Maui Physicians Disagree.

News was received yesterday by
the Claudine of little difficulty
that took place between Drs. Ar
mitage and Raymond in Waikiki
recently. 1t seems that Armitage
had a patient at the hospital.
This fact did not please Raymond
in the least, so he called him a
coward. Armitage called on Ray
mOnd in the evening and challeng-
ed him to fight. Before Armitage
was aware of it Raymond hit him
on the jaw, across the fence, and
from behind. Sheriff Carter hap
pened to be on the scene and
caught hold of Armitage to pre-
vent further trouble. Later on
Raymond swOre out a warrant
against Armitage to keep the
peace. He was arrested and re-
leased later on $500 bond. The
case will come up for trial today.

Black Plague Missed by a Mere
Chance.
IS. S. GAELICS BAD LUCK
Made Steerage Passengers Vaccin-
sted - Freight and Steamer Fumi-
gated No Passengers to Land.

A dispatch was received by Minister
Cooper yesterday, per Alameda, from
R. W. Irwin, at Toxic, Japan, to the eff
feet that Chinese passenger from
Hong Kong, by the Gaelic, had left the
steamer secretly at Yokohama, March
80, and died of black plague in the Chi
nese hospital there on April 1. The af-
fair was not discovered until April 2
The Gaelic had not arrived when this
information was received. President
Smith called meeting of the Board of
Health for p. M, but the Gaelic was
telephoned between and p. m This
necessitated the presence of DR.. Day
aboard the steamer, so the meeting was
postponed until 4:30 p. m.
DR.. Day did not get ashore until 5:45
p. M, and meeting was held in Minis
ter Smiths Office on Fort street immedi-
ately after. There was present, besides
several members of the Board of Health,
E. Suhr, representing H. Hackfeld &
Co., agents for the o. & o. S. s. Co.
here.
DR.. Day reported that the Gaelic had
arrived, eleven days out from Yokoha-
ma, with 900 steerage passengers and
700 tons OF freight for this port. She
left Yokohama on March 31st, and on
April 7th case of smallpox was dis
covered. The doctor of the Gealic re-
ported that there was sickness between
Hong Kong and Yokohama, but that
upon examination of the steerage pas
sengers the day after leaving Yoko-
hama, one Chinaman was found miss
ing. He got awy in some secret man
ner This was the man who died of the
black plague at the hospital in Yoko-
hama.
The Board of Health decided to al
low the Gaelic to come in alongside the
Pacific Mail wharf, but under the strict
est quarantine. The passengers will be
lightered ashore and landed at Quaran-
tine Island. Previous to this the sick
man will be brought ashore to the pest
house in one of the ships boats, none
but persons who have had the smallpox
already being allowed to handle the
man. The boat will then be fumigated.
The steamer, after hauling alongside
the Pacific Mail wharf, will be fumi-
gated with the sulphur furnace before
landing the cargo. People handling the
freight must go into quarantine.
All of the Chinese passengers aboard
were vaccinated by the ships doctor.
The japanese were vaccinated in Yo-
kohama.

| lighters. Lumber costs S26 thousand,
and many other things in proportion,
simply because it costs so much to han
die the cargoes."
ITO turn from futurities to the pres
ent, Mr.. Loebenstein, what has been the
result of the visit of the Hilo committee
from their own standpoint"
Il think l may honestly say that our
trip has been successful. We have found
out some things we didn't know before,
and have also nd an opportunity TO
present our side of the question.
"Our coming to Honolulu was due to
the impression that had gained ground
in Hawaii, from information received,
that the island had not received the at
tention to which it was entitled. We
came down to assist the Legislative
delegation, and were received cordially
by them on our arrival. We were in
PRODUCED to the Executive by Senator
| Lyman, and were again cordially re-
Iceived. The Executive gave us facts and
figures in connection with the proposed
Loan Act wherein the appropriations
for Hawaii figured largely.
| Between roads and wharf it is
hard to give decided reply as to which
is most needed. Outside of Hilo, the
people of Hawaii are unanimously in
favor of a thorough and speedy road
construction. On the whole, l think l
may say for the committee that we have
no reason to believe our mission was a
failure. On the contrary, l believe we
have raaSnn IN fao1 hiphlv prafifipd
The impression is erroneous that there
is any jealousy in the outer districts to-
ward Honolulu. We begrudge it moth
ing, and are proud of the capital city.
1t must be plain to all business men

