BILLS PRESENTED BEFORE IT
YESTERDAY.
New Public Works In Loan Bill for
Ensuing Period-Money to Complete
Many Contracts.

The Council of State will meet again
at o'clock this afternoon to consider
the appropriation bills. Adjournment
was taken yesterday afternoon in order
that printed copies of Council of State
and Executive Council rules might be
laid before the members. 1t is expected
that this afternoon committees will be
appointed and bills referred to them
Mr.. Damon's speech yesterday after
noon was nearly an hour in length and
went fully into the subject before the
Council. He explained fully the neces-
stiles of the moment and the authority
upon which the matters were being pre-
sented. The bills had been carefully
prepared by the Ministers and had been
gone over by the Executive as a body,
the last appropriation bill being taken
as a guide. Many items for specific
purposes had been eliminated. The to-
tai appropriation fer the period would
be within the amount appropriated by
the last Legislature.
In his speech Mr.. Damon submitted
a statement of probable expenditures
and resources of the Government. In
Guiding plague expenses, item for COM
pletion of sewerage, and $500,OO0 for fire
claims, the expenditures would be S6,-
$50, 1894 49, while the estimated receipts
would be Sc, ,534, 1893 II, showing an ex-
cess of expenditures of $4S,996.S1.
Bill No. 2, which calls for the sum of
1895, 1853 Al from current receipts, deals
almost wholly with unpaid bills and
uncompleted contracts. The largest
item in the bill, and one which does not
come under this head, is roads and
bridges, Honolulu, $3O6,0O0. Road dam
ages for all the islands calls for $125,000
more The sum of $4,000 is wanted for
steam vessel for towing sewerage
scows. Act 3 is the salaries bill. No.
4, which is the loan act, contains the
following items:
New wharf at Papiha, Nahiku and
approaches (unpaid bill, 1899, $491.2o;
harbor improvements, Honolulu, $780,
900; Hilo wharves, $4,000; survey and

PLAN TO ESCAPE REVENUE ON
IMPORTS.
Dutfable Goods Waiting In the East
Until Uncle Sam Takes Charge Here
An Interesting Gamble.

If the Custom House still remains
in the hands of the Hawaiian govern
ment the receipts from duties on i'm
ports within the next few months will
be much less than is expected in Of
fetal circles, and by the public gener-
ally. In fact, in all probability, the
receipts will be smaller than for the
corresponding months in the past ten
years.
The reason for it is that an immense
quantity of dutiable goods is being held
in the east for the extension of the
United States revenue laws to the Is
lands, and practically nothing is being
shipped This condition has not been
brought about by any combined move
ment. Merchants have acted independ-
emily, but so far as can be ascertained
all have acted along the same lines. 1t
was the general impression three
months ago that the revenue laws
would very shortly be extended. More
than one telegram went forward ask
ing that such and such a lot of goods
be held at the east until further no
tice. Since then what little buying of
dutiable goods there has been, is for
future delivery.
Among the concerns holding off is
a horseless hack company. BY escap-
ing the duty on vehicles, thousands Of
dollars would be saved One firm has
a big Shipment OF WHISKY, an ola oruef,
stored in a mainland city until such
time as Uncle Sam is boss at the Gus
tom house. With the big houses of
Honolulu no end of merchandise is be-
\ ing held back for the same reason.
The effect will be that if the United
| States soon takes complete charge of
the customs business the shippers will
have carried out a clever movement.
| If not, the local customs receipts, prob
ably beginning with April will greatly
diminish, and there will be serious dan
ger of a shortage in several important
| lines of merchandise.
Mr.. Damon stated yesterday after
noon that while it was expected that
the United States would take over the
customs business there was no positive
assurance that such would be the case
In other words it might be six months
i a year, or three years before this Is
| done.

kauai QUARANTINE.

