WITH SEWERS
VINCENT G BELsER's LATEST
PROPOSAL.
Will Take the Job of Connecting Sewers
From Property Lines to Houses, AS
sisting the Plumbers.

At the meeting of the Cabinet this
morning Minister Young presented q
proposition from Vincent & Belser to
construct lateral sewers of the city
from property lines to house plumbing.
The proposition is made under condi-
tions. AS it will effect both ends of
any particular contract Minister Young
suggested that the plumbers would first
have to be consulted. The matter was
thereupon referred to Mr.. Young with
power to act.

A RAGE AROUND THE horn
SIX SHIPS OF ONE LINE TO LEAVE
HERE.
Will Try to Reach Home in a Hundred
. Days-Bonus for the Captain Who
Does It.

The captains of six ships here in the
harbor are getting ready to start round
the Horn for New York with cargoes
of sugar and incidentally to race for
the honors of the fastest passage, The
vessels all have the same owner, w. F..
MighelL who is also in port and the
master who gets his ship safely into
harbor ton the other side in 100 days
will get handsome bonus. Several of
the captains got together in the Mer-
chants Stevedore Company's office last
night and talked it over, and small bets
We're placed.
The ships to load for New York are
the Pactolus, Captain Watts; the d. d.
Rice, Captain Carver; the St. Katerine,
Captain Saunders; the Henry b. Hyde.
Captain McLeod the st. Frances, Cap
tain Winn and the s. d. Carleton, Cap
tain Armstrong. These are all fine YES
sells, and the captains are all up to
date in their business, and with good
luck any one of them might make the
passage in hundred days. The John
Mcdonald, which is loading at Hawaii,
is another ship which may be counted
in. The first to start will be the Pac-
tolus, which is now nearly loaded. Cap
tain Watts has not had luck his way
in port, delays in getting wharf hav-
ing forced him to a long stay here
Now he ought to have a change of luck
encounter the combination of favorable
circumstances at the Horn and else
where, which alone, can make a TRIP
to New York in 100 days possible.
Captain Mcleod, who takes the Hen
ry e. Hyde, has earned many bonuses
| in the employ of the same owners as
! is now with. Now he goes into shlI
which has been called the finest wood
en- vessel owned in America, and he is
| likely to make a good showing.
The trip round the Horn to New York
! from here is one not often made in 10l
| days. The captain who makes it in
| from a 100 to 100 days has nothing tC
complain of. But with fair winds ant
| good fortune in clearing the cape II
may be done in 100.
! w. e. Mighell has for many years
made 1t a practice to give bonuses tC
captains who make extra quick trips
His vessels have rolled up some fine
records under this system, and the SID
| that are to leave here will not overlook
any chances to spread sails One bet o
500 to $50 was made that none of th'
ships get home in hundred days.

FORTS FOR HILo.
Mysterious Specialist Makes Sketches
of the Rainy Town.

HILO, April .5.-When the transport
Lennox was in Hilo there was on board
a man by the name of j. H. Sullivan
who, from all accounts, had greater
confidence reposed in him by the Unit
ed States Government than the average
wagon master.
When he left on the Lennox he was
under instructions to investigate Hilo
with a view to ascertaining the pos
sibility for fortifying the place and its
adaptability as a Quartermasters sup
ply depot. He visited various points
and from a point on the Kaumana
road made sketches which he submit
ted with his report to Washington. A
gentleman now in Hilo says this report
was eminently favorable and that Mr..
Sullivan will return to Hilo in about
three months.
1t was he who stopped the landing of
the LennoX mules in Hilo. He gave
as reasons for his action that the mules
were suffering from colds and that they
were accustomed to the temperature of
the steamer and he feared that to land
them during the rain then prevailing
would mean acute influenza which
would result fatally.-Hawaii Herald.

An EDUCATION MEETING
BUSINESS OF COMMISSIONERS
YESTERDAY.
New Royal School an Emergency-Mr.
Townsend to Kona to Arrange Time
of Vacation

The Commissioners of Education held
a session from 2:3O Yesterday afternoon.
The meeting had to be cut short as
Minister Mott-Smith was obliged to go
to the meeting of the Council of State.
Minister Mott-Smith reported that the
appropriation for q new building to
take the place of the Royal school would
be presented to the Council of State
during the afternoon. 1t would be pre-
sented as an emergency. There was
considerable discussion of the matter
and the unanimous opinion was that
the building is urgent.
Minister Mott-Smith and Inspector
General Townsend read extracts from
their official reports to the President
and the same were approved.
Mr.. Townsend was appointed a COM
mittee of one to look into the matter
of changing vacation time in the Konas
in order that the children there might
be at home in the autumn to assist in
coffee picking. The Inspector General
said he would visit the districts to con-
fer with the people in regard to the
matter.
Several designations from minor coun-
try schools were accepted and new ap-
pointments made. Nearly all were on
Hawaii
The matter of a successor to ARM
strong Smith, retiring principal of Kaf-
ulani School, was discussed, but no
action was taken. 1t was the impress
| sion of at least one member of the
Board that probably a permanent ap-
! pointment would not be necessary any
way. Mrs Frazier was the only name
mentioned in connection with the place.

