Board of Health Bars
to the Plague.
MUST AWAIT THE SEWER
Builders on infected Soil Cannot
Occupy Houses Till System
Completed.

The framework of two buildings
which are being constructed in the old
district Of Chinatown has caused con-
siderable discussion among builders and
property owners. Especially is this true
in view Of the Board of Health having
given out an ultimatum in regard to
new buildings erected on former infect
ed areas where the new sewerage eys-
tenn has not been put in.
One building on Queen near Kekau-
like street belongs TO the City Mill
Company, whose plant was utterly de-
stroyed by the fire of January 20. The
other has been reared at the corner of
Beretania and River streets, the permit
for which was issued to William Saw
idge.
Taking into consideration the fact
that operations had almost been stalled
in commencing the erection OF a new
Pantheon block. an Advertiser reporter
questioned DIR. Pratt. city sanitary off,
Ger of the Board of Health, under whose
direction the permits are authorized or
not. as the case may be. Dr. Pratt
stated that the permit for the City Mill
Company had been granted some time
prior to June IA, but that of Mr.. Savidge
had been issued since that date. How
ever, the builders are putting them -ug
az their own risk. as they had entered
into an ircn-clad agreement TO refrain
from using the buildings for living pur-
poses, and would not be allowed to ex-
cayAte cesspools.
This agreement, which Is attached 10
every building permit issued by the OF
fee of the Superintendent of Public
Works. reads as follows:
In consideration Of the granting OF this
permit to erect building, hereby agree
10 carry out the provisions made in the
quarantine notice published May IS, 1900
which reads: THAT no building erected
upon such premises shall be occupied un-
I'll the sewerage system is in working or
der in such district and the buildings are
properly connected with same ana fur
ther that no cesspools shall be excavated
/ or used upon such premises"
CSignature) .......................
No permit will be granted unless the
builder. owner or whomsoever takes
out the permit, signs the above. This
will effectually shut off any attempt to
make living quarters upon the once in
fected soil of Chinatown, inasmuch as
the Board of Health is yet strongly op-
posed 10 the upheaval of the earth,
fearing that il will be the cause of the
temperance of the disease. By the
time the sewer system is in, ii is prob
able that the Legis' ature will have met
and passed laws extending the fire linn
its of Honolulu to include all of old
Chinatown, and thus prevent any but
substantial, fire-proof buildings from
going up.

RIOT IN CHICAGO.
One Nan Instantly Killed, Another

ers Sustained Injuries.

made his escape.
The fatal shot was fired by Baster,
who IS superintendent employed by
the Bakery awter Printing Co. at HOP
TO HOS Mariana street, a short dis
lance from where the trouble oc-
Cured. The bullets which struck Nc
Guire were also fired from the super
ntendent's weapon. His aim was
true in each case, as but three shots
were fired.
The killing was the outcome of
three months of trouble with striking
labOrers. The firm employs non-uniOn
labor, and three months ago several
pressmen and feeders were discharged
because they joined the union. The
assaulting party consisted of Miller,
Mcclure, Pottgetter, Jeckiske and
Gibbons. With the exception of Mil
Ter, all are former employees of the
firm. Those who were assaulted were
Baster, Bernard and YarrantOn. The
latter three were on their way to

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 26.-One man

received injuries which viii probably
prove fatal. and eight men and girl
received serious injuries by an ex-
plOsiOn of several cans of blasting
powder and dynamite at Larimer, Pa.

lngs" where sand has piled up and the
lightest vessels run danger of striking
the bottom. Engineers of national rep
utation are a unit that the Government
should begin the work of improvement
substituting docks of masonry for
wooden wharfs.
The pace has been set by the drain
age canal. 1t has been demonstrated
to the world that ship highways can
be constructed inland wide enough and
deep enough to float any warship on
the high seas. The West now offers the
finished product of its efforts to that
higher authority which alone can exc
cute one of the grandest projects of in
ternal improvement ever presented 10
a nation.
In this project every farmer in the
West is vitality interested. The agricul-
turists of this section ship through
Chicago nearly 100000 bushels Of
grain year. Upon this, should the
/ transportation be made by the pro-
posed route. the saving would be some
thing enormous. Aside from the strict
commercial Interpretation, there is the
problem of making the great lakes a
useful body Of water for defense. No
outlet to the sea now exists. but Can
ada and Great Britain have an inlet
which is controlled by them. The Mis-
sissippi project would be purely of the
country and for the country, involving
a new grand highway.

must be worth seeing to attract so

to do the same thing, and constitutes a
