They very wisely came TO the couclu-
sion 10 lay aside political differences

stances Is very commeudable.
INFECTED HOUSES BURNED.
Two infected houses, one maks: OF
Oahu jail and another at the foot
Of Sheridan street, were burned yester.
day afternoon. Chief Hunt and a
number Of firemen with convenient

MAY QUARANTINE VALLEYS.
a great many people are in favor of
establishing 8 strict quarantine in the
valleys. Residents going back and
forth is thought 10 be dangerous uu-
der the present circumstances, espe.
cislly as il Is very difficult TO keep
track N their movements. Many in
stances have come to light where na-
tives misrepresented facts in order TO
pass the guards, ard Instead Of attend
ing 10 business or doing some other
necessary errsnd, visited infected To-
cslitieS for the purpose Of idle CONVEX
sstion. In Manos valley there are
ssventy-niue families, sixty-uine of
the number trusting solely TO brooks
FOR their water supply. II cholera
should break out there the result
would be very serious.
| BUSINESS SUSPENSION NOT FAvoREn.
A prominent business man was
spoken 10 regarding the total suspeu-
sion Of business, which has been dis
cuSsei for several days. Ii was his
| opinion that such sction would prove
| detrimental in many respects Such
course would surely bring about s
psuic and csuse many of a timid na-
ture 10 become thoroughly frightened.
He favored continuance of business
S. st present, snd believed it only 8
question of S short time before cholera
would be completely ersdicated.

believes such plsn would meet all
the exigeneies of the times, and he
has sgreed to set the bSll in motion to
thst end. An instance OF this kind
came prominently to the fore ST
