BIG FLGRAL PARADE.
To Be One Of the Attractions of Macon s
Carnival.

Carnival.
The Macon Telegraph, in speaking
of the approaching carnival in that
city, says;
"a bouqnet of beauties a half mile
long will be one of the attractive fea-
lures of the carnival on Monday, o.
tober IL.
"Truly it will be sweetness long
drawn out when sixty equipages,
containing more than one hundred of
Macon's most charming ladies are
seen upon the streets in the process
sion. Each equipage will be beauti-
fully decorated and the artists inge-
nuity and talent will be taxed in the
work of decoration,
"Mr. Azel Freeman is chairman of
the floral parade and has put his whole
heart in it. At the meeting of the
committee Monday night it was de-
cided to divide the work of getting the
ladies of Macon to consent to 20 into
the parade among Messrs. Azel Free
man, M. R. Rogers, and Glenn Phillips,
Mr.. Freeman said yesterday that he
had not seen the other mem bers of the
committee, but that he had seen
majority of the ladies on his
list and that not one had refused to
enter the procession. Each one of
them is willing to do all she can to
make the carnival a success, and for
this reason will go into the procession
with her equipage decorated in the
best possible manner. Mr.. Freeman
says the idea is to get the ladies to
state positively whether they will go
into the parade, SO that they will
know exactly what to expect. All of
those he has seen have given their
promise and that is all he wants. He
is counting positively on sixty floral
floats and says he is positive that the
number will not be less,

The Report From the UnfOr
tunate City.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-The number
of red and yellow flags indicating yell
low fever about the city is increasing,
but the disease Is not growing any
more malignant than it was ten days
ago. A new case was reported this
morning on Jackson avenue, the
fourth on that thoroughfare.
Reports were also received at the
board of health of two deaths this
morning, but the names and location
are not given out. The board of
health has decided to make its days
record end at 9 o'clock instead of 6
hereafter, in order to avoid as much
as possible the conflicts between Off
cial and non-oficial reports.
The new law requires the people liv-
ing in the Tenderloin district to move
to new limits. The law was to have
been put into effect on Sept. l, but
the city officials were enjoined from
inforcing the law. To make a possi-
BILE dissolution of the injunction the
city has given notice of the order to
be inforced until the fever is wiped
out.
Five cases and two deaths are re-
n0rfnd

Boston, Sept. 29.-The republican
state convention met today. The
platform stands for a firm but moder-
ate foreign policy, extension of the
merit system in civil service, and
more stringent immigration and nat
uralization laws.
The only declaration of a financial
plank is by inference in favor of the
gold standard, and consists of rhet-
orical arraignment of Bryan, Debs
and Altgeld as the exponents of free
silver. For the rest the platform
deals with state and local issues.

The Savannah Committee Reports
Officially on Brunswick's
Sewerage.
VARRING GETS THE CONTRACT.
The Full Text of the Interesting Report Made
by the Investigating Board to the
Savannah Council.

The following is the official report
made by the Savannah investigating
committee to the city council on
Brunswick's sewerage. 1t resulted in
the adoption by Savannah of the War
ing system and the signing of con-
tract for the same:
Savannah, Ca, Sept. 2S.-To the
honorable, the board of aldermen, city
of Savannah, Ca: Dear sirs-In pur-
suance of your request that we should
visit Brunswick, inspect the sewerage
system constructed there and inYestl-
gate the correctness of the report sub
mitted to your honorable body, to the
effect that the Waring system had de-
veloped some weakness there, was
proving burdensome to the taxpayers
and was not altogether satisfactory to
the city, your committee begs to re-
port that they left for Brunswick a
few hours after your meeting ad-
journed, and spent Saturday evening
and Sunday morning there.
We were met at the hotel on our ar
rival by the Hon. Owens johnson
mayor; Senator Harry F. Dunwody
ex-mayor; Hon. A. j. Crovatt, ex-
mayor; Hon. E. Fl. Mason, ex-mayor
DR.. j. A. Butts, chairman sanitation
committee; DR., D. B. Atkinson, chair
man public works committee DIR. H
Burford, president board of health; a
V. Wood, secretary board of health
MIR. Charles s. Wylly, city engineer
Mr.. Green, chief sanitary inspector
ex-Alderman Frank D. Aiken and 9TH
ers, with whom we discussed at length
the system and its workings, and from
them and others we learned:
That practically ne complaints have
ever been made by the citizens, ex-
ceptlng those who did not want to
pay water rent. That the people
generally were entirely satisfied with
1t. That the present trouble is with
the pumping station and not with the
sewerage system. That the cost to the
city for repairs, since the system had
been accepted by them, some two and
half years ago, would not exceed
5000 to $3.50, and that they, in their
opinion, almost every citizen of
Brunswick endorsed it and were fully
satisfied with it so far as the house
drainage was concerned.
On the following morning we made
personal examination of the flush
tanks, sewers, etc., which fully corro-
borated and confirmed the informa-
tion given US on the evening previous.
We, therefore, beg to repeat our
recommendation that the Waring sys-
tenn be adopted here and urge that ar
rangements be made to begin and com
plete the work with as little delay as
possible.
We have number of letters from Of
ficials and prominent citizens of
Brunswick, indorsing the system, but
as they are all On the line as set forth
above, we don't think it necessary to
lengthen this report by incorporating
them in 1t, but desire to say that they
are in the possession of your commit
tee and subject to your call if desired.
The report was signed by T. S.
Wylly, jr., chairman; w. w. Owens,
Z. j. Davis and John w. Smith.

