WAS VERY ILL IN HOSPITAL AT
WAILUKU.
Went to Kula Today, and Will Return
Home Next Week-Dr Garvin to Be
Executive Officer.

A. L. c. Atkinson, who has been
quite i'll at the hospital in Wailuku IS
greatly improved and was to have left
today for Won Tempsky's in Kula to re-
cuperate.
Mr.. Atkinson was taken with nalar-
ial fever on the 18th. He was in de-
tention camp and his illness came on
after nearly four months of exceedingly
hard work here and at Kahulm. Dr..
Garvin had him removed at once to
the hospital at Wailuku where he could
receive better attention. There he was
very i'll for several days and fears on
account of him were general.
DIR. Garvln returned by the Mdkahala
this morning from Maui. He had been
ordered home by the Board of Health,
and will probably not return, as the
need for his services at Kahului is
apparently at an end.
Another reason for the arrival of DR..
Garvin is the intention of DIR. Wood to
make him executive officer of the Board
of Health, relieving the President OF
the strain. The matter will come up at
the next meeting.
OF Mr.. Atkinson, DR.. Garvin said this
morning: when 1 left Wailuku yes
terday he was out of bed. 1 feared it
would not be prudent for him to at
tempt the ride over to Maalaea Bay, so
advised him to go to Won TempSl6y' s
and remain a while. He will likely re-
turn home by the Kinau next week. 1
was very uneasy about Mr.. Atkinson
for several days, but he pulled through
all right"
PAIA, Maui, March PA. L. c. At
kinson, who has done such faithful and
efficient work at the detention camp at
Kahului, is sick at the Wailuku hospi-
tai.
The work and exposure he has under
gone while in the performance of his
duty is directly the cause of his ill
ness.
Mr.. Atkinson, for his hard and self
sacrificing work, deserves substantial
recognition, and the people of Maui ex-
tend the deepest gratitude to him, and
hope for his speedy recovery.

OF BARK SEMINOLE IN
TROUBLE.
Sailor Claims $1,000 for Alleged False
Imprisonment-Vessel Attached by
the Marshal.

San Furushima, a sailor of the bark
Seminole, has entered suit against
Captain c. Taylor for $4,000 damages
The charge is false imprisonment.
Upon the representations made in the
complaint Judge Perry issued an order
to the Marshal to attach the Seminole
and this has been done. Marshal Brown
is also instructed to give notice to all
parties interested to appear and show
cause why the vessel may not be con-
demned and sold to pay the amount
mentioned.
The complaint recites that some days
ago Captain Taylor assaulted petitioner
aboard ship and beat him. Petitioner
came up town to ascertain his rights
in the matter. While standing in front
of the police station, looking for this
information, he was seized by Captain
Taylor, placed under arrest at his in
stance and looked up for sixteen hours,
greatly 'injuring his feelings, credit,
ETC."
In police court this morning Captain
Taylor was charged with assault and
battery on the Jap. This is the first
section of the legal end of the trouble
aboard ship.
In the matter of A. s. Cleghorn, ct al,
VS.. w. r. Castle, ct al, Judge Perry
this morning denied the motion for a
decree pro confesso and gave defendant
two days to file an answer

ANIMALS SET ON BY QUARANTINE
GUARDS.
Was an Old Man and Did Not Move
Fast Enough to Sent the Off
ci9fs.

