FOREIGN STATUS IGNORED

New York, Feb. 2-Today's stock specu-
lation furnished adequate proof that in
creased interest was being manifested in
the market This supposition was based
on the extensive trading in railroad
stocks, which comprised properties trav-
ersing a wide area. Professional opera
tors, perceiving that support from COM
mission houses could be relied on in an
upward movement in the standard stocks,
devoted their energies in this direction,
causing the specialties 10 occupy sec
ondary position in the market This
change of front was In a measure due
also to the fact. that some OF the indus
trials which had sustained a substan-
tial rise, showed evidences of good realiz-
ing Recognition OF the encouraging gen.
eral situation and indifference of the To-
cal market to foreign complications was
the primary cause of the revival of out
side interest. Important movements APP

their offerings of 10000 shares presented
no effectual check to the current. Long
standing short lines in some of the mid

tifully throughout the list. Interest was

dictated that powerful interests were en-

the minor securities followed a jump Of

stock suffered acutely from realization
as the day progressed, and ended with a
gain of but 3l4 points. Prices of kindred
properties were better sustained, but all
relapsed from the best figures. Fluctu-
atoms in Third Avenue continued to be
of a sensational nature, an early rise to

The importance of the present crisis

last night. They should meet and

suggestions which may be valuable in
placing Honolulu in a good sanitary
condition. This is no longer a village.
but a city, and should be provided with
better facilities. There is such filth
and germ-bTeeding conditions in the
Chinese district that / am afraid what

made in sanitary conditions. The port

very energetic measures being taken
by the Board of Health must drive the
disease from this city. The germs can
not stand cleanliness, light and good

The quarantine regulations cannot,
however, in the meantime be too strict.
The infected districts must at all haz-
ards have no means of communicating
the disease. Every person invading
the plague-stricken quarter should be
under quarantine. and those who are
giving up their time and skill in COM
batting the plague should be paid
well. But the quarantine should be
very strict. IL cannot be too rigid

Judge Wilcox has committed Jacinto
Banavitz for trial in the Circuit Court
for manslaughter in the first degree.
A week ago Banavitz was on his way
to Pauoa to shoot mynah birds, carry

turned around to warn some small
boys against following too closely up
on his heels. when the shotgun in some
unaccOuntable manner was discharged.

BanavitZ when he gave himself up TO
the .Olice, soon after the shooting. At
the cOrOner's inquest over the boys
body last Saturday a verdict OF acct
dental death was returned, but Bana-
vitz was nevertheless held for examin-
alton on the charge Of manslaughter

THE KAIULANI.
Facts About the Wilder Companys
New Vessel.

New vessel.
The new steamer Kaiulani. owned
by the Wilder Steamship Company. is
attracting some attention while she is
in port. AS already stated in the Adj
vertiser. the Kaiulani arrived in the
harbor early Thursday morning from
Kahului with $500 bags of sugar. after
discharging which she will take on a
load of machinery for Hilo and sail
about the middle of the coming week.
She is to be employed between Hilo
and adjacent ports. The Kaiulani is
commanded by Captain Jacobson, and
Joe Little is chief engineer. There are
first and second mates and six men be-
fore the mast.
The Kaiulani is $50 feet long. with
30-foOt beam, 15-foOt depth OF hold.
and when laden draws about 10 feet OF
water. She has a capacity for carry
ing 1000 bags of sugar. and is fitted
with the latest appliances for handling
freight. The hull was built by Hay &
Wright of San Francisco and the en-
gines by the Union Iron Works. The
contract called for a speed of nine
knots on the trial trip when half
laden, and the Kaiulani actually made
twelve knots; with a full load she av-
eraged between nine and ten knots
from San Francisco to Honolulu. While
the price charged by the Union Iron
Works was slightly in excess of other
tenders, the speed exceeded by far the
specifications in every particular.
The Kaiulani is alone in her class,
the Wilder Steamship Company hav-
ing no other vessel that might be
called her sister ship. She is. however,
very much like the steamer Hawaii Of
the same line.

THE STRIKERS DISPERSED.

Hazelton, Pa, October 4-The only
incident of the morning in the Hazelton
region was the march OF about two nun
dred mine workers from the Diamond to
the No. 40 shaft Of the Lehigh valley coal
company in the eastern section of the
town where they expected to get more
men to quit. Sheriff Harvey was early
informed of the move, and was waiting
for the marchers at the shaft when they
reached there at i've O clock.
The sheriff had with him several of his
deputies and half dozen of the Lehigh
valley coal and iron police. They were
kept in the background while the sheriff
reasoned with the men. He told them if
they placed a foot on private ground
he ewould be compelled to arrest them for
trespass. The strikers took the officer S
advice and dispersed.

LION. WAS INsULTED.

Paris, October 4.-There was a serious
accident today in the menageris of a
country fair held near Privas, in the de-
partment of Ardeohe. A large audience
gathered to witness a local butcher enter
the lions cage, play a game Of cards with
the lion tanner and drink aEbottle of cham
pagne. The performance was successful
until the butcher foolishly and without
warning the trainer, approached the lion
and held glass of champagne under his
nose, wheFeupon the lion bounded upon
the.butoher, ground his shoulder within
his jaws and ma uled his body dreadfully.
When the butcher was removed he was
almost dead. In the meanwhile the au-
dience was panic stricken and in the
stampede to escape many persons were
trampled on and badly injured.
