WHEN CAN WE STEP ON SHORE
AGAIN?"
The Song of the Island Vessel Employees
Why They Are Kept On Board
The Rules Made

The men employed on the Island
steamers are anXiously awaiting an
answer to their petition to the Board
of Health for permission to come
ashore. There is a growing howl all
along the line, and some of the more
rebellious in the lists have tried to get
up an agreement among the men to
quit altogether if they are not released
by April l.
The Island steamers now come up to
within six feet of the wharves, and
receive freight of various kinds, which
is driven to the wharves on open drays
and sprinkled on the wharves. They
also take passengers who have permits
on the wharves and go aboard the
to travel. The passengers simply walk
on the wharves and go aboard the
steamers They are just as likely to
carry infection as those on board would
be If the latter were allowed to visit
their families, it is claimed, and the
confined ones make vigorous comment
as they see the operation of the rules.
Nearly four months on an Island
steamer is no pleasant experience, but
some of the men have not been ashore
since Decmbr IL. They are very closely
watching the motion now before the
Board of Health to ease up a ktte on
the quarantine.
This morning the Helene took a num-
| ber of passengers for Hawaii ports.
The Maui was opposite her at II1nau
wharf. Tt was all right for the pas
| sengers to enter the wharf and go on
| the steamer, but if anyone on board
the steamer had stepped ashore and
gone back, his vessel would have been
subject to quarantine. The same rules
prevailed at the Inter-Island wharf
and apply to all the foreign steamers.
! From the Board of Health point oi
view it would be more dangerous tc
allow the men from the vessels ashore
than to let passengers, who have COM
piled with regulations, go on board. Sc
that the men must stick it out and
their only hope is that the Board will
soon cease to regard Honolulu as an
! infected port, in view of the very small
| number of cases occurring.

nj HAIE FOUR SCHOONERS

The gasoline schooner line of island
vessels conducted by McChesney &
Sons is beginning to be an important
new factor in the inter-island business.
With a second schooner to arrive here
from the coast within month and two
more ordered built, the new line is al
ready getting into shape to do a good
deal of business. The Surprise which
was the first schooner built for Nc
Chesney & Sons, has proved a great
success. Her gasoline power is cheap
and she is capable of making good time
either under sail or by using gasoline.
The second McChesney schooner.
named the Eclipse, is expected here in
about three weeks. She is half as large
again as the Surprise and will be able
to carry over 5000 bags of sugar The
Eclipse will be fitted, like the Surprise,
with plenty of sail capacity and with
| gasoline power as well.
| The new schooners are all expected
here by about within six months Their
combined carrying capacity will con-
stitue a considerable addition to the
inter island freight facilities.

MAJOR POTTER LOSES JAMS AND
JELLIES.
Intended for Paris Exposition-Are
Destroyed by Agents of Health
Board--Will be Replaced.

Major Potter, secretary for Hawaii
tc the Paris Exposition, has had rather
i'll luck with a portion of the exhibit
TO be sent forward for edification of
the French and the world at large.
He had had prepared, with a deal of
trouble and at some expense, a large
assortment of jams, jellies and the like
from Hawaiian fruits. These were
carefully packed in jars and stored at
the New England bakery on Hotel
street to await the departure Of the
exhibit for the exposition.
An evil day came and the New Eng
land bakery was placed in quarantine.
Major Potter began to hustle" imme-
diately for the preservation of his prop
erty. 1t appears that he actually Sc
cured a promise from the health auth
critics that the exhibit would be saved.
But as a matter of fact it was not.
When Mr.. Ingalls, men got around to
the bakery in their campaign of disin-
fection in block 10 about the first thing
they did was to utterly destroy the en-
tire exhibit, aggregating several dozen
Jars.
II am greatly disappointed, Of
course" says Major Potter; but the
loss will not spoil our exhibit. 1 have
given a rush order for more jam and
jellies and expect that it will be ready
by the time I am able to ship the other
articles to go in the Hawaiian booth at
Paris"

IN SUPREME COURT.
Case of DR.. Nichols VS.. Minister Young
Opens Regularly.

