A~NTI-CHINEsE BMLs.-Senator Neumann to-day
introduced three bills, embodying his ideas of eff
fective Chinese legislation. His Free Migration
bill provides that any one who prohibits or inter
feres with free migration from the State is guilty
of a felony, punishable by Imprisonment for not
moreithan FIVE years or by a fine of not ess than
$1,000 nor more than $4,000, or by both. Cor
porations interfering with free migration are gull
ty OF a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not less
than 5000, nor more than $50, 900. Fines con-
stitute a lien upon the property of corporations.
The Mongolian bill enaets that no person nor cor
poration holding or using any special privilege or
in or about the business connected with or relating
to such privilege or franchise, any Chinese or Mon
golians. Violation of this Act is a misdemeanor,
punishable by forfeiture of franchise and "a 6ne of
not more than $1,000. The Act is to take effect
thirty days after passage. The third bill provides
that no corporation shall hereafter be formed un-
its articles set forth that neither it nor its en-
ployes will employ Chinese.

majority Of the members, and that some measures
will be proposed for the purpose of putting a stop
to the further immigration of Chinese unaccom-
panied by their women. Even If he comes
with his woman, the Chinaman is not a very
desirable immigrant; but coming as a single
man, he is a menace to the independence and the
very existence of the Hawaiian.
The subject Of Chinese immigration is begin
ming to attract serious attention in Europe. In a
thoughtful article in the AnHales de FErfreme
Orient. published in Paris, it is boldly predict
ed that the Chinese question will become as
urgent in Europe as it now is in America. The
isolation of the Chinese lie a thing of the past,
says the writer, and in a century, if not sooner,
We are told the Chinese will become the princi-
pal workman element. not only in America, but
in Europe. The European race, says the ARnaIes'
is aristocratic; generally disliking manual labor;
it aspires to everything except the obscure life OF
the working man. Moreover, the future genera
ton will find itself face to face with the question
Of how to procure hands for handwork. 1t is here
that the Chinese race will come admirably in to
fill up the gap. In fifty years steam navigation
will transport the Chinese at fabulous low prices
to all parts of the world. We shall see arise in
the cities of Europe Chinese quarters, which will
cause discomfort among our working classes, with
whom they will have seriously to reckon, and the
Chinese element will end by fixing itself among
US like the Jews. This Chinese emigration. we
are told, is no Utopia, and we shall see the Chi
nese workmen in Europe sooner than we think

e. AFoNG, ESQ, known officially as Chun
Fong, Esq, the Chinese Commercial Agent of the
Chinese Empire in the Hawaiian Kingdom, dis
played, on last Thursday, the 1lth inst, from a
flagstaff placed in the grounds connected with
his elegant residence on Nuuanu Street, the Off
cial flag designating his position in affairs dipl0-
m~ahque, and was the first unfolding on Hawaii
an soil of the Chinese Imperial standard. The
occurrence was highly gratifying to the feelings
Of our Chinese merchants of the city, and they,
to add eclat to the occasion, furnished the Royal
Hawaiian Band, while the Look Sun Foon (Chi-
nese Theatre) complimented Mr.. Chun FOng also
by being present. Precisely at noon the typical
emblem of Celestial power displayed itself to the
gaze Of the gathered throng, being hoisted into
position by His Excellency Chu Wo Kwin, a Chi
nese Minister, who arrived here lately from
Washington.
The flag is in the form OF a right-angled TRAN
gle, or burgee, the groundwork yellow, with
blue edges. and in the center is a blue dragon,
having the imperial appendages of nine claws.
During the afternoon their Excellencies Samuel
G. Wilder, Simon K. Kaai and John NJ. Kapena,
paid an unofficial friendly visit, while His Majesty
the King rendered his congratulations through
the Minister OF Foreign Affairs. After the flag
raising, refreshments were served, and as an ad-
denda 10 commemorate the occasion the Chinese
Theatre Company kept open doors and allowed
free entrance to all visitors to performance during
two days. We are indebted to the ~politenss of
Mr.. Chung Lung for the foregoing particulars.
We learn also, that Mr.. Along has resigned his
position as a member of the Kings Privy Coun-
Gil OF State.

UNDER the head of By Authority in to-day's
paper will be found the Royal proclamation con-
vening the Legislative Assembly for its regular
session, beginning on Friday, the last day of
April. On the opening day the Royal Speech is
delivered, after which the House proceeds to
organize by the election of officers. There are in
all forty-seven members-nineteen Mobiles, in
GLIDING the four Cabinet Ministers, who hold
seats e~x-OfdciO, and twenty-eight Representatives.
As we understand that Government will bring
forward the biennial bill of appropriations early
in the session, and as they will be prepared be-
forehand with such measures as they intend to
propose, it may reasonably be expected that the
Assembly will be ready for final adjournment by
the end Of June. But experience has taught us
that the native members as a rule are intermin-
abe s~peechmakers, and there is no telling what
impossible measures or frivolous questions may
be brought up with which to fritter away the
time. On the part of the Government we under
stand that one of the principal measures to be
brought forward will be an act for the amend
ment and consolidation of the taxation laws, and
as a corollary to such act, a revision and con-
solicitation of the election laws. These are much
needed measures. 1t is further IN contemplation
to revise and consolidate the license laws, partic-
ularly these regulating the traffic in wines, ales
and spirits. 1t is probable that a proposition
will be made to repeal the restriction on the sale
to native Hawaiians, but as we are advised it will
not come from the Ministry. In the same way,
the question of again licensing the sale of opium
to the Chinese will probably be brought forward.
We hear also that there is some talk of an act for
the establishment Of a mint for the coinage of
Hawaiian dollars and halves, that will stay
with US. A good move. Numerous propositions
for internal improvements will of course be
ventilated by country members. Altogether,
the session will be an important one.

PEsTILANoE IN SEWERS The authorities of one of
the largest hospitals in London lately took measures
to ventilate all the drains and sewers connected with
their institutions. Up to the time these alterations
were made, pyemia and e~rysipelas had almost driven
this medical staff to despair. When the whole of the
ventilation was completed and as soon as the pres
sure was removed from the traps of the closets and
lavatories, no fresh case was found to occur. For
months the hospital wards were free from both cry
sipelas and py@mia. Suddenly, however, there was
a fresh outbreak of these diseases, but it was noticed
that the epidemic was confined to one of the surgical
wards, built apart from the main bulldog. on the
paw lion plan. and haring only one story. Close in
vestigation proved that the ventilla ton pipe in this
wing had been stopped up by q careless workman.
When this was remedied all traces of the epidemic
dissppeared.-[San Jose Tribune.
