They will remain subjects ot their own Gov.- ernments, act as thobo Governments Indicate through their diplomatic rep- nlllcont distances prevailed, iu pou resentatlves, and questions that may arise In regard to their status will be settled between their countries and ours, by diplomacy. There is little fear of a combination between them. They are antagonistic to each other. In Ho nolulu a few ot the better class of Japaneso are lawyers, physicians, teachers, editors, printers, merchants and artificers. A greater proportion of the Portu guese have colonized In Honolulu, se lecting high and almost useless land, on tho approach to Pnnohbowl and the mountains. They now own many cozy cottages, covered witli tlowira and vlnra. n nlmrrh nn1 RrhviT9 nml ihavl have nearly monopolized certain branches of agriculture. They eupply all Honolulu with flowers, Their in terests aro cared for by a diplomatic agent, and there Is no tear of their Joining forces with tho Japanese and Chinamen. Eliminating theso threo races, which I havo grouped together on account of their numerical preponderance, wo have but 06,000 people to manage. A further elimination of the 3,000 Amer icans reduces tho number to leas than half of the actual population of tho Islands. Wo havo remaining but 53,000 possible citizens. But of tho Americans, English, Ger mans and other nations 8,200 In all qulto a number must bo classed with tho half-breeds, for they are the hus bands ot the half-breed womon. tho fathers of their children, and thus sub Ject to their Influence Allow'n?, therefore, for two years' natural In croaee and for this addition, tho half breeds may bo considered as being at least ten thousand strong.

With thctc eliminations nccompllrh mI, wo hac but about 40,000 pjoplo from whom plllklas may be txpected, and that Is about the number of natives and half-breeds. If we r ti obtain their consent to ho governed by us, the problem Is solved nnd the principles announced In our Declaration cf lnde pendenre maintained. That we hnvc not obtnlrxM tho full and free content of thwo pc plo seems to l' a fact. Circumstances which occurred on nnd before Annex ation Day, the twelfth of last August. Indicate this very strongly, A short time before, protests agalnBt annexa tion had been tiled with bo h Govern ments, by political socle. Ics. On the day when annexation was consummat ed, of the great number of the best of Honolulu people who, through social or official standing, were ontltled to places on the great platform built on the steps o tho executive building formerly the palace of Hawaii's mon archs to witness and participate In the ceremonies, but one of the threo principal classes Into wbloh Honolulu people are divided was prcsont in any force, those, namely, who affiliated with or supported tho party of which tho Government was formed. The ott er parties, the natives and uaU-whUco, and tho Royalists, took no part, and Ianl, the ox-Princess Kalulanl, and. in tlio list I have before mo as I write, I cannot And their names nor the name o y ot lno prom,neat UoyaUU. nor of a Hawaiian not attached to tho ooVernmellt Tho band ot Hawaiian daritso. wbq were to have lowered for the last time tho Hawaiian Hag, as tho Gjvornment baml 'I-i'e1 for the Ume officially .''"-sv,a j z tss. dently. there was discord, and, as evl- s&iMsa jas i js healed, tho opposing factions Into wllIcll ,,,0 awaUan pconie m, thon bcon spilt had not coalesced Ileyond question, n largo body of theso who wcro to bo governed did not ccniuu to tho new government. Undoubtedly, there were many d f- ferent reasons for this unhappy state of uffalrs. The object of this paper Is to polm out and dlecuaj one ot ihcne reasons; others may be touched upm incidental, Tha Hawaiian lovea and hates strongly. I.'o loves his country, his mPDarcll)r'. u,?.lu!:?,?. onl ' or her who occupies It. Whatccr may bo tho verelgn's character, ho Is loyal to herag t en imes? thet con saCred a good woman and a good queen, for she was Intelligent, queen- )y, dignified and charitable. They d d not believe that she had committed any wrong. To them, even If admit od, the faults charged were venial, even virtues, 'jnero was a universal feel ing that when she was dethroned she was wronged, and throughout tho land prayers to tbo true God, and to the false gods, wcro offered for her res toration. A vast majority of tho half-whites Btiared the views of their Hawaiian relatives. Many ot them were In sym pathy with those who attempted by revolution to restore the queen. Some Joined those In revolt and qulto a number contributed funds. Clearly all or the natives, Including the halt whites, were firmly convinced Uiat their Government had been taken away from them by violence without cause and most of them thlnK so to this day. I have just received a letter from an educated Hawaiian lady, a teacher, a member of ono of the few native tain - (Ilea who gave their allegiance Io fie Provisional Governmont. She write under date ot August 10 from Maul "Well, our Islands aro annexed, 'nit the bitter foellngs of tho dftw.illiiH aro still the same, and they still h po for the. queen to bo b-ck on tho thron I feel very bad for them, but ttiero 's no way ot giving them a plain cxpl na tion."

