The physicians of Honolulu are now
required to report to the Board of
Health all contagious diseases they
are called to attend. Blanks for this
purpose have been sent to all physi-
clans in Honolulu and the returns
show an alarming number of tubercu-
losis cases.
From the Victoria Hospital, which is
specially set apart for the reception
and treatment of consumptives or
other incurable diseases. the reports
show that nineteen patients have pthi-

ans, five Japanese. two British, two
South Sea Islanders, one Chinese one
Swedish. one Portuguese, one Spaniard
and one American.
The mortality table for the month of
July shows that eighteenpersons died of
consumption and seventeen of typhoid
fever during July. Eighty males and
but thirty-four females died of the eX-
cessive total of LA deaths, and of these
fifty three were Hawaiians and but six
Americans. Five years ago but fifty
persons died in July and last year burt
lninety-three. With an annual death
rate of over thirty for each thousand

WILHELM STILL ANGRY
REGARDS THE SEIZURE OF GERMAN
VESSELS AS UNwARRANTED.
Statement that the British Admiralty
Was Alone Responsible Regard
ed as a Subterfuge.

BERLIN. Jan. 15-Emperor William still
takes the deepest interest in the Bundles
rath incident and holds frequent confer
ences on the subject with the foreign sec
rotary, Count Won Buelow The matter
was under consideration to-day and the
correspondent of the Associated Press was
informed after the conference that the
Emperor is still furious about the seizure,
which he regards as particularly ungrace-
full and uncalled for on the part of Great
Britain, inasmuch as he was led to be-
lieve during his recent visit that England
would hereafter do everything in her power
to preserve amicable relations. In view OF
all this, his Majesty regards the seizures
of German vessels apparent bad faith
on the part Of Lord Salisbury" The Ger
man ambassador in London, Count Won
Hatzfeldt, has informed the German gov
eminent that the seizures were made upon
the order of the British Admiralty and not
of the Foreign Office. The Kaiser, however,
considers this mere subterfuge.
1t is believed in court circles that, while
the visit of Rear Admiral Won Sonden-
Biebran, chief of the Imperial Marine
Cabinet, will retain a strictly private
character. he will drop word of the tenor
in the proper quarters. The semi-official
statement of the political mission attrib-
uted to Freiherr Won Sonden-Biebran S
visit, which the Foreign Office relterates to-
day is discredited in a section of the press,
including the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, and
the Staatsbuerger Zeitung, the latter re-
marking that ''the times are too critical
to think of regattas.'
At the Foreign Office to-day it was as
serted in reply to inquiry that the reported
discovery of quantity of rifles in the
cargo of the Bundesrath was unimportant,
manifest, that there were several cases OF
hunting rifles on board.
The press continues to assert that Ger
many is trying to acquire Macao, but the
Foreign Office characteriZes the statement
as utterly ridiculous and the invention
of certain colonial enthusiasts.
The Postoffice department, in view OF the
British cable regulations, published a cir
cular advising the public to write for
African cables in the English language.
avoiding cipher.
The Stettin authorities notify vessels
that they should display their flags when

preted in connection with the recent
seizures.
The Kolnische Zeitung. in the course of a
severe article, protests against the need
less delay in searching the Bundesrath' s
cargo, which is engendering bad feeling in
Germany against England. 1t declares
that the British authorities have been led
on a false scent by agents provocateurs,
and warns England that, IL she desires
to preserve Gerrnany's friendship. she will
do well to "pay more attention to German
opinion than has hitherto been thought

THE ST. MARY's WRECK.
Two Vessels Gone to the Scene-Cart.
Dawes Views.

Dawes Views.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. 15.-There is still
nothing about the vessel wrecked and
burned in st. Mary's bay. The tug Ingra-
ham left this morning for the bay with po-
lice and divers on board. The steamer
Terra Nova will follow. When the vessels
reach the wreck an organized attempt will
be made to learn the vessels name. ru-
NOR that the steamer is the Snokfiake Is
denied by the agents at New York.
HALIFAX, N. S., Jan. 15.-Captain Dave,
of the steamer Glencoe. which arrived to-
night from st. Johns, Newfoundland, says
he passed the scene of the wreck. bound
from Halifax for st. John, at / o'clock on
Thursday afternoon, or one hour after the
Inflated ship is supposed to have CONC on
the rocks. Gull island, in st. Marys bay,
where the unknown steam struck, is twelve
miles off the course the Glencoe was steam
ing and Captain Dave says there is no
doubt in his mind the vessel was steering
the same course to make Cape Race. which
was the Glencoes objective point. There Is
strong current here, with westerly set,
which would about put the stranger out
of her course the distance of twelve miles
to st. Mary's bay. This current is one tf
worst the coast and several steamers
have been carried out of their course in
years gone by and cast away in St. Mary's
bay. There was a binding snowstorm all
day Thursday. The flakes fell thicker than

The captain says he thinks the Inflated
steamer was bound across the Atlantic
from New York or Philadelphia. While in
st. Johns he saw an official communica-
ton from Magistrate Hogan, at st. Mary's
bay, stating that the steamer on the rocks
was almost certainly an oil tank. The mag
istrate reported that the ship ran ashore
at full speed and was a craft of about 1500
tons and not likely passenger boat.

TWO VIEWS ON TRUSTS
PRESIDENT HADLEY, OF YALE, AND
W.. j. BRYAN SPEAK.
Former Says Ostracism Is Good REM
edy and Latter Says the Plan
Should BE Encouraged.

