CONSUL TALKS
Chinatown Need Not be
Destroyed.
Present Action Means Ruin to Chi
nese--WOrk Of Associated Socie-
ties--FOOd Supplied.

The Chinese merchants bitterly con-
denim the action of the Board of
Health in the present trouble. With
the Chinese New Year January 31st)
close upon them, heavy shipments of
merchandise rOtting on the wharves,
freight and duty paid, and business at
/ complete standstill, their lot is
particularly hard one.
Chinese Consul Yang Wei Pin con-
siders the situation does not warrant
such drastic measures. While ac-
knOwledging the presence Of a disease
. esembling the plague, he considers the
burning of Chinatown and the whole
sale quarantine of the district unnec-
essary and ruinous to the merchants.
He considers the Chinese are being dis
eliminated against, and in this regard
points to a Chinese store on Queen
street in the same block with the Ho-
nOlulu Iron Works, and also to the
block on Nuuanu, between King and
Hotel streets. This block is all clean
..d the class of people occupying it
above the average, and he considers
he block should be opened
He thinks the plan followed of keep
ing the inhabitants shut up in their
several blocks a great aid to the pro-
motion of sickness, and says they
-hould be allowed out to get some
pure air.
The Associated Chinese Society has,
u pto date, been supplying several hun
bred of the inhabitants with two daily
meals of meat, rice and vegetables.
This work is by contribution of the
wealthier Chinese merchants, but they
say it cannot go on forever and unless
their condition receives some sympa-
thy at the hands of the authorities
they must close down and leave the
matter Of providing food with the au-
'horities. He had personally provided
$50 sweaters for the use of men at the
camps, and also twenty bags of rice
for the Chinese in quarantine.
The question OF the DISPOSAL Of
hose people released from the Kaka-
ako cams is. in his opinion, one for
early settlement by the authorities.
At the request of Messrs. Swanzy
ard Giffard enquiry was made of the
-eople at Kakaako for the purpose Of
corning how many he'd friends to
whom they could go. II was found that
-ortv-seven were penniless, friendless
and homeless, and the Consul consid-
US these neople should at once re-
oe've attention. Messrs. Chu Gem and
vim Ouon of the Associated Chinese
Society use similar language.

THE FIRE CHIEF.
His Methods of Handling Fires are
Highly Praised.

III HAIy AHiSCNs
Chief Hunt of the Fire Department IS
demonstrating by his manner of fand-
ling the wholesale destruction of build
'ngs in the infected district that he is
thoroughly conversant with modern
methods of fire figh ing. His JUDGMENT
has called forth many complimentary
remarks from strangers as well as
usiress men who witnessed the big
fire yesterday.
1T is a more trying test Of Chief
Hunt and his men to handle a dpliDer-
ate destruction of property, than to
simply drown out the ordinary fire"
said a Coast fireman who is visiting
in this city. The protection of ad-
Joining property is of the greatesr i'm
Dorteuce. and IL the plan OF procedure
in burning block 10 had no been ac-
"urately followed by the Chief the city
would have suffered great loss. The
iLeas of the Chief. l noticed, were such
as would have been put into execution
by the pest fire department in the great
c..ies. Honolulu Is fortunate in hav-
ing man of Chief Hunts ability a.
he head OF one of the most important
branches Of the city government"

A RURAL TRAGEDY.
Young Woman of North Webster,
Mnss., Found Dead.

Webster, Mass, Feb. 1S.--In large
pool of blood the almost lifeless body Of
Miss Katherine Booth, twenty-nine
years of age, was found about o'clock
this morning on lonely road about one
and half miles from Webster Center.
The woman was unconscious when
found and died soon after without be-
ing able to make known the cause of
her condition. On her forehead was a
large wound made by some sharp in
strument WHICH had penetrated the
skull. 1t is stated that Miss Booth has,
on several occasions, had her life threat
ened. The authorities have to-day made
a searching investigation of the case and
everything indicates that the woman
lost her life through violence and ex-
posture. Nothing can be definitely
known. however. until Medical Exam
iner Bradford of Southbsidge views the
remains. The dead woman was a weav-
er in the cotton mills at North Webster
and lived in the family of George Scar
borough, his house being not more than
one hundred feet from the spot where
the woman was found. She returned
from work last night as usual and af-
ter supper left the house to go to town.
That was the last seen of her by the
Scarboroughs.

OCEAN LINERS IN THE STORM.
They Walt Near the Hook for IL to
ks,uteM

New York, Feb. 18.--All of the ves-
sells which came in early this morning
had been at the hook or just off the
coast during the snow storm. Among
those which came up were the American
liner st. Louis and the French liner
La Touraine and a number of small
craft. The American line steamship
sighted Fire Island through the snow at
Ala p m. Saturday afternoon, but she
did not reach her dock until early Sun
day morning. During all the time she
was cropping about the vicinity of the
hook. Early in the morning she lost
an anchor. She was near the hook and
riding with her port anchor out. A
swell left the vessel and the cable part
ed near the hawser hole. Twice while
outside she passed in tn hook but went
back again. The SNOW storm let up ear
ly in the morning and she came up to
quarantine. The only rough weather
experienced by the st. Louis on her way
over was on the 18th, when she encoun-
tered "a moderate gale and slight head

steamship La Touraine also had to
grope about in the snow storm and
both came up the bay early in the

| Frankfort, Ky. Feb. 1S.-Many of
the Democratic Legislators returned
here tonight and numerous confer
ences were in progress during the
evening relating to the political pro-
Gramme tomorrow when the Demo-
cratic and Republican branches OF the
Legislature will meet together for the
first time since the assassination OF
Goebel. The question of whether Lieut..
Governor Marshall (Rep.) or President
Pro Tenn Carter Dem.) will preside in
the Senate tomorrow, is as wide open
tonight as ever. The Democratic lead
ers say Senator Carter will preside.
Lieut.. Governor Marshall is not here
tonight, but before leaving the city
last night he stated positively that he
would return Monday and insist on his
right to preside and the Republican
leaders assert positively tonight that
he will preside. Neither side goes fur
ther than those bare statements.
Governor Taylor went to church to-
day without a military escort and
spent the remainder of the day at the
mansion with his family.
Governor Beckham returned to the
city tonight with the Democratic

