THE ORPHEUM.

Several years ago, a bright manager
of one of the largest vaudeville houses
in America in trying to solve the diff
cult problem of finding out exactly
what would suit all of the people, all
of the time, hit upon the idea of a con-
tinuous performance.
In such a program a bright breezy
farce of melodrama is made the chief
item into which are introduced suitable
specialties by the vaudeville talents:
then between acts come the other turns
which could not fit in the play and so
without a break the evening goes on
and the public undoubtedly get eX-
teptional value for their money. So
successful was this idea that il has
since been almost universally adopted
and is now to be applied to Honolulu.
The strong dramatic or rather farcial
ability of the Orpheum's present com
pany has shown itself to be so drawing
a card of late in the sketches produced
that the management has decided to
produce John Dillon's play "a Cheerful
Liar" one of the wittiest comedies of
modern times, light yet with a good
plot, laugh in every line and with
every part, in actor parlance, a fat one.
Songs will be plentifully scattered
thoroughout the piece and between acts
the vaudeville talent proper of the
house will be brought to bear. This
new departure should prove a popular
one, great effort having been put forth
to give the Orpheum patrons the full
worth of their money and little more

JAPANESE EIMPORTERSRISE
OBJECT TO PROHIBITION OF FOOD
49,. STUFFS.
Say they are Necessary Articles of Diet
and Were Used by The Board of
Health itself.

Japanese merchants and merchants
dealing in Japanese goods are consider
ably wrought up over the action of the
Board of Health in relation to the i'm
portation of Japanese food stuffs. There
is movement on foot to memorialiZe
the President not to place the prohibi-
ton on importations that has been ask
ed for by the Board of Health, at least
without further inquiry into the matter
The Board has asked that the importa-
ton of articles coming under the fol-
lowing classification be prohibited, as
long as there is plague in any asiatic
port. This the importers feel means an
absolute prohibition of importation be-
cause there is almost always plague in
some Asiatic port, although there has
been comparatively little plague in any
Japanese port and none since January
13. The prohibited classification is as
follows:
Substances dried or salted in manu-
featuring, not subjected to heat and
capable of carrying infection. Incapa-
bic of being disinfected: Cutie fish and
other dried fish, oranges, dates, lichees,
nuts, fugus, duck, pork, sausage, dried
meats, dried vegetables, cabbage, olives
birds nests, eggs, mizo Cooked rice and
beans), sea weed, mushrooms"
The importers say that most of the
japanese articles in this list and parti-
cularly mizo, are articles of everyday
Giet among the Japanese, as much as
meat, or butter is among Americans OF
Europeans, They say further that tC

self has issued these articles and parti
| cularly mizo, as a ration among thu
Japanese in the detention camp, and
nothing leading to suspect it as a source
of infection or as a carrier of infection
has been discovered. In view of al
this the importers hope that the impor
tation of these goods will not he pro

proof that there is liability to infection

LETTERS FROM HARTNELL
ExIsTANCE OF LEGISLATURE is
NOT RECOGNIZED.
Mckinley Would Ask Congress to Re-
suscitate it Temporarily-Other Mat
ters in the Cabinet.

President Dole and Minister Mott
Smith had letters by the Rio from Gen.
Hartwell, at Washington, dated Febru-
airy IL. 1t appears that at that time
President Mckinley had planned to ask
Congress to re-empower the old Legis-
lature of Hawaii so that necessary
legislation might go on at this impor-
tant juncture.
The impression made upon the local
Government is that Mckinley does not
recognize the existance of the Legisla-
ture, despite his letter of May 13 last
continuing it's members in office. Up to
February II Congress had not been ask
ed to act in the matter, but, on the con-
trary, it looked as if the enabling act
was to be hurried through, meeting the
same purpose.
Attorney General Cooper presented at
the meeting of the Cabinet this morning
lengthy brief on the court of claims
and liability of the Government in diff
| ferent classes of claims to come before
| it. The law recognizes no claims against
the Government from tort, and an i'm
portant question is whether or not these
claims are tort; then there is the ques-
ton of whether or not it can hear claims
excluded by law without an act of the
legislature. A second brief by the At
| torney General was in regard to the
claim of the Sumner Estate to a part
| ownership of quarantine island. Mr.
| Cooper agrees with all former attorney
generals that the Estate owns only fish
ing rights on the reef and has no claim
to the island of any nature whatever.
Matter of amending the charter of the
Kohala Sugar Company, to permit the
corporation to sell any steam, water OF
electric power of railways that it may
| have, was discussed and no action was
! taken.

