JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS.

Messrs. w. G. Irwin & Co. received
private letters and kilograms by the
mail advising them of the sailing of
the Japanese steamer YamiliuO
Mani, about June I'd, with one thou
sand japanese emigrants bound for
Honolulu. She is due here about
June 14th. Mr.. Irwin, Hawaiian
G large dAffaires, and the son of his
ExcelIency the japanese Minister for
Foreign Affairs, are passengers by
this vessel. Owing to the fact that
the regular mail steamers were filled
with Chinese passengers for the Coast,
it became necessary to charter Japa-
nese steamships. Another vessel with
emigrants for Honolulu will probably
leave Yokohama on July 18th, and
another in August. This will be good
news to our planters, who uniformly
speak in the highest possible terms of
their Japanese Iaborers.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

We issue to-day a fourteen column
supplement, containing the latest and
fullest details of all foreign events
up to the sailing of the Mariposa from
San Francisco; also an extended re-
port of the trial of AdOIph B. Spreck-
els for shooting NJ. De Young, pro-
prietor of the "Chronicle' newspaper.
This is a special feature, and will be
appreciated, we feel assured, by every
one in the Kingdom to whom the de-
PENDANT and his family are known.
The opening speech for the defense
by Mr.. Henry HightOn was a mas
terly exposition of the law in it's re-
latiOn to the facts. It presented the
defendants case in a clear aud con-
vincing light to the jury and Court.
The trial was proceeding when the
Mariposa left. On the second page of
our regular newspaper we print the
evidence adduced for the defense UP
to noon Of June 1st.

Arrival of His ExceIIency Minister
Merrill.

The newly-appoint ted United States Min
lister Resident to the Hawaiian Islands, Hon.
George W. Merrill arrived by the Oceanic
steamship Mariposa yesterday from San
Francisco. Mr.. Merrill's record for the
past twenty-five years has been a distin-
guished and honorable one. He is a native
of the State of Maine, and graduated from
Bowdoin College in that State in 1859. At
the commencement of the Civil War he was
a resident of the State of Indiana, and en-
tered the military service of the. United
States as Captain of Company F of the
Sixtieth Indiana Volunteers. de was taken
prisoner with some 5000 others by the
forces under the Confederate General
Bragg, while operating in Kentucky, and
paroled. He was elected Major of his regi-
ment but was mustered out before seeing
service in that rank. At the close of the
war Major Merrill moved to Nevada and
commenced the practice of law in Eureka
He served the State as District Attorney for
twelve years, and was sent to the Sta
as the Democratic representa-
tive from Eureka county in 1881 He was
elected Speaker of that body, aud was af-
forwards a candidate for the office of STATE
General, being defeated by only
33 votes. Afterwards he was sent to Wash
ington as attorney for the State to super
intend the distribution Of public lands for
school purposes in the State. Major
Merrill is AZ years of age, is a man of fine
and expresses himself as much
pleased with the appearance Of things in his
official home. He mentions having met the
Hon. H. A. P. Carter in Washington
md from him obtained a great deal of in
ormation concerning the Islands. Mrs.
Merrill accompanies her husband, and is
delighted with the beautiful flowers and
oliage of Honolulu, which she has seen for |
he first time.

The Outlook In Mani.

Mr.. George c. Williams, manager of the
Spreckelsville Plantation, is in town for
short time. he reports that the country
about Spreckelsville is looking finely, and
that the winter and spring rains, although
net so abundant as last year, have done
more good, as they have fallen quietly and
soaked into the ground better than the last
years rains. From the beginning of 1885
to the 1st of June the rainfall was 2.32
inches less than for the same period of 1884,
but the effect has been more lasting. The
cane is looking finely at Spreckelsville. and
there is an abundance Of water for irriga-
ton.
Speaking of the advance in the price of
sugar, Mr.. Williams said it was a good
thing, of course, for the Hawaiian planters.
and he added "There is another thing the
planters can congratulate themselves on.
and that is the arrival of the Japanese in
the country. They are proving themselves
to be quiet, Woodworking class of people,
and they adapt themselves to their new
homes on these islands in rapid and salts
factory manner"

city. If there were a thorough and
effective system of sewers in opera
ton, there would not be so much risk
of an outbreak Of fever similar to that
which proved so fatally troublesome
few years ago; but the sanitary
condition of the city remains the
same as it was then, so far as any
attempt at drainage works is con-
cerned, although the soil is now
necessarily much more thoroughly
impregnated with breeding
Impurities. 1t is quite true that the
health statistics for last month were
very favorable, and so they will prob
ably continue to be until the out
break of an epidemic, should one
occur. 1t is to he hoped, however,
that the cool trade winds will soon
begin to blow, bringing with them
health and healing to man and beast.

