a Task

There is failure of the strength
to do and the power to endure; a
feeling Of weakness all over the
body.
The vital functions are impaired,
food does not nourish, and the
whole system is run down.
A medicine that strengthens the
stomach, perfects digestion, invig.
crates and tones is needed.
What Hoods Ssrsaparilla did for Mrs. L. B.

her work. 1t restored her appetite. increased
her weight, and made her well and strong,

WINDING UP
THE BOER WAR
Petersburg, Late Capital of the
Burghers, Taken by
Plumer.

LONDON, April 9.-Lord Kitchener,
reporting to the War Office under date
of Pretoria, April s, says:
"Plumer has occupied Petersburg
with slight opposition. He captured
two locomotives and thirtynine
trucks"
The capture of Petersburg is re-
garded here as important. The place
is the termination of the railway, and
has been the capital Of the Boer gov
ernment since the evacuation of Pre-
toria. The whole Northern Railway Is
now in the hands of the British.
According to Lord Kitchener-s dis
patch only one officer and one man
was killed. The Beers evacuated the
town during the night prior to Plu-
mer's arrival, after blowing up two
trucks laden with ammunition.
Lord Kitchener reports the capture
of sixteen prisoners. fifty horses and
the depot of war stores at Boscnman's 8
Kop, Orange River Colony.
AS an Offset the commander in chfef
reports that a hundred men Of the
British Lancers and Imperial Yeoman-
ry were attacked by 400 Beers TO the
northward Of Aberdeen, Cape Colony,
and that after several hours lighting
the British were surrounded and cap
tured, with the exception of twenty
five, who succeeded in making their
escape.

Whereas, the efficacy of vaccination
is now accepted by the whole medical
profession all over the world, and has
been thoroughly accepted as unas-
sailable, the mass of evidence as re-
ported by statistics going to prove this
fact, being enormous, the following be-
I ing a few of them:
In the German empire, according to
authentic statistics, in the year 1896,
there were, out of population of Co.,
100000, only ten cases of smallpox, and
Germany is the most thoroughly vac
cinated country in the world. The law
is enforced not only in regard to in
fants, but also In regard TO re-vaccina
ton. There has not been a case of
smallpox in the German empire since
1874. In Hindostant, in four years,
1S73-1S76 inclusive, there died 100000
from smallpox On the other hand
among British soldiers in the same
country, only two deaths occurred from
smallpox in the same period. In Swe-
den for twenty-four years before the
| Introduction of vaccination the annual
death rate from smallpox was about
1850 per million of the population; af-
ter the Introduction of vaccination the
annual death rate from smallpox drop
ped to 15S per million, and
Whereas, the danger Of transmitting
disease has been reduced to absolutely
nil for the following reasons:
| All vaccine used in these Islands is
obtained from New Zealand. and taken
/ from carefully selected and tested
calves, and after the vaccine is OBJ
| tained, the calf is killed and examined
/ for tuberculosis or other diseases. and
/ If found even suspiciously unhealthy or
! diseased the virus is destroyed. The
vaccine is prepared under thoroughly
antiseptic conditions, and is put up in
hermetically sealed glass tubes. Vac
cination is now performed in the ISL
ands entirely with ivory points or new
steel needles, a fresh point or needle
being used for each patient, and there
is no danger of any disease being
transmitted by vaccination.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
/ Governor of this Territory be and he
is hereby strongly urged to veto said
| amendment to the Penal Laws. Re
spectfully submitted.

Serious Phase of

PiIikia.
THOUSANDS TO BE
SPENT ELSEWHERE
Island Contracts May Have to Be
Sent to Various Mainland
Iron Companies.
THE strike at the Honolulu Iron

