OTHER MATTERS.

President Sloggett briefly reported
upon negotiations in the slaughter
house matter. but nothing fir has
been decided.
The application of Elder w. H. Wad-
dauts. of the Church Of Jesus Christ
for permission to allow Elder Bellester
to visit the settlement was granted.
There was some discussion over the
matter Of a temporary visit. as ii is
the custom for churchnen once in Mo-
lokai to remain there, but this was
waived, and Il permit issued for three
weeks. The Latter Day Saints are eX-
pecting to dedicate a chapel at Molo-
kai. and for that reason the elders
presence is desired.
The board of examiners reported that
DR.. Y. Nagai had successfully passed
the examination, and the treasurer was
asked to issue the necessary certifi-
cate.
The appointment of DIR. Russell at
Olaa in place of Charles b. Blake, dur
ing his absence, was changed TO take
effect December 1st, as the latter had
found il ~eXpedieut to cav a month
earlier than intended.
DR.. H. Wood, government physician.
at Waialua Oahu, wrote to inquire if
he had authority to stop the practice
of Chinese, who put ducks in a large
fish pond, and then sold the fish from
the contaminated water. The matter
was referred to Executive officer Pratt
for reply.
The sanitary inspector at Hilo re-
ported tina sanitary conditions were
improving in that district, and the
premises were in much better shape,
the people obeyinS the laws made for
the protection of health.

BOARD OF HEALTH
TO INVESTIGATE
Hinted That There is Something
Crooked-Dr. Oliver
Reports.

Affairs at the MoIokai settlement oc-
cupied the attention of the Board of
Health very largely at yesterdays
postponed meeting. There were pres
ent Drs. Sloggett n Moore. and
ecutive officer Pratt.
Crookedness was limited at. by various
members of the board when Superin-
tendent Reynolds reported that the
second consignment of paiai had again
failed to reach the settlement. and a
thorough Investigation is likely to be
made for failure to keep the contract.
The schooner Waialua is carrying paiai
for the settlement now, and it is
charged that some members of her
crew are interested in not allowing the
permitting it to spoil. DR.. Pratt stat
ed that the government had already
lost 5000 through the failure to deliver
the paiai, not taking into account the
extra ration of Hour which was made
necessary by that failure. Superintend-
ent Reynolds report on the matter,
sent from Molokai, was as follows:
Il have TO report that the paiai
schooner has not arrived yet, and was
not visible when we left HaIawa Point
at daybreak. 1 find that Saturday at
noon she was abreast of the Molokai
light, with a fair wind; Sunday she
was abreast of the settlement, and that
is the last L can hear of her except
that at Halawa 1 heard she was seen
making towards Kahului yesterday. OF
we will nave two lots of stale
paiai dumped here after having serv-
ed out a ration OF -four. 1 think there
must be something crooked in work
ing of the schooner, for 1 am told
with the prevailing wind of Sat
urday last she ought to have reached
Kahului between Saturday night II
Sunday morning."

REPORT OF DR.. OLIVER.

DIR. divers report upon the condi-
ions of the inmates Of the Molokai
settlement showed a fever to have been
prevailing there which was seriously
affecting some of the lepers. There
were fourteen deaths during the month
of November, including the supposed
death by drowning of one of the in
mates of the Baldwin Home. and the
deaths of two infants. There were
eight cases of chicken pox, and as
three developed in one day, it vas
thought advisable to close the schools
for a time. There was only one death
from fever, and but one new case.
DR.. Oliver describes the fever as
similar to the one epidemic in 1896 and
1897. Since the commencement of the
epidemic in July last there We're 1872
cases, with 8 deaths. Several kokuas
were also attacked, but their condition