A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.

The confident hope that was held
out of short dramatic season here
by Dion Boucicault and his talented
company is not to be realized. At
the last moment the great dramatist
and actor decided not to break the
voyage to Australia by laying off
few days at Honolulu and playing.
Some of the company refused to make
the special trip, and as it was impos-
sibie to rehearse others for their parts,
the entire design was abandoned.
We regret this for many reasons, but
especially because of the impetus it
would have given to dramatic repre-
sentatiOn here. A short season of
Dion BOucicault's company would
have been an invaluable dramatic
education, aud would have gone far
towards removing existing prejudice
against theatrical performances. The
stage, under proper limitations and
conditions, is a great moral agent,
and is so acknowledged by many of
the foremost divines of the age.
Owing to its isolated position, Homo
lulu has not been favored with any
high class performances, although
in point of respectability and general
character, the dramatic company
which lately played here could not
be excelled. They were unfortunate,
however, in the time of their visit,
the death of Queen Emma and other
local matters interfering with them.
Their failure to draw fairly paying
houses may also be attributed in part
to the composition and work of the
but it was mainly oc-
casioned by the circumstances alluded
to. Be this as it may, however, we
regret that they were not better pat
roniZed; and we still further regret
that an opportunity will be denied
both young and old of witnessing
really ffrst-rate acting on our local
stage. If Dion BOucicault had come
down by the Mariposa we are conf
dent he would have met with an en-
thusiastic reception.

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR.

The Apaches are on the war path
again, and seventy odd lives have
already been taken by them. This
is strange commentary upon GEN
eral Crooks assurance, when he re-
turned from Mexico with the old
women and children of the 'braves"
whom he did not capture, that there
would be no more trouble with the
Apaches. They were placed under
military supervision at his sugges-
ton, and this is the outcome of it all.
We cannot possibly say who is to
blame for this fresh outbreak, but
undoubtedly it is not the much
abused Indian agents.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER.

The p. G. ADVERTISER of to-day,
with its supplement, is the greatest
newspaper ever issued in this King
dom. It is paper of which everyone
should feel proud. OF course we can
not publish such a mass of reading
and news matter without great ex-
pense, and we naturally look to
business men and residents of these
Islands to sustain us in our endeavor
to build up newspaper which shall
make this country known far and
near, throughout the habitable globe.
We are meeting with encouragement
on all hands, but we are determined
to show that the enterprise of the
ADVERTISER Company merits all
possible support.

known the defendant for several years,
intimately, as friend. Never heard bis
reputation questioned. On the afternoon
of the 18th of November last I met him
en- the west side Of KearnY street, and we
walked along together northward. As we
reached Morton street, De Young came
out Of the Elite saloon. He unbuttoned
his coat and put his hand in his right
hip-pockst.
Questiou-At that time did Mr.. De
Young see Mr.. SPrecksls?
Answer-He saw me and he must have
seen Mr.. Spreckels. De Young had on a
four-button cutaway coat, all buttoned up.
He ran up his hand quickly, unbuttoning
his coat and plunged his hand into his
pocket. He then walked along the west
side of Kearny street, from twelve to six
teen feet ahead of US. The sight of Mr.
De Young plunged Mr.. Spreckels into
thinking mood. De Young's name was
not mentioned between us until we got to
Bush street.
Question-What was said?
Answer saw
Mr.. Campbell, interrupting, objected to
their conversation being repeated.

show intent He wished to prove that the
witness said, as the defendant started

what are you going there for?" Counsel
said he wished to cite authorities on the

dence.

its noon recess.

Bottom has been touched apparently
in England and America, and hence
forward we may expect to hear more
satisfactory accounts from both
countries. It's, of course, very evil
dent that this little country must
likewise participate in the business
boom that is impending. Thus, it
may be, that peace will bring with
it infinitely greater benefits than war
could have done.

BRITISH EMIGRATION POLICY.

