GRIP Still RE|GNS
Disease Is More Prevalent Than Ever
Before In Canton.
DISPOSITION OF The sufferers
To Tell Their Tales of Woe to
Disinterested Friends-.-A Ten.
dency to Pneumonia.

The reign of the grip remains su-
preme. For every one who recovers, two
are attacked with the prevailing
malady, so that the number of melan-
choly looking individuals upon the
streets and in the homes of Cantonians
is on the increase, and it is evident that
the good humor of the city will not be
restored until the last citizen has had
his shakes.
There is a disposition among the suf-
ferers and those who have had 1t TO
want to inflict upon others there tales
of woe, and on the street corners, in
the public buildings, the stores, and
everywhere that people meet, one can
hear gloomy tales of aching bones.
nauseated stomachs, splitting heads,
disordered livers, lapsed memories, and
abnormal tempers. All want to tell
their tales, but no one wants to listen.
'Tis a tale that has grown old with
many repeatings, but the victim never
seems to realize the fact. To hear him
tell 1t he is the only one who has had a
real bad case. Others get only slight
touches of the grip.
There are those who scoff at the grip
There is no such disease, they say
People get bad colds and imagine the
rest. That is their song. But If there Is
anything that the grip delights in it is
to get hold of one of these scoffing
agnostics. 1t will rack him as Prone
theus was tortured on the mountain
side. All the ordinary sufferings will
be showered upon him, with numerous
extra twists of the spine to cure him of
his skepticism. Doubts are chased
away like mists before the modern
Horoscope, and the doubter is lucky
If he gets through it without attempt
ing suicide or trying to whip his wife,
which, in these days of Amazonian su-
premacy is equivalent to the same
thing.
Physicians report tendency to pneu-
monia in great many cases. but as
rule the disease responds to treat
ment without any serious complications
and 1t is expected TO abate when there
is no more material for it to work
upon.

MANILA. May 10.-Captain Barrows ap-
peared before the military commission to-

This testimony showed that he exhibited
criminal neglect and ignorance of the rou-

He denied that he had profited any by
the transactions and explained that he
was implicated as an unsuspecting go
between. His testimony contradicted that
of Harold NJ. Pitt. manager of Evans &
Co, Government contractors, that the
bacon sent by Lieutenant Boyer to Pitt
was simply a deposit as security for a
loan. Captain Barrows said Pitt intended
to sell the bacon. Barrow's case was lit

Lieutenant Boyer has now been placed
in confinement and this leads to the be-

AN EXTRA SESSION CALLED.
Appropriation BiIis Not Even Intro
duced in Hnwairs Legislature.

HONOLULU, May 4-Cvia San Fran
cisco. May 10.-The Territorial Legisla-
ture has adjourned after a fruitless ses-
sion. No attempt was made even to in
troduce appropriation bills. Governor
Dole has accordingly called an extra ses-
sion for May to consider only appro-
priations.
Twenty acts We're passed and approved
by the Governor, and one was vetoed by
him. but passed over his veto. OF new
laws the only important one provides for
an Income tax of per cent on all incomes
over 81 .010 year.
The bill appropriating $25O0o0 for Queen
Liliuokalani failed to become a law be-
cause the Governor did not sign 1t. Home
Rule members, just before adjournment
made strong efforts to induce the Gov
ernor to extend the session, but he re-
fused. In revenge they are now prepar-
ing an engrossed resolution asking Presi-
dent Mckinley to remove Governor Dole.
Native members of the Legislature
showed great antipathy to the whites
during the session and no measure
proposed by white members passed both
houses. All appointments that the ma
tives urged on the Governor were either
of Hawaiians or half-breeds.

on her last trip down. but the flames were

The fire was discovered when the vessel
was some miles out In the open lake, and
while efforts were made to fight the
flames. the vessel was put at full speed
for the entrance of the ship canal. As the
fire gained the mastery rapidly II was
seen that the only hope wac in beach

When nearly a mile from the beach the
passengers and crew were forced to take
to the water. Among the passengers were
