WAILUKU WANTS A FIRE.
Maui News. |


Now, Wailuku has a Chinatown
which is quite as filthy and dangerous
in some respects as those of Honolulu
and Kahului, and 1t Is the openly eX-
pressed opinion of those most compe-
tent to judge, that 1t is only question
of time until there Is an eruption of
plague in the Chinatown of Wailuku.
How can this be prevented? The
answer Is simple. There is only one
known method, and that Is to use the
torch. If the makai side of Market
street, commencing at Main street and
extending the entire length of the
block were cleared of its filthy, pest
breeding shacks, and If the fire should
cross to the mauka side at desirable
intervals and clear out some of the
pest holes on that side, more would
have been accomplished to rid Wailu-
ku of all danger of plague than all the
quarantine inspection and disinfection
which may be applied. or course II
would be costly and disagreeable
remedy, but not nearly so costly or
disagreeable as one single well-defined
case Of bubonic plague in those limits
Let the Board Of Health see to this.

PORTO RICO COMPROMISE
Republicans Reach Conclusion That
viii DO Accepted.
Tariff Reduced 10 IS PeTCeDt-PreSldI nj
Lends His Influence Believes The
Act Constitutional.

Washington, Feb. 26.-At the con.
ference of House Republicans tonight
on the Porto Rican tariff bill assur.
ances were given that the President
, believed the measure constitutional
and would approve 1t If 1t came to MIN
and an agreement was reached to limit
the operation of the bill to two years
and reduce the duty imposed by 1t from
| 25 to 10 per cent of the American tar
if. As result the Republican lead
ers claim that the bill will have the
support of all the Republicans except
| four-McCall of Massachusetts,, Little
| field OF Maine, Lorimer of Illinois and
| Crumpacker of Indiana-and that this
| loss will be offset by affirmative votes
of the opposition. They claim the
passage of the modified bill is certain
After the conference adjourned at II
o'clock Chairman Cannon gave out the
| following statement Of the amend
ments agreed upon by the conference:
THE conference requested the Ways
and Means Committee to offer an
amendment to the bill as follows:
Amend the title to make 1t an act tenn
porarily to provide revenue for the ISL
and Of Porto nico and for other pur-
poses and to add the following sec
ton:
This act shall be taken and held
to be provisional In its purposes, In
tended to meet a pressing present need
for revenue for the island of Porto Ri
co, and Is not to continue in force af-
ter March 1, 1902
These amendments were adopted

AS was forecast by the Bulletins
Washington correspondent, the Hawa-
iian bill has had to give way to Porto
Rico, and the determination of Con-
gressional ability to legislate the con-
stituticn. While this Porto Rico dis
cussion has aroused a fierce debate and
serious dissension among Republican
members, the latest dispatches give
assurance that an agreement has been
reached and Porto Rico will be
promptly disposed of by the enactment
of measure placing 10 per cent duty
on the products of this new possession.
Consideration of the protection this ac-
ton may give the sugar market natur-
ally causes Hawaii to approve Of this
disposition of Porto Rico. provided II
does not prove boomerang when our
own tariff comes up for action. Pres
ent indications are, however, that the
Hawaiian territorial bill will go
through with rush as soon as Porto
Rico is out OF the way.

British JOY over the final defeat of
Gen. Crorie is tempered with marked
admiration, If not sympathy, for the
splendid fight the Beers made against
Overwhelming odds. The spectacle OF
Cronje with mere handful of men
holding Great Britain's best fighting
men at bay until forces gathered at the
Boer capital to check British advance
Is a marked demonstration that the
Boer spirit is not broken and the war
Is by no means at an end Although
large numbers OF Beers are supposed
to have withdrawn from Ladysmith,
Butler has been unable to make an ad-
vance. The result is inevitable while
England Is allowed free hand, but
Cronie's defense was such as to as
sure British citizens that the way of
their generals to the South African
Republic capitals will be paved with
known to British history. 1t is a war
of determination with the natural de-
fensive advantages on the side of the
Beers. II this Is an example of what
our wars of modern civilization are to
be. converts to the policy of interven-
ton outlined by The Hague Peace
Conference will include the people of
every civilized nation.

