Saturdays Fire.

The condemned premises on Nuuanu.
between Marin and Queen streets and
back to the Honolulu Iron Works
property. were burned on Saturday
morning by order of the Board of
Health. The engines were upon the
scene at about s o'clock. but nearly an
hour was spent in removing the heavy
telephone cable from its proximity to
the fire.
At 9 o'clock the match was applied
to the old restaurant on Nuuanu street
and in a few minutes the building was
a mass of flames. The adjoining prem
Uses quickly caught the flames and were
rapidly demolished.
Within two hours from the time the
match was applied. the buildings had
been reduced to ashes and few half
burned timbeTs. The surrounding
buildings were preserved from all
damage and the work was the cleanest
of any the department has done in this
direction.

THE PLAGUE
Two Suspects Being
Treated.
Citizens Committee Meeting--Satur-
days Fire--BIock 10 Ready
- Rigid Quarantine.

Two more suspicious cases were re-
ported to the Board of Health yester-
day.
The first is that Of a japanese wom-
an named Kiwara, 40 years Of age and
residing at a Japanese clearinghouse
on Nuuanu street, just about two doors
beyond the Commercial saloon. md
the same distance from Kukui lane.
She was removed to the pest hospital.
and about sixty members of the same
house were transferred to the Kakaako
camps.
The second case is that of a China
man named Pang Chong. aged %. This
case is from Block No. 10. His trouble
was diagnosed by a Chinese physician
as fever, and he was removed to the
Chinese hospital on a Single trip" pass
by this doctor. DIR. Howard. who saw
this case at the hospital, promptly de-
clared it a very suspicious one. The
patients temperature is 1858 and DR.
Howard has very little doubt of the
genuineness of the case.
In hunting up the house from which
the man was taken it was found that
the landlord had removed all his fur
niture and effects in anticipation of
trouble, and had left only a blanket
upon which the sick man was found.
The missing landlord could not have
got out of the district. but he will
probably regret having saved" his eff
fects.
Block No. 10 is now ready for the APP
plication of the torch, so far as the re-
moval of merchandise is concerned.
but until proper accommodation for
the inmates is provided at the deten-
ton camps. the present conditions
must prevail. IL is expected that the
inmates, which number some $50 peO-
pie, ont of the original 1000 inhabit-
ants, will find quarters today, and
when they and their effects are out.
the largest fire up to date will be
started in the most filthy block in
Chinatown. d.
Numbers of Japs from the district
around the japanese clearinghouse on
Nuuanu street. near Kukui lane, on the
first sign of trouble gathered up their
belongings and migrated elsewhere.
The house is under guard. however,
and nothing can be removed from it.
The clothing of Chinese servants has
been thoroughly fumigated and may be
obtained by owners both today and
tomorrow. by calling at the eOrndy of
Beretania and Nuuanu streets.
Armstrong Smith and G. Elvin will
have charge of the pest hospital at the
rife range, KakaakO. Together with
a Chinese cook they will be the only
persons allowed inside the building.
Health Agent Reynolds was engaged
yesterday in burning up the piles of
refuse left from previous fires. 4 clean
sweep of all rubbish has now been
made and only few smoldering ashes
mark the spots.

Proliae Calf Crop.

Parties who have come in to Pierre
from the range country report the
heaviest calf crop for years, in fact,
a record breaker. The crop OF two
years ago was considered to be at least
% per cent greater than for any for
mer year, and this year is ahead of
that. The winter was so mild that
there was no loss, and all cows came
through fat and strong, and there is
nc loss of calves on account of weak
cattle.
The shipments In here this spring
will also be record breakers, the esti-
mates running from 5000 TO 10000
head of new stock for the range from
that source. The heaviest shipment
received yet was 1000 head, which
came in Saturday and Sunday for the
Minnesota &c Dakota Cattle company,
and March Brothers brought In over
700 head a few days ago. "Scotty"
Philip will be in about the 10th of
next month with $500 head In one
shipment. Nearly every day brings
smaller shipments of from two TO ten
cars. and the aggregate of these ship
ments runs UP into the thousands.
With the increase of shipments and
the heavy natural increrSe of tho
herds the ranges In this part Of the
state will be better stocked at the
close of this yea than they have been
for a long time.

sTILL FOR SOUND MONEY.

A member of the Gold Democracy
says: The Sound Money League is
not to 6e dissolved. The election
which is about to take place involves
the election of twelve United States
senator's, most of whom, if not all, are
i'm states which might be very easily
carried by the Populists or Democrats.
Two of these senators will represent
Nebraska, one West Virginia and one
Montana. The Sound Money League
have work before them trying to pre-
serve these states as far as possible
for the sound aoney cause. There is
a great field for effort in the South in
the STATES which have gone SO heavily
into cotton manufacturing. In fact
the league may do hard work in dis
tributing sound money literature in
those states in which the progress OF
the manufacturing industries and the
subsistence of the ICE issue give an
opening through which they may be
captured for sound money.

PROSPERITY A SURE WINNER.

