From the study of clouds Prof. r..
H. Bigelow, of the United States
weather bureau, concludes that the
ordinary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not
more than two or three miles in depth,
although their diameter is many hun
dreds of miles. In other words, their
motion does not affect the upper re-
gions of the atmosphere: In the case
of hurricanes Prof. Bigelow finds that
the depth is greater, amounting to as
much as five or six miles. But the
higher currents blow directly across
the cyclonic and anti-cyclonic areas
which produce storms and fair wealth
er at the surface of the earth Some
of Prof. Bigelow's conclusions upset
former ideas concerning the circula-
ton of the atmosphere.

has increased by 25 per cent. in the last
three years. This is ascribed to the
increased consumption of alcohol"
AS every tippler knows, absinthe is
an opaline green liquor, an alcoholic
extract of NORWOOD, redistilled.
When occasionally used it is supposed
to be tonic and stomachic. But when
foolish men habitually drink it to ex-
cess they are apt to get into a mad
house to be treated for morbid con-
dition different from ordinary alcohol
ism. They may have vertigo OF con-

lucinations, without any other symp-
toms of delirium tremens. Yarmouth
is made of white wine favored with
NORWOOD and other ingredients.
De Galliffet is brave to forbid the sale
of these favorite drinks at camps and
barracks. He risks his popularity to
do good to men who will be thankless.
But de Galliffet has always been brave,
in the Crimea, in Africa, in Mexico, at
Sedan, in Paris, when he thrashed the
communists, on the dueling field. The
minister of war, who shows so much
care for other mems stomachs, wears
silver plate over his own stomach.
It covers frightful wound that would
have killed most men.

Gen. GaIliHst. Minister of War; Pre-

Gen. Marquis de Galliffet. French
minister of war, again proved his braV-
cry when he dared to promulgate an
order that hereafter no absinthe. YER
mouth, brandy or other spirits shall be
sold iu any French barracks or camp
Gen. de Galliffet does not propose 10
fill the lunatic asylums with his braves
of the army. Hereafter French SOL
diers In barracks and camps will have
TO content themselves with wine. beer
and cider.
Gen. de Galliffet's bravery in Issuing
such an order Is the more remarkable
when one remembers the immense con-
sumption in France, and particularly
by soldiers, of brandy and the so-called
"aueritifs, such as absinthe and YER
mouth. "Aperitif hour" between six
and seven p. M, is an institution IN
France, especially in Paris. The cafes
are filed with men slipping the opales-
cent absinthe and the appetizing YER
mouth.
But for some time leading medical
men have strongly condemned the hao-
1t, declaring that brandy and the chief
alcoholic connections sold as "aper1-
tifs" are rapidly making lunatics OF
those who habitually drink them to ex-
cess.

LOCAL COURT OF CLAIMS
MR.. DOLE AUTHORIZED TO NAME
MEMBERS.
important Despatch From Secretary
Hay to the Presldent-Payment Of
Fire Damages.

President Dole received by the Nip
pom Maru last night a very important
despatch from Washington in regard
to the court Of claims and settlement
of losses sustained by Chinatown fires.
The message is from Secretary Hay di-
rect and bears the instructions Of Presl-
dent Mckinley. 1t reads as follows:
Washington, u. c., Feb. 9, 1900.
President Sanford B. Dole,
Honolulu.
"Care of Captain of Nippon Maru,
Pacific Mail Steamship wharf, San
Francisco, Gala.
"The President approves you appoint
ing five persons to take evidence of
losses caused by the burning of China
town in Honolulu and to make awards
or judgments on such losses to be paid
out of appropriation made by the Ha-
waiian Council of State in conformity
with Hawaiian laws.
JOHN HAY"
The question Of how President Nc
Kinley would proceed in the court mat
ter has been mooted here for days.
Some thought a jury would be sent
down from the mainland, or, at any
rate, the Washington government
would appoint its members. President
Dole will in a few days select the five
men to serve.
The latter part of the despatch, re-
ferring to funds, amounts to nothing
unless it is the intention of the Pre-
sident to invest the Council of State
with full legislative powers. 1t states
that the damages shall be paid "out
of appropriations made by the Ha-
waiian Council of State in conformity
with Hawaiian laws" AS settling
damages is not stamping out the
plague, the Council of State can not
approriate money for the purpose "un-
der Hawaiian laws"
The despatch is significant in that It
seems to indicate the investment of the
Council of State, at later time, with
complete powers and authority to act
in all matters until legislature Is
elected under territorial laws.

INSURANCE WILL Be PAID
FIREMEN'S FUND TAKES THE
LEAD.
Recognizes All Chinatown Claims Ex-
cept on Houses Actually Taken by
the Board of Health.

