The growing Importance Of the Tehu-
antepec National Railway as an outlet
from the Atlantic to the Pacific may be
seen from the large number Of steam
ships entering the two ports of Puerto
Mexico and Salina Cruz
At present the lines touching Puerto
Mexico are the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company, the Hamburg
American line, Royal Mail Steam Pack
ct Company. Harrison line, Leyland
line. Cuban line, all to foreign ports,
and the Compania Mexicana de Naviga-
zion, which is coast line 1t is ex.
pected that shortly the steamers of the
Compagnie Generate TransatIantique
and the Compania Transatlantica de
Barcelona viii also touch at Puerto
Mexico. In fact. arrangements are al
most concluded for this new service.
The lines touching Salina Cruz are
the American Hawaiian line to San
Diego (for Los Angeles), San Franchises,
Puget Sound and the Hawaiian Islands;
the Kosmos line TO Puget Sound ports,
Central and South American ports; the
Canadian Mexican Pacific line TO Vic
toria and Vancouver, B. c.; the Com
pania Naviera del Paeifco for Mexican
west coast ports and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company to Central Amer
lean ports.

nection for the Orient within the near
future

according to the same street gossip,
there is talk of what the Mayor intends
to do in the way of ousting some of
the heads of departments, men who are
giving admirable and satisfactory ser
vice to the public, and substituting
Democrats in their places. 1t is prob
able that the gossip is not justified in
either case, but it indicates what eau
very easily happen.
Honolulu is on the verge of the great.
est prosperity in its history, and the
greatest calamity that could happen
would be to have a governing body too
occupied with petty political squab-
biings to take advantage of the great
opportunities that viii be offered for
advancing the eity's interests.

- drew up the law to provide this,
explained Mr. Aehi, $50 that the work
ers in the various departments would
be directly responsible to the elected
head of the department and loyal to
him. Otherwise there would be great
confusion in the departments if the
head of it had not the power of APP
pointment and dismissal.
''The Mayor has the appointment of
all other city officers, which in this ease
will include the road supervisor, the
chief of the fire department, the head
of the garbage department, the super
intendent of electric lights, and the
county engineer. All these appoint
ments must be approved by majority
of the Supervisors.
at may be. that some other city en-
ployes may be brought in under the
head of officers The law is left in
definite on that point, and will have to
be ruled on, probably by the Super
visors themselves They may pass
rule, for instance, that all employees in
receipt of a certain salary shall be
deemed to be officers of the municipal

hands of the road supervisor and placed
in the hands of the Mayor and Super
visors, the first to nominate and the
second to endorse.
The veto power of the Mayor is
almost the same as that of the Gov
ernor. 1t is his right to veto any ordi-
nance passed or to veto any item in
any appropriation. To override the
veto requires a fve-sevenths vote of
the Board.
'|The Mayor presides over all meet
ings of the Board, but has no vote. !"
In view of this it win be seen that
there are going to be some fine chances
for mix-ups in the municipal govern
ment unless the Mayor and Supervisors
come together on some policy Of com
promise and stick to it throughout the
two wears. With the Mayor and one
Supervisor to be run after by the Dem
oeratic job-chasers and anxious to make
good with the party, and the six Re
publican Supervisors, the majority on

Republican trough feeders and equally

leading to friction viii result in dead

Owing TO the makeup of the munich

Rate War Hurts.

OTTAWA, Ontario, November T.
Shipping companies doing business on
the Pacific ocean between the South
American continent and the Far East
are feeling the beginning of what may
be a serious conflict of interests with
the Japanese mercantile marine.
According to adviees received here
from the West, the first clash in rate
war has involved the Canadian Pacific
Company and the japanese Nippon Yu-
sen Kaisha steamship line. The latter
is stated to be the largest and the most
powerful line, financially, that is oper-
ating on the Pacific, and has already
started to cut rates numerically.
It would appear that the japanese
want to drive their competitors from
the Pacific and then handle the freights
for the Atlantic coast, which now go
to the transcontinental railways. with

York and Yokohama by way of the

Human Cases of Plague.

1.-THE only human eases in these
Islands coming to our knowledge dur
ing the past year were the two re-
ferred to at Hilo. This we consider a
most gratifying record.
- We see from the above that most
of the data we have obtained from the
regular work of plague investigation
has been of a negative character. Yet
its weekly publication in the Public
Health Report has no doubt inspired
confidence among public health officials
and quarantine officers of other ports,
and in that way has been distinct
benefit to the commerce of these
Islands.

TO these eases, but none was discover
ed. No systematic examination has
been made of the rats in Hilo. How
ever, specimens are received from there
at irregular intervals, examined and re-
ported on. Sanitary Inspector Bowman
continues to press as vigorous an anti
rat campaign as his funds permit by
the use of poison.
1t viii be seen from the above that
no plague-infected rat has been discov-
cred in Oahu during the past year, and
I may add that no plague-infected rat
has been found in Honolulu proper
