Inero was another conference of

Tho plumbers will confer with tho
Doard of Health at 3 o'clock this af
ternoon. John Nott, a member of tho Council
of Stato and ono of tho oldest ntnbtcr
plumbers of Honolulu, being asked If
he was at tho meeting, rcplleJ in the
ncgatlvo nnd said ho would have noth
ing to do with tho matter at tho pres

"The Hoard or Health cannot legis
lato for tho future," said Air. Nott.
"It may make rules for tho plague sit
uation whllo that lasts, but theio la no
law existing as a basis for regulating
tho plumbing business.
"This point camo out on the Horn In
serted In tho appropriation bill, of $G,
000 for a sanitary plumbing Inspector.
When tho question was askod an to
what law tho money should bo expend
ed under. It had to bo answered that
thore was no law on tho subject.
'In n short time tho lioaid of
Health's authority In the matter will
end, nnd nothing to control tho plumb
ing business would then hivo nny
forco or effect until tho LcghUttiro
passed a general law on tho subjoct."

Newspaper circles aro delighted at
tho prospect of a pen nnd Ink duel
between tho editors of two rival Sun

fully keeps tho Sunday Examiner up
to a high standard of yellowness, has
fallen foul of Mabel Claro Craft, who
presides over tho sober hued Chroni
cle Both of these gifted people are
nerfectlv well ablo to toko caro ol
themselves; tho other Journalists aro
simply concerned in keeping a clear
ring for tho combatants, eo that their
Ink may flow freely and in large quan
tities. Millard, so far, Is credited with
first ink. Ho revives tho charge that
tho fair Mabel is guilty of plagiarism
In her book Hawaii Nel, and also In an
artlclo about Mexico. Tho lady editress
has not yet replied, but sho may bo
looked for tomorrow, and may bo trust
ed to stab hard, with venomous pea
and acrid ink, when once sho lets down
her back hair. In tho meantime, whilst
nwnltlne sentence. Millard may claim
kudos for having added a now and most
cxprcsslvo word to tho Kngllsh lan

Mr. Cooper nnswered a iiertllon of
Mr. Achl about officers who, during tho
plnguo suppression, recclvad more pay
than tho pro rata of tho limit In the

Thero wa3 nothing In tho constitution
or laws to nrcvent tho Lcglsl turo f 1 om
passing th oltem. It was objoctlon-
nblo. however, on account of Its In-
deflnltcness. If It passed, a condition
should bo passed to mako tho Insti
tution non-sectarian. Tho Attorney
General called attention to tho clause
In tho constitution nuthorlzlns ap
propriations by tho Council of Stato,
particularly limitations as to tho na
turo of appropriations. Tho question
was ono for tho Council to decide ac
cording to tho constitution. Ho also
called nttentlon to President McKln
Icv'b tclecrnm. deciding ngalnst a meet
ing of tho Legislature. It was doubtful
If this Item belonged to tho appropria
tions contemplated by President Mc
Klnlcy. However, It was not for the
Attorney General to glvo a dcllnito rul
ing. Mr. Jones moved, seconded by Mr.
Achl, that tho Item bo stricken out.
Both gentlemen wero In sympathy with
tho object, but doubted tho power of
maKlng mo appropriation. f. iuuub
was of tho samo mind.
Mr. Cooper explained that ho had
not lecommended strlk'ug tho Item

caution. ,, m
Mr. Allen reminded tho Council of
tho conditions ho attached to tho Item
when moving for Its Insertion In Act

For many months past tho Inter-
Island Co. has had occasion to notion
tho great need for more boats to keep
up with tho over Increasing sugar
trade, particularly between tho Island
of Kauai and Honolulu. Tho stcamrrs
of the company havo been Jespntchtd
with as much rapidity ns possible In
order to prevent unnecessary piling up
of sugar on tho Garden Isle.
Notwithstanding this fact tho stc.un
crs havo been unablo to copo with tho
situation. Tho last steamer from Kauai
brought the news of 1CO.U01 bags of
sugar at tho various plantations with
this amount being added to very rapid
ly. Realizing this state of affair tho
directors of the I. I. S. N. Co. met at
tho main offlco of tho company yes
terday forenoon and decided to scud !u
an order for a new steamer ns soon
as possible.
John Ena, president of tho com
pany, who will leave 30111 for the
Coast, was empowered to do tho order
ing. It seems that somo communii'a
tion relating to tho new boat has al
ready been going on for It haj been
learned that Hall Bros., tho bulldets cf
the Maunn Loa nnd other steamers of
the fleet, are unable, on account of ex
cess of work, to think of building tho
new boat. Tho contract will thercfoio
go to Hay & Wright or somo r.f tho
shipyards north.
Although tho general plan of tho
steamer has been decided on tho de
tails will bo left to Mr. Ena. The new
boat will bo vcr much llko tho Mauua
Loa. Although a llttlo smaller hho
will havo about tho samo carrying
capacity as the steamer mentioned. Her
passenger accommodations will bo
somewhat sacrificed for tho sako of
freight space.
Thero will bo a lighter cnglno In ll.i
new steamer than In tho Maunn Loa
and, in placo of two boilers, there will
be but one. No limit of price to h'i
paid has been set. This will bj left to
tho discretion of Mr. Hna. It Is stipu
lated, however, that the steamer must
bo finished and delivered In Honolulu
during tho present year.
