Arrival OF the zeaIandia.

The steamship Zealandia arrived last
evening at O'Clock, Z days and hours
from San Francisco. She hauled away
from the Pacific Mail wharf at the latter
place at 6:15 a. IN. on January 9th, and
anchored in the stream. Started from
there at 2:45 p. m. the same day, but on
account of a thick fog outside the heads
was detained there trying to find the pilot
cutter Ultimately this had to be given up,
and the pilot was brought on to Honolulu.
Another pilot, who went on board for
passage to the cutter outside the bar, was
also brought here. On account OF this the
steamer was detained FIVE hours and half.
The evening before the steamer left the
steyedores knocked off work at half-past 3
O'Clock for supper. When they returned
Mt O'Clock they found the dead body of
George Hart, longshoreman. i'll the lower
Eorehold directly under the open hatchway.
His head was horribly mashed. 1t is sup
posed that the unfortunate man went on
hoard while the stevedores were at supper,
and fell down the open hatch. She brought
five passengers, 81 bags OF mail, cargo
and specie valued at $4,000 for this port,
and had a large cargo in transit for Sydney.
After taking mails on board, she left again
for sydney soon after 3 a. III.

most emphatic victory. Cheers after cheers
we're sent up. Orators by the score shouted
forth peans of exultation and victory or
apologies for defeat; the balustrades of
the upper gallery as well as of the base
ment being used as forum. Good natured
badinage was freely exchanged and all
were jublant, merry and good tempered.
Hundreds of men and women also squatted
on the ground listening TO the rapidly be-
coming hoarse voices of the noisy takers,
or patiently Willing away the time with
lively conversation or innocent star-gaZing
About ten minutes past eight O'Clock
patient expectancy was rewarded by stir
and cheer and the assisting Of Messrs.
Hayselden, Keau, Lilikalani and Baker to
standing perch on the lower balustrade,
while Judge Bickerton and Interpreter
Wilcox took their stands with the official
returns on the upper gallery. With wave
of the Judges hand perfect silence was OBJ
tanned, and the Judge briefly said that he
was about to announce the official returns
of the vote cast in the district of Honolulu
| for representatives to the Legislature, and
| he trusted that Immediately after he had
| concluded his declaration all present would
| at once go home as quietly as possible. He
/ then announced that 9, 157 votes had been
! polled, of which the following candidates
had received the number of votes an
/ nounced:
(Kekaha) ......I i3I Iani ...... .........1 ,sI6
Hon. James Keau...1 43Ol Hon. J. T. Baker-1 ,O6S
4 Cheers were loud and continuous, and
when order was again restored the an
nOuncements continued amid laughter and
! darisjve cheers as follows.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

The election contest is over, and it is
proper to say few words about it before
dismissing the subject. 1t was impor-
tant, not so much on account of the per-
sons directly engaged in the election, as
on account of the interest and principles
involved That the National ticket was
elected by so large a majority must be a
subject for congratulatiOn to all lovers Of
the Hawaiian race and country. Ii the
poll had been a close one it might have
encouraged the enemies of Hawaiian in
dependence and progress to renewed eff
forts; but the numbers polled for and
against the National cause leave the enc
less minority.
There is this to be said, however, that
the defeat of the Opposition candidates
was not brought about through want of
organization, nor from any lack of fertil-
ity Of resoure or unscrupulousness in its
use; because the two leading candidates
on the Opposition ticket, who really
made the fight, permitted their names
to be associated with methods which
honorable men would avoid, and COM
mitted themselves to statements which
truthful men would not make. And
they have their just reward.
So far as the ADVERTISER is concerned
it bears no malice to anyone, and we
trust that the community will settle
down to business with an honest resolve
all round to work Loyalty in support
of the Administration in its efforts to
promote the general welfare. There has
been enough pickering and abuse on the
part Of Opposition partisans and writer's,
and as there is nothing to be gained by
it, common sense would suggest its dis
continuance. The people have pro-
nounced against them and their cause
and they should accept defeat, if not
with a good grace, at least without max
ing wry faces and letting people know
how much they are hurt.
= The victory of the National party in
Honolulu and in the country districts has
been so complete that it can afford to
concede one seat to the Opposition, more
especially as the majority polled by Mr..
Cecil Brown over his opponent was so
very narrow. 1t simply shows that with
proper exertion on the part of the Ma
tional candidate he might have changed
places with his successful rival.
We anticipate equally sweeping ma
jorities for the National candidates on
the other Islands, where distrust of the
Opposition is very strongly grounded in
the native people; but Of course every
thing is in doubt until the arrival of the
iGRerisland mails in due course of post.

HOneward Bound.