ST LOUIS, Jan. 15.-Colonel William
Jennings Bryan and President A. T. Hadley.
of Yale University, were interviewed to-
day relative to the latter's proposal to os-
tracise trust magnates. Both are agreed
on the idea that social recognition should
be denied to any man engaged in a trust
or other business enterprise inimical to
the public welfare. and that the public
mind should be educated to see those evils
that exist in the trust system.
President Hadley saN. in response to q
question regarding the remedy for some OF
the bad effects of trusts. which he sug-
gested in a speech at Denver: when peo-
pie have clearly made up their minds as
to what are great social evils, ostracism Ia
an effective remedy" Then he said, by
way of explanation: 1.-The trouble is that
the public mind is not clear on the mat
ter. My opinion is that many of the evils
commonly attributed to trusts do not prop
erly belong there. This is where the pub
lie needs education. The evils that do exist
ought to be clearly pointed out. and where
1t is shown that a man engaged in an
unworthy enterprise the people should have
the courage to deny him social recognition.
1 believe the time will come when they
will do it. 1 do not mean that every man
who is interested in trust should, there
fore, be Cancelled from the list Of ones ac-
quaintances. This is a matter requiring
judgment for each individual case
Colonel Bryan was asked for his views on
the plan of Prof. Hadley tonight just as
he was leaving his hotel to take dinner
with a party of personal and political
friends He said: ''The idea is a good one
and should be encouraged man who
tries to rob the public by means of a trust
or by wrecking a bank or a railroad should
more be countenanced by society than
a plain highwayman. The thing needed is
to awaken and educate the public mind
and conscience on such matters When the
people understand the harm that there
really Is in trusts they will be ready to
apply a remedy. There are things which
were permitted I'm society twenty-five years
ago which are not tolerated at all to-day.
The change has been wrought through
education. A similar change will take place
when the people learn the true moral
status of the trust question. / am glad.
indeed, that college men who are leaders
in education are taking up the matter for
discussion. 1t is a step in the right direc-
ton, and / have no doubt that their re-
searches will result in greatly helping to
solve the problem. But. far ostracism
is concerned, L do not believe that as a
remedy for trust evil IL is likely to become
noticeably effective very soon"

KRUGER BEFORE THE WAR.
His Talk with j. ID. Robinson, the
south African Millionaire.

LONDON, Jan. 16-J. b. Robinson, the
South African millionaire in a signed ar
ticle in the Daily News this morning re-
lates conversations he has had with Presi-
dent Kruger and describes several inter-
talked over. On one of. these occasions
President Kruger said: do you mean to
tell me that you do not know that the men
who organized and engineered the raid
organized it for their own benefit? They
had decided how they would divide the
Transvaal and how each of the parties was
to have certain interests in this country.
Many reformers who were put in Jail were
perfectly innocent. They were ignorant Of
the schemes of the men in the inner circle.
There were only twelve men in that inner
circle and they were to divide the Trans
vaal among themselves. They and their
companies found the money for the raid.
Do you think we are so innocent not to
know that Rhodes, metaphorically speak
ing, held a pistol at the heads of certain
men in England and said to them If you
do not support me 1 shall denounce you
and your completely in the raid
At this stage according to Mr.. Robinson,
President Kruger became more excited and
shouted so loudly that people in the streets
stopped to listen to the conversation. Mr..
Kruger then said: "And now you are re-
monstrating with me about arming. 1t is
true 1 am arming and it is because / see
clearly that 1 must defend my country"
To this Mr.. Robinson replied: THE Brit

made again to enter this country there
would be great outcry in England and
the imperial authorities would take steps
to punish the organizers and to prevent
such freebooting expeditions"

WILL BE HIGHER
PEOPLE WHO CROSS THE ATLANTIC
THIS YEAR MUST PAY MORE.
Price of Berths Increased from so to
Mary's Bay Wreck.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-The transatlantic
steamship lines, according to the Even
ing Post, have increased their pas
senger rates between New York and Eu-
rope, owing to the heavy travel that is
expected to the Paris exposition. The Hol-
land-American line to-day specified gen.
eral 10 per cent. increase on its principal
steamers. The staterooms on the saloon
decks show an increase of $50 over last
year, whether occupied by two or three
persons. In those rooms intended for three
persons, half fare extra over the regular
rate is charged, when the room is taken by
two. On the slower steamers, carrying only
one class, there has been an increase of
$40 and SIS berth.
The Atlantic transport line in its rate
sheet for this year announces an interme-
date season from the middle of March
to the Middle of April, and for the berths
engaged for that period there is an increase
of SIS each over the same time last year.
For the summer season there is an increase
of SIS a berth over the price asked last
summer two persons in a stateroom being
compelled to pay 500 each. as compared
with SIS each formerly. The summer sea-
son of this line extends from the middle
of April to the middle of August.
At the Cunard offices it was said that
while the rates for the summer were not
yet published, there would be increases
over the rates asked last year, and the
summer season would be extended.
The White Star line has placed the rates
for the coming season exactly where they
were during the year 1898, before the dis
agreement among the lines occurred. This
action means a higher tariff than last year
but one fully as low as in the year proceed
ing 1899, when much rate-cutting took
place.
The chief increase in the Hamburg Amer
lean steamers is in the deck staterooms.
some of which are raised $50 room. In
addition, the usual 10 per cent discount
on the round trip fares will not be allowed
during the Paris exposition.
The North German Lloyd and American
liners have increased their rates slightly,
and the season is a month longer than
last year, when 1t extended from May 1
ton allowed the return fare only, on
the purchase of round trip tickets.
The French line which, running to Havre,
naturally expects to carry a large num-
Der of pasengerss to the exposition, has a
higher rate for saloon cabins than last
year.
A Cunard line official tonight stated that
there would be no general increase in rates.
but that the old summer rate which ex-
listed before the rate war of last year would
be restored. An American line official stated
that the minimum saloon rate would be
the same, 800, but there might be slight
advance in the price of the most desirable
cabins. An Atlantic Transport line official
made the same statement.
