morning In the persons Of Mr.. George
D. Brooke, Of ST. Paul, who steps into,
the position vacated Saturday night by.
Master Mechanic Kelley, and Mr.. Fred
Wing. Of Minneapolis. who succeeds
Mr.. 8. NJ. Rogers as purchasing agent.
Both Of the new officials arrived in
the city Sunday and were at their re-.
spective desks this morning. Their APP
pointment by Vice President L. r. Day
went into effect Sunday.
Three changes in minor capacities on
the road have been made which, IL ru-
NOR has 1t Alright. are only the first OF
q number that will be made shortly.
Mr.. c. G. Truesdale, who has been as
sistant claim agent, with headquarters
at Oskaloosa for the past five months,
has stepped out. Mr.. Truesdale came
to the Central from the Rock Island
He is brother of General Manager
Truesdaie, OF the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western. who assisted materially
in recommending and securing for Cen
seral Manager Clarke his position with
the Central's property.
Another reduction in force is made in
the master mechanics department by
the release OF Mr.. L. G. Scrymser, a
clerk to ex-A1aster Mechanic Kelley.
Mr.. Scrymser has been in the road
service for several months and is from
New York. being a brother OF Mr..
George Scrymser, who is personal
friend OF Mr. George r. Morse and has
accompanied the latter to this city on
one or two occasions.
Mr.. Frank Richards, Of Chicago, who
has been in the employ of the Central
for three months, as clerk and private
stenoErapher to General Manager
Clarke, gave up his duties Saturday
evening. Mr.. Richards will be in the
city a few days, but MS yet has no def
mite plans formed.
The three changes are made with the
intention of retrenchment, and no one
will be selected to All the vacancies.

EXTEND FORT STREET.

What to do with the unemployed
more especially those who are soon to
be discharged from the quarantine dis
trict. is a question of prime import
ance, and anything to afford them en-
ployment along the lines that would
benefit those engaged in the work, as
we'll as the public, would be most well
come at this particular time.
y review of the Acts of recent legis-
lation discloses the fact that the legis-
lature of 1896, under Section 400. 4O7,
8 and 8, of Act 43, made provision for
the extension of certain streets with
in the district of Honolulu, as follows:
Fort, Kukui, Vineyard, Kuaki1i, Bates,
Pensacola, Militant, Queen and Young
streets, at such times as the Executive
Council shall decide and according to
the respective surveys thereof, in a
schedule to be made and kept by the
Surveyor General in his office.
Under Section 400 of said Act pro-
viso is made that Vineyard and Fort
streets shall first be extended and that
the extension Of the other of said
streets shall be postponed until the
completion of said Vineyard and said
For, streets. The Executive Council
acting upon authority under this Act,
did extend Vineyard street in such a
way as to make it one of the pleasant
est streets in Honolulu. There, evil
den;ly, the work stopped, as We do not
find that any work was done looking
to the extension of Fort street as pro-
vided for in the Act
1t is left entirely with the Executive
Council to determine when the extern
sion OF these streets becomes neces-
sary for public convenience. and it
rests with them to institute proceed
ings for the condemnation Of property
along the lines OF the roads as survey
ed by the Surveyor General. At this
time it would be of great benefit, as
we'll as a thing to meet the necessity
and convenience of the public If ar
engagements could be made for the ex-
tension of Fort street. large num-

to work in the line of public improve

seem that the right of way OF the

IMPERILLlNG PUBLIC HEALTH.

Yesterday afternoon two truckloads
of goods from the infected district left
there and traversed the business part
Of King street going up town. One
truck stopped in front Of the drug
store in the Won Holt block and some
of its occupants went in to taste the
delights of the soda fountain. The
other truck did not pause but passed
slowly along, in the most crowded
part OF the city, accompanied by some
twenty or more Chinese who were, we
presume, being transferred to one of
the new detention camps.
\ bystander asked why these people
should not have been taken up Queen
street or along the waterfront. We
suppose the Queen street people are no
more anxious than the King street peo-
pie are to be exposed to infection and
as for the waterfront the further the
plague is kept from there the better
for ali concerned. But it seems as If
the removal OF goods and people
through the business part OF the city
or the pOpulous portions might prop
erly take place at night when few
persons are about. This would mini