The following was received by the
Board of Health yesterday:
Lihue, Kauai, March Is, 1900.
DIR. Wood President Board of Health
Honolulu.
Dear Sir: Knowing that false i'm
pressions prevail in Honolulu regard
ing the Indignation of the Kauai peo-
pie about passengers being allowed to
pass on the local steamers without go
ing through the quarantine as arranged
by the Board of Health, the follow
ing beg to protest against anyone be-
ing allowed to visit Kauai unless he
has first complied with the regulations.
We. consider all are alike affected by
this law.
We consider further that freight
should yet be subjected to thorough
fumigation until the Board of Health
feels sure all danger is over.

THE ORPHErM

Tonight, and probably for many
nights to come, the Orpheum will be
taxed to its capacity. The cause OF
the boom in theatricals is the securing
by Manager Cohen of Ernest Hogan's
colored minstrels, thirty odd strong, for
a four-weeks' engagement The COM
pany passed through here some months
ago under the management of NJ. 3.
Curtis, who left them in New Zealand
during a temporary run of i'll luck.
The company, howevr kept together
and met with phenomenal success-the
Australasian press, without exception,
speaks of them in the most fiattering
terms. Ernest Hogan is whole show
in himself. Laugh and the whole world
laughs with you" is true of Ernest, II
he can only get the world to see and
hear him cacchinate. Dante, or Black
Carl, is a well known exponent of White
Magic, a performer who is eagerly
booked over the Orpheum circuit. No
minstrel show is complete without a
quartet, and Hogan's aggregation pos
sesses two, a singing and dancing
four-in- hand, or rather feet. Little
Siren, the Creole contortionist, can, so
IL is said, make the fair Lynwood look
like a half-hitch. The balance of the
company are all picked people, who in
ragtime opera have an opportunity to
show their varied talents.

SENSATIONAL SLIT

Sarah Anna Berger, sister of G. w.
Booth, has filed a rather sensational
suit in the Circuit Court against Booth
and C. s. Desky, together with a petit
ton for injunction to prevent the trans
fer of any more Pacific Heights prop
erty until her claim is settled.
Petitioner says that while in San
Francisco, and without any knowledge
of the value of the property, she receiV-
ed a letter from her brother stating
that he could get $4,000 for her interest.
Having confidence in him she accepted
the offer. She now learns that the prop
erty, in which she had a half interest,
was sold for 100000 and that the OPP
tion was pending at the time the offer
was made to her. She charges her
brother with fraud and other things of
that kind and demands her part of the
actual proceeds of the sale.

THE PROssER MATTFR.

EDITOR STAR R:-Several articles
have appeared in both the Hawaiian
Star and Advertiser in re removal of
Mr.. Prosser from the position of
Deputy Sheriff of the Island of Kauai,
which, tend to place him and his ac-
tions as a Government officer in rather
a wrong light.
Mr.. Prosser was not removed from
such position for insubordination and
for being unfit to continue as a public
cfficial." AS an official Mr.. Prosser
was most energetic and capable. And
the department losses a valuable off,
Ger in his retirement.
He was removed from the position of
Deputy Sheriff for disobeying a dis
tinct order of the Sheriff his superior
officer, with whom it was impossible
under the circumstances to continue
him longer as a subordinate.

TUMBLED DOWN STAIRS.
Dangerous Experience of Health Agent
Reynolds.

Health Agent Reynolds had a sing
ular accident last night and a rather
remarkable escape from death. Today
the wears a dozen scars and bruises
and has a couple of dislocated bones
in the right hand The right arm is
in a sling.
While at home Mr. Reynolds started
to leave a room on the second floor
to descend the stairs. At the top he
missed his footing and plunged head
long to the bottom, landing on his head
and shoulders on the lower floor. He
was knocked into Inconsistencies and
so remained for an hour or more. When
restored 1t was found that the most
prominent injury was in the right
hand, as above stated. Mr. Reynolds
feels his neck today and wonders how
on earth ~ escaped. He accounts for
II in the old saying that only the good
