Long before the Transvaal capital
has been reached We may look for
complete subsistence of the war spirit
in the Orange Free State. This quar-
rel was never Free State affair. The
burghers of the South had no Uitland-
er issue and were disposed TO be hos
pitable, rather than otherwise, to- Brit
ish immigrants. But being persuaded,
when the crisis came, that II the Brit
ish conquered the Transvaal their own
independence would be overborne, they
reluctantly made common cause with
their cousins in the north. Naturally,
they have no great heart in the war
now that they see it's foregone conclu-
sion. President Steyn, who has burned
his bridges, may wish TO fight to the
last ditch, but he must deal with the |
provident farmers who want to save
their homes from conlagration, and |
these are not likely TO follow him to |
ruin. 1t is rational to expect that the
Free Staters will soon stand from
under, leaving the Beers of the north
ern belt to take hot shot alone.
The sudden change in the character
of the war Is matched by the change
in European sentiment towards Great

the trlumphs OF British arms are not

British diplomacy has also done sig

Some Bills Consider d.

DIR. Wood referred to several bills on
the table which he did not think should
come under the heading of suppress
sion of the plague" He took up first
bill from the Paia plantation for
$187.50 for sending the steamer Lehua
to Honolulu to bring the news of the
plague cases in Kahului to the health
authorities here. This bill was, how
ever, approved by the Board.
A number OF other bills for the build
ing of scow for carrying refuse to sea
ana a wharf from which to load the
scow. amounting to 1887, was consid-
cred. DR.. Wood thought that the In
terror department ought to stand this
expense as the scow, etc, was not
necessarily simply for use during the
plague and had, in fact, been very badly
needed before the plague broke out in
Honolulu. Nevertheless 1t was the will
of the Board that the bills be approved,
as the expense was incurred as an emer-
gency necessity under plague condi-
tons. DR.. Wood expressed 1t as his
opinion that a good many outside ac-
counts were being paid by the Board Of
Health out of the plague appropriations
which greatly magnified the legitimate
plague account.
three Hilo physicians had sent in
their bills for $25 each for holding the
post-mortem examination In the Serrao
case 1t Is customary for only one doc
tor to charge for post, others can at
tend II they wish but ask no remunera-
ton. 1t was decided that only one of
the Hilo medicos should be paid.

Board of Health Meeting.

The principal matter OF business be-
fore the Board of Health yesterday aft
ernoon was the disposition of the
house wherein the last plague victim
died. DR.. Wood reported to the Board
that he had visited the premises early
in the morning. The building Is a
large. new cottage, in a lot by itself
on Young street near Aloha lane; it is
owned by Mr.. Colburn and was inhab-
tied by G. A. Long and his family.
DR.. Wood, addressing the meeting,
said: The native died in the cot
tage itself, although he had been sick
In a small building in a corner of the
lot away from the main building. He
was taken sick Friday night, but his
illness was considered nothing more
than an ordinary cold; after he became
very sick on Saturday, he was removed
by his friends from his room in the
smaller building to an apartment in
the house itself, where he died on
Sunday. Up to February "a this man
was employed as guard by the Board
OF Health; since that time he had ap-
parently been doing nothing.
II would like to have the Board
visit these premises; believe that
there Is a chance here of disinfecting
so thoroughly that 1t will not be neces-
sary to go to the extreme of burning.
Whenever We have considered 1t neces-
sary to burn an infected building 1t was
because the structure was incapable
of being disinfected in any way ex-
cept by fire. This residence of q. A.
Long, 1t seems to me. is capable OF be-
Ing dislnfected. The house Is new;
Is separate from any other buildings
Is raised up off the ground; has all
the light and ventilation necessary,
and is perfectly sanitary. Everything
In the house could be thoroughly
swashed with strong disinfectant So
luton and the place could be sealed
up and fumigated as many times as Is
necessary.
"The clubhouse containing the room
in which the victim lived could be
burned together with the prlvies.
Then, II advisable, the cottage could
be left unoccupied for a number of
months and fence erected around the
place. l think there is almost no dan
ger from rats in this case; the house
affords no opportunity for the rodents
nesting and there Is really no fear of
rats spreading the disease there. Ka-
hoohano could not possibly have taken
the disease in the house; the probable
tiles are that he got his infection out
side"

The Disposition of Rats.

II think we should adopt more ener-
getic measures to get after the rats"
said DIR. Wood, unless the rats are in
fected by the plague, how are we to
account for cases of the disease break
ing out after intervals OF several days
in different parts of the city? Lots of
rats are being destroyed daily by small
boys and soldiers with firearms; they
find many OF the animals In the trees.
The destruction OF the rats is certainly
worth all 1t costs; a great deal OF money
has already been paid out for this pur-
pose. but the results are not all they
should be. think the Board should
seriously consider this matter"
DIR. Emerson suggested employing
the mongoose to destroy the obnoxious
rodent. He thought 1t would be good
idea to build fence around one block
at time. turn in the mongooses and
after all the rats In that block are de-
stroyed, remove the fence and put 1t

