LETTERS FROM THE SETTLEMENT Beneficial Herb Commercial Project of Mr. Feary. Pol Scarce. The attendance of Executive Officer ,,,3 . , . .w-j iiwiuo ui'uu ciJt,- jumu ui il tail il meeting yesterday afternoon had the effect of swelling the volume of trans- ,. . . . aetlons ana aaaing to the importance of the session. Mr. Reynolds has just Pr-siflPnf Smifh was in th h,n Mr tne meeting ana secretary vvncox was , . , . on hand as usual. There were also present Dr. Emerson, Mr. 'Keliipio, Dr. Monsarrat, Dr. Oliver and Theo. F.

During the past fortnight, according to Mr. Keliipio there have been handled at the market 95,273 fish. Reports were read from Koloa and Hilo hospitals. Nothing out of the ordinary. Dr. F. S. S. Jerome, lady graduated physician and surgeon, from France, was recommended by the Board to the Minister of Interior for a license to practice medicine and surgery in this country. Dr. N. Russel, of Hilo, submitted a bill for attendance upon a supposed case of diptaieria. The Board will ask for further information from Hilo. Caution will be exercised before a precedent of paying other than a Gov ernment physician for services. Mr. Lansing said allowance of .the claim would open up an extensive claim field. Fifty-two people in Koloa and sixty in Lihue send a petition asking that Dr. Waughup, acting temporarily be made the permanent Government phy sician for the places named. Action deferred. 'The secretary will acknowl edge receipt of the letter. Many natives are in favor cf Mr. Waughup. Three petitions advocating the ap pointment of Dr. F. Macmillan for Gov ernment physician in Kau were read. There were 123 signatures. Nearly all of the signers were Hawaiians. Final disposal of the petitions was post poned. A native woman of Hcokena com plained to the Board of swine running at large in that place. Referred to the police department. W. L. Wilcox notifies the Board of the scarcity of taro on account of blight and drought and of his unability to supply the contract amount of poi. Mr. Wilcox states that he has made every effort to get the vegetable. More than half the Chinese poi shops of Ho nolulu have closed. In Koolau. Oahu, natives are making poi largely of flour. Mr. Wilcox suggests that all effort be made to have rice and bread used at the Molckai settlement. President Smith said Mr. John Ena had told him of the extensive use of wheat flour poi in Kona. Mr. Keliipio said taro and poi were very scarce. Dr. Monsarrat being questioned. 50 per cent, of the natives were pilikia for poi. Dr. Oliver said the change to rice and flour poi during the cholera term in 1895 pro duced much illness for a long time. The Board recognizes the plight of the contractor and will simply request him to furnish all the poi possible. for the settlement. Mr. Wilcox will not be re leased entirely from the agreement to supply paiai. The Board will increase the shipment of wheat flour to the settlement. A number of people at the Molokai settlement write of herbs growing near Kalaupapa which they have used for bathing lotious with much benefit. It is represented that the field in which these herbs grow is about to be used for pasturage. The natives wish the tract reserved. Dr. Oliver said the patients who had used these baths seemed to improve as under the other bathing treatments. This matter is re ferred to Mr. Reynolds, who will in vestigate and report. It is certain that the herb supply will be kept for the use of the patients. A haole at the settlement asks for leave to make and sell sweet cider, using the following besides water. Raisins, grain, sugar and cream of tartar. This is represented as a non intoxicant. The man says the cider will stop the "swipes business." The Beard will look into the cider proposal on the next visit. Mr. Reynolds spoke of the posslbili- ty of raising a large amount of taro near the settlement. Superintendent Feary and others desire to engage in the business and ask for a ten-year agreement, presenting a contract. Mr, Feary has made some start already, President Smith and Mr. Lansing saw much objection to Mr. Feary, as all official, conducting such a business privately and receiving for the Board, goods from himself. Mr. Reynolds be lieved the idea a good one and cited that while in office Assistant Superin tendent Hutchinson had several fish eries. There might be a change and Mr. Feary was a resident of the set tlement for life. Dr. Oliver said Mr, -beary was a man oi energy and in tegrity who could be depended upon absolutely. Mr. Smith cited that Feary, when taking the superintendency, had been compelled to give up a coffee shop business, as suggested by Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds said the dif ference was that in the coffee shop the owner came into direct personal contact with settlement people, ah I v, t j members seemed to question the proposed arrangement. Mr. Lan sing agreed with dir. Reynolds that ". v, -i" - exueiu. p" ii, uut i8m.u ii u in wis m pyie wuuiu &u mw business.

