day was hot indeed, even for August.
Rev. Mr.. Winfield is not an expert
wheelman. IN fact, he learned to ride
only this season in hopes of reducing
his somewhat superfluous flesh, and
confess that even when afar off it could
be readily noticed that his face was
very red from physical exertion, that
his breath evidently came in short
gasps and that his wheel wabbled I'M
steadily, indicating that he was ia
tlgued. OF course there was only one
thing to do, and that was to pass him,
leaving good margin between his We
hicle and Theodora's; and that should
be easily accomplished, reasoned, for
the road was unusually wide at that
place. So l steered toward the extreme
right side, but for some unaccountable
reason the horseless carriage gently
swerved toward the left. l steered
harder and harder, but the malicious
thing persevered in its evil way, head
ing straight for our beloved spiritual
adviser, who was bending low over his.

Theodore sat perfectly still until we
were within 100 yards of each other,
when she emitted shrill cry:
Look OUT" she screamed.
And the Rev. Mr.. Winfield did look
out. l could see him making frantic
efforts to steer to his right side, but
his wheel refused to obey and chang
ed it's direction gradually, finally max
ing straight for us. OF course this all
happened in very few moments. Our
rector saved himself by purposely fall
ing off his bicycle, which promptly fell
on top of him. For an instant we had
a view of the unfortunate gentleman
sitting fiat in the dust, which made
him cough fearfully. His glasses were
awry on his nose, his mouth was part
ly open, his eyes had a wild, indignant
expression. Theodora's carriage ran
over his soft felt hat, and we soon left
our worthy rector out Of sight Just
before l was ready to collapse from

THE ISLAND CONVENTION FROM LEFT OVER GERMS
CAUSE OF PLAGUE REAPPEARING
AT OSAKA.
Honolulu Given Great Credit in Orien-
tai Lands for Success in Stamping
Out the Disease.

The plague situation in the Orient is
hardly worse than the normal cOndi-
tion of affairs there, according to ad-
vices received by the S. S. Hongkong
| Maru, whose officers and passengers
were much surprised when the vessel
was ordered to quarantine yesterday
, afternoon. After a consultation with
DR.. Carmichael by representatives. OF
Hackfeld q Company permission was
given for the passengers to come ashore
and it was ordered that the steamer
move to the Pacific Mail wharf this
morning, to discharge her cargo. The
Pacific Mail wharf is considered better
for the discharging of freight from in
fected places than the quarantine
wharf, as there is a disinfecting plant
at the Pacific Mail wharf and none at
the other. The Hongkong Maru is put
ting 623 tons of freight into the fumi-
eating room, where it will be thor
oughly disinfected before it is remov-
ed.
The plague in Hongkong is an ordi-
nary condition of affairs, and the only
port in which it is reported now where
it's presence is unusual is Osaka, which
is not a port of call for the steamers
of the Togo Ksen Kaisha, though it is
likely to be in the future. The plague
died out in Osaka last December and
reappeared in March of this year. It's
recurrence is attributed to germs left
over from the last visitation. The Jap
anese government is sustaining the re-
putation it won by it's campaign
against the disease last year There
are only two or three cases a week in
the whole of Osaka, one of Japan's
largest cities. The HongkOng Maru
had a clean bill of health from Hong
kong.
Throughout the Orient Honolulu is
reported to be receiving much credit for
Tits success in stamping out the bubonic
plague. The officers of the through
steamers found it necessary to be much
more strict with Honolulu than with
Oriental ports. 1t is an ordinary mat
ter for Hongkong to put passengers
aboard after disinfecting, etc, though
Hongkong does not quarantine intend
ing travellers as did Honolulu, but
during plague times when the steamers
arrived here and found that Honolulu
was going to put passengers aboard,
after due precautions, there We're many
protests from the through passengers,
who feared that they would be quar-
antined at San Francisco. Honolulu
is given great credit for getting rid of
plague" said one of the Hongkong
Maru's officers, and it is a good thing
she was successful Nothing is thought
of taking disnfected passengers and
I fumigated baggage from Hongkong,
! but when it comes to taking them from
Honolulu there is a general howl"
! With plague at San Francisco, If 1t
is there, there is plague at every end
of the steamer lines connecting with
Honolulu, except the British Columbia

SPECIAL SESSION NEEDED
LEGISLATURES MAY BE CALLED
AT ONCE.
w. o. Smith Points Out Some of the
Reasons Why it Would be. Wise for
the Governor to Call One.

The question of a special election of a
Legislature to meet prior to the first
regular session, is one that will doubt
less early engage the attention of Gov
ernor Dole.
The Territorial act provides that the
governor may, in his discretion, on thir-
ty days notice, order special election
before the general election, if, in his
opinion, the public interest shall re-
quire a special session of the Legisla-
ture."s
This provision was inserted in the act
at the request of w. o. Smith and
General Hartwell to cover any need
that might arise.
II have been of the opinion that there
ought to be a special election of the
Legislature, said w. o. Smith, this
morning, "and L am of that opinion
still, though there are some objections
to it, The principal objection as I see
It, is that it would be the first of August
before the special session could con-
vene, which would bring it pretty close
to the time of the November general
election. But though it would be close
to the time of the general election, 1t
would be good ways from the time of
the regular session.
my own thought was that one i'm
portant thing for the Legislature to
consider is the claims growing out of
the plague and quarantine. A special
session of the Legislature might provide
for commission to thoroughly investi-
gate the subject and report to the reg
ular session so that the regular session
would have the whole subject before it
ber of legal questions involved, as well
as moral considerations and it is a sub
jeCt which should therefore receive the
most thorough and painstaking consd-
Grafton.
Then there is another subject for
which a special session would be use
full, but not absolutely necessary. The
act provides that certain officers of the
Territory shall succeed to the duties of
certain officers of the Republic. But
1t does not necessarily follow that the
salaries of the old officers shall go upon
the new. The President under the act
has the power to designate the expendi-
ture of money in such cases, so that a
special session is not absolutely neces-
sary to provide for this matter. But
the subject is one that will require leg
islative action at some time, and it
might as we'll be considered at once.
I'm general there is much for a Leg
islature to do in adjusting the old
methods to the new, and the sooner the
work is commenced the better, The
special session, besides doing a great
many tnlnSS tnat ought 10 De done at
once, can prepare the way for thorough
and effective work at the regular ses-
sion better than it could be done in any
other way
while there was no particular idea
in the minds of Congressman that a
special session should be held there
was no objection to the provision that
it might be held, for it was recognized
that if the needs of the Territory re-
quired such session, there ought to be
provision for holding it.
my view was and still is that there
ought to be a special session.
