AN EXTRA SESSION.

The expressions OF the Denver pa
pers in connection with the revenue
measure are In line with the remarks
Of The Herald yesterday. Should the
measure be declared unconstitutional.
or invalid owing to certain defects.
II Is almost certain Governor Orman
would call the assembly together to
pass another measure. and what that
would result in Is easy to foresee
No matter which end OF the dilema one
takes II Is hard proposition. Not
only would a new and more drastic
measure he passed but the liability bill
would be amended. the St Louis ap-
propristion would be made good and
ed to the other burdens would be hard
to bear The Denver Republican ar
riving last evening gives the following
status OF the case:

BARBER SHOPS ARE FILTHY

DISEASE.
City Sanitary Officer Makes a Report
After Making a Thorough and Pains
taking Investigation.

City Sanitary officer Johnson has
just filed his report for May, in which
he gives the barber shops of Honolulu
a thorough going over. The Chinese
and the Japanese are the most severely
criticised. In speaking of their shops,
he says:
THE floors are in the majority of
cases but rough boards and hence
cannot be properly cleaned. Few, if
any, sweep their shops oftener than
once a day. The walls and corners are
usually very dirty, showing careless
ness The shops have from one to
seven razors, the majority having but
two, which are never sterilized or dis
infected in any manner. Usually a rag
is used to wipe the razor after use and,
as this rag is used time and again un-
til it gets so dirty that it is thrown
away, naturally it is worse than use
less from a sanitary standpoint after
the first use"
The general uncleanliness of the pro-
fessional paraphernalia is then review
ed. The razors, says officer Johnson,
are allowed to go month in and month
out without being treated. Towels are
few in number, a dozen week being
the average. One towel, in conse-
quence, must be used on several Gus
toners. Brushes and combs are al
lowed to collect filth, and water is not
used in over abundance.
The other shops, while considerably
better, are not conducted along lines
that would satisfy a bacteriologist.

CUBA 5 STATUS SETTLED
PLATT AMENDMENT SAID TO BE
SATISFACTORY.
The Ever-F Faithful Isle and Uncle Sam
May Now Define Their Relations to
One Another.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Secretary
Root has received a cablegram from
General Wood at Havana, confirming
the press report of the adoption of the
report of the committee on relations
with the United States, accepting in be-
half of the convention the terms of the
Plat amendmen. 1t is understood
that, without undertaking materially to
change the language of the Platt
amendment, the convention, by the ad-
dition of reports of interviews with
Secretary Root and otherwise, has
placed upon the amendment itself a
construction that will require very
serious consideration.
Secretary Root has been in daily COM
munication by cable with General
Wood, and is acquainted with the pro-
ceedings of the delegates and the ne
gotiations which led up to yesterday S
action. General Wood, in turn, has ac-
quainted the constitutional delegates
with the secretary's views in answer to
their efforts to place a construction up
on the Plat amendment. Hence the
weight of opinion inclines to the belief
that even as it stands, the convention s
action yesterday will not be disapprov-
ed from Washington. 1t is suggested
by the officials that there is no occasion
at present for the Washington Govern
ment to take action upon this matter
either by accepting or rejecting the
conventions work.
