FINE PROGRAM

Last night the Orpheum presented a
fine bill. The minstrel first part was
excellent, new songs and jokes being
introduced. Mr.. Hearde, the comedian,
gave a very satisfactory performance.
He is a clever singer of coon songs and
a good dancer. "Travelle" still keeps
the audience guessing with his wonder
full egg trick. The Wilards introduced
some new selections which We're en-
cored. Miss Dixon is making a hit i'm
her great coon song who's Lady is
You" Mr.. Hill was in grand voice and
very kindly responded to several en-
cores. Armstrong and O'Neill appeared
in a comedy act entitled "The New Tel
ephone." Mr.. Armstrong is as clever
comedian as he is a boxer.

STATE FUNERAL ARRANGED mo ARMY COAL EH HND DESTROY THE MU OUTBREAK Of CHAMBERS
ATTEMPT MADE AT THE WHARF
LAST NIGHT.
Engines Started at Full Speed After
Dark When no one Was Aboard
Disasters Averted.

An attempt to destroy the Wilder
Steamship Kinau was made after dark
last night by some unknown person
whom the officers of the company
would like very much to find The
vessels engines We're started at full
speed when there was no enc on board
and a very serious disaster might
have resulted had it not been for the
watchman on shore, who telephoned
to Captain Clark. If the Kinau had
broken loose she would certainly have
been damaged If not completely de-
stroyed and she might have gone
steaming into the harbor without a
soul on board, crashing into other YES
sells and ending her journey on the
reef.
The Wilder Company will give $500
for information about the perpetrator
of the deed He is a man familiar
with the vessel and having a knowl-
edge of machinery and Captain Clark
thinks he is not a native. The manner
by which he accomplished his purpose
showed careful preparations to get
away from the scene before the NOV
ing machinery attracted attention.
The unknown climbed on board and
got below through the hatch. After
making his way into the engine room
he tied a cord around the throttle, car
rying one end back with him when he
| returned to the wharf, so that he was
able to start the engine from the
shore, by pulling the string. He pull
| ed to the limit, turning on full speed
and then fled
! The watchman found the steamer
| tugEing hard at her hawsers and
straining every fastening. Luckily she
! was trying to go forward, in which
! direction the ropes could not give
Had she been started the other way it
is the opinion of the officers that she
would have got loose and struck the
Maui just opposite and two of the
| largest island steamers might have
gone to the bottom together.
Captain Clark was telephoned for at
about nine o'clock. He hurried to the
wharf with Chief Engineer A. " In
man and the company's superintend-
ing engineer, Mr.. Kay. The officers
went on board with all possible speed
and the chief shut off the steam. a
| careful search Of the boat was made
in the hope that the man who had
done the job might be found, but the
only trace of him was the string he
had left tied to the throttle.
This morning the sailing of the
Kh.au was postponed till five O'clock
in order that an examination of her
machinery might be made An inspec-
ton showed that no damage had been
done. THE company will give $500 for
Information about the man who start
cd the engines" said Captain Clark
Il have not the least idea of who could
have done it or what could have been
the motive. 1t was the work of a
white man. in my opinion. He knew
the vessel well and understood her
machinery"

HISTORICAL IDEAS.

An amusing example of the straits to
which sculptors are reduced in their eff
forts to embody historical ideas in en-
blematic forms is afforded says the
Boston Transcript, by the composition
symbolizing THE East Indies" by
Charles A. Lopez-the group being one
of those which will embellish the ap-
proach to the Dewey arch in New York.
In the center is the figure of the re-
pubic, a noble creature, with wings,
helmet and ample draperies. She is
standing and extending both arms in a
protecting manner over two docile Fill
pinos who sit at her feet

FIVE AFFLICTED HORSES ARE
SHOT.
Prompt measures are Taken 60 Stamp
out the Dreaded Disease and Care
full Watch is Kept

Five horses that were afflicted with
glanders have been shot i'm local
stable, three of them yesterday, and
liverymen and horseN owners in town
are exercising rigid care to avoid an
epidemic of the dreaded disease. The
animals were thought to be suffering
with the epizootic trouble that is COM
mon at this time until they We're eN-
amined by a veterinary surgeon, who
promptly reported that there was in
cipient glanders and the horses were
killed at once.
Chambers is a particularly dangerous
disease i'm this climate, horses being
specially liable to infection and an
epidemic would mean some very serl-
Gus losses. There is no hope for a
horse that has glanders and it is a
menance to every other animal and to
human beings as well, for the disease
is communicable to man. Several
deaths occur every year in the states
from glanders, caught by men who at
tend horses. 1t iss one of the most
frightful deaths that can be conceived.
An afflicted horse may work for years
and appear fairly well but at any time
the disease is liable to become acute.
| There was an epidemic here some
years ago and great difficulty was ex-
perienced in stamping it out.
The epizootic trouble that has been
spreading IdIely is sui prevalent Inc
doctors describe it as acute influenza,
| in most cases with traces of pneu-
monia. 1t is believed to be not con-
tagious an due simply to climatic con-
/ ditions. The principal symptom is a
| cough, which may be heard many
| times a day in the streets. No fatal
cases are reported and the horses APP
pear to get well after passing through
a period of high fever and weakness
! Some of the owners We're inclined tC
| think that particles of salt from the
| street-sprinkling affected the animals
throats and made them cough, but
cases are reported of horses being af-
| flicted in outside districts, without
! their having been in Honolulu
The need of exercising greater care
in admitting horses that are shipped
here is being discussed as a result OF
the outbreak of CHAMBERS and the other
| trouble.

