Emigration and EmIErants.

TRANSLATED from the " Fiji shimpo."l
bean appointed a special commissioner
by the Hawaiian Government, with in
ssructions to encourage emigration from
Japan to the Hawaiian Islands, seemed to
the distressed and embarrassed people of
our country like the coming rain in time
of drsught, and since then hundreds have
applied as candidates for selection. The
operations of the human heart are indeed
surprising.
The depression of trade in Japan has
increased month by month and year by
year, showing no signs of abatement. It
seems to have come to a climax during
the autumn of the present year, for the
distress among the agricultural class has
reached a point never before attained.
Most Of the farmers have become unable
to pay their taxes, and, in consequence,
deep and increasing hardship is being en-
tailed on them, hundreds of families, in
one village alone, being compelled to sell
their property in order to iquidate their
debts. Dishonest persons who have suf-
fered from the prevailing depression are
inclined to attribute their losses to the
actions of others, and on this pretext
have caused considerable commotion. In
several cases they broke into tavsrns, or
Quilted pawnbrokers' shops, caring little
what the result of their reckless enter
prises would be-and hardly needing the
circumstances of the local authorities.
Many of the shizoEm have found them
selves reduced to the lowest depth of
poverty, and in more than one case self
destruction has been resorted to as relief
from all worldly distress. Others, bear

United States.


San Francisco, Jan. 17.-Colonel
James J. Ayres. the well-known jour
nalist, and at present State Printer,
aspires to be United States Minister to
the Hawaiian Islands, but does not
expect that Minister Daggett will be
removed very soon. Colonel Ayres
has resided in Honolulu, and doubt
less his appointment would give great
satisfaction to the Bohemian colony
in that city. Major Marion Biggs, of
Butte, would like the Consulate at
Honolulu.-S. F. Post.
San Francisco, Jan. 17.-Now that
the Senate has organized, and bust
ness at the Legislature can go on, the
chief matter which engrosses the
public mind is the selection of a
United States Senator for California.
At Sacramento partizanship runs
high. The adherents of candidates
are so firm in their purpose that it is
possible for them to lose sight of the
great interests of the Republican
party, and the still greater interests
of the State at large. 1t is a remark
able fact that nearly every one has
centered upon Governor Leland Stan
ford as the one man most available
in the interests of Republican har-
mony, and for the material advan-
tages of California.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE speech
made by Senator Morgan in the ex-
ecutive session of the Senate yester-
dav, in favor of the Nicaraguan
Treaty, is regarded as one of the
strongest arguments in favor of the
ratification of that instrument that
has yet been presented.
The new schooner at Whites yard,
at North Beach, San Francisco, is
intended for the Hawaiian Island
trade.
The tug Alert will leave San Fran
cisco for Honolulu about the 23rd
instant.
The Hawaiian bark Kale, from San
Francisco June 1st for Dunkirk,
arrived out on the 30th October. This

JAPANESE IDEAS OF HAWAII.

A translation from a native Japa-
nese paper Of an article on "Emi-
grafton and Emigrants" appears in
another column of this issue of the
ADVERTISER. The translation is
taken from the Japan Weekly Mail
of Goth December last. What it has
to say about the emigration of labor
ers from japan to Hawaii is emil
nently satisfactory because it not
only shows that the enterprise is
popular In japan, but also recapitu-
lates circumstances which make the
present time highly suitable to it.
Japan, like every other country in
the world at the present moment, is
suffering severely from the general
depression in the value of all sorts Of
produce. Her agriculturalists are in
q bad way, and the chance of getting
good and steady wages here is there
fore likely to be more than usually
attractive to agricultural laborers.
Under such circumstances there need
be no fear of our being able to obtain
a large supply of that much needed
commodity-labor-from that source.
The latter part of the article, which
offers some sound advice to persons
who are not laborers, but who may
have formed the intention of coming
here has not the same personal in
terest for US, but some parts of it are
SO highly amusing that we have re-
printed it In full. The advice it gives
is shrewd and sensible. For the
present at least, it is not likely that
many Japanese who are neither agri-
cultural laborers nor domestic SER
wants will and much scope for enter
prise or many ways of making liv-
ing In this country. Some Of the
supposed facts, however, which are
adduced in support Of the editors
advice to his fellow countrymen are
highly 1udicrous and display a sad
ignorance of matters Hawaiian.
They are reproduced without com
ment in the Weekly MoiE, so we may
suppose that the editor of that paper
IL not much better informed than his
native confrere. It is to be hoped
that when we have a contingent OF
Japanese here and a Japanese Con
sulate established in Honolulu these
Japanese fables about Hawaii may
receive some contradiction.

An Incident In the Purchase or the nil
lIonairs's 1860 Acre Farm.
A telegram to the New York Sun
from Jobstown, n. j., says: Recent
publications descriptive Of Pierre To-
rillard's l,G00.acre farm here recall a
story of the millionaire's experience
with a landowner several years ago.
When Lorillard was buying the farms
which he combined into his present one
there remained in the midst Of them
a sixty-acre tract of white-oak tim
Der, owned by the proprietor of coun-
try tavern in the neigbborhood, which
his agents could not secure. Finally
Lorillard himself came down to open
negotiations. He failed to find the
tavern-keeper at home one Saturday,
but the next day the latter, having con-
cluded to sell his sixty acres, went up
to the farm to see Lorillard's agent and
arrange the terms. lie drove uncon-

The man turned without word and

the land. AS he came in the landlord

THE BULGARIAN ARMY.
What Prince Alexander Might Have Brought
into the Field.

