BUSINESS FAILURES.
April They Were Fewer Than for
Number of Years Past.

New York, May 5.-Bradstreet's re-
view of. the failures for the month Of
April says:
Business failures in April were not
only fewer than in any corresponding
month for 4 number of years past,
but they were 13 per cent. smaller in
number than in March. and were, in
fact, the lightcst recorded in any
month since September, last year,
when business embarrasSmcnts and
liabilities were the smallest reported
in any single month for at least seven
years past. Liabilities showed even
larger shrinkage from the preceding
month of March than did failures
themselves, the decrease being nearly
21 per cent, but, compared with April
a year ago, the falling of is only
fractional one, this being due mainly
to the occurrence of a few large fail
ures in New York city and Boston,
none of which, however. was signif-
cant Of any particular change or ten
dency in the general course of bust
ness.

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Represen-
tative Hepburn may find Speaker Hen
derson standing across his path next
Monday when he tries to get up his
resolution for setting day for the con-
sideration of the Nicaraguan canal bill.
Administration influences are being ex-
erted to the utmost to prevent consid-
Grafton of the bill before the ratifica-
ton of the pending Hay -Pauncefote
treaty by the Senate. 1t is believed
that if the House should pass the bill
without regard for the convention 1t
would cOmplicate matters in the Sem
ate. The passage of the bill by the
House at this time would be considered
by friends of the administration as a
reflection on the President.
The Hepburn bill precedes on the the
DRY that the Clayton Bulwer treaty is
no longer binding. The administration
believes that it is and acted on this be-
lief in negotiating the new treaty. If
the House should now pass the Hep
burn bill 1t would be construed as a
condemnation by the House of the
course of the administration in nego-
tiatng the new treaty. For this reason
Speaker Henderson is being urged not
to recognize Hepburn on Monday to cali
up his proposed resolution, and 1t is
said that the representative will not be
recognized.

ASKS FOR A FURTHER SUM OF
$25OOOO.
On March 1 over Half Million Had
Been Expended In the War On the
Plague-Routlne Matters.

At the meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday afternoon Ii was decided to
ask the Council of State for an addi-
tional appropriation of S250,000, to be
used in stamping out the plague. This
will bring the total appropriations to
date up to $625,OOO.
Estimating uncompleted bills for
February, which have not yet reached
the Finance Committee of the Board,
the amount expended up to March
would $512, 443 so. The Auditor General
has approved bills for the entire appro-
priation of $375,000. The list of expen-
ditures in February includes 81, 697 pay
rolls for Maui and 1924 for Kauai.
This amount of $25O,O0O will surely not
finish up the expenses, even if there
is no more plague, as the amount in
excess of the last appropriations was
S137, 443 So March bills will be very
close to $150,000, or not improbably
more than that 1t need not be sur
prising that the Board of Health's ex-
penses in stamping out the plague may
be $3.50, 900. This has nothing to do with
extension of sewerage, providing a fill
tration plant, and the destruction of
property by fire.
Francis j. Berry, attorney for T.
Guam zee, filed a protest against the
destruction of his clients livery stables
in Iwiei. While just across the road
from the stables furnishing the plague
victim of Sunday, the man, All Jan,
never visited these premises, and they
could therefore not be infected in that
way, if in any way at all. Mr.. Berry
addressed the board on the subject.
DrWood replied that the stables were
so close to the condemned property,
and were in such a condition that some
radical action would have to be taken.
To place them in a sanitary condition
would probably be as costly as a fire.
After more discussion the matter was
laid over until this afternoon.
Permission was granted quarantlned
employees of steamers to go ashore at
clean ports on the other islands.

THE CAPE DUTCH RISING BOARD WANTS MORE CASH
.PRIEsKA AND KENHARDT ARE IN
REBELLION.
Martial Law Has Been Declared In
Portions of Cape Colony-Question of
Annexation Comes Forward.