PAIA, Maui, March 23.-About two
weeks ago, AkiOna, a prominent China
man of Peahi, living near Halehaku,
started for Wailua, Koolau, to procure
some rice. At Honomanu gulch he was
stopped by native guard, who ordered
him to return whence he had come, as
Hama district had decreed a quarantine
against Central Maui. Being we'll along
in years he was weary and hungry, and
asked permission to get some food from
a Chinese friend near by, which the ma
tive granted. Leaving the place short
ly afterwards he was met by a white
man, who abused him for delaying
there, and even handling him roughly,
before sending him on his back journey.
A short way back the Chinaman stop
ped to gather some guava's and rest a
little, when the same white man and
native guard caught up with him
They abused him for lettering, and
then set their dogs upon him. One of
the dogs sprang upon him seized him in
a most painful manner, and in mo-
ment had lacerated and injured him in
frightful and shocking manner.
This is the story as told by the China
man to DR.. McConkey and Mr.. Jaeger.
DR.. McConkey, when called found him
badly injured, and suffering intensely.
He was taken to Paia where the doctor
could better look after him. After a
week he was feeling so much better
that he was taken back home several
days ago, but he suddenly grew worse.
end died at six O'CLOCK this morning.
The mans story may be erroneous in
details. but the main facts can not be
disputed. That he started for Koolau;
that he returned injured and lacerated
by a dog, and that he died from such
injuries. A searching Investigation
viii be prosecuted, and the facts ascer-
tanned.
It is regretted that an Investigation
was not instituted while the deceased
was alive, as his evidence could doubt
less have shed much light upon the
matter. Akiona leaves a wife and some
five or six children, all Of whom were
dependent upon him. He and his fam
lily are of the better class Chinese, and
much Indignation is felt by his country
men here.

COMPLAINT FROM THE STEAMER
MIKAHALA.
The Chief Engineer Asks About
and Vessels Taking Serum.

The following letter has been written
by the chief engineer of the steamer
Mikahala to the President and MEM
bers of the Board of Health
II do not wish to complain without
cause and believe everyone should as
sist the Board of Health in every way
cannot understand. On March %,
Messrs. Thurston, Castle and Hiede-
man went to Hawaii on the steamer
Mikahala. U believe they had been in
quarantine the required number of
days) They came to the wharf. stop
ped and talked with their friends who
had not been in quarantine, and Mr..
Thurston went on board the steamer,
looked after his baggage, then back on
to the wharf, then out into the street
90 see some of his friends. After being
on the wharf and mixing with those
who has had not been in quarantine
Tor between one and two hours, they
We're allowed to go on board by the
agent of the Board of Health, and went
TO Hawaii, while the officers and crew
of the steamer are not allowed to step
on the wharf Why are some allowed
these privileges and others not 1 sim
ply ask for information.
Gentlemen, those who have been in
quarantine on the steamers for the last
three months or more are sick of the
farce that is being played. If it is a
quarantine make it one and compel all
to obey the rules of the Board of
Health. All should be treated alike.
This is only one of several cases that I
know of.

TENDERS FOR EXTENSION on
SEWERAGE.
Vincent & Belser Bid $21.OOO High But
Will Save Five Months in WORK
VIII Probably Get Contract

1t Is more than likely that the con-
tract for completing the sewerage sys-
tenn will be let to Vincent u Belseru
who laid the main pipes in the city
The matter will be the subject Of more
consideration by Minister Young and
the Cabinet, but indications are on the
side of the result above indicated.
On account of the arrangement of the
figures 1t is impossible to get at the
exact total of the tender of either OF
the bidders. though enough is shown to
determine approximately how far they
are apart Depth at which the piping
shall go fur instance, is figured by the
foot and there are no means of getting
at the total of this item. BY careful
figuring it is estimated that Vincent a.
Belser are about $4,000 higher than the
lowest bidder A San Francisco man.
who has gone to considerable trouble
and exVense in his bid is the lowest.
Vincent & Belser beat the other
man in the matter of time however,
sFon five months earlier. The question
20 be decided is whether the $21,000 is
worth the saving in time.
Just before the tenders were opened
an appeal was received from the Board
of Health that great stress be laid upon
the matter of time, as it was highly
important that every day possible be
saved in the extension of the system
This representation will carry immense
weight and will almost surely result in
the attainment of the contract by Vim
cent & Belser.

THE LACK OF RAIN BECOMING
SERIOUS.
Deaths in the Herd Occurring Daily.
Az Mysterious Disease Among the
Mules at Olaa.

