LONDON, Exg., June 4.—The new cut- ter, Meteor, built for Emperor:William of l(iermanv by D. and W. Henderson, aiter designs by G. L. Watson, proved herself a fast craft in the regatta to-day of the Koyal London Yacht Club, the first race in which she has taken part. Of the big cutiers in the race the Britannia, owned by the Prince of Wales, was the only one that at any time had the slightest chance of bholding her own against the former boatand this chance faded into nothingness when the Meteor | began to reach for home. | Judging from to-day’s performance of | the Meteor it is belicved that she is the I| most speeay big cutterin a light wind that | has ever beer built in England, and ex- | perts say that in a blow she will prove her- self a dangerous rival of any racing craft ne course extends a distance of about miles.

FLORAL TESTIMONIALS. Touching Funeral Services Held at the Central Union Church. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST PLAGUE Hawaiian Officials Take Steps to Shut Out the Asiatic Pesti. lence. HONOLULU, Hawan, May 28.—This city was shocked and saddened on the ait- ernoon of the 19th by the unexpected death of Miss Kate Field. Tne steamer W. G. Hall arrived from Hawaii at1:15 P with the eminent lady ina dying condition from pneumonia. Sailors from the United States steamer Adams speedily | pestilence from Asiatic ports, by sending | ing such provisions for current revenue as carried her on a stretcher to the residence of Dr. J. 8. McGrew, where she exvired at 57w Just before breathing her last Miss Field opened her eyes and smiled in recognition of Mrs. NicGrew. At the age of 55 Miss Field had evidently overtaxed her strength in a series of fa- tigning rides through the outer districts, and over the aifficult trails of the island of Hawaii. She reached Kailua on the 13th with pains in the chest after a severe jour- ney over the lava fields from Kohala. She was bent on pursuing her interested route of ninety miles further over bad roads to Kilauea. Proceeding the next day ten miles to Mr. Greenwell’s, near Kauwaloa, she became unable to go further.and was | persuaded to await the Hall's return to Honolulu. on the 18th Dr. Adriance of the Coronet party was brought to her and got her aboard the ship that afternoon. ' Soon after reaching the steamer her symptoms assumed an alarming form. Everything possible was assiduously done for her re- lief and comfort. By the following morn- ing her condition became highly critical and extra speed was made for Honolulu, barely reaching there in time for her to expire among friends on shore. The city was full of sincere mourners, to whom her previous sojourn had greatly endeared her. The obsequies were con- ducted the next day in a crowded assem- bly at the Central Union -Church. The floral testimonials were profuse, contrib- uted by Mrs. Dole and more than a score of prominent ladies. The press furnished a large floral ornament in red, white and blue. The casket was deposited in the family vault of John H. Paty, awaiting orders from home. W.O. Smith carried to Yokohama a cablegram from Thurston to Kohlsaat. An energetic measure has been taken by this Government to prevent the intro- duction here of the black plague or other On the arrival of tne steamer | per Doric, on the 19th, W. O. Smith, At- | tornay-General, with Dr. C. B. \Vood, to Yokohama and Hongkong for the purpose | of establishing agencies for quarantining, | prior to departure, all steerage passengers ‘leaving those ports for Honolulu during the existence of such pestilence. Minister Damon has introduced a bill to exempt from duty all grape wines under 18 per cent alcohol for five years. This is strenuously opposed and not likely to pass. On the evening of the 18th a mass-meet- ing of several hundred Portuguese on ; Union square was addressed by Portu- | guese speakers. They declared adhesion to { the republic and for annexation, but urged redress of grievances, especially competi- tion of Asiatic labor. They also protested | against the thumb-mark in registration as an indignity. This thumb-mark, as| means of idemification, is considered in- | dispensable to that,ver_\' control of Asiatic immigrants necessary to meet the demands of the Portuguese. Formal resolutions in favor of annexa- | tion to the United States have been unani- mously passed by both houses of the Leg- islature. This