arise when heavy northerly swell is
running. But there are no engineering
difficulties in the way. There is plenty
of rock handy for the construction of
the wharf and for further protecting the
anchorage. Even when it is rough
along the coast, vessels run into Hilo
bay for shelter. There has always been
a landing at Waiakea, and have never
known the time when boats could not
land with perfect safety. 1t might be
possible that in the heaviest northerly
weather some of the vessels might be
obliged to pull into the stream for an
chorage, but such a state of affairs will
be the exception rather than the rule.
''The harbor is well protected by a
sunken reef outside, and Cocoanut Is
land. 1t is fianked on either side by
high cliffs, which make the harbor i'm
pregnable if properly armed. The har-
Dor is wide enough and deep enough to
float all the shipping of the Pacific"
What about your taking business
away from Honolulu"
MY dear sir, that idea is nonsense
! from start to finish. The Government
/
pay off the bonded Indebtedness, and
you cannot expect to open up those
lands without proper wharfage facili-
ties. The harbor is larger than your
Honolulu harbor, and there are eighteen
acres of Government land adjoining
that will be Immediately available when
the Waiakea wharf is built Why, theirs
are 10000 tons of sugar shipped from
that harbor direct to the coast now
The saving in freights will be consider
able, and that saving may mean to the
coffee planter the difference between
success and failure. Given a wharf and
storehouses, railroad built along that
district would control sixty-five miles
of sugar and coffee belt, to say nothing
of what would come in from the Olaa
district.
ITO enlarge the present Hilo wharf
and build breakwater would only be
a makeshift. People now pay wharfage
fees, and half the time they have to
go to Waiakea and land their cargoes in
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-04-14

needs wharf, and needs it badly, and
is not in favor of making additions to
tie present wharf landing. In support
OF his position Mr.. Loebenstein said
that the present boat landing can only
be used once out of five or six trips of
the steamer. 1.-The portion of the bay
where the present wharf is located is
gradually being filled in by the earth
washed from the mountains.
THE climate of Hilo is changing. The
moisture that was once deposited on the
sea coast now falls further up the
mountain sides, and the stretch of sea
coast that was once comparatively level
is now cut up by numerous gullies. The
accretion on the Hilo water front re-
sulting from the earth washed from the
mountains has amounted to 100 feet in
ten years. This accretion is increasing,
and makes the present wharf almost in
accessible unless kept free by constant
dredging.
''On the Waiakea side, one and half
miles from the town. the shore is free
from this land-making system of the
elements. Within 100 feet of the shore
line of the proposed Waiakea harbor
landing there is twenty feet of water,
and 500 feet from the shore there is
twenty-seven feet. The current passing
through the Cocoanut Island channel
scours the shore free of the deposits
that are filling in the other side of the
bay.
Another point in favor of putting the
wharf at Waiakea is the fact that the
whole of Waiakea is Government land.
In fact the Government has always re-
served four acres in the immediate vi
cinity of the present landing, for wharf
age purposes, suppose. OF course the
Waiakea landing is quite distance
from the town, but the minute the
Government begins work on the wharf
there, private parties are ready to con-
struct an electric tramway to the town,
which will shorten the distance and add
perceptibly to the comforts of the pas
sengers. At present the steamer an
chors about mile and a half out in the
bay, the passengers are landed in boats

sever cold which left him with a

he says: 81 used several kinds of
cough syrup, but found no relief until
bought bottle of Chamberlain's

most instantly, and in a short time
brought about a complete cure" When
