starting on the Goth of. the present
month. The news of this addition to
the population will be welcome to
planters generally.
Mr.. Irwin states that he was well
received by Count Inouye on present.
ing his credentials, and the Yoke
hama press makes very favorable
mention Of his appointment. The
Japan Herald, after a warm euIogy
of our Charge d'Afaires, and 1.-the
judfcious measures resorted to by
him to secure suitable classes Of i'm
migrants" adds "For attention to
its affairs here, the Hawaiian Gov
eminent could not have selected a
more judicious representative than
Mr.. Irwin" And the Japan Daily
Mail. at much greater length, COM
ments on the Importance of the Office
and the judiciOus character of the
appointment. 1t recognizes that en-
igration from Japan to Hawaii is an
! established fact, and that, Judging
! from the experience of the Japanese
who have been there for a number of
years, as well as the reports which
have reached Japan with reference to
recent emigration, the settlement of
Japanese in Hawaii gives every
promise of success. Under these cir
cumstances it is of the first import
ance that there should be some means
of direct and authoritative communi-
cation between the Governments of
the two countries. The appointment
of Mr.. Irwin furnishes this, and will
undoubtedly go far towards strength
ening the bond which has been Gre
ated between Japan and Hawaii" In
another place it states that the selec-
ton of Mr.. Irwin is in every
respect happy one" while it re-
marks that the diplomatic relations
between the two countries "are un-
doubtedly likely to become very inn
portant in the near future" We thus
have the wisdom of the policy of the
administration in establishing diplO-
matte relations with Japan, recog-
nized by perfectly independent and
well informed newspapers in that
country.

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.

A recent issue of the ADVERTISER
contained an article from the San
Francisco Merchant commenting
upon the unwillingness of the Pacific
Mail Company to pro-rate with the
Oceanic S. S. Company on through
passenger traffic from Australia to
England or California. The ADvER-
TIsER also plainly indicated the
loss to Honolulu, through this apathy
on the part of the Pacific Mail Com
pany, in a pecuniary point of view,
as it prevented the expenditure of
large sums of money by tourists, be-
sides the circulation of general in
formation regarding the advantages
t1 hn 6nriund frnn- nnr climate and
the beauties of our natural scenery.
From our special correspondent in
San Francisco we learn that deliber-
ate mis-statements have been made
by the Sydney agents of the Pacific
Mail Company to several gentlemen
tourists who recently visited our
shores for a few weeks. These gen.
tIemen-Lord Elphinstone, Mr. James
Ashbury and Mr.. G.. Wolff-have
since their arrival in San Francisco,
expressed in the highest terms, their
appreciation of the Hawaiian hospi-
tally extended to them during their
stay here, besides the pleasure expert
enced in their travels through our
group of islands. 1t is consequently
the more to be regretted that their
visit here should, in any way, have
been cause of annoyance to them.
On purchasing, in Sydney, their
through tickets to England, they
were distinctly given to understand
that they could remain here for
week or fortnight, and continue their
journey to San Francisco in one of
the steamers of the Oceanic line. In
this, on their arrival here, they found
themselves mistaken, but rather than
wait for the next regular steamer of
the Pacific Mail line they preferred to
pay their full passage to San Fran
cisco on the Oceanic Company's
steamer, the accommodation on
which was so much superior. On
their arrival in New York they will
make their full complaint at head |
quarters, and, as they are gentlemen
of considerable influence and import |
ance socially, it is to be hoped that |
the reforms needed in this cOnnec- |
ton may be satisfactorily effected. |
If so, while regretting their inoOn-
venience, we shall be able to rejoice
upon the gain to Honolulu and the |
islands. We may then hear nothing !
further perhaps, of the Pacific Mail
Company being " bought" from COM
petition.

QUEEN EMMA'S WILL.

We print elsewhere a copy of the
late Queen Dowager Emn1a's will. 1t
is accompanied by cOdicil which,
although not duly executed in legal
form, should most certainly be given
effect to, as the latest expression of
her intention regarding the founding
of an institution which should pre-
serve the historical traditions and
customs of the native Hawaiian race.
The will is carefully drawn, and dis
plays throughout the thoughtful and
gentle character of the royal devisor.
The ties of friendship and of kim
dred are recognized in a becoming,
even liberal manner; but equal to all
the rest is the recognition of the
claims of charity. The Queens Hos
pital is the one charitable institution
which the late Queen Dowager has
made the most ample provision for.
Shortly before her death Queen En-
ma remarked to friend that Luna
lilo had provided for INDECENT Ha-
Waiians that Mrs. Bishop had provided
for their education, and that she
would care for the sick. And well
and nobly has she given effect to her
charitable intention. She has also
founded four scholarships in st. An
drew's Priory, to be called Queen
Emma's scholarships, the endow-
ment fund being 5000 a year.
The provisions of the will are very
precise, and the document well de-
serves perusal.