The Supreme court began business
regularly this morning. There was no
further question as to the constitution
ality of the body, though this may come
later in other cases For instance, it
is understood that lawyers are prepar-
ing to attack the legality of the court
on the ground that the chief justice has
abandoned his office, and, furthermore,
that he is at best physically disquali-
fed from holding office
The case before the court this morn
ing was that of Dr. A. E. Nichols
against the Minister of Interior, petit
tion for mandamus compelling the de-
fendant to issue articles of incorpora-
ton to the Wahiawa Sugar Company

MUCH DAMAGED CLOTHING PARIS EXHIBIT DESTROYED
MORE CLAIMS FOR THE BOARD
OF HEALTH.
Becky Bishops Kick Is Followed BY
Many Others-Mr Reynolds Opinion
of the Matter.

Complaint is coming from many sides
of damaged wearing apparel on account
of fumigation, and it begins to look as
though Mr. Magoon was about right
in his protest concerning the lingerie
of Rebekah Panee. This afternoon an
other protest will reach the Board of
Health from the same locality-the
block near the naval reservation.
The worst botch made of the work,
however, seems to have been made in
the Mechanics Home. There, mems
fine suits were ruined. Yellow streaks
appeared on coats, which, when touched
would fall in. Nearly everything in
the cottages at the home is injured and
the larger part of the clothing is alb
solutely ruined.
It is claimed by Professor Ingalls,
department, which has the responsible
fty of disinfecting all infected or sus-
pect premises. that only sulphur is
used The report, or published state
ment, that sulphuric acid or other
strong disinfectant was first applied, is
denied. OF the sulphur treatment
Health Agent Reynolds says:
THE story that only sulphur was
used is preporterous on the face of it,
We have been using sulphur for years
for fumigation purposes, and never met
with a case of this sort. 1t is clear
to anyone that sulphur fumes in a room
will not burn holes in articles of cloth
ing. Smoke does not usually do that
I am convinced that. something other
than sulphur was used. Indications
are that there was a powerful disnfec-
tant ahead of the sulphur"
The claims already filed and those tC
| come in win be for cash remuneration
1t is understood that the policy of the
Board of Health will not be to recog.
nize them, but to pass them on to the
court of claims.

AFTER THE CLEVELAND
SHE HAS BEEN ADRIFT NEARLY
TEN DAYS.
The Claudine Starts to the Rescue
From Maui-The Cleveland's Boat
Reaches Hana-Big Salvage in Sight.

The steamers Lehua and Maui arriv-
ed last night with news that the Clau-
dine has gone in search of the dis
abled steamship Cleveland, which, ac-
cording to calculations along the front,
has now been adrift and helpless for
eight or ten days. The small boat from
the Cleveland arrived at Hama last
Wednesday, having one of the mates
and two seamen on board They were
exhausted after their long journey. 1t
was three hundred and twenty miles, a
trip which is supposed to have taken
not less than six days, and which was
attended by no little danger
The latter reports from Maui confirm
the surmise of Pilot Saunders that the
Cleveland was northeast and not north
west of Maui. 1t is suppose that the
mate of the Cleveland furnished Cap
tain Macdonald of the Claudine with
full particulars as to the locat tion of
the lost steamer and the weather that
was prevailing. Judging by the winds
that have prevailed here it is thought
that she will not have moved very
much and that her direction will have
been toward shore.
The Claudine people will be able to
sight the Cleveland if they get within
twenty miles of her, in clear weather
Captain Macdonald will keep a man
at the masthead on the lookout all the
time, day and night. If the steamer
is found she will be brought to Homo
lulu for repairs.
The question of salvage is already
being discussed. 1t is thought by many
that the Wilder Steamship Company
will get q big award, probably as
much as $500 If it's vessel succeeds in
saving the Cleveland and her valuable
cargo of sugar.

WHAT TO DO UNTIL THE DOCTOR
COMES

1t is very hard to stand idy by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor An Albany
IN. " dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his r0kurn. He
also bought a bottle of ChaI1berlain's s
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give relief until the doctor should ar
rive. In a few hours he returned, say
ing the doctor need not come as the
child was much better The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for It from that part of the country.
For sale by all dealers and druggists.

the Council, was printed. The repre-
sentative of the Chinese News said il

burst Of confidence he one day told a
man friend that when tired from his
mathematics the presence of children
and getting his mind into relations with
them rested him greatly. that to play
with them was like an actual material
tonic to his whole system. Lewis Car
