or "Tommy." I
(Rudyard Kipling Revised.)
Dedicated with loyal sympathy to the
kindred ot the brave men who have
fallen In South Africa.
Whon you've read the lay of Kipling on
the "beggar" at the door,
When you'vo heard tho husky, street
cad glvo It mouth;
Wilt you plcaso to think ot Tommy as
deserving something mora
When ho dons his kit and kharkt for
tho South?
Ho may bo "absent-minded;" but ho
won't forget tho fact
That England, is Old England, as ot
yore,
-nil that kith and kin of Drlton, when
he has to do tho Act',
Will bo cared for as a part of Tommy's
store.
Dravo and true men, shoulder arms
today,
Tho federated rank and file, Old Eng
land's prldo and stay.
Each man doing his duty well, with
novcr a halt to say
Who's to caro for wlfo and bairns,
when I'm away.
All that Tommy leaves behind him,
tbat'is worth n grain of salt,
Ho may trust to British honor with
out fear,
For ho knows that absent-mindedness
was never England's fault,
When left In chargo of "things" that
ho holds dear.
Her philanthropy was ready beforo the
street-cad's shout
About the girl that Tommy left be
hind him,
So the wall about tho Workhouso, and
the chattels "up tho spout"
Ho may safely lcavo with Rudyard,
far behind him.
Brave and truo men, shoulder arms
today,
Tho federated rank and flic, Old Eng
land s pride and stay.
Each man doing .lis duty well, with
never a halt to say
Who's to caro for wlfo and bairns,
when I'm away.
When you'vo read the lay of Kipling
to its very last refrain,
When you'vo waded through Its lum
ber to Its rhyme,
Will you kindly put It down to effu
sion of tho brain,
As you note It has a most un-English
chlmo.
Did tho credit of tho Emplro over need
a gutter-song
To spur It Into action at full speed 7
Did Old England ever fall, to pass tho
hat along
For tho chips to help her Tommy In
his need?
Dravo and truo men, shoulder arms
today,
The federated rank and file, Old Eng
land's prldo and stay.
Each man doing his duty well, with
nover a halt to say
Who's to care for wlfo and bairns,
when I'm away.
Wo aro English, and as Englishmen,
we'll sing "uod save the Queen,"
And, "God bless her bravo defen
ders," wo all say,
For the loaf that feeds the nation has a
thick sllco In between.
Which Tommy brought along tho
other day.
Wo will share It with his kindred when
ho takes his long farewell,
Wo will sparo him needless sorrow
by tho way,
And when ho thinks of homo, when
he's fighting In tho "Vaal,"
He shall not be troubled there about
tho "pay."
Bravo and truo men, shoulder arms

obey,
Each mnn doing his best, with novcr

Who's to care for wlfo and bairns
when I'm away.

Koloa's Caso ol Varioloid.
President Wood read at tho meeting
of tho Board yesterday a report from
Dr. Waughop, tho government physi
cian at Koloa, on tho caso ot the nrtlvo
policeman at that place who was
stricken with varioloid somo tlmo ago,
ns exclusively reported In the Bulletin.
Dr. Waughop gives In his report a viry
careful and complcto history of the
caso and, In speaking ot tho probablo
origin ot tho case, has tho following
to say:
"I do not know how tho dlscaso ori
ginated; tho man had been on duty
at tho wharf and met sailors irora tho
Robert Lewcrs, which was loading
there, and Of which there wcro various
rumors of smallpox, measles and chick
enpox having been recently uboard.
l'or a week before ho broko out ho had
been guarding Japanese Immigrants in
quarantine. Possibly It might bavo
becn In somo ot the bundles ot theso
people. But there has been no other
case. Possibly It may havo been re
ceived by mall. It Is frequently Im
possible, ns you aro well iwuro, to
trace tho origin of an outbreak of
smallpox."
The caso Is diagnosed as modified
smallpox or varioloid.
Dr. Wood mado tho following state
ment: "It seems to mo that this case In ad
dition to tho one on Maul coupled with
tho fact that they appeared at tho sumo
tlmo makes It very probablo that tho
diagnosis In each Instanco has been
correct."
They Can't Go.
Chas. Crclghton and A. O. Cnrrea,
two of Honolulu's attorneys, sent In a
petition to the Board of Health yester
day, asking to be allowed to proceed
to Kauai on Tuesday to attend to somo
important matters ot business. Mr.
Lowrey moved that permission bo re
fused. Thcro was no discussion what
ever and when President Wood called
for the vote, every hand was raised In
favor of the motion.
Additional Instructions.
Following aro the latest Instructions
of the Citizens' Sanitary Commltteo on