MONTAGUE-TURNER CONCERTS.
Successful Opening at the Music Hall.

The temperance at the Music Hall
last evening of Miss Annis Montague aud
Mr.. Charles Turner, was taken advantage
of by the music-loving people Of Homo
lulu, who, in spite of the fine rain that
commenced falling early in the evening,
filed the hall and listened delighted to
the gifted siagers.
The Introductory pianoforte duet by
Miss C. Castle and Mr.. G. L. Babcoc k
was we'll played, and it may be remarked
just here that Mr.. Babcock's accompani-
ments on the piano during the evening
were very good, and added materially to
the enjoyment of the entertainment.
Mr.. Charles Turner sang ''The Last
Watch" with much feeling, and in spite
of n slight cold, his voice proves to b
even better than when he was here
few years ago. When he sang asH'n. IL
christmas Song" he dill even better
than at first, and at the close, III the duet
in the parting::scene in "Lrcia," he to *
the audience by storm.
Miss Annis Montague sang first he
sweet ballad, ''Sing Sweet Bird, - and
being recalled in very positive manner,
she rendered Home, Sweet Home" with
S simple pathos and sympathetic ring to
her voice that showed she felt the senti-
ment expressed in the song.
The Part Song, May" by the Choral
Club, was given in way that promised
better things in future concerts, when the
Club is more accustomed to public re-
hearsals. The new musical society that
form the Choral Club possesses probably
the best singing voices we have in Homo
lulu, and it remains with their musical
director to blend them more harmoni-
ously together.
Miss Montague's singing in Meyerbeer's
Aria, Ombra Leggiera "Dinorah was
excellent, but the orchestral accOmpani-
ment was simply wretched. The most
feature in it was the thump-
ing of somebody's foot Ike eping time, and
even that was 8 failure. Miss Non
tagues self-possession carried her through

Heavy Weather.

Captain D. McGregor, of the schooner
Manuokawai, reports of the very heavy
rains at KOolau and Laie, Oahu. The
natives said they had not experienced
such heavy rains for the past thirty years.
Large portions of the banks and the
mouth of the stream at Laie were washed
away and the houses flooded. Considerable
damage was done at Koolau. The Chinese
rice planters suffered loss of over fifty
acres of cultivated rice lands. Another
Chinaman lost fourteen horses from ex-
posture. The fish ponds were washed
away, and dead cells and squids line the
shore.

WENT OVER THE LIMIT.
a Washington Sharper AttemptstO Work
Gen. Taylor, But it Won't Go.
From the Courier-Journa1.

from the Courier d 0nI7Jdt
WASHINGTON, April 20.-A sharper,
giving the name of Mitchell, well-dres-
Ged man of fair address, who at one time
lived in st. Louis, has been in town sew
eral weeks working the applicants for
office. His plan was an old one. He
pretended to have great influence with
heads of departments, and for con-
sideration would engage to secure lucra-
tive places for people. He put his fee
ordinarily at 5000, although in some cases
he offered to take less. After the appoint
ment of Mr.. Colman, a Missourian, as
Commissioner of Agriculture, Mitchell
made a speciality of that department, and
had its entire patronage in his mind pretty
well farmed out.
One day last week Mitchell was intro
duced to Gen. Taylor and Mr.. James
Rudd, of Louisville, by gentleman who
had known him when he was respect
able man. Mitchell soon, however, gave
the conversation a professional turn, and
offered his services to his new acquaint-
ances. They were not accepted, and he
took his leave. Later. Gen. Taylor and
MIR. Rudd called on Mitchell at his invita-
ton at his room. On Friday last he ap-
prOacneu Jne TWO gentlemen again, ana
this time proposed something big for
them.
"Why don't you go in for a tat place-a
post leadership, say! Those places well
managed are worth 100000 a year. Now,
for $4,000 Pll secure you one of those ap-
pOintments."
THAT is certainly a generous offer'' re-
piled Gen. Taylor, 'and it would be good
investment
do you think you can carry that out ~
asked the General, satisfied that the
fellow was a rascal, and anxious, if
possible, to lead him on and to trap
him.
Mitchell said he was on the "insida'' at
the Interior Department and could work
things. Gen. Taylor said he'd see what
he could do. He then told Judge Durham
and Gen. King about Mitchell and sent
word to Secretary Lamar of his bOasttul
street talk. The next day, however,
Mitchell was exposed in an afternoon
paper, and since that time he has been
crushed.
1t is not known how many confding
people he succeeded in fleeing, but it
is very certain that his negotiation for
$4,000 from Gen. Taylor fell through.

HARD ON JUDGE HANNA.
An Indianian Sums Up the HOnOrs VS..
the Expenses of the Persian Mission.
From " Conrier- Journal.