Some Assignments of Pastors Which
Are COnsfdered Asaured.

| The New York East conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will soon
hold it's annual meeting, which is to be
held this year in Danbury, and as the
time for the conference draws near,
nearly all the churches in the district
are endeavoring to arrange, to get their
favorite pastors assigned to them for
the coming year.
The First Methodist church Of this
city has extended an unanimous call to
the present pastor, Rev. Gardner Eld-
ridge, to stay another year and he will
undoubtedly remain. Although the
quarterly conference meeting Of the
Trinity Methodist church has not been
held yet to discuss the question of a
pastor for the coming year, the mem
bers Of the church are unanimous in
their desire that DR.. Gilbert stay with
them another year. Action to that end
will without doubt be taken at the
quarterly conference meeting of the
church to be held soon.
Rev. A. j. Smith of Shelton, formerly
an exceedingly popular pastor of St.
Andrews church at Grannis Corner in
the, Fifteenth ward, has been called to
Grace Methodist church of this city and
it is practically settled that he will be
assigned to that charge. Mr.. Smith
went from st. Andrews church to Nor
walk and from there to Shelton, where
he is now located. Rev. Mr.. Eggleston,
who has been stationed at Grace Epis-
copal church the past year, is at pres
ent undecided as to where he will go
next year. Rev. Mr.. Triple, pastor Of
Epworth Methodist church, has, as he
did last year, received a f1attering call
to wealthy congregation, but the peo-
pie of his present charge are very de-
sirous of having him stay with them
another year. The church has pros
pered greatly under his administration
and the people are reluctant to have
him go. 1t is not known yet whether
hes will stay or not. Rev. Mr.. MacMil-
Ian, who is stationed at Long Island
church, has been called to the church
at Freeport. The present pastor at
Freeport is w. w. w. Wilson, who has
been called to the church in Danbury,
in which the conference will be held
this spring.
OF course all the pastoral assignments
are subject to action by the conference.
but nevertheless of late years condi-
tions have so changed that in many
cases it is possible to say with consid-
erable degree Of certainty where many
Of the pastors Will be located.
The national conference will this year
have among other important business
10 transact the choice Of new bishop.
Among the candidates prominently
mentioned are two gentlemen we'll
known in this section. One is Rev. DR..
W. V. Kelly, editor of the Methodist
Episcopal Review. He is a member Of
he New York East conference and
vas few years ago pastor Of the First
Methodist church in this city. The
}ther candidate from this section Is
Rev. Henry Spellmeyer, pastor of the
7oseville church in Newark, N. j.

SEVERE FIGHTING AT DoRDRECHT
| Advantage seems 10 be with British
Provisions Captured.

Provisions Captured.
Birds River, Saturday, Feb. 1.-THE
position near Dordrecht now is that the
Beers occupy a strong hill north of the
town and that the British hold COM
manding post to the south. Both are
maintaining brisk exchange of ehells
over Dordrecht. GSreral Brabant' $
Horse artillery, two thousand strong,
commenced the march from Pen Hoek
Thursday morning over a trackless
veldt and through a mountainous and
difficult country.
Early on Friday they were fired upon
and the firing continued all day and
well into the night, the British clearing
the Beers out of successive positions
under a terrific rifle fire lasting eight
hours. Toward midnight Friday the
British forced the Boere at the point of
the bayonet, out of their last position,
an important one overlooking Dord-
recht. The artillery duel was continued
to-day. The British casualties We're
eight killed, including Captain Crallan
and Lieutenant Chandler, and eight
wounded. The British captured some
prisoners and quantity of forage and
provisions.

CRONJE ESCAPED BY A DAY.
British Delay at Drl<ieis Drift Gave II i'm
the Time.

London, Feb. 10, ,4:50 a. NIT is now
amply confirmed that General Cronje
escaped Every detail received, how
ever, proves how admirably Lord Rob-
erts' plans were conceived and were sue
ceeding. But for the unexpected delay
at Dekiels Drift, which was almost
impossible for wagons, the whole Boer
force would have been surrounded. The
delay of one day there gave them their
chance for hasty retreat. All the
other movements of Lord Roberts were
executed exactly on time. Apparently
General Cronje is retreating with the
main army and even if he escapes al
together he will probably lose all his
baggage.
There is still something doubtful
about the capture of the British con-
voy. According to Daily Mail corre-
spondent with the convoy-which con-
sisted of 200 wagons, each loaded With
5000 pounds of rations and of forage
and each drawn by sixteen oxen-it was
quite unexpectedly attacked by COM
mando supposed to come from Coles
burg. The escort consisting of the
eighty of the Gordon Highlanders, forty
men of the army service corps and
few of Kitchener's horse maintained
defense until the arrival of reinforce
hnents, sustaining insignificant casual
ties.
The Standards correspondent at ia
cobsdal, telegraphing Thursday, Feb
ruary Is, says: can attack was made
yesterday upon the rear guard of our
main BODY by force OF l,4OO BoeIs, who
We're hurried up from Colesburg. They
succeeded in capturing some of our
wagons, but Lord Roberts did not de-
lay his march to retake them. There
were few casualties on our side. The
last of our supply columns arrived from
Honey Nest kloof to-day, having met
with no opposition on the way"