Identification cards:
"To Inspectors: Largo numbers of

which entitles them to locate In mo

"Plcaso Impress upon each sub-Inspector
that theso tickets must bo tak
en up ns soon as he llnds a holdor of

not done the person holding '.he ticket
holds a perpetual moving permit; so
that there Is no means of locating or
tracing him.
"Also Instruct sub-Inspectors to Is
sue Identification cards to each nerson
from whom ho takes a dlschaige ticket
or a moving permit.
"These identification cards have
proved very helpful In tracing tho

DREDGING DELAY8 WHARF.
Contrary to tho first expectations ot
Minister Young, tho Channel wharf
and warehouse will not bo completed
for about a month past tho contracted
tlmo ot February 28. This delay Is
from no fault of Cotton Brothers &
Co., the contractors. It has been found
that tho ledgo requiring to bo dredged
Is wider and contains moro coral than
was anticipated. To drlvo tho piles
through tho coral would havo taken
off tho copper, and then tho worms
would make a short Ufo for tho piles.
However, one-half of tho wharf
frontago and tho entlro warohouso aro
ready for commerce. Thcro Is 200 feet
of deep water along tho Inner end of
the wharf. To enable vessels to como
there right away tho dredge Is to be
taken In nt tho back of tho wharf to
work from tho outer end of tho ledgo
Inwardly. This will keep tho dredgo
out ot tho way ot shipping.
Superintendent Howell Is deputed by
Minister Young to ask tho Board of
Health this afternoon for permission
to use the warohouso nnd tho half ot
tho dock which Is available. Tho Gov
ernment will engage to maintain quar
antine between tho parts of tho wharf
occupied nnd not occupied.

RELIEF IN WHITE LABUK
Dr. Maxwell's Opinions Strengthened
by Queensland Trip.
Favorable Comments Hade Upon Bis Work
Immtnse Amounts ot Data- Much That
Is ot Value to Hawaii.
Dr. Walter Maxwell, director of the
Experimental Station and Laboratory
of the Hawaiian Planters' Association,
who Is also tho Hawaiian correspond
ent of the Department of Agriculture
of tho United States, shortly after his
return from his mission to Queensland
promised n Bulletin representative an
interview upon tho subject of that mis
sion. This morning, the opportunity
being favorable, Dr. Maxwell kept his
word. As a rulo the doctor is rather
averse to talking through the news
papers and never can bo Induced tncre
to unless ho thinks It may bo of somo
uso to this country.
"My business," Dr. Maxwell said In
answer to tbo first question asked him,
"was to Investigate the stato ot tho
sugar Industry of Queensland, and at
tho Instance of tho Queensland Gov
ernment. In other words, the Industry
was felt to bo in a very unsatisfactory
condition, tho causes of which wcro not
clear to them, and as a consequence tho
Government of tho colony atkcd mo
to visit tho country and examlno and
report upon tho matter.
"My report Is now In tho hands of
the Queensland Government and 1
sco by papers received from tho capi
tal In tho Mariposa that tho report Is
being most favorably considered by tho
leading journals. As a matter ot fact,
tho colony Is Intensely Interested In Its
sugar Industry, nnd it appears that any
Government In charge ot tho national
affalis must tako measures that may
bo considered necessary for tho main
tenance and expansion of tho Indus
try." QUEENSLAND'S ADVANTAGE.
Tbo Bulletin Is allowed by Dr. Max
well to quote from an editorial in tho
Briabano Courier written after ho left,
and which among other things has tho
following:
"As shown by tho experts, wo havo
a magnificent estate In our whlto farm
ors. Dr. Maxwell cannot too strongly
Impress upon us tho advantage wo pos
sess over other cane-growing countries
in bnvlng our cane fields In tho hands
ot white men content to work small
areas, and who are full of energy and
grit Into tho bargain. He tells us
plainly that wo do not properly rcalizo
our special fortune in this matter. Ho
says also that tho conditions of pos
sible cultivation nre In our favor.
Given a thoroughly sound, that is to
say, a scientific and proper system ot
cane farming, and ho says that Queens
land need fear nobody."
"How docs their cllmato compare
with ours, Doctor; I mean regarding
tho labor of whlto men?"
"Part of their cllmato In ono district
Is not quito as favorablo to whlto men
ns that ot Hawaii. In that district tho
sugar area Is spread out between 27
and 16 degrees of south latitude. Two
other districts nro moro favorable to
whlto men than tho Hawaiian Islands.
Tho Introduction ot Australian trees
Into the swamps along tho banks ot
tho Tiber Is rapidly assisting to re
move tho miasma or malaria from tho
city ot Homo, nnd In this place 1 would
suggest to Hawaii that most excellent
work could be done In planting the cm
calypti along tho bottom la s lead
ing from this city to Watklkl.
"Well, what do you think of Aus
tralia generally?"
"With respect to tho colonics gen
erally, they possess enormous natural
resources. As you know, the wool in
dustry of Australia if ono of tho indus
tries of tho world, whilst tho mining
possibilities of tho country, aro by no
menns comprehended."
"Of courso you will see, from tho few
things I have said, what a political and
. economical strength It gives to an In
dustry like tho sugar In having a largo
' number of white farmers directly In-
terestcd In It.'
At this point Dr. Maxwell kindly
showed the reportor a statement that,
above everything else, Illustrates tho
extrcmo care and detail with which ho
went Into tho investigation of each
subject. In this statement Is seen a
long roll of names of whlto farmers,
tho number ot acres ot cano, Including
both plant and rntoon, grown by each
of theso farmers, tho total tons of cane
that each farmer sent to tho mills, and
oven tho analysis of the Juice from the
cano of each of theso men. This state-
men snown by tho Doctor wua merely
a sample, out of a ponderous mass of
data in notebooks and documents, Il
lustrating how his Investigations In
Queensland wcro conducted. Somo of
the results, Dr. Maxwell says ,ho In
tends for the uso and advantngo of Ha
waii. He has all tho data of each
Queensland sugar district carefully
classified as to soils, climate, small
farmers, labor and tho genornl results
of tho Industry.