From the Courier journal.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-''I tell you, it
doesn't look right" said an Indiana man
this morning to local reporter, "to ask
Judge Hanna TO represent this govern
ment in a country where the people ride
about in sedan chairs. How would Judge
Hanna look, now, sailing along the noun
talns in a chair? 1t isn't dignifed, and
doesn't become a State which gave YOU
your Vice President in 1876 and in 1884.
That isn't all. 1t just costs 800 for the
transportation Of each adult from New
York to Persia and $3.50 for every child.
Therefore the Judge would be required TO
spend 50 800 of his own money to reach
his mission and a similar amount to re-
turn, or one years salary. If be should
want to come home to vote, it would re-
quire a special appropriation by the In
diana Legislature, and he would have to
start about Christmas in order to reach
Indiana on time. Call you this remem-
bering of your friendsW
''Wiu Judge Hanna accept the appoint
ment?"
Il don't know. He has too much respect
for Secretary Bayard and tOomuch regard
tor President Cleveland to manifest any
other feeling than that Of calm delibera-
ton over the honOrs extended. But do
man in voice tremulous with emotion,
"why we have Minister resident and

sionaries. Think what a figure Judge

THE ST LOUIS rRUNK TRAGEDY.
Clues in San FranciscO-The Murderer
Believed to be Hugh Maxwell Brooks.

Clues in San FranciscO-The Murderer
Believed to be Hugh Maxwell Brooks.
SAN FRANCISCO, April OFT is now
known that Maxwell, who is believed to
be the man who registered at the Palace
Hotel as F. c. D'Auguier, did not sleep IN
the hotel the night he was here. lie
visited a certain house and, under the IN
f1uence of wine, became very laxative.
The proprietress of the house, when in
terviewed, said that he introduced
himself as a Frenchman. He recounted
many warlike deeds, and showed
her a diamond ring with deep claws
for setting, the stone in which
weighed about three-quarters of a carat.
AS further evidence of the large quantity
of jewelry of which he claimed to be pos
sessed he showed her chain with links
about an inch in length, the alternate
links being of gold and platinum. She
observed that he had a three-cornered
scar under his chin. During the early
part of the evening he spoke in broken
English, but on looking over a photograph
album be suddenly calculated ia ggost eX-
cellent English: "Oh, that's Henry Irving
and Miss Terry" Ola G9eing tae photo
graphs.
The open-faced silver watch, which he
had brought from st. Louis, was eX-
changed by him here for another. The
former has been found. 1t bears on the
inside Of the outer case the number
1916. Following the number is a dot
underlined, then the figure 1, with long
down stroke, and the figure So. Below
these are the figures D, with down
stroke, and SO, under which are the
letters "W. ". R." underlined by the
letters 81. c. o." On the inside case are
the figures >, with down stroke, and So,
under which are the capital letters I'D.
N" On the inside OF the brass cap,
which covers the works, is written in ink.
"H. NJ. Brooks" with figures which are
either 902, 402, or 1902.
The importance OF this discovery is that
the name is the same as that subscribed
to the ticket purchased from the St. Louis
and San Francisco Road in st. Louis, and
which was afterward collected from the
man who afterward registered here as
"UAuguier." A comparison of the writ
ing on the ticket and in the watch case
shows 1t to have been done by the same
person, the only difference being slight
change in the letter IS" in the word
Brooks"
Capt. Lees, of the detective police, who
unearthed these clues, raises the query
whether II. NJ. Brooks is not the correct
name of the alleged murderer and not
Walter II. LennOX Maxwell. He believes
the mans name to be hugh Maxwell
Brooks, his belief being based partly on
the fact that the same two initials appear
in both names. The man has been traced
to every place he visited while in this city.
the result confirms the previous assertion
that he sailed on the City OF Sydney.

A Newly Appointed Policeman Distin-
cuisines Himself by His First Arrest.

A Newly Appointed Policeman Distin-
cuisines Himself by His First Arrest.
BALTIMORE, April 21.-When John
Saunders, young farmer of Calvert
county, was appointed a policeman in
this city, he came here anxious to distin-
guish himself in his new role. John f.
Gray, white man, had lust been muir
dered on SOlomon's Island by a colored
man named Moses Purvey, who had fed.
Knowing that Purvey had a relative in
Baltimore, Saunders made a memo
randum of his appearance and
the circumstances of the crime.
Without informing his superiOrs, Saun-
deTs since residing in Baltimore has been
quietly looking for the murderer, spending
several nights watching the house of the
latter's mother. Last week he caught a
cOlOred man going into Mrs. Purvey's
house who answered the description of
Moses. Saunders arrested the suspect
and was officially frOwned upon for doing
so, as the prisoner denied all knowledge
of the case and there was no evidence
against him except the description in the
officers memorandum book. He was held
until to-day, when Magistrate Helling
and Rev. DR.. Steele, of Calvert county,
arrived here and identified him as Gray's
slayer. PurVey has confessed his guilt.
He killed Gray at a county fair, and will
probably hang for the crime.