MODEL BUILDING SCHEME
FOR TRACT AT QUEEN AND
SOUTH STREETS.
Steam Laundry Enterprise Which In
cludes the Building of Twenty-Five
Cottages and Thirty-nine Stores.

A building project is on foot which
it's promoters claim win be one of the
very first practical applications of the
sanitary lessons given by the plague.
A thirty-year lease has been secured
of about two and a half acres at the
mauka Waikiki i54ntersection of Queen
and South streets. 1t lies between Queen
and Kawaiahao streets, and extends
from South street Waikiki to Emile
street. 1t is proposed to widen Hawaii
ahao street to fifty feet md cut another
| street, Marmion, thirty feet wide,
| through the tract parallel with Queen.
The whole tract is to be filled in with
rock and soil to conform to grades and
requirements of the Board of Health,
| 5000 cubic yards of filing being re-
quired for this. On Queen and South
streets will be built buildings two sto-
| res high, providing thirty-nine stores
| each 16 32 feet. The upper story will
be arranged as living rooms and resi-
dences. On Marmion and Emile streets
will be built twenty-five detached cot
tages, each containing five rooms and
bath. On Kawaiahao street will be a
| building, go X 120 feet, two stories high,
| for a steam laundry and dyeing eStab-
| lishment.
The stores and laundry will all be
| provided with cement floors. The bath
I rooms and closets will all be of the
| latest SANITARY u6SlSIlS, anu all COuIGCl-
ed with the sewer system. An artesian
we'll will be bored on the premises, and
the projectors will furnish electric light
and water to all tenants.
The building project is an auxiliary
scheme to the steam laundry enterprise
of the Sanitary Steam Laundry Co.
Ltd, which is soon to be incorporated
with capital of S75,000 of which $65, ,00C
has been subscribed. The laundry will
be run as a first-class establishment

treasurer; j. Lightfoot, secretary; I. r
Burns. auditor; George Beckley, E, A
McCandless, A. F. Cooke, DR.. c. B
Cooper and C. l.. Crabbe, directors.
The location is near the new location
of the Honolulu Iron Works in a regioT
that is rapidly settling up. A number
of the stores and cottages have already
been spoken for.

FINE STRUCTURE TO REPLACE
OLD ONE.
Will be Four Stories High and Will
Cost S75, ,OOO-Finest Public School
House in Islands.

The proposed new Royal school house
will be the finest building of its class
in the country. The money to be put
into it, $4,000, Is an advance guarall-
tee of that. This is three times e
cost of either the Kafulani or Heret
school buildings, though it is doubtfut.
on account of the higher prices of ma
1erial, that those houses could now be
erected for their costs.
The Royal school will be three stories
high from the ground and will have a
basement of the size and as servicable
as another story, making 1t practically
a four-story building. Palama and Be
retania buildings are two stories each.
The top, or fourth floor, of the fine
structure will be occupied by the high
school classes. Two floors will have the
juniors and the basement will be used
as an extensive workshop and place of
instruction in the arts and trades. The
finish of the building will be second to
none and the structure will be a credit
to the city.
The need of the building is really
pressing. So large has the school be-
come that of late years it has been
necessary to erect cottages almost all
ever the grounds to accommodate the
overflow. These unsightly affairs are
still occupied and are crowded to their
doors The main building of the schoo
is in bad condition. 1t is old and Is
fast falling into decay. Besides, it is
said to be insanitary. None of the cot.
tages are built on approved plans, as
regards light and air.
The item for the school was yester-
day referred by the Council of State t.
the committee on education. It is un.
derstood that that committee will re-
commend the passage of the item,

MAUI FREE FROM PLAGUE.
Public Sentiment Favors Burning Re.
naming Buildings at Kahului.

PAIA, April 5.-Maui's quarantine
and also plague is at an end Dr. Gar
vim has departed and the Island is clean
again. excepting, of course, the little
spot fenced up at Kahului. People are
still wondering what is to be done final
ly with these infected buildings. The
general opinion here is that the Gov
ernment should burn them and con-
clusively settle matters the plague in
cluded.
More especially should this be done
to the small buildings in the Wailuku
end of Kahului, most of which are old
buildings and occupied as residences.
From these the danger of infection
would be far greater than from a store
or warehouse, provided all rats were
killed, and the cost of burning the same
would amount to but a few thousand
dollars. So it is hoped that they will
yet go up in smoke.

royal SCHOOL BUILDNG'CASES NOT SUSPICIOUS
ALARM FROM MAKAo, KOOLAJT
WAS FALSE.
Hoffman and Garvin Found Tonsilltis
and Malaria to be the Trouble With
Two Men There.