The Firemens Fund Insurance Com
pany this morning "broke the ice" in
the matter of claims on account of the
Chinatown fires.
The company will do this: 1t will not
pay insurance on buildings actually ta-
ken possession of and burned by the
Board of Health; but it will pay for
all buildings burned, if not taken pos
session of by the Board of Health be-
fore hand, whether such buildings had
been condemned or not
In other words, in the great fire of
January 20, the company will not pay
losses in the Waikiki end of Block 1h,
which was condemned, taken pc session
of and fired by the Board of Health
but in other parts of that BLOCK and on
all other buildings burned from the
time the fire got beyond control IL win
pay. That means that the company
will pay insurance on all it, buildings
in Chinatown except those in the Wal
l1il1i end of Block Is.
In Aala a new condition arises. The
actual taking possession of buildings
by the Board of Health for the purpose
of burning will be the condition upon
which the company will settle. 1t is
a question whether the buildings be-
tween Aala road and Aala lane were so
taken possession of or not. The fire
was accidental but it has always been
understood that the buildings had been
evacuated upon orders of the Board Of
Health for the purpose of burning
With respect to the buildings on the
Waikiki side of Aala lane up to the
warehouses the company admits its Ia
bility for any insurance it may there
have.
Our contracts protect the holder
! against accident of any kind" said Mr..
Sexton, adjuster of the Firemen's Fund
this morning. 1T is not clear to the
company that we should have to pay
| for the buildings in Chinatown which
would eventually have been burned
anyway by the Board of Health, but
surely the fire was not the fault of the
owners of the buildings, 1t having got
beyond the control of the department
in another quarter of the district. We
purpose paying the insurance, assuming
the claims of our policy holders and
then looking to the Board of Health or
| Hawaiian Government to indemnify us
for any loss unfairly sustained
"I am not prepared to say what any
of the other companies will do. l do
know that some of them have the New
| York form of contract, which is differ
ent firm ours and it may be that they
will recognize no liability whatever un'
der them. At the same time | must
say that all of the companies with In
surance in Chinatown are just to fault
and l am sure they will all do what
! they conceive to be fair under theil
contracts. With us we are doing wha
we conceive to be the terms of our con
tracts and nothing more"
1t is learned from other insurance
men that a great many local agencies
have London, Liverpool, Brennan and
other European cities as headquarter:
ana it will take some time to hear from
their head offices.

A BARRED OVERHEARD.

Two sailors from the Jane L. STAN
ford came to the Inter-Island wharf at
noon today to fill a large barrel with
water. They filled it and started back
in their small boat The barrel rolled
to one side, the boat turned turtle and
both men were thrown into the water
They spent a long time trying to lift
the barrel back into their little boat,
but could not hoist it and only succeed
ed in getting a lot of salt water mixed
with the fresh inside. Then someone
suggested that they tow the barrel to
the vessel as 1t was and they went
back with it, to hoist 1t, empty it and
return for another try.

A PROTEST FILED.

There was an unexpected happening
this morning in the court in the matter
of the estate of the late D. B. Smith.
Chief Clerk Smith received a telegram
from George H. Brown, cashier or a
bank at Statesvllle, N. c., protesting
against the appointment of Cecil Brown
as administrator of the estate and
naming E. I. Spalding as the proper
administrator. The North Carolina
Brown says he is the largest creditor
of the estate.
Cecil Brown had not yet been ap-
pointed administrator but had been Sc
lected by the local parties interested.
1t is understood that George H. Brown
had had business dealing with the late
Mr.. Smith for years and that their
financial correspondence passed largely
through Mr.. Spalding at Spreckels
bank. Statesville was the old home of
Mr.. Smith.

TYPHOID IN GUAM.

Sherman made the round trip from
San Francisco in siXty-th days on
the outward trip she made Guam, eN-
pecting to coal there from the Brutus.
The latter had gone to Manila with the
Victoria in tow. On the way over nine
cases of measels broke out among he
colored troops on board, and she was
not permitted to enter the harbor at
Guam. The Ladronees took to the hills
when they heard of the measels. Many
years ago the islands were nearly de-
populated by the disease.
Governor Leary sent out word that all
was well in his territory. The YOse-
mite of the navy was the only vessel in
port, and she had on board twenty
eight cases of tYphoid fever

Reported on.

WASHINGTON, February Sat a
meeting of the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries today
it was decided to make a favorable re-
port on the bill introduced by General
GrosVenOr to extend the laws relating

citizens of the islands and which con-
tinue to be so owned to the date of
naturalization and which have Ha-
waiian register. temporary or perma-
nent. The trade between the islands
and any other portion of the United
States shall be regulated in accordance
with the provisions of law applicable
to such trade between any two great
coasting districts. The Act is to be-
come effective one year after it's pas
sage.
Senator Foster of Washington today
laid before the Senate petition pray
ing that there be inserted in the new
Constitution for Hawaii a clause pro-
hibiting the sale and manufacture of
alcoholic liquor and continuing the
prohibition of gambling and the opium
trade in these Islands.

NO PLAGUE TO-DAY.

Today-Plague deaths, o. Pague
cases, 0; suspicious cases, o.
Over ten days have passed since the
last plague case in Honolulu.
The Chinese child in Magoonville,
which has been under guard and sur
Yeillance for more than a week, is
much better. The case is probably not
one of plague, but so long as there are
the slightest suspicious circumstances
the physicians do not care to relax the
quarantine there.
There are fifteen patients in the pest
hospital. Mrs. Franz and j. IL Hart
man are no better today, though fever
is not so high as a week ago.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Hoffman de-
clared that the man Koalii, removed
from the kerosene detention camp on
February 5, has not the plague. This
was great relief to the people at the
camp as 1t meant their liberation this
morning.

AUSTRALIA IN QUARANTINE.
Only Way for Microbes to Reach Her
is Over the Telephone.


The Australia is again in strict qua
rantine. She is in the stream. No one
is allowed to board her and none to
leave. Fred Whitney communicates
business to the officers by shouting
from a small boat in the harbor. There
is a telephone in the vessel that the
office of the company can communicate
directly with Captain Lawless and Pur-
ser McCombe. Rules for passengers
going by the Australia are the same as
last time. Should there be no more
plague in Honolulu there will not, how
ever, likely to be the same trouble as
in January at San Francisco.
By the way, one cause of the deten-
tion of the Australia's passengers a bit
longer than was intended was the ILL
ness of the barkeeper. He was taken
sick shortly after the passengers had
been landed on Angel Island and DIR.
Kinyoun hesiteted nearly two days on
the case. Mr.. Curtis Samuel o'Posen)
also became obstreporous won the i'll
will of the authorities and caused a
second delay. The Oceanic Steamship
Company did everything possible for
the comfort of the passengers, and the
actual expenses of the delay to them
was only $3.50 each.
