Senator Achi will be governed-by tre
action of his associates. No Republic
can caucus has been held, AMI none
Will be held on this matter, according
to each Of the men named, excep- A..b1
who seems to consider that there will
be conference.
The position of Senator Baldwin is
on all fours with that of Senator Paris,
Nacccrding to his expressions to friend
before leaving. Senator Baldwin was
called to his Maui home on business
and. saio that he was ready to return
whenever he was needed by the Sen
ate. The same friend said that from
his talk with Mr.. Baldwin he was of
the opinion that the Senator expected
that the Acting Governor would exer-
else the power given him in the Or
ganic Act and take steps to cut out
some of the ill-advised legislation. AS
to the Maui Senator taking such action
as a personal reflection upon himself,
this is not thought probable by those
who know the sensible view usually
taken by that Senator.
Senator Kalauokalani and Represent
ative Emmeluth are said to be busy in
the task of rounding up the Independ-
ents and making plea for the party
presenting solid front against any We
to whatever. That they are meeting
with some success is sure and it may
be possible that in case it is found that
the opposition is not strong enough to
override the vetos, that there are
enough members pledged to. break the
quorum. The fact that this would be
putting themselves on record, just as
much as voting for the Acting Govern
or's propositions, may have a deterrent
effect on those who think this
course will balk the reductions.
Acting Governor Cooper yesterday
scanned his mail carefully as it is high
time to receive an answer from the In
terror Department at Washington as to
the issuance of the bonds under the
act of 1898. The last letter from Sec
retary Hitchcock on this subject was
dated June ed. at which time the Sec
retary promised immediate considera-
ton for this matter. The mail received
yesterday left Washington July 4th, but
it contained nothing on the subject.
The clerks and other employees of the
Legislature are arranging for a luau
to be given before the departure of the
out-of-town members for their homes.
The place for the feast has not been
selected, but it may be held at the resi-
dence of Senator Kalauokalani on Ber-
retania street.

The enmity existing of late between
the union and non-union Chinese en-
ployed in the laundries has beeen so
strong that several cases of assault

1ntimation that the dead man may

Precautions Against Plague.

MARsEILLES. July 1.-THE preeau-
tionary measures taken to prevent an
outbreak of bubonic plague among the
crew and passengers of he French
steamer Laos, Captain Flandin. from
Yokohama, May 23d, which arrived here
July 7th. have been handicapped by the
refusal of the Arab stokers to submit 10
vaccination with plague serum.
Grave fears are held that the piagus
will spread unless all the passengers ana
crew of the Laos now held in quarantine

MR.. SMITH GOT HIS WHISKY.
Experience of IA Lecturer in "a Tenn

A story that f. Hopkinson Smith likes
to tell on himself is Of an experience in a
trip as a lecturer before womens clubs.
He reached one Of the large Northwestern
cities on a bitterly cold day. and being a
little late hurried TO the house where he
was to read
After he had changed his travelling dress
he found that his teeth were still fairly
chattering with cold and he felt that he
must be warmed before beginning his ef-
fort to interest his audience. Across the
han was the ladies' dressing room, in
which were number Of women laying of
their wraps He approached the door,
and. naming his hostess, asked If she We're
present.

gered but she rallied to the situation.
i see she said. you are in, Mr.
Smith. You shall have the whisky"
She crossed the room TO a medicine
closet, took out a small phial. filed tea
spoon from II, and returning said in a
commanding voice:
"Open your mouth Mr. Smith"
Mr.. Smith obediently opened his mouth

WEIGHS ICE WITH A TAPE.
A Woman Discovers n Way to Get
Her Moneys Worth.