The Importance of the Colonies of
Great Britain to the parent state is
fully recognized by politicians Of the
! two great national parties, but most
| of all by the business classes of Eng
land. Australasia ranks second to
India as a consuming market for
British merchandise, and in the near
future it will rank above it. We are
not, therefore, surprised to find that
! the London Chamber of Commerce
should take an active interest in the
question of emigration. AS astute
business men they perceive that con-
tinued emigration from the United
Kingdom to the United States is
weakening the former, in an econ
Omic sense, while strengthening the
latter. The American tariff is close
protective one. 1t is intended to de-
velOpe domestic industries and dis
courage foreign competition, and al
though we believe the United States
would have been richer to-day under
tariff for revenue only, it must be
admitted that it has contributed not
little to the growth of manufactur-
ing industries. But, outside the field
of economic discussion, the grand re-
suit is before the world, and the
London Chamber of Commerce is
bound to recognize it.
If the set of emigration could be
diverted to the Australian colonies
from the United States, the trade of
the British Empire would be stimu-
lated, because every immigrant land
ing in Australia becomes a consumer
of British products to larger extent |
than he ever was before, his means
and position in life being uniformly !
bettered. But should the same per-
son go to America he at once becomes |
a consumer of American made goods, |
and is no longer dependent for his |
supplies upon British manufacturers |
and English shipping.
Bearing these facts in mind, COM
mittee of the London Chamber of |
Commerce has forwarded to the Brit |
ish Government a resolution in favor |
of diverting emigration to the Brit
ish colonies, especially Australia, |
where the consumption of British |
goods exceeds &s per head, instead of
to America, where the consumption
of British goods is only 10 shillings
per head. This is a business propo-
sition, and we anticipate that the
Board of Trade will make some rec
OmmendatiOn to Parliament regard
ing it. The Australian colonies are
promoting immigration from the
United Kingds m, but owing to the
distance and cost their efforts do not
offset voluntary emigration to the
States. Should the Imperial Gov
ernment take up this question as
measure of imperial policy the result
would be different.
In any event, this Kingdom is in
5erested in the question because of
its intimate commercial relations
with the British colonies in the South
Pacific. Our trade with them is not {
now very extensive, but it is capable
IF considerable expansion. The di- :
rect mail service between the Colo
MES and San Francisco likewise
brings these Islands into close and
intimate connection with the former ,,
through travelling Australians. Any
hing that tends to build up the Wig :
,rous Anglo-Saxon Commonwealths 9
n the South Pacific must of necessity, I

PEACE PROSPECTS.

Our foreign advices indicate the
preservation of peace between Eng
land and Russia, although both
nations are keeping up their warlike
preparations. The Gar, it seems,
accepted England's final proposal in
regard to the Afghan boundary, so
that the points at issue between the
two powers have been settled without
reference to arbitration. This is
more in accordance with the dignity
of great nations than if they had re-
ferred a question involving their
honor and prestige to a third power,
to determine according to prejudice
or policy, whica should be adjudged
in the wrong. But it is past doubt
that the present settlement cannot
be regarded as final unless Russia
consents to a British protectOrate
over Afghanistan. Otherwise there
will always be an excuse found for
encrOachment on the part of the
Russians, whose generals appear to
be inspired with the ambition to in
wade and conquer India. But with
British supremacy established in
Afghanistan, there would be an in
surmountable barrier to Russian
aggression from the west.
1t further appears that the prospect
of settlement of the Afghan dispute
has had a stimulating effect upon
business in the United Kingdom.
The demand for labor has increased
so greatly as to check emigration.
This will doubtless react upon the
United States, where there has been
4 very prolonged period of depression.

THE RICE MARKET.

Advices received from our special
correspondent at San Francisco, by
the Mariposa, note that Hawaiian
rice is firm at 81 cents. The old crop
is fully exhausted, and there is less
than ESQ bars in.first hands, which
is closely held. It will be fully a
month before any of the new crop
can be received, and a shortage was
expected on account of the storms
that recently visited the Islands,
when so much paddy was washed
away and destroyed. Importers in
San Francisco advanced their prices,
much to the surprise and disgust of
the retailers. Receipts of Island rice
at San Francisco have been light for
this year, being almost 1900 bags
short of the amount received in the
corresponding period of 1884. The
comparative statement of receipts
stands thus:

port of the sugar crop, there is indeed
good cause for congratuIation to Ha-
Waiians,
