ONE DAY AHEAD OF TINE .SHIERS MUST NOT SPIT
BOARD OF HEALTH ORDINANCE
ON SUBJECT.
Protect Community from Consumption.
Regulation Will be Hard to Enforce.
In Effect Tomorrow.

However important this ordinance is
the police officials are today wondering
how on earth they will enforce it. To
properly carry it out there would have
to be a policeman, or several policemen,
stationed in each of the several gov
ernment buildings, one in each street
car and a large number on the streets.
1t has been suggested that the regula-
tion should have provided that half of
the fines be given to the informer, thus
enlisting the active interest of pedes-
trians and car travellers in the matter.
On the mainland the health reg
lation is considered of great i'm
portance, and only about a year ago a
millionaire in San Francisco was sent
to Jail for splitting in a street car. The
idea is the limiting of danger of con-
sumption and other pulmonary trouble.
With the cooperation of the public the
police will be able to enforce the new
law in a satisfactory manner; but
without that the regulation will fail.
Enforcing of the regulation will be-
gin tomorrow. Shortly after that 1t is
to be expected that some poor fellow
may have to answer the question Did
you eXpectorate?" mo, slah," will
answer John Chinaman; me only
split"
At yesterday afternoons meeting of
the Board of Health it was decided tc
SJOp Jne Hdbll Oh eApeClOIdllnS III the
tram cars and other public conveyances.
The following rules go into effect at
once:
Whereas, expectorating In street
railway cars and in other public con
veyances and in public buildings, is a
nuisance, a source of filth, and a cause
of sickness therefore,
BE it ordained by the Board of
Health of the Territory of Hawaii, as
follows:
Section 1. No person shall eXpec
torate upon the moor of any part ol
the interior of any street railway cal
or other public conveyance, or any
pbulic building, within the sanitar!
district of Honolulu.
Section g Any person who shall
violate this ordnance shall be fined fo
the first offence $1,000 and for any
subsequent offense $2500."

MAY SOON GO 70 PEkING
CHINESE COURT REPORTED
READY TO MOVE.
Soldiers in Hsianfu Becoming Turbu-
lent and Emperor and Dowager
Growing Alarmed.

SHANGHAI, May 1S.-A high official
now with the Court at Hsianfu writes
to q friend in Shanghai saying that
he will be glad If the Court viii return
to Peking the coming 9th moon (July).
Should it not be possible for the Court
to return at that period, he further
says, then the movement will be de-
layed till the following Sth moon (Sep-
tember) for the sake of choosing a
lucky" day. In the meantime the
Court at Hsianfu appears to be i'm an
extremely distressing state. The Kan
sub troops formerly under the COM
mand of eX-General Tung Fu-hsiang)
have grown very restless and even riot
Gus, almost to the point of downright
mutiny. Day by day they grow more
turbulent and make great clamor
For these reasons the Court may be
expected to hasten it's return to Peking
as Hsianfu seems to be growing dan
gerous
Tsinkiang-pu letter states that the
Court has not fixed any date for NOV
ing over into Honan from Hsianfu, or
| the way back to Peking. The high au-
thorities in Honan despatched officials
during the End moon (the month just
gone by) to Shao-hsiang- -hsien and An
yang-hsien to thoroughly overhaul
| those old palaces which were put up
during the preceding dynasties, for the
reception of the two Imperial Travel
| lers when they arrive in Honan, en-
route for Peking Recently, the local
officials there have received Hsianfu
| telegram urging them to go ahead with
so called Imperial preparations" and
consequently they are husily eng" red
! these days.

SENATORS LOSE TIME.
Get Tired Again This Morning and
Take Another Rest.

This morning the Senate met and
adjourned to 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. The excuse given was that the
Seniors had a lot of committee work
to do; but this was evidently a mis-
take, for soon after adjournment the
Home Rule Senators took a trail and
followed it to their haunt under the
trees.
Nowadays most of the Senators are
resting under the shades of the trees
on the capitol grounds. The work done
this week could have been finished up
in two hours by a little thrift 1t is
plainly evident today that the Home
Rulers dislike the suggestion of Cecil
Brown to refer the loan matter to
Washington. They want an extra ses-
sion with power to pass a loan and
other bills. Their disposition is, from
all accounts to use the appropriation
bill as a hook with which to null an
extra session out of the governors S
office. They will say: "Give us another
extra session or we will not pass the
appropriation bill on third reading"
They figure that the governor will get
awfully scared at this deathly threat
and give them another thirty days of
1ollins under the trees at the capitol

sci docked about 10 o'clock but the
usual delay occurred, the passengers
being detained unnecessarily upon the
ship. This treatment has been the sub
ject of many complaints by people COM
ing to this port and the restrictions
Imposed upon them are consistently
causing ADVERSE criticism of certain
Honolulu officials.

fine weather beng experienced through
out the run from the Orient. The Ves-

pore are going TO the States. He is
the agent of the Standard Oil Company

FLEW A Strange FLAG
HONGKONG MARU CARRIED THE
BRITISH COLORS.
Were Displayed at Foremost in Honor
of Sir Claude Macdonald Who Was
a Passenger.

