PECK TO M'KINLEY.
The First Letter Mailed mt the Amer.
iccn p0stodicc Mt Paris


The first letter mailed at the United
States postofiice at the Paris Exposition
was addressed to President Mckinley by
Commissioner General Peck. 1t has been
received at the White House In the letter
Mr.. Peck says:
1T seems fitting that you should receive
the first letter ever deposited in postof-
fee of the United States located in a for
eign land. |. therefore have the honor OF
informing you that this communication is
the first ever transmitted through such
a channel. 1t is registered.
"A complete postoffice under the direc-
fion of the Postmaster General of the
United States is now in full operation In
the national pavilion established by our
Government at the Paris Exposition.
You will be interested in knowing that
in this building is located. in addition TO
the postofIice. an official bureau of infor-
nation for the bereft of our American
people: also the American Chamber OF
Commerce organized in Paris; the recep-
ton rooms of the commissioner general

and the eighteen national commissioners
appointed under the act of Congress One
floor will be known as States headquart-
ers. Rooms are also set apart for the Mil
itary Order of the Loyal Legion of the
United States and for women's organiza-
ton. The entire building is the home OF

spring up. The country is giveL up to
grazing. Deposits of coal doubtless exist
in various parts OF the country. but they
are not worked Dung (tezekJ is already
the main fuel of the country. Petroleum
stoves ought to lind sale here. il they
are cheap. simple in construction, and can
. burn Russian petroleum without making
bad odor. An oil stove which /. brought
from the United States was much admired
! by the Turkish officials. and at the re-
quest of some of them the dragoman or
dered half dozen similar stoves for them.
But on account Of several trans shipments
and delays in foreign ports the stoves
were eleven months in coming. arrived
after the coal season was over, were in
jured by the transit, cost 50 apiece for
freight alone and the officials generally
repudiated their orders. That was an ex-
perience in importation which, if not typ
zeal, illustrates some of the difficulties of
establishing a foreign trade. a direct
steamer line to Samsoun would do much to
obviate these difficulties.
Large quantities OF fruits are raised at
Amasia. Tokat and Maiatia, although the
cultivation IS carried on by primitive meth
DDS. and with the lack of energy character
istic of the Orient. The crops of fruits at
Amasia ana Tokat were above the average
scarcely paid to gather them. Cherries.
apricots. grapes. pears, peaches. and APP
pies are the chief fruits raised II seems
to me that the favorable climate and the
low cost of land and labor would make
fruit drying and canning profitable at ANA
STA and Tokat. but practically nothing of
that sort is done. Glass fruit preserving
Jars might profitably be introduced. The
manufacture of wine and spirits according
to approved modern methods might also be
remunerative. Fair sorts of wine are
made in most Christian households at To-
kat. Amasia and MarsOyan. Ii retails for
about 80 cents a gallon. Large quantities
of 'raki' are made by fermenting the resi-
due from the grapes after the juice is
pressed out, and distilling it with anise
mint mastic, and rose leaves. II is sold
for about 50 cents gallon. Probably the
larger portion of grape juices is boiled
down into a grape sugar molasses called
pecmez 1t resembles in consistency
and taste the settling of Porto Rico mo-
lasses.
The consumption OF beer is on the in
crease, and this might be manufactured
here instead of being imported from Eu-
rope and Constantinople Barley is album
dant and of good quality. Hops grow wild
in small quantities about Tokat and ANA
STA. and might easily be cultivated II therc

for building up trade with the United

Merchants Offer Obiec tions

At meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday afternoon various merchants
present offered objections to the atti-
tude of Sheriff Andrews of Hawaii in
the matter of the quarantine of vessels
from Honolulu to Hawaii ports.
II. Give Davies read letter signed
by members of committee in the Dis
trict OF Hamakua, protesting against
the action of Sheriff Andrews. In
cluded in this body were four doctors
of the districts. The committee was
perfectly willing to abide by any regu-
lations the Board might see fit to in
stitute and asked that they be appoint
ed subcommittee of the Board to
decide on what should be done with
any vessels with proper permits ar
irving at any of their ports, but they
did not care to be subjected to the radi-
cal measures instituted by Sheriff An
drews such as making 1t necessary for
vessels to proceed to Hilo, there to be
fumigated before returning to any 9TH
er Hawaii port for which they might
be destined. +. A. Schaefer then read
letter of the same tenor and all the
business men present agreed that
Sheriff Andrews regulations were too
radical.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that the people of the big island were
not In favor OF the measures taken by
the sheriff.
President Wood stated that Minis
ter Cooper had already written let
ter of instructions to Sheriff Andrews
which might have the effect of chang
ing the attitude Of the latter.

HEALTH BOARD MEETS

At meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday afternoon there were pres
ent the following: President Wood,
DR.. Emerson, Geo. w. Smith and +. NJ.
Hatch; also C. l.. Wight. T. Give Da-
vies, f. A. Schaefer, John Ena. Geo.
carter and {. Wolters, representing
leading business houses of the city.
PRESIDENT Dole and Ministers Cooper
and Mott-Smith arrived later and Join
ed in the discussion of various matters
up for consideration.
The report of the case of the China
man at the kerosene warehouse deten-
ton camp brought up the matter of
the period of quarantine and Il was
linally decided that this be heightened
from ten to fifteen days. Dr. Wood
explained that, although i'm most cotn-
tries the period of incubation had been
found to be five days, this was by no
means certain. Exceptions were con-
stantly noted. All Chow, the detention
camp man, was taken down with the
fever on the fourth day of quarantine
and this had expired on Wednesday.
During the discussion it was brought
out that All Chow had been taken out
of Block 10.
DR.. Wood brought up the matter of
the stables at the corner of Liliha and
King streets where Kahelelihi. one of
the recent plague patients had lived
during the first day of two of his i'll.
ness. Although this place had been
carefully disinfected 1t was not cor
sidered safe. Dr. Garvin had been sent
out and recommended that the old sta
bles and rooms be burned and that the
pond in the close proximity be filled
in; also that the new stables be treat
ed with acid and allowed to stand. So
voted.
IL was voted further. that. at the re-
quest of Manager Low of the Honolulu
Plantation, three skilled laborers of
that place be allowed to go into quar-
antine at Pukaki near the guards Ct .he
mounted reserve and that. upon the
completion of the period of quaran-
tine they be allowed to cross the line
| The period of quarantine was left I'm
the hands of the president.
George r. Carter stated that heads OF
prominent business houses of the city
had asked that bales of sugar bags lie
fumigated in the holds of steamers car.
rying them to various island ports
thus saving handling and contact with
the wharves as in the case of fumiga-
ton ashore. The members of the
Board seemed to be in favor of this
but the matter was left to- the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Carter further reported the lack
OF flour in Eva and other adjoining
districts and the absolute dependence
OF the people of those places upon this
| article of food. 1t was voted that the
nour from the II. p. Rithet be allowed
to go into the country districts as this
vessel had been the least exposed of
any In the harbor with -four aboard.
Ae the request of Minister Mott
Smith the Board voted that building
be put up for the military, this to con
tain fumigating, bath and clothes
rooms. Mr.. Mott-Smith is to draw M
the plans and submit the same to the
Board of Health ana the building is
to be put up under military superln-
tendence, thus removing lot of work
from the shoulders of the Board.
The request of Sheriff Andrews for
| the erection of crematory in Hilo was
| deferred.
Meeting adjourned at Sis y. IN.