HEALTH BOARD MEETING

DR.. Walter Maxwell has written to
the Board Of Health, giving his views
on disinfection of the soil. He holds
that, owing to the basic nature of Ho-
nolu soil, any acid disinfectant would
be neutralized. An alkaline Is what Is
needed and the doctor denominates
quicklime as the proper agent. Unless
the presence of bacilli be proved at a
greater depth, the soil should not be
plowed deeper than two inches. This
would ensure efficiency at a minimum
cost.
After hearing the communication
read the Board of Health, at its meet
ing yesterday afternoon, decided to APP
point DR.. Maxwell at the head of a
committee to take charge OF soil dis
infection.
DR.. Wood reported no new plague
cases.
DIR. Day, on behalf of the Postmaster
General, stated that hot air fumigation
of mails would not be acceptable to the
San Francisco authorities. II disin-
fected with formaldehyde the mails
would be saved delay at San Francisco.
The doctor suggested that formalde-
hyde would be the proper agent to use
in inter-island mails. Placed in the
bags it would get its work in on the
voyage, which would avoid the long in
terval now suffered between closing of
mails and sailing Of steamers. Adopt
ed.
The Board paid visit to the locality
just within the angle of Queen and
Richards streets, makai. Very unsani-
tary conditions were found, and 1t was
resolved to notify the owners and les
sees to have these rectiied before
places could be reoccupied. A laun-
dry and restaurant of Chinese, sun
dry domiciles and Frank Ludwiko's
lodging house are in the category. A
dead rat found in the cruise was de-
voted to later examination for bacilli

The decision of the Sanitary Com.

The decision of the Sanitary Com
mittee to continue the house to house
inspection meets the approval OF the
entire community with the possible
exception of a few Of the sub-inspec-
tors No better system of guarding ir-
responsible Asiatics can be devised.
The town has suffered so many set
backs that it will be necessary for a
full month to pass without new cases
appearing, before the business COM
munity will feel sufficient confidence
in the situation to warrant doing away
with this daily patrol.

The New Year BeeetS
New Things

FOR THE BOYS. Have you ever stop.
ped to think what a difference there is In
the makes of boys clothing1 Many suits
are bought because the price Is low. 1t Is
often the price that governs the purchaser,
and not the quality or the substantial
makes. This theory seems to be based on
the idea that any kind of suit Is good
enough for boy, as he will soon wear II
out. That is not good economy, for If you
would pay a little more, and consider quail.
ity and make, you would have a suit for
the boy that would always look we'll and
outwear two suits of the inferior grades.
To buy the best Is money In pocket; to
buy the poorest Is moaey wasted. We
make a speciality to keep the best at popu.
lar prices.

DIRECT FROM THE COAST.
MAUI News, |

A deeper significance than at first APP
pears on the surface underlies the
proposition to run lines of steamers
from Coast ports directly to other ports
than Honolulu during the quarantine.
Already the merchants on Maui are be-
ginning to learn that on goods received
directly from the Coast, they make a
profit without the handicap Of Inter-
Island freights and division with Ho-
nolulu middlemen. The wholesale
houses In Honolulu will have an inter-
esting problem to solve.

1T Is SAID KE&

That Thos. A. Edison used to walk up
and down every night In front of the first
house he lighted with electricity untll.the
lights were extinguished, for fear that the
house would burn down; and we are sure
that any Insurance man present, If his
house were wired and lighted In the same
way as that first building would bel a
good deal more scared than was Edison.
In the short space of time that has passed
since then so many improvements. have
been introduced that now house lighted
by electricity Is better fire risk than with
any other artificial light.

CHINA.s NEW ATTITUDE.

YOKOH ANA, Jan. 13--A lively in-
forest mas been aroused by the publ
, alton of the secret decree of the En-
press Dowager Of China in which she
shows a becoming sense Of the danger
which threatens the empire from for
eign aggression, and holds the provin-
cial Government to strict RESPONSE
bility for the immediate defense of their
respective provinces, should any attack
be made upon them. THE various pow
ers," she says, ARE casting upon us
looks of tiger-like voracity, and hust-
ling each other in their endeaVors to be
the first to seize upon our innermost
territory. They think that China haV-
ing neither money nor troops would
never venture to go to war with them
Speculation is, of course, rife as to
what has happened to bring out this
decree, eminently suggestive as it is of
the stiffening of China's backbone.
Some attribute it to an understanding
with Japan, it being reported anew
that eX-Minister Yano, is to return
there as Japanese adviser to the Tsung
Ii Yamen. Others see in it an assu-
rance gathered from the late negotia-
tons with the United States Govern
ment, in which 1t is thought there We're
indications that the new power in the
east has provided for the protection of
its trade interests in China by showing
a strong sympathy with the empire in
its present evil plight.