SUCCESSOR TO MR.. KING
URGENT NEED OF AN EARLY
APPOINTMENT
officials ana Business Men Think Pres
ident Dole Can Fill the Vacancy.
Case of Mott-Smith

The death of Minister King has plac-
ed most important department of the
Government in an awkward position
and at the most important season of
the biennial period at that. Just at
present the Interior Office has upon its
hands some of its largest contracts. 1t
is necessary that a minister direct this
business, signing contracts vouchers,
etc.
Now arises the question of whether or
not President Dole has the authority
to appoint a successor 10 Minister King.
Instructions on this point are not very
clear and since the public lands procla-
nation the Hawaiian officials feel rath-
er timid about getting on uncertain
ground.
Il think the President has full author
ity to make the appointment" said
Minister Mott-Smith. LAS yet l have
given no especial thought to the sub
jeCt, but l remember that 1 was ap-
pointed to my present office, offhand.
/ by President Dole. That would seem
to be a substantial precedent"
Attorney Cooper holds much
| the same view. Both officials admit
! the absolute necessity of an early ap-
! pointment. Mr.. Damon being absent.
| it is next to impossible to have one Of
! the other ministers act, there being but
! two such officials now here and Attor-
! ney-General Cooper is now acting Min
! lister of Finance.
A. V. Gear of Gear. Lansing & Com
| pany was of the opinion that the ap-
! pointment of a minister here by Presi-
| dent Dole was the only course
| ''As far as reColect the in
struCtiOns from Washington, said
| Mr., Gear, the orders We're to go ahead
as in the past in the matter of ap-
| pOintmeuts. That leaves the matter in
! Mr. Doles hands and I do not know
! that he needs to wait and consult the
! President at Washington. There is a
| great deal of work to be done in a short
time in the office of Minister of the In
! terror and the situation calls for a man
who knows about the work and can go
ahead rapidly. As far as the method of
| choosing him goes. | see no other way
than for Mr.. Dole to consult with his
Cabinet and make a selection, as here
tofore"
w. o. Smith was also of the opinion
that the appointment must be made
here. The question was settled at the
time of the appointment of Mr.. Mott
smith said Mr.. Smith. president
Dole will name the new minister. as
then, and the selection will be subject
to President McKinley's approval"

COL. RUHLEN BORROwS FROM
THE NAVY.
Enormous Quantities Taken Away BY
Tran rsports-Nearly Thirty Thousand
Tons Coming.

The last of the United States Army
store of coal in Honolulu was loaded on
the transport City of Para yesterday
afternoon and Colonel Ruhlen is now
borrowing from the navy. He had pre-
viously taken 200O tons of navy coal to
supply. the extraordinary demand
caused by the heavy shipment of troops.
More transports are coming, so that
there will be more heavy calls upon the
navy supply and if expected coal ves-
sells do not arrive soon the navy sup
ply will begin to look short.
All of the transports, big and little,
that have called here recently have
taken on coal. The Para took 450 tons,
the Zealanda 300 and the Sikh, Rio de
Janeiro and Valencia have called re-
spectively for 900, 800 and 400 tons,
making a total of $500 tons of coal
needed by vessels that were in port all
at once. The army had a large store of
coal at the foot of Fort street when
the business began, but now there is
only a level space where it was.
The navy has not any too much
coal here" said Colonel Ruhlen, but
we are drawing upon it because such
| action is unavoidable. Arrivals of
shipments will begin soon and then
there will be no more trouble about
| shortage, We are not likely to have
| any difficulty in getting transports
| off,
| If the quantity of coal taken out OF
| Honolulu by the army steamships is
enormous, it is insignificant in com
! parison with the shipments that are
| coming in. During the next three
months about twenty-one thousand
| tons are to arrive for the army anC
! about six thousand tons for the navy
With these shipments expected the
prospect for a continuance of very
! lively times on the water front is very
