When Executive Officer Reynolds
stated at the Board of Health meet .
ing yesterday afternoon that he hal
been out to see Minister of Foreign \r-
fairs Cooper at the Castle home in
Waikiki that morning, there was con.
sternation i'm camp. Mr.. Lansing
looked at DR.. Day and Mr.. Brown
turned pale as he riveted his eyes ON
DR.. Wood, the acting president Of the
prise had worn off and then there was
fun.
And do you mean to tell us thai
you have been at the Castle placer
enquired Mr.. Lansing as he drew his
chair away from the Executive officer.
YES" replied Mr.. Reynolds.
"Was the Minister inside and were
you on the outside of the house,"
NO, we were not many feet away
"Couldn't you work the telephone"
interposed member Brown.
Il needed the Minister'S signature 10
some important papers and couldn't
very well get them over the 'olc-
phone" was the executive officer re-
ply.
'Well, all have to say is that Ma
lister Cooper had better resign and let
somebody else do his work and sign
the important papers until this small

After Mr.. Brown had said this Dr..
Wood explained that there was no
danger until some one at the Castle
place had a chill, backache, fever or
headache. These were symptoms of
smallpox. But still there was rumbl-
inA. Some member remarked that it
was a shame and a disgrace that the
quarantine at the Castle residence
should be nothing more or less than a
farce. The clerks and employees of all
the different departments of which
Minister Cooper and Collector General
Castle were at the head were running
out to Waikiki with papers and mes
sages at all hours of the day. There
was no attempt to shut off outside
communication.
Then DR.. Day secured the chair
mans attention and he made a motion
that a guard be stationed at the prem
Uses, one during the day and another
at night, to keep watch on the Castle
place. No one should be allowed to
enter and no one permitted to leave
except on written order from the
acting president of the Board OF
Health, DR.. Wood.
DR.. Wood was instructed to confer
with Mr.. Hedemann, of the Honolulu
Iron Works, for the purpose of dis
cussing plans for the construction o.
a crematory at the quarantine station
if only temporary affair. These pre-
cautions were taken at the suggestion
of Mr.. Lansing, who believed that tn,

The Japanese man-of-war, reported
to be en- route to Honolulu, will b.
quarantined in the harbor immediate

Upon motion of DR.. Day all steerag

Yellow Jack Threatens to Stop Traffic En-
tirely-Sftuation Panicky.
AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 13.-The most
serious situation now confronting the
people of Texas is the almost complete
blockading of travel, owing to the yell
low fever scare. Many trains on all
the principal lines have been aban-
doned, and local lines have stopped
running entirely. Both divisions of
the Houston & Texas Central and the
Southern Pacific have been tied up
most effectually, not single wheel
moving, save in the extreme
northern portion of the state.
Every small town in the state is
rapidly organizing shotgun quaran-
tines, SO trains cannot stop except at
the big cities. The situation in the
entire state is highly panicky, and the
feeling is one of growing alarm and
apprehension. Unless the situation is
soon relieved, the entire southern and
central portion of the state will be
practically without any railroad facili-
ties, as all trains will be stopped.
A dispatch from New Orleans says:
The fever situation grew no worse
here yesterday, but at the same time
there is no rift yet showing through
the clouds, and the promise is not
bright for an immediate re-opening of
the avenues of industry. There has
been for some time general impress
sion that the fever was confined solely
to the houses of the poor. But it has
likewise found its way into the houses
of the rich, and there are handsome
mansions from which the ugly red and
yellow flags hang.
Surgeon General Wyman's bulletin
on the yellow fever situation shows
that new cases have occurred at the
following places: At Mobile, 8, Biloxi,
IL; Edwards, 10, and at Clinton, Miss,
1. At McHenry, Miss. the total num-
Der of cases to date has been IL. At

STABBED WITH A HAT PIN.

Young Man Fatally Hurt by a Young Lady
Whose Name He Refuses to DivuIge.
HASTINGS, Neb., Oct 12.-Herbert
Crow, young business man, was
fatally stabbed by a young woman of
this city, the girl using her hat pin.
The steel entered the young mans
side and broke off. The physicians
have been unable to remove the lost
portion. The weapon used was in the
shape of a toy dagger. The victim re-
fuses to give the name of the girl who
did the deadly work or the cause for
the same. He was on the street when
he called to passing cabman and was
carried to a physician. The doctors
say he will die. but he continues to re-
fuse to disclose the name of the girl
who gave him his death wound 1t is
said he was struck by his sweetheart,
in jealous rage over another young
lady, both being daughters of prom
inent Hastings families.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-MiSS Clara Bar

Cross society, who has just returned
from the international Red Cross con-
ference at Vienna, said that, excepting
this country, the leading nations had
passed laws protecting the title and
insignia of the Red Cross. On this
point Miss Barton said:
There are 2S4 persons, corporations and firms
who using the name of the Red Cross
trade mark for private gain, and there are in
Vulnerable bodies of people here who have
founded Red Cross societies for local purposes
and who are in no way connected with the gem
eral organization 1t sad to confess that
up to the present time the American congress
has passed law for the protection of the
sacred emblem of humanity and taken no steps
to keep it from being degraded The Red Cross
delegates were amazed to learn that the
wealthy men of the great republic had not
richly endowed their own Red Cross, nor would
they understand why our congress had not pro-
hibited by stringent laws the prostitution Of

ONLY FROST WILL STOP IT.

Efforts to Stamp Out the Yellow Fever
Plague Beset by Discouragements.
NEW ORLEANS, Get. 12.-From the re-
turns there is little hope in the yellow
fever situation. The board of health
is daily demonstrating that with a fair
show it is possible for modern science
to restrict and stamp out the disease.
But the people who must suffer from a
strict application of scientific meth
DDS rebel, the result being that
the pathway of the board is be-
set with difficulties. If there was
strict compliance with the health
laws, if prompt report was made of
cases, the fever germs would be quick
ly wiped out. But it begins to look
now as if from so to 40 new cases and
from four to six deaths would be daily
reported until jack frost puts in an ap-

CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-Private Charles
Hammond, charged with being absent
without leave, was tied by the feet by
order of Capt. Leonard A. Loveing and
dragged 600 yards by four members of
the guard. The gallant captain fol-
lowed behind and prodded the almost
insensible soldier with his sword,
drawing blood at every thrust. A deep
furrow marked by blood was left where
Hammond's body had been dragged.
The enlisted men who witnessed the
barbarity were in a state bordering on
mutiny, and dispersed only when told
by their non-commissioned officers that
Hammond would have a fair showing.

Race War in Schools at Alton, Ill, Breaks
Out With Renewed vigor.
ALTON, Ill, Oct 12.-The race war at
the Alton public schools broke out
afresh yesterday morning. Last week
the colored people ceased sending their
children to the schools for the whites,
supposedly awaiting a decision from
the courts. The police guards, accord
ingly, were withdrawn. Yesterday
morning the colored children ap-
peared, and with a rush overpowered
the janitor, struck the lady principal
down and took seats in school. The
police were summoned and elected
them, and school was held the rest of
the day with the police guarding the
doors The board of education will
this week appoint truant officer, who
will attempt to make the co1ored chill
dren attend the schools especially set
apart for them. Serious trouble seems
imminent, as the colored parents are
persistent in sending their children to
the white schools.
