Crime Among Coolies.

To The Editor Of The Commercial -fdrertiscr
Dear Sir From reading the leader of your last
NUMBER, and a correspondence in the same, | see
that great fault is found with the Ordinance No. ! Of
the King in Privy Council, of February 18th. The
writer of the above article would seem to consider it
an interference with the rights Of private parties
that the Government should exercise exclusive con-
control over the immigration of laborers from abroad.
|, with a good many others, had been under the i'm
preston that : private enterprise had had its way
here before this in the matter of importatiOus Of COO
lies from China, and that the results had not been
quite satisfactory. In order to bring this vague i'm
preston into a tangible shape, | took the liberty to
address our efficient Marshal. W. c. Parke, Esq,
with the object of Obtaining reliable statistical data
Chinese cooIie population during the last ten years.

every one knows that our Chinese merchants are a

from them. which Mr.. Parke has most oblieinglY
placed at my disposal
MARsHALs OFFICE, HoSoLULr. March %. 1865.
~. HHe6rGHd, II. D-Sir:-Herewith l beg to transmit
memorandum Of Chinese criminals received at Oahu Prison,
Honolulu, from 1882 to 1861. inclusive, showing the whole num-
Der so committed. with the crime of each prise. er.
Since 1854, as compared with the whole number Of native
male prisoners, the Chinese criminals in the Oahu Prison have
previous corpor nj punishment, or severe bodily injuries that it
may reasonably he supposed would not be received in an ordi-
nary, quiet life. -
Tesiies the above. :here have been a number Of Chinese i'm
priSOned IN the jals on Hawaii. Maui and Kauai, the partjcu-

OIL and Bone in Hawaiian ships.

BY the following official correspo ndence, received

it appears that oil and bone, the product of the

SIR II have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of your letter Of the 10Th inst, enclosing, for
my consideration, a copy Of q letter from the Hon
orable Elisha II. Allen, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentary of His Hawaiian Majesty to
the United States, in reference 20 the payment Of 4
duty OF ten per cent. upon oil and Bone, the pro-
duction Of the American fisheries, shipped from the
Hawaiian Islands to ports in the United States, in
vessels under the HaJcaiiaH dug, and requesting
my decision on the point submitted.
am Of the opinion that the Treaty of Friendship,
Commerce and Navigation, between the United
States of America and His Majesty, the King Of the
Hawaiian Islands, concluded at Washington Deem
Der 10Th, 1919; ratified 4th February, 1850 ex-
changed oath August, 1850; proclaimed 9th No
vember, 1850; is entirely reciprocal in its character.
SO far as relates to the direct trade in the products
Of either country, and that, consequently, Oil and
Bone imported as above stated, are exempted from
the imposition of the ten per cent. duty, as is more
particularly set forth in the 18th section Of the Act
approved June so, 1864.
