SAN Francisco, August 30.-The Chi
nese steamer Ho Chung arrived this after
noon from Canton via Honolulu. She
landed about $50 Chinese passengers at
Honolulu. 1t will depend upon the in
structions Of her commander relative to
the length Of her stay in port, whether she
will pay extra duties aud discharge cargo
at once, or await the action Of the United
States Government on the subject. By
files OF the Honolulu papers it appears that
q lively contest has been going on lately in
the Islands in regard to the Chinese ques-
ton. The pro-Chinese party, headed by
C@sar Celso Moreno, evidently succeeded
in capturing King Kalakaua, although the
great minority Of the Legislature, the bet
ter portion Of the foreign and native popu-
lation and press strongly opposed them.
The King dissolved the two Cabinets op-
posed to his wishes and formed q third,
headed by Moreno. Meantime the leading
commercial interests signed petitions to
the Foreign Minister and other officials,
and brought so strong Q pressure to bear
that the King found it necessary to with
draw from his position, and the Moreno
confreres. after five days lease OF power,
gave up their portfolios. The principal
point OF issue was the question Of subsi-
dizing q line Of Chinese steamers, Moreno
having been sent to the Islands by the Chi
nese to further their designs.

and the loose way of keeping accounts,
etc., decided that he should pay plaintiff
