SoOe Chinese, at HOngkOng, are awaiting transit
to the colonies, chiefly to CoOktown and Townsville.
The exports for the past year amounted to $780,
coo. The wool alone reached 81 400, 900.
At an Anti-chinsse meeting, resolution was pass
ed urging the Government to take steps to prevent
influx Of Chinese, especially to the Northern gold
fields.
With reference to the influx Of Chinese into the
colony, correspondent writes Our colony is being

coming by thousands. 1t is very doubtful whether
the people will stand this.

THE Cyphrenes took away some twenty sa-
loon passengers, most of whom had to pay a
premium of $50 to $50 in addition to the regu-
lar fare of SIS. This causes much complaint
on the part of the travelling public; but we can
see no permanent remedy until larger vessels
are laid on. 1t is well known that the steam
ers now in the service were not built for pas
senger accommodation, but as freight boats, and
were secured temporarily. During the Spring
season there is always a crowd of passengers
moving from Australia as well as from this port
to California. And it is chiefly at this period
that there is a lack of accommodations for
those who seek passage from this port. The
only remedy is to patronize our sailing pack
cts. The new steamers, whenever laid on, will
doubtless have ample freight and passenger ac-
commodations for the increasing traffic on the
route between Australia and California.
THE RECIPROCITY TREATY having been ap-
proved and signed by the King, was forwarded
to Washington yesterday by Peter C. Jones Jr.
Esq, who was appointed bearer of dispatches.
When signed by President Grant, as it will I'M
questionably be, its amendments having all been
approved here, the notifications will be compile
ted, and the treaty will be law of the land so
far as the treaty making power of each country
can make it. To render it operative, it is nee
essary that Congress amend the revenue laws,
to conform with its provisions. AS no case has
ever occurred where Congress has refused to en-
II
as relates to treaties, it is not probable that
that body will enter its veto in this case, espe-
cially when the political and commercial advan-
tages are so clearly in favor ofthe United States.
The treaty will go into force at such time as
the Presidents proclamation shall fix, probably
soon after the passage of the law relating to it.
The treaty does not require any special act of
the Hawaiian Legislature, though this body
will doubtless formally approve it when it as
sembles in April or May next.

line would still find it convenient TO call here on
the voyage, freight or no freight. This being the
case, it is certain that many passengers to and
from Australia would stay over here a few weeks,
It the benefit Of all parties. The Hawaiian
Government would of course readily extend all
the favors to a steamship enterprise inaugurated
here that have or may be accorded TO the boats
Of a foreign line.
The total amount Of freight outward from this
port 70 san Francisco in 1874 was about IL 900
tons, and the inward freight amounted to nearly
as much-say 20, 900 tons in all. This at So per
ton is 100000 paid for freights. The total of
passengers arriving and departing for the year
was (adults) S47, which at $50 each would make
S42,350 more, or a grand total for our freight
and passenger traffic Of S162,350 per annum at
present,-with all the probabilities Of large in
crease in the future. We have made no calculs-
ton as yet for any subsidy that such an enterprise
migh, reasonably look for from the American, if
not from the Hawaiian Government.
The project here suggested may to some appear
at fret glance TO be a bold If not a rash one, with
the chances in favor Of a loss on those who should
undertake 1t. But, " nothing ventured nothing
gained" Surely, with our experience in steam
ship trade we should be able to judge as to the
possibility Of making the enterprise a paying one.
II the project could be hopefully and energetically
started, 1t might result in our having, what we
80 much need, swift, safe and commodious
steamships plying between here and San Fran
cisco, and not slow and dangerous " tubs" like
the MohOHgO. Then might Honolulu become the
terminal port for two lines Of splendid steamers
connecting us, one with Japan and China, and
the other with the ports Of New Zealand and
Australia. The great trouble in the former COZ
necti0n Of the Australian line was the fact of
their transferring their passengers from splendid,
rooney, ships on the upward route at this port,
to inferior, cramped aud unsafe vessels between
here and San Francisco. The travelling public
very naturally were Disguised with the arrange
ment, and the route was avoided. Besides, the
freight Accommodations were so meagre that ship
pers here had to wait and ascertain if the incom-
ing steamer brought freight to fill the connecting
boat, before they were sure of any privilege.
Now if we take the matter of steam communion
ton with San Francisco into our own hands,
with proper management all the difficulties and
annoyances observed in the past can be avoided,
and a new and healthy impulse be given to bust
ness and trade in every direction. These sugges-
tions, we opine, are worthy of consideration /;
and we will add, in conclusion, that if the pro-
ject of independent steam communication between
these islands and the coast is at all feasible, now
appears to be the time to make the attempt.

