PUBLIC FEELING is fully aroused on the
subject of the wholesale landing upon our
shores of hOrJes OF Chinese males. And as
an evidence of how fully alive the Govern
ment is to the eXigences OF the case, we
would say that at a meeting of His Maiesty's
Cabinet held on Saturday last, authority
was given to the Minister of Foreign AT
fairs to take steps to express the protest of
His Majesty's Government in the matter
and the determination not to allow large
bodies of Chinese male immigrants to land
here. The action of the Cabinet in this
matter was forwarded to II. NJ. Consul at
San Francisco, with instructions to cahel
the same to tie Hawaiian C"onSul-General
at HOngkong, that through him the British
authorities there might have knowledge of
their action. So that we may expect that
they will receive this intimation in about
eight days. AS there are n certain num-
mbeT ESTIMATED at about 2,000) of Chinese
males now on their way here who cannot
receive this notification, they will probably
be allowed to land if satisfactory evidence
is furnished the Government that they Will
not become Migrants. In other words we
understand the Government wish TO be as
sured that the Chinese who are brought
here, will be judiciously distributed through
oat the group at points where they will be
employed. To effect this purpose, every or
dinance and resolution will be brought to
bear to check this flood of immigration,
every care taken to regulate the supply to
the demand.
On Tuesday last, in consequence of the
arrival of the Madras with n large number
of Chinese males, a meeting of the Board
Of Health was called and the following reso-
luton introduced by the President OF the
Board was unanimously passed:
" Whereas, the Steamer Madras has arrived off
the port, % days from Hongkong with a large num-
Der Of Chinese passengers, among whom are two
cases of Smallpox reported by the Port Physician
DR.. Trousseau, as appearing to have recently broken
out and
Whereas, a state OF contagious disease exists
on board this vessel most dangerous to the welfare
Of this community therefore,
d" LeSOlred, that the President of the Board of
Health be authorized to take such steps as may be
deemed proper, after consultation with the Chief
Justice and Acknowledgement, as are necessary TO
avoid the risk Of contagion, and consequently to
prevent the landing of any passengers from the
steamer Madras"
Prompt action was taken by the President
of the Board on this resolution, and we are
assured that the Madras Cinnamon will not
be permitted to land here.

Honolulu, April 10. 1888.

WE think we have occasion To repeat the
words of Mr.. Davies in saying that we
fear sufficient enquiries were not made by
him before making his statement in respect
TO an alleged notice to the Government OF
the coming of Chinese coolies per Madras
The owner of the Madras and Captain
Bradley addressed letters to Mr.. Gibson
from HOngkOng dated March lst, speaking
of their intention 10 ship coolies to Homo
IuIu. which letters going by way of San
Francisco arrived per Suez, and were de-
Iivered at the Foreign Office on the morn
ing Of the 10th instant, the same day the
Madras arrived off the port. Were such
communications, followed Immediately by
the vessel, any proper notification to the
Hawaiian authorities in respect TO the inn
migration of coolies per Madras?
1t is true Mr.. Gibson had some convelsa-
ton with Captain Bradley on the occasion
of a previOus-xisit of the latter to Honolulu
in respect to the transportation of Japanese
men and women to this Kingdom, but not
one word about Chinese coolies.
We think Mr.. Davies would do well To
obtain precise information before v%enturing

THE Board Of Health have taken a de
cided stand in regard to the risk of small
pOX being introduced by the hOrdes of Chi
neSe men coming here. Tho President of
the Board sent n message Tuesday even
ing 10 Captain Bradley, Of the steamer
Madras, to the effect that owing to small
poXo on board, his ship would not be allowed
to land any passengers. We understand
that the Chinese passengers on board the
Madras attempted, before arrival in port,
to throw overheard two OF their fellow pas
sengers sick with the smallpox.

