Willett & GRAY.

Willett & Gray's CIRCULAR of March
l 18th sums up the sugar market as fol-
lows: .r.r... .... ., -,
1 This weeks summary of the statisti-
cal position shows stocks in the United
States and Cuba together or 249,45O
tons last week and ,2SO,216 tons last
year.
Raws.-The week under review has
been one of strength and some consid-
cradle activity on improving conditions
with an established advance of ,l-16c.
per 10: at close. The receipts increased
to 35,576 tons for the week and melt
ir3s to $4,000 tons giving a small in
crease of stocks, 1876 tons. The guam
ltity of cane sugars on offer from the
new crops of Cuba and the West Indies
is much less than is usual at this sea
son, being evidently held back for some
reason. The stock in Cuba is now
$4,000 tons, or $4,000 tons more than
last year. There will be no consid-
cradle arrival of Jayas until August.
All the cane sugars available during
the next few months will be wanted,
and If they are not offered as promptly
as they may be required a rapid ad-
vance may be established, temporarily
ut least. The tone and tendency Is
toward continued firmness and i'm
provement.
Refined-During the early part of
the week irregularity existed, with con-
cessions in prices by the different lc-
liners to obtain the business but later
the demand increased and standings has
given place to tirmer holding of list
prices. Only few grades of softs arr
now shaded. No guarantees are given
and delays in shipments are limited to
one week. 1t is natural to expect more
demand from now forward for refined
sugars and also to expect an improve.
ment In prices in sympathy with The
strength or the raw sugar market. The
difference between raws and refined is
now reduced to 521sc. per 100 lbs. 1t is
advisable to carry full line of stock
with the busy season of consumption,
which is still some ways ahead with the
coming of spring weather.
European markets have continued
firm and fluctuating within narrow
limits, beet sugars closing at los.
against IS. l01ad. last week. No news
of special Importance comes from the
foreign beet fields. Our Hamburg cable
shows that American refiners are again
buying beet sugar. evidently as result
OF the small offerings of cane supplies.
Beet sugars are now on the parity of
4&c. for SO test Centrifugals.
Receipts for week, $3.50 tons; melt
ings, 80, 900 tons, an increase of 1000
tons. and stock 149,S50 tons, against
167. PIG tons last year. One of the large
refneries started up again this week,
Cuba has l20 centrals now grinding
against liz last year. producing re-
ceipts of 1S,500 tons for week with
90, 500 tons now in stock against $4,000
tons last year.

ACT
Dogs Set on Chinese
By Guards.
The Victim Dies and William Hannis
or the Maui Sanitary Guard
Is Arrested.

Npws oi u dastarily act OF inhumani-
| ~ comes from Waikiki. Maui. VIII
liam Hannis. guard employed by the
Hama Board OF Health, is under arrest,
charged with the killing of an old Chi
| nese upon whom he set his dogs. The
| Chinese was fearfully mangled, and
died some days ago. II reports are
true, Hannis Will have a serious crime
to answer for. Conflicting stories are
told of the incidents Of the affair, but
1t is agreed that Hannls, whose duty 1t
was to prevent persons from going
from the Koolau side into Hama, urged
on his dogs to attack the man until
they had injured him in terrible
manner
The Chinese, Akiona, was one CT the
most prominent residents of Peahi, and
lived near Halehaku. He started for
Wailua, Koolau, to buy some rice. Ac-
cording to his own story, he was stop
ped at Honomanu by a. Board of Health
guard. who babe him return, as Hama
district did not allow any one to enter
1t from central Maui.
Being old, he had become weary,
and was also weak from want of food.
He asked the native guard to be per-
mitted to get something to eat from
friend nearby. and received an assent.
Leaving this friends house shortly aft
erward, white man met him who
cursed him and struck him for
alleged delay in returning He
hurried on and. "A little fur
Their halted to gather some fruit.
Here the white man and native caught
up with him and rated him again for
being slow. They set their dogs on
him and before he could escape he was
shockingly hurt. .. ..-,t'
The Chinese was found by DIR. Nc
Conkey and Mr.. Jaeger to be in a Sc
rious condition, and was taken to Paia.
He told the doctor and Jaeger the story
OF his maltreatment. He seemed to be
growing strong for few days; then
he became suddenly worse and died. He
leaves wife and several children who
were entirely dependent on him for
support. Intense indignation was
aroused in the community by his treat
ment, and Hannis' arrest followed. An
other version of the affair Is to the eff
feet that the Chinese was ordered not
to pass by Guard Hannis. and, failing
to understand the command or to obey
it, Hannis set the dogs on him. Hannis
will be tried in few days by the Wal
luku District Court on charge OF
manslaughter. .a .

