while Peru was in the throes of war with Chilli Mir. Blaine disapproved of it and it lapsed. At that time Minister Hurlburt reported thal, it offered the best facilities on the Pacific coast for an American coaling station, for be- sides the depth of water and harbor fla cilities, extensive coal mines were in the immediate vicinity, thus giving a supply of coal without the necessity of shipping it from the United States. Owing to the present differences be- tween Chili and Peru there have been recent intimations that Peru would be willing to grant coaling station to the United States. But this has not taken any official form, nor has thsre been any negotiations on Chimbote bay. The matter has not yet gone beyond the general consideration of desirable points, but officials here hope this will advance before long to the point of de- termining upon a suitable station.

swer as the territory including this harbor has been in dispute between Colombia and Costa Rica. The answer therefore was to the effect that the grant could not be made while the question of sovereignty remained open between these two countries. Since then, however, Colombia and Costa Rica have arranged to arbitrate the differences, and there is a prospect of early settlemen mt of sovereignty. With this point removed it is believed that there will be no serious objection from Colombia or Costa Rica in granting a coaling station.
 The territory runs through to the Pa citic side. where it is possible that a Pacific station might be located The right of Colombia on the Pacific side is not in dispute with Costa Rica. The latter country also has several good Pacific harbors, said to be well calcu- lated for coaling station. although there have been no overtures thus far toward securing one of them.
 In this connection attention is again directed b the bay of Chimbote in Pe- ru. When Mir. Blaine was secretary of state the United States minister to Pc ru secured a concession for an Ameri- can cOaling station on this bay but as the concession was granted by Peru

teer artillery was in camp last summer an unpopular lieutenant became the butt of his fellow officers and was made the victim of constant horseplay. He appealed for redress to Lieut.-Col. Owen. the commanding officer, but failed to obtain it. He accordingly ap- piled to the war office and an inquiry was granted. The result of this is seen in an announcement which appears in the Gazette today. Lieut-COl. Owen, Lieut. Kirby and Surgeon are removed from the volunteer force, Her Majesty having no further occasion for their services" This formula is always em- Dloyed without further explanation to denote conduct unbecomine officers and gentlemen.
 Lieut.-Col. Owen served in the vol unteers for forty years. Such attempts at persecution are comparatively ire quent, but are usually ignored by the authorities.

INCREASING FAST

The alarming increase of tuberculosis
in Honolulu is demonstrated by sta
tistical table which has just been COM
piled by Mr.. Avery of the Board of
Health office. The Hawaiians have
been in the lead in the mortality caused
by this disease. Next in numbers are
the Chinese, followed in turn by the
Japanese. the Portuguese. American
and English. Under the head of "other
nationalities," comes a large proportion
of the deaths.
The males have been stricken to a
greater extent than the females. The
greatest mortality in two years from
May /, 1898, to April 80. 1900. is amongst
those between the ages Of 20 to 80 years.
For six months beginning December l.,
1899. and ending May 81, 1900, the num-
Der of deaths from tuberculosis have
been 11S, while for two years ending
the month previous, the deaths were
2a In number, showing that in the last
visitation of plague the disease began

NUMBERED BY THOUSANDS.
Victims of La Grippe In Almost
Every Household.

Instead of waning as June fades
away into July, the epidemic of la
grippe which has prevailed in Honolulu
has waxed stronger and its victims are
numbered well up in the thousands Ill
ready with no relief in sight.
George w. Smith of the Benson,
Smith Drug Company said yesterday
that at least 60 per cent Of Honolulu's
population had been or were now in the
grasp of the monster. Whole families
have been taken down at time and
domestic affairs in many households
have been paralyzed for days at a time
by the succumbing of the servants to
the disease. No sooner does one mem
Der of family become conyalescent
than another is taken down and so 1t
runs throughout the household.

of state has in many cases been forced

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Atkinson informed the Governor yes
terday at the meeting of the heads of
departments of the disposition of John
ny Flaucon's case. Young Flaucon was
the eight-year-old boy who was sem
fenced to two years Imprisonment by
Hawaiian judge for trifling offense
and the Board of Education secured his
release a day ago. The Governor was
in sympathy with the action.
In connection with this case Mr.. At
kinson brought up the matter of a
change in the site of the reformatory.
Governor Dole suggested that the re-
form school be placed somewhere In
the country-say near Pearl rhy-
where the inmates might be worked on
farms and learn agriculture amid
healthful surroundings. 1t Is likely that
the matter will be looked into at once
and steps taken toward changing the
present methods of treatment OF juve-
nile criminals.

Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
becoming popular in Honolulu because
they are always endorsed by Honolulu
people.
Our kidneys filter our blood. They
work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of i'm
pure matter daily; when unhealthy
some part Of this impure matter Is
left In the blood, This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain In the

Donahue just 800 to serve man with

to the testimony of a witness.
The latter stated that he had imbibed
at Long Branch on the Sabbath, but
declared at first 1t was only innocent
ginger ale with something" in it. Up
on repeated questioning he finally adj
mitted that the stick" was pure whis-

of two drinks. Four witnesses for the
prosecution were called. Attorney

guilty and assessed the fine as given

other four years of Mckinley in the
White House, Admiral Dewey will be

rival for the Republican nomination

This is looking a long ways ahead,
but such was the interesting predic-
tion made today by one of the shrewd-
est of public men, one who is well be-
hind the scenes and quite familiar
with the budding ambitions that are
being nursed more or less secretly in
the breasts of men and women.
For some time society here has been
gossiping of Mrs. Dewey's ambition to
make her husband President of the
United States. Indeed, it is no longer
considered a secret, and it is known,
too, that 1904 is the year in which it Is
hoped the stars will be propitious.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The New York
Evening Post says: 1t was stated posi-
lively in Jersey City today that the
-4merican Sugar Refining Company is
preparing to shut down its Jersey City
plant, which employs 1000 men. The
men will quit work within three DAYS
The stopping of the plant is due to an
oversupply of refined sugar. The ware
houses in Jersey City and Brooklyn are
all overstocked. The refinery work was
stopped Saturday night last, but the
men have since been at work getting
out the finished product on hand.
BOSTON, Feb. 6.-The local refinery
Of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany is to be shut down in common

The shutdown is expected to be only
temporary.

cause OF the loss of large confectionery
