CHAMBERS BREAKS
OUT ON MAUI ISLE
Board of Health Will
Send Veterinary
at Once.

Chambers has broken out on Maui.
DR.. Garvin who has just returned from
the Garden Isle brought official news of
the spread of the disease to the Board
of Health. The matter was Immediate
ly placed in the hands of Superintend-
ent of Public Works McCandless for his
investigation and yesterday he con-
cluded TO send Veterinary Surgeon
Shaw to make a thorough inspection or
all the horses and mules on Maui.
Just as DR.. Garvin was about to en-
bark on the steamer for Honolulu he
received a telephone message from the
Sheriff stating that an outbreak of the
disease had occurred on the Rose ranch
at Ulupalakua, four or five miles from
Makena.
The startling news was given DR..
Garvin that $50 head of stock, mostly
horses, had been attacked and the SER
vices of a veterinary surgeon were i'm
perative. and the doctor was Commits
stoned to bear the news to the proper
authorities here.
Not only was this information
brought personally to Honolulu by DIR.
Garvin, but the planters have written
for aid 10 suppress the epidemic. The
Kinau to-day will bear DrsShaw to his
destination. The officials here are
anxious to get an official report of the
matter and further news will be await
&c with interest.
A short time ago a similar repor,
came from Hawaii and considerable
discussion was brought out by contrary
reports as to whether or not glander,
mad in reality attacked the horses and
mules and DIR. Shaw's report showed
that there was little truth in the state
| ments made.

The Oriental newspaper files receiv-
ed on the Coptic and drawn upon to
complete this issue of the Advertiser,
throw new light on the Chinese crisis.
IL appears that Captain McCalla. u. s.
NJ. was the one who forced the decision
to march on Peking with 1000 men for
the rescue of the ENJOYS and that his
words. checking the irresolution OF
other commanders. had in them the
ring of an heroic epigram. Unluckily
McCalla did not reach Picking, though
IL was said In some recent Coast dis
patches that he saved Admiral Sey-
mour's command from total defeat. He
did his best with the others to force a
passage to the capital but the Chinese
soldiery were too strong and well-dis
ciplined to be thrust aside. AS things
turned out the advice OF the Russian
commander to advance with not less
than ten thousand men was wisest
though at the time II seemed TO the
others on the ground that TO take It
would be TO throw the military game
into the hands of Russia as the only
power capable OF promptly mobilizing
so many troops.

The naval programme az laid down
I'm President Artnurs administration
was about completed in 1897. In his
estimates for 1888 Secretary Long call
ed for one battleship and minated
that this would be enough for years to
come. Two months later the Maine was
sunk and the naval estimates were run
up to an enormous figure. In 1899 thir-
ty-six lighting craft were on the stocks
and this.year lO0O00.0O0 are available
for new construction. We are to have
for the money eleven armored ships ana
three cruisers OF the improved Olym-
pia class. The battleships. known as
the Pennsylvania type. are TO be nearly
10000 tons displacement. or over 5000
tons heavier than the Oregon, more
than 100 feet longer than that famous
vessel and with three knots higher
speed. This is keeping more than even
with the German program and will
probably be followed up by the build
ing of fleet equal to any in the world
except that of Great Britain.

The minor coins of the United States
may soon come into circulation here
through the Postoffice. which agency
has succeeded in forcing them upon the
reluctant public of San Francisco. The
law requires Federal postmasters to
give exact change and they are at lib
erty to use one. two and three cent
pieces in doing so. In this connection
IL Is interesting to note. that the mint
has lately issued a new three cent piece
with hole through the center so as
to clearly distinguish 1t from the dime
which ~ otherwise resembles.

A THREAT OF BLAcKMAIL.

The point made by the Advertiser in
q brief paragraph on negro labor yes
terday was that the laws of the United
States. regulating labor immigration TO
these Islands. could not be interfered
with by the Territorial Legislature.
The Independent comedies that this
may be true but assumes that the
planters could be bulldozed into doing
whatever the Legislature might direct.
We quote:
We are looking for Information only
and ask Editor Smith before the threat
ered" Legislature meets whether II
would be within the power OF the said
Legislature TO tax sugar. say. with SIC
a ton. as a Territorial tax. as long as
undesirable laborers were employed, or
20 raise the taxes on property to such
an extent that our local sugar harors
would wish they were well domiciled in
Oakiand7
The courts afford the taxpayer re-
dress against Legislative Matchmaking
or robbery. Taxation to be lawful must
be fair. enterprises cannot be taxed
out OF existence to suit n bulldozing
Legislature. q peciaIIv " they have cor
porate rights ard rivileges. No planter
will pay $40 per ton On sugar nor viii
any property-owner submit to the
practical confscation of his land. In
these respects the courts will safeguard
him: and II they were not here to do II
the victim. collectively speaking. would
safeguard himself.
A Legislature which would undertake
to follow out the blacknailing program
marked down by the Independent ought
FIRST to look up Bob wilcox's gas tank
and get its ground floor furnished fol-
emergencies.

The province OF Shantung. where the
Boxers originated. has had hard time
with foreigners and cause TO resent
their presence. The northern coast of
Shantung was the scene of one of the
Japanese invasions OF 1S9i-95 and thou
sands Of people were made homeless
and turned into banditti by the burning
of their villages. Two years ago the
Germans seized the port of Kiaochau
on the southeastern coast and have
been encroaching ever since upon the
lands OF the interior. Wei-HaiWei. the
other good port In Shantung. Is held by
the British and they have not been gen.
tie In their treatment of the peasantry.
IL Is natural enough. under such cir
cumstances. that an anti-foreign move
ment should take form in the harried
province and draw a multitude OF peo-
pie to its warlike standards.

Russian Red Tape.

A gentleman in Moscow ordered a
particular kind Of horse from one of the
government breeding establishments.
After a delav OF three weeks he re-
ceived an official communication spread
over much paper. to the effect that as
he had omitted to forward a stamp
for a reply there coulU be no answer
to his request. This document was
signed by several officials. The gem
tleman apologized and sent the stamp
at once. In the course of the next week
he received another communication
from the breeding establishment to say
that a horse such as he required could
not be supplied.
