Islands.
To the Editor of the sLondon Times"
Sir: My attention has been called to
paragraph In the ''Times" of yesterday,
referring to alleged cruelties to Japanese
laborers in the Sandwich Islands. Hav-
ing just returned from Honolulu, and be-
ing deeply interested i'll the subject of
Hawaiian immigration, / trust you will
permit me to say that the account given
by the correspondent of the New York
Tribune" is grossly exaggerated.
Considerable jealousy exists on the
part of the sugar refiners of the Eastern
States concerning the Reciprocity Treaty
between the United States and the Ha-
waiian Kingdom, which confers upon the
sugar refiners of California a substantial
advantage; and, without desiring to inn
pute motives, may say from experience
that anything detrimental to the charac-
ter of the Hawaiian sugar industries is
generally painted in the strongest colors
by the correspondents of the Eastern
press.
During my stay in Honolulu last July
a report reached the authorities that
some difficulty had arisen with the la
bOrers on a plantation in the island of
Maui, and that cruelties were alleged to
have been practiced on a number of the
Japanese. Without delay an investiga
ton was ordered, at which the Japanese
Commissioner and Consul, the latter be-
ing the resident protector OF Japanese la
borers on the Islands, were present. 1t
was discovered that some instances OF
oppression had taken place, and in con-
sequence the labOrers were promptly re-
moved from the plantation in question,
but nothing in the nature of cruelties,
such as are described in the Tribune"
correspondents letter had had any exist
ence Such occurrences would be impOs-
sible under the Hawaiian labor laws
without subjecting the planter to the
most severe penalties, and the japanese
Commissioner expressed himself per
fectly satisfied with the general condition
of his countrymen on TIE plantations.
may add that during the past five
years 1 have facilitated the emigration of
several thousand agricultural laborers
from the Azores and Madeira to the
Hawaiian Islands, where they have
found continuous and remunerative en-
ployment, and have established for
themselves hundreds of prosperous and
happy homes, but not single instance
of cruelty or inhumanity on the part of
the planters or their subordinates has
yet come under my notice. l have be-
fore me a report from the Hawaiian
Consul at ST. Michael's, Azores, from
which gather that during the past year
there have been RENTED by the Azorean
emigrants in the Hawaiian Islands, to
their poor relatives and friends at home,
sums of money saved from their wages
amounting in the aggregate to nearly
$1,000 sterling per month.
l trust to your well-known impartiality
to insert this communication, and thus
remove from the character OF the Ha-
waiian planters most unmerited stigma
[ am, sir, your obedient servant,
ABRAHAM HoFFNUNG,
Commissioner of Emigration in Great
Britain for the Hawaiian Kingdom.

A Quiet Day In Wall Street.


 The opening of the stock market this morning was awaited with feverish anxiety by many brok ers the failures of yesterday leading many to be- lieve that others would surely be announced before the day closed Spectators and brokers came down to their offices early and long before the time of opening the exchange and the streets in the vicinity were dotted with excited groups of men, some wearing grave vsages while others appeared iubilant and predicted better times The failure of course was the sole topic of conversation, but in terest chiefly centered in the opening of the mar ket to-day and what course prices would take. It was freely predicted that they would surely go down. but on the contrary, there was good Dor rowing demand for stock, and instead of rush to sell at the opening, there decided inclination to bnv Transactions as a rule, however, were on very limited scale but every purchase sent prices steadily up. As the morning wore on without any further endorsements being announced, more confident tone characterized the dealings, whlch materially aided the upward movement At noon the whole list was up I to 1A per cent. The sales of the forenoon amounted to l2o.ooo snares ino advance of the morning had the effect of badly frightening the shorts and fearing a squeeze or trap of some kind, many of them covered quite briskly throughout the afternoon Their buying, together with some bidding up by the bulls. kept prices steadily on the advance to the close, when the best figures of the day were current, the mar ket leaving off strong. Although there were nu- nerous rumors of other failures impending, the day closed without the announcement of any furth- CT endorsements The advance for the day ranged from 8 to 23s cent the latter in Lacka- wanna. The specialties neglected The sales amounted to 297, 800 shares

 William Van Zandt and "Fritz," two of Selectman Isaac Browns workmen, capsized in boat in the harbor yesterday. Fritz, Van Zandt and companion had gone out out for sail, and as they got oppe site old Fort Hale the wind was blowing very hard and their little sixteen foot sharpie was ca reening pretty we'll All three were leaning well over to windward Suddenly all the wind died out and there was so much weight on the windward side that the boat, released from the strain to lseward so suddenly, capsized in the di rection of the wind, and before the aston ished sailors had time to realize what had happened they found themselves in the water, which, fortunately, was not over their heads. In speaking about the affair last night "Fritz," who is an experienced boatman, was much disgusted with his ex- perience, declaring that it was an unheard of thing for boat to capsize to windward.