Dr. Monsarr.it was not present having gone to Kauai to examine beef cattle reported to liaxo tubcrcuioMs and will report to the Hoard nt tho next meet ing. Dr. A. M. Sinclair tendered his resig nation as Government phslclan at Walanae which was accepted. 'J he quctttlon ot not allowing plants with soil upon them to be shipped to tbo Island of Molokal was discussed and tho action of Mr. Reynolds In pre venting taro tops from being landed there was approved, as at present the blight has not effected the taro which Is being cultivated at tho Settlement. Dr. Wm. i Ludlow who has been connected with the Navy during tho present war mado application for an appointment as Government physician, In his application -to tho Uoard ho statea that he la a graduate from tho University of tho City of New York of 1S!3. Tho application was ordered filed. Some ot tbo local drugglBts have complained to tho Uoard that tbo pat ronage Is not being distributed In tho purchasing of supplies which tho Hoard requires. Secretary Wilcox was In structed to notify the Government phy sicians that all requisitions for supplier must bo mado to tho Uoard hereafter nnd that body will direct whero they aro to be purchased. Dr. Wood submitted tho report of the Investigation of tho sanitary con dition nt Camps Otis and McKtnlcy which wns made by Geo. W. Smith and himself Sunday. They found that tho Camps nro In a much better sanitary condition, the sinks having been Im proved. Camp Otis the doctor says Is not In us good condition as McKlnlcy, that tho latter camp Is really In an ex cellent condition. Hoth camps have been cleaned up generally during the past few days. After tho doctor hnd finished with tho report upon tho camps ho turned his nttcntlon to tho city seworago system. Tho doctor claims that tho system Is not In pro per condition and offered tho follow ing resolutions which were adopted: Whereas. Tho popuatlon of Hono lulu Is rapidly Increasing and many new residences are being erected with' In the city limits, and Whereas, Tho present system of ex cavatlou ot cesspools for tbo reception of all sewage and other waste Is a source ot great danger to tbo public health, and i Whereas, Plans and specifications have been secured by tho Government and the money appropriated by tho Legislature for the erection of a sew erage sybtem In Honolulu, Therefore, Iio It Resolved, That tho Board of Health urge upon tbo Min ister ot the Interior the necessity fcr prompt action in establishing a sew erage system. Dr. Emerson In support of Dr. Wood's resolution said that some ac tion should havo been taken which ten dered toward tho hotter men t of tho sewerage system. Dr. Day also favored tho resolution nnd said that he re gretted that tho Government had neg lected to provide sufficient means to make the syBtcm what Is should bo. A moticm was mado and carried to send u copy of tho resolution to the 1 Minister of tho Interior. President Smith read tho nnmes of several Government physicians who hud fulled to mako their monthly re ports and Instructed tho Secrutary to remind them ot tho oversight. Dr. Monsarrat's report for week end ing October 2C, showod that 15S bul locks, 4C calves, 238 sheep and 111 hogs had been killed for the local market Dr. Alvarer, superintendent of tho Ka.ui station submitted tho following1 Mr. W. O Smith, President of tho Hoard of Health. Dorr Sin While nttcnd'ng tho Lon roay Conference In Berlin last October I took pirtlcular no' Ire cf n p-per ont by Dr. Hormnn, of Cipo cf Good Hope, on "Tho b-clllua of leprcry In th hu man system at different periods of Its ' growth." Dr. Herman claims that the young tiaellll of Irpnwy du not l Main Dm irl rolor hrn wmImxI In 30 per rent toliitton ot nllrlc acid, llltheito all IfproloftlMa lautht that the bacilli ot lepiv)' could lie d'slin imlthiM from many olhrr Im-llll by Ilia fart that they er not doooloriicl by Mronn MMitllon or inlntral arid. Tor rrtrral months aflor my return to th Kallhl Laboratory lat levm bcr, I prepared hundred ot rowr-tllp which, upon exninlnntloii, rcvcilni only rcd-rtalnrd bacilli. I did not feet discouraged, honcier, but continued the search until I inoccviW In demon alratlng bejond doubt, the exUlmro ot bacilli of lepinay which arv entirely ii. colorized when washed In rolutlnim ot 5 per rent ot sulphuric acid or In 30 per rout of nitric ncld. At the last mooting of the Committee on the Treatment of leprosy, I exhib ited cover slip showing both rod nnd decolorized barllll side by Mdo In tho jamo coversllp, and I have nt profcnt still better preparations In tho labor atory than thoie seen by tho commit tee. I have never found tho decolorized bacilli lu old tubercbit or ulcerating surface. They nro found only In re cent eruptions or wrw nodule and nro probably the young or nctlvu bacilli, while I lie barllll which hold Hie color aro probably old and Inert. This discover)' may wrvo to explain the many failures In producing pure cultures In artlllclal media. If Uio ex perimenter Inoculates his tube from old tubercles be must not expert to raise colonies from bacilli, which. It not dead, have lost their power of re production; and. If ho found colonics of bacilli In his tubes which did not re tain tho stain, ho would naturally throw them away. I lmve often dis carded such growths, regarding them as contaminations, because they did not respond to the test of resisting de coloration with mineral acldu. It Is mora than probablo that somo were puro cultures of bacilli of leprosy, I havo lately obtained growths of bacilli resembling those ot leprosy In blood serum, which 1 hopo after fur ther Investigation will prove to bo ba cilli of leprosy. Theso bacilli nro de colorozcd by mineral acids, nml the grow tli is almost Invisible. Tho only sign of growth Is a glazed appearance of tho surface Inoculated. They ap pear to grow only on the surface of tho serum nnd do not form separate colonies. A mongoose Inoculated with these bacilli showed slight paralysis of the hind legs nnd died a few days after, but the examination of bin body did not reveal Uio cause ot death. All lilti organs seemed to bo ihoalthy, Further experiments will bo neces sary to determine positively tho na ture of .these culture. Respectfully submitted, L. K. ALVAREZ. M.
