JUDGE TOOHY INTERVIEWED.

Attention is directed to the report
in to-day's ADVERTISER, of an inter-
view with Judge d. J. Toohy, of San
Francisco, on his return to that city
from Honolulu. 1t is copied from the
"Daily Report" one of the most en-
terprising local papers published in
California. The "Report" remarks:
Judge Toohy is a representative Califor-
MAN, a shrewd observer, a man of great
fairness, and just the person to see the
Islands and give his impressions to the
American people. The Judge discusses the
government of the Islands in a free and in
dependent manner, and shows that the
reigning monarch is a wise, progressive,
benevolent man, whose first thought is the
welfare of his people. The statements of
the Judge, based on personal observation,
are so clear and comprehensive that they
cannot fail to rectify many mistaken ideas
of Hawaii and the Hawaiians. The careful
reader will notice that Judge Toohy is
never at a loss for word or phrase, but de-
scribes what he saw, and tells what he
thought of what he saw, with the candor
that has ever been one of his leading
characteristics. The Toohy interview shows
Hawaii as it is. We commend it to the at
tention of our readers.
We have nothing to add to the re-
marks of our San Francisco contem-
porary, but commend the interview
to the careful attention of the Oppo-
sitiOn press.

Consul General mckinley.

The Gazette" in it's recent scandalous
attack upon Consul General Mckinley,
intimated that he had not been officially
recognized by the Washington Govern
ment, and questioned whether his Con-

malicious statements we annex the fol-
lowing copy of Consul General McKin-
ley's recognition" and recommend the
Gazette" to make sure of its facts be-
fore it assails anyone in future:

hibited to me that DAVID A. MCKINLEY has

Our supplement.

Shortly after the arrival of the Ala
media on Saturday we were in position
to distribute full page supplement con-
tanning the principal items of news up to
the 18th instant. Subscribers to the
ADVERTISER and business men generally
will appreciate our enterprise and fore
thought in this particular. A new
feature of these supplements is the Coast
advertisements, which appear on one
side of the sheet, the news being printed
on the other. This shows the desire of
business men in San Francisco to culti-
vate the Islands trade Last Saturdays
supplement contained very neat display
advertisements of G. H. Mumm &
Co.'s champagne; '9Hathorn," the
natural aperient mineral water from
Saratoga Springs, New York; Nichol-
sons "liquid Bread" "Seourene,"
cleaning and securing preparation of
admitted merit; and Duffy's pure

endorsed by the leading physicians
and chemists of the world for its purity.

The Rice Market.

The San Francisco correspondent of
the ADVERTISER reports a decline in Ha-
waiian rice, which is now quoted at 6
cents, jobbing at 81 cents. This drop
is attributable to importations of Japan
table rice at San Francisco, which are
selling at 81 cents. The last shipments
to Hyman Bros were sold readily at 6
cents, but other consignees were holding.
China rice had dropped to 4.6O@4.65
per double mat.

Asplendid audience was present at the
circus Saturday evening, the large tent
being filed in every part. His Majesty
the King, attended by Colonel c. H.
Judd, honored the performance with his
presence. The programme had been
somewhat altered and gave satisfaction
to every one present. The acrobatic
feats by Samuel, Durand and Karl were
something wonderful and elected much
enthusiasm. Karl only arrived in the
city by the Alameda. His Majesty the
King before retiring expressed himself
to Captain Bigh as delighted with the
whole performance. This afternoon the
company leave on the Lehua for Wal
.luku. It is possible on their return one
more performance may be given pre-
vio1s to their departure for the Colonies.

he had not broken his contract. He should
refuse the motion to order the receiver to
make advances, and also the request of the
receiver to cancel the contract.

Els ExcELLENCY PAUL NEUMANN
Meets with q Serious Accident on
Board the Alameda.

We regret to learn that His EXcellency
Paul Neumann, our Attorney General,
met with rather serious accident on
board the Alameda on his trip to San
Francisco. The steamer encountered
very rough and stormy weather for TOUR
days after leaving Honolulu, which made
her nearly one day late in reaching
her destination. On the fifth day out,
when they were reaching cooler attitudes,
Mr.. Neumann began to feel the effects
of the change of climate, and In the
early morning started from the lounge
where he had been sleeping to seek the
warmer atmosphere attainable IN ms
cabin. When lying down he had re-
moved the artificial limb which he is I'M
fortunately compelled to wear, and on
starting for his cabin, the steamer gave
a sudden lurch, throwing him against
sharp ledge with his entire weight upon
his injured leg. The pain was so in
tense that Mr.. Neumann Immediately
tainted. He was, however, well cared
for by the ships surgeon and by DIR.
Keeney, who was fortunately on board,
until his arrival at San Francisco,
where he was Immediately conveyed to
the Palace Hotel With every avail
able medical assistance and complete
rest Mr. Neumann is recovering much
more rapidly than was anticipated and
the injury, though necessarily an ex-
ceedingly painful one, will fortunately
not prove dangerous. Mr.. Neumann
hoped to be able to leave his bed on the
18th instant The chief drawback to his
speedy recovery might possibly be found
in the fact that he has so many friends
in San Francisco, all of whom are
anxious to assist him in every possible
manner, and keep up constant visiting
stream to his bedside. He had improved
wonderfully when the Alameda left and
was looking like himself again, with a
full return of that flow of genial humor
and kindness which characterizes his
disposition. The accident will probably
delay Mr.. Neumann's return to Homo
lulu for few weeks, but we sincerely
trust to hear by the next steamer of his
complete and permanent recovery.

IN SAN FRANCISCO.

The California refinery, on the 18th
instant, raised the price of extra G. by
one-fourth cent per pound. This was
followed by similar advance on the
part of the American refinery. Other
grades remain unchanged, but the con-
sumption is increasing and there is a
good demand for all grades. Reports
from the Islands give an estimate of
10000 tons for the growing crop. The
Standard beat refinery was to start on
the 18th instant, with an average crop to
work upon. 1t is peculiar and notice

Each day, bowling toward her politely,
. He wooed her with passion intense.
Reproving his little pet poodle,
That barked at her cat through the fence.
"Tvea question to ask, he once murmured-
will you be, little woman, my wife?
With none but my poodle to love me,
I'm leading too lonely a life."
And her round, dimpled cheeks were like roses;
Although | adore you, sighed she,
II never can marry you-never!
Your dog with my cat won't agree"
ut is true" he said, stroking his poodle;
But then I've been thinking of that.
You needn't distress yourself, darling,
For you can get rid of your cat
'What! Part with my dear little SNOWFALL?
never could do it," she said.
You're cruel to ask it, when you, love.
Can give up your poodle instead
"But he knows how to carry d basket"
He said, with a quivering lip;
"And he'll jump through a hoop, and-Ilove him!
couldn't dispense with poor Gyp!'
''Then y@1 see how it is, dear, she nodded.
II see, he replied; ut is fatei'
"And, until they make up, dear, she added,
1.-The best thing. I'm sure. is to wait"
So. each day, bowling toward her politely,
He wooes her, with passion intense,
Reproving his little pet poodle,
That barks at her cat through the fence!