is merely a repetition of former action. t An income tax bill has nearly completed | its passage through both houses. Ttis | omy 1 per cent on mcome’above $2000. It | is regarded as a beginning leading to the \mposmon of heavier rates. i In view of certain statements attributed by the San Francisco CALL to Rev. E. R. Diile, D.D., President Dole was this morn- ing asked to express his views. Mr. Dole said: '*As to the financial weaknessof this Government, alleged by Dr. Dille, 1t is true that the extraordinary expenses of last year, growing out of the insurrection and the cholera, did for a time exhaust the surplus of current funds in the treasury. This has now been replaced from current revenue. The Legislature is now complet- will undoubtedly yield alarge surplus over all appropriations, probably a very large one, which is more than can be said of the United States. Our public credit is also so good that our new loan of over $300,000 will be placed on the Honolulu market at 5 per cent interest, or 1 pef cent less than ever before, and the opinion is widely ex- pressed by business men that the bonds would be eagerly taken up at even a lower figure.” Referring to Dr. Dille’s belief in a dan- gerous feeling of unrest among the popula- tion, with tendencies to revolution, the President continued: “There has been no time since the revolution of 1893 when there was such an absence of indications of political unrest as there is to-day. The Portuguese agitation is in no respect di- rected against the Government. There is no appearance whatever of uneasiness among Hawaiians. Only a few days ago Maurice Greenbaum, a leading merchant, revieiting Honoluln, said to me that the present quiet and content were in most happy contrast with conditions during his visit last year, and that the aspect of af- fairs generally was most gratifying.” Next was interviewed the experienced native leader, J. Kauhane, Vice-President of the Senate. He unqualifiedly declared that there was general quiet and content among the natives, without the least trace of political unrest. FRESNO PRISONERS IN CLOVER. They Win a Strike for Three Meals a Day Instead of Two. FRESNO, CAr., June 4. —The trouble be- tween Sheriff, Scott and a majority of the Board of Supervisors over the feeding of prisoners was settled to-day. The Sheriff refused to work prisoners in the chaingang without feeding them three meals a day. The Supervisors refused to allow his bill for more than two meals. District Attor- ney Snow was appealed to and he ruled in favor of Sheriff Scott. The Supervisors were not satisfied with this, and they se- cured the opinion of Attorney H. - \\el:h. Mr. Welsh to-day rendered an inion that prisoners cannot be starved. A‘efll’lfilme the chaingang has been on strike for three meals and Sheriff Scott has sustained them. e SAFE ROBBERXY AT TACOMA. The Standard Oil Company Makes a Small Losing. TACOMA, WasH., June 4.— Burglars blew open the safe in the Standard Oil Company’s warehouse at South Thirty- first and Ainsworth streets, early this morning, taking $43 75 in cash, a promis- sory note for $126 and a small silver watch. The burglars pried the bar over the iron shutters off and entered through the window. It is supposed that two men did the job, as the place was found where the money had been divided, showing where two men had been seated on the ground. It is the custom of the company not to keep money in the safe, but this was drawn out to meet small bills. It is thought the burgiars must have known of this fact. e To Improve Seattle Tide Flats. SEATTLE, Wasa., June 4.— General William Sooy Smith of New York, a dis- tinguished civil engineer, has arrived in Seattle and is in conference with W. F. Hayes, with a view of launching a tide- flat filling scheme involving a reclamation of about five hundred acres of waste land at Smiths Cove, within the city limits. The State has already granted Mr. Hayes a franchise for making the improvement. \ —_— _Fire at Grants Pass. GRANTS PASS, Or., June 4.—At 10 o:clock last night a lamp was upset in the New York racket-store in this city, and in an incredibly short time a loss of about had been sustained by fire and water. The fire department did some of the quigk- est work ever seen in the city, and suc- ceeded in getting the fire under control in apout fifteen minutes. The loss is fully covered by insurance.
