THE DELEGATE
His Latest Letter to
Health Board.
Mr.. LOebenstein Gracefully Accepts
the S uation and Makes Few
Sug estions About Agents.

Delegate Loebenstein has gracefully
accepted the ultimatum of the Board
of Health and signifies his setback by
eaIling the Boards attention to an in
-advertence in the selection of special
agents. Upon his recommendation Mr..
Paul Jarret was commissioned as spe-
cial agent for Kawaihae.
The opinion in Hilo seems strong
against the shipment of any goods
from Honolulu, for he. protests
against the landing of a consignment
of liquor and the mails at Kawaihae,
both of which, after a thorough fumi-
CATION, are classed as permitted
freight.
The writer doubts whether Mr.
Walker would accept the wand of Office
| for his district, and points out the i'm
possibility of Mr.. Lidgate accepting re-
sponsibilty for district in which he
| reply is as follows:

Honolulu, Jan. 81, 1900.
c. b. Wood, MD, President Board of
Health.-Dear Sir: Your several COM
lmunications, bearing date of the Goth
inst and notifying me of the action
taken by the Board of Health relative
to health matters on the Island of Ha-
wall, have been duly received and con-
sidered.
Having taken such steps for the fur
Their safeguarding of the public health
in the different districts of the Island
of Hawaii, by the delegation of its au-
thority to special agents in those dis
tricts, there is every reason to COM
mend the action taken by your Board
and to assure you and the agents com
missioned by it of the general support
of the Island of Hawaii.
81 Permit me. however, to call your az
Itention to an inadYertence in the cho:c
! of two nominees and their districts Of
$ jurisdiction. Mr.. Walker, being a res
4 ident of North Hilo, and as such should
be duly appointed for his district, while

could not be prevailed upon to accep
- responsibility for a district remot'
: from his own sphere of action. l doubt

above matter.
There is, furthermore, an omission il

tportant port like Kawaihae, an
where, upon my arrival a week ago,
found that the steamer Upolu ha
landed a quantity Of liquor and larg
consignment of mail matter, both I'm

Kawaihae, being mainly a feeder 70

AN AMERICAN MISSIONARY
HORRIBLY TORTURED IN CHINA,

SAN FRANCISCO, July ia
Chronicle special from Victoria,
II. c., says;
AdVices received from North
China contain particulars of the
awful torture inflicted ON the
Rev. v. III. Norman. who, with
Rev. c. Robinson, was among
the first of the American mis-
sionaries to become victims of
the Boxers. 4 correspondent
writing from Tien Tsin on june
says some refugees who had
arrived there gathered from
Chinese CHASTITY details of the
torture inflicted ON Norman.
IL seems that he fell into the
hands of LII, the head man of a
little town near the Anglican
mission. where ne and Robin
son had their headquarters. Lii
had, a short time before. lost a
son in n quarrel between Box
ers and Christians. when the
converts had driven OF the Box
ers from the mission. and he
vowed vengeance. This he took
in a horrible manner when Nor
man was thrown into his hands.

CRANK LETTER WRITERS
Are Annoying Both the American and
Chinese Officials at Washington.

Are Annoying Both the American ana
Chinese Officials at Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The gov
eminent authorities are finding the
present Chinese agitation is having
the usual effect of stimulating cranks
and agitators, and many of the highest
officials are receiving anonymous let
ters containing advice and sometimes
threats. The Chinese officials also are
the victims of foolish illusions. They
are not considered seriously, however,
and the officials, both of the govern
ment and Chinese, dismiss them as
silly emanations from ignorant per-
sons. On their face, some of these
communications look belligerent, but
their illiteracy and bragadocio modify
their effect. The government officials
express regret that in the delicate po-
sition in which the country is placed
at this time it should be embarrassed
BY anonymous writer's, and steps are
being taken quietly to apprehend the
guilty parties.

matter now stands, it virtually re-
leases the Gar from his obligations to
the foreign powers to act in concert
with them in China. He is placed
thereby in position to act independ-
emily.
Should a Russian army, proceeding
from Siberia, reach Pekin and capture
it before the allies could get to it
from the Pacific coast, the Gar would
be able to dictate terms to China in
dependently of the other powers and
without any regard to their wishes,
virtually establishing himself as mas,
ter of the country
The British and German
governments, alarmed at the idea of
this eventuality, have to-day decided
to abandon the policy which they have
pursued until now, and to declare
thus placing themselves in a line with
Russia, and France and the United
States are expected to follow suit i'm
mediately.
France has indeed already issued to-
day a decree forbidding the sale of
arms or of war material of any kind
to the Chinese, while Germany, which
has already prohibited the Chinese
envoy at Berlin from communicating

the German foreign office, is preparing
to give him his passports.
Here in London the Chinese min
lister has already packed all belong
ings, removed his boys from the
schools which they have been attend
ms and cancelled all his engagements,
so as to be ready for immediate de-
parture.
In addition to the corps of the imper-
ial Chinese army
Which Has Invaded Siberia
with orders to drive all foreigners out
of the rich gold bearing Amur province
of the czar, there are five other corps,
one of which is engaged in destroying
the Russian railroad in Manchuria and
in driving all the foreigners, especially
Russians, from the northern portion
of the empire; another is to Occupy the
roads between Pekin and Shan Hal
Kwan, yet another is to concentrate at

rected in hot haste to Tien Tsin. to the
