U Hll SEES AN OASIS AHEAD Registration of Chinese Hs Kept Him Very Busy. REPORT OF WORK ABOUT READY FOR TRANSMISSION Gives J. P. Cooke, of Planters' Asso ciation, Credit for Valuable Assistance-- Collector Talks of Work. Collector of Internal Revenue Hoy 11. Chamberlain, has arrived at a point in checking up the papers In the Chlneso registration, that enables him to seo ilav light ahead and feel some assur ance that within a few weeks he may be able to cock bis feet upon a desk and enjoy the easy side of holding public office. Tor the past tlx months, he has been working like a benvcr and while not a loafer by nature, he has had no opportunity lo !eld to the seductive Influence of the climate and put on airs of "ofilclnl laziness and In dolence" common In tropical capitals. Mr. Chamberlain has checked up and finds he has registered over 28,500 Chi nese. He has prepared two maps, each show lug the locality mid number of Chinese found, so thnt a glance will show an observer how the Oriental population Is distributed through the islands. One of these maps. Mr. Cham, herlaln has presented to Mr. J. I. Cooke of the Planters Association, and tho other will be forwarded to Wash ington with bis final leport. The Col lator tccls under spec! il obligations to .Mr. Cooke and the Planters' Associa tion for assistance given during tho prosecution of the work of registration. In speaking of the campaign and Its lessons. Mr. Chamberlain said that the entire woik would probably cost the. uniceii mates me sum en tou.wv, ur nbout $1 per head. This amount doe? not signify any extrnvagnnco of ex penditure but the Collector Ib of tho belief that he could o the Job over again for half that amount. "I would entirely revise the system of blanks." said he. "Those used by our force were designed for territory on tho Mainland, where all points nrc within leach of each other by wire and where communication Is cas. Here In the Islands, some of my deputies were at work In districts so i emote from my headquarters that I could not write nnd ictclve letters dining tl c period. This made the work expensive." "In my final report to Washington 1 will flgme In detail (he cost per head of the work of reglstiatlon. Tho rc puit will deal statistically with the Chinese In theso Islands and will con tain a fund of Information of especial value If n similar work is over ncccs saiy elsewhere." "In leglstcrlng the Chinese. I have irfralned at all times finm giving them what might be termed legal advice on nny Intricate points thft might nrtse. I have no doubt but that two or three thousand were icglstcied, who under the law would not be required so to do To all who raised this Question I mere 1) suggested that to be on the Bafc sldo In all contingencies that might arise, tho best plan would be to register. Nearly nil followed tliU suggestion and should tho Hawaiian bom Chlneso ever travel on the Mainland, he will nnd his icglstratlon certificate a thing of great value nnd convenience."

Honolulu being In Buch close touch with tho Orient, plague Is an ever prenent menace and Dr. Cofer Is using nil the measures within the province of the sen Ice to protect this port and protect the ship Ping. In order that nil vessels leaving hero shall hao practlque that will prevent any serious delais-sby quarantine offi cers of the Coast, Dr. Cofer will require that the effects of sailors shall be thoroughly disinfected before the de parture. Steerage passengers on tho steamers will be required to have their effects properly disinfected and In spected before departure. This will enable Dr. Cofer to give ships from this port a practical free bill of health and prevent the probability of Bcrlous de lays on arrival In San Francisco. In coming and outgoing steamers and sailing vessels nlll be kept tho usual distance from the wharves to guard against plague rats which might be brought from tho Orient.

This tarried and the salary wax rn i to $1800, according to the amendment of the Senate, Mr, 1'nrts moved to reconsider tho Items of Hack Inspector ami Assistant Hack Inspector In ordc. to have them Inserted In tbelr proper plares. This carried, the Items wciu properly In setted and then Mr. Whlto wanted an other reconsideration for the purpose of inlslnir the salary of the Assistant Hack Inspector. The motion was lost) by n vny narrow mnigin. All went well until the commltteo reached the Item of Pay of Hanger, Gth Land District, under the head of De partment of Public Woiks. Mi.

Mr Knimeliith said ho know for a fact that this department of the government was uiteiferlng soil, ously with tho business of men who had come hcie to do sm h woik of land bcapo gardening. If the man nt the gov eminent nurseiy was to attend strictly to tho planting of forest tiees and not take bread and butter out of the mouths of good haul working men by planting und distributing, free of charge, all mnnw-r of Coweitng plants then ho would vote for the Item.

Honuapo Boiler Explode Saturday .News comes from Hawaii that on June 29th one erf the big boilers at Honuapo blew up wrecking tho boiler house and tho office nt the mill. For tunately no one was rear at tho time nnd so there wrb no on Injured. The explosion enmed a gpcat ex citement nnd considering tho force. It Is wonderful that more damage was not done. The whole front of tho building In which the boilers are lo cutod was blown out and tho bricks and Iron roofing falling on tho otrico demolished one nlde p It. Some of the living debrlc was, by the force of tho explosion, cntrlcd Into tho Porto Itlenn camp doing some little damage. The fireman who was on wutrb at tho time tho explosion happened had Just trimmed his fit s und walked out of the building to get a glass of water. The explosion knocked the glass from his band. The mill was shut down for only a few minutes as n result of tho boiler bursting. The work Is now be ing cnnleel on with one boiler. No cause Js at picsent nBSlgncd for the accident.

A STATEMENT OF THE EXISTING SITUATION How Much Is Needed To Complete Work-Something About Relief Sewer-As To Kewalo. The startling Information comes to light that, In ease something Is not done with the outfall of the sewer s)s tcin In two or three months time, all the work that has so far been done on that most Important pait will go for naught and Honolulu will have nd vanred not one step townrd the earn ing off or the mth or the city, a con summation that has been most de voutly pin)cd tor the.se many cnrs. Ibo state of affulis Is serious. The present lack of funds means not only the waste of the thousands of dollars alread spent on labor and material but an awful menace to tho health of the people of the city oi account or Its present growing condition and tho con gestion of the population In the dis tricts where poorer classes live. A conservative estimate places the sum needed at $10,000 for tin completion of the outfall of the sewoi and $7000 for the completion or what Is known as tho relief seucr, which eiossrs the Ala Moana road near the Iron woiks nnd pierces the wall near thenon abandon ed military shooting range. Tho ques tion In asked Is it not better to put another $17,000 Into this most neces sary work than to allow tho thousands i't dollars ahead) spent to go for naught' Taking tho outfall of the sewer first, this Is the 8tate of affairs. The gov ernment, nflcr It had taken tho work out of the hands of John Wilson, started In on tho work and continued the motion until the first day of this month, whfn It wns compelled to stop work on account of the lack of fumU It. the Treasury.