Ann ELIAS Elimony Denied.

The Friend for this month reafirms its position
that Ann Eliza was not Brigham Young's wife
within the meaning Of the laws Of the United States,
or the common law and quotes ancient legal
authority to &" the youngest paper in the Pacific as
to the definition Of alimOny. The Friend, after some
very sound remarks on the subject, rather archly
concludes by saying" Perhaps We should apologize
for presuming to quote from Blackstone and a LaD
Journal, when referring to a newspaper having three
lawyers upon its editorial staff"
The mail which arrived this week, however, brings
the intelligence that the law Of the case as laid down
by our venerable contemporary is confirmed, as
follows:
SALT LAKE CITY, May 10Th, 1875.
In the case Of Ann Eliza rs. Brigham Young,
application Of plaintiff for a writ of attachment to
compel payment Of the $500 per month alimony,
pendente lite, from the time Of the commencement of
the SUIT, nearly two years ago, as awarded by Chief
Justice Mexican, a decision was rendered to-day by
Chief Justice Lowe 1t is quite lengthy and may be
summarized as follows In all cases Of divorce the
law was plain, and the authorities overwhelming,
that alimony could not be awarded uuless a void
marriage was either first admitted by the parties OF
proved. The defendant had alleged in his answer
that the marriage in question was a bigamous and a
polygamous one, AMI the allegations not being denied,
must be taken as true. If such a marriage was
entered into ignoantly By defendant equity will
open its doors for her relief, but upon the case as it
stands it is not, in the judgment of the Court, ac-
cording TO the principle of equity or good conscience
to enforce the payment of al interim alimony. 1t
appears from the record that the alleged marriage
was celebrated in this city. and that the plaintiff and
defendant both reside in this city. 1t cannot. there
fore, be a difficult or expensive duty for the plaintiff
TO place upon record a confirmation or some expla-
nation of the unexampled and extraordinary allega-
tions made, if any just explanation exists; and the
Court holds that such explanation is due TO the
common principles of equity and public justice before
proceeding further in the direction sought. 1t would
be strange, indeed, if upon such q state of facts, un-
controverted by any rule of pleading or of law, and
unextenuated by any evidence it could be imposed as
payment of alimony and thus bestow apparent. if
not, indeed, real sanction of the law upon a practice
which is hostile to the civilization of the age and
which the penal statutes Of the land visit with con-
dign punishment.
The motion for an attachment is denied and the
rule discharged.

this manner they have the government forces st their
mercy. General Valmaseia is endeavoring to
strengthen his mounted force, but that is not easy to
do at this time. Horses are not to be procured in
any considerable number. The Cubans either donate
them to the patriots or secrete them in the Businesses
of the hills This cripples the government troops
and prevents them from assuming an offensive cam
paign even if they desired to advance under Present
circumstance. When General Valmaseda left Ha-
yana it was with the announced intention cf exyell-
ing Gomez and his supporters-from all the territory
west Of the Trocha. But no such results have been
accomplished. On the contrary, the Spaniards are
locked up in aud near Colon, while the patriots are
rowing the country, doing all the mischief possible 10

results Of war.
