Last'wtek'at Karlstad,' Sweden,, the eight Commissioners from Sweden and Norway concluded their-regoti-ations-regarding the dissolution of the1 union which for'nlnety1 years has existed bet ween' the two countries. The Commissioners were, for Sweden, Messrs.

"If," as the Christiania "Morgenbladt" justly said, "Norway is prepared" to 'dismantles' her new fortification in order to show her love for peace and desire for a settlement with Sweden, not a gun or a stone shall be moved until 'the arbitration treaty is signed."" Sweden's fear of Norwegian fortresses is, ultiraatly, a fear of Russian aggression by way of Norway. For the Swedes dread the possible' foreign alliances which might be entered into by Norway. In case of a Russian alliance, ' S weden would indeed be between two fires. The protocol, as signed by the Commis sioners," is now iubjeet' to ratification b the Swedish ''and "Norwegian Parliaments.

Pirikham did-not- see that it woild be1 more injurious to have 'the facts oubiiahed irt the case of 'TInnn. fulJ than in that of the ports of the Onjent. '''Publicalioh of contagious disesaes occurring there did hot keep tourists away from that part of the world.' Publication of the facts would certainly be less' injurious than the false reports that go aboard. A yarn recently told in San Francisco by a man from Ililo resulted in a quaran tine hbld-upof all vessels from Hawaii Dr. Judd moved 'that every two weeks a list of deaths from contagi ous' clseases be published. Dr. Wayson seconded the motion, which was at once put and carried. "I would like to goon record as op. posed to the proposition," Mr. Smith said wf.ile his hand was up for the jjpgatlve; ' ' Dr. Wayson moved that tho pro ceediugsof that meeting- be allowed to be published. Dr. Judd seconded the motion and it carried, Mr. Smith again requesting to be put on record against the proposal. - THE MAIN PROPOSITION. Following is the recommendation: of President Pinkham to the ' Board "As published in my report of June 30,, 1905, there occurred seven deaths fro(u plague in the district of Ilono lulu duriug the, preceding-:. twelve months. Several of these deaths hap pened in the latter part of the year 1904. At that time local rumors and gossip became so exaggerated your President f .?lt they should be publicly refuted. This was done by means of his address before the Hawaiian Medical Association. A similar state of rumor and gossip exists this fall an1 requires the same refutation. "It is proper to consider places similarly) exposed as Honolulu. In Manila ea?h month the Board of Health publishes the number of deaths from ef.ch contagious disease, including plague, small pox, cholera and typhus. The same publicity i givenin Hongkoug, Shanghai, Yoko hama, Kobe and Nagasaki. The prevalence or absence of these diseas es has no effect on the great tourist and other travel to and from these ports. "The weather conditions and damp ness have recently favored dormanl plague germs. In live weeks we have had in the district of Honolulu, six deaths faora that diseases. - Three of these cases are directly traceable to one second story room where two vic tims had slept in dirty personal sur roundings. One of the two at post mortem had no Indication of ever having had a bath, and hit under clothing could not have been changed in months. From this room', circum stances indicate, the infection Was carried to a third person, who died of the diseaso. A fourth victim lived in a second story room across the street. The room was well furnished but was not properly cared for;' as dust tad been alfciwed to accumulate for months. A fifth victim' lived in a house situated on low damp ground,' made by harbor dredgings but lett several feet lower than the surround ing ground. The sixth death we can not account for. The cottagd vraa in faircoudition. It was near a stable, however. In this district we have been unable to find or catch any rats.. "To those persons who are correct in their personal habits," and reside' in sanitary districts 'and homes', "the danei s of plague are less than ' any other disease under the observation of the Board of Health. :: - "The health reputation of Hono lulu,' Hilo and the Territory is" from time to time infinitely more injured by sensational "correspondence," and rombheers who 'wish W'spin a' big yarn 'when visiting the coast, ' than would' be possible from plain official statements of facts. . "I suggest you cousiderthe advisa bility of publishmgweekly' the num ber of dea'ths occurring in Honolulu from contagious diseases, including plague and tuberculosis.'" ' HOSPITAL DIFFICULTIES , President Pinkham stated in his message that the Quarantine hospital was tho only one over" which the Board had control;'1' It had a ' keop er, only and; in cases of ertjergrency, one or tW6 health 'inspectors' were detailed there as nurses; The Queen's Hospital would not receive or retain contagious cases, ' and it classed tuberculous cases' amon g ' these; 1 "Tb e ,Hpme for1 Incurables is! the only place to Whictfordlna'ry tufectious" and iu purable cases can be sent. It is four and a half miles' from the ottice ' of the 1 Board; "and the Quarantine: hospital twO and a half mile's distant, ,u !'H has b'eeu the -custom to send tubercular-patients,1 thouph scarcely able to sit up, to" the office of 1 the president of the Board and let him hustle to find a place for them.- He does not object, for, if their -is no other way to provide ' he opens up the Quarantine hospital' for their care until he '"can find a space for them. - It is not, however,' very humane to-hold Very feeble, ' sick person?, on" our hall way five or ' six hours while your execuitive W t rylng to place' them.' With some other remarks the presi dent made the following suggestions "It seems to me the Queeu's Hos pital would' do well to provide a 6m all, detached,- isolated ward on their own for adjacent grounds' to which Puch patients could be immediatly removed until they are permabeutly provided for; or the diagnosis pormits of their freturn to-the hospital" proper." In such a ward'' the President of the Board' should ' be allowed to place every ill persons for not over twenty four to forty-eight hours until he can provide for them. This should be in charge of the Queen's Hospital for it is the height of folly to multiply In stitutions and expense.' ' ''The home for Incurables can ac commodate twice' as many persons as it has the means to support. The location is unexecelled for its objects.
