irgs, especially where there are sleeping
apartments, TO determine the condition of
gas fixtures with the object of preventing

this morning at 10 a. m. f. A.
Schaefer was in the chair with j. B
Anterior as secretary About TWEEN
ty representative merchants were
present.
c. M. Cooke from the special com
mittee reported that the committee
had divided up in three sections.
Mr.. Hymann had been appointed to
solicit subscriptions to pay for a
special steamer. No report had yet
been received but the speaker
thought that $4,000 had been Sc
cured. Fl. Hackfeld had been re-
quested to see Wilder's S. S. Co.
and he had reported back that that
company was willing to allow the
Chamber of Commerce the use of
the Clsudine at the rate of $400 a
day. The speaker had been ms
tructed to see the government. He
had conferred with Mr.. Hatch
and asked the government to fur
nish substantial assistance. Minis
ter Hatch had answered that
the government at present could
see no sense in assisting the people
anxious to dispatch steamer as
new cases had appeared since the
departure of the Monowai This
was the report of the committee
Henry Waterhouse moved that the
report be received aud considered
with any eventual discussion by the
Chamber.
T. r. Walker asked if the commit
tee made any recommendation and,
on receiving a negative, moved that
consideration of the report be de-
ferred until an official declaration
on behalf of the Government has
been made whether the port of Ho-
nolulu is an infected port or not.
John Ena suggested that further
consideration of the matter be de-
ferred until it was learned If the
Government proposed to cooperate
or not; and in case it did not see fit
to assist; if sufficient money could be
procured, then to charter steamer
would be best.
G. M. Cooke stated that the com.
mittee had not yet seen the Board
of Health.
Mr.. Hyman then appeared and
stated that only $500 lad been sub
scribed, but that it was possible that
$500 more could be raised.
The motion of T. r. Walker wat
put and carried, and the chairman
was authorized to notify Wilder's S
S. Co. that the Claudine was no.
needed to-day
The amounts promised by sub
scribeIs were declared cancelled
