H& QUITS NHM THE INDEPENDENT PARTY NOT CLEAN HEALTH BILLS PASSED IN THE CHANNEL PROFESS
SAN FRANCISCO AT LAST CEASES
ISSUING THEM
The Steamship Australia's Bin Shows
Plague Cases-Mail Bags Might Con-
tain Letters From Chinatown.

San Francisco has ceased to issue
clean bills OF health to vessels coming
from there. The customs and other port
authorities have at last given some
recognition to the positive assertions OF
the board OF health that there is plague
in the city. The Australia, arriving this
morning, had "a statement on her bill
OF health giving the number of cases.
and telling Of the quarantining of Chi
natown.
Among those arriving from San Fran
cisco there is as much disagreement as
among the San Francisco papers. The
Australians officers are inclined to think
that the scare is a fake. Those who hold
to this view point to the world wide
fame of the doctor who came from New
York as an expert and said there was
no plague in the city, and there are in
timations that the profitable job of in
oculating the Chinese at so much per
head had something to do with the de-
cision of some of the men who say there
is plague.
The Australia was allowed to come
into the harbor and take her usual place
at the Oceanic dock as there is thought
\ to be no danger here from San Fran
cisco's Chinatown. The passengers and
| their baggage were all allowed ashore
| without restrictions, as well as the car
go. The postoffice department held to
Onlleu oIaleS leBdl rules, ana decided
| to fumigate all the San Francisco mail
Mail from the eastern States, which
/ simply passed through San Francisco,
was distributed at once. In the San
! Francisco bags there are undoubtedly
many envelopes from Chinatown, as
Chinese merchants here carry on a good
deal of correspondence with their coun-
trymen on the Coast. For this reason
it is thought that the mail is probably
about the most dangerous stuff thai
comes here from San Francisco.
This afternoon the Australia was
moved from the Oceanic wharf to the
Pacific Mail wharf where there is q

the merchandise from San Francisco
had better be fumigated as a measure

KAwA1AHAo SEMINARY.
Closing Exercises of the Year Held This
Morning

The closing exercises of Kawaiahao
There was quite a large attendance of
following the exercises by the pupils,
Captain Berger and the Government
band entertained the gathering on the
lawns of the Seminary with a concert
The selections the Captain made were
such as captivated his audience. 1t was
light, catchy music, and the girls en-
joyed it thoroughly.
The school exercises consisted of an
exhibition of regular class work. There
were class exercises in reading, arith-
metic, language, geography, history and
drawing. In drawing there was black
board exercise in drawing from objects
placed before the pupils. In the geogra-
ply exercise the pupils drew maps of
'our new possessions"
Rev. S. L. Desha examined the pupils
in the Scriptures. Rev. w. d. Wester-
welt made a short address in Hawaii
an and presented to each of the pupils
who could recite the thirteenth chap
ter of the First Corinthians a copy of
Professor Drummond's "The Greatest
Thing in the World" translated into
Hawaiian. The translation was made by
himself, and is published by Fleming
H. Revell of Chicago.
The pupils who finish the course at
the Seminary this year, and will enter
the normal school in the fall, are Lizzie
Ayau, Louisa PHI, Ching Kyau, Lille
AlSi, Lille Kealoha and Lena Ahana.
The work of the school for the past
year has been very encouraging.

EXCITING RACE OF DEEP WATER
sCHOONERs.
Corona Goes Aground Trying to Sail
out; Tries Again and is Overhauled
by the John A. Campbell.

There was an interesting and exciting
race through the channel at noon today
when the schooners John a. Campbell
and Corona, by mistake, both headed
for the open sea at the same time. They
were side by side in the middle of the
channel, the Campbell with her four
masts quickly gaining on the three
master, and all who knew watched
them knew that a little loss of wind
might result i'm miX-up of no small
importance. The Campbell however,
slid past the smaller schooner and In a
few moments they were pointing away
from one another in the open sea.
Both the schooners decided to take
advantage of the fair wind to get out
without the aid of the tug. In a first
attempt the Corona suddenly lost the
wind and drifted helplessly ashore. The
Eleu, just returning with the S. c. AL
len, which she towed i'm took hold of
the Corona and pulled her i'm to the
Pacific Mail wharf, where an examina-
tion showed that she had not been in
jured She was made ready and started
out again with Pilot Sanders in charge
The John A. Campbell with Pilot
LoTenzen, started from the upper end
of the harbor at the same time as the
Corona left the wharf and the latter
had hardly entered the channel before
| the Campbell, much faster vessel
| sailed down the harbor and into the
channel. Many were the predictions OF
a mix-up in the middle of the channel
| but each schooner was well handled
The four-master overhauled the Other
one and passed her before the mouth
of the channel was reached. Outside

| for Sound ports, made for koko Head

sells have passed one another in the mar

Dor, and as both were sailing vessels
without any tow, the pilots in charg'
are given credit for bringing them on

PROFESSOR PERKINS HERE
EMINENT NATURALIST AGAIN
IN TOWN.
Comes to the Islands to Gather and
study Butterflies and the Like-To be
Here a Year.