DR.. Garvin and Dr. Hoffman returned
from Koolau this morning after hav-
ing ascertained that there was nothing
suspicious in the two cases of illness
reported by DR.. Carter yesterday at
Mckee,
Both patients were found to be ma
tives, a man and a youth. One had
tonsilitis and the other malaria. The
tonsilitis case was pronounced, the
swellings under the jaws causing the
alarm. In the other case the tempera-
ture was quite high, and, being in the
same house. added to the alarm. Both
patients were given proper treatment
and the specialists returned to Homo
lulu.
1t is learned that the men are fisher
men, and that probably accounts for
the malaria. The tonsilitis case was
made more severe by exposure on the
same account.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
DIR. Carter telephoned from Makao of
the suspicious cases. He did not dag
nose them but stated that they were
sufficiently suspicious to warrant the
sending of specialists to the place. DIR.
Carter was instructed to establish a
guard over the house to prevent occu-
pants from leaving. At the same time
instructions to Drs. Garvin and Hoff-
man to proceed to Koolau were given.
| 1t was first thought that the trip
should be made in a hack via the Pali
but it was found that a special train
could be procured which would take
| the physicians within eight miles OF
Makao. The train left early last night
and arrived at Kahuku shortly after L
o'clock. There the doctors proceeded
by private rig to Makao, examined the
patients and soon after started back.

MORE wHARvEs WANTED.
Great Impetus Given to Hilo as Dis
tributing Center.

HILO, April 5.-The long wharf, the
boat landing, the Kinau wharf i'm the
Waiakea river are jammed with boxes
of merchandise to an extent that pre-
vents the prompt removal of goods.
This condition of affairs is the result
of the new enterprises started in Hilo
and the shipment of goods direct to
Hilo for island distribution instead Of
via Honolulu. A local merchant said
yesterday:
I'VE need more room on the wharves
and need it badly. Steamers arrive
here from Honolulu and cargoes are
landed on the wharves only to be mixed
up with goods discharged from Coast
sailing vessels. So much merchandise
is coming here and so much is being
shipped out that there is not room
enough on the wharves to accommodate
us.
"The difficulty could be overcome in
measure by completing what is
known as the harbor landing. A re-
tanning wall has already been built and
| it requires only filling in and blasting
the rocks in front so as to give deeper
water. do not believe this would cost
great deal of money and 1t would be
a great Improvement over the present"

HOW THEY PAY TAXES.
Gosida Goes to Jail; Yamamoto Goes to
Work.

Yosida and Yamamoto were each
burned out in the Chinatown fire, and
then spent some days in the detention
camp. After that they went to the re-
lief camp.
But all this time they neglected to
pay their personal taxes for 1900. Jona-
than Shaw or some of his deputies,
heard of this neglect, and Shaw issued
his warrant for their arrest. They
were brought before the District court,
found guilty of non-payment of taxes.
Yoslda had no friend to pay his taxes
and costs, so he went to Oahu jail, where
he will remain for fifteen days, when
he win be quit of MS obligatfons to
the Government for personal taxes for
this year.
Yamamoto Jared better-or worse. A
friend came forward and paid the taxes
and costs, 81 so, and then engaged him
to work as a yardman at 81 a week.
So that at the end of 2S days he will
have paid his taxes and have fifty
cents.
Yosida squares his account by fifteen
days in JAIL Yamamoto by twenty eight
days work. Both get their board.

Call Physician of the Health Board
Gives Impressions.


The last number of the Advocate, a
church paper of San Francisco, con-
tains long letter from DR.. c. A. Davis,
one of the call physicians of the Board
of Health, on Honolulu and the plague.
After reciting in a most interesting
and accurate manner the appearance
and progress of the plague and the
writer's own work in the relief camps,
DIR. Davis says:
'I am delighted with this wonderful
island of Oahu. The display of almost
infinite variety of flora, the beauty of
sky and sea, the balmy softness and
genial warmth of our breezes excel
anything that have seen or felt. The
culture and advancement of the people
here was a surprise to me. In culture
and polish they will compare with any
country. Our physicians especially are
among the most cultured, amiable and
Intellectual men 1 have every met. In
fact, 1 think them rather superior in
these regards. We are fortunate in
such times as these to have a man of
DR.. Woods resources at the head of
our Board of Health His movements
against the plague centers have been
decisive and effectual. Our business
men are liberal, large hearted and far
seeing"
