A DOWN TOWN BURGLARY kHEI THE BEST HARBOR
GEORGE ANDREWS BEDROOM
RANSACKED.
over Two Hundred Dollars, Gold
en- From Where Two Men Slept

One of the most daring burglaries
ever perpetrated in Honolulu was COM
mitted last night in the room of George
Andrews over his fruit store on King
street next to the Gazette building. The
burglar entered the room in which two
men were sleeping, ransacked the
drawers of a desk took $215 he found
in one of them, took Andrews gold
watch out of the vest which was hang
ing on a chair. took a diamond ring
and pin which was in the room, and
then went down stairs into the fruit
store, broke open the till, and took a
number of foreign coins he found there
together with what change there was.
Andrews says that he and his en-
ploye who owned the ring and pin, went
to bed at . o'clock last night, and that
he woke up at this morning and dis
covered the burglary.
The room in which the burglary was
committed, is on the second floor of the
building. 1t is reached from below by
stairway in the rear but to get to
this stairway one has to go through the
fruit store. The room opens on to a
balcony in front. which can be easily
reached from the ground by climbing
up a telephone pole, or from the bal
cony of the adjoining rooms on the
same floor of the building. But there is
a idlllCt WOIk ulNlulTB I0e
balcony of the two parts of the build
ing.
The door from the balcony into An
drews' room stood open. 1t seems pro-
liable therefore that the burglar enter
ed from the balcony, searched the room
and then went down the rear stairway
to. the store below, broke open the till
and then let himself out of the side
door into the little passage way thai
leads from King street to Cunha',
saloon.
Both Andrews and his clerk were
asleep in the room, the two occupyine
separate beds. The drawer from which
the $215 was taken was within three
feet of Andrews bed AS soon as An.
drews discovered the burglary he wen
to the police station to give the alarm
native policeman came back with hin
and looked over the building. Andrew.
told him he suspected a certain man
The policeman told Andrews that al
he could do would be to send for DaviC
KAPPA, but KAPPA was not sent for
and neither the marshal nor the depu
ty marshal was notified of the matter
until Andrews went down to the sta
tion again at 9 o'clock.

MAUI FREE FROM PLAGUE
NO NEW CASES SINCE FEBRUARY
TWENTY-FIVE.
Fence Around Kahului Completed and
Population Removed to Camp Wood
Rat Killing Has Begun.

Quarantine was declared off at Kihel
the day before yesterday, just before
the steamer Pathfinder left, and busi-
ness is going on as it was before the
plague scare began. At Kahului 1t is
reported that there have been no cases
since the death of Miss English, which
occurred on February 25. 1t will be
some time before Kahului is done with
quarantine however, as a decision has
been reached that the quarantine shall
last for thirty days after the last case
There is a week more quarantine ahead
for Kahului therefore.
All the people of Kahului originally
put in quarantine at Camp Wood, have
served out their quarantine period and
been discharged. The camp, however
has again been filled up with people.
The rat-proof, corrugated iron fence
around the town has been completed
and the whole of the remaining popula-
tion isolated in Camp Wood to under
go a quarantine period. The first peo-
pie to go into quarantine were from the
infected Chinatown. Those now in the
camp are largely white people.
With the completion of the fence anC
the removal of the people the rat-killing
crusade inside the fence is reported tC
have begun. Traffic on the railroad
was expected to be resumed Monday Of
this week.
Friday, March 8, a rat was killed II
the Kahului store warehouse. On mi
croscopical examination, DIR. Garvin
found plague bacilli in 1t.

COUNCIL Is IN SESSION

The Council of State is in session this
afternoon for the purpose of appropri =.
ating money for the expenses of the
Government during the ensuing bien-
NAL periUd.3 President Dole is in the
chair.
There has been discussion all day as
to just how the Council would proceed
TO business. Heretofore only emer-
gency business was handled and bills
could be passed in a few minutes.
Now, however, regular legislative mat
ters are to be tackled
1t has about been decided to have
regular committees, as does the legis-
lature, and refer the various depart
ment estimates to them for investiga-
tion. The reports of these committees
VIII then be the basis of discussion. 1t
is not thought that bills will have to
pass three readings as in the legisla-
ture. At any rate it. seems certain that
the Council will be in session several
days, if not the larger part of the week.
Three printed bills were distributed
among the members of the Council of
state when the Council met at o'clock
this afternoon. They are membered,
2, 3 and L.
BIZ No. is appropriations from cur
rent receipts for public works and ap-
propriates 1895, 1853. Al Bill No is also
from current receipts for salaries and
payrolls, and appropriates 1878, 767 .82.
Bill No 4 appropriates 1881, ,999. 20 for

fund.

REPORT OF THE SURVEY SHIP
PATHFINDER.
Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe Connected
Examined by Captain Perkins.

