CONSUL GENERAL MILLS,
interviewed in San Francisco by the
Chronicle.
Praise for the Republic OF Hawaii
In Dealing With Cholera.
Taking a Vacation,

Ellis Mills, the American Consul
General at Honolulu, who ha.
signed all the consular letters dur,
ing the cholera excitement, arrived
here yesterday on the steamer Mar.
lposs, says the San francisco
Chronicle of October 25th. Comics
OF a Honolulu paper containing a
vigorous attack upon him came on
the same vessel. The newspaper
articles demanded that the Govern.
ment should demand his recall up
on the ground that he drank to
excess and was generally untitled
for the position.
Mr.. Mills won general commend
alton by his tireless devotion To
duty during the epidemic. He
took the greatest pains to person
ally see that every passenger taken
from Honolulu for an American
port during the whole time was
properly fumigated. The fumigat-
ing was done in his presence. He
insisted upon this before signing
any of the statements that he did
sign.
When Mr.. Mills was seen on the
steamer yesterday he said: 81
have made four attempts to get
away from the islands and to nv
home in Staunton, Va, on a leave
of absence, but each time some
thing has prevented me from get
ting away. The cholera kept me
busy day and night for weeks, and
after that | was sick and under
constant medical attendance. /
had the malaria fever and a very
severe attack.
Il cannot too highly praise the
Government of Hawaii for the
manner in which it handled the
cholera epidemic. No expense was
spared. Houses were torn down
and plantations of rice drained.
The Government Will have TO pay
for all this. 1t so happened that
the new artesian wells gave forth
flow Of pure water just as the
cholera broke out. which was q
most fortunate thing for the COM
munity. The stopping of the
steamers was another
most wise precaution. l certainly
do not know whether the cholera
was left there by a steamer, but l
do know that the disease certainly
killed in the briefest possible time
and made a well man look like a /
half-skeleton in few hours"
Mr.. Mills expects to return TO
the islands in about four months.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Consul
Charles Seymour writes the Depsrr-

tbst two large British steamers have
left that country with S general line o,
Chinese snd japanese productions for
New York. The vessels go by the
SueZ canal route, and took their car
goes ST the extremely low rate of =
per ton of forty cubic feet.
AT this rate the products Of Eastern
Asis can be delivered in New York 8,
less cost for trans portation than il re-
quired for conveying the freight across
any one of the large states, and for
about one-fourth OF the price paid
from New York or any American
Atlantic port TO Asis by the overland
railroad TO American ports on the Pa
cifc, and then by the several steam
ship lines TO Japan aud China.
Thus says Mr.. Seymour, not
ouly are American and other sailing
vessels to suffer from this new steam
ship rate, but this new ocean freight

great steamship interests between
China aDd American ports on the Pa

From the beginning Of the wsr be-

was repeatedly said, was endesvorins
TO effect some arrangement with
Chins or Japan which would give hsr

way. Vladivostock, which Is now the
eastern terminus OF the rosd, Is In so
northerly = latitude that the harhor Is
filled with ice for ST least half Of the

10 find another terminus, which will
be open 10 navigation unirterrupt-

With this purpose in view she tried,

not much above that of ordinary gun

\ story is going the rounds OF the
press OF an editor and a rich widow
who were engaged to be married. The
neighbors began charging that he was
marrying her for riches. The young
editor was vexed at this, and he per-
suaded his affinity to turn all her
worldly pelf over to d grown daughter,
and that would provo TO the world the
sincerity of his affection. The trusting
widow did so, and the first night the

morning the widow pied the forms in

The secret syndicate Deal.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February II.
The criticism of the Administration
has been intensified by the announce
ment in dispatches from London that
the members of the syndicate were
preparing to place the bonds in that
city At III and more, before they had
really been issued, and as this is a
low price on tho basis of the rate at
which the currency As are selling, it is
argued that the market will be put still
higher, and that the syndicate will
make enormous profits from the Gov
eminent. On the other hand, it is
undeniable that the credit of the coun-
try has been very much lowered by
the populistic tendencies of the present
Congress, which contains men who
would not only take the country off
the gold basis. but would be ready 20
paper. Ever since the sale OF the bonds
which were issued in November the
tendency of the securities of the Gov
eminent has been downward. and some
of the best informed men in Congress
have been of the opioion that the Presi-
dent would be unable to sell coin
bonds at any price. That he has been
forced to place the present issue at a
rate of interest much less favorable to
the Government than the two former
issues has not surprised any one who
has followed the course of events. but
the trouble is that the issue was made
in secret, and in such a way that there
is 10 mean of telling whether or no
the best possible terms were secured.
The critics of the Administration
contend that if the bonds had been
offered publicly bids would have been
received hat would have made therate
of interest on the gold received by the
Government much less than must be
paid under the contract.
