QUESTION OF FREIGHT.
Hawaii Herald

1t was suggested by member at a
meeting Of the Board of Health, after
discovery of plageu on Maui, that an
effort should be made to discover the
disposition of Chinese and Japanese
freight shipped from Honolulu before
and Immediately after December IL,
the day on which plague made its ap-
pearance there. When the Kinau ar
rived here December 10 and Sheriff An
drews took steps to keep the plague
from Hawaii, II was learned that n
large quantity OF freight was for Chi
nese and japanese, three cases of
which came from the store of Wing Wo
Tai, where plague had appeared. I'm
der instructions from the sheriff all of
the freight so consigned was returned
to Honolulu, but was brought back and
landed here on the next trip of the
steamer. This information was OBJ
tanned from a Chinese merchant In
Hilo who left Honolulu the day the
plague appeared there. All of the thir-
ty-two boxes consigned to him were
opened by him and the goods sold and
delivered. He poohpoohs the idea that
any freight shipped to Chinese firm
on Maui about December IL would be
left unopened until February 1, giving
as his reasons tat all cases are OPEN
ed, they not being original packages,
for the purpose of ascertaining whether
the goods received agree with the in
voices. The Hilo Sanitary Committee
may begin a tour Of investigation on
Its own account and possibly find
goods In the stores shipped two months
ago, but II Is improbable.

The large amount of space W. N
Armstrong gives Col. Little in his let
ters to the Advertiser would indicate
that Little, in addition to his duties
as a representative Of the American
Settlers Association Is keeping the
government aggregation dancing on a
hot skillet. The funny part of 1t is
that all the aggregate and individual
power and intellect of Hartwell, Arm
strong and Smith is unequal to the task
Of upsetting Col Titles work. The
only satisfaction the government
crowd seems to be getting Is that gain
ed through two columns of advertising
space in the official organ. When one
man can route the combined forces of
Mr.. Dole's special delegate, the Plan
ters' representative and the Cocoanut
Club delegate, It is an interesting
demonstration, not SO much of the one
mans power, but of the incapacity of
the government lobby trio.

1t was Congressman Hit who re.
marked to a Bulletin representative
that the basis of the Dole homestead
law is the 100000 sugar plantation.
An official Of the United States Cen
eral Land Office stated before the
House committee that he did not con-
slider the people of Hawaii capable Of
self government II the Dole land law
is an example Of what they can do.
The local government fails to appre-
ciate that Washington officials and leg
islators are the men, who after carefully
considering the matter, have upset their
land schemes. When Hawaiian officials
show capacity for handling our lands
properly, Congress will doubtless with
draw the supervision OF the Secretary
OF the Interior.

are bought because the price Is low. II Is
often the price that governs the purchaser,

Columbus, o., Nov. 27.-Rain, which
continued all day Sunday, turned into
sleet and Rail about midnight, and to-
WARD morning into a heavy wet snow.
There Were high winds during a part
of the time and, as a result, wires of
all sorts r generally d~emoralized.
Columbus was nearly cut off from the
world, the Western Union having
100 wires down, and the Postal being
proportionately crippled. The rele-
graph companies had trouble both
east and west, though the greater
amount was with the eastern wires.
The long distance telephone wires
were working east, but were in trou-
BILE west. Locally, there were prob
ably 200 telephone wires down. Street
cars were interfered WITH and through
trains were from one to two or more
hours late. Newspaper and mail trains
were in every case delayed.
A big force of linemen were sent
out early, and the trouble is being
rapidly repaired.

The Guatemalan Government will
Have to Settle With the
American Manager.

Washington, Nov. Eft is unoffi-
cially, but reliably, reported to the
department of state hat Mr.. Jenner,
the British umpire in the arbitration
in the case of robert II. May, an
American citizen, against the govern
ment of Guatemala, has rendered a
Judgment in favor of the claimant to
the amount of $4,000 American gold.
May entered into a contract with
the Guatemalan government to oper-
ate and improve a railway for which
he was to receive a monthly subven-
ton of $4,000, keep the revenues of
the road and be paid for certain x
ira work. He began his work in April,
1898, but in October of the same year
was d-ispossessed by military force.
The subventions due at that time has
been only partially paid, and Mays
claim was for the payment of those
s~ubventiOns, for money expended in
extra work and compensation for his
general losses. The basic claim was
for $127,O 600. and there was to be an
allowance for profits over and above
this sum.

SAVED BY PROJECTING BOLT.
A Workman Suspended for an Hour One
Hundr Feet Above the
Ground.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Suspended in mid
air by his jacket 100 feet from the
ground, Andrew Anderson, employed
ON a blast furnace in the Illinois steel
works, hung for an hour yesterday
while employees of the works endeav-
ored to rescue him. Finally, by mean
of extension ladders, the man was
taken from his perilous position and,
exhausted, carried to the ground. He
was taken to the company's hospital,
where he soon recovered.
The accident which placed Anderson
in his perilous position resulted in
seriously and probably fatally injur-
ing three of his companions. They
were all working on a scaffold at the
top of a new blast furnace when the
scaffolding broke, falling with its hui
man burden. Twenty feet from the
top of the blast furnace Anderson's
jacket caught on a short bolt extend
ing two inches from the surface, and
his rapid descent was suddenly
checked.
His companions crashed through
the net work of scaffolding to the
ground and were later picked up IN
conscious and bleeding by other en-
ployes, and taken to the company's
hospital.

A DANGEROUS PACKAGE.
What In Thought to Have Been an Internal
Machine Discovered In .
Mail Sack.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-According to in
formation received here to-day a dam
gerous looking package resembling an
internal machine was discovered in
a mail sack in one of the postal ears
of the Omaha & Ogden railroad. The
package had been forwarded from
Versailles, France, and was addressed
to a merchant in Salt Lake City,
Utah.
The discovery of the object followed
the appearance of a sickening odor
in one of the postal cars, which had
just left Chicago for the west. Search
was made, and a thick smoke was dis
covered curling from a Utah mail sack.
The contents were emptied, and a
smoldering package was found. The
parcel was about ten inches long, four
inches wide and four inches thick. Ten
short, cartridge-shaped objects were
found in the covering of excelsior and
cotton, and from these a sitting odor
emanated. 1t is thought the SUBJ
stance was ignited spontaneously.
The package was returned to the
Chicago Office under close cover, and
has been forwarded to Washington.
