Articles continue to app ear in the Lon
don daily and weekly press, indicating that
the irritation produced by Mr.. Blaine's
Panama dispatch is deep and lasting.
The information from all parts Of the
country announce the prevalence Of the
small pox, which is rapidly spreading
among the Indians in the belt of country
extending from Montana to Idaho. In
spector Hayworth reports to the Indian
Office that the kickapoo Indians in Indian
Territory are in q starving condition. The
Indian Office will relieve them as soon as
possible The authorities of New York
have notified the Chicago Health Com
missioner that the smallpox patients on
the Whestpboiid will be detained in ouaran-
tine until it is safe to ship them. A New
York dispatch in the morning papers says
the small -pox is increasing daily in the
city and vicinity, and great excitement ex
lists. Our State Board of Health has
already taken action looking to the quar-
antine of overland passengers from the
East
st. Petersburg dispatch OF the 25th
says plot has been discovered for a5sas-
sinating the Gar in Caravanian street,
which it was expected he would traverse
while proceeding to the Michael Riding
School, on the occasion of the recent fctc
of St George. 1t is authoritatiyely stated
that nothing could have saved the life Of
the Car had he passed along the street.
The Pope gave the customary Christmas
reception to the Cardinals, of whom twenty
three were in attendance, including the
German Cardinal Hohcnlohe. In reply to
their address the Pope said that his posi-
ton was becoming more and more intoler
| able When he claimed temporal power
in order to secure the independence of
spiritual power, he was accused of being
n rebel and IN enemy to Italy. Catholics
who demanded efficient guarantees for the
freedom of the head of their churchcs
were similarly stigmatized, and pilgrims
to Rome were insulted by the press and
populace. 1t was therefore natural that
Bishops coming to Rome should consider
the existing situation incompatible with
the dignity of the Holy See. His Holiness
said that he expected far more severe per
secutiun i'll the time to come, but he would
endcavor to guide the bark of Peter
through the troubled sea- looking forward
to the moment when God would stem and
calm the tempest.
The following scheme will be of special
interest to the people of the Islands gen
orally, and i'll conjunction with Claus
Spreckels' Sugar Refinery, now in process
of erection at the Potrcro, which will be
the largest and most complete establish
ment OF the kind in the world, will do
much to disabuse the uninitiatcd who may
be inclined to take any stock in the Chroni-
cie'S rabid efforts to prove that the Reel
procity Treaty is an injury to the com
mcrce of the Pacific Slope: Articles of
Company were filed yesterday. This
corporation is formed for the purpose of
establishing steamship line and conduct
ness between this port and the Hawaiian
Islands, or to other ports in the Pacific
Ocean, as the Directors may deem advis-
able. The Directors are Charles Goodall,
Claus Spreckels. Jas. DcFremery f.. l..
G. Steele, FL. l.. Tubbs, Gustavc Touchard
and G. A. Spreckcls The capital stock is
S2,50O,00O, divided into 25,O0O shares, of
which Charles Goodall subscribes for
$500, Claus Spreckels 1900, G. A. Spreckcls
$500, George A. Low 1000, T.. l.. G.
Steele 1000, A. l.. Tubbs $50 and Gustave
Touchard $50. 1t is the intention to have
the company and their vessels in good
working order as soon as possible. and
ey>>Jthing is being done to that end at
present. The fleet of sailing vessels now
running to the Hawaiian Islands in the
Sprcckcls line and owned by them will be
turned over to the new corporation, and
two first class steamships will be immcdi
ately chartered and semi monthly at once
established between here and Honolulu.
1t is not unlikely that new steamships will
be built for the line, and with steam and
tho fine fleet of clippers now in service in
r. al, Il,
fame by remarkable passages, success is
assured to the new enterprise The affairs
of the company will probably be managed
by Claus Spreckols and his entcrprising
sons, and it is not unlikely that in the
near future we shall hear of branch lines
to Tahiti or elsewhere, as inducements
offer.
The Chronicle of this morning INDUCES
in leading editorial in ventilating its
slushy ideas on what it terms the Zone
Horse Kingdom " of Hawaii, which makes
exceedingly amusing and sensational read
ing, even to those who are unacquainted
with Hawaiian affairs. 1t is evident that
the mud machine is preparing itself for
another TRADE on Island affairs. and the
impression is that the presence of Hon, H.
A. +. Carter, who is sojourning ut the
Palace will receive thorough overhauling
as to the objects of his intended mission
The W, N. Diamond arrived on the 23d,
in 20 days, and the Clans Sprcckeis in %
days from Kahului The Discovery arrived
on the 18th in l6 days, the II. ". 1lmy in
81, and the Pomdre in Is days from
kahului.
1t is probable that the British steamer
Deronshi~, which arrived from Hongkong
on the 22d, will touch at Honolulu on her
return rs she brought over number Of
Chinese laborers for the Islands.

left Now Bedford ON the 9th for whaling
