DISAVOWS BILL FOR CHINESE
HELD HERE.
No Appropriation With Which to Ii
quidate Such Claims-Chinese Who
Returned Want Damages

Who shall play the expense of detain-
ing the large number of Chinese in
quarantine here last winter under the
claim of Agent Brown that they were
not entitled to a landing in Hawaii?
This is a question just now disturb
ing the dreams of the Hawaiian Cabi-
net. Uncle Sam says he'll be blankety
blank If he'll pay a blank cent. The
Board of Health Corresponded with the
Central Government about the matter,
and found there was no appropriation
for such expenses.
That was a sumner. The Board Of
Health decided it should not foot the
bill and referred the matter to The Min
| lister of Interior who passed ii N to the
Cabinet. This morning the Cabinet re-
| ferred the matter to the attorney gem
eral for an opinion as to who is liable.
1t may be stated that in the numerous
ramifications of the bills. Hackfeld &
| Company, the steamer agents, refused
to recognize them.
The claims are held by numerous mer-
| chants and others about town and are
| for food and other supplies furnished
| for the Cinnamon while they were held
for very long period on Mauliola. The
total expense of quarantine is about
| $4,000.
| Another claim in the same connection
| has come in today. 1t will be remem-
bered at the time the Chinese were be-
! ing held up Wholesale, by Agent Brown,
| several men turned about and went
| back to China. A short time later they
heard that their Hawaiian permits were
good and that the ruling of Mr.. Brown
| was not sustained. Some of the men
| came back a second time to Honolulu.
The new claims are by these men and
| are for steamer passage from and back
| to China. They are presented by the
| Chinese Consul, and will, of course, go
to the Government at Washington. As
all of the claims are not yet included,
the amount can not yet be gotten at.
The Cabinet this morning finally de-
cided to make the exchange of land
| with w. r. Castle of which mention
has already been made.
1t was decided to put up half acre
lot of fish land in Eva at public auc-
| ton.

WANT LOCAL EXAMINERS
SHIPPING MEN ARE OPPOSED TO
COAST BOARD.
Inspector of Boilers and Hulls a Neces-
sity-Ohicers Appointed Now win
Doubtless be Reconnaissance

The fate of the City of Columbia en-
phaSzes the Importance of the Hawaii
an Government appointing shipping Of
hcers for this port at once" said deep
sea skipper this morning.
when here two months ago l talked
about this matter. Everybody agreed
with me, but nothing was done. Had
there been an official inspection of boil
ers and hulls at Honolulu, the Columbia
would never have gone to sea. She
would have been put in dry dock and
kept there until seaworthy. Every man,
woman, child and Chnaman, knew the
Columbia was in no condition to start
for HOngkong. Yet there was no Off
cial and no regulation to stop her.
Il have asCertained that this Govern
ment has the power to appoint shipping
officers without special legislation. That
being the case. self-preservatlon, if
nothing else, would Justify the act. Let
the Government select a first-class In
spector of boilers and hulls. The best
in the world can be found right here.
Nine chances to one the United States
will, next year. continue the commission
of the same man; while it is nine chan
ces to one that if there is not an inspec-
tor here San Francisco man, perhaps
not half so competent, will be sent
down.
The same applies with sea captains
and engineers. Honolulu board of
examiners should be appointed from
which officers could obtain certificates.
A San Francisco board would know as
much about the information an Island
skipper required as a Honolulu board
would know about steering a raft down
the Nile. 1t is dead certain-a hundred
to none shot-that if there is not a
board of examiners already here the
American Government will appoint
Coast men. There are hundreds of fell
lows over there, with pull, waiting for
just such a job to turn up"
Considerable interest in this matter
is manifested all along the front. The
preference seems to be unanimously on
the side of local examiners.

AN UGLY YSTABB|NG AFFAIR
JAPANESE KNIFES A FELLOW
COUNTRYMAN.
Cuts Him Three Times in the Head and
Then Plunges Knife to the Hit in His
Back

There was a serious stabbing affair
at Kahaluu shortly after o'clock last
evening. A Japanese named Teloa is
in the hospital with deep knife wound
in the back and three ugly cuts on the
head. Though he Is seriously injured,
he has more than fighting chance of
life.
His assailant is a man named Maid
ava. Prior to last night the men were
friends. Miadawa keeps lodging
house. Telao went there on a visit to
an acquaintance. The men became in
volved in a row and in a minute the
cutting was done.
Witnesses say that Maidawa rushed
on his man with the knife and slashed
him first across the top of the head.
Two jabs followed in the same region.
This laid the man out when the knife
was plunged into his back just below
the neck, nearly to the hilt. The latter
is the dangerous wound.
The loss of blood in q short time was
enormous. There was great excitement
among the Japanese about the matter.
| The assailant was arrested and locked
up. This morning the wounded man
was removed to the hospital. He had
| private surgical attention last night.
| 1t Is understood that the injured man
works for Henry Macfarlane at Ahui-
manu-. The assailant's lodging house
has not very good reputation at best
| This is another of the long series of
stabbing affairs and murders that have
occurred among the Japanese In the
| past year. Several cases are to come
before this term of the circuit court
and this will make one for the next
| term

