Mr., BRYAN has had two chances
to state his position on public ques-
tions with marked emphasis and will
soon have third. In his speech to
the notification committee, he put
imperialism in front. In his speech
to the populists he put silver to the
front. In his Forthcoming letter ac-
cepting the democratic nomination
it is said that he will put trusts in
front. Yet the republican papers say
that he has deserted now one, now
the other, of these issues.

MUST KEEP TO THE RIGHT
JUDGE WILCOX ON THE LAW OF
THE ROAD.
All Persons have Equal Rights in the
Highways Which the Law of the
Road Protects.

Judge Wilcox laid down the law of
the road this morning and gave notice
to the public by $40 fine that persons
using the road must keep to the right
of the road when meeting other persons
who are using the same road.
The fine was administrated in the
case of Republic of Hawaii VS.. c. Tobin
a licensed hack driver Last night
about o'clock the guard in charge of
block l9 locked the gate on the Hotel
street side of the fence and was then
standing talking with a couple of ac-
quaintances in the street, four or five
feet from the fence. Within two or
three minutes Tobin came driving along
in his hack from the direction of Nuu-
anu street at pace variously estima-
ted by different witnesses at from six
to eight miles an hour. He was driving
on the left hand side of the street, and
narrowly avoided knocking one of the
men down, the front wheel of the hack
grazing the mans leg.
Tobin was vigorously defended but
the court held that under the statute
he was clearly guilty of needless driv-
Dg. The fact that he was on the left
hand side of the road in utter disre-
gard of the rights of the three men,
| though they were not in a vehicle, had
equal rights in the road with the de-
! fendant showed that he was needless
independent of the fact of the speed at
which he was driving when approach
/ ing a cross street where the view both
to right and left was obstructed.
| Judge Wilcox laid especial emphasis
on the fact that the defendant was or
the left hand side of the road instead OF
on the right hand side, when the evil
dence showed that the street at that
point was clear and there was no rea.
son why he should not have kent tC
the right.

PROVISIONING KoNA

KAILUA, February 12.-The business
men of North and South Kona have
taken steps to organize under the name
of The Planters and Merchants Asso-
ciation' Recent events have hastened
this step, which. no doubt, will conduce
to the districts veal.
The ship Planter" is expected at
l<ailua in a few days; she loaded at
San Francisco, with a general cargo
for Hackfeld & Co., and sailed from
thence February 8.
The 'Upolu" too, is bringing food
stuffs from Honoipu and will distribute
her small cargo before middle of pre-
sent week. The retail price of beef has
been raised an average of 25 per cent.
Steaks selling at 10 cents per pound.
The increase of meat-eating has great

RAT KILLING SATURDAY.

The Citizens Sanitary Committee
yesterday morning decided that the
placing of poison for the determination
of rate should begin next Saturday
and be continued for one week. The
poison will be distributed by sub-in-
spectors in the various districts. There
will be no charge for the blocks of poi
son. Householders who wish it will be
paid 10 cents each for rats killed on
their premises.
The committee believes that the COM
hined movement, extending from Dia-
mond Head to Moanalua, will result
in the complete destruction of rodents

NOTICE To SHIPPERS.

In the matter of disinfection or fumi-
distinctions between that destined for
points on the Island of Oahu and that
destined to points on other islands.
The original cases must be opened
and the straw or loose paper wrapper
or sawdust or other packing material
removed from each bottle or tin, each
bottle or tin is then to be dipped in an
approved disinfecting solution; the in
terror of the original case is then to be
washed out with disinfectant; in re-
packing the already disinfected bottle
or tin no wrapper may be used unless
same has first been fumigated or dis
infected; the filled case is to be closed
up and the entire exterior is to be dis
infected.
In cases where the timed or bottled
goods have no loose paper or straw
wrapping, or where they are not packed
in saw dust or any similar substance
the entire original package, after two
or more large openings have been made
in it, may be dipped in a disenfecting
solution; but great care must be ex-
ercised to ensure the thorough olsen
fection of each tin or bottle and the
whole interior of the original package
as well as the whole exterior surface of
such original package.
Shippers having the interests of the
entire island community at heart will
exercise very cheerfully every precau-
tion and assist rather than impede the
efforts of the Board of Health in pre-
venting a further spread of bubonic
plague in these Hawaiian Islands.
Willful infringement or careless dis
regard of these or other regulations of
the Board of Health on the part OF
shippers will be followed by the imme-
diate withdrawal of privilege of ship.

NINTH CLEAR DAY PASSED
ALL SATISFACTORY IN HEALTH
CIRCLES.
Good Record Keeps UP and Confidence
is Returning Reports From the Vari-
Gus Camps.

