Captain Glenn, the agent of the
famous passenger steamer Charles
Morgan, received a telegram from
Captain Stein. her commander, stating
that he would be here to leave TO-
morrow morning ut 10 o'clock for New
Orleans, making all principal way
landings. The Morgan is always on
time and carries more passengers than
any other steamer owing to her great
reputation as a safe and reliable
carrier. She runs on schedule time,
feeds we'll and has palatial accommo-
datiOns. Harry Stein, a prince Of
good fellows, is her chief clerk, and
he makes everybody at home that
travels on the Morgan.
The New Orleans Times. of Friday,
says The United States supervising
inspectors of steam vessels pronounce
the steamboats, in this inspection dis
trict inspected by them to be in a
most excellent condition. During the
last three months no casualty worthy
OF the name has taken place. In fact,
no three months of any previous year
have so clear a record, or have been so
free of disaster of any kind. The in
spectOrs claim no particular credit for
this state Of things, but attribute it
largely to the cheerful cooperation Of
the owners, agents and masters OF
steamboats,, in helping them CARRY ont
the requirements Of their circular,
issued last December, regarding the
use of intoxicating liquors by their
licensed officers. The efforts of the
inspectors and owners have not only
conferred the boon of comparative
safety upon the travelling public, but
have brought it about that many an
engineer and pilots home now pos
sesses a cheerful and prosperous APP,
pearance long absent therefrom. The
rule has proved itself to be a good one,
and may now be considered perma-
nent.

The Chinese are reported as making
trouble in Tahiti, not only in the way
they have done it in California, New
Zealand, Australia and elsewhere. but
also in other and peculiar respects.
They have introduced opium smoking,
to which the natives threaten to be-
come addicted to an alarming extent.
COncubinage is another feature they
have grated uponi Tahitian society.
This they did also in the Sandwich Is
lands, where, by reason of the scarcity
OF women, it has caused especial in
d%ignation. The labor market in the
Society Islands is limited, and the
Chinese are mostly in business for
themselves but being able to live on
less than their white competitors, who
are mainly French, the retail trade is
rapidly passing wholly into their hands.
Whatever market there is for labor,
they also monopolize. Formerly the
vessels sailing around the islands had
white cooks, but now they are Chinese.
The government has been petitioned
Tor measures to remedy this state Of
things. 1t is proposed, as it was in
california, to prohibit the Celestials
from owning real estate or t~ransacting
business without paying heavily for
license.
