CLEMENCEAU's CAREER.
French Premier Practiced Medicine
In New York.

Probably few Americans who have
read of the rise of the French Pre-
mier are acquainted with the fact
that he Is almost half an American
citizen, and that had the Franco
Prussian war never occurred or been
postponed for year or two he might
now be a prominent american legis-
lator, or, at least, thriving Amer,-
can physician.
DR.. Clemenceau. who Is in his
sixty-sixth year. comes from an old
Huguenot family of the Vendee.
Like Voltaire, another Vendean, NJ.
Clemenceau writes direct eighteenth
century French with aggressive bril-
llancy and originality and with per-
spicacity which is the delight OF crit
les. Like Voltaire, he was brought
up on the Greek and Latin classics,
and at an early age turned his atten-
ton to science. He studied medicine
with distinction at the Nantes and
Paris hospitals, and was inferno at

SANTOS-DUMONT'6 AEROPLANE.
Description Of the Bird Of Prey
Which Won the Archdeacon Cup.

Santos-Dumont's aeroplane, which
has been named Bird Of Prey, had q
successful trial and won the Arch
deacon cup, offered for the first aero
plane that sailed through the air a
distance Of twenty-five meters. about
eighty-two feet, says the New York
Sun. In trial in Paris the Bird Of
Prey ran along the ground for about
one hundred yards and then Santos
Dumont elevated 1t about nine feet
above the earth and succeeded in
sending 1t about 175 feet. The
judges, however, did not agree on
this distance, but did agree that 1t
had gone more than the eighty-two
feet and decided to give Santos-Du-
mont the prize.
Santos-Dumont gave another
demonstration OF the success of his
airship at Neuilly and this time
tried for the Deutsch- -Archdeacon
prize of $4,000. This was offered
for a ship heavier than air that
would travel 1900 feet away from
the start, turn and go back to the
place of start
In twenty-one seconds the Bird of
Prey flew $50 feet at height Of
about ten feet from the ground. A
big crowd was watching the trial,
and as the ships went over the heads

each. At the age of twenty-five he
wrote a still valuable work on "Anat-
omic Conceptions and General
Physiology" and translated John
Stuart Mills "Auguste Comte and
Positivism." In the later sixties he
was one of the most formidable op-
ponents to the empire among the
'intellectuels' of the Paris Quarter
This antagonism was attended with
a penalty He was invited to leave
the country.
In 1868 or 1869 he reached New
York, his sole possession being very
fine collection of surgical instru-
ments. At one time he decided to
enter the career of practicing ply
sician in New York, and, as 1t was,
there then being no regents exami-
nation to pass, he actually laid the
foundations of n substantial practice
In the French colony south Of Wash
ington square. He also registered his
intention to become an American
citizen.
The Frarco-Prussian war and, In
It's midst, the fall of the empire,
caused him to return to rearrange
his plans. Lacking the money to re-
turn to France, says the New York
Times, he would have borrowed
some on his surgical instruments
from New York friend, himself an
eminent physician, had that friend
not freely offered the money without
security.
DR.. Clemenceau made his debut In
the Chambers in 1876, where his
lucidness of speech and conference OF
theme, his closeness of argument,
and .his Inc irony, at once won him
distinction. The papers Of that day,
even those antagonistic to him, de-
scribed him as a relief to the Cicer-

Coast being August Is.
There have of. late been discovered
many cases of plague in San Francisco
and the presence of one case aboard
the Sierra naturally inspired the ut
most caution in the action of the Fed
eral quarantine authorities here. The
Sierra will be fumigated before she Is
moved over to her own wharf. the
Oceanic, and her 1400 tons of general
freight will probably also undergo fu>
migation. The second cabin and steer
age passengers will probably be allow
ed ashore today, after their clothing
and baggage have been fumigated. DR..
Ramus stated last night that after
fumigation of the ship and crew the
vessel would be allowed to move to
her own dock, some time this after
noon.
There were some anxious ones on
the wharf when it was known that
plague was aboard. for they imagined
the possibility Of one Of their friends
being the victim. The coal-passer who
is afflicted with the malady does not
appear to be suffering acutely as vet.
He was troubled with a high fever and
the sweilings peculiar to plague.
Some of those who were expecting
friends aboard the Sierra went out to
her in the steamer Cummins. The
Cummins is allowed to carry only q
certain number of passengers and the
two trips she made were with full
loads.
All told. the Sierra brought nearly
200 passengers, over ITO coming in the
cabin. She was late on account Of
heavy weather the first few days out,
and her bottom Is rather foul. She
has been lying up in San Francisco
and has not been on the ways since
she was here last. She is taking the
place Of the Alameda, which is now
being repaired and overhauled gener-
ally at San Francisco.
There was naturally a great deal of
disappointment for Honolulu folks in
the quarantining OF the Oceanic boat,
but the crowd behaved as patiently as
could be expected under the circum-

