were a great many lepers at large at
Kekaha, Kauai. Some of them

The Hilo Planters Society, at a
meeting where ten plantations were
represented, have declared against
the recent labor circular of the Pre-
sident of the Board of immigration.
They described it as entirely uncalled
for, extra judicial and unconstitu-
tional; the carrying of its provi-
sions as the first steps in annulling
the independence of the Hawaiian
Kingdom; subversive of all proper
and needful discipline on plantations,
and tending to aggravate rather than
diminish the present evils attendant
on all labor enterprises now existing
on these isles.
The San Francisco CAL of Sept.
10Th has the following: = Claus
Spreckels stated yesterday that the
subsidy of $4,000 which the New
Zealand Government had decided to
offer for the continuation of the
mail service via San Francisco would
not be enough to maintain line of
steamers that could make the trip in
eighteen days, as required by one
of the conditions upon which the
subsidy is granted. The other
colonies, however, have not yet been
heard from. 1t is probable that
they may do something to secure
the mail service via this city.

Oats bulletin board this forenoon
bore the following entry: 9.15-
Genesta in ght-overran the mark"
While about it, they might have
told n right one. By adding, "The
Puritan leading by half a length"
they would have sold out the balance
of their Fourth of July flags.
OVER two thousand feet of new
canvas-covered rubber-hose stored
at the Central Station was found
lately to have tempted the appetites
of cocLroaches. Their marks were
visible in the web at the exposed
places. Racks have been built in
the hook and ladder room, and the

the latter started on a runaway tour

a livid impression in high relief.
Both the combatants were arrested
and taken to the station house,
