THE PLAGUE Heroic Efforts Taken at Honolulu Check the Disease. Over 200,000 Men to Fight the Boers. ' MANY SITUATION. to San Francisco. Feb. 3.—The steamer Australia, seven days from Honolulu, arrived today and rejorts that up to the time of her departure, 41 deaths from plague had occurred, and there was a total of 52 cases. The Australia bad on board 175 passengers, the larg est number which ever came to thia port on a single steamer from the Hawaiian islands. In an effort to stamp out the plague, it was decided to burn one of the blocks in Chinatown. The fire was started, and it gained such headway that the tire department could not control it. The tiames spread rapidly from one block to another, and soon the whole Chinese quarter was destroyed. Hard ly a house was left standing in the dis trict. The Chinese and other residents if the district fled from their homes in terror, and were unable to save much of their effects. As a result of the destruction of the Chinese quarter, 7,000 people were rendered homeless, and they are now living in tents. The fire destroyed 12 blocks, bound ed by Kukui, Queen and Nunau streets. The most notable building burned was the Kaumakakpili, a prominent land mark, and the most comfortable edifice of its kind in Honolulu. It contained a large pipe organ, valued at $5,000. The steamship Iroquois rendered valu able aid. She put out two lines of hose which saved the Honolulu iron works. The Australia’s passengers were taken off and placed in the quarrantine station at Angel island, where they will remain till tomorrow. According to advices from Honolulu, the transport Aztec, which left this port for Hilo, with 400 mules and horses, may not attempt to land her cargo at Hilo. Lighters would have to be employed, as the wharf there can not accommodate the Aztec. At pres ent the weather conditions are such that the horses cannot be landed safely, and it is exacted that the Aztec will have to return to Honolulu. There was a small riot at the deten tion camp at Honolulu the night of the 22d, owing to the refusal of the author ities to allow the Japanese to burn a lot of new lumber for fuel purposes, and I »cause they were restrained from burning a new cottage in which one of their number had died of the plague. The arrival of the reserves ended the troubles, and a careful watch is being kept, as the Japanese are exceedinlgy sullen and some have armed themselves with clubs. Affairs at Hilo have quieted, and no more trouble is expected. II UULU I1UI IILIIII 1IUUUL RICH ORE SAMPLES. Mrs. W.mth.rred Colleeting • Mla.ral Exhibit to Tak« te N.w OrlMMts.

With the exception of woolen man- factures, the chief industries have met less new business in January than last year, though deliveries on previous con tracts have been larger than a year ago. Wheat rose 1 cent, but soon reacted. Atlantic exports were only 1,466,59* bushels, flour included, for the week. Pacific exports have been 4,209,300 bushels in five weeks, against 3,670,864 bushels last year. Speculation in cotton has raised th« price to cents, without improve ment in the demand. The receipts from plantations still fall so far behind last year’s that low estimates of yield . <• are expected. Wool is rather weaker in some grades, but stronger in others, so that the average of quotations is steady, not withstanding some sales at concessions. The iron and steel industry is so far tied up by contracts reaching through most of the year, that the effect of pro duction exceeding consumption is felt only in some instances.