SHE IS BETTER.

But Atlanta's Yellow Fever Patient is Still
Very III.
Atlanta, Sept. 29.-The condition OF
little Carrie Fleming, who is sick with
yellow fever at 119 Auburn avenue, is
an improvement on what it was yes

however, and nothing definite can be
given in regard to her case.
DR.. Olnstead paid her his regular
visit today and found her to be i'm

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-12

The immigrants of the Kanai Maru,
according to indications up to the
present seem to be rather unlikely
lot. Had not the Government put down
its foot firmly and established prece-
dent these very undesirable immi-
grants would have been foisted upon
us. There was much discussion as to
the policy of the Government at the
time. 1t was urged that we might
embroil ourselves with Japan, and
that we need not look to the United
States to help us. The Star urged the
forcing of the issue and the wisdom of
the advice is plain now. We are able
to keep out an undesirable class of
immigrants, we are not very likely to
have embroiled ourselves with Japan,
and the United States have shown
willingness to help us. All o. which
comes from feeling assured one is
right and then going ahead, no mat
ter what people may say.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-12

rbe breaking out OF varioloid among
the immigrants on board the "Kinai
Maru" only shows our health authori-
ties how utterly useless it is to de-
pend upon the word of steamship
companies. With tramp vessels bring
ing immigrants from infected ports
the passengers should be put under an
eighteen days quarantine under any
circumstances. What we have to do
is to protect our own health. We do
not want another set back to business
such as the cholera gave us in Sep
TENDER and October of 1895. These
japanese immigrants are giving us no
end of trouble one way and another.
Not only do they take up the time of
officials in examining them, but they
now lock them up in Quarantine. The
Government will be minus its Minister
of Foreign Affairs, its Attorney Cen
eral and its Collector General, as these
officials are now in quarantine. But
that is, after all, not so much matter.
The important thing is the health of
the people and that must be protect
ed at all costs.

There should be something more
permanent done here to commemorate
the sixtieth anniversary of the reign
of Queen Victoria, than a mere good
time. At the time of the Jubilee, in
1887, it was proposed to endow a bed
in the hospital, Something of a sim
liar character should be proposed.
Times have been prosperous with a
large number of the British commun-
ity here, and something that can be
looked back to by the children and
grandchildren of the British resi-
dents here would be a thoroughly eX-
cellent idea. Balls, picnics, races and
so forth are eminently proper and are
a pleasant remembrance to those who
take part in them, but there should be
memorial that would last.

sure the world as to the attitude of
the United States towards these
islands. The slightest supposition of
a difficulty with a foreign power and
the United States navy is going to be
on hand to see what il means. The
foreign policy of the United states
under the Mckinley Government is
going to be aggressive in those spheres
which it regards as peculiarly its own,
and the Hawaiian Islands it regards
as peculiarly its own. Should the
"Naniwa" steam in the "Philadelphin"
will be here to talk to her and her
countrymen, if necessary. That there
will be no trouble is quite probable,
but the United States Government as
serts itself nevertheless.

VOTE OF CENSURE.

\ few days ago The Star said there
would be lively times in the House of
Commons in England over the Cretdn
affair. They have started and now
must be in full swing. The lie ,ding
spirit against the policy of the Brit
is Government in it's policy with
regard to the Eastern question is La
bouchere, who is one of the most bril-
liant speakers in the House. His
speech was an Indictment, and, after
Mr.. Balfour has given MS explanation
of the Government policy, which up to
the early part of April he had stead
lily refused to co it, will be followedup
by a vote of censure. The vote of cen
sure will be carried by Il large major
colleagues frC IN the mess hey are IN
and convince the country no large of
the wisdom of the steps taken
The attitude of the London "Times'
is also very significant 1t has turned
on its writer's on the SUBJECT of inter-
national law, and shows that there
can be no blocalde without a declara-
ton of war. To blockade the ports of
Crete and Greece when they have not
declared war upon either is therefore
thoroughly illogical, and any vessel
captured by the squadrons would be
entitled to heavy damages. 1t urges
that the blockade should be defed.
The whole position, however, is il
/ logical The statement was made in
the House of Commons that the Pow
ers were not siding with Turkey, but
that they were defending the Mahom-
medan Cretans i. e. Turks, from the
| Christian Cretans. If their poor hearts
are wrung to this extent why were
! they not wrung when the Armenians
were massacred. The Powers need
| not have "sided with the Armenans'
/ but they might have defended them
! from the Turks.
Should the decisive step of bloclkad
ing the Greek ports take place war i:
assured For the Greeks are deter
mined to cross the frontier and attacl
Turkey. The conundrum still remains
who is behind Greece?
