THIS DAYS D0INCS.
OPINION OF THE COUNTRY.
EVENING.

We have just received news from
kona that the clectioneering cam.
paign in that district has been opened
by large meetings of natives and
foreigners held at Hookena. Adj
dresses were made 10y Messrs. Pill
po, Nahinu and w. S. Brash and
the advisability of returning an in
dependent candidate was strongly
advocated so that the requirements
of the district might not be forgotten
in political differences, strong senti-
ments of dissatisfaction being ex-
pressed at the conduct of their late
representatives. The feeling of the
meetings was unanimously opposed
to the present administration and
many of their recent actions were
strongly criticized; reference was
also made to Mr.. Gibson's canvasser
who had been vainly trying to pre-
judice the "simple and ignorant I"
voters.
Messrs. Nahinu and Kaohe were
named as probable candidates for
South Kona district and Messrs. ri,
lipo and Kaai for North Kona. The
feeling of the meeting was very un-
animous and strongly opposed to
the Gibson ministry and active mea-
sures were taken to keep the dis
cussion of this all-important topic
prominently before the Electors.

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRATION.

The steamer Bell Rock left St.
Michaels on 3Oth August with about
fourteen hundred passengers, the
same number as was brought by the
Hankow. This steamer will come
direct to Honolulu, not calling any
where for coal, and, as she is new
vessel and this is her maiden voyage,
she may be expected to arrive in
this port on the 25th October, pos
sibly sooner. This will be the last
lot of Portuguese that may be ex-
pected here for some time, although
the number coming falls short of
those required by the planters some
months ago by seven hundred, as
His Excellency the Premier has de-
cided, without consulting the plan
ters or the members of the Board of
immigration, to suspend the impor-
tation of Portuguese.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1883-09-27
A TRAMWAY WANTED.

If His Excellency the Premier,
who processes to be so anxious to
improve Honolulu and it's surroun-
dings in the interests of the mechanic
and artizan, had seen numbers of them
toiling through the sandy desert
from Waikiki church to the bridge
OH Sunday, almost knee deep in
dust, and if he had heard their
curses, loud and long, at himself
and his colleagues because no repairs
had been made to this road, which
is the only outlet from Honolulu,
for six or eight months-then would
his ears have tingled at the good
things said of him. Some of the
simple and ignorant people" " even
wished that he would drive out there
and smash his carriage, then might
they hope for some of the dollars,
that are overfowing from the Hawa-
iian Treasury, to be expended in the
improvement of the road OF in the
construction of tramway which
they require and which he has for
hidden.

Franklin, near Hobart, early in the
past week. At about half-past 6
O'Clock on Wednesday morning,
August 20, peculiar tidal pheno-
menon was observed by the local
pilots at Newcastle { New South
Wales }.
From Western Australia we learn
that loud, booming sounds, resem-
bling the firing of heavy guns, were
heard at several places along the
coast, on August 80. A tidal wave
eight feet in height was observed at
Geraldton, the chief port of the
north, about 800 miles from here.
Persons walking along the beach
there state that they heard loud
rumbling sounds which caused
alarm. Suddenly the sea receded
about 100 yards, and then high
wave returned with great force and
with a rushing noise. The people
who were on the beach had to run
to save their lives, and all the boats
were thrown up and left high and
dry on the beach, swamped. On 2Sth
and 29th August there were tidal
disturbances in Sydney.
A tidal wave made its appearance
at Northern New Zealand on August
20, commencing at 4 am. The sea
rushed in violently, 'but took several
hours to recede. The disturbance
was slightly perceptible at 10 O'Clock
August %. a sharp shock of earth
quake was felt at Patea at half-past
i, about 100 miles northwest OF
wellington.