Kinyoun of the Marine Hospital SER
vice agrees with President Williamson
in the conclusion that the plague Is
a visitor In San Francisco's China
town. Through statistics sent by DR..
Taylor on Honolulu's epiuemic, the
Frisco health authorities found an in
creased mortality had occurred In jan
uary and February. '-hich was attrib-

The seventy-first case Of bubonic
plague in Honolulu was discovered last
saturday afternoon about & o,cIooL A,

early yesterday morning the body was
cremated on Quarantine Island.
Catbar;na Sullivan 400 70 from be,

nome on hihha ana oehooi streets' was
the victim. DR.. camp attended the
case and found it extremely suspicious,
and reported 1t as such and the usual
precautions were taken. DR.. HOFFMAN,
performed the autopsy and discovered
unmistakable signs of plague. The
house from which the girl was taken
is strictly guarded and the inhabitants
have been removed into quarantine. -
1t was reported to health headquar-
tiers yesterday morning that Catherine.
Sullivan had been up to the day preced-
ing her death attending the High
School and that she had been in Mrs.
Derby's room. Another informant
stated that the girl had been taken sick
while in her class on Friday afternoon
last. These reports, although they were
all over town yesterday and many par
ents were considerably excited over
the affair, were groundless as far as
can be ascertained. Mrs. Derby and
Prof. Scott both informed the Adyer-
tiser that Catherine Sullivan had not
been attending school at all. Dr.. Wood
also stated to q reporter that T, +.
Hope, the stepfather of the deceased
had informed him that the young girl
had not been to any school for very
long time. .e ,....a
Board of Health Officer A.A. BoN
made the following report at headuuar-,

case: "T. F. Hope, stepfather OF the
young girl who died last night OF
plague, worked under me as guard

We are inclined to think that plague
has often visited San Franclscos
Chinatown of late years without becom-
Ing known as such to the public. There
is no reason, climatic or otherwise, why
plague should not exist there ana its
absence from the damp, squalid, under
ground quarters of the poorer part OF
the population would be surprising,
particularly In view OF the habitual use
by the Chinese OF imported Oriental
foodstuffs. But the case does not rest
wholly upon logical supposltion, Emin-
ent doctors say that deaths in China
town-partlcularly seven that occurred
year ago last Noyember-were those
of bubonlc plague diagnosed under diff
ferent names. The cases now deemed
suspicious are not to be laughed away.
Their peculiarities are OF a kind to
warrant the quarantine which British
Columbian and Mexican ports have es-
tablished against San Francisco ships.

Appleton's publishing house has gone
TO the wall with an unencumbered
stock asset of 100000. The trouble
was caused by selling books on the in
stalment plan and tying up big capital,
while money was borrowed for cur
rent expenses. Everything went well
until the Harpers failed, whereupon
the Appletons could not make loans as
formerly. Being unable to collect in
stalments faster than they became due,
the big firm was forced into the hands

from the Presidency of the Board of
Health, can hardly be spared. but he
has certainly earned rest. His labors
are and have been severe; the skill and
industry with which he battled with
the plague at it's worst must have
drawn heavily on his vital force. 1t is
suggested that, on his retirement from
office, some substantial recognition be
made OF his services. Seeing that he
has worked without salary and dropped
his private practice, DIR. Wood certain

Plans For Conducting Engine Houses
Not Yet Completed.

While the City Commissioners are
saying very little, relative to the City
Councils holding up. the resolutions to
accept bids for furnishing fire appar-
atus to this city. they are. ncverthe-
less not very well pleased over the
delay thus caused in bringing about
a successful elimination of their plans.
A member of the Board said to u
Democrat reporter Tuesday: I'VE are
willing to let Council take all the time
it wants to investigate the bids, but
we will not be responsible for results.
BY placing an order at once, we would
secure the equipment much sooner
than would be possible in the case the
order is given later. This is due to the
fact that the manufacturing concerns
arc now expecting many orders from
over the country, and the first placed
will be tho first filed. Council may
take all summer to investigate the mat
ter if it SO Desires
Quite number of new firemen will
be employed when the two new sta

have been arranged yet, as to the sys'

and consequently, the number of men
needed has not been designated. 1t is
thought, however, that the number
will not be less than 20.

has received almost 100 applications
for positions at the new stations, but
no action will be taken until other

Official Figures Will
Prove This True.
Conservative Men Estimate 1t
at 1000.
Generally Believed That City Has
$4,000 Inhabitants.

Will Akron's population exceed
10000! There are very few people
who are willing TO admit that it will
fall below $4,000.
There is surprise in store for those
who expect to see the figures hover
ing around the $4,000 mark. The
Democrat has learned from an unotfl-
cial source that the population will be
much nearer 10000 than $4,000.
Every year the people have been ex-
aggerating the number of people that
have moved into the city. This has
continued until they have come to be-
lieye the stories. The directory peo-
pie, In making their estimate, have
taken il a great many young people
who are not married and number
of people who have no families. Each
name is multiplied by 21s. The ratio
is much too large. Conservative men
place Akron's population at from
$4,000 to 4l,000.
When Major kasson was approached
on the subject he refused to give out
any information. He was asked to
make an estimate on the population,
not in nm official way but as a citizen.
This he refused to do. Until the CEN
sus bureau makes the announcement
the population Will remain a secret.
