NOW THE ELECTRIC FANS
MANY PEOPLE SICK FROM COLDS
AND NEURALGIA.
Experience in Hair Dressing Establish
ments-What officers of the Coptic
Say About Using the Fans.

Physicians see in the electric fan a
new danger. Unless properly used the
apparently harmless electric fan, they
say, becomes one of the most danger
Gus causes for disease. Colds, pneumo-
mia and neuralgia are charged against
it,
The patent fan long ago became one
of the most essential appliances in the
tropics. This is especially true of the
steamships plying to the Orient Life
on the transports and the other vessels
would become unbearable were it not
for the cooling electric fans. The ut
most care has to ne taken in using these
fans however for if any iJefson sits long
in the draught they are almost certain
to contract cold or neuralgia.
An ususually heavy current of cool
air is started by ,nese fans and as the
user is very apt to turn them on when
in perspiration the danger from sit
ting in such a draught is very great.
Frank Nichols is among the reported
VictOms of the electric fan. 1t is said
that he used to constantly sit in the
draught in the store. The result was
that he, contracted severe cold which
nearly developed into pneumonia. Other
cases of similar character have also
been reported.
Probably the worst sufferers from the
electric fan cold are the women. A To-
cal hair dressing establishment former
ly used fans to dry the hair after a
shampoo. The result was that dozens
of women began to complain of neu-
ralgia. Others caught bad colds from
the same cause.
The officers on ,he Coptic were speak
ing of this matter yesterday. They said
that the only way to use a fan was to
keep the current of air directed from
you. To sit in the strong draught would
be very dangerous. No matter how hot
the weather gets out in Asiatic waters
the officers made it a rule never to turn
the current directly on them for any
length of time.

a cable from Pretoria says: The block
house system which was recently
adopted by the British is evidently a
success. The blockhouses now entend
a long distance. Their construction has
been rapid. only a fortnight having
been occupied in building enough of
miles long.
This system has resulted in interrupt
ing communication between the diff
ferent bodies of Beers, and enables the
British to obtain accurate knowledge
of the movements of burghers. Attacks
on the railway are futile where block
houses have been completed and at the
present time nearly 1000 miles of rail-
can now be brought along the line, and
the Beers are being rapidly deprived of
their stock. Breaks in the railway by
the Beers are now greatly re -uced.

WAR OFFICE BOYCOTT.

LONDON. August 1.-The contest be-

paper The War Office had not only
cut out the Daily Mails South African
casualty lists and other official news
but had also ordered the various news
agencies not to supply the paper with

Daily Mail sued the news agencies I'M

The War Office then held back bulle-

storm of protest from the provincial

G. POLITE formerly of Honolulu was a

Kong yesterday en- route to Manila
! While Mr.. POLITE is going to Manila
primarily on business of a private char
acter, he intends to look into the pos

The government does not yet permit
laborers to be brought to these islands

day. 81 think that the labor ranks here
could be well recruited with Filipinos
and | intend to look into this matter
while in the Philippines. The shipment
OF laborers from there will depend up
on the decision of the Washington peo-
pie.
AS you are perhaps aware there are
some government officials who are en-
route to the Philippines for the purpose
of changing the tariff system now in
operation there. The old Spanish tariff
Is still used but the American is to be
substituted.

IMP oRTANT TARIFF DECISIONS.
The Governments Revenue TO BE
Increased 100000.

NEW YORK, April H.-The Govern
ment's revenue will be increased by
$500, 900 in consequence of two decisions
handed down by Judge Townsend in the
United States Circuit Court Friday One
of these was in the case of Mills & Glib
against the United States. and the other
in that of the II B. Clafin Company
against the United States. The dispute
in the first case was over a kind of cot
ton goods. known commercially as
''lenos," while the Clafin case dealt
with certain classes of madras and
damask In each case the real point at
issue was as to whether. in the process
of weaving, there had been introduced
into the cloth threads other than warp
and filling threads. If so. under part 313
of the tariff. a duty would be assessed
in addition to the usual duty for cotton
goods.
Collector Bidwell. acting on the reports
of Appraiser Wakeman's officers. assessed
the additional duty on a large variety of
goods. on appeal, the Board of CLASH

of importers last year, but in other cases
the board affirmed the collectors decision.

EngIand's Unpopular budget.

