CHINATOWN MUST 60.

The Board of Health has practically
adopted the plan, advocated by those
who do not think the plague can be
abated by halfway measures, of burn
ing Chinatown to the ground. At pres
ent there is no intention on the part Of
the Board to leave anything standing
there except some of the new brick or
stone buildings and not these in case
they should become infected 4 glance
ut the map published elsewhere in this
journal will show that about half OF
Chinatown has now been either burned
or condemned. In the largest block
No. fifteen, bounded by Kukui, River,
Beretania and Nuuanu streets, the only
structure spared from condemnation is
kaumakapili church. Blocks one, nine,
half OF blocks eight and eleven, and
block four are doomed to early destruc-
tion while block ten, part Of blocks
eight, eighteen, nineteen, thirteen and
fourteen, houses on Kukui lane and a
building on block two have already
gone up in smoke. There remain, in
whole or in part, fourteen blocks to
be dealt with and these, il Is under
stood, are now being cleared OF their
goods, inhabitants and merchandise
preparatory to the grand finale when
the major part of Chinatown will go
down in ashes, purified by FIRE
As a paper which, from the outset,
has realized and pressed the need OF
radical and searching measures. the

Of the Pauahi street blacklegs Of their
own race who live upon the earnings
of fallen women.
These men" said our informants,
"are not only a disgrace to the Japan
csc community but danger to the
white community They are the ones
who make all the trouble on the plan
tations and in the japanese colony
here. They are constantly trying to
lure the wives of coolies from the plan
tations to Honolulu and they are es-
tablishing themselves more or less in
all the other Islands. From the sue
cess they have had in keeping out OF
the clutches of the law, they feel that
they are above the law These men
are now in custody and the Govern
ment, if it wills, can probably send
them home. Certainly the Consul Gen
eral of Japan would not object"
The matter is important enough to
warrant the proposed action, arbitrary
and eXtra-judicial as the move might
be. If these procurers are deported
with the assent of the Consul General,
tacit or otherwise, it is not likely that
either the japanese or the United
States Governments would object. Then
who would, but the procurers them
selves? To rid the Islands of trouble
some and vicious class, to free the
women they hold in bondage and to

Centered in Pauahl street would seem
to be a task worthy of any govern
ment, irrespective of the legal techni-
calities that might have to he tram

QUAY BEATEN.
The Senate Committee Decides
Against His Claim.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
today decided by vote OF four to three
to make an adverse report upon the
resolution to seat Senator Quay. The
resolution was as follows:
"P solved, That Matthew s. Quay be
admitted as a Senator from the State
of Pennsylvania In accordance with his
appointment made on April 20. 1899, by
the Governor of said State"
The members OF the committee yot-
ing for the resolution were Senators
Chandler, Hoar and McComas, and
those opposing Senator'S Burrows, CAT
ferry, Pettus and Harris.
Senators Turley and Pritchard were
paired, the latter for and the former
against the resolution.
No definite time was set for the pres
entation OF the committees report TO
the Senate. The minority will also pre-
sent report and the understanding is
that the minority shall be notified by
the majority when 1t is ready to put in
its report.
Senator Burrows, the only Republi-
can of the committee who voted against
the resolution, will prepare the report
OF the majority, and Senator Hoar that

In SOUTH AFRICA.

General Butler seems determined to
retrieve himself if possible before Lord
Roberts arrives to take command. AT
last accounts a fight was impending at
the Tugela river, where the last disas-
trous British rout occurred. Buffers
army is said to be- in fine form, but as
the Tugela is running at the full and
as the Beers are strongly posted on
the high hills behind the stream, the
chances of British success would seem
to be remote. 1t is possible that Gen
eral Butler, out Of pride, may take the
risk of Q, great catastrophe.
Meanwhile the British seizure of a
German steamer at Delagoa bay has
done something of itself to embarrass
British operations Germany is in
censed, and the Kaiser, it is understood,
will demand PREPARATION. Here is a
crisis which may compel England to
cease sending troops to South Africa
and to keep them, at home for German
eventualities. If such thing comes to
pass. the Beers will have their prob
lens greatly simplifed, particularly SO
if they manage, by getting up Dutch
Instructions in Cape Colony and else
where. to dispense the present British
force in South Africa throughout the,
whole imperilled area.
So despite the superior strength of
Great Britain the Beers have chance
to win-as good chance, perhaps, as
the colonial Americans had in 1876.
Their valor and courage and their de-
fensive position enable them to make
the most of it.