NOW READY FOR BUSINESS
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES FULLY
ORGANIZED.
Mrs. Berger, Business Head of the In
stitution-Preparing Stationary and
Looking for Offices in Town

At the meeting of the Associated
Charities of Hawaii held yesterday ar
rangements for beginning work at once
were completed. In a very few days
now all the business of the project will
be in full swing.
Mrs. Berger, formerly of Kamehame-
ha school, who has been chosen busi-
ness manager of the work, was present
and reported on her mission to the
mainland for the purpose of studying
the system. She described the methods
of several cities. In a number of places
she spent her time with the managers
and was around the cities with the out
side workers. Forms of books and sta =
tionery were presented and adopted.
These were selected from the lot exam
ined by Mrs Berger in the East.
1t was decided to secure a suite of
rooms, in some convenient locality for
headquarters. These will be occupied
in the forenoons by Mrs. Berger, at
which time she will receive applica-
tions for aid The afternoons will be
devoted to investigating these applica-
tions and looking up other cases re-
ported.
For the present Mrs. Berger will be
the sole working official of the associa-
ton. She will be the only salaried mem
Der. AS the work increases and cash on
hand warrants, others may be employ
shall be to assist in caring for the sick
or needy, by paying calls, giving flow
ers, etc, will be enlisted from time tc
time.
President Dole and Mrs. Berger are
on the committee to secure suitable
rooms. They hope to find what is re-
quired in the town center.
In the opinion of many people there is
just now pressing demand for the As.
SOCiated Charities as a protective in
stitutiOn Never before has there been
so much begging in the city. The beg
gars are said to be all strangers. who
have drifted into the country in various
ways. Whether they are professional
dead beats or worthy people it is i'm
possible, with present facilities, to tell
1t is known that a number of able bodi.
ed men are living upon the charities OF
the town.
One of the important duties of the as.
sociation will be to find work for the
latter class.

OREGON SOUVENIR

A neatly gotten up souvenir of TYP
ical Scenes in Oregon and Washington
has been issued by Peaslee Brothers of
Portland, Oregon. The descriptions of
the cities and the scenery of the states
are well and Crisply written, and the
statistical portions seem to be full and
accurate. There is evidently large
and important Chinese and japanese
population in Portland some of the
members of which are extremely
wealthy. The engravings are of a high
class and geographically it is an ele-
giant example of the printers art, re-
ileCting great credit on the firm which
has put forth the souvenir.

ANOTHERRA|LNAY SCHEME

The Hawaii Railroad Company has
been asked to name price for its prop
erty. In fact two different parties have
asked for a price.
The railroad runs from Mahukona
around the northwest corner of the ISL
and of Hawaii to Nuilii. Nearly all the
Kohala plantations are tributary to it
and it controls the landing at Mahuko-
ma, one of the best landings on that
side of the Island. II was one of the
early railroads of the Islands.
The proposition to build a road from
Hilo to the west coast of Hawaii has
thrown the Hawaii railroad into new
relations with traffic. and it is believed
greatly increased its value.
The identity of the parties who have
asked for a price on the property is not
diSClNSpl.

MIR. SCOTT BETTER.
Improves Slightly After an Operation
Last Night.

John F. Scott, who sustained a severe
stroke of paralysis Tuesday night,
shortly after landing from the Moana,
Is slightly better today though Is still
in a very serious condition. His right
side is completely gone and he is still
unconscious.
Last night there was a consultation
of physicians and it was decided to try
bleeding. This seemed to have a bene-
fetal effect, for the patient was notably
better before morning. The hope of the
physicians is now based upon the physi-
cal strength of Mr.. Scott, which Is much
in his favor. A weaker constitution
would have succumbed during last
night, if not before.
The misfortune of Mr. Scott is deeply
regretted by his many friends in the
city. There have been numerous callers
at the Queen hotel in Nuuanu street,
where the patient is lying

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

The summer school continues to be
well attended and much interest is
manifested. The exhibit of school work
attracts considerable attention. The
talks by Miss Flora Cooke and Miss
Baber have proven of especial interest
to teachers and others. Prof Hits talks
on drawing and the methods of teaching
it and particularly on the subject of
color have been one of the features of
the school.
