his bill. lie thought proper him
self, not to keep behind the door in
respect to anything of which he
could inform the House, in that
desiring to set good example to
the member for Lihue. But when
it came to the point of hearing who
that gentleman's promoters of the
work were, they had nothing but
brilliant flashes of silence. The
objection he had to the Wilson bill,
however, did not lie in the name.
All that he could do was to advocate
bill coming in good faith before the
House to give certain persons the
right. The objection he had was in
the bill itself, and when the Hon.
member said the first section of the
Austin bill should not be there, for
the first time since he knew him he
thought he showed remarkable
want of sound sommon sense. (IIere
the Minister quoted the section, to
show that its provisions were for the
protection of the public, in not only
giving them the benefit of the res
trictions contained in the Act itself,
but binding the company to subjec-
ton to any future legislation that
might be found necessarily Refer
ing to Mr.. Bishops objection to
double track, he said the railway to
the Pail could not be built except
with double track, rs horses could
not be used, and there was no pro-
position to lay any double track but
that one. Double tracks elsewhere
were left to the discretion of the
Minister of the Interior, and the
same held with reference to laying
tracks in the middle of the street.
1t had been suggested that Mr..
Austin might sell out, but if he did
so to anyone who should build the
line that would be satisfactory.

n. M. QUEEN EMMA.

The Steamer Likelike arrived at
10 O'Clock yesterday morning from
Mahukona, which place she left the
previous day about s O'Clock in the
evening. A very large crowd of all
classes were down on the wharf
awaiting her arrival As the steamer
drew near to the dock it soon became
known that II. NJ. Queen Emma was
on board, and a thrill of joy went
through the crowd when it was
further known, that Her Majesty,
though still in critical condition
was not any worse. With Her
Majesty came DR.. Robert McKibbin,
Mr.. A. j. Cartwright, Right Rev.
Bishop Willis, Albert Kunuiakea and
large number of attendants. On
the wharf were the Hon. and Mrs.
c. r. Bishop, His EX. Governor
Dominis, Hon. A. 5. Cleghorn, Hon.
S. G. Wilder, Hon. G.. III. Judd,
ETC., etc. Her Majesty who was
lying on a stretcher was lowered
down from the steamer and then
carried slowly up Fort street to her
residence, followed by great many
sympathizing friends. Towards
evening there was slight sign of
improvement, still Her Majesty lies
in a critical condition. There was
great responsibility resting on DR..
McKibbin in bringing his patient
from Kohala, but he accepted it,
and is rewarded by his great care
and attention, in seeing Her Majesty
safe in her own home and surrounded
with every comfort. The Doctor
has been Her Majesty's faithful
medical adviser for many years. In
conversation with the Doctor, he
speaks in the highest terms of the
Kohala people, who did everything
that could be possibly done. The
arrangements made by the Hon. S.
G. Wilder with regard to the steamer
and railway journeys were perfect,
and shows how reliable is the COM
pany of which he is the head. The
speedy recovery of Her Majesty is
what everyone wishes.

GENERAL GORDON.

EDITOR BULLETIN In view of
the 1dUetiSer'S statement that Chi
nese Gordon "went among a people
to kick up bobbery, totally unau-
thorized by the British Govern
ment," and considering the deep
interest taken in the matter by many
people here, the following brief ex-
tracts from the Home Neocs will be
acceptable to some of your readers.
For the information of any who
may not know, l would add that the
Home Ne'cs is a highly respectable
weekly journal, containing an epit-
ONE of English and General Eu-
ropean intelligence, printed in Lon
don for transmission abroad.
January 25, 1SS4.-"It was known
throughout the world on Saturday,
January 19, that General Gordon
had been recalled from Brussels,
that he had spent the previous day
in interviews with Cabinet Ministers,
and that he was already on his way
to the Soudan. Yesterday he reach
ed Port Said, where he was met by
Sir Evelyn Wood, and abandoning
his original intention to proceed
direct to Suakim, went to Cairo.
Khartoum is his goal, but the
route he will pursue to reach it has
not yet been decided. The instruc-
tions given to him are secret" The
same issue says, "The most inter-
esting portion of Sir Charles Dilke's
remarkes was devoted to Egypt and
the Soudan. Ten days ago, he said,
Ministers were not quite certain
whether Chinese Gordon would care.
to accept his present mission. By
degrees they ascertained that he
would, and so he was sent.''
February l, 1SS4.-"General
Gordon is due at Khartoum some
day between Feb. IL and II. He
is travelling with no troops, no
escort, but with f40, 900 in hard cash
in his pockets. What is
General Gordon's mission? That is
a question which is exercising many
minds. First, having declared him
self opposed to the evacuation of
khartoum, he goes, as is officially
stated, to assist in and organize the
evacuation. Secondly, while our
Ministers declare that they will
undertake no responsibility for the
Soudan, Gordon, who proceeds
thither as their servant, and not the
servant of the Khedive, with whom
he has renounced any connection. is
officially called Governor-G General of
the Soudan."
From the foregoing it appears
that General Gordon was sent to the
Soudan by the British Government,
but that the precise nature of his
instructions was not made public;
nor, so far as | have been able to
learn from the English papers, has
it been revealed up to the present
time. A journal that can assert. in
the face of this, that Gordon "went
among a people to kick up bob
bing, totally unauthorized by the
British Government. muse either
lack correct information or be
wilful perverter of the truth.
