grand jury appeared before the Governor
this morning and asked him to transmit
to the General Assembly their special
presentments, which had just previously

as a remedy for this a law requiring per
sons before filing a bill for injuncli lion and
receiver against the firm or corporation,
to first enter into good and sufficient bond,
payable to the defendant, in amounts
sufficient to cover damages sustained in
defending the suit, provided the allesa-
lions are not proven or the suit unsuecess-
full.
The second presentment which the
grand jury desires the Legislature to rem
edy is the fee system now in vogue among
county officials They want the officers
of sheriff of the Superior Court, the tax
receiver, tax collector and solicitors of
the Superior Court put ON salaries.
They also appeared before the Commit
tee on County and County Matters this
afternoon in support of the bill of Martin
of Banks on this line.

MEMORIAL DAY IN SAMOA
BRITISH AND GERMANS UNITE
WITH AMERICANS.
Flowers and Honors in Memory of
American, British and German Sol
diers and Sailors Who Fell.

APIA, June 15.-Memorial Day, May
80. was observed this year for the first
time in Samoa. Flags on all the ships
i'm the harbor were lowered to half
mast and on shore the consulates and
other places of business were closed.
At 10 o'clock the British blueiackets
assembled at the main guard house,
and headed by their drum and fife
band, marched on to Mulinuu Point.
On their way to the Point, they were
met at the International Hotel by the
American and German blueiackets.
On reaching the Point, they passed
through a long line of Samoan warri-
ors who had their arms at the shoulder
whilst the bluejackets were passing.
On reaching the graves of those who
had fallen during the war the sailors
were formed in line around them, and
a firing party of Americans took Il
position at the head. After the
graves had been literally covered with
flowers and wreaths that had been
sent, the order was given to load and
the guns Immediately belched forth
three volleys, on the completion of
which the trumpet was heard in the
Last Call. Among those in the grave
were, the Three High Commissioners,
the King, w. l.. Chambers, Chief JUS
tice; the three Consuls; and the cap
tains and officers from the ships-of-
war. On the order being given, the
troops formed in marching order and
marched to the burial ground of the
German sailors who were killed by
the natives some years ago. There
again the same honor was paid by
the American sailors to departed com
rades who had fallen, and a beauti-
full wreath was placed on the monu-
ment which marks the spot where
their bodies lie. The High Commits
sioners also sent a wreath to be placed
on the tomb of the German sailors.
Captain Miller, of the United States
cruiser Badger, took the opportunity
to thank Captain Schrenfelder of the
German cruiser Fake for his kindness
in taking part in their National OBJ
servance. Consul Rose, and the Cap
tain suitably replied, thanking the
Captain of the Badger for the honor
shown to their departed dead. The
order of march was then given, and
they with the band at their head
marched back to Apia, the German
and American bluejackets breaking
off at the International Hotel, the

BOARD OF HEALTH PASSES MORE
STRINGENT RULES.
Quarantine Against San Francisco
and the Orlent-Extra Port Physi-
cian-Freight to be Fumigated.

More stringent measures than ever
before are to be adopted by the Board
of Health toward of infectious dis
eases. The appearance of plague in
China and on the Nippon Maru at this
port has decided the board upon a
course for that side By the last mail
three cases of smallpox in San Fran
cisco were reported.
The former ruling, that all vessels,
including transports, coming from
the Coast shall be boarded by the port
physician, is adhered to. At the meet
ing yesterday the health authorities
went step further and will require
all passengers arriving from San
Francisco to report to the board each
morning for fourteen days from the
date of arrival.
The necessity appearing for an adj
ditional port physician during this pc
Rod of strict quarantine measures,
DIR. Emerson was appointed to assist
DIR. Day. He will act in conjunction
with the present official, consulting
with him i'm case of the appearance of
suspicious cases.
Another measure was a decision to
resume the practice of fumigating
freight from the Orient. The plant at
Pacific Mail wharf will be gotten in
shape again and freight will go direct
ly from steamers into it. If the
plague and danger increase, Pacific
Mail wharf may later be closed and all
vessels from the Orient locked there
and quarantined while in port.