The arrival of R. C. A. Peterson from
Sydney In the Mariposa this morning
was a great surprise to bis many
friends, (is It was supposed from recent
letters and newspaper articles .hat he
Intended going to Manila and Loudon
before returning to bis home. Ho step
ped ashoro hero the samo Bert that
leftfor the Colonies with Weaver In tho
yacht Noma several months ago but
richer, by far, in experience. In an in
terview with a Bulletin reporter this
morning, Mr. Petorson said: "I left
Honolulu on a ouslness proposition. 1
was not 'shanghaied' but wmt at tno
earnest solicitations of Mr. Weaver,
'the proposition was the lloatlng of a
cocoa plantation In Samoa. I told Mr.
Weaver that 1 was willing to go into
any proposition that was equaro and
auovc board. In reply, ho said: 'Peter
son, I have a superstition that, it 1 do
anything crooked, i loso ray luck. Na
turally I do not wish any such thing to
happen.'
"All went well on tho trip. I was
treated In a most hospttablo manner
and have absolutely nothing to com
plnln of so far as that part ot ray jour
ney Is concerned.
"We went to Apis, Samoa, and thcro
mado arrangements for tho turning
over by native chiefs of several thou
sand acres of land nbout nine miles out
from Apia. Weaver had a letter trom
a San Francisco friend to H. J. Moon,
a big cocoa planter ot Samoa welch
represented him as an American mll
onaiie and a yacht owner. Naturally
things went well and Weaver succeed
ed through this man's efforts, in get
ting an option on tho land for six
months, the .cases, It taken up, to b
for forty years. My namo did not ap
pear on tho papers.
"Upon tho arrival ot tho yacht Nor
na In Auckland, I decided toirmatn
there awhile and Weaver proceeded to
Sydney. Wbllo In Auckland I learned
several things about Weaver that made
me 'cry quits' on tho wholo proposi
tion. ".Vcaver nnd I had ono or two live

of tho wholo thing. When I left on
tho Mariposa he camo aboard and

Weaver is above reproach but he la

"When I left Sydney, Wpavcr had
