FROM HONOLULU
Bubonic Plague Raging in
the Capital cf Hawaii.
San Francisco, Dec 28.-The army
i transports Centennial and Newport
. which arrived here last night irom
Manila, via Honolulu, brings the
startling news that the bubonic
plague is raging in the capital city
of the Hawaiian islands It is un
derstood that the scourge was
Y brought into Honolulu by vessels
from one of the infected ports of
China
The news of the breaking cut of
the plague in Honolulu, brought here
by the transport Centennial, has
created some alarm among the State
and city health officiais, and every
precaution is being taken to prevent
a possible admission of the disease
into the city The transports Cen
tennis! and Newport, which arrived
j last night, and the Tartar, which
J arrived from Manila today, are now
j at the quarantine station undergoing
ij fumigation and will be detained at
Angel island for some time. The
steamer Gaelic is due here tomorrow
from the Orient, via Honolulu, and
will be sent to quarantine and held
r/ there until all possible danger is
passed
News from reliable sources in the
Orient is to the effect that the
k disease is pievalent in China and
Japan to an unusual extent and that
the officers at Manila have taken
precautions to prevent the plague
from getting a foothold there News
' from Bombay is to the effect that the
plague is rampant in India, and in
view of these conditions the authori
ties in this city aud'every port on the
Pacific coast will take strenuous
precautions to prevent the introduc
tion of the bubonic plague on this
coast.
ENTRENCHED FILIPINOS AT
TACKED AND ROUTED.
Manila, Dec 27, 10 50 p m -Col
Lockett, with a force of 2,500, in
cloding artillery, this morning attack
a strong force of insurgents entrench
ed in the mountains near Mentalban,
about five miles northeast of San
Mateo. The enemy was completely
.i routed, the Americans pursuing them
through the hills amid which they
B^tt?ed in every direction
Four Americans were wounded
The Filipino loss was large, resulting
" irom a heavy infantry and artillery
fire for three hours into the trenches
It is supposed that the insurgents
were those driven out of San Meteo
.n the day Gen Lawton was killed.
They numbered probably a thousand
A dozen lines of insurgents7 trenches
covered the steep trail through the
kills and likewise the valley below,
along which the Americans passed.
' . The main attacking party consisted
of the Forty sixth volunteer infantry,
a troop of cavalry and artillery, Col
Lockett commanding in person The
rest of the command operated from
remote points in an endeavor to carry
out Col Lockett's plan of throwing
his line around the enemy and thus
? eat off retreat.
The nature of the mountainous
couotrj made it impracticable to ex
.?^cote this movement successfully
After the insurgents began to run
there was a vain attempt to use
artillery.
It now appears that one American
was killed in the attack upon the
Snbig garrison yesterday by Gen
Santa Ana
Head lt and Went Home.
The Eveniog Gazette of Norwalk,
Conn, says editorially :
"Gov McSweeney of South Carolins,
who is a veteran newspaper man. rather
than the southern ideal of college bred,
law trained statesman, seems, however,
to be driviog the gubernatorial chariot
with signal force and ability The
Democratic party might do worse, as
they probably will, than to make the
journalist governor Bryan's running
mate."
The paragracb when ?bown to Gov
MoSweeaey yesterday caused bim to
smile and announce that be was going
back to bis old borne at Haicptoo for
a few days. He left on the cex; train.

New York, Dec 28 -James Gres
ham cf Brooklyn has found capital to
j demonstrate the commercial value oi
hie corkscrew boat, for which ie an
ticipated a speed of 50 miles per
hour A syndicate of New York
capitalists has agreed to furnish
$50 OOO with which to build a small
boat ou the cockscrew plan with the
furtner understanding that if it
demonstrates its ability on a commer?
cial scale to approximate the speed
which the models have reached, the
syndicate will furnish sufficiet capital
to build a mail boat The inventer
promises that bis craft will cross the
Atlantic is Ie38 than three days. The
vessel, the construction of which is
being arranged for at the Newport
News shipyards, is not intended for
passenger service, but only for the
conveyance of mails and fast freight
and for use in life saving stations
It is so constructed that ic can pene
trate the surf or the waves of the
roughest water The boat is cyiin
drical in shape, with a serpentine
flange like a corkscrew entending
frow bow to stern, and the outer shell
revolves through the water, while the
inner compartment maintains its