PANAMA CANAL.
One Man who Thinks That the Best
Route.

Some important statements in re-
gard to the Isthmian canal have been
made by James c. Ford, the manager
of the Carthagena- Magdalene railway
and the special technical adviser of the
government of Colombia, as to the Pa
mama canal Mr.. Ford is a native of
Jamaica, and has been paying q visit
to his old home. LAS the result of
what have gathered from recent nego-
tiations," he said, land from what was
said at the conference in Paris last
summer, which ] attended as the repre-
sentative of the Colombian govern
ment l believe the American govern
ment will come to some arrangement
with the Panama Canal company and
supply the greater part of the money
necessary to complete De Lesseps'
scheme. OF course, it will do so only
on condition that it obtains a prepon-
derating influence in the completion of
the work and in the management of
the canal when completed. That stands
to reason. But do not anticipate any
real difficulty in arranging that matter
in a way that will be satisfactory to
all the parties concerned. During re-
cent visits to the United States and
Europe / have sought to impress upon
the representatives of the American
government in this matter how much
wiser it would be to complete the Pa
mama canal than to embark upon the
tremendously difficult and expensive
task OF constructing a new waterway
across some other part of the isthmus,
whether it be through Lake Nicaragua
or by the Atrato route. I have good
reason to believe that my representa-
tons have had effect, and that Mr.. Nc
kiney's administration will surprise
the public sooner or later by declaring
it's adherence to the De Lesseps canal.
1t will take from eight to ten years Of
good, honest work to complete that
waterway between Colon and Panama.
The concession granted to the Panama
Canal company expires in 1904. I have
strongly advised the Colombian govern
ment to extend the time limit and
there is very little doubt but that it
will do So"

THEY ARE NOT UNANIMOUS
HILO PEOPLE NOT AT ONE AS TO
EXCLUsIVENEss
ideas on the Subject Seem to Shift and
Vary with Interest and Convenience.
Tribune's Editorial.

Sentiment in Hilo does not seem to
be unanimous on the subject of quar-
antine. The Hilo Tribune of January
"a has the following as its leading edi-
torial:
"The multitudinous burnings of the
Honolulu Board of Health, and the ma
turaly favorable conditions of the
climate together must have a wonder
fully depressing effect upon the plague
microbe, otherwise it would not have
failed to take advantage of the many
leakages in quarantine regulations
caused by the continuous shifting and
Vaciilation at this end of the line, and
the free and easy methods of dealing
with ingress and egress at the other
end
1t is certainly nothing less than
amusing to learn that when the kinau
on her last trip returned Ia Honolulu
with her load of freight rejected here,
great roar went up from the authoH-
ties there against allowing this same
freight to be landed at the place from
which it originally came, on the ground
that it was dangerous stuff and never
should have been handled and shipped
at all. The chickens that came home
to rOost looked much sicker than the
chickens that left at dawn. We dare
say the whole system of quarantine and
of intercourse between the Islands as
looked after at Honolulu has been Of
she slip shod fashion, that would have
caused the hands of Honolulu to be
raised in horror had the plague exist
ed at some other point and that city
been the objective point of vessels sent
out with goods and passengers from
such infected point
As far as we in Hilo are concerned,
we wake up every morning with a diff
Terent idea of what is and what is not
required i'm the way of quarantine. This
is probably caused by the revolution Of
the earth upon its axis. One day we
consider it dangerous to even allow
vessel from Honolulu to appear above
the horizon The next day we are will
ing to receive almost anything, except
letter sealed with sputum, first-class
passengers, and George Beckley. The
third morning we arise with the
idea that rice and cast iron is all right
but blue denims and cement are the
certain lurking places of evil Probably
so many changes of front tangle up the
microbe so that he hOps around help
lessly in space, and his right hand
knoweth not what his left hand is up
to. Now if the HOnOlulutes don't look
upon Mr.. Boebenstein as a source Of
danger political and miCrObe, and cast
him into durance vile on quarantine
island we may expect that he will
straighten out all these knots and ar
range matters satisfactorily for us, for
Honolulu and for the bacillus, so that
each may go his way with a mems sana
in COrpore sanO.
