One hundred and sixty five days,
five and a half months, have passed
since the American ship Fort George,
Captain Fullerton, sailed from New
York for Honolulu, and considerable
anxiety is felt for her here.
This anxiety is increased in view
of the recent reports of the unusual
prevalence of icebergs off Cape Horn,
and there are those who fear that the
good ship has come into sudden con-
tact with one of these great, largely
submerged ice hills and has gone
down with all hands.
The terrible mystery of last years
lost ships, bound round the Horn,
does not as may be imagined, decrease

HARMONY
SESSION

Two more or less important items of
business were dispatched by unani-
nous votes at the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors held this after
noon.
Mayor Fern presided, with Private
and Supervisors AHA, Aylett Kane,
Logan, Mcclellan and Quinn were
present.
A report of the special committee
on the lease of the upper floor of
the Mcintyre building, signed by Lo-
gan and Mcclellan, was presented
which recommended the passage of a
resolution authorizing the Clerk to
execute lease for two years with
the privilege of sub-letting any spare
rooms.
Mcclellan presented the resolution
and it was unanimously adopted.
City Attorney Cathcart sent in a
letter covering a resolution to grant
to the United States government Il
right of way over Saratoga street for
the building and operating of an elec-
trio railway to connect the Waikiki
forts with the Rapid Transit system.
Mr.. Cathcart said in the letter:
Il would respectfully recommend its
passage, and would say that the reso-
luton will operate merely as a per-
nit or license at the most, for
doubt whether the City and County
of Honolulu has the power to grant
franchises of any kind"
Quinn presented the resolution with
motion for it's adoption, which car
ried unanimously on roll cal.
The Board adjourned until 10 O'Clock
| tomorrow.

ROBINSON
DISSENTING

The Supreme Court this morning
handed down a decision in the case of
II. G. Middleditch, trustee in bank
ruptcy VS.. J. w. Cathcart ct al, holding
that an appeal allowed from an order
overruling a demurrer must be taken
by filing a notice of it within five days
after the order.
The matter came up on a motion by
the plaintiff to docket the case and
dismiss the defendants appeal from an
Dec. 81, overruling the defendants de-
murrer, from which the judge, Decem-
ber 2S, filed an order that the de-
PENDANTS be allowed an inteTlocutory
appeal to the supreme court" On De-
cember 20 the defendants filed a no
tice of this appeal with bond for
costs to accrue, reciting that they had
paid accrued costs. The motion was
was not fled within five days after
December 21 when the order overruling
the demurrer was filed.
The court holds that the defendants
should have obtained an allowance OF
the appeal in time for them to take
it within five days from the order, by
filing their notice that they did so.
The appeal is dismissed, Circuit Judge
Robinson, sitting with Chief Justice
Hartwell and Justice Wilder, dissent

JAP PANESE ROAST
JAPANESE EDITORS

At a mass meeting of Japanese
labor agitators held last night at the
corner of King street and Kalakaua
avenue there were some quite violent
expressions of views, and after the
meeting, it is reported, there were
threats to "do up" Editor Sheba of the
Hawaii Shinpo, on account Of his at
titude. 1t is said that as far as the
local fight is concerned, the oppon-
ents of the agitation for a general
raise in wages have won out and the
agitators are consequently in a resent
full frame Of mind towards Sheba and
others who opposed them. Some Of
those who made threats may be put
under bonds to keep the peace. Sheba
is investigating.
The speeches at the meeting last
night were quite violent Sheba was
called "spy' and a dog" and XII

speaker said there was tremendous

portion of the tenants were at home
only in the evening, they being of a
sober, industrious and decent class.
Artisans and even bank clerks room

that there was no saloon in the section
but one opposite it was corrected by
Territorial Treasurer Campbell, who
stated that there was a saloon in the
Star block on Fort street.
Theodore Richards, on remarks be-
ing called for, stated that having been
unable to hear the reports he could
not discuss them but would relate
some of his experience as a tenement
landlord. The situation came home to
him on that afternoon in January,
1900, when seven thousand people
were made homeless With the per-
mission of the Government two camps
were constructed in town, one near
Levers & Cookies lumber yard and the
other on Vineyard street. They had
four or five hundred people dumped on

Mr.. Venhuizen said the investigation

Honolulu tenements were graphical
ly described by several investigators
at the meeting of the social section of
the Mems League at Central Union
church parlors last night. Rev. j. A.
Rath, superintendent of the Palama
Settlement and chairman of the sec
tion, presided He lost no time in
preliminaries, but on taking the chair
called for reports from the commit
tees appointed to investigate the tene-
ment districts of this city.
DR.. Pottie tod Of his explorations
and discoveries in the Kakaako dis
trict. At the outset he said there
were two elements trying to improve
the social conditions in Kakaako and
two elements working against the i'm
provement and welfare of the district
and its inhabitants. The Bishop Es-
tate with its reclamation enterprise
and the Kakaako Mission were the
agencies for good, and the saloons and
insanitary conditions the elements
producing degradation. DR.. Pottie some
what minutely described the two lar
gest tenement blocks, the All Leong
and the Magoon with little more and
a little less than hundred rooms res
pectively. They were inhabited by a
most heterogeneous collection of ma
tionalities and the lack of privacy IN
such herding of humanity was con-
ducive, with the influence of the near
by saloons, to disorder and vice of all
kinds. In its more spacious rooms
and better internal construction the
Magoon was much superior to the All
Leong tenement. Neither of them had
adequate sanitary conveniences the
bathing facilities being especially
scant.
In the course of his remarks Dr.
Pottie who is a Colonial man COM
mended the Australian system of re-
sumption blocks. These are areas OF
several acres with dwellings on all
sides the interior space being occu-
pied by church, schoolhouse, play
ground, etc. The establishment is un-
der government control.
F. G. Krauss, the agricultural ex.
pert, described the tenement section
bounded by Fort Nuuanu, Vineyard
and Beretania streets. Tenement and
lodging houses in this district were oi
two classes, one being old residences
adapted to accommodate three or more
families-this being the accepted
definition OF a tenement-and the 9th
er class being houses constructed with
view to occupancy as tenements. AS
a rule the old buildings were dilapid,
ated. There were comparatively few
