not through all his ermine,
Spy the strutting, chattering vermin?
hOhOulu uOClOI lCdNG LIS ol1Opi
And mount throne in one hop,
Could we not in all he did,
Spy the firm, Jallap q Fid?
Should judge put on a sack,
Meier designed to fit his back,
Could we not through all the wool,
Spy the doctor at the pull?
Should a saddler leave his awI,
Must we own a statesman tall,
Could we not, in all his acts,
Smell the stencil of cobbler's wax?
Should an ass put on a skin,
Nature meier designed for him,
Could we not when he's fed highly,
Spy the fool as well as-Wily?
Should a Reverend leave his station,
For the good of the kanaka nation,
Could we not, by his lear,
Spy six hundred pounds a year?

THE HEALTH OF HAWAII
Meeting of the Board That Attends
to Such.
Another Letter From a Physician
Who Wishes to Try His Rene
dies on Leper Patient.

The Board of Health met Wednes-
day afternoon, with President
Smith in the chair. There were
present Members Lansing, Water
house, Day, Wood, Emerson, and
DR.. Herbert and Agent Reynolds.
Mrs. Galloway and Miss Oliver,
who have been selling Viavi rene
dies in Honolulu, appeared before
the Board to explain why they
were not breaking the law by SELL
ing medicines and prescribing for
sick people. They said that they
sold patent medicines in original
packages under a merchandise
license. They also said that they
sent out agents to canvass the city
for orders. No action was taken in
the matter.
Agent C. B. Reynolds reported
that Reservoir No. 2 at the Leper
Settlementwas completed at a cost
of $1,000. The report was accepted,
and Mr.. Reynolds was commended
for his efficient work.
Two elders of the Mormon
church applied for permission to go
to the settlement and look after the
interests of their church there,
which was granted.
c. A. Stullman applied for a po-
sition under the Board. The APP
plication was placed on file.
The trustees Of Beretania Hall,
at the Leper Settlement, asked for
permission to hold entertainments
twice a month, but action in the
matter was deferred.
The Board has adopted plans for
the new women's ward at the In
sane Asylum, and recommended
the Minister of the Interior to erect
it at once.
The matter of placing a patent
bolt on the doors Of the asylum,
so that, in case of fire, all the
doors can be quickly opened was
left to the asylum committee to
act.
The following letter was shown
to the Board by DR.. Emerson:
TEHACHAPIA, CAL, Sept. %, 1894.
DIR. n. B. EMERSON.
SIR: Let me know by your earliest
convenience if you would let me ex-
pertinent on one case of leprosy.
And if 1 would have to be respon-
sible for anything that would happen
from cause of medicine.
And if not responsible shall send
you medicine aud directions.
Yours respectfully,
F. A. FUKERT, JR.

above letter, and the Board adj

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Efforts Being Made To Drive 1t Out o
the Market.

Efforts Being Made to Drive 1t Out of
the Market.
TACOMA, April 17.-Part of the new
Northern Pacific Express rates on fruit
have been decided upon by General Man
ager Browning. Superintendent of Tariffs
Bell and John L. Hopkins, General Agent
at Tacoma. The rates in this State will
be as follows: North Yakima to Tacoma,
cantaloupes and watermelons, IS cents
per 100 pounds; all other fruits and veg
etables, 80 cents per 100 pounds; Walla
Walla to Tacoma, fruits and vegetables,
81 % per 100 pounds.
The new rates show a large reduction
over the rates which were in effect previ-
Gus to the latter part of last years fruit
season. The rates made to Tacoma Will
probably apply also to Seattle and pro-
portionate reduction on fruit rates from
Yakima and Walla Walla will be made to
Portland via Tacoma. General Agent
Hopkins is confident that these rates will
drive the California product ont of the
market.
The reduced fruit rates from eastern
Washington to Montana, st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Chicago have not been decided
upon, but will be this week. The object
is to give Washington fruit an advantage
over the California product in those mar
kets, citrus fruits, of course, excepted.
Washington's fruit crop promises to be
five times larger than ever before. East
ern wholesalers write that it will be an
important factor in this years supply,
because of the injury done the Eastern
crop by late frosts.

to Have Been Sunk Off Santa Cath
Copyrighted by the Associated Press |

BUENoS AYRES, April 1.-THE remains
of the Brazilian rebel fleet recently COM
manded by Admiral de Mello. which ar
rived at this port last night, are the sub
ject of extensive exchanges of telegraphic
messages between the authorities of this
place and the Brazilian Government
through the Brazilian Minister here. The
rebel ships are the Republica, Meleroe,
Iris, Urano and EsperanZa. They are in
a very dilapidated condition, and the
rebels on board are suffering from sick
ness, wounds and the lack of proper food.
Advices from Rio de Janeiro state that
amnesty will be granted the insurgent
rank and file, and that the Brazilian Gov
ernment will pay the quarantine ex-
penses of the ships if they are surren-
dered to the Brazilian Minister. The
Argentine Government, with the consent
of the rebel leaders, is now superintend-
ing the delivery of the five war vessels to
the Brazilian Minister.
President PeiXoto's Government has
notified the Government of Uruguay that
all insurgents with the exception of the
leaders may return to Brazil without fear
of being severely punished.
Nothing seems to be known of the ul til
mate destination of Admiral De Mello
and General Caldago, although it is be-
lieved that the former will take the earli-
est opportunity OF escaping to foreign
country, where he can hide himself tor
the rest OF his life.
On all sides the utmost contempt is ex-
pressed for Admiral De Mello, whose de-
sertion of Admiral Da Cana is look ed
upon as being piece of cowardly treach-
cry. 1t is openly STATED that Da Cana
proposes to seek out Admiral De Mello
and compel him to meet him in mortal
combat.
If the rebel Admiral falls into the hands
of PieXoto there is little doubt he will be
promptly tried by court-martial and shot.
