the service for the present
THE suggestion above referred to-
as offered by the Sugar Factors Co.,
Ltd, in this connection, was to SUBJ
stitute a triangular service between
Salina Cruz, San Francisco and Homo.
lulu for the present direct service, to
avoid, as far as possible any danger
of the Introduction of yellow fever or
other South American contagious
diseases here into this Territory, the
steamers fumigating at one of the
Coast ports in California.
1T might be stated also that such
action and suggestion on the part of
the Sugar Factors Co., Ltd, in this
connection, received the hearty APP
prevail and acquiescence of DR.. L. f.
Golfer, the officer in charge of the U.
S. Marine Hospital Service here at this
port, in SO far as the elimination of
all danger of the Introduction of con-
tagious diseases was concerned, al
though it should be understood that
there was no initiative action taken in
this connection by DR.. Cofer.
I'VE further find that it is proposed
by the Observation-Disclosures Steamship
Co. next year to inaugurate a TRAN
gular service between Salina Cruz and
Coast ports as far as San Francisco,
and Honolulu, operating in this SER
vice six steamers sailing from twelve
to fifteen days apart. On this basis,
it is expected that a round trip OF
one of these steamers, under ordinary
conditions, will consume from seventy
two to ninety days, making the ser
vice between New York and Honolulu
about sixty days, with steamer every
twelve to fifteen days; while from
twenty to twenty-five days additional
time will be consumed in obtaining
shipments from New York dI-
rect to Honolulu. AS compared with
the direct service between Honolulu
and Salina Cruz, it will be observed
that the service will be more fire.
quent, which should be an advantage
more than offsetting the Disadvantages
resulting from the withdrawal of the
present direct service.
'tAs stated above. the matter is still
under consideration by the American
Steamship Co, and no def
mite decision has as yet been arrived at
in this connection, so far as your COM
mittee is able to ascertain. Respect

WANT NO SPECIAL DELEGATE.
In renewing the contract between |

1T has been suggested that this or

ADVERTISE FOR POINTERS.
Mr.. McInerny reported on behalf of
ne committee appointed to look into
ne matter of tax revision that the
Dmmittee was at a loss, not knowing
hat to report or what to suggest to
lie tax revision committee. A draft
i'll had been sent in by Mr.. Wake