What Prince Alexander Mieht Have Brought
Into the Field.
By A decree issued last October,
Prince Alexander OF Bulgaria ordered
q complete reorganization Of his army,
according to which the Bulgarian
forces are composed as follows: Eight
regiments Of infantry Of three dru-
chinas lbattalions) each, armed with
Berdan and Kruka rifles, both Russian
systems. Each druchina numbers 700
men in peace and 900 on the war foot
ing, giving a total force Of $4,000 in
fantry. The cavalry consists Of two re-
giments Of four sotnias (squadrons)
and 600 horses each, beside a
body guard sotnia of 200, or
together of l,400 sabreS. The
artillery force is composed Of two regi-
ments Of six field batteries each, which
number four guns in peace and eight
on the war footing, or fetal Of ninety
six guns of different systems and cali
bres. Finally there is a battalion of
engineers Of four companies and we'll
organized train with well-equipped
arsenals. The reserves consist Of "a
druchinas Of 1000 men each, beside a
final levy Of about 5000 men. Bulga-
ria can therefore place total force of
somewhat over GO, 900 men in the field.
The officers in all the superior positions,
from the Minister Of War down to the
commanders of battalions, are Rus
slams. Beside a few captains, all the
junior officers are Bulgarians, who
have received their military school
ing in Russia. The Roumeian militia
is composed Of 1892 men Of the stand
ing army, 1921 of the first and
II, GAS Of the second levy, beside o.
S7S reserves, 305 cavalrymen. and four
field-guns, or a total of about $1,000
men. The scarcity Of officers, of whom
the Roumelisn forces only number 10,
and the paucity Of cavalry and artil-
lery, coupled with the detective drill
ing Of the reserves, however, detracts
greatly from the military value of the
Roumelian army. Bulgaria also pos
sesses ilotilla on the Danube, consist
ing of five small steamboats,, with one,
two, or three guns each, and six tor
pedo steam-launches, manned together
by a force Of eight officers and 240
men. The naval station is Rustchuck.

RIGHT REV. N. A. CORRTGAN,

Successor as Archbishop OF the Late Cardiun'

BY the death of Cardinal-Archbishop
McCloskey, DR.. Corrigan, previously
Coadiutor- A Archbishop, has become
Archbishop. There remains no Ameri-
can Cardinal.
The Right Rev. Michael Augustine
Corrigan was born in Newark. N. j.,
August Is, 1910, Of parents who were
natives of Ireland. lie was educated
at St. Mary's College, Wilmington,
Del, where he spent two years, and at
Mount st. Mary's, Emmettsburg. After
his graduation, in 1859. he went to Eu-
rope, and was one Of the twelve stu
dents with whom the American College
in Rome was opened. He studied
Italian and Hebrew for year, and
then began the study Of theology.
As student he evidenced remarkable
ability and energy, ard won number
of medals in competition with the stu
dents of the Propaganda and of the
Irish and Greek colleges. He was or

trizi, year before the completion OF
his course as student Of theology.
This honor was done him in recogni-
ton of his excellent conduct as stu
dent. He was made a Doctor of Di-
vinity in the year 1864, after a rigorous
examination.
In the summer of the same year he
returned to his native country, and was
assigned by the late Archbishop Bay
ley, then Bishop of Newark, to the pro-
fessorship of Dogmatc Theology and
Sacred Scripture, and the dictatorship
of the Ecclesiastical Seminary Of Seton
Hall College. Additional to the duties
of this appointment, DR.. Corrigan also
undertook missionary work at South
Orange and Springfield, New Jersey.
He was made president of Setou-llall
College in 1868. During Archbishop
Bayley's stay in Rome, in 1870, Or.
Corrigan was administrator and vicar
general of the diocese. Three years after
Pope Plus TX. appointed him Bishop

founded a reformatory for boys and
women and an asylum for the orphans
OF his diocese. Forty-two new churches
were dedicated by him and several reli-
gious communities founded. Up to
1875 DR.. Corrigan continued president
Of Seton Hall College. He was ap-
pointed Archbishop Of Petra and Co
adjutor-Archbishop with Cardinal
Archbishop McCloskey in 1880. this
being considered advisable on account
Of the increasing inlirmities Of the
venerable prelate whom he was called
to assist.
Two brothers Of Archbishop Corri-
gan are members Of the Catholic clergy,
and his sister, now deceased, was nun.
The successor of Archbishop McCios-
key is young to carry such dignity, but
as Coadjutor he has borne the burden
of the office for years, and has demon
strated his ability for it. Like his pre-
decessor, he is popular both with Cath
olics and Protestants. In person he is
of medium height, strongly.built man,
with kindly countenance.

A San Francisco Call special says
The Corwin has arrived up. She brings
news from the Arctic fleet to August
10Th. The whslers Mabel and George
and Susan were blown ashore in gale
on August 10th in Waynwright's inlet,
m longitude 100, latitude 20. Three Of
the crew Of the latter were lost - viz,