GH[EE Hunt SUSPENDED.

James H. Hunt has been suspended
as Chief of the Fire Department pend
ing the investigation of charges of neg
lect of duty brought before the Board
of Commissioners of the Honolulu Fire
Department. Charles H. Thurston,
Senior Foreman of the Department has
been made Acting Chief until further
orders, and notice of this appointment
has been given to all members of the
department.
THE responsibility for the fire de-
partment rests on the Board of Com
missioners,' said one of the members,
'and we must bear the responsibility
even if it may be unpleasant at times.
The charges could not be ignored, and
Chief Hunt was suspended pending in
vestigation. The firemen must know
from whom they are to take orders,
hence they were notified that Thurs
ton was acting chief until further or
ders."

who is a guest at the California Hotel,
this morning appeared in Judge Mo-
gan's department of the Police Court
and caused a warrant to be issued for
the arrest of l.. r.. Hare, a mining pro
moter, who has offices in the Crocker
building. He charges him with en-
bezzlement. In the complaint filed by
his attorney, Joseph j. Dunno, the doc
tor accuses Hare of misappropTiating
the sum of $3,245 out of money belong
ing to him and given to Hare for puc-
poses of investment. This is the doc
tors story:
He came here from Honolulu in Aug
ust last for the purpose of investing
money in gold mining. In pursuance of
his object he met Hare and gave into
his keeping $4,000. Subsequently Hare
returned $4,000 and kept the remainder
on the representation that he would in
vest it in some gravel mines. This was
on September IL, 1899. Now instead Of
so doing, Hare the alleges, used but
$3.50 for investment purposes and kept
$3,245, of which he has given no account
up to date.
The complaint more specifically des-
cribes the alleged embezzlement as hav-
ing been of $S.245 given TO Hare TO liqUi-
date a debt, owing E. NJ. Keys and T..

and all is we'll now.
Directors of the Chinese hospital are
making arrangements to have an ex-
perienced physician regularly in charge
there in place of the vernacular
incumbent at present employed. 1t is
not improbable that one of the call

be asked to take the work.
DR.. Davis was this morning called to
the Reformatory school to examine
Herbert blanchard. a boy there. He
found a swelling in the axillary below
the right arm but discovered that it
came from bad sore on the hand.
During last night the same doctor
was called to Punchbowl and King
streets on report that a man was dead
in the road. 1t was a case of whiskey
and not plague. The victim" was a
barber of the city.

THE WARREN REFUSES TO TAKE
THEM.
General Wheeler's Advice to One of the
Men Who Asked Him to Arrange for
transportation.

The transport Warren takes no SOL
diers from Honolulu. 1t was decided
by those in authority that the risk of
getting the big steamer into an ex-
pensive quarantine was too great. il
anyone from here was taken on board,
The Warren's officers hope to escape
quarantine. They have stayed on board
all the time and have not allowed any
one to go on the vessel except the
workmen Of the Honolulu Iron Works,
who repaired the machinery that was
in bad order when she arrived.
The soldiers who are in Honolulu,
discharged and anxious to get away
will have to go into quarantine in order
to have chance to go on any armv
vessel. General Wheeler wrote the fol-
lowing letter to private Vincent, who is
member of the generals former com
mand in Cuba and visited him with a
view to getting his assistance in secur-
ing passage on the steamer:
AFTER l saw you l talked with Cap
tain Miles and he agreed that YOU
could go in the ship provided you could
get certificate that you had not been
exposed for fifteen days. The captain
of the ship and Captain Miles both say
that they would not be justified in al
lowing men to come aboard except with
certificates which would save the shin
from being quarantined upon reaching
san Francisco. The loss of q days
Tor ship like this is a loss of some
$2l,OO to the government
Il have told them that so far as I
was concerned l had no objection of
running the risk of being quarantined
put nave no authority on the shin as
! am only passenger. and the captair
of the ship and Captain Miles. the
quartermaster are the only one in au-
| thority.
IF you or any of the other men get
such certificate as above indicat ted
| they VIII take you. If the men cannot
| get such certificate now they should
be notified to avoid exposure for hfteer
days, so as to get a certificate to &c

| time
II also talked with Captain Hart HI
and Captain Miles are both anxious
TO DO what they can. but they do MOI