JAPANESE RICE TO
COME FUMIGATED

All japanese rice hereafter imported
from Japan will be fumigated before
it is shipped. A large quantity of rice
recently received here from Japan was
found to contain dangerous insect,
which would be disastrous to the rice
industry of Hawaii if it should be al
lowed to get in here. 1t was fumigated
here at considerable expense to the i'm
porters, as well as the necessity for
fumigation here being a menace to a
local industry.
Mr.. Yonekura, the president of the
Japanese Merchants Association, re-
Gently went to Japan, and while there
was commissioned by the Association to
make arrangements by which all rice
shipped from there here should be fu-
migated before it was shipped. This
he did, and has SO reported to the
local japanese importers.
Mr.. Yonekura returned from Japan
by the Hongkong Maru. AS testimo-
nial of the appreciation in which he and
his services are held he will be the

to wait for the passengers to come
ashore in the Cummins and at each
arrival Of the little island steamer
there was almost as large a crowd as
If the Sierra herself had pulled along

quarantine wharf the Sierra lay. IL
Illuminated like some great hotel estab-
lished on the reef, with her passen-
gers lining the rail waiting for the
warning toot of the Cummins whistle
to announce her coming to take them

cranky about their baggage, bothering
the crew of the Cummins to find II for
them before the wharf was reached,
but. for the most part, everybody was
possessed Of that good humor so char

which makes light OF so many difficuI-

passengers. after she had descended

as to when the passengers were likely

The island steamer J. A. Cummins,
Captain Searle, which had but just ar
rived from windward Oahu with sugar,
was discharged as quickly as possible,
extra men being put on the job, and
she was requisitioned to take the cabin
passengers from the Sierra to the Oce-

her boat on the port side so as to

of cabin passengers about $3.50 o'clock.
The Sierra's gangway was a difficult
proposition to negotiate with the Cum

on the upper deck of the smaller boat.
At this angle passengers had to walk
on the edges Of the steps and found the

I'VE CO." said Governor Frear yes
terday, ito acquaint Mr.. Mott-Smith
with the Kapaa and adjacent lands,
the lands that are involved in the
present consideration, and to enable
me to secure some information which
I did not have time to secure when
I was there before.
''It is proposed now to exchange
government land north OF Kapaa for
Makee sugar land south of Kapaa, and
If the exchange is made then to plan
a system of water supply and irriga-
tion for the whole area of government
owned land by which all portions of
the land shall have an equitable, and
if possible a sufficient, supply of wa
ter to be paid for at a reasonable
rate, whether the land Is used for
cane or for anything else.
''If we are able to agree on the gen.
eral provisions of an exchange and
water system, then the details will be
worked out here. One OF the import
ant details will of course be an ap-
praisement of the lands to be exchang-
ed. The question of areas, of the quail
ity of the soil and of the water sup
ply will of course enter into this ques-
ton which is primarily one OF values.

MORE PAY FOR JUDGES.

The attention of the association was
drawn by Chairman Smith to the resolu-
tion of the Bar Association that the
salaries of the three Circuit Judges of
the First Circuit should be raised from
$4,000 year to $4,000, at which figure
they had been prior to the passage
of the Organic Act. AS the extra pay,
, if granted, will come out of the nation
al and not the territorial treasury, the
members cheerfully endorsed the Bar
Association request.
ALL FAVOR DIRECT STEAMER.
The chairman then brought up the
matter of the direct steamer of the
American-Hawaiian line between Sa-
lima Cruz and Honolulu, to stop which
the Sugar Factors and the Chamber of
Commerce have taken steps. This was
matter in which many of the men,
bers had something to say, some of the
| remarks of the various speakers being
quoted above.
None of the members favored a sus-
pension of the direct service, all who
had imported goods by the Tehuantepec
route being satisfied and finding it much
quicker, cheaper and more satisfactory
than by the transcontinental railroads
and steamships from San Francisco.
One of the speakers referred to the last
shipment he had received by the Ala
media, sixteen packages coming from
sixteen consignors and every one having
been tampered with en- route. Another
shipment had been rif1ed to the extent
of thousand dollars, and in every case
the Oceanic company shifted the claims
to the railroads and the railroads shift
ed it back to the steamship company,
and redress could be had from neither.
Referring to the difficulty of getting
freight within reasonable time by
way of the transcontinental railroads,
it was stated that three months was
the ordinary time from New York,
while by the Americana Hawaiian line
goods had been delivered in thirty
seven days.
Another speaker suggested that un-
less the Honolulu merchants had looked
far enough ahead for the delivery of
their Christmas orders good many of
them were going to be disappointed by
their holiday goods arriving here some
time next year.
Throughout the whole debate there
was good deal of bitterness exhibited
by the members, who felt that they had
been disregarded and hurt by the re-
quest of other commercial organizations
for the cutting out of the direct Ameri-
can-Hawaiian service.

and was ordered into quarantine. Her
cabin passengers and the mail were
landed last night.
Several hours later than expected,
the Sierra was sighted off Waimanalo
about o'clock and, to the great sur
prise of the hundreds who had gather