THE PEST AND RATS.

We copy the following paragraphs

ted 10 discharge their freight and their
rats without fumigation been battened
down and inundated with sulphur
fumes We might now be free from the
plague. Considering the trouble We
are having and the danger we shall al

precautions are neglected why would II
not be wise to fimigate every ship that
comes TO this port from the Far East
and perhaps from other directions, as
much to kill the rats on board as to
disinfect the freight?

Sheriff Andrews of Hawaii is the sort
of an official who can serve the Govern
ment best in private capacity. His
little rebellion on the big Island has
already incensed various communities
there and no doubt exists that the Gov
ernments efforts to suppress him will
meet with much local favor. The early
appointment of F. B. McStocker as
Sheriff of Hawaii and agent of the
Board of Health would do a great deal
to clear the atmosphere.

Among the various legends current In

one, which supposes the Hartz to be
haunted with kind OF tutelar demon,
In the shape of wild man of hugo
stature, his head wreathed with oak
leaves, and his middle cinctured with
the same, wearing In his hand q pine
torn up by the roots 1t Is certain that
many profess to have seen such n
form, traversing with huge strides, in
line parallel to their own course, the

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Lower Prices In Business Consumers and
Producers are Arriving at Satisiao-
tory Understandings.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade" says: Producers and con-
sumers are getting together in more
than one direction, although midsum-
mer inactivity is emphasized by disturb
ed foreign relations and hesitation al
ways attending National political cam
paign. False starts are to be feared, but
the dangerous optimism of last autumn
is lacking, and new business is at lower
prices. In iron, the depression in which
has resulted in hesitation and fear in
other industries. the tone is better; and
in the Pittsburg district the mills have
booked line of fair orders in bars and
plates. Structural and bridge materials
are better taken. The refusal OF the
Amalgamated Association to allow a
change in the wage scale adopted i'll
May has led to strikes at numerous bar
mills and the Republic company is TO
dismantle some plants to secure concen-
tration, but the non-union capacity will
prevent serious scarcity. Further busi
ness in bars shows that agricultural
implement makers are more active.
Grey forge has fallen to SIS at Pitts
burg, and Bessemer steel billets sold at
$40. With the uncertainty of the con-
ference OF steel companies al Chicago
removed, buyers may proceed with less
anxiety. Export orders advanced cleo
trolytic copper from 1914 to Io3sc in
large lots. 1t is not surprising that
wheat declined still further this week
for the price had been held far above
the quotation ruling at this date in 1890,
and crop conditions are so generally sat
isfactory as to assure an abundance for
all home requirements and the usual
amount for export High prices have
curtailed foreign buying to some ex-
tent and in four weeks Atlantic exports
OF wheat. including flour, have been only
1906 ,436 bushels, against 8.43o,43I last
year. The shipments OF corn make a
more satisfactory comparison, in four
weeks amounting to Ia,72o,435 bushels
against II,8SI,47o year ago. Failures
for the week were 23I in the United
States, against ISL last year, and 2S in

n great many farmers do not give their

farmer knowing the cause or beng

oAns OF A GUN.
Some Practical Advice From ss o.
Hunter.

Some Practical Advice From an O
Hunter.
A veteran hunter lays this down a. .
point which must be carefully attended
to: Never under any circumstances
lay away your gun at night without
cleaning II. Never mind how tired you
are, attend to II at once. There should
be no next day about IT," Not few
of the older hunters would profit by ac-
cepting this advice. The veteran quot
ed above says he got this idea from
his father. who loved his guns and
dogs almost as we'll as he loved his
children. The old man gave his boy
single barrelsd mu.zie loader. which
was for many a day the youngsters
treasure of treasures, and was never
allowed to get rusty. Before being put
away for the winter II was carefully
cleaned and oiled and was once IN q
while taken down and examined. II a
speck of rust appeared anywhere 1t
was at once removed. After an outing
among wild pigeons, squirrel or grouse
he removed the barrel from the stock,
swahbed 1t out with hot water and
wiped II out with a clean rng. Thsn
he fired little powder, Just to DO sure
that no moisture was left. after which
an oil rag was used asslduously. Then
stock and barrel were rejoined and the
weapon was put away for the night.
The breechIoader is much less
troublesome, but the same. principle
obtains In both cases. BY using care
such as Is indicated this hunter has for
fourteen years kept gun in hrst class
condition, though II has done a great
deal of work.
