sumably from lodged and smoldering
spark. Postmaster Ferguson saved
himself by making an exit in his night

HONOLULU, July II, via San Fran
cisco, July 24.-All shipping quarantine
restrictions have been lifted here, the
city having been absolutely free from
any case of plague for month. Up to
the lifting of the quarantine the federal
authorities imposed restrictions on the
boarding of through vessels and re-
quired fumigation of cargoes.
The news published throughout the
United States of the successful opening
of the Kohala ditch as an irrigation
scheme has resulted in numerous in
quiries being sent to the government
here by persons who would like to take
up lands which can be profitably cul-
tivated. In consequence the governor
and land commissioner are being urged
to make plans for opening various fer
tile tracts for settlement by American

paper. About a week after a ferocious

walked into MuTray's Office and remarked
he was looking for the correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. He used
language in connection with his inquiry
that was really shocking. As soon as Muir
ray had responded that, he was the indI-

paragraph and asked, with a string of
oaths: Did you send that paragraph?
Murray looked at it and found 1t was a
simple little line like this: James G.

registered at the National
