Minor Notes.

In the Cabinet yesterday the propos-
"a sale OF general effects Of the Exec
utive building not in general use by the
Government was discussed. These ar
ticles. which were household furniture,
silyerware and other articles used by
the Royal family prior TO the over
throw, appear to be in the way OF the
present officials. The sale will partake
of the nature of housekeeping for
the new Governor and his officers. Mr..
Damon has turned over TO the Minis
ter of the Interior a list of all the
platedware now in his custody and
which he thought could be disposed OF
to advantage.
Minister Mott-Smith has in his pos
session some valuable books OF the
personal records of the Royal family,
and gifts TO Kalakaua from foreign
lands. These he believes are deterior-
taing for lack of care, most of them
lying around loose in the various Of
fees, and he considers 1t wise to place
the best of these books in the Bishop
Museum. Ministers Mott-Smith and
Damon were appointed a committee by
the Executive to look into the matter
and confer with the trustees of the
Bishop Museum as to which books they
prefer.
Minister Young announced that Gov
eminent Veterinary Surgeon Shaw was
to proceed to Hawaii with instructions
to make a thorough examination of all
animals on the big Island as to CLAN
ders, and other diseases which he has
already reported on to the Govern
ment. He will proceed to Hilo direct
and begin his examination on Olaa
plantation and then move on to the
windwaTd coast, and take in every
ranch and plantation. His trip will
cover about four weeks, and his report
on the condition of the animals will be
of general interest. The spread of
CHAMBERS in these Islands has become
serious matter, inasmuch as the Vet
Urinary has reported that it could not
be stamped out in the living animals.
petition signed by number of cit
liens residing in the vicinity of Fort
street and the proposed extension
thereof, was read. They ask that the
immediate extension of the street be
proceeded with in accordance with
surveys already completed. 1t was vot-
ed by the Cabinet that the Minister of
Interior be authorized to proceed with
the extension of Fort street as soon as
the funds are available and arrange
ments can be made for securing the
land.
While discussing the widening OF
streets, 1t was voted also that the Min
lister of Interior be authorized to make
arrangements for the widening of Ala
PAL street, taking an average of ten
feet on each side from the property
owners for that purpose. Work has al
ready been begun along Mr.. Atherton's
property on that street.
The Cabinet also authorized the
Minister of Interior to call Immediate
Iy for tenders, in Honolulu only, for
such high-lift pump as will be most de-
sirable to place in the Beretania street
pumping station. This Is in accord
ance with the appropriation made by
the Council of State for the installment
of an auxiliary pump.
Action on the application of Chas.
David for light wine and beer license
at Waialua was deferred.
A communication from the Board of
Health, dated yesterday, IN regard to
disseminating the detention camps, was
read, but no action was taken.