Lord Beaconsfeld BENJAMIN Disrae-
I'D was a wise statesman In his day,
and q shrewd observer of political
events. He remarked somewhere in
his works that a party IN power con.
tinues to hold Office so. long as the
country is prosperous, but that when
the bad times come, whatever Their
cause may be, TIE ruling admini5tra-
ton is held responsible and is kicked
out in short order.
The truth of this proposition has
been frequently proven 10 American
politics, and never more signally than
in 1896, when the Democratic party,
under whose administration an unpar-
alleled pail of business gloom settled
upon the country, was driven from
power and a Republican president and
Republican majority in congress sub
stituted.
Since prosperity has been restored
under the rule of the Republican party
and promises to continue indefinitely.
it is reasonable to suppose that this
party will, be continued in power. HUI
man nature today is the same as it was
in the time of Disraeii.
A correspondent Of the New York
Times, who signs himself a Democrat,
recognizing the fact that the country is
prosperous TO a degree unknown in
many years, raises the question as to
whether, the Democrats can prevail in
the coming national contest on any
platform. He says that the financial
legislation recently enacted by con
gress. while fixing the gold standard
as the measure of M commercial
transactions, provides at the same
time for an Imitation of the currency
which will inevitably send up prices of
all commodities. He estimates the in
crease of national bank circulation un-
der the currency bill at $1,000, 900, 600
an estimate which is PROFESSIONALLY
too large. But the imitation will I'M
doubtedly be considerable, and the in
crease of circulating medium will nat
urally lead TO higher prices of agri-
cultural and manufactured products of
all kinds. This era of rising prices
will put the voters in a frame of mind
to oppose any change of administra-
tion.-Minneapolis Tribune.

leaders cannot believe that there is
anything appalling in the banks, and
they keep up their assaults chiefly be-

qu~estionably they grossly exaggerated
the number of these persons. This
a ridiculous situation. Men
who act on their belief as to the belief

FALSE PROPHETS ARRAIGNET

tFrom a speech by Congressman
Bailey of Kansas, delivered in Con-

/ remember very distinctly in the
campaign OF 1896 that the Derlo-Pop:
or Kansas carried in their torchl.ght
professions transpareIc.es that rea Il:
Vote for Bryan and dollar wheit,"
Vote for Mckinley and 25-cent
wheat" And the honest farmer, who
was then suffering under the hard
times and business depression Incl
dent to a Democratic administrat on,
that was then upon us, and vas sell
ing his wheat at 35 cents and his corn
from IL to 16 cents, said, Things can
not be any worse than they are now,
and we will take a dose of this new
political nostrum and try it once any
way" But Mr.. Mckinley was elected
President. The gold standard is en-
acted into law, and today the farmers
of the great Middle West are getting
60 cents for their wheat, 80 cents for
their corn; hogs, cattle and horses are
sell ing for from so to 100 per cent more
than they did in 1896, and then you
prophets of evil have the audacity to
stand up in the American Congress
and again make your prophecies of
misfortune that will come TO the
American people if the party is re-
tanned in power under whose adm n
istration prosperity has come III spite

SPANISH TAXATION IN PUERTO
RICO

The Puerto Rican sympathizers who
have been wondering why the Puerto
Ricans have not been making some
protests against the diabolical tariff
tax outrage that has been perpetratea
upon them, may find enlightenment ia
some information concerning the
Spanish taxing methods collected last
fall by Special Commissioner Carroll.
and just published in Washington.
Mr.. CAROLS information is Official,
and undoubtedly may be accepted as
absolutely authentic. II shows that
under the old Spanish regime the
Puerto RicaGs were perhaps the most
oppressively taxed people on earth
Iley were not only required to pay
duties on imports but on exports. In
addition to these duties there was n
special tax ON the loading and unload
ing OF freight, making the taxation OF
commerce the principal means of rev
enue raising. There were innumera
bic direct taxes. Every merchant and
manufacturer was required 10 pay a
tax of 10 per cent on his income. He
had also TO pay a tax upon his real es-
tate and his personal property in pro
portion to the income derived from it
Bankers and professional men paid
taxes on their salaries. New factories
or stores were required TO pay a spa-
cial instalIation tax. The t~ransporta-
ton companies were heavily taxed and
passengers as well as freight were
compelled TO pay taxes. The act of
breathing was about the only function
Of the Puerto Ricans that was abso
lutely free from taxat on.-Sioux City

A PERIOD OF GREAT PROGRESS

A PERIOD OF GREAT PROGRESS.
A few days ago Secretary Gage de-
livered an address in Philadelphia, in
which he presented some highly inter.
esting and instructive figures showing
the progress the United States has
made in the last thirty years. In that
period the population has increased
substantially 100 per cent, but marked
as this increase is it is far less than
the growth in nearly all other dirtc-
lions. In railroad extension and BIS
mess, In manufacturing, in commercial
expansion, in industrial developm mt
and in almost all other respects the
percentage of growth has been several
times greater than that of population.
In agriculture wheat and corn have not
much increased beyond the ratio OF IN
crease Ia population, but the diversity
of products has greatly increased.
Mr.. Gage did not point out to what
this marvellous progress is largely due,
but everybody familiar with the his
tory of this period must be supposed TO
know this. The policy of the Republi-
can party in respect to American in

from ii was enormous.-Omaha Bee.
