A NEW York paper in speaking of IL

A NEW York paper in speaking of the
Legislature at Albany, says:
cit is believed that the bill taxing
the capital and surplus banks and
trust companies alike at per cent will
be passed. The trust companies do
not like it, but several of the largest of
them will make no active opposition,
believing that the rate fixed is probably
the best compromise that could be
made. The banks have long insisted
that the trust companies should be
taxed the same as they are, and the
State Bankers Association has been
quietly but effectively laboring to that
end.

INSPECTOR Of BUILDINGS
HEALTH BOARD TO HAVE ONE
SOON.
Must Approve All Applications Before
Permits May be Issued-Report Of
Shipping Committee.

At the meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday afternoon it was decided 20
appoint permanent inspector of build
ings in Honolulu. In no other way, it was
thought, could the new regulations of
the Board be carried out success
fully. Minister Young stated that
his office was piling up with applica-
tions for permits and that there was
nothing in the regulations 20 warrant
his refusing to promptly sign them.
President Dole urged the appointment
of an inspector. 1t was finally decided
TO have Sanitary Engineer Cousins do
the work for the present at least.
The matter of the old Chinese theater
came up again upon an application of
a Japanese to use it as a warehouse. In
letter to the Board the applicant
stated that he had made repairs and
otherwise placed the premises in a sani-
tary condition. Engineer Cousins re-
ported that while the building was pro-
nably in fair sanitary condition, it was
its location that was objected to. The
house stood below the street level in a
slough of filth. Upon this report the
Board voted that the house should not
be used again Cor any purpose what
ever.
The freight committee made this ad-
ditional report:
Your committee on shipment of
freight, after several meetings with the
transportation companies and inter
views with merchants desire to make
supplementary report upon the sub
ject.
It seems impracticable to arrange for
hot air disinfection on account of the
cost of installing a proper plant, and
also on account of the time which would
be required to get one into operation.
We therefore suggest that if any
IL
goods, which will not stand the acid
disinfection or sulphur fumigation, that
they make their own arrangements for
hot air disinfectiOn at the plant already
in operation, and that a certificate of
such disinfection from there shall allow
of the shipment without further treat
IIent, provided that goods shall be con-
Teyed on covered trucks from said
plant to point of shipment
We would also suggest that shipment
be allowed of other goods than formerly
provided for pamely: That goods of
American and European manufacture
or production, other than in original
cases, be allowed, provided that all
goods shall be loosely packed in con-
tanners which shall have open air
spaces equal to one-eighth of the sur
face, to permit the free access of fumes
to all parts of the containers; and goods
so packed be treated with sulphur vap-
or for period of twelve hours, or hot
air for one hour
Arrangements have been made by
which the transportation companies,
under direction of officers of the Board
of Health, will attend to the acid dis
infection at the point of shipment and
receive freight for sulphur fumigation
at the P. M. S. S. Co. wharf and trans
fer the same from these points, max
ing a charge therefor The hot air dis
infection must be provided for, as indi-
Gated above.

LATEST PENSION APPLICANTS.

1t is made public from the pension Of
flee that from eight volunteer regiments
which served in the Spanish war, there
have come 3,5SS applications for pen
sions. Yet in these regiments just 254
casualties were reported while the war
was in existence. here is a natural
curiosity to know on what basis the
remaining 1914 claims are placed. Most
of them, probably, on the ground of
health permanently injured by camp
service. If they are well founded the
course of our government in providing
for the men in camps was much worse
than was charged at the time. But we
assume that few believe them to be well
founded. The hand of the pension at
torney has doubtless been very active
here. A congressman asserted on the
floor of the House of Representatives
last week that there is not a volunteer
who served in the war with Spain who
has failed to receive numerous letters
from pension attorneys, urging him to
put in claims for pensions. This may
have been an exaggerated statement
but there is doubtless a strong fouu-
dation of truth in it.-Boston Herald.

Their increase by the acquisition of three
more Spanish gunboats of Admiral
Watson's naval force in the Philippines,
as reported by the admiral yesterday
will, it is believed, make it possible for
the navy department at an early day to
recall some of the larger vessels now
in the Philippines. Admiral Watson's
acquisitions are larger vessels than the
mosquito fleet brought in upon the
Spanish evacuation of the island. The
General AXalava is a vessel of 532 tons,
and the Quiros and the Villelobos are
gunboats of BAT tons displacement
There is no longer any need for armored
vessels in the Philippines, for these
little gunboats are more effective for
the Suppression of Illicit communication

Monadnock will soon be ordered home.

THE TRANs-PERsIAN RAILROAD

The new trans Persian railway will
parallel for a part of its course the one
which the Germans are building across
Asia Minor to Bassorah and tideWater
on the Persian Gulf. So far in the Per-
sian enterprise Russia has no admitted
objective on the southern seacoast, but
viii strike for one whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself, having as clear
a perception as Germany of the inn
portance of the Indian trade which such
port and entreport would serve. To-
gether the two nations will aid in res
toring commerce to the courses through
which it has internationally flowed and
dried up for thousands of years, going
back beyond the days of Sargon and
Tiglath Pileser. Russia has a stronger
motive than Germany to reach out for
harbor on the southern sea, and will
keep at work till she gets it, the trans
Persian road being long step in that
direction.-New York Tribune.
