IN HARD LUCK
Petition of Drill Shed
Inmates.
If Not Allowed to Remain They Will
Have no Place to Lay
Their Heads.

The recent order of the Board Of
Health authorized by DIR. Wood, by
which the present tenants of the drill
shed camp were to have been eviCted
yesterday, comes hard to number OF
the white men at present making use
Of the quarters. Since Block 10 was
quarantined the former inmates OF
Fowler's yard have had possession of
the wooden building formerly used by
detachments Of the Sixth Artillery.
When their period of quarantine was
completed a large number of the men
At once obtained other lodgings and
quit the drillshed. Others who were
financially embarrassed have remained
there. awaiting some good turn of for
tune in the form of employment which
would put them in the way Of finding
other lodgings. Time sped and no
work has been obtained, the number of
men at the drillshed now out of en-
pioyment numbering about thirty.
The quarantine not only deprived
portion of their wardrobes. but in some
instances had the effect OF causing
many of them to lose positions. They
state that if they are compelled TO va
cate their quarters at present It Will
throw them into the streets without the
means of obtaining shelter. Trusting
that the Board of Health will modify it's
order and allow them to remain at the
camp longer. the following petition to
the Board of Health was drawn up and
signed by them as well as nearly sixty
homeless japanese, and will be pre-
sented at the Board meeting today:
Honolulu. April !, 1900.
To the Honorable Board of Health:
we, the undersigned refugees, vic ms
of the strict quarantine, and sufferers
from fires. and particularly from fumi-
CATION, which has destroyed our per
synal effects, having for the past few
weeks found temporary quarters at the
driIlshed camp, and hearing of the or
dcrS OF your august body requesting
that we shall quit the drillshed camp
on April LIST. we respectfully request
that you allow us until the 1st of May
TO remain where we are. BY that time
we hope the quarantine will be raised
anu We NdH SUN tllplOy lltul.
The petition has been signed by all
the white inmates and most of the
Japanese. Said one of the men who
has had particularly hard run of luck
since the commencement of quaran-
tine.
II was employed on one of the plan
tations and came into town for a few
days, being unfortunate enough to get
caught In the quarantine. There are
quite a number of the men I'm the same
fix You don't know how hard it is to
get work here now. Little by little our
finances have been decreasing, and
there seems no prospect at present to
MI up our purses. l have had to Dor
row money from my friends, small
sums at n time, and these small Dor
rowings amount to a tidy sum. Some
have taken the prophylactic and expect
very soon to get out to the plantations.
IL we are allowed to stay at the drill
he'd, we are willing to do all the chores
around there, clean up the yard, make
our beds, etc. But what we need is an
assurance that we can have a place TO
ny our heads at night"

The Famous Yacht Going to Pieces

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-AI question as to

will be put in commission for the yacht
ing season of 1901, was settled this morn
ing, when ". B. Duncan, ir., who man
aged the big single stieIser in the races

Defender would not sail next season and
that it was more than likely that she
would be broken up. She is now lying in
the way at City Island, alongside the CO.
lumbfa.
The Defender for the past fourteen
months has been succumbing TO the ac-
ton of the elements. Ever since Septem-
Der, 500, the famous yacht has rested
peacefully among the tumble of pleasure
craft, bits of machinery, spars, and rig
ging in the shipyard at City Island and
each succeeding month she has taken on
more and more the outward semblanee of
wreck. When Mr.. Duncan last saw her
in the shipyard, her aluminium topsides
were in a fearful condition and the only

the bronze bottom. The Columbia Iyir z

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-The dealings in
the Stock Market upon the opening Of
business today were fairly animated and
they resulted in irregular price changes
with declines predominating- There was
little or nothing in the actual news of
the morning bearing upon the financial
situation. bu- expectations were common
that the surplus reserves of the banks
would be shown to be seriously deDIe.ed
in today's statement. and it was chiefly
on this account that the noted tendency
of the market existed
London furnished small and irregular
price changes for American socks and
foreign houses on balance delivery little
in this market.
The local traction shares were notably
weak in the early dealings and there was
a further EeTy sharp break in Tennessee
Coal and Iron. The industrial quarter
generally was reactionary, including Su-
gar Refining
The declines in the railway list were
for the most part fractional and New
York Central and the Nickel Plate issues
were decidedly firm, as were the Erie
mares.

Strange Disease Attacks Japanese In

VANCOUVER. B. c., Dec. s.-A strange
disease called necrosis of the bones by
the doctors, is carrying OF many of the
surplus japanese in British Columbia.
The disease is of the same family as
leprosy, but attacks the bones instead of
the flesh. The doctors here claim it is
very rare and is caused by not only in
sufficient nour;shment, but by eating de-
cayed and unwholesome food The dis
ease IS described as rotting OF the
bones First the marrow and then the

If the disease once attacks a person his
case is hopeless. First one leg is broken
by the disease, then the other, then the
