NO PENSION FOR EX-QUEEN
SENATOR HOAR'S MOTION is
TABLED.
Senate Considers That 1t Would Be a
Bad Precedent, in View of Other
Island Sovereigns.

WASHINGTON March 1O.-While
the Senate had the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill under consider
alton today a lively debate was pre-
Cipitated by an amendment offered by
Hoar of Massachusetts, proposing to
give former Queen Liliukolani of Ha-
wall $4,000, and an annuity of 100000
The amendment was tabled without di-
vision.
In explanation of the amendment,
Hoar said the former queen was the
proprietor in her own right of much
property that had been lost to her by
her reinforcement. He said that she
had been the subject of cruel calumnles
which he was assured had not the
slightest foundation in fact. He was
satisfied her life had been quite spot
less.
Tillman of South Carolina, insisted
that if any obligation existed at all 1t
was one of Hawaii and not of the
United States.
Plat Of Connecticut, did not believe
the former queen had the slightest
claim on the United States and, while
he would be willing to join in the MAX
ing of a donation to her, under the
circumstances he would not agree to
legislation that recognized her right to
any such payments.
Gallinger of New Hampshire, denoun-
ced the proposed appropriation as ut
terly unjuctifable
Lodge of Massachusetts, while admit
ting that the former queen had no claim
on the United States, said the PROPOSE
ton made was simply as an act of
grace.
Thurston of Nebraska, suggested the
donation to the former queen of a lump
sum. He strongly opposed putting her
on the pension rolls of the United
States.
Cockrell of Missouri, in opposition to
the amendment, declared it was a dan
gerous precedent to establish at this
time.
IF we are to pension all the mon
archs dethroned from our islands" he
said, I'VE are likely to have our hands
full. There will be the Queen of Ha-
wall, the Queen of the Sulus, and the
monarchs of many other places. Headed
by the Queen of Hawaii with $4,000,
the list will go down to $4,000 for some
body else, and then $1,000, and finally
wind up with a pension of $4,000 for
WIDOWS Of Presidents of the United
States"
Morgan-Wil you include the widow
of Aguinaldo? Naughter)
Cockrell-Why, of course; We'll have
to put her in.
In conclusion Cockrell announced his
opposition to the pensioning of any
monarch in any circumstances thus far
developed.
Tillman contended that the amend
ment was without equity He thought
if there were any claim at all it should
be paid by the people of Hawaii.
McComas of Maryland, also opposed
the amendment taking the position
that there was no moral or legal obli-
cation to pay the proposed pension. He
did not concede that Lilioukalani had
been entitled to continue in the office.
On motion of Carter of Montana, the
amendment was laid on the table. The
bill was then passed.

70 AMEND FREIGHT RULES
BOARD OF HEALTH CONSIDERING
THE MATTER.
After March 90 All American and Euro
pean Goods May Go-Cemeteries to be
Closed After July /.

At the meeting of the Board of Health
held yesterday afternoon a most inn
portant resolution in regard to freight
shipments was introduced 1t was the
result of the fact that for over a month
the plague has been reduced to the en-
pected sporadic cases and the absence
of any new sources of infection or dan
ger. The feeling for some time has
been that freight regulations might be
made less stringent This is the resolu-
ton:
Resolved That all restrictions re-
specting the shipment of merchandise
from Honolulu, except merchandise
from Asiatic ports, be rescinded on and
after the 26th day of March, 1900" Re
ferred to shipping committee.
The restrictions to be removed are
those defining the merchandise that
may be shipped. Everything except
Oriental goods is considered safe. 1t is
not intended, however, that there shall
be any let up of proper disinfection of
shipments or the supervision of the
matter by the Health Board.
Another important resolution provid-
ed that on and after July l next there
should be no interment of the dead
within four miles of Thomas square as
a center. This will cut out every ceme-
terry in town, leaving only those in Ka-
lihi and beyond and in Manoa valley.
The resolution was referred to F. Nj.
Hatch and DR. f. r Day for investiga-
ton and report.
Permission was given to Colonel Rub
len for the army excavators to utilize
the scows of the Board of Health in
common with the garbage department
Of the city.
The Bishop Estate requested that the
buildings known as the Mechanics
Home be burned. The Estate owns the
property and will pay the expenses of
the destruction of the buildings. As the
houses have already been overhauled
for sanitary reasons recently there was
no objection on the part of the Board
to applying the torch to them and that
will be done.

GILMORE AT HOME.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Lieu-
tenant ]. c. Gilmore, formerly of the
cruiser Yorktown, who was captured
while ashore with a scouting party at
Bager, on the Luzon coast, in April of
last year, and who, with seven of his
men, spent eight and half months in
Philippine prisons before the party was
rescued, arrived from Manila yester-
day on the naval transport Solace. In
the steerage of the same vessel are four
of the brave fellows who endured with
Lieutenant Gilmore hardships and ad-
ventures that in the telling sound like
the stories of romance. The capture OF
the party. their trials and privations
and the remarkable rescue made by
Colonel Hare of the Thirty-third In
fantry in the mountains of Cagayan
form a story that needs no coloring to
commend it to the fancy of the most
romantic.

No VACATION ON EASTER
SCHOOLS TO WORK THROUGH THE
TIME.
On Account of Quarantine the Days
Cannot Be Lost-Change In Time Of
Summer Vacation.

Owing to the long period of quaran-
tine there will not be any Easter vaca-
ton in the schools this year Good Fri
day will be observed as a holiday, and
that is all. The day will fall on April
10. The Commissioners of Education
yesterday decided upon this regulation.
OF course it does not include country
schools which have not been closed.
Another important ruling of the Com
mssioners at the meeting held yester-
day was that all country teachers must
be at their posts of duty by April /,
or their salaries will be cut off. A
number of teachers are still in Honolulu
on account of the quarantine, and the
Department of Education has been pay
ing the salaries to substitutes in addi-
ton to their individual salaries. The
Commissioners now feel that all such
can take the prophylactic at the Board
of Health office and reach their schools.
1t was decided to allow the schools
of North and South Kona to have their
long vacation in the months of Septem-
Der and October, in place of July and
August. in order that the children
might be at their homes in the coffee
picking season. This action was taken
on account of long petition from the
districts named, which was endorsed by
School Agent j. c. Lennart. 1t was
stated that in coffee picking season the
children could earn 70 cents a day. 1t
was also decided to allow any country
district to choose it's months for the
long vacation, as in others the fall
might be more desirable than the sum-
mer.
The following additional schools of
Honolulu will reopen next Monday
Morning: Moiliili, Kakaako, Beretania
street, Pohukaina, Kawaiahao, Royal,
Emma Street, training department of
Normal School, Kauluwela and Kalu-
lani. This makes up the total of all
the city schools except those burned in
Chinatown including Kaumakapili and
Smith Street schools
