AMERICAN SUGAR.

There has been tremendous slump
in the price of American Sugar Com
pany stock in the past few days. For
some time prior to and including last
Thursday the quotations had been
steady at 80 and 95 for the paid up. The
drop began on Friday and today the
quotations were $4750 bid $50 asked.
There have been no quotations on the
assessable stock for some time. The
uncertainty at present as to the ques-
tion of water supply is the generally
attributed reason for the drop among
brokers. Reports from Molokai say
there were about four days of rain last
week on the eastern end of the island
and about two and a half days rain on
the western end. There has been some
street talk of some sort of combina-
ton between American Sugar and Ka-
malo in regard to water, but If the talk
has any foundation it has not reached
the stage of negotiation yet.
McCandless Bros. have sent a we'll
boring apparatus to Kamalo to begin
operations there to thoroughly exploit
and expert the water supply.

THE CHINESE HOSPITAL IN
PALAMA.
Food and Beds are Provided But There
is No Medical ttendance-Physician
Volunteers Help.

The plague has brought to light sew
eral situations hitherto unnoted, and
for that reason may prove a measure
of blessing in its grewsome disguise. 1t
disclosed the filth of Chinatown and the
insanitary condition of many other
sections of the city. 1t affected GER
tain localities in such a way that con-
sumption and fever and other ills will
be checked.
But some things have been overlook
ed. For instance, the Chinese hospital
in Palama is a misnomeT as much OF
a failure as the sanitary methods OF
the people supporting it. When Chu
Gem and the other members of the See
Yup clan started this hospital four
years ago they announced that it would
be run on European lines and would
thoroughly and efficiently care for the
See Yup part of the Chinese commun-
ity, relieving the town of the burden.
Getting support from other clans 1t
broadened its work to a more general
one.
Today the hospital" is not more than
a mere house for the sick to die In.
1t is true that the patients are given
food and beds; but the medical atten-
ton they receive is nil. Or" Song is
in charge there. In the past two
months patients have called in outside
physicians.
In December the directors employed
DR.. Howard to look after plague cases.
A pest house was established in rear
of the main building for this purpose.
Only three plague cases were sent
/ there, however and, subsequently, DR..
| Howard was detailed to Kalihi and had
| to give up the work.
| Since then DIR. Jobe has done some
good work at the Chinese hospital. He
/ has been sent out once each day, in
the morning, to look for plague cases.
| None have thus far been found. While
| there he has, out of pure charity, taken
several hospital cases in hand and Is

result of neglect pure and simple, in a

AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
UNION FEED COMPANY's SAFE
ATTACKED.
Hole Drilled in 1t, Giant Powder Used,
and Grain Sacks Piled UP to Deaden
the Noise.

An attempt at burglary, evidently by
an expert, was made at the Union Feed
Companys establishment on Queen
street. some time last night or early
this morning. Failing in the attempt
to break open the safe, the burglar or
burglars, either through spite or to
cover up their crime threw oil on a
quantity of bagged feed stuff and set it
afire. The fire was still burning when
the place was opened this morning. The
oil used was a can of machine oil found
in the place which did not burn readily
or otherwise the place would probably
have been burned down. The place
where the fire was started is only a
few feet from a partition which sep
arates a building containing hay.
The burglars entered the place by re-
moving a pane of glass. The office
containing the safe is at the mauka
Eva corner Of the building which is on
the makai side of Queen street between
Fort and Alakea. The office has two
windows looking right out on Queen
street showing the daring character of
! the burglars.
The safe is one of the kind which
opens with a fiat key. The burglars
drilled out the key hole making an
| aperture with a diameter about three
quarters of an inch. Into this was IN
/ serted a stick of giant powder, and
then large quantity of sacks of grain
were pile up around the safe to deader
the sound and to prevent pieces of the
safe from flying about when the ex-
plosion came. The powder was ex-
| ploded, blowing the lock into the safe
but failing to open the door. There
was a hundred and fifty dollars in the
safe, but as the burglars failed to opeT
the door they were not able to get it
In one of the desks in the office is {
TIN in which is kept the cash for the
days business. This had been opened
by boring with bit by the side of tn,
lock. The cash had been put into tn,
safe on Saturday night, so that thi!
exploit of the burglars was unrewarded
The burglars had ransacked the Who'll,
place, taking the keys from the Ike!
board in the office and going from on
department of the building to another
and finally letting themselves out of tn,
building by side door.
There are in the building, about 20, 90
sacks of grain and feed. which woult
have made very hot fire if it had eve
got we'll started The fact that it wa
not burning to any great eXten
when the place was opened this morn
ing leads to the belief that the bur
glars did not leave the building unit
pretty well along in the hours of tn
morning, probably about o'clock
The safe was so injured by the wor
of the burglars that 1t could only b
opened this morning by breaking i
, open with crowbars and sledges.
There is no clew to the burglars ex
cept such as follows from inference
from the character of the work don
, by the burglars. The police have mad

postmasters will have to be discharged
and the same number of post offices
closed until the legislature meets. The
matter was referred back to Mr.. Da-

in the circumstances.

GONG INTO QUARANTINE A MERE PLACE TO DE IN
MEN TO WORK ON THE NEW
WHARF.
A Plan Which VIII Prevent Inter-Isl-
and Shipments from Honolulu from
Being Stopped in Future.

One customs inspector, four guards
and number of laborers are going in
to quarantine to be ready to take up
the work on the new quarantine wharf
as soon as it is ready for use. The
wharf is nearing completion and by the
time the quarantined men are ready for
it, it will be finished. Work Fas been
continued day and night on the wharf
and it is one of the quickest jobs of the
kind on record
The wharf will be of vast Importance
to the shipping interests of Honolulu.
in time If epidemic. II such wharf had
been available when the plague broke
out the troubles that have attended in
ter-island shipments would nearly ali
lave been avoided The wharf has no
connection with shore. 1t is to be kept
in strict quarantine, everyone working
on it living there, and no restriction on
shipments from 1t need be made. Deep
water vessels may go there and dis
charge and it will be about the same as
| IL they were at a clean port. They
will escape nearly all of the quarantine
restrictions that now cost so much af-
ter they leave Honolulu and they will
leave behind stocks that may be sent
to other islands without any fear OF
infection. Inter-island steamers that
are in quarantine may take cargoes
from the wharf With this system in
operation, it will not be possible again
for Honolulu to get into such a position
that she cannot send supplies to the
other islands.
| Though it now appears likely that the
whole quarantine of the city will be
over before the wharf is ready for use
the men who are to work on it are going
! into quarantine so that if there should
be more cases of plague they will hC
available. When the plague is over the
! wharf will be a valuable addition tC
the water front facilities of the city
and it will be ready for use during fu-
ture epidemics if any should occur

more than ordinary dramatic merit.
