Shortly before o'clock the follow
ing message on the vaccination bill was
received from Governor Dole:
To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii:
The bill entitled IAN Act to repeal
sect4o.s 922 and 925, and the second
PARAGRAPH of section 924, part of
chapter SO of the Penal Laws as com
piled in 1897, relating to vaccination"
mas mad my consideration, and l am
unable to approve 1t, and herewith re-
turn The same without my signature.
My objections to the bill are as fol-
lows:
The repeal of the sections referred to
leaves the law in regard to vacclna-
zion without the means of enforce
ment.
While there is a considerable num-
Der of medical men who DOUBT the etti-
Cacy of vaccination, there is no doubt
that the great majority or the profess
sion rely upon 1t as a scientific meth
OF preventing the disease of smallpox;
Notwithstanding this there is a preJu
dice among some people against the
operation which will prevent many
from availing themselves of this pre-
cautionary measure We're there no
penalty attached to a failure to do so.
The Importance of vaccination as a
preventative against smallpox has been
unanimously affirmed by the members
.Of the Hawaiian Medical Society at
recent meeting held for the purpose of
discussing the question raised by the
passage of the bill now under discus
sion.
Placed as we are in the midst of
the Pacific Ocean, port of call from
the Mainland and from ports of China,
Japan and the Australian colonies, we
are constantly exposed to the intro
duction of contagious and infectious
diseases from these ports: for this
reason II is necessary for us to eXer-
else every care, and to take every pre-
caution against the introduction or any
of these diseases into these Islands.
1t is n matter of congratulation that
at the present time we have the as
surance that at least our children and
young people have been subjected to
vaccination, thereby reducing the dan
ger which might arise should small
poX be introduced here.
We should, however, fear for the flu
ture. and prevent the possibility OF a
recurrence OF those terrible disasters
which have visited our country more
particularly In the years 1851 and 1881,
when large numbers Of our native born
succumbed 10 this terrible disease.

Columbia gave the Constitution n good
sound heating yesterday twice around
the Seawanhaka triangular course. On
corrected time the old boat won by Pm.
5s and on elapsed time by I'm. 30s.
But the figures do not represent the
decisivencss of the Columhia's victory.
for as a matter of fact she beat the new
boat twice. The first time around the
triangle of 14ti miles the Columbia gain
ed over five minutes. Then a sniff Of
wind on the short leg across the sound
put the Constitution upon even terms,
when a new race was practically started,
the breeze now coming true again. This
time the Columbia gained over a minute
end half. II was n day of fuky sound
hreczes. but if either boat got any ad-
vantage from the frequent changes in the
wind it was the Constitution. 1t was at
no time Il white cap breeze. and the sea
was smooth, conditions which have here
tofore always favored the Constitution.
The new boat did not seem to have any
of the speed she has shown in light airs.

BlTEFATALT OTHREE
Infected Mosquitoes Caused
D.ath In Havana.
INTERESTING YELLOW FEVER TESTS.
Thus Far This Month Only Two Have
Died From the Disease rs Conn
pared with the August Az
erage of Fifty.

HAVANA, Aug. 2T.-Of the eight per-
sons bitten by infected mosquitoes in con-
nection with the experiments conducted
by the yellow fever board during the last
three weeks three have died. Three 9th
ers who took the fever are expected to
recover One has not developed the dis
ease. The eighth person as vet has not
developed yellow fever, although it is too
early TO say what will happen in that
ease.
Surgeon Major Reed intends to con
tinue the Investigations Major Gorgas,
chief sanitary officer says the idea Of the
yellow fever board was to subject to mos
quito infection as many as would volun-
teer. Sixteen persons had been bitten
and all had recovered. and the theory of
tbe board was that if some hundred OF
more persons could have been bitten with
similar results Il report could have been
published showing how apparently safe
and easy it was to become immune. After
this had been published the entire popula-
ton might have been mmunized. Sc
many cases gave mild results that the i'm
preston was created that the danger was
not SO great as it has turned out to be.
Thus far during August there have beer
two deaths from yellow fever in Havana
as compared with an average of NOR,
than 30 for the month of August durinl
the previous II years. Major Gorgas re
CARDS the experiment in mosquito infec
ton as of immense service to science.
The man who was bitten by an infected
mosquito after inoculati.n with the Sc
rum of DR. Caldas. the Brazilian expert
has developed what seem to be symptoms
of yellow fever. The yellow fever boarC
calls the case Il suspect.

Second Baptist Church of that city.

olence and self-sacrifice might be writ
ten by simply giving the details Of the

eloquent preacher.
But old age comes to the best of men.
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced
age had already begun its insidious raw
ages when it became necessary to find
remedy, if possible, that his days of use
fulness might not be shortened.
An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
digestion, and increase the tone and
vigor of his whole system, was needed
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these indications was found to be Pc
runa. In arecent letter to DIR. Hartman
he states:
"My attention was called some time

troubles by Mr.. Cook, an old reliable
druggist of this city, and take pleasure
