to come to its relief, the life forces are
rapidly consumed and both physical

GUEST OF WELLESLEY.
Elaborate Preparations Tor Entertainment o.
Helen Gould by Senior Glass.

New York, May 15.-Ela borate prepa
ratiOns are being made by the senior
class of Wellesley to entertain Miss
Helen Gould, next month. says a spec
ial to the Press from Wellesley. Miss
Gould has accepted the invitation OF
the class of 1900. of which she already
an honorary member, to be the guest OF
the college.
A large reception and garden party
will be given in her honor. 1t is be-
ing arranged on extensive lines even
for Wellesley girls, whose reputation
for lavish entertainments is well
known. In addition to the entertain
ment. it is semi POLITICALLY announced
that a degree is to be conferred on
Miss Gould. The reason for comforting
the degree is on account of Miss
Goulds many gifts in the aid and adj
vancement of womanhood and for her
many efforts to relieve suffering.
While there is not the slightest init
nation that the Wellesley faculty and
trustees have any other than the high
est motive in comforting this degree,
also distinguished as Miss Gould Is. il
it thought probable here that she will
not feel that she has requitted fully
her obligations to the college until she
has given it some substantial indica-
ton Of her appreciation of the honor.

Washington, May l5.-The cabinet,
today. discussed the reception to be
accorded the Boer delegation which
has just arrived in this country. The
decision was TO make no unnecessary
technical points against the delegates,
but to treat them with as much liber-
atty as is possible without a breach
of the diplomatic proprieties. Thus, if
they have any credentials. the dele
gates will be afforded opportunity to
present them to the state department.
1t is said that there is precedent for
this line of action. But it is under
stood by the administration that this
delegation does not come in a diplo-
matte capacity. the problem connected
with their reception is considerably
smplified and our officials will not be
called upon to extend any form of rec
ognition of the Independence of the
Boer republics, which might be re-
garded as interference in the dispute
which led to the existing war.

Several words of advice have been
offered to the Chinese citizens regard
ing their conduct while black plague
threatens the community. II Is ap-
parent that more words are necessary
to bring the average Oriental to his
senses. The quarantine Of Chinatown
with it's consequent interference with
trade Is harsh measure, but 1t must
be continued in force until every Celes-
tial in town becomes convinced that he

thorlties in their work of stamping out
the disease. The general quarantine Is
only necessary because of the, at first
Indifferent and finally threatening at
| titude of the Chinese. BY failure Ia
report and endeavoring to hide plague
cases, thoughtless ones have accom-
plished their own financial misfortune
As some Chinese yet show that they are
not amenable to reason, the authori'
ties have taken the right course, In
declaring u general quarantine of the
center from which threats emanate un-
til every Highlander is convinced that
he must fall into line with the intel
ligent men of his race. We are dis
posed to believe that the efforts OF
sensible Chinese will prevail among
their obstreperous countrymen, mean
while 1t is necessary for the authorities
and the guards to deal vigorously with
any attempts OF Chinatown citizens to
play the part Of the criminal fool.

cULLoM AND EXPANSION.

At the exercises held at Chicamauga
Park to dedicate the monuments rails
ed in honor of Illinois soldiers of tho
Civil War, Senator Cullom was one oi
the principal speakers of the day. The
Senator said in part:
This land was born in the travail
and trouble Of the Revolution. The
glories of our great conflicts inspire MS
TO greater and higher acts Of patriot
ism as we follow the course which duty
marks for us. Every step our beloved
nation takes in the line Of human lib
erty has become expressive of advance
meut-mosi dear 10 the heart of every
American. All serious talk Of i'm
perial!sm or OF un-American restric-
ton is gratuitous and uncalled for.
1T is as proper for this country
to grow and expand as it was to be
born. 1t was born to live and 1t lived
TO expand its sphere of usefulness. II
lives not merely to absorb territory
and become great and wealthy, but to
justify its birth and ancestry. 1t lives
to make the world better and broader
and to glorify the God of Nations. The
proofs Of Gods special favor have been
showered upon the United States. Let
that arm be palsled which would take
single laurel from the crown Of
American glory. Our conflicts We're
waged in the interest of the human
race. The wars Of ancient history
were the brutalities ordained by some
ruler in selfish struggle for domin-
ion. Ours We're to maintain a prin-
ciple."

STAND BY THE BOARD.

The Bulletins suggestion for the
wedding out of the population Of
Chinatown now dOmicilod in unsani-
tary houses has met with a hearty re-
Spouse from the people Of Honolulu.
The committee appointed by George
w. Smith is made up of men who can
be depended upon for sharp, sensible
action ana whatever may have been
the criticisms or chickering's of the past
the Board of Health now has the I'M
qualified and unanimous support of
the entire community.
At no time since the plague made its
appearance in Honolulu has the Board
Of Health been Indifferent to the Sc
rious responsibility resting upon 1t,
nor failed to appreciate the necessity
for radical action nor have its mem
bers been influenced by politics in any
single act. If the plague has not been
stopped, the people may at least thank
God that petty chickering's are at an
end and the community has resolved
itself into a unanimous committee of
the whole to support and lend aid to
the efforts of the Board of Health. In
whose action and recommendations
full confidence may be placed.
As the Bulletin understands the stu
alton. the Board has held that the de-
struction of individual houses in
Chinatown has been questionable
measure. Owing to the crowded con-
dition of the houses it Is practically
impossible to prevent rats, the chief
source Of infection, from passing to
other houses OF the block during the
progress Of the fire.
The only method Of destruction that
guarantees proper degree of safety is
Ia remove residents of infected blocks.
This leaves open space on all sides
and killed. The eventual course to be
followed must he destruction by fire.
but ii is worse than useless TO drive in
fected rats from house 10 homse with
the result that Infection Is spread.
Meanwhile residents Of infected
blocks must be removed to sanitary
quarters. When humanity has been
cared for, an effective attack with fire
upon the rats and infected buildings
can be made.
This is the work that has now begun
and begun in earnest. Fire will be used
when fire can be made most effective.
Don't jump at conclusions. Don't
accept every current rumor and spread
it as a rumor or truth. Remember
that every member of the Board of
Health and every member of every
committee is fighting this thing as a
fight for the life of the community.

tial Congressional friends of Hawaii
that the prospects for the enactment Of
a bill giving Hawaii full American ter
ritorial rights were never more reas-
surfing. While different theories are
being casually discussed in the hotel
Hobbies the strong undcrcurrent of for
chile sentiment, that is worth anything
and which will make itself felt when
the Hawaiian bill comes before Con-
gress for action. is steadfast in its sup
port of the principle that Hawaii shall
be granted al the privileges of trade
and political freedom of the territories
of the Mainland.
Hartwell's letters demonstrate one
of two things possibly both. He is
either attempting to show that the ma
iority of Congress is opposed to Ha-
waits best interests, consequently the
necessity of paying him $1,000 month
from the Diplomatic and Consular APP
preparation. or else his wide acquain-
lance in Washington is principally
among those men in disfavor with the
Administration and opposed to the Re
publican policy of dealing with Ha-
wall: with these men who for political
reasons will not change their attitude
when It comes to vote, Hartwell hob
nobs and is consequently filled with
dire forebodings of the future.
As a representative in Washington
Special Agent" Hartwell is the most
useless piece of official furniture pos
sessed by the defunct Republic of Ha-
wall. And the worst part of 1t is. he is
being paid from the publics funds to
send reports to Hawaii which any man
at all conversant with the current
magazine literature of the day could
easily compile in Honolulu.