The cable survey ship Pathfinder,
Captain Perkins returned this morning
from surveying cruise to Maui, Lanai
and Kahoolawe. Captain Perkins re-
ports as the result of his surveys that
Kihei harbor is the best at the island
of Maui for the handling of freight,
having a good deep harbor that only
needs pier to become convenient
center for deep water vessels.
The harbor at Kihei is very prom
ising one" said Captain Perkins, land
apparently the best on the island. If
pier were constructed it's head would
be in six fathoms of water. Kihei now
has communication with the other side
of the island by rail and if there were
two or three scOws such as the navy
| department has at Honolulu, a great
deal of business could be done there
without the pier. The harhor is a
| broad open one and being on the lee
ward side is of the island is protected
| against all but Konas, which, from the
best information l can gather have not
attained hurricane force in twenty
years.
AT Lanai we made surveys to find
out the limits of the reefs, and we Wis
tied the principal places on both Maui,
anal and Kahoolawe. 1t was found
that the space between Maui and the
other island is covered by a great coral
reef, over which there is rarely more
than 40 fathoms of water. This is very
much less depth than is usually to be
found the other island channels"
! The Pathfinder went to Maalaea bay
IIahaina and other places. There are
still important places on the islands
that have not been thoroughly eXamin-
ed and the vessel may 10 there again
as well as to Hawaii which has already
been visited by Captain Perkins. Mo-
lokai and Kauai channels may also be
surveyed.
Captain Perkins is preparing a report
to Washington which will be a guide to
the authorities in future work at the
islands and Kihei people will be de-
lighted to hear Of his report on their
lharbor.

CESSPOOLS IN THE SHADE. list Of PAID INSPECTORS
A SMELL THAT oUTRANKs THEM
ALL
Limu Weed and Dead Fish causes up
turned Noses all over the Harbor and
Water Front

The whole water front of Honolulu
and some of the streets up town were
filled with an almost intolerable stencil
this morning. Farther out in the har-
bor where ships are lying at anchor,
the smell was nauseating and on the
reef between the lighthouse and qua
rantine island it was a match for the
worst cesspool in town before the fire.
On the wharves, especially at the Wal
kiki end of the harbor, people held their
noses whenever a sourtherly breeze
waited the strong atmosphere in their
faces.
1t was the limu that caused the smell.
Dimu is sea weed that grows along
the reef near the lighthouse When
punches of it get loose and are cast up
to dry they give off the odor which a
south wind made so unpleasant this
morning. Added to the weeds own
strength, which is not to be underrated
there is the smell of quantities of dead
crabs, cells and fish, that were caught
in the weed and could not get out.
The plant is said to be comparative
ly new weed here, only having been seen
in any considerable quantity during the
past five or six years. There is a lot of
it on Hawaii. 1t grows wonderfully
thick in shallow water becoming so
dense in fact that it is said that even
eelS are often unable to wiggle their
way out when low water begins to leave
it above water level. The consequence
is that fish and crabs die in it in con-
siderable numbers adding their flavor
to the fearful stencil inherent in the
weed.
The south wind this morning brought
great punches of the weed into the har.
| Dor and onto quarantine island. An.
! other element that increased the trou.
J BILE was the dirty water, caused by re.
turning rubbish dumped at sea by the
| Kaena. Life on Honolulu harbor this
| morning, or on it's edges, was not al
| roses and sunshine. The limu is rated
| a first-class nuisance by all who have
scented it, but unfortunately, it cannot
be condemned and got rid of, and every
south wind must scatter the weeds un.
pleasant influence about the city, un.
| less its growth can be interefered with
1t is thought by many that cleaning il
| off the edges of quarantine island
along the pier, would put an end tC
most of the smell.

IN DANGEROUS CONDITION
TWO MEN SLASHED SUNDAY MAY
SUCCUMB.
Little Hope of Recovery of Kanae ant
Poai-Downing May Yet be Charged
With Murder.

Charles Downing, the slasher of last
Sunday morning at the native house in
Liliha street, may yet Have one or two
charges of murder lodged against him.
He was arraigned yesterday, charged
with assault and battery in three dis
tinct cases and a postponement was
taken for one week.
Two of the mans victims are in a
very precarious condition at the
Queens hospital today and either one
or both may die at any moment. They
are Kanae, driver for Lewis e. Conf
pany; and Poai, porter in the store of
Hyman Bros. The former was stabbed
in the right lung and the latter had a
long slash across the back which laid
his lungs open. While there is still
hope, the men will have a hard time
pulling through.
Downing, who is a white man and
apparently quite a sensible fellow, has
been informed for several days of the
co ndition of the men he sought to slice.
Up to today he has felt assued that
there would be no death and that he
would be lightly charged. Chances are
now very much against him, however
and he will probably view the matter
much more seriously before the case
comes up again next weak.
The third man cut by Downing is
getting along very well and will almost
certainly recover. The only things
feared in this case are gangrene and
peritOnitis.
superintendent Eckardt reported this
morning that Isaac Cockett, who was
cut by the negro, William Ester, last
Saturday night is improving and viii
recover.

off smoothly and well. The Murrays

and were obliged to respond to several
encores. Both possess good voices. The
turn is put on very neatly and artistic
ally while the pair proved that they
could dance as well as sing. Jackson

house. The Orpheum Is open tonight.