The comparatively voluminous sun
day cable letters to this and other
American journals yesterday afford
strong evidence of the dissatisfaction
and gloom which the budget introduced
in Parliament by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach last week has spread throughout
the United Kingdom. Indeed, some fea-
lures of the measure have excited such
violent opposition that it is thought the
Government may be compelled to re-
cede from its present position with re-
gard to them.
The export tax on coal is strongly an
tagonized, and. it would seem, not with
out good reason. British economists
argue that such a tax is vicious in prin-
eign trade. Foreigners will not pay it,
and so it must come out Of home profits,
where any survive, or wages. The GER
tainty that should the Government in
sist upon retaining this imposition, ex
tensive British coal markets will be
sulting in steady pressure upon the
Ministry and many authorities think
that they will have to give in.
There is loud grumbling over the
added income tax, which IS again what
it was after the two years Of war in the
Crimea, namely, sixteen pence in the
pound: but the Government is bound
to stand or fail by that item. The
chances are that there viii be hard

THE SULTAN NOT FRIGHTENED
His Conduct During the Recent
Enrthauake Described.

NEW YORK. April 21.-Lloyd Griscom,
United States Charge d'Affaires in Con-
stantinople until relieved by Minister
Leischmann a month ago, returned yes
terday afternoon on the American liner
St Louis He was in the Dolma Bagtche
Palace on April /, when the great earth
quake shook the Sultan's capital. He
gave a graphic account yesterday of how
the Turkish ruler by his presence of mind
saved disastrous panic.
1t is an annual custom in Turkey for
the mobiles TO swear allegiance to the Sui
tan" said Mr. Griscom, and on April
| was in the Dolma Bagtche Palace to
attend this ceremony. The ceremony was
to begin at 8 a. m, and before that hour
there were at least 5000 mobiles on the
main floor of the palace.
The Sultan was present on a raised
dais at the end of the long. beautifully
decorated hail. seated on throne used
for this especial occasion. He was sur
rounded by his councillors. The earth
quake shock started almost on the stroke
of and it lasted some minutes. The floor
rocked and it seemed as if the walls
would rend asunder. Patches of the great
ornamented ceiling began to fall and brio
a-brac and statuary 10 tumble from their
places.
The great assemblage was seized with
instant panic when the trembling began.
and there was a rush for the door. Then
the Sultan showed his great power over
his mobiles. He arose to his feet and
raised his hand His voice rang through
the vast chamber as he bid them halt and
return to their places. reminding them
that their Sultan was remaining
1T had an instant, quieting effect The
mobiles. abashed by the rebuke, returned
to their places, and although the building
still trembled with recurring shocks, the
ceremony proceeded to the end. No one
was hurt in the palace and l think none
in the city.
Il think there is the utmost cordiality
toward the United States in CONSTANT
nople."
Mr.. Griscom was met at the pier by his
brother. Clement A. Griscom, manager of
the American Line.

A VIEW OF THE ENGLISH LOAN.
Lord Re~eissoke's Judgment ms to
the Coming Exchequcr Operation.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Lord Revelstoke,
head of the London house of Barring. who
has been visiting this city, was asked his
opinion regarding the outlook for the
500. ,0o0 British loan. He expressed the
belief that the loan will be readily taken.
and by English investors. There would
not. in his Judgment, be any need for a
call upon foreign capital for the purpose
american and Continental capitalists. If
they chose to subscribe. might add to the
movement of capital to London; but he
believed the English market itself ready
and willing to take the amount offered
and more If necessary. The loan will be
placed at 94k.
The decline In consols." Lord Revel-
stoke said. lis result chiefly of selling
by bankers, institutions. and estates who
believed correctly. that fresh issues would
be necessitated by the war. and that with
such additional issues there would be
more inviting opportunities for Investment
in them. There is. in addition, the ele-
ment of sales from pure fright. The pro-
cecds of such sales have largely been
held back from investment, which has
made possible even extreme declines
under stock exchange pressure
He believed that this money would
largely come into the pending loan. The
bids Of Il and Y premium yesterday, no.
ticed in London dispatches. he described
as coming from would-be investors who
have not the facilities for subscribing at
the issue price. or who wish to avoid the
trouble. They offer this premium over
any price at which the Exchequer may
choose to float the bonds, and in return
the banker or broker to whom the per-
ceutage premium is paid guarantees to
obtain the bonds and deliver them for
this much over the issue price. In his
opinion. subscriptions would be numer-
Gus enough to put through the loan sub
scription with striking and noteworthy
success.
As to the English financial situation as
a whole, Loru Revelstoke looked for no
great awakening until the South African
war is settled. The immediate sequence
to such a settlement, would, in his opin-
ion. be a rush of company fiotations
which have been held back from market
pending the period of uncertainty.