Considerable surprise was felt this
morning on the Pacific Mail dock
when the Hongkong Maru came into
port flying the British flag at her fore
mast. 1t was the first time that any
boats of this line had flown such flag
and great curiosity was felt over the
cause.
Ordinarily she would have flown the
japanese hae or the American colors.
The first to show the last port where
she had touched or else the American
flag to show the port of destination.
When neither of these were flying and
an entirely strange Gag was shown
from that mast the crowd could not
understand it.
Whats the matter with that Tag
there?" was asked. Vivid imaginations
began to call up sensational news. The
Kisen Kaisha had changed it's route and
decided not to stop at San Francisco
any more but go to Vancouver which
is an English port. Even more start
ling possibilities were suggested. Some
of the romancers declared that Great
Britain had sfezed the province around
Shanghai where the vessel touched and
that that port was now no longer chi
nese but British territory.
When the vessel came ALONGSIDE the
dock however the presence of the Brit
ish flag was soon explained. Sir
Claude Macdonald the British minister
to Toxic was aboard as passenger
in company with his wife. The flag
was flown i'm his honor. The appear
ance of Sir Claude was watched
for with much interest. He was be
sieged bv hack drivers and express
men Sir Claude seemed perfectly able
to take care of himself however for
he promptly selected the men whom ne
wished 10 attend to his wraps and then
went over to where the customs inspec-
tors were waiting to examine his lug
gage. He promptly finished with this
disagreeble task and then he and Lady
Macdonald took a conveyance TO the
Hawaiian Hotel where they will stop
until the departure of the vessel to-
morrow

FTRED LONG WINDED PREACHER,

NEW YORK, May PA cable to the
World from Berlin says: One of the
best-known preachers in Berlin has
been dismissed for preaching too
long sermons. He was one of the pas
tors in the garrison church. The Kaiser
attended this church, and, after listen
ing to a three-quarter- of-an-hour ser
mon, sent his aid-de-camp TO say that
the sermon was too long and must be
curtailed to a quarter of an hour. On
the next Sunday the sermon was no
shorter and his majesty gave lnstruc-
tions to have the pastor removed to an
other sphere of activity. He can't stand
long sermons unless preached by him-
self.

AN INSANE MAN
RUNS AMUCK.
Michael KeIIy's Terrible Work at
LeaveuwOrth, Kansas.
TWO OF HIS VICTIMS ARE DEAD.
The Murderer FinaiIy Killed by Officers Who
Tried to Ovorpower Hlm..LOst Ms Mind
During the Presidential Campaign Of 1896
..SwOre He Would Kill the Men Who Had
Him Sent to an Asylum.

Leavenworth, Kan. (Special) Mich
ael Kelly, an insane man, at the Office
of the Robert Garrett Lumber Com
pany, in the business district, shot SIX
persons killing one, probably fatally
wounding another and more or less
seriously woundng four others. He
was himself finally killed by officer:
who tried to overpower him.
Kelly had lived in Leavenworth fof
years and at different times engaged in
minor business enterprises He was
eccentric, and during the Presidential
campaign in 1896 lost his mind entirely
AT that time he threatened to kill Gar
rett He was arrested and adjudged
insane, Garrett and four others testify
ing against him. After a year in the
Topeka Asylum Kelly was released.
Recently he had been acting queerly
again, and declared that he would kill
the FIVE men who sent him to the asy-
lum For the last two weeks he has
been practicing shooting with a pistol
at the Fort Leavenworth range. Tues
day night he drank heavily.
Soon after noon Wednesday he went
to CARROTS Office and without warning
shot Garrett as he sat at his desk
Garrett fell to the floor and Kelly de
liberately fired four more shots into
the body. Leaving his victim for dead
Kelly ran to the rear OF the lumber
yard and began reloading his pistol
Returning to the Office he found DR.
McGee, who had been attracted by the
shooting, bending over Garrett. Kelly
fired at the physician, the bullet strik
ing DR.. McGee in the spine, and he fell
near where Garrett lay.
Then followed an exciting street fghD
between the madman and officers who
came upon the scene Kelly, flourish
ing his pistol, ran through the lumber
yard He met Isaac Healer, laborer
and shot him in the hand. A few yard
further on he encountered Sergean.
Dodge The two exchanged shots a,
they ran. One bullet from Kelly
weapon struck Dodge in the neck, bu
not before that officer had shot tn,
madman in the shoulder. Kelly KEEP
running and was soon confronted b,
Detective Mcdonald and Policeman
Falthager Mcdonald dropped Kelll
with bullet in the neck. Dodge raiset
his pistol but it failed to work, anc
catching up with the murderer he
crushed his skull with the weapon.
Kelly was carried to the station in ar
unconscious condition, dying soon aftei
his arrival.

HEAT RECORDS SMASHED.
Little Prospect Of Relief From These Exhaust
Ing Conditions 10 the West

Washington (Special) -One-hundred-
degree temperatures were common
throughout the great corn belt Monday
according to the reports to the Weather
Bureau here In various places in Hi
nois, Iowa and other States all previous
heat records were smashed There ap-
pears to be no prospect Of decided relic
from these exhausting conditions for the
next two days at least, except such as
may come from the always present pos
sibilty of scattered thunderstorms which
are predicted for some portions OF he
superheated area.
Thunderstorms, unaccompanied by
some rain, prevailed in several sections
Of the West, hundreds of miles apart
They temporarily cooled the atmosphere
but brought no relief to the famishinG
crops. Absolutely no rain fell in the
corn belt, according to the official reports
eceived here
In Western Iowa it was trihe cooler
while in the central portiop of the State
It was warmer There is little belt OF
high pressure over the Great Lakes and
another over the South Atlantic Coast
but it offers no prospect of relief in thf
West so long as the continued low pres
sure remains in the Northwest.
The warm weather again was general
throughout the entire country except OH
the Pacific Coast In the East the tenn
perature, while high, did not approach
anywhere the extremes prevailing in the
West, and a recurrence of the hot wave
of two weeks ago is believed to be TN.
likely in the Atlantic Coast region
Thunder showers have continued from
the South Atlantic Coast westward into
Arizona, and continuation of them is
predicted for the South and Southwest
In Des Moines, Iowa, the temperature
officially reported was 1903 degrees; in
