physician who is in Honolulu as a spe-
cial representative of the San Francis
co Board of Health. to study conditions
here. DR.. Katsuki has been on the
ground for nearly three weeks, and
during that time has devoted himself
to careful observations of the methods
adopted in the crusade against the
disease.
DIR. Isatsuh denies the report that
he believes San Francisco &c have had
one or more cases of the plague in the
past year or so, but says that the ru-
NOR evidently came from his discussion
of the San Francisco Board of Health's
investigation of certain suspicious
deaths which occurred in that city a
twelvemonth or so ago. At that time
a number of Chinese living in the
most congested section of Chinatown
were stricken with a peculiar and
deadly malady, which excited intense
fear among the Asiatic population.
An examination by the Boards bae-
teriologist, DR.. Spencer, resulted in his
pronouncing the germs pneumococci
and not the bacteria of the bubonic
plague. Meanwhile a strict quarantine
of Chinatown was enforced and a
thorough fumigation of that district
begun. The scare abated when DR..
| Spencer's report was published, but
there were not wanting physicians and
others to express their belief that the
disease was the genuine bubonic
scou-ge.
DIR. Katsuk said yesterday that he
had had an interview with Chairman
Thurston of the Sanitary Committee
and had been afforded every opportu-
nifty desired to learn for himself the
eact status of the plague and to see in
detail the work of the committee since
its inception.
Certainly Honolulu deserves the
warm commentator and thanks OF
every community for it's magnincent
efforts in coping with the disease,
said DR.. Katsuki. "The individual Ia
bors and the generous expenditures oil
those in charge are on par with the
quickness with which they grasped
the situation. The results speak for
themselves. / have admired the cool
ness and intelligence which the com
mittee has manifested, and when
make my report to the San Francisco
Board of Health shall tell fully OF its
methods and achievements. | hope &c
be able to make for myself, also, an
intimate study of the plague patients
in the pest hospital, and to give to the
San Francisco Board the DEMENT'S oil
my inquiries and experience"
Yesterday afternoon DIR. Katsuk
presented his credentials to President
DIR. WOOD and had a lengthy confer
ence with him. He met the Other
members Of the Board and was greatly
pleased at his reception.

Construction on the Clear.
water Branch which We will
Do for some time,

A Teller reporter interviewed Pres
9. S. Mellen on his arrival~on Sat-
urday night from an inspection of
the recently completed Clearwater
branch of the Northern Pacific. The
private train consisting OF FIVE cars
arrived at the Lewiston depot at II.
30 p. no., and the scribe found the
railroad magnate in his private car
in conversation with Chief Engineer
McHenry. In respoDseto interroga-
tories Mr.. Mellen said eve have
completed all the construction on
the Clear water branch which we
will do for some time to come, OF
course if it is demonstrated to us
that there will be sufficient business
to warrant it we will build along
the Clearwater, but that is a matter
for future consideration, but it is
an assured fact that we will not
build up on Camas Prairie for we
see no reason to warrant it. ! met
the delegation from Grangeville at
Kooskla and saw no reason toichange
my former opinions as to further
construction. The Northern Pacific
is perfectly satisfied with the large.
ly increasing business which we
have in Lewiston.
President Mellen stated positive
ly that Kooskia was the N. Pcs
last station on the Clearwater ex-
tension.--Lewiston Teller.