Prof r.. G. l.. Perkins, the natural
list, returned TO Honolulu today after
an absence of several years i'm England.
AS before, he is sent out by the Royal
Society, and comes to make further
chronological researches In the Islands.
II have been i'm England since l left
Honolulu nearly four years ago" said
the Professor this morning, "and have
been hard at work all the time upon
specimens taken from here at the time
of my former visit.
"As before, I am sent out by the so
cieties at home to gather specimens and
mount them. 1t is my intention to be
in Honolulu quite a long time and In
the Islands about one year. My stay
may be even longer than that. for the
work before me Is quite extensive
MY attention will be turned espec-
tally to this'-the Professor pointing to
cabinet in which were mounted num-
eueus butterflies and the like. He went
81 To say that he would not on this
tisit have anything to do with birds.
His intention is to gather as complete
a line of butterflies and insects as may
be found in the Islands,
One of the first calls made by the
naturalist this morning was upon Pro-
fessor Koebele, the local entomologist.
The latter opened up his collection or
butterflies, and the two men were bug
led with them for a long time. Some
of the specimens were new and were
only located by means of what may be
called a "bugicon" or dictionary of files
and bugs.
Professor Perkins is stopping at the
Arlington. The visitor is not 2 strnger
in the Islands. 1t may be added that
he is also one of the most famous men
in his line in the world

this morning in answer to a question.

will take but short time to attach the

lands are ready, and will be put up at
once, followed Immediately by instru-

MAKING ARRESTS UP TO THE
LAST MINUTE.
win Have No Power to Arrest for Non
Payment of Taxes After June 14-But
Still Doing II.

The tax collector celebrated Decora-
ton Day by issuing his warrant for an
arrest for the non-payment OF personal
taxes.
Just whom the warrant was Intended
for is hard to tell from the warrant It
self. But Lum Yock is the man who
was arrested. on It. 1t is clear from
the face of the warrant that the name
originally written in has been erased
and the name Of Lum Yock written In
afterwards. when. whether before or af-
ter the warrant was signed the war
rant itself does not disclose. The war
rant looks like it was made out on the
instalment plan. There are two or three
shades of black ink apparent, as though
the writing was done at different times.
The warrant is signed by H. c. over
end, deputy assessor of the first dlvis-
ion, Island of oahu. 1t is dated May
80. 1t was served and Lum Yock ar
rested by Abel A. Carreiro on June .,
The case has been continued to June
l2. The Territorial act abOlishes impris-
onment for debt, and there is dislike
on the part of everyone connected with
the District court to have anything to
do with the case except that the war
rant having been issued and the man
arrested, it is their duty to do so. 1t is
thought by some that if the case can be
postponed until June IA or later the
man cannot be imprisoned, as the act
distinctly says. mo person shall be SUD
iect to imprisonment for non-payment
of taxes, nor for debt"

THE QUARANTINE.
San Francisco to Be Treated as an
Infected Port.


The Cabinet this morning instructed
the Board of Health to treat San Fran
cisco as any other infected port. AT
meeting of the Board to be held this
afternoon this action will doubtless be
taken.
While the Cabinet was in session this
morning DIR. Wood president of the
Board appeared and stated the circum-
stances of the arrival of the Australia,
and the particulars as to what had been
done with her.
Minister Mott-Smith also reported a
letter from Consul Wilder in which he
reported nine cases of plague up to May
16. DIR. Wood reported the receipt of an
official letter from the San Francisco
board of health declaring that that city
was infected by plague, though the last
case had been discovered May 16. 1t
was upon this showing that the execu-
tive approved the action of Dr. Wood
in regard to the Australia, and declared
that San Francisco should be treated
as any other infected port.

ers will occupy the old Press Publishing
Companys building on Bethel street.
On account of this Bishop & Co. were

of Wyllie street bridge, and $1,000 was
set aside for the purpose.