Among the passengers leaving San Fran
cisco next month for the Islands, by the
steamer Alameda, will be Mr.. E. r. Hen
dry, late Deputy Collector of Customs at
Honolulu. For the past seven months
Mr.. Hendry has been engaged in the office
OF the Hawaiian Consul General at this
port, where his extensive and thorough
knowledge of affairs pertaining to the Gus
toms Department on the Islands has been
of the greatest assistance. In instancing
his compilation of the Hawaiian Tariff as
a wade mecum for exporters of me."han-
disc from this port to the Islands, we know
that this accurate and complete classifi-
cation of the goods that are dutiable and
free of duty has proved of incalculable
value to our merchants. 1t has not only
been the means of saving time to them in
dividually, and also at the Office of the Ha-
waiian Consulate General, but it has
simplifed matters at the Honolulu Gus
tom House in the clearance of consign-
ments. Mr.. Hendry has further become
as well and favorably known in San Fran
cisco for his prompt and courteous atten-
ton to business men as he was at the capt
tai of the Kanaka Kingdom. The length
of his stay on the Islands is at present I'M
determined.-[S San Francisco Merchant. "

THE SUGAR MARKET
a General Drop in the Quotations
Around the World.

The correspondent of the ADVERTISER at
San Francisco writes US the gloomy news
of decline, all round, in the worlds sugar
market. This is especially unfortunate for
Hawaiian planters, as the new crop is just
coming on the market in San Francisco,
and decline in prices means serious loss
to those who are locally interested. Mr.. {.
L. G. Steele, President of the American
Sugar Refinery, has been in New York for
some weeks ordering new and additional
machinery for his present gigantic enter
prise. 1t is a strange, though true, fact
that Hawaiian sugars have been offering
in San Francisco at one cent q pound less
than the price now being paid by the
American Refinery to many OF your plant
ers. When the owner of one lot of this
going-a-begging sugar could not effect
sale he was advised to eat his sugar, but
this he considered to be somewhat sickly
subject. From all points there are reports
of stagnant and declining condition OF af-
fairs. In

less encouraging advices from London, the
market was again quiet, buyers having ap-
parently satisfied their present require
ments, and no further business transpired,
but the market left off steady. No transac-
| tions have been reported in Cuba cargoes
on cost and freight terms, but there have
been sales of beet, February shipment, at
| lbs. 3D., cost and freight, for seconds. First
offered at 15s. 3D., cost and freight, but the
| lower grades are most in demand. Spot
stocks continue to decrease, but refiners

almost wholly of beet.
THE LONDON MARKET
The raw market opened with public sales
on 5th January, after having been closed
22d December, when the large quantity of
1 200 tons was offered, the whole being sold
at and after sale at an advance of Sd. to Sd.

Later again about l 900 tons, chiefly crys-
| tallized were brought to auction, nearly
the whole being sold at steady prices Very
small quantities of MuScovado West India

prices are obtainable. For East India
kinds there is good enquiry, and parcels
sold have fetched stiff prices.

From the newspaper files to hand by the
Zealandia it appears that the amount of
McCarthy's alleged deficiencies have been
materially decreased by the discovery that
numerous claims against the State which
he had properly paid had not been marked
paid " in his cash book. The remaining
deficit is uncomfortable, AMI is about to be
paid by his friends. The prevailing opinion
among the San Francisco lawyers is that
he is still clerk of the Supreme Court, and
entitled to the salary provided he returns
within the sixty days prescribed by law, not
withstanding the fact that Senator Spencer
has been appointed his successor by Gov
ernor Stoneman.

Defeat of the Tory Government of
England.

LONDON, January 26th. - Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, the Conservative leader, gave
notice in the Commons this af ternOon that
the Government would introduce on Thurs
day bill to suppress the Irish National
League and other dangerous societies; to
prevent intimidation, protect life and prop
erty and to maintain public order in Ire
land This announcement was greeted
with loud cheers. Sir Michael said that he
would ask the House to give the bill prece-
dence. He added that this measure would
be followed by bill dealing with the Irish
land question on the lines of policy indi-
Gated by the Land Purchase Act of the last
session.
In the Commons this evening Mr.. Col
ings, member for Ipswich, moved his
amendment to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne on the subject of
allotments. Gladstone strongly supported
Ceilings amendment and the Marquis of
Harrington opposed it. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach said the Government would will
ingly accept the decision of the House, as
they had assumed Office with reluctance
and would resign without regret.
The amendment was adopted by a vote
of 800 to $50, the Government being de-
feated. The result of the division was re-
ceived by the Irish members with derisive
cheers and cries of ''boycotted." The
House, at the suggestion of Sir Michael
Beach, adjourned until Thursday.
