tigate all charges of neglects incompet-
ency or malfeasance in office against

in other districts, but what it was best
TO do here.
G. F. Renton considered that any
attempt to interfere with the landing
OF freight or passengers under permits
sion of the Board of Health would be
an attempt against the laws of the
Republic, and was not TO be thought
of.
c. 5. Kynnersley thought that the
freight sent from Honolulu was in
tended only to supply the actual needs
of the people, and as it was not needed
here it might safely be returned.
DIR. Bond was called upon more
than once for his professional opinion
on various points. He said he was
acting under the Board OF Health and
must carry out their instructions. He
thought the restrictions placed upon
passengers ought to relieve any one Of
anxiety on their account. The hand
ling OF freight he considered more
dangerous. He thought the germs of
disease might retain their vitality for
a long period on merchandise.
Mr.. Pulaa explained his position as
the exponent Of the law, and said he
could not legally resist the landing of
anything allowed by the authorities
in Honolulu. Many others spoke
according to their views. A motion
to indefinitely postpone Mr.. Renton's
resolution was carried by very large
majority. Mr.. Holstein's resolution
was then adopted by practically the
same majority-about thirty-seven-
a number not voting. Most of the
native citizens, some of the white
citizens, and almost every non-eitiZen
present voted in favor of Mr.. Hol-
STEMS resolution. There was no
question as to the feeling of the ma
jority OF those present. 1t was desire
for absolute quarantine from Homo
lulu, IN every matter except the
mails. The meeting was orderly and
the discussion was earnest. The tone
of the remarks was on the whole
kindly and reasonable, and every one
fully realized the untiring efforts of
the Board of Health to minimize the
dangers of infection, while endeavor-
ing to supply the needs of the people.
Before the meeting adjourned the
Secretary was instructed to forward
copies of Mr.. Holstein's resolution to
the captain of the Claudine, both to
Mahukona and Kawaihae, so that he
might be apprised of the public feel
ing before any freight or passengers
were landed.
The public schools have all been
started, substitutes having been pro-
vided in the places of those teachers
detained in Honolulu.
The tap of the local saloon has run
dry, and some are bemoaning the
pros nects of a long drouth.

Claudine entered Hilo yesterday morn
ing, and after some discussion as to pas
sengers, the mail for that village was
landed and distributed without any
fumig alton other than it received in Ho-
nolulu. At the same time, word was
sent out that the mail had lett for North
Hilo and Hamakua MIR. Barnard, post
master at Laupaho-hoe, sent out to the
dead line at Hakalau to receive it, but
when the special returned he had no
mail except a little picked up on the
route. On inquiry, Hilo informed all the
above districts that there was no mail
for them. This false information was
held to until IL O'Clock today, when we
were again informed that our mail was
on the Claudine and would be landed in
Mahukona, where it must be again fumi-
gated before being delivered. II the
powers that be intend to let the mail

day These objections should have been
made months ago, but with the custom
airy hardness of lawyers they have just
begun to move when it is almost too
late.
The committee composed of Judge
HaZen. David Overmyer, Eugene Ware,
John Guthrie, E. S. Quinton, A. II. Vance
and Ralph Cav went to the new court
house this morning, looked the ground
over and went back and put their state
ment on paper with a request that the
board of county commissioners with the
architect meet the committee at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.
The lawyers say that the arrangements
of the court room in the original plans
are wretched. The quarters are no
larger than the present room and it is so
arranged that the entrance is near the
judges desk, whereas it should be as far
removed as possible in order that the
court may not be disturbed. The COM
mittee recommends that the entire north
wing of the second story be given over
to the court which would give a room
about So feet wide by 80 feet leng. The
entrance will be at the rear.
In order to effect this change the plans
of the district clerks Office are spoiled.
and an extra wall will have to be built
from the basement up.

An Effort Will BE Made to Get Other
Trades Out.
CHICAGO, May pa general strike of
brickmakers was declared late last night
and every brick yard in Chicago is tied
up today.
The fight is expected to be bitter one,
and trouble is anticipated by the police.
The strike has been in force in several
of the yards for two weeks, the demand
of the men for higher wages being re-
fused, and the Brickmakers' alliance
yesterday decided to order a general
strike to force concessions by the manu-
facturers
The latter declare they will operate
several yards on the north side with non
union mon, and the yards specified were
surrounded before noon by crowds of
strikers determined that no work shall
be done until the wage question is set
tied.
The strikers reported at noon that
about 1910 men were out and that only
d few non union men could be received
by the manufacturers. The north side
yards, where trouble was expected, were
heavily guarded by police all day. A
mass meeting of strikers was held this
afternoon and an effort will be proba bly,
made to call sympathetic strikes in the
other building trades.

KILLS REVENUE LAWS
A Surprising Effect of the In
come Tax Decision.
1t Destroys Internal Revenue
Laws Says an Attorney.
ARE DIRECT TAXES.
Therefore They Are Null Ac-
cOrding to the Court.
If This is True it Means I'm
taxed Whisky.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 22.-The
startling announcement is made by Col
onel Noble Smithson, Knoxville attor-
ney, who has had much practice before
the United States supreme court, that
the decision of that court on the income
tax has also killed the internal revenue
laws.
In carefully prepared opinion Col
enel SmithsOn says: Justice Fuller
In his opinion says 'the constitution
divides federal taxation into two
classes: First, direct taxes; second,
imports and excises,' and that direct
taxes must be apportioned among the
several states in the proportion to their
representation in the house of represen-
tatives;
apparently the logical result of this
opinion is that all federal taxes, except
duties of import (that is to say
taxes collected under the tariff
laws) must be apportioned among
the states according to their rep
resentation in the house of
representatives. The act of August 81,
1894, (the Wilson billy section 49. pro
vides There shall be levied and col
of ITO on each proof gallon
"lhe statutes of the United States levy
a tax of cents per pound on tabacco,
etc. 1t seems clear that according to this
opinion of the chief justice these
are direct taxes on personal property
and not being proportioned among the
several states according to representation
| they are unconstitutional and void
''1f this view be correct the supreme
court has not only wiped out the income
but has practically repealed the internal
revenue laws as it affects tobacco, whisky,
! brandy, etc
If this construction of the opinion be
correct all direct taxes, including those
on real and personal property. must be
levied on according to representation, so
the rich people of New York, Massachu-
sets and other eastern states will pay no
more tax percapita than the poorer people
| of the western and southern states OF
course this is not to be thought of.
1t would result that practically all the
revenues to support the government
must be raised by duties on imports, and
instead of reducing the tariff it will
necessarily increase it materially.

So far as can be learned there is no
crime of any kind that can be fixed on
Brady, and it is a mystery here why his
enemies should resort to such question

pursue and arrest the whole party but he
was unable to find them. A message has
