Further instances might be cited, but

figuring on doubtful districts, and throw
the seeker back to statements by special
correspondents who are on the ground
and in better position to judge of condi-

ton. which was the winning OF the fight
for the House in 1898, is a similar and an
important factor this year. and can be
reckoned as almost certain TO improve
that partys chances between now and
November 6. The Democrats are in no
sense equipped to combat with the Repub-
lican machinery

HEALTH BOARD WILL
FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS

The danger of the spread of tuberculo-
sis in the Islands came in for consider
able discussion by the Board of Health
yesterday and a number of resolutions
We're passed that will result in largely
lessening II.
The committee of the Board that was
appointed at the last meeting rendered
lengthy report on the subject. 1t re-
ported the belief of it's members that tu-
berculosis was largely communicated
from tuberculous meat and milk, and
urged that the inspection of dairy herds
and slaughtered cattle be made more
rigid than ever. and that all physicians
be required to report all cases of tuber-
culosis that came under their attention
1t was further advised that literature
| on the subject of tuberculosis be freely
| disseminated and that a special hospital
for consumptives be founded as soon as
possible.
The theory was advanced that most of
the cases of tuberculosis that were to be
noted in the city were those of visitors
| to the Islands, or late corners who had
been afflicted with it before they came
here. but DIR. Wood combatted this and
said that his experience. was that Ii was
| the OlQ QWtlerS mere WHO were SefZtt
with the disease and that the cases origi-
mated in the Islands and not elsewhere
The following resolutions were passed
by the Board on the subject
Resolved, That the Board of Health d,
hereby declare pulmonary tuberculosis t
be a communicable and a preventabl
disease, and that all practicipg physi
clans and the superintendent of all hos
pitfalls, sanitariums, dispensaries, asy
, lums prisons and schools be required t
report to the Board of Health all case
= OF pulmonary tuberculosis coming undo
their care or notice within one week O
the time that such cases come to thei
knowledge and that such physicians an
= superintendent be also required to- nc
tify the Board of Health in case tn
house or apartments occupied by a pei
son having pulmonary tuberculosis
should become vacant by reason of tn
death or removal of the patent
Resolved, That careful records be keI
by the Board of Health of all reporte
IN cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and ths
N such records include the name. yresidenc

TO TEST LAW
Native Party is Against
English Clause.
Await Return Of Edgar CaypIess to
Make Fight for Hawaiian
Language.

The Independent Home Rule Party Is
preparing to hold another mass meet
ing in Honolulu. This will be called as
soon as Edgar Caypless, the delegate
for the Hawaiians to Washington, re-
turns. He Is expected by the next
steamer.
"A caucus meeting was held at the
residence of Kalauokalani, the presi-
dent of the Kalaiaina Society. and this
decision was reached.
The independents also concluded that
they Will make an attempt to test the
Territorial Law in regard to the Read
and write" qualifications for carrying
on all proceedings In the Legislature
in English. This. they claim, is a hard
ship upon the mass of the natives. AL
though they are able to converse and
read and write in English. yet they
cannot command the language in pub
lie speeches sufficiently to express
] themselves as clearly as in their own
1 tongue.
II has further been decided that no
one will be nominated to the Lesisla-
ture unless they become members of
the Home Rule Party.
! Meekapu, "a hack driver, is an aspir-
ant for legislative honors, and says,
the local legislature can set aside that
read and write clause providing for
all discussions in the legislature to be
conducted in the English language,
without violating the law" He in
tends. IL sent to the legislature, to fight
to that end. He does not believe In
sending people who understand Eng
lish to the legislature. because they
are apt to accept bribes." as he says
The Independent leaders in the two
societies hold frequent meetings in Ho-
rolulu and are determined to make a
strong fight.
