Princess Kaiulani. The remaining pic
lures are of buildings i'm the city, views
i'm the vicinity. waterfalls on the vari-
Gus Islands, the Volcano of Kilauea,
the Volcano road, views around Hilo.
of which snow capped Mauna Loa is
especially good. The whole forms an
excellent Christmas gift to send to

DR.. MONSARRAT HONORED
MADE SECRETARY VETERINARY
ASSOCIATION.
Will Represent Hawaii Before the Big
National Body-Appointment Follow
ed Trip to Manila.

DR.. w. Y. Monsarrat, local veterinary
surgeon ard inspector of animals for
the Board of Health, has been honored
by the American Veterinary Medical
Association. BY Wednesdays mail he
received two letters and a batch of
general matter from the organization.
The first letter appointed him a member
of the association and the second ap-
pointed him resident secretary of the
body in the Hawaiian Islands.
DR. Monsarrat is requested to examine
the papers and return his acceptance
of the Office. If he decides to accept
he is to sign the constitution, a copy
of which is enclosed. The office will be
accepted.
The American Veterinary Association
is a national institution. with members
and officers from Maine to California.
The head office of the general secretary
is at Kansas City. Meetings of the
national body are held usually every
year. The scope of the work carried on
is great and is of national Importance.
The business is conducted like that of
medical associations.
DR.. MonSarrat's appointment Is due
in a large measure to his recent trip
to Manila for the United States Gov
ernment. He went down with a large
shipment OF horses and was specially
successful in delivering the animals at
their destination free of disease. For
this he received honorable mention and
the thanks of the War Department.
This attracted the notice of the Veteri-
nary Association and the appointment

BUBON|C PLAGUE SUSPECT
THE NIPPON MARU HELD AT
QUARANTINE IN KOBE.
Difficulty Experienced in Getting Her
at Dock Here-The Athenlan Does
Not Move Away.

The japanese steamship Nippon Ma
ru, which arrived last night from Yo-
kohama, was held at Kobe in quaran-
tine on account of suspected case OF
the buooniC plague on board. The
suspect was a Chinaman who took pas
sage on the vessel at Hongkong. In
vestigation satisfied the officers that the
case was not one of the plague, and the
steamship was allowed to continue her
trip.
The Nippon brought 676 immigrants
here. They were taken to the quaran-
tine station this morning, the work be-
ginning at daylight and being all done
by about 10 o'clock. Their condition
was found to be good, on the whole,
and there were no suspicious cases of
sickness among them.
There was no dock for the Nippon
Maru when she was sighted twenty
miles west yesterday afternoon. The
transport Athenian was at the Pacific
Mail wharf. She had moved once, for
the Hongkong Maru, and it was decid-
ed that she need not delay herself by
getting out of the way again. The Nip
pom Maru was therefore taken to the
Oceanic wharf and if the Alameda had
been in port before 10 o'clock this morn
ing she would have had to wait for the
Togo Kisen- Kaisha vessel to get out OF
the way.
The Nippon is much too big for the
Oceanic wharf and there was great
difficulty in getting a gangplank in
position, owing to her great height
above the dock. The plank as it was
this morning had it's bottom step about
four feet from the dock, and the climt
on board was no easy one.

H|LO'S NEW POSTOFF|CE.
GOVERNMENT WILL ACT ON IT
NEXT WEEK.
Waiting for Details Concerning the
Site Selected by Citizens-The Sever
ance Lot.

Judge Gardner X. Wilder has seen
the Government on the matter of the
new post office and custom house for
Hilo and secured a postponement of
the matter until after the arrival of the
Kinau tomorrow. BY the last mail he
wrote to the Hawaii town requesting
the people to decide definitely upon a
site for the building and to submit a
detailed statement of costs of site, etc.
1t is expected that another meeting
was held and that the information re-
quired will arrive tomorrow afternoon.
1t may be remarked that Postmaster
Severance has a fourteen-year lease of
the lot selected at the last meeting.
The site is unquestionably central, but
the Hilo contingent in town fear that
the cost of the lease will be too great.
They point out that If it is necessary
to pay $2500 for it, as has been rumor-
ed, it would be better to select a cheap
er place, even If it is not so central.
The appropriation is only $4,000 ami
the Hilo citizens feel that as much of
this as possible should go into the
| building itself.
The Government has firmly decided
| that the appropriation will be expend
ed and that Hilo shall have the build
ing. The argument that it would be
better to hl lid than to wait many years
for the department at Washington to
get around to the matter was carried.
Everybody saw, and sees, the logic of
| it. There will be no one to kick against
| the expenditure, although the building
will become central government prop
erty eventually.
