Meeting of the Board of immigration.

A meeting of the Board Of immigration
was convened at the Office Of the Minister Of
Interior for yesterday at 1890 M. At tho
time named the members Of the Board were
assembled, viz: His Tx. II. A. p. Garter,
President Their Excellencies W. l.. Green
and Walker, Hons. Kapena and Smith Hon.
A. F. Judd now ON circuit being the only
member of the board absent. Planters and
agents and all interested in the labor question
were invited to attend and some fifteen or
twenty gentlemen were present, including
leading members Of the firms Of Bishop g. Co.,
Hackfeld 81 Co., Brewer & Co., Davies, Castle
g. Cooke, etc. The President opened the bust
ness Of the day with an explanation Of the
financial position of tho board, by which il APP
pears that Of the appropriations made by the
lato Legislature only about $1,000 remains
unexpended of the rest, $4,000 have been in :
vested Ia thA fnrtherance Of immigration from
tho South Sea- islande. The board has now at
sea three vessels HpToii, S,O mbird and
Pomars. Should these vessels prove successful
we may expect some 400 people up from tho
South Seas within the next few months. A
sketch Of their proposed cruise was given In .
former issue. The President then reminded
those present that circular was sent round to
employers of South Sea labor last March and
informed then, that twenty Ave ans wers bad
been received OF these, twenty -four were
favorable and one unfavorable. Six classed
them as equal TO Chinese, ten AZ superior, one
az inferior; the others compared them with
Hawaiians, and were about equally divided ns
10 their relative merits. Tho death rate
amongst the South Sea people is not yet strict
ly asccrtainabie, but is confined mainly TO very
old people. OF those who came up In tho
Hacaii several were ia an unsatisfactory state
Of health, which was attributed in great mes-
sure to the exposure and short rations expert
epced on board the Nicokius, followed by their
detention at JAluit, where they were able to
get at liquor and lived an unsccustomed and
to them unwholesome life. II is hoped, how
ever, that by more careful recruiting aud by
the benefit OF experience . stronger set Of peo.
pie may be introduced.
In answer u question from the President,
1 Mr.. Along gaze az his opinion that II would DO
very dihlcuk TO get respectable unmarried
Chinese wos,en TO smigrats. A conversation
followed 10 the courss Of which Mr.. P6ager
enumerated the number Of smigrants which

pitched and the game begin soon after noon.
II. g. G. went in first and sent X. Scrimgcour
and 7. Lishman to open the game and face tho
bowling Of Lieut.. Fleet and Bishop. The
fielding Of the Ganncts was very good, and MS
the game progressed wickets began to 60
down, not unfreguently by reason Of some
what rash running. The largest score of the
frat innings was made by Mr.. Ed. Purvis,
who carried his bat out for H. The total was
only a, which led the Gannets to hope for
success. They began by sending in May aud

Tho Board are prepared to assist the i'm
migration of women and children M far ~
their means permit, but laid down en-
phatically the rulo that they cannot on their
own account import labor, but that the planters
must help themselves.
Mr. Atherton speaking for his own firm and
Mcssrs. Austin, stated II AZ undcnablc that
the advance system is prolific OF evils. so
surely IA a gang Of timc.cxpircd tramps visits
plantation, az surely some man just at tho
end OF his term volunteers 10 resbip for heavy
advance, which il shared with the tramps who
then clear out. Tho man who has had the adj
vance deserts soon after and the planter in
left in the lurch. Mr.. Austin has act his faco
against the advance sys,om, and IL is to be
hoped that othor employers may find their
way to doing the same.
Upwards Of 900 applications Tor South
Sea ldborcrs are ut present before the Board.
European laborers are for the most part con-
tracted for at 50 TO $40 for men AMI Sc Tor wo-
men per month for three years. Only two
time expired South Sea people demanded their
return passage home; 1t was granted them,
but when they discovered that they alone were
going they backed out and safd they would
wait until n larger number Of their country
folks wished to go. The Portuguese as n whole
have given satisfaction especially as transfers.
1t remains TO be proved how Norwcgiaps will
| stand work in this climate: however the labor
question is being fully tiiscwssed and cannot
fail Of being act on more favorable footing as
| il is more thoroughly understood and earnest
ly taken in hand by the planters themselves.

no, the Hawaiian Minister Plenipotentiary to
us, discredits the statement tolegraphcd from
San Francisco yesterday to the effect that tho
King of the Hawaiian Islands had Withdrawn
the extraordinary powers conferred on him
(Moreno), and he adds that no such telegram
as is described has ever reached him. He re-
garded tho story that the King has, changed
his policy as erroneous, while he maintains,
on the strength of his knowledge touching Ha-
waiian affairs, that such Cabinet as il mon
toned is not one which the King would DO
likely to select.

partments here everything is quiet, a. almost
all the heads of tho bureaus are out of towr.

Diminishing him absolutely from all Office under