DENIED BY TWEED.
HUNTINGTON SOUTHERN PACIFIC
STOCKS NOT FOR SALE

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-In explanation
of the activity of Southern Pacific rail-
way shares in the stock market, rumor
was circulated today that a powerful
banking interest, not hitherto identified
with the Southern Pacific nor with the
transcontinental railway situation had
arranged to acquire either all or a large
part of the Huntington shares.
Charles H. Tweed, chairman of ths
Southern Pacific directors. and one of the
executors of Coils P Huntington's
estate, said:
Il do not know anything about a new
banking interest coming into TINS prop
erty. Certainly no arrangements have
been made for the sale of the Hunting,
ton shares to any other interest. Those
shares are not for sale, and so far as I
am able to judge at present, the Hunt
ington holdings of Southern Pacific stock
will be kept intact"
Asked about the report that 4 close
mutually of interest had been forced be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the
Union Pacific railroads, Mr.. Tweed said:
Nothing new has happened in that
respect. Those two railway companies
are working tremendously. We nope
that the friendly relations now existing
will continue"
Charles VI. Hays, the new president of
the Southern Pacific company, had
conference with Chairman Tweed today.
Early in December Mr.. Hays Will start
on a leisurely trip across the continent
to San Francisco accompanied by South
ern Pacific officials.

DlY IF THANKS INST. Paul
USUAL APPROPRIATE CEREMONIES
WILL BE Conducted IN
THE CHURCHES
PRAISE AND SORROW MINGLE
Death Of Senator Davis Common
Source of Grief That VIII Be
Felt in All Circles
Today.

The usual preparations have been made
for the observance of Thanksgiving
day in st. Paul and in the state of Min
nesota. By official proclamations from
the state executive, Gov. Lind, and the
city's chief, Mayor Smith, the citizens
have been called upon to give thanks for
the blessings received, and they have ac-
cordingly arranged to do so.
The usual religious ceremonies will be
held in this city in the various churches.
Special programmes have been prepared,
many Of which involve elaborate cere-
monies. Appropriate sermons for the
day will be preached, anthems of praise
and thanksgiving will be sung and the
dutiful worshiper will not forget to &C
knowledge the source of all these benign
gifts in silent and solemn devotion The
hours of service at the churches In the
majority of instances, will be those ordi-
narily observed on the Sabbath day, and
it is expected that large congregations
will attend.
The poor and needy Of the city and
of the state, who are not able, perhaps,
to discover as many apparent causes for
thanksgiving as some of their more COM
Portable friends and neighbors, will not
be forgotten on this day of general
praise. The churches and benevolent
societies, the young peoples organiZa-
tons and commercial bodies Of the city
good times, not been unmindful of the
destitute and have accordingly set apart
from out their bounty a supply for these.
The red-locked turkey may approach one
of these modest citizens with as much
diffidence, therefore, as he would stalk
near the man whose purse is filed with
coin, for they are all alike on this day
the avowed foe of the gobbler. The in
satiate appetite that dominates men on
this national day does not confine itself
to those who fortunately possess the
price of the fowl
The people of St Paul, of Minneapolis and
of the nation indeed, will have to turn
but one page of the years annals to find
that all which has transpired within the
scope of this year, has not brought them
happiness or apparent reason for Thanks
giving. Over the land hangs a deep
gloom Of sorrow, which has been already
recognized by this and kindred
nations, and the great aff1iction
will not be unheeded on this
day, especially in ST. Paul, where
the sad event had it's origin. The death
of Senator Davis casts a peculiar shade
of sorrow over the city, and the moment
Gus fact VIII manifest itself in more than
one way today no doubt. It is not the
least doubtful that those who attend the
divine services, will hear the name of this
great patriot spoken with reverence from
the pulpit, and from the many other
places of observance will the same feel
ing of respect and grief pervade the sur
roundingS.
st. Pauls Thanksgiving day this year,
is fraught with a peculiar SOlemnity, per
haps never before realized.

ALMOST 4 THIRD MURDER
YOUNG MAN SHOT AND WOUNDED
BY cold HIGHWAY
MEN
BULLET GRAZED HIS SCALP

Skull Would Have Been Pierced

BULLET GRAzED HIS SCALP

1t was only matter of half an inch
and Minneapolis would have had the
third murder sensation of the week on
its hands. Edgar Green, a young man,
residing at 10 Fourth street southeast,
was stopped by two highwaymen early
last evening, and after he struck one of
them in the jaw and started to run
away, the second highwayman fired a
revolver at him. The bullet grazed the
top Of the head, inf1icting a scalp wound
about two inches long. Green was at
the time in a crouching position other
wise he would have received the bullet
in some part of the body. Had he been
raised half an inch, or a little more, the
bullet would have crashed through his
brain.
Green is employed at T. NJ. Roberts
establishment. Last evening he left his
home about 8 o'clock to call on his
brother, who is employed by H. S. Cleve-
land, on Washington avenue, Between
Fifth and Sixth. Having crossed the
steel arch bridge Green started to make
a short cut. He went to First avenue,
and from there to Second street, and
down to Third avenue. He reached the
corner, outside the North Star Wooden
company's office, when two men stepped
up to him with the result mentioned. The
highwaymen made their escape.