The incubation period of the plague.is nine days and as there is disinfection at Hong Konff, tt.he danger of Hawaii is slight. Dr. Jordan will send bulletins promptly and will give timely warning to the Islands. The plague in Bombay is violent, one day's report being 1S1 cases and 17 deaths From Yokohama the Board agent writes that health in the Empire is good, but that quarantine has been de- clared against Hong Kong on account of the plague. There is some plague in Formosa. President Smith said he had held a conference with Dr. Day, Honolulu port physician and that un- usual watchfulness and care would be exercised here in the inspection of all immigrants and travelers. All steerage clothing will be thoroughly disinfected here. Dr. Emerson brought up the mat- ter of failure right in Honolulu to re-j port births and deaths.

VVII Under existing conditions, he said, the cox and Mr. Reynolds from the time of money from the several districts for school tax must be expended in the district in which it was collected. Were tne passed the Government could spend it where they pleased. It was all very well for Honolulu where the district could see that the schools re- ceived. After explanations "by Minister Damon and Cooner of the Interior of the system of book-keeping neces- sitated by the existing acts, the bill passed second reading. Third reading was set lor Friday. The sake bill was read by title and went to the Commerce Committee. The House bill relating to claims against estates of deceased persons was read by title and went to the Judiciary Committee. rlhe Senate bill to amend the act relating to appeals and bills of ex ceptions come up icn. second reading and passed. Third reading was set for Monday. The report of the special commit- tee on the bill in regard to Schedule B was taken up with the bill. The committee offered a further amend- ment that nothing contained in sec- tion OS "shall be continued to authorize the Tax Assessor to demand the re turn authorized by this section from any person, copartnership or corpora- tlOT1 whose business consists solely m the buying and selling of merchan dise." It was explained that this amendment sustained the division of the Executive last year. The bill then passed second reading. Third reading General appropriation bill 4 was taken up. An item amounting to ?6,600 for bridges in general on Kauai and an item of $700 for Waikae bridge on Kauai were inserted as was an item of 2,500 for expenses of the Bureau of Immigration.

Isenberg introduced his bill and relating to barbed wire fences barbed wire on fences and Rep. Robert son followed suit with his bill relating to the decent of property. Rep. Robertson gave notice of his intention to introduce an act to relieve the Sailor's Home Society of taxes and another relating to the carrying of mail by coasting vessels. Rep. Wilder read three reports that, for length, must surely have satis fied the members who. early in the week, objected to the handing in of reports for passage, indefinite post ponement or laying on the table, of certain bills without further comment. In regard to House bill 59, relating to fraud in sale of foreign gcods in the Republic of Hawaii, the Committee on Commerce recommends passage with out amendment. "This Act is aimed to promote honesty in business dealings and to promote and protect Island production and manufacture. It i3 clearly an imposition and fraud upon the purchaser to have the quality or make of goods misrepresented in the way sought to be guarded against by this Act. The bill is calculated as above stated, to protect and foster Island manufacture and produce, and It has a commendable end and one which has already induced considerable legis lation. The second report was on House bill Gl, "An Act to facilitate the recovery of rents." The committee recommend ed passage of the act. The report In part, is as follows: "In the opinion of the committee the method of enforc ing rent by distraining the goods of the tenant gives undue power to the landlord and is likely to lead to abuses and also occasionally to positive breaches of peace. Many of the State legislatures hav eabolished this method of procedure, and we are of the opinion. that the landlord will have sufficient protection by suit for the recovery of rent." The third report of the Commerce Committee was on House bill 51, "An Act to amend Section 14 and 15 of Chapter 44 of the Session Laws of 1SS2," and to repeal Sections 17 and 18 of said Laws, relating to the sale of spirituous liquors.