Today-Plague deaths, 0; plague
cases, o.; suspicious cases, 0.
The health situation today in Homo
lulu is but repetition of the good
record of the past nine days. There
has been not single case exciting the
least suspicion or requiring any watch
ing. AS usual the call physicians have
been sent out several times, but the
cases were very ordinary, the most
important being case of dropsy, upon
which an operation was performed.
DR.. Davis reports that the Chinese
child in Kewalo, which was some days
ago adjudged suspicious, is better and
apparently on a high road of recovery.
In the suspect camp at Kakaako and
the pest house there is nothing out of
the ordinary. Cases in the latter are
improving, without an exception.
Armstrong Smith is a we'll man.
superintendent McVeigh was in from
Kalihi camp this morning He reports
health good and everything running
smoothly.
At the kerosene camp are only few
natives, waiting the verdict of DR..
Hoffman with respect to Koalii, man
removed from that camp on the 5th.
This opinion will perhaps be forthcom-
ing this afternoon. There seems a
probability that the case is not one of
plague and that the people now held
at the kerosene warehouse will be re-
leased at once.
At the drill shed camp is a mixture
of eighty people from Block 10. There
are Chinese, Japanese, natives and
whites. All are treated precisely alike
On leaving the place the whites must
take the bath and be fumigated just
the same as the others. Yesterday
morning one white man refused to take
the bath because he owned 300 shares
of Eva stock and considered himself
above such methods. He was straight
way involuntarily barred and given ar
equally involuntary scrubbing.

A RAT CREMATED.

Charles lie Pierre created a sensation
on the water front and at the custom
house yesterday afternoon with a dead
rat which he secured at the Pacific
Mail wharf. He carried it round by
the tail and visited a number of offices.
The rat had been killed by a Portu-
guoSs} who was working on the wharf
and struck it with a stone. The Portu-
guese didn't want to touch the rodent
with pole though it was apparently
healthy one. Some kerosene was sup
piled by Professor Ingalls, and the rat
was duly cremated on the Pacific Mail
wharf

WIND TANNERS TOO BIG THE WHARF COMMITTEE
RECORD BREAKING COLLECTION
OF SHIPS.
Heavy Losses Caused by Lack of wharf
Room-Experience of the Lancing
With a Large Cargo.

A number of the biggest ships ever
seen here are in the harbor or on the
way from Newcastle at the present
time. Such vessels have not been call
ing here very often till the immense or
ders for coal began going forward. and
1t is the opinion of many that the
owners and consignees make mistake
in sending them, until harbor improve
ments are made so that it is possible
to handle them more quickly.
The British wind-jammer Lancing is
a sample of the sort of sailing vessel
brought into the trade. She has over
thirty-three hundred tons of coal in her
hold, and has been in port twenty
days without beginning to discharge.
When she does begin she will go to the
railroad wharf. She is too long for the
wharf and the only way to unload her
will be one end at once-to use one
hatch for a time then move the vessel
out, turn her round and use the other
This means a long, wearisome task,
with very expensive delay. Every day
lost by a vessel like this means a cost
of $500 or more to some one, the ship
owner or the consignee, according TO
the way the charter is made. The
Lancing was formerly a French stea-
mer and she is splendid sailing yes
sci.
The ships Aspice, Charles E Moody,
Drummuir and Clennesslin are others
of the same class, waiting in the harbor.
Most of their charters provide that tile
| consignees shall pay demurrage, in
some cases over 5000 a day, for every
day that the vessel is delayed beyond
certain reasonable time, in getting her
cargo out. The reasonable time otter
expires before the ship begins to work
at all, under present local conditions
The lack of more harbor room and
wharVes is therefore proving very cost
! ly to Honolulu importers.
The row of vessels lying at anchor
here now includes the best collection

AT QUEENS HOSPITAL.

During the plague season the Queens
Hospital has had a little detention
camp of its own. A number of tents
were provided and in these, patients
coming from localities which might be
liable to infection were placed. They
were kept here for several days, when,
If they showed no suspicious symptoms
they were taken into the hospital.
While in the tents patients received
hospital attention and care, but it was
felt that II plague should develop 1t
would be cheaper and better to burn
few tents than the hospital build

ToDAY's SANITARY FIRE.
building Burned was Considered a
First Glass Tenement.

The Weaver house at the corner of
South street and Kawaiahao lane was
burned this morning by the fire depart
ment. Engines / and 4 did the work
There was light breeze from the
orth which carried sparks toward Ma
soonVille, but no outside damage was
done. The burned house was again Off
cially condemned by the Board Of
Health yesterday afternoon as being
insanitary.
The building was owned by Philip L.
Weaver and w. II. Hoogs. 1t was
built just a year ago and was consi-
dered as well built and sanitary in it's
construction as it could be, 1t was
divided into forty-two room suites, ana
each suite had light and air both front
and rear. There were lanais running
the whole length of the building for
both stories, both front and rear, so
mat each suite had the use of lanui
both front and rear. In the rear there
was considerable area of ground
giving air space far from the crowding
of other buildings. 1t was the inten-
ton of the owners, as soon as the sewer
system was completed to put in patent
closets connecting with the sewer, so
that then the building would be almost
a model tenement.
A. G. M. Robertson yesterday made
a complete appraisement of all the
personal property in the building, and
all of 1t except that in the apartments
where plague cases were found was re-
moved to the government warehouse at

Quarantine Landing to be in Charge OF
One Man From Each House-BOat
House For Laborers.

At the meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce yesterday aftednoon, w. NJ
Giffard reported for the quarantine
committee on the action of the Govern
ment in regard to the wharf, the par
ticulars of which were published in the
Star. This report was accepted and the
committee discharged.
The situation then was that the
Chamber of Commerce should bear all
expenses of the wharf, looking to the
Legislature for reimbursement All re-
ceipts from the wharf will, under the
present system have to go into the
treasury as current receipts The
Chamber decided that though an ex-
ception should be made in this case,
being an exceptional matter, and the
receipts accrue to the Chamber, which
will have to bear the expenses, 1t was
no time for hesitation and the project
would have to be pushed through at
any cost.
