The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-02-02

the service stands higher in the opin-
ion OF the Department than DR.. Car
michael. Honolulu and the commu-
nifty are fortunate in the fact that he
was assigned to duty there
The report of an appropriation of
s270,000 for the purpose of prosecuting
sanitary improvements gives much
satisfaction here, because it is an evil
dence of the pluck and determination
of the citizens in a serious crisis
Through the presence of the ex-Presi-
dent of the Board of Health, not only
the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment, but the highest medical authori
ties here, have learned with what in
telligence and skill the cholera of 1895
was treated by the Board of Health and
the citizens OF Honolulu. This is espe-
cially important at the present time,
when Honolulu stands as an outpost Of
the United States. 1t is d pl oof to Con-
gress and the people that in the fight
ing of pestilenee and disease the ut
most confidence may be reposed in the
local authorities, backed by an intelli-
gent public sentiment
Colonel Sam Parker left on the 10th
for San Francisco. His presence here
has been welcomed by the friends of
| the Hawaiian bills. Senators and
members of the House look upon him
as representative Hawaiian; his gen.
ial and attractive manners are as
sumed to represent those of a native
gentleman. Col. Parker does not ap-
prove of all of the provisions of the
| Hawaiian bill, but recommends the
passage of it as it is rather than cause
delay by amendments. Several Sena-
tors who are pressing the bill in the
Senate urged him TO remain here in or
der to furnish information about the
land and other questions, provided in
formation was wanted, but Col. Par
ker was unable to remain.
Bob" Wilcox and his old friend,
Moreno, are often seen on the streets.
The current report is that Moreno can
didly advised Mr.. Wilcox to return to
the Islands. unless he had much treas
ure in his possession; Mr.. Wilcox, ii
is said, is considering the advice OF
this ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs
!, with much serioushess.

the corridors of the Capitol He de-
. nounces freely theS Dole government
: and the judges who now hold Office