AT LOOSE ENDS

! We get it on fair authority that the
Government has asked permission at
Washington to convene the Legisla-
ture in extra session. The aid of ISL
and Lawmakers is needed not only 70
help fight the plague but TO provide the
means of safeguard in the future.
There are other pressing matters
when would make it highly desirable
II ,.le Legislature could be got tOgeth-
er soon; yet, under the anomalous
political condition which prevails We
must sit around and wait the slow pro
cesses of communication with authori-
ties living 5000 miles away who are
not in cable relations with us.
THIS is all wrong. An lnsular coun-
try ike Hawaii should have the full
resources Of its administration in hand
to use in meeting emergencies. It
ought not to be compelled. in dealing
with crisis OF pastilence. war or the
effects of natural commissions, 10 ask
the consent of Washington before do
ing what the case demands. Indeed,
we are not sure but the usual require
ment that the laws enacted by a Te--
ritOrial Legislature must receive the
assent of Congress would of itself be a
drawback. But even that chance to
get anything done is now denied to Us.
We are in the air. needing as rarely
before the solid ground under our feet
and are compelled to send to Wash
ingtOn to ask if We may alight on It.
Is not this condition strong plea
Of itself towards the establishment of
stable and permanent local authority
here? Ought we not to be given Ter
ritOrial powers at once with some
provision for local legislative enact
ments in cases of emergency? Should
we be left to deal with plaques minus
the aid which a fully-empowered
Legislature would give us? We hope
the friends of Hawaii in Congress,
seeing the point, will now press it for
all it is worth. not forgetting that the
existence of the bubonic plague here
not only Expresses US but 9nperils
mainland interests.

NAWAIIAv TOBACCO.

c. r. SaylOr, VINO is in town as spe-
cial agent of the Agricultural Depart
ment, says some interesting things in
the course of an interview published
elsewhere. Among them is a statement
Of the possibility of raising merchant
able tobacco here. 4 understand" he
says. that the tobacco grown in Ha-
wall is not of fine quality. but that
same impression has prevailed in 9TH
er places where later and more accur-
ate knowledge has developed the fact
that a superior article OF tobacco can
be grown. The industry depends large
ly on the system of curing and the
methods used in growing"
On the surface of things it would
seem that good tobacco ought to be as
easy to raise here as it is in Cuba an
island in our own latitude. or in Mex
leo on the same parallel. The climate
here is suitable and the soil is rich
enough to nourish any crop which
Cuba can produce. Mr.. Saylor's as
sumption, therefore. that the question
is one of method, takes an air of prob
ability which even a cursory knowledge
of the manner of growing and curing
tobacco in the Havana district assists
in bearing out.
Whoever heard of the Hawaiian ex-
perimentalist, at a certain stage in the
growth of the crop, planting a four
FOUNDER cannon at the end of each row
and firing it, with a powder charge.
between the files of plants? Yet that
is an item in the proper rearing of Ha-
vana tobacco without which the years
crop might be a failure. The reason
of it is that the conclusion of the dis
charge kills a grub that has just begun
to prey on the leaf There is no other
way, save at destructive expense, to get
rid of the grub, but cannonading al
ways does it. If the Hawaiian grower
had known that wrinkle and half a
dozen others which the Cuban planter
could have taught him, Island tobacco
might now be as merchantable, 10 the
extent of its production. as any in the
world.

It is one month today since the pres
'ence of the plague was officially an
nOunced. In that time there have been
twenty-three certified deaths and three
of probable bubonic origin. This is
not a startling total, but it must be
remembered that the plague is a GU
mulative disease which often takes as
long as four months to reach its maxi
mum of numerical fatality. Though
the deaths have not averaged one a
day in an exposed Chinatown popula-
ton of from 1000 to 10000, that is no
reason for over-confldence, least of all
for any diminution of the measures
under way to stamp out the epidemic.
So long as a single victim falls, the
efforts to put the city in sanitary con-
diiOn should be jealous and search
ing.

The Board of Health has not yet
found time to deal with the tramcars.
though these filthy conveyances never
needed cleansing or disinfeetion more.
They are crowded with Chinese, Jap
anese and natives who carry in .heir
share of the street soil and more than
their share of smells. Nature takes
some care of the odors, but the COM
pany bothers itself very little with the
dirt, the cars starting out in the morn
ing with no inconsiderable part of the
CRIME of the day before, 1t would need
strong proof TO convince any one that
the cars have been scrubbed out with
soap and water in a year. AS for the
curtains, they are too dirty to touch.
Irrespective of any differences the line
may be having with it's rivals. the
Board of Health, simply as a duty it
owes the public. should compel the
tramcar people to wash the ears out
daily and fumigate them every night.
Otherwise the plague may be carried
all over town
