Erect Plant.

Fuel gas for Honolulu residences
seems to have attracted the attention
of second company to supply the
same, as an agent has recently been
canvassing the residence district and
inquiring whether householders would
care to use it. The agent states that
no effort will be made to supply gas for
Illuminating purposes, but only for the
kitchen and as power for machinery.
He states that it is proposed to lay
mains under the principal streets of
the city.
w. w. Dimond, who was one of
number Of capitalists behind House
Bill SO presented to the last legislature
for a franchise to lay gas mains in
Honolulu to supply fuel gas, said yes
terday that no one connected with his
company, which is known in the Bill
as the Hawaiian Fuel Gas Company,
has been canyassing the city to his
knowledge. He is of the opinion that
some one else must be in the field.

the next legislature pass the BILL" said
Mr.. Dimond. Unfortunately the bill
technicality, but we are just as ready
now to go ahead with the scheme as we
were then, The moment we get a
franchise we will provide capital
to erect the plant, lay the mains and
supply householders with fuel for their
gas ranges. We already know the de-

MAY OFFER TO MEDIATE.
Minister Bowen Will Do What He Can
to Prevent a Crisis.

~ a ~
Washington, Dec. 1O-Minister Bow
en-. at Caracas, has cabled the state
department confirmation of the Asso-
ciated Press report that the British
minister and the German charge d'af-
faires withdrew from Caracas Monday
after presenting an u1timatum.
Before they left these officials re-
quested Mr.. Bowen to take, charge of
the interests of their countries in Ven-
ezuela. This request will be granted,
as there is no warrant for a declina.
tion in such cases, ard the United
States legation at Caracas will extend
protection to British and German sub
jects when called upon until a normal
state of affairs shall be restored.
This is not likely to be the end of
Minister Bowen's activities for, from
the tenor of some of the communica-
tions he has made to the department,
it is inferred that, if he sees an op-
mediator between President Castro
and the British and German represen-
tatives, he will promptly avail himself
of that opportunity. The state de-
partment is not encouraging him in
this attitude, preferring to avoid all
entanglements, but being on the spot
and willing to do what he can to pre-
vent crisis Mr. Bowen may be al
lowed some measure of discretionary
power.
The state department is perfectly
aware of the intentions of the Brit
ish and German government, having
been sounded in advance, and it sees
no reason to interfere at this stage if
at all

time, when person dies. the body may
be turned over to an undertaken and
buried without the formality or requir-
ing of a certificate of death from the
physician in charge. In other states.
before intel1ment may be made, a,
death certificate. showing the cause
and manner of death must be issued to.
the undertaken in charge and this in a.
great measure eliminates the possibil-.
ity of the burial of persons dying I'M
der suspicious circumstan before.
investigation has been made by rhe
pltoper authorities. The only law ID
vogue in this state in regard to death
permits relates to cases where bodies,
are shipped on railroads, where certi-
fication is necessary from the physi-
clan in charge at the time of death as
to whether the person deceased died
of infectious diseases or not In the
former case, shipment is not allowed.
State Health Officer Dr. Healy of Grand
Forks is expected in this city shortly
to discuss the matter with the local
authorities, when it is probable that.
arrangements will be made to have a
law passed at the coming session of

Explosion.
Fortunately the Gas in the Mine Was
Not 1gnited BY the Explosion

I Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec 1O.-Four
men were killed and ten injured, three
probably fatally, by the explosion of
box of dynamite in No. 5 mine of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal COM
pany at South Wilkesbarre. The dead
are: Robert Humblebee, carpenter,
aged fifty-fve; Arthur Jones, laborer,
aged twenty eight; Matthew Phillips,
miner, aged thirty-five, and James Nc
Glynn, laborer, aged thirty-fve.
The men had lowered into the shaft,
which is ITO feet deep, box of dyna-
mite weighing fifty pounds. When the
bottom of the shaft was reached Phil
lips took the box off the carriage. It
slipped from his hands and fell to the
ground. The concussion exploded the
dynamite, and the twenty men who
were in the immediate vicinity getting
their tools in readiness to go to their
respective chambers were hurled. in
all directions. The woodwork at the
bottom of the shaft was also torn and
scattered about. AS soon as possible
word was sent to the surface and a
rescuing party was sent down.
+ The mine has the reputation of be-
ing the most gaseous in the entire re-
gion and at first it was reported that
the gas had exploded, that a score Of
miners had been killed outright. For
tunately, however, the gas did not ex-
plode. The dead and injured were
brought to the surface as soon as pos
sible. Phillips was dnangled almost
beyond recognition. McGlynn had his
arms torn off. The injured were
wrapped in blankets and sent to their
homes. .a-I.l 80 - -E..-

though Secretary Hay brought to the
attention of the president and other

Secretary Wilson explained to the
cabinet what his department was do.
ing to stamp out the foot and mouth
disease which is prevalent particularly
in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Owing to the limited funds at the dis
posal OF the agricultural department
It was deemed wise that Secretary
Wilson should go before the commit
tees OF congress and ask for special
appropriation to be made available i'm
mediately with which to stamp out the
disease A considerable sum would be
necessary because agents of the de-
partment would be obliged to kill ami
mails affected with the disease wher-
ever found. -