The lack of rain is leading to serious
conditions on Hawaii. AT Kau the un-
precedented dry spell has resulted in
the drying up of many sources of water
and cattle are dying daily Among the
big herds there it is reported that the
deaths number fifteen a day. Artesian
water is not to be had, and If rain
does not come to the rescue soon the
situation will be even more serious
Another trouble has developed among
stock at Olaa, where many mules are
dying of some unknown disease. No
one on the island seems to know what
the trouble is, and the veterinary sur
geon of the transport Siam, who made
a trip overland to try and help, was
not able to identify the complaint. 1t
is stated to be not glanders. though it
has carried off many animals.
The steamer Mikahala this morning
brought some samples of tissue for
Honolulu veterinarians to examine, as
a means of ascertaining what the dis
ease is.

LEAVES THE PATHFINDER.
Captain Perkins Takes Passage on the
Gaelic.

Captain Perkins, who has been in
command of the survey ship Pathfinder
since she arrived here, left yesterday
on the S. S. Gaelic for Manila, where
he is to take charge of surveying. The
captain has not had a chance to come
ashore here since the outbreak of the
plague on December 18th, but booking
on the Gaelic gave him the privilege
The Pathfinder is a clean vessel and Is
to be kept clean. Captain Perkins was
transferred to the Gaelic, and then, as
one of her passengers, he came under
the rule allowing them ashore for sight
seeing. From the Pathfinder to the
Gaelic and then ashore in the scow
was the route.
The Pathfinder is now in command of
Captain Dow.

AGAINST TRUST.
Republicans to Forestan Democratic
Action On the Point

An attempt will be made by the Re
publieans before the adjournment of
Congress to secure legislation for the
regulation of trusts upon which the
Republicans may go to the country at
the next election. The subject is now
under consideration by the house COM
mittee on judiciary and has been re-
ferred to a subcommittee of seven of
which Mr.. Ray of New York, is chair
man. This committee is not without an
abundance of suggestions. Five con-
stituuonal amendments have been pro-
posed and a great variety of bills and
joint resolutions has been offered by
representatives from various parts of
the country. They cover almost every
possible scheme that could be suggest
ed. Some directly abolish and prohibit
trusts; others attempt to limit their
earnings; one bill prohibits any cor
poration from declaring dividends of
more than four per cent; others prohib-
it the shipment of merchandise manu-
factured by trusts from one state to
another; several place on the free list
all imported goods that compete with
the products of trusts; several forbid
the use of mails by corporations hold
ing monopolies of any kind, and there
are many other suggestions and recon-
mendations for the consideration of the
COnmIIIee.
The report of the industrial commits
Sion on this subject will receive serious
consideration and is likely to be the
foundation of whatever measure Is re-
commended by the committee. The COM
mission recommends that the trusts be
placed under the jurisdiction of one of
the executive departments of thesfnter-
state commerce commission that they
be required to publish periodical state
ments of their earnings, expenditures,
profits and so forth, and that their
accounts be subject to frequent inspec-
ton like the affairs of national banks.
This lis Mr.. Bryans plan as he ex-
planned it several weeks ago, only he
would require the trusts to obtain Ii
censes from the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue and have that officer scru-
tiniZe their transactions.

DRILL SHED GUESTS.
Ask DR.. Wood for Permission to Re
main Longer.

Hldln Longer.
The 100 white men and the 300 Jap
anese who are quartered at the Drill
Shed sent a deputation to DIR. Wood
yesterday asking that they be allowed
to remain there for a time. They rep
resent that owing to so many houses
and buildings being destroyed by fire
they are unable to secure lodging places
at rates which they are able to pay
At the Drill Shed they represent that
they are no expense to the government
or the Board of Health as they do all
the work of keeping the place in order
and also pay for the anti-septics and
disinfectants used as we'll as for the
necessary laundering. They further
represent that under the regulations
under which they have been living at
the Drill Shed they are obliged to be
within the enclosure by o'clock at
night and remain there all night. In
this way the streets are kept clear at
night of a large number of men who
otherwise would inevitably be on the
streets and that thus it proves a good
police measure.
1t is said that among the 1870 white
men are a good many who are what
is called in slang parlance ''on their
uppers" and in a condition where they
are liable to become desperate. If they
are turned out of the Drill Shed, they
will have difficulty in securing lodging
places within their means, and it is
feared that some of them may become
desperate and commit hold ups or
other crimes of violence.
