Tactics of the London Police.
The police of London are striking
back at the "Pall Mall Gazette'' for
the structures that paper has made on
them during its recent exposures of
London vices. They pounce upon
every man seen walking with a young
girl and ask him TO explain their re-
lationship and the reason for their
being seen together. The average
BritOn angrily resents this interfer-
ence by 'bobby" and tells him to
mind his own business. The police
man excuses himself by saying that,
since the publications in the "Ga-
zette," his orders have been very
strict, and he is obliged to suspect
everybody. This implied insult
makes the citizen an enemy of the
"Gazette" for life, and he generally
unburdens himself by writing long
and indignant letters to the 'Times."
The correspondence columns of the
papers have been crowded with
furious letters from men who have
been stopped while walking with
their daughters. The large number
of these letters indicates that there is
| a concerted plan on the part of the
police to irritate respectable people
into making complaints against the
"Gazette." The police have been
surprisingly active during the past
few days. Arrests for Offenses against
chastity have been almost twice as
numerous as during the correspond
ing days of last year. Some frightful
cases of depravity were exposed in
the Police Court to-day. The ten
little newsbOys have been released.
The Inquiry Commenced.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishop of London, Cardinal Manning
and Samuel Morley met at the Man
sion House and began their work of
special private inquiry into the evil
dence upon which the "Gazette'
bases its charges of iniquity in Lon
don. The Mayor and City Recorder
were, by invitation, present at the
meeting.

THE SUGAR MAI st.
Drop of One-EiGhth a cent 81
Manila RaWs

The special correspon ent OF the
ADVERTISER, being flu alive to
Hawaiian interests, sen, rs By the
o. and o. Company's stet ler Oceanic
the following report on be world :
sugar markets, which, re regret to
notice, show decline in Manila
raws.
THE MANILA B. SIS.
For some weeks past, w thstaud-
ing the f1uctuating conc ion of the
London and New York ugar mar,
kets, Manila quotations have re-
manned steady at $50 cents. Feeling
the effects, however, of the general
depression in sugar, prices have
dropped to 5.48 cents, fall of rather
more than one-eighth of cent. This
is somewhat surprising when we con-
slider the firmer tone established in
London and New York, and we trust
that the depression will merely be
temporary.
IN NEW YORK.
Rates remain unchanged at Ct
cents, with the market firm and
fairly active. Refined sugars are
quiet, and graduated is quoted at 81
cents. The demand for West India,
both for refinery and consumption,
had been limited, but the market
showed a more buoyant feeling on
July 21st.
IN LONDON.
German beet, which, according to
last advices, was quoted at 13s. I'D,
has risen to AS, a gain of 41d.,
with the market firmer and consid-
erably strengthened in consequence
of an improved demand. AT closing
there was a more healthy tone re-
sulting in moderate business Gro
Gerry crystallized ruled dull ''-'
downward tendency, but tn 5tah

to find the place completely occu-
pied and were compelled to retire.
An Important Conference.
After the Cabinet council the Mar
quis of Salisbury, Lord Iddesleigh
| (Sir Stafford Northcote) and Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach. Chancellor of
the Exchequer, had a consultation
at the Foreign Office with Baron De
Staal, the Russian ambassador to
London. The conference was on the
Afghanistan question, and it is said
that the negotiations between the
English and Russian Governments
for an amicable adjustment of the
dispute are progressing in a perfectly
satisfactory manner. The special
courier who was sent by Sir Peter
Lumsden from Penjdeh at the time Of
the difficulty there, to London, to
give the Gladstone Ministry special
information concerning the Pendjeh
battle, was at the Foreign Office dur.
ing the conference, and in fact all
day, helping to elucidate the prob
lem raised by the increased Russian
force near ZuIfkar.
The Feeling in France.
Dispatches from Paris report that
the French Foreign Office has re-
ceived information which shows con-
clusively that the Russians are de-
termined on Selling Herat and that
the massing of Russian troops now
going on at Zulfikar Pass is for that
purpose.
A dispatch from Paris to the Ex-
change Telegraph Company states
that the French ambassador at st.
Petersburg, who was about to leave
the Russian capital on furlough to
enjoy vacation, has been ordered to
remain at his post, because of the
gravity of the Afghan difficulty.
The Ameer'S Decoration.
The proclamation of the Ameer of
Afghanistan, announcing the receipt
by him of the decoration Of the Star
of India, and declaring that he was
entitled to aid from the Indian army,
if necessary, has been issued at
Herat The Ameer, in his procla-
nation, ordered the illumination of
Herat to celebrate his investiture
with the order.