Postal Abuses.
Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster
General, in his annual report, devotes
considerable attention to the abuse o?
second-class matter. He says :
"The most argent need of the postal
service is the rectification cf the enor
moos wroogs which have grov?o up io
tue perversion and abase of the privi
lege accorded by law to second-class
mattsr
* For tbis costly abuse which drags
on the department and weighs dowo
tbe service, trammels its power and
means of effective advancement in
every direction, invokes a ebeer.
wanton waste of $20,000,000 or more
a year. The postal deficit for the
current year is ?6 610,776. Bat for
this wrongful application cf the second*
cla?>s rate, instead of a deficit there
would be a clear surplus of many
millions. It is now proposed to restrict
j the privileges of legitimate publications
or to modify the design cf thc Jaw, but
only to bring back its application to its
original and just scope."
As to the oharaoter of the abuses
which ?ead to this loss, Mr. Smith says :
"The first is the paper covered books
pot oat ooder pretense of being serial
publications They have nothing of the
nature of periodicals. They do not pos
ses; a single one of the attributes which
Congress meant to require io publica?
tions that should be eotitled to the sec
ood-oiass rate. Their 'consecutive norn
i beriog' is a traversity ; their issoance at
'stated intervals' a parcdy ; their 'sub
j soripticn list' a fiction ; their claitu of
I being published 'for the dissemination
of ioformation of a public character'a
burletqae. There is nothing to disrin
gui*h them io substance from bound
books, and the discrimination in their
favor is most unjust to the publishers of
finer literature.
"The second abuee is connected with
the advertising 'house organ' and the
so called trade journal. One of my pre- J
deoessors. Postmaster General Bisseil,
charaoteiized it as the 'bogus trade
journal 1 There ?re many geou ne
trade journals which are as legitimate
as any periodical and justly eotitled to
all their privileges.
"These are rot included io the criti?
cisms. But the trade journal described
is simply an advertising scheme It is
not designed to disseminate information
of a publie oharaoter, and has no stand?
ing as che exponent of ac j trade or io?
dustry. These prints do cot conform
in any just seose to the requirements of
the law, but effer only a nominal and
teobnical conformity.
"Tbs third abuso grows out of the
privilege of sample oopies. The sample
oopy of a regularly admitted paper or
periodical, counting for support upon
its merits is presumably designed to
ioduoe a new subscription by exhibiting
its merits in a new quarter. But, as a
matter of fact, io many instances the
sample copy bas become oot the indivi?
dual exhibit, but the potential cloak of
j a thousand times multiplied distribution
j without regard to subscriptions, and
solely" as the plea and pledge for
advertising.
"The difficulty must be cured by the
law-making power. The points to be
reached are clear and well defioed. It
is vital to reestablish io their proper
classification and forbid the privilege
of tbe pound rate to serial libraries of
books, to bouse organs' and other
sheets of an exclusive advertising char?
acter, to samplo editions for advertising
purposes, to advertising oirculars which
I are masked under the names of fraternal
! societies, to returns b) oews agents of
; uosoid periodicals, and to schemes by
which publishers pervert their preroga
tives by sending matter in their own
names at the poona rate for advertisers
and purchasers who uave not thc
privilege " \?

THE F?t?T
[ts Coming is Looked Forward to
"With Bot? Joy and Fear and it3
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by Ail.
Tho arrival of the first baby in the
household is tho happiest and most im?
portant event of married life. The young
wife who i:- to become a motlier deii.shts
to thinkof the happiness in store for her
when tlie little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother."
Blither happy anticipation quickly van?
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at?
tend child-birth; they know that by
the use of "Mother's ."^iend"-a scien?
tific liniment-for a few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event :s-e entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with com?
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es?
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such a remedy ; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan?
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth?
er's Friend** is woman's greatest bles?
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
"Before Baby is Born," which contains
information of great value to all. It
will be sent free to any one who sends
their addrass to The Bradfield Regu?