THE strike at the Honolulu Iron
4 Works has taken new phase.
- The Iron Works has large con-
tracts on hand and the strikers assume
that the company could not afford to
remain idle with the obligations incl
Iron Works Co. has, however, made re-
sistance to the strikers demands a
matter of principle and has refused to
|acquiesce in them no matter what the
consequences may be. The company
holds that compliance would be to vir-
tually turn over the business of the
company to the control OF the Union.
the latter having demanded at the start
that none but members Of the union
shall be employed and that the union
shall fix the rate of wages, and that
certain employee or employees shall be
discharged at the demand OF the untcn.
The Iron Works company has been
|endeavoring to get machinists from the
coast and has obtained some who have
gone to work. 1t has also been utiiiz-
ed in other departments.
| The amount of work Oh hand, is how
ever, SO large that the, company does
not propose to wait any longer for a
possible settlement or until enough
machinists can be obtained to do all the
work required, but Mr.. Hedemann. the
manager, will leave by-the Mariposa to-
morrow for the coast, taking with him
oh
800, 900 worth of work which he will
distribute among the machine shops on
the coast and the East.
As this work consists of about seven
ty-five per cent Of labor 1t seems that
$75, 600 worth of labor money which
would otherwise be spent in this city
in the next few months will be sent
labroad.
1t is understood that the strikers have
inow reduced their demands to the dis
company claim that the grounds of
dissatisfaction are insufficient and de-
lcline to discharge him.
In view of the fact that the otNEinal
demands of the strikers involving any
matter of principle, have been waived
by them, 1t would seem to be the part
of wisdom as far as they are concerned.
to abandon the demand for the dis
Icharge of single workman.
Many of the individual strikers have
expressed their desire to return to work
but claim that they are afraid to do so
unless the Union acts as a whole. 1t Is
up to the Union to say what it will do
in the matter, and it is understood that
a meeting of some of the principal
members will be. held today to decide.

THE COMING
PORTO RlC.ANS
One Family Backs TOUT and
WANT to- be- Returned
Home.

NEW ORLEANS, April 6-After
three days detention in midstream of
the Mississippi river, the Porto Rican
emigrants an the steamer Californian
were taken ashore and shipped west
ward on the Southern Pacific. During
the stay in the river three babies died
OF anemia, another having already sue
.cumbed on the voyage from Porto Rico.
When the train was ready TO start
one of the emigrants named Moellers
and relative of his, together with
their wives and seven children, refused
TO go with the party, and every en-
deavor on the part Of the agents could
not induce them to move They claim
ed that they had had insufficient food
during the trip and that though one
OF the children was seriously i'll it re-
ceiyed scarcely any medicaI attention.
The man, Moellers, finally declared
himself Spanish citizen and made an
appeal to Don Pedro Solo, the Spanish
Consul, to assist them. They are utter
~ destitute, and nearly all are Ill. They
have been given some assistance by
hindhearted people, and local physi-
clan Is treating them gratis. Consul
Solo has not yet taken any action. The
agent of the Hawaiian Planters Asso-
citation offered TO pay the families
board in New Orleans for a week II
but they fatty refused and only desire
10 be sent back to Ponce.
It is claimed that the steamer Cali
fornian remained three days IN the
river so as to make close connection
with the Pacific Mail steamer, 1t being
cheaper to house the emigrants in the
vessel than on shore in California.
Ell PASO, Tex, April S.-Dysentery

| The natives occupied twenty-five
cars, running in two sections. Doctors

them, have their hands full. for the
emigrants are ali more or less indis-
posed. Mariana Abril. native OF Por-

Dear Sirs-Your committee to whom
was entrusted the duty of drafting a
resolution to be presented to the Gov
ernor of this Territory, asking that he
veto the new amendment to the Penal
Laws concerning compulsory vaccina-
ton, respectfully submit to the associa-
ton the accompanying resolutions and
recommend that they be adopted as the
unanimous sense of this associations:
Whereas, a bill has now passed both
houses Of the Legislature. naving for

vision relative to compulsory vaccina-
ton, and
whereas, it is the unanimous opinion
of the association that if such amend

a grave menace to the public heaItn
for the following reasons:
The position Of these Islands render
them extremely amenable to contagious
diseases, fact especially apparent al
the present time when smallpox is
prevalent in San Francisco, and among
States of the United States: the time
elapsing between the departure OF
steamers from San Francisco and ar

MISERY AMONG
PORTO RICAN,
Men Who Commit Suicide Rather
Than See Their Families

NEW YORK, April 9.-Senor Santa
go Iglesias, delegate of the Federation
of Labor of Porto Rico, who arrived
on the steamer Ponce from San Juan,
is the bearer OF a petition from the
workmen of Porto Rico to President
Mckinley.
In this petition, which bears 5000 sig
natures, the Porto Ricans say:
Misery, with all it's horrible conse-
quences, is spreading in our homes with
wonderful rapidity. 1t has already
reached such an extreme that many
workers are starving to death, while
others that have not the courage to see
their mothers, wives, children and sis
ters perish by hunger, commit suicide
by drowning themselves in the river, OF
hanging themselves from branches OF
trees
