treme Destitution,

.sew York, Feb. l2.-Igleslas and

leaders, who arrived here from that ISL
and a few days ago, have issued an ap-
peal TO this government on behalf OF

The delegates, who have established
a headquarters In this city, declare that
the working class OF their island have
been reduced by reason Of the war, the
hurricane and the action OF this gov
eminent since the storm, to q condi-
ton Of extreme restitution.
They declare that unless action is
taken soon, riots viii occur throughout
the island, as the poor are desperate
from their sufferings.
To get justice, say these delegates, is
almost impossible for the poor and from
laws chiefly resulting in the dlsfran-
chisement OF the laborers. OF the ],
600, 700 inhabitants 100000 are absolute
ly paupers through no fault OF their
own.
The worklngmen demand a radical
change In the. government Of the ISL
and They ask that the following ordi-
nances OF Governor General Davis be
annuled:
THAT the laborers on the public
works shall yet no more than % cents
per day for eight hours work
2-That only property and
taxpayers shall vote and those who can
read and write.
3-That these payments OF 81 shall
be paid before a vote Il cast.
The worklngmen also ask that the or
dlnance forbidding appeals from the
decisions OF the tribunals be abrogated
They also want general market foi
imports, and better schools.

When you work too hard what fol-

You stoop over at some occupation.
You strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far, or ride too far.
You call this overexertion. You

Your back aches, your head aches,

Oh, you say it's because I'm tired

Now this isn't right. It's because
your kidneys are tired.

the lifting, STOPPING or straining has
retarded their action.

Vessels From Plague
Infected Ports.
Board of Health Takes Quarantine
Wharf, Gunpowder on Ice
for War-ships.

At the Board Of Health meeting yes
terday afternoon it was decided that the
quarantine wharf betaken by the Board
OF Health to be used for quarantine
purposes, and for the discharging of
cargoes from vessels from plague-in-
fected ports, and that the disinfecting
plant now on the Pacific Mail wharf
should be transferred to the quarantine
wharf
1t was DR.. Woods firm opinion, and it
was also the general sense of the meet
ing that the greatest precautions should
be taken to prevent any possible recur-
renee of the plague in Honolulu. Yes

plague has again broken out, and from
Sydney, where the plague epidemic is at

ed by the health authorities, and will
be required to go to the quarantine

wharf it will be Immediately fumigated
and carted ashore by means of a bridge
which will in all PROBABILITY be con-
structed very shortly.
The warehouse on the quarantine
wharf is a spacious and convenient
building for the reception of goods re-
quiriLg precautionary treatment. 1t VIII
Likely be divided into several compart-
ments, some of which Will be made
suitable for fumigatlng rooms.
If any rats, carrying the germs of bu-
bonnie plague, arrive here in goods
brought by vessels from infected ports
they will be killed in the process OF 1u-
migation and their bodies easily dis
posed of. 1t is thought that no live rats
will be able to get off the quarantine
wharf to the shore, and that all danger
to the city from rats from infected POI L
will be prevented by having vessels
from those ports discharge at the quar-
antine wharf. The bridge which will
probably connect the wharf with the
shore viii be wbridge.
All vessels which have arrived here
from ports where it was known plague
existed have heretofore been allowed
to discharge at ordinary docks only by
dock limit, and they have also been re
quired to keep rat-guards on all lines
connecting with the dock
1t is believed by the health authori
ties that such an institution as tn,
quarantine wharf is an absolute neces
sity. Not only is it essential in guard
ing Honolulu against any possible re
currence of the plague by infection in
| troduced from other ports, but it il
considered a convenience in the even
| Of vessels arriving here with cases o
smallpox or other contagious disease
on board.
! 1t is argued that the United States il
soon to take over the whole quarantin,
| business here, and that the action o
the Board Of Health in taking the quar-
antine wharf is superfiuous. On tn
| other hand, the quarantine wharf is
necessity as such at the present time
and the Board of Health realizes tina
the United States, when it takes owe
quarantine matters, will use the whar
| for the same purpose as it is being use
| for now.

Following up the inquiry along this

The Naval Department began expert

means of preventing this change in the
composition of the gunpowder on board

means a temperature of about seventy
