Or. Wood and myself have only the
pleasantest recollectiOns of our visit
there We had excellent opportunities
fer learning of the feeling of the Jap
anese toward Hawaii through Minister
Irwin and Dr. Eldredge. From the
treatment we received and what we
learned through DR.. Eldredge and his
family, as well as through Minister
Irwin, | have every reason to think the
relations are most cordial. Two weeks
ago Dr. Wood and | were on the point
of going to some hot springs located
up in the mountains, where skin dis
eases and leprosy are treated. When
we were ready to start I received a
notification that the Emperor wished
to see me- I was presented to His
Majesty and was received in the most
friendly manner"
Did you issue any orders restricting
the departure of immigrants from Chi
ma and Japan?"
'I did not have authority to, nor
did find any necessity for taking such
an arbitrary step. The quarantine reg
ulatiOns there will be enforced to their
utmost limit, and when this is done,
the danger of disease being brought
here is reduced to the minimum. In
view of the thorough inspection at the
Chinese ports and our own inspector,
Dr. Fldredge, at Yokohama, there will
be no danger All emigrants from Chi
ma are inspected and they must come
to Honolulu via Japanese ports. This
insures double inspection, and from
eight to ten days elapse between the
date of leaving Chinese ports and the
final port of departure. This more
than covers the time of incubation or
either plague or cholera.
CAS- a result of all we learned, | am
still more confirmed in the opinion OF
the importance of the inspection OF i'm
migrants and disinfection Of their
clothing at the ports of departure. In
Hong Kong they seem to care nothing
about smallpox: if a case breaks out on
a steamer it is put off at the first port,
freight is discharged and everything
goes on as usual. Take the case OF
the passengers on the Belg1c; or the
Chinese passengers vaccinated, 20 per
cent took effect, and out of the Japan
ese 9 out of % vaccinated were success

= Mr. Smith was seen at his office yes
terday and asked rega ding the con-
ditiOn of affairs in Japan as they relate
to health, and the possible danger OF
disease being brought here by Chinese
and Japanese immigrants. His travels
have beeen reported from time to time
in these columns, the last letter haV>
ing been mailed at Nagasaki to Mr.
Thurston and received here by the
China.
From there said the Attorney Gen~
eral, I'VE went to Yokohama, and
beautiful trip it was, leaving Nagasaki
in the evening by the S. S. China, pass
ing through the SimOnOseki Straits,
the narrow entrance to the Inland Sea.
We passed through the latter in day
light, and at an average speed Of sew
enteeen knots, and the scenery was
beautiful. Islands more plentiful than
in the st. Lawrence, but of different
character. Some of them contain tall
peaks and others are comparatively
level The sea is more like a lake, and
extends about three hundred miles. We
reached Kobe at 8 o'clock, and from
there went to KiOto by rail thence to
Yokohama.
I'VE inspected the quarantine sys-
TENS at Nagasaki, Kobe and Yokohama
and found them perfectly equipped
with appliances and most excellent
provisions for the care of passengers.
From Yokohama we went to Toxic.
but eighteen miles distant by rail and
while there we investigated the sys-
tenn corresponding with our Act to
Mitigate.
Here we found in a population of a
million and a half of people, 5000 reg
istered prostitutes, conducted under q
perfect system of espionage, and with
every facility for the preservation of
health. There is a large corps of ply
sicians and nurses under Government
patronage. and convenient houses
where women report at stated periods" "
do you believe such a. system could
be enforced here?" was asked.
Well replied the Minister. 1.-The
conditions are different-there are so
few of that class of people here"
But it may grow; it is comparatively
easy to handle the seventy on the reg
istration books; what will you do when
it increases to seven hundred, and the
general population does not increase in
the same ratio?"
"The conditions will be different
then from the present time, and the
evil can be attended to by the Govern
ment What we must be careful about
is not to make the law so stringent
that it will force these women to take
their names from the register. You

understand that this Act TO Mitigate
does not make prostitutes but it keeps
them within the reach of the law, and
is a protection to health. The women
might take their names from the reg
lister. but we would have the same num-
ber of prostitutes. In Japan the matter
is handled as best suits the conditions
of the country; the same may be said
of Hawaii
Did you have an opportunity TO in
vestigPte the system of the dead in
Japan Mr.. Smith? Cemeteries are not
popular institutions there, l under
stand"
yes! Under the escort of the chief
surgeon of the Police Department, a
Japanese who was educated in Ger
many. we visited the chief crematories,
where more than 5000 bodies were
burned last year. There are thirty fur
naces arranged in double rows We saw
a corpse brought in and entirely con-
sumed in a few minutes"
''DO you think such method would
ever become popular here, or would
even be tolerated."
''I would not like to say as to that,
but | believe it should be adopted at

persons who die of infectious diseases. >"

A CHURCH ANNIVERSARY,
Rev. Mr.. Scudder's Congregation

Receive Medals for Life.
Saving.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 2S.-The seven
teenth anniversary of the founding of the
First Congregational Church was cele-
brated without Ostentation in the church
parlors last evening. The church was
organized in little hall over a stable on
Webster street, March 25, 1879, with eleven
members. There were at that time come
fifty other congregations in this State
ex ceeding it in number. Now, there are
but six north of Bakersfield. The present
embership numbers 315. The first pastor
was Rev. George Morris, who came direct
from the missionary fields of Tahiti. The
present pastor is Rev. w. w. Scudder, who
has ministered for twelve years. In his
address to his parishioners he called atten-
ton to the need of more room to accom-
modate the growing social and other work
of the church, and it is not improbable
that additions may be built to the edifice,
or the structure remodeled in the near
future.
Alameda News Notes.
ALAMEDA, CAL, March 2S.-There is
talk of having q bicycle lantern parade
and entertainment in this city, to take
place some time in May. Captain V. A.
Dodd of the Alameda Cyclers, is the gen.
tleman who proposes it and no doubt if it
meets with the approval of other club men,
will be a success.
Veterinary Inspector DR.. Thomas Car
penter met with mishap in Oakland yes
terday afternoon. He was thrown out of
his buggy at Thirteenth and Washington
streets and somewhat cut and bruised. He
will be around again in day or so. One
of the wagons of the Peoples Express
Company was struck at First and Broad
way, Oakland, last night by the o clock
local from Alameda. The flagman at the
crossing did not notice that the wagon had
been caught between the rails and gave
the signal for the local to come ahead.
The result was demolished front wheel
and horse SO badly injured that it had to
be shot. The driver, J. Berry, was thrown
from his seat, but not injured.
Elijah Clark appreciates genuine hero
ism and especially so when two young
ladies appear as the rescuers of an almost
drowned old man. He is endeavoring to
raise enough money by subscription to
purchase two medals and present them to
the Misses Pattison and McKeon, who so
gallantly rescued from drowning an old
man named Baker few weeks ago. Baker
at that time was digging clans at the foot
Of Versailles avenue and, getting caught
by the tide, was fast getting nearer un-
consciousness when the two fair heroines
came and extricated him by means of
some boards and rope.
