United States Minister Phelps was the prin-
cipal guest Of the evening at the banquet given
to the judge by Lord Mayor Fowler at the man
sion house, London. The lord mayor, in pro-
posing the toast to the United States said that

Period Of Commercial stagnations.
Bradstreets Journal in it's commercial sum
mary will say: The past week shows an in
creased depression in general trade. The
stoppage of the iron mills of the West cannot
fail to act as a further drag on trade. Tie
volume of merchandise moved is not large, the
demand for fall goods is below an
ticipations, and in transportation circles
freight rates are lower than ever Lake
freights are as low as ever before
and yet tonnage and cars are idle.
The demand for the produce does not exist
even at the very low cost of delivery. The
banks at Eastern and Western centers con-
tinue to accumulate funds. Interest rates at
the interior are lower than ever before, and in
still other ways there are evidences of nc
cumulating idle commercial machinery. The
dry goods market is dull, and jobbers do not
express any reasonable hope for any improve
ment during the month.

lawyer, a man of probity and indie
pendence of character, well versed in
Hawaiian law and politics, Mr.. Preston
brings strength of will and firmness of
purpose to the discharge of the high
duties of his office. We congratulate
the Government upon the felicity of
their appointment; we congratulate
the bar upon having a lawyer upon

JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP.

In another column of tO-day's AID
VERTIsER we publish description of
the distinguished Japanese decora-
ton which has been conferred upon
His ExceIIency Walter NJ. Gibson,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, by his
Imperial Highness the Mikado. This
in itself is remarkable incident, as
the japanese Court is exclusive, and
the Mikado is not at all lavish in his
decoration of foreigners. But the
incident becomes all the more sig
nificant when the language of the
dispatch conveying the wish of the
Emperor of Japan through his Min
lister for Foreign Relations is consid-
cred. 1t is couehed in terms of the
most appreciative friendship for Ha-
wall, and intimates a growing inter
est in the well-being and progress of
this Kingdom. In this sense, there
fore, the honor conferred upon the
Hawaiian Foreign Minister possesses
more than ordinary meaning, and
augurs well for the success of that in
dustrial partnership, as it were, be-
tween the two countries, which is
expressed so potentially by Japanese
immigration. We have room and
verge enough fer tens of thousands of
Japanese families on these Islands,
and we hope to see them established
here, in thrift and comfortable indie
pendence, under our equal and hui
name laws. Certainly no public man
in this Kingdom has labored more
assiduously to make japanese immi-
grafton success than His Excellency

HOME FOR CHILDREN OF LEPER PA
RENTS.

An extract from an American ex-
change in yesterdays ADVERTISER
is an apt illustration of the mischief
our contemporaries have done by
their exaggerated style of writing
about the prevalence of leprOsy and
the finances of the Kingdom. It is
from an American paper, and has ref
erence to the Home which the King
and Queen propose to found for the
care and instruction of the female
children of leper parents, who are
necessarily unable to provide for
them. and where they will be kept
perfectly free from personal contact
with disease.
It is stated in the quotation referred
to that leprosy is rapidly on the in
crease among Hawaiian children, but
that the Government is so nearly
bankrupt that it has no money to ap-
prOpriate for their aid, and that Ha-
waiian newspapers are therefore ap-
pealing for popular subscriptions.
This, of course, is wholly untrue. The
Government have made ample pro-
vision for the care of lepers, young
and cid. and no appeal has been made
for popular subscription on their be-
half
But it is only proper to say that ne
more worthy or charitable object
could be imagined than a Home at
which the female offspring of leper
parents might be trained to good and
useful lives, and given a chance to
escape from the fate which befell
their unhappy parents. That the
King and Queen contemplate it's
foundation is greatly to their credit,
and the purses of charitable people
here and elsewhere should be opened
to furthering it. There are many
who have amassed riches in this
country, but their benefactions to the
native people to whom they owe so
much have been few and far between.
Here there is project in the found
ing and sustaining of which they may
render important assistance, and at
the same time do something towards
atoning for their past neglect. By 80
doing, they would earn for themselves
the gratitude of those who are father
less and motherless indeed.

HAWAIIAN ART.
Handsome Present From His Majesty
the King to the Emperor of Japan.

Mr.. J. D. Strong has lately finished
a fine picture representing Japanese
laborers at work on a plantation,
which was ordered by His Majesty
the King to be sent to the Emperor
of Japan. The picture is large one
6Ox3O inches-and is more highly
finished than any work we have seen
by this artist. The scene is on Maui,
where Mr.. Strong took many elabor-
ate sketches. The strength of this
picture lies in the figures, which are
painted ia the full glow of sunlight.
In the foreground stands a strong,
fine looking japanese man, with
his hands resting on his hips,
and his feet apart, gazing good
naturally out Of the pictures. By his
side sit two women, also unmistak-
ably Japanese, who are giving little
baby a drink of water out of a bowl.
The child is excellent, with its little
round shaved head and side-tufts of
black hair. On the left is a patch of
sugar cane, which a party of laborers
are actively cutting; further back to
the left is the overseer on horseback,
near bullock cart, which a number
die distance is Spreckelsville and a
glimpse of the sea, with final back
ground of lofty mountains, topped by
floating clouds. The picture is a fine
representation of a sunny, thriving,
hard-working plantation scene, that
will undoubtedly attract great deal
of attention here when it is put on
public exhibition, and will accom-
plish its object in Japan of giving the
Mikado a correct and pleasant idea
of the new home and employment of
his countrymen. Mr.. Irwin, His
Majesty's Charge d'Affairs in Japan,
takes the picture with him to Japan
on the Yamashiro Maru.
ART NOTES.
Mr.. J. D. Strong has in his studio,
at the Government Buildings, fine
life-size portrait of Captain Morse, of
the Alameda, which is a speaking
likeness, and fine example of bold
and vigorous painting.
Mr.. Tavernier, who has been occu-
plying a part of Mr.. Strong's studio in
the Government Building, has moved
to a room over Irwin & Co.'s bank,
where he is busily at work on Vol
cano pictures from sketches made on
his last visit to the crater.

THE resolutions of coincidence pre-
scented by the bar Of Honolulu, and
ordered entered on the records of the
Supreme Court of the Kingdom, are
a touching tribute to the worth and
character of the late Associate JUS
tice Austin. They are some slight
consolation to the family and rela-
tives of the deceased for their great
loss; and the eloquent and touching
remarks of his associates on the Su-
preme Bench and members of the
bar further show that their sorrow is
participated in by those with whom
Judge Austin was most intimately
associated in the active affairs of life.
