FAST HORSES COME.
Colonel Sam Parker Has Small
String Now.

The Australia brought four fine
horses, three stations and mare. for
Colonel Sam Parker. Their records and
pedigrees are said to be things to make
the other horses around here take off
their hats and 90 down on their front
knees; and the genial Colonel proposes
to race them for business. With them
came professional trainer, who must
be pretty good since his charges were
fit when they came off the boat, and
also two jockeys, who will take their
pets out on the track tomorrow. The
18th of June should be livelier than
usual this year, If the horses are what
their trainer claims for them. With
Colonel Parker, who never goes into
sport of any kind by halves, developed
into an enthusiastic horseman. and
with some more of the promised sur
prises turned into realities, race day
should prove an eye opener to the
Mainland people who still regard Homo
lulu as plague-stricken town in which
nothing happens.

Admiral Dewey has been badly ad-
yised in the matter OF running for the
Presidency. He will now find, as he
did when he transferred his gift house
to his bride, that public regard for him
Is not so deep as to grant him eXemp-
ton In criticism or even in assault.
From national hero he may become
the derided leader of a political third
party, for 1t is not likely that the Re-
publicans will desert Mckinley for
him nor the Democrats Bryan. In
the meantime the merits of the Manila
fight and the value of Admiral Deweys
personal participation in 1t are sure
to come in for scathing analysis.
Glimpses of what the accusations will
be may be had in Joseph Stickney's
statement that the Admiral was sea-
sick during the battle and that he
withdrew his fleet from in front of the
Spaniards not for breakfast-which
would have been an absurd Interrupt
ton of battle-but because he
thought he was getting the worst OF 1t
from a much inferior foe. Mr.. Stick
ney, who vouches for this story, was
on the bridge with Dewey as the Ad-
miral's own earlier dispatches prove.
The best friends of Dewey will regret
more than they can say that he did not
stick to his first decision and keep out
of politics. He will simply cheaper
his fame by going into it. invite pow
erful enmities and in the end gain
nothing.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Court of Claims Matter.

At a meeting of the Honolulu Cham
Der of Commerce held yesterday the
letter of President Dole in reply to
the letter of the Chamber was read.
Mr., Bolte proposed a resolution in an
swer to the letter read, but upon a
general discussion 1t was finally decid-
ed that the letter needed no answer and
the motion was tabled. Mr.. j. b. Ath-
erton stated that as the Chamber had
already expressed it's opinion and the
Executive had replied expressing his
opinion. he did not think the Chamber
should go further In the matter. This
was the general opinion expressed by

is HOME AGAIN
Chief Justice A. +. Judd
Returns.
Comes on the Australia Accompanied
BY His Wife, Daughter
And One Son.

Hon. a. r. Judd, with wife. daughter
and one son arrived on the Australia
yesterday. The party left New York
two weeks ago today stopping in San
Francisco one day before takiug ship
Mr.. Judd. whose health was poor, left
here about seven months ago for visit
to the East. As time went on there was
not the improvement anticipated and
he seemed to grow worse. Since Feb
ruary /. the Chief Justice and Mrs.
Judd have been at Lakewood, New Jer-
sey, until they went to New York to
start for home. The fatigue OF the long
journey across the continent and the
rather rough trip from San Francisco
here has compelled Mr.. Judd to deny
himself to friends for several days.
The returning family was met at the
wharf by the two sons OF Mr.. Judd
resident here. II Is expected that Mr..
Judd will go 70 his place on the other
side of the island as soon as he Is strong
enough.
The question of a successor to Chief
Justice Judd on the Supreme bench
which has been the subject OF much
discussion for several months Is made
more pointed by his return to Homo
lulu. 1t Is understood that he himself
says that as far as he Is concerned the
matter Is In exactly the same position
as when he rendered his resignation to
President Dole before he left for the
Coast.
He is willing to step out whenever his
successor is appointed but holds that he
is still the Chief Justice until then.
This Ia the contention of President
Dole, also. A fortnight ago the Su-
preme Court refused to declare Mr..
Judd's seat vacant or otherwise, and
cases are now being tried before Asso-
ciate Justices Frear and Whiting with
Circuit Judge Perry sitting in Mr..
Judd's stead. Many members of the
bar do not believe this constitutional
court and are unwilling to try their
clients cases before 1t.
President Dole said yesterday that
nothing relative to the appointment OF
a successor to the incumbent had been
learned from Washington. The matter
has been In the hands of the authorities
there for long time.

Representative of San Francisco
Health Board Talks

DIR. Katsuki, when questioned yes
terday by an Advertiser representa-
tive concerning the report that he was
of the opinion that there was no bu-
bonic plague in Honolulu, said:

idea as that with which | seem to be

LIQUOR AND GERMS.

The Star wonders why so much
liquor of fancy b rands and cost was
needed by the plague-ighters. The
innocence OF the Star surprises us.
Does 1t not know that IL was necessary
to locate the foods and drinks most ia
yorable to the nourishing and propaga-
ton OF bubonic germs and list them as
a warning 10 the public? Having
heard that Honeysuckle gin and Green
River whisky contained snakes what
was more natural and becoming in the
detention camp psychologists than to
expert them for plague microbes? Was
it wrong to do the thing thoroughly ?
We should say not! With really no
BILE industry and zeal these al fresco
scientists tackled the job and followed
it up so long as suspected drop was
left in the barrel or the demijohn. To
make assurance doubly sure, the Hon
eysuckle gin and Green River whisky
were tested In abstruse combinations
For example. a culture was made Of
of Angostura, soupcon of Yarmouth
a large tablespoonful of pulverized
sugar and a few drops of lime juice.
This was tested scientifically both with
ice and without; and though various
vertebratal and quadrumanous things
were found no plague germs were dis
covered. Experiments were also made
with A. B. C. beer, Palm Tree gin and
Zinfandel. Each was administered in
alternate doses night and day without
the aid of the hypodermic needle. and
although patients temperature occa-
sionally rose to 100, while his eyes
were CLASSY and cerebral buboes rapid
ly developed, the ultimate diagnosis
though sometimes confused by persist
ent signs of headache and nausea-was
mo plague" We submit to the Star
that the scientific knowledge thus
gained was worth the paltry thousands
that 1t cost.

Nothing can stop the commercial
growth of Honolulu During the two
most serious plague months. January
and February, the total imports were
greater by $l.2T4,611.05 than they were
in the corresponding months OF 1893.
With the cessation of the plague, and
the upward movement in business and
population which ought to follow the
enactment OF a stable Government

the totals of Hawaiian sea-trade may
mount.