CAPE TOWN, March 6.-Nearly the
whole of the Dutch population of the
Prieska and Kenhardt districts are in
rebellion. Many of the Dutch from
neighboring districts are reported to
have Joined them, notably Pet Mool-
man, who will lead the rebels to Brand
bles. Lucas Steinkamp, commanding
the Beers, is reported to be marching
on Carnarvon., 1t is believed that
Gordonia and Victoria West will rise
1t is thought the total number of men
in arms Will exceed 5000.
The general opinion of loyalsts is
that a strong force of British will be
required, as a reverse would spread the
rebellion.
CAPE TOWN, March 5.-Boer raid
ers are uncommonly active in the
northwestern section of Cape Colony,
where they are stirring up the Dutch.
Martial law has consequently been de-
clared.
NEW YORK, March 5.-A Sun cable
from Cape Town, says:
British officials say the rebellion in
Carnarvon district of Cape Colony is of
no Importance. They state that the
trouble has been caused by some Of the
poorer classes of Beers, who have no
fixed habitation, and who reached that
point during one of their nomadic tricks.
The manager of the Bank of South
Africa, who left johannesburg on Feb
ruary %, and has arrived here, reports
that there has been very little lootlng
done in that district. One of the mines
has been destroyed

Government in the House of Commons,

signatories of the memorial to Mr. Bal
four affirm that the time has come
for plain speaking inside and outside OF
Parliament and that Lord Salsbury's
words are construed into a pledge
against annexation, and Lord Roberts
proclamation into a promise of no
contisCation of Boer property.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, March Am
thOny M. Salvador reached this city
last night, having came all the way
from Honolulu to claim as his bride
Miss Irena Lyttaker, a young woman
born and raised in this city. The meet
ing of the lovers in the courthouse
grounds was very happy but very brief.
Ere many minutes had passed Salvador
and Miss Lyttaker were Joined by Louis
Cassassa, son of a local wine merchant,
who very rudely interrupted their tete-
a-tete. He claimed the woman as his
wife of two years standing, and the
woman confirmed his story. Salvador
was surprised, but put on a bold front
and accepted the invitation to go to the
Piedmont lodging house and see the
baby"
Later in the evening Salvador made
an almost successful attempt to take his
life by the poison route. After taking
the drug he went to the Piedmont
moment he arrived there. A physician
was summoned and the usual remedies
applied, with the result that at mid
night Salvador was pronounced out OF
danger
This morning Salvador declared he
dld not believe the wedding story, the
baby to the contrary Notwithstanding
Accordingly he went to the telephone
and finally induced the woman to come
to the Piedmont house end of the line
After some lively conversation between
the lovers the woman confessed tnal
| she was not married to Cassassa, and
agreed to meet Salvador at a local res
taurant. The arranged meeting tool
place this afternoon, and the reunited
| lovers determined to get married as
| quickly as possible. The accordingly
repaired to the Grand Hotel, got the
! necessary license and summoned Jus
tice John Brown, the marrying squire
| to tie the knot
! Tomorrow Mr.. and Mrs. Salvador anC

route to Honolulu, where he was for
merly engaged in the saloon business
| Salvador's home is at San Leandro anC
! his people are well-to-do.

AN INTERNATIONAL RACE.
Close Call for the Ratification of the
Samoan Treaty.

Close Call for the Ratification of the
Samoan Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March IA race to
save a treaty is taking place on the At
lantic, but the officers of the two
steamships engaged in it are not aware
that so much depends on their early
arrival at New York. The treaty is
that arranged by Great Britain, Ger
many and the United States for the ad-
justment by arbitration of the claims
growing out of the bombardment of
Samoan villages by the British and Am
erican warships during the Mataafan
uprising last year. Under the terms of
the agreement notifications must be ex-
changed between the three governments
on or before March Z. Germany and
Great Britain have ratified the treaty
and the United tSates Senate has con-
firmed it.
The American copy awaits only the
signature of President Mckinley and
Secretary Hay to make it's ratification
complete. The German and British ex-
change copies have been mailed TO
Washington and are on steamers the
names of which the State Department
does not know, due to reach New York
on the night of March g. Special ar
engagements will be made to have the
foreign exchange copies taken from the
steamers without delay and brought TO
Washington. Should there be any de-
lay in the arrival of mail steamers, rat
ifications cannot be exchanged here
within the limit of time fixed by the
treaty.
Failure to exchange notifications on
or before March 7, will result in the
death of the treaty and will make it
necessary to negotiate a new one, which
will be subject to the delays incident
to it's confirmation by the United States
/ Senate, German Bundesrath and the
British crown. An effort may be made
to extend the time, or there may be a
ratification by cable.