1t would not be so pleasant 70 be the
iceman were all women like Mrs. Caro-
line A Bley of thu Cummings apartment
building, Grand Boulevard and Fifty-first
Street. Mrs. Bley has discovered a way
to protect herself against short weight.
How much does a cubic foot of ice
weigh, anyhow she asked.
The iceman was taken of his guard.
About fifty-eight pounds. he replied.
Then he went on to say that the weight
ran from fifty-siX To sixty pounds, but
that tifty-eight pounds was fair aver
age.
Mrs. Bley had learned enough The
next day she accused the iceman of hav-
ing sold her forty-three pounds of ice for
fifty pounds. The man expOstulated.
But you did" said Mrs. Bley. ~ meas
ured it
Then the woman produced tape line
and set about measuring the cake that the
iceman was just taking from his wagon
There was a quick calculation, in which
a pencil and paper figured.
THAT piece weighs only forty four
pounds" she said. Put il on the scales
and see"
The ice was weighed and the woman
was vindicated. The driver gasped.
Mrs. Bley's system was simple. For in
stance, cubic foot of ice is u inches
wide, u inches in breadth. and y inches
long. Multiply the dimensions and the re-
suit is l. 72S. Then divide this sum by IS.
the weight of a cubic foot of ice, and 80
is arrived at. Thirty, therefore, was the
mystic number.
in brief, measure the three sides of your
ice multiply the number of inches and
then divide by thirty. The quotient is the
number of pounds that the cake of ice
weighs.
My lfty-pound cake of ice was short
for many days" said Mrs. Bley yesterday.
1T weighed only about forty-One or forty
two pounds. After l hit on my scheme l
told the driver of the wagon. and he saw.
there was no use of attempting to deceive
me 1 get full weight now.'-Chicago

EvADED OUR wARsHIPs.
A Spanish Captain Tells How He Ran
the Cuban blockade

Manuel Deschamps, who, as captain Of
the MOntserrat. twice ran the blockade OF
the Island of Cuba by the American fleet
during the Hispano-American war. air
who is now in this city. speaks of his
achievement modestly and with the sim
plicity of a brave seaman
Yesterday, talking to a reporter, he
said;
''The general manager of the Spanish
Transatlantic Company chose me to
command the Monserrat in order to
convey to Cuba 400 soldiers. quantity
Of ammunition and S800o,O00 for the needs
Of the forces operating in the island
Il accepted with pleasure, being not
only anxious TO fulfill my duty toward
the company. but also to do something
for my country in her hour of need I
took on my cargo at Cadiz. When l sailed
the war had not yet broken out. and so
in order TO fiHd out just what the situa-
ton was I put in at Martinique. They
would hardly let me approach for fear
of breaking the neutrality laws. But 1
found out that war had been declared
and that the Island of Cuba was block
AIDED by a powerful squadron.
Prepared if needs be to die for Spain,
and knowing that it would be impossible
to enter the harbor of Havana, as most
of the American squadron was concen-
trated at that port. l made up my mind
to run for CienfuegOs. and succeeded in
entering that port despite the vigilance
of the American warshios.
After staying there six days I return
ed to CadiZ and took on another war

OF July p, 1898. when the war was at its
height. l decided not 10 attempt to en-
ter Cienfuegos again, but TO make my
attempt this time at Matanzas. l waited
until night fell and at about II o'clock
putting out ali my lights. l started un-
der full steam for the shore. In spite of
all my precautions I was observed by

suit and fired three shots after rs, think

words 'Dios Y Patria' kept steadily on my
course. Several other shots were fired,
some of which fell within a few yards
OF the vessel. But when 1 got nearer
land 1 was aided by the forts. where the
roar of the Nashviiles guns had been
heard. and i made the port in safety and
unloaded my cargo.
For his services Captain Deschamps

vice are fun of Information tending
to implicate the rat as a prominent fac
tor in the spread of the plague. They
indicate that the worst offence of which
he is guilty is not in deserving doomed
ships, but in carrying therefrom the dead
ly germ which may prove a menace to
the people of an entire nation. 1t is be-
lieved that the rat is not a direct agency
in the spread Of the disease, but that his
body is a breeding place for fieas, which
convey the malady to the human subject.
The history of bubonic plague during
the nineteenth century has presented the
peculiar feature of the recession of the
disease toward the East, from whence it
doubtless, in the first instance, originated
several thousand years ago. In 1915 it
appeared in Italy, and was confined TO
a small district. An Isolated epidemic
appeared in Greece in 1928. 1t appeared in
Egypt in 1915, that year witnessing the
last plague epidemic there and marking
its great eastward recession. Since 1850
the disease has oscillated, now east and
now west, between the Red Sea and the
Pacific, in China, India, Arabia, Persia,
Mesopotamia, Russia, the Caspian Sea,
Afghanistan, and Tripoli There have
been since 1850 but nineteen years when
it has not been recorded in one or the
other of these countries. While compare