Am UncaIIed for Attack RepclIed.


ED. P. G. ADvERTIsER-Sir: AS the GA
zette'' does not issue again until Wednesday
next, permit me space to ask of that paper,
in it's next number, to be little more def
mite in regard to charges it makes sditorially
against Hawaiian schools. AS one having
charge of a Honolulu school, feel it would
be cowardly to keep silent when such grave
charges are brought forward as are con-
tanned in that article. The written examina-
tions in one school at least occupied the last
two weeks of the term, the results of which,
covering the entire ground passed over dur
ing the year, may be seen at the rooms OF
the Board of Education. If any one inter-
ested in education will examine that work
and pronounce those boys and girls who did
it "smatterers'' or intellectually vulgar"
then 1 feel no hesitation in saying that he is
either dishonest, or totally ignorant Of the
first insight into educational processes.
If the writer of that article wishes to hit
somebody or something, why does he not
come out like an honest man and tell where
the fsmattering" and ''sycophancy" lie.
Many teachers, no doubt, in connection with
myself, would be happy to know what is
meant by "a certain educational quackery,
as of being able to do what they cannot do
thoroughly" I think, Mr.. Editor, that
article bears unmistakable ear-Inarks Of it's
writer, who would make himself and his
motives better known by signing his name
to his next. Very truly, III. NJ. SCOTT.

The Chinese Conspiracy Case.


In the Supreme Court yesterday the three
Cinnamon who had been found guilty last
week of conspiracy in the secoud degree
were brought up for sentence before Asso-
ciate Justice McCully.
In passing sentence, Justice McCully said:
81 have given this case considerable refec-
ton. The jury found a verdict of guilty in
the second degree. That is to say, that the
charge made by the defendants of selling
liquor unlawfuIly was unfounded, false or
groundless, and that the defendants con-
spired to make it. And by inference,
from the jury not finding them guilty in the
first degree, it is found that the defendants
in making the accusation of bribery did not
conspire to lay false charge, it being fact
that the attempt at bribery was so made.
That is to say, the Ing-On-Sing Chez party
attempted to bride the officers to conceal the
sale of liquor which had not been made at
all, or charged to be made.
''The evidence of the conspiracy to do the
one thing was equally strong with the evil
dence Of the other, especially did the charge
OF bribery depend on the charge of selling.
81 cannot understand the verdict except
on the superstition that the jury mistOok the
nature of the case, the arguments of counsel,
and the instructions of the Court, and
treated the police plot to catch the Kun
Sun Lung Company in an unlawful act, as
a conspiracy.
1.-The Court is bound by the verdict of the
jury to impose a penalty, but if my view of
the case is correct il ia revOlfinO IN the aonsa
Of justice to make it more than merely
nominal. Impose the sentence of fine of
50 each with COSTS

BradIey's Case.

In the case of Henry Bradley, brought up
in the Supreme Court yesterday on appeal
from the sentence of the Police Court, Mr..
A. S. Hartwell, who appeared for the defend
ant, asked to have the sentence of the lower
Court mitigated, as it was excessive and dis
protioned to the nature of the ofense. JUS
tice McCully said that he was not well &C
quainted with the facts of the case, and
should defer passing sentence until this
morning, whom he should simply do his
duty.

There is intense heat in all Eastern

rate is increasing enormously.
The Rowing Record Reduced.
Seven thousand people assembled
at McKee's rocks near Pittsburg to
witness the final heats in the Teemer
regatta. The weather was oppres-
sively hot, but the water was smooth
as glass. The first event was three
mile professional scuIl for a purse of
$500. The entries were Teemer,
Gaudaur, Teneyck, Mckay, Hamm
and Hosmer. At the word COOP all
took the water together, but Teemer,
rowing the fastest stroke, quickly
went to the front. Before the con-
testants had gone thirty yards, how
ever, Gaudaur drew up to Teemer
and passed him at the end of the first
mile, turning the buoy three lengths
in the lead, with Teemer second,
Teneyck third, Hamm and Mckay
tie for fourth, and Hesmer bringing
up the rear. On the homestretch
Teemer made an effort to close the
gap, but Gaudaur pulled away from
him and crossed the line four lengths
in the lead. Time, 1892.
