that the steamer would come to Homo
lulu direct. On being Informed on
Monday. that the Nebraskan was dis
charging freight at the Maui port, DR..
Golfer called ON Agent Morse and in
sisted that an effort be made to have
unloading operations suspended and the
steamer proceed to Honolulu for fumi-
cation. The wireless was not working
$50 no communication with Kahului
could be, had till yesterday morning
when orders to suspend unloading were
sent. On receipt of the message the
Kahului agents wired to Alexander &
Baldwin, the chief consignees, for an
explanation. The upshot was that the
vessel sailed for Honolulu with a por-
ton of her Kahului freight on board.
The vessel will be quarantined here for
five days against possible cases of yell
low fever aboard. Had the health
authorities been notified that the Ne
braskan was going to Kahului, prepara-
tions would have been made to fumi-
gate her there and much loss of time
would have been saved. The steamer
remained outside last night.

SENATOR'S ASSIGNMENTS.

La Toilette and Stephenson Have Only
Fair Luck in Places on Committees.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
Wisconsin senators had only fair
luck in the matter of committee as
siguments announced today. Not
one of the important places held by
Mr.. Spooner was given to either
Senator La Toilette or Senator
Stephenson. Mr.. Spooner is sue
ceeded as chairman of the COM
mittee on rules by Senator Knox of
Pennsylvania, while Senator Fulton
of Oregon gets the place on the
judiciary committee formerly held
by the Wisconsin man. The Spooner
vacancy on the finance committee
probably the most important senate
committees given to Senator
Hopkins of Illinois and Senator
Carter of Montana is named as Mr..
Spooner's successor on the COM
mittee on foreign relations.
For the purpose of giving chair
manships to the new republican
senators it was necessary to create
four new committees known as Sc
lect committees. Senator Stephen
son is given the craftsmanship of
one of these new committees, viz. :
expenditures IN the department. of
agriculture. Mr.. Stephenson was
assigned also to the following com
mittees. Claims, enrolled bills,
five civilized tribes, Pacific railroads
and revolutionary claims.
Senator La Toilette has the same
committees and the same chairman
ship that he hal last year. By
retiring from the claims committee
he was enabled TO get place on the
committee on military affairs, which
is regarded SIS a desirable assign
ment.
The committee assignments were
announced by the committee on
committees at caucus of republi.
can senators, the report being
presented by Senator Hale.