WHILE We sincerely sympathize with
Captain Bradley of the Madras, situated as
he is with over seven hundred dissatisfied
Coolies on his vessel, amongst whom small
poX has broken out, and with his life
made to throw overheard, by their country
men, those sick, in order that the vesse!
might not be quarantined, still we must
bear in mind that he has brought this state
of things upon himself, ipasmuch as no
notice has ever been given this govern
ment of the intention to pour upon these
shores thousands of Chinese males.
Those who have been engaged in this
business have acted as ii they thought that
we were n lot of greedy employers whose
only desire was that ship loads of labor"
might be dumped here, regardless Of all
moral and social conditions. Our people
must not be subjected to the risks that
would be incurred were these hordes of Chi
nese males allowed to over-run the country;
and it is the duty of all to join together in
unfolding the Government in their en-
deavOr TO preserve the islands from this
invasion, which has been rendered possible
by the resembling at Hongkong of the acts
restraining Chinese emigration to Hawaii
nei. These islands are not a mere cODglo-
meratiOn of estates habited by field hands
like Demerara, they constitute Il state filed
with families, whose homes must be re-
spected. The moral and social status of the.
people is of a high grade and must be up
held, and it is we'll that people abroad
should understand that we do not propose
to be overwhelmed by ship loads of China
men.

O'DOnnelI's Story.

London, 3.-O'Donpell, the slayer of
Carey, 1t is said has made a statement
that be was not sent to murder Carey.
He says that he and Carey were sitting
together In the cabin; Carey began 10
fasten quarrel upon him when O'Don-
| nell remarked about q rumor that Power,
the name by which Carey shipped, was
Carey; whereupon Carey and he started
up with pistols drawn. O'Connell grasped
Carey's collar with his left hand, but
being parslyzed lost his grasp. Carey
then crushed him down against one end
of the table, putting his pistol in O'Don-
nell's face. O'Donn all grabbed the pis j..
tol and fired bis own, Carey's weapon
falling on the floor six feet away. Carey
ran and partly stopped to pick it up
when ODonnell fired again, not deliber-
stely but to save his life. According TO
O'Donnell's statement, the story of
Carey's son. that he took bis fathers
pistol from him, is untrue. He took it
off the floor.
Sullivan, counsel for O'Dohnell, gave
the following summary of O'Donnell's
defense: Till the day after he reached
Cape Town O'Donnell says be never for
moment suspected the man Power to be
Carey. Seeing him to be an Irishman
like himself, he chump ned with him and
was kind to the children because they
seemed to be miserable. He was further
attracted to Carey by his occa. ional
moody, mysterious manner, and thought
he was possibly political outcast, es-
Gaping. The day after they left the cape
it was rumored that Carey was aboard.
O'Donnell was horrifed by the idea that
he had been giving his hand to and
cumming with tuch q william, and he
lay awake all mig bit moaning and groan-
ing at the thou sht, unable to believe or
dish slieve that he bad.
On Sunday ne was with Carey the in-
former, who suspecting something wrong
changed his manner to O'Donnell, and
in going TO the saloon for beer, said:
"Whst have you done with your pistol,
O'Donnel? It made me nervous when
you fired at those flying fish" O'Donnell
replied, lying: Il sold it, "But why
are you sfraid7 Only a pan who had
something on bis conscience would be
afraid of that, or words to that effect.
NJ esnwhile Mrs. O'Donnell, not wishing
te be dragged into the row, had left them.
Carey took lecturing tone spd IS some
men who had been previously sitting
spraug to their feet, he said "O'Donnell,
yau are ready to 90 eff half cock" and
grappled O'DoEnell who took Carey's
collar by his left hand, the psrslyzed
hand, Carey and he then each put
their hands in their pockets and drew
out a pistol. 81 came from a part
of America where people don't want to
Inquire into mans Intentions, when his
pistol is against your head" said. land
fired with my right hand" Carey's re-
volver went eff and dropped on the floor.
Its owner staggered forward, stopping to
pick up his weapon. Seeing this fred
again. Tom Carey then picked up his
fathers pistol.
Sullivan is hopeful of convicting Tom
Carey Of perjury Oh this point.
