por of fires which have been caused
nv lightning in Maine during the year
which is now drawing to close IS
large, much larger than usual, anu
with one exception is the largest that
has occurred during any year since the
enactment Of the law in 1887 which re-
oi.ired both the insurance companies

each case to the commissioner within IL
s-ecifieG time. Previous to the enact
yaent Of the law the municipal officers
reporred once in six months.
The figures given out by the COM
missioner show that the number of fires
which have been caused by lightning
from the beginning of the year TO date
Is 2GS. The estimated value Of prop
erty to which such losses occurred IS
s7S5. 1872, and the estimated damage to
property is $l0S,I93 The report of the
commissioner for the year 1906 showed
that the number of fires from lightning
was 2333, the estimated value of property
affected was $32l ,126. and the estimated

Of brisk blaze Monday forenoon
which but for it's early discovery
might have proved source Of con-
siderable damage to that structure.
The fire caught between the planking
on the car track about half way across
the bridge and got quite a start before
it was discovered. a chemical eX-

MIGRATION
DIFFICULT PROBLEM

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Under
the regulation governing the entrance
into this country of Japanese laborers,
there is no way of preventing the
Japanese from Honolulu transshipping
at San Francisco for British Columbia.
1t is evident from inquiries that
have been made by officials Of this
Government that the Japanese, to
whom the Japanese Government issues
passports to Mexico or to the Ha-
waiian Islands, have no intention of
remaining there. Their destination, as
the laborers themselves have admitted
on cross-examination, is the United
States. Recently several hundred Japa-
nese laborers were Intercepted in
Mexico as to their intentions. Every
one of them said he expected sooner or
later to reach this country. Some of
them were in serious financial straits.
They were awaiting an opportunity to
get across the border into this coun-
try. The same is true of Japanese who
are going to British Columbia. There
is no work for them down there, and
they expect to get into the United
States as soon as possible.
Commissioner Sargent of the Bureau
of immigration declines to discuss the
subject, but it is known that Secretary
Straus of the Department of Com
merce and Labor is keeping in close
touch with the situation. lie, too, is
reticent. Trouble is being experienced
in handling the question, however,
in relation to the Japa-
nese immigrants who are arriving in
Mexico. 1t is practically impossible to
prevent them from being struggled
across the border, and the Government
las no means of identifying them after
hey reach this country. The question
8 likely to become more serious in the
rear future.

IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE AFTER
MANY WEARY WEEKS AT SEA
Heliopolis Brings Clean
and Contented Lot
of Spaniards.

The immigrant ship Heliopolis arriv-
ed off port Mt $3.50 p. IN. yesterday
and anchored outside. She brought
22S7 Spanish immigrants from Malaga.
The voyage took AZ days, which is con-
sidered very good time.
There are 500 children in the party.
800 of which are infants. On the
voyage there were 10 deaths and 12
births. Three who died were women
and the rest young children.
AS soon as the Heliopolis anchored.
the quarantine and immigration Off
cials, customs officers, Secretary At
kinson and Walter Dillingham; went out
to her. Dillingham; took charge of the
steamer in the capacity of executive
| officer of the Territorial Board of I'm
| migration.
The regular quarantine inspection
found all well with the exception of
seven cases of measles and two of
humps The ailing are all babies.
DR.. Mackall and two nurses were
taken out to the steamer and the sick
folks and their families were taken to
Quarantine island.
The Heliopolis will dock at Z a. m.
today at the Immigration wharf and
those aboard will then undergo the ex-
animation of the immigration inspec-
tors.
Three stowaways beat their way to
Hawaii.
The steamer is in excellent condition
and those who saw the S. S. Suveric
say that there is no comparison be-
tween the condition of the two ves-
sells and the passengers thereon.
r1c liz,
fine-looking lot OF people and appear
to be clean and good natured. While
naturally anxious to get ashore they
took their enforced detention in good
part, doubtless coming to the conclu-
sion that after AZ days away from
terra firma, day or SO more didn It
matter.
1t is expected that all the immigrants
and their baggage will be clear of the
steamer by this afternoon.
Secretary Atkinson had the follow
ing to say of the visitors last night:
"The people are as clean a looking
lot as l have ever seen.
''Though the ship is not in the
cleanest possible condition, it is not
any worse than might have been ex-
pected after so long voyage with SO
many people on board.
They have had no trouble whatever
on the way out. You may have heard
talk about Spaniards and knives, in
connection with the immigration of
these people, but there was never a
knife shown by anyone during the
whole passage.
"There were twelve births and nine
teen deaths on the voyage. An out
break of measles occurred.

grants when they are landed. None

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. 1t is q feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make US more or
less miserable ill health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
q crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And whs
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
missing from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like q vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
1y be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMP0LE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
ssition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
beasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
.erties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has zach a record of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,

VAN Dimes MISSION
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

d. L. Van Dine, experiment station
entomologist for the Hawaiian Islands,
was passenger on the steamer Ko-
rea. which arrived Friday, and left a
few hours after landing for Washing
ton, ~. c., where he goes to confer
with DR.. l.. o. Howard, chief of the
Bureau of Entomology of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. concerning sever
al problems that have come up in the
chronological affairs of the islands.
one of the most interesting of these
is In regard to the honey produced on
the islands. There is some substance
there that the bees obtain that gives
very high percentage of glucose in
the honey. The government pure-food
law allows only u certain percentage
of glucose, as that substance is one of
the chief adulterants that is common
ly used. While the island honey Is
pure and just as wholesome as that
produced in any part OF the world.
this comparatively large amount of
glucose shows badly In the analysis.
The honey shipment OF the islands will
amount to over 800 tons. this year.
and the producers are greatly inter-
ested in having the law SO modified
In their case as to allow the honey to
come under the pure-food products.
Another problem that the entomolo-
glst has 10 contend with Is small fly.
that In some parts OF the islands Is
almost driving out the cattle industry.
This fly has been abundant for a num-
Der of years. but II has only been of
late that IL has so seriously threatened
the interests of the cattle men.

TWO VET0ES
IN SENATE
sENATE-FIrTY-sIxTH DAY.

The fact that the income of tn,
Territory has been spent, by promise
almost twice over did not deter the
Senate from overriding the Govern
or's veto of the burial-of.the.chiefs
bill. This appropriates the sum OF
twenty thousand dollars for the cree
tion of mausoleum in which will be
placed the remains of the monarchs and
chiefs of old Hawaii. Senator Smith
was the sexton who undertook the dis.
interment of the bill after the veto
had been read and carried the affair
through successfully.
Another bill among the crumbs swept
from the table was that relating to
permission for the County of Maui to
go into debt. This was taken up after
being tabled and passed. 1t may en-
courage the emissary from Hilo who
is supposed to be on his way here for
the purpose of getting similar bill
through for the Island of Hawaii. Presi-
dent Bishop stated unofficially yester-
day that he had been asked by wire
less two days ago if there would be
any use for Hawaii to try and he wired
back negative encouragement. The
Senator from the vicinity of the Mauso-
aeum opposes anything like unwarrant
ed debt.
The bill to provide for the distribu-
ton of the net profits of the Industrial
School and Lahainaluna met defeat in
the Senate by the amendment offered
by Senator Dowsett. 1t changed the
aspect SO greatly that Senator Haysel-
den concluded that it would be better
TO take what they could get under the
present bill than to fly to things they
were not quite sure of. The principal
objection advanced by the Senators yes
terday during the debate was to hav
ing the money distributed by one in
'dividual instead of passing through the
regular governmental channel.
A rather important bill lost was that
which prohibits the use of firearms for
hunting purposes within three miles of
the postoffice. There are a lot of aliens
who shoot in the rice patches by the
side of men who know how to use guns
and the result is not always pleasant
to the people who reside in the neigh
borhood of the rice patches. They COM
plain that it is not safe for them to
walk around their yards or to sit on
their verandas on Sunday on account
of the falling shot. This argument was
yesterday but the bill was
too heavily weighted to move it from
the table.
