MONDAY seI
THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly adjourned
some business. The Mechanics Lien
bill was considered and read a third
time. 1t is a long bill, and on motion to
strike out section by Mr.. Dole, short
discussion took place, Mr.. Aholo moving
the indefinite postponement Of the entire
measure A motion to adjourn was in
terposed and prevailed, and the Legisla-
ture will have another opportunity Of
considering the bill when it comes up
as unfinished business. Several mem
bers spoke strongly in its favor.
The question OF quarantine was raised
by Mr.. Castle, who called attention to
the prevalence Of cholera at Yokohama,
and urged the necessity for taking pre-
cautions against it's introduction by any
vessels coming direct from that port.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson explained
that the Board of Health had already
adopted precautionary measures, and
read the instructions issued to the pilots.
These will be found in our report of
the Legislative proceedings. 1t is note
worthy, however, that upon the first
occasion for enforcing these regulations,
after the explanation by His Excellency,
the pilot in charge of the vessel thought
lessly violated them. We refer to the
case of the Russian war ship
Moskau, particulars of which occurrence
are detailed in our local columns. 1t is
regrettable that the Russian Admiral
and his distinguished party should
have been put to inconvenience
or annoyance through the care
lessness of the pilot, but the public
health is paramount to all mere ques
tons of courtesy, and there was nothing
else to be done than order the ship tC
anchor outside pending the adoption OF
precautionary measures to guard against
an outbreak of cholera 1t should be
explained, however, that there was ne
sickness on board.

THE NEWS.

The news from Europe by the Mari
palace plot at Sophia ended
in the overthrow of Prince Alex
ander of Bulgaria, and a counter
revolution is liable to place him on the
throne. England suggests his restoration,
as the Bulgarian people are favorable
to him The army is not disafected,
and the leaders in the Palace conspiracy
appear to be left without support or
sympathy. Russia is credited with TO-
menting this trouble as an excuse for
ten war or WIN
Turkey. Diplomacy may be able to set
tie this affair satisfactorily, but we doubt
it. The deposed Prince is a very capa-
BILE soldier, ard just the kind of leader
the Bulgarian nation needs. He is at
once energetic and ambitious, and it
will be difficult to compel him to occupy
an Insignificant position in Europe after
the brilliant opening he has made. If
the st. Petersburg Government has
made up its mind to fight, however,
there will not be wanting reasons
enough to satisfy the Car that it is his
duty to draw the sword in defense of
Holy Russia.
Domestic politics are the prime con-
sideration in the British Isles just now,
and Mr. Gladstone is as enthusiastic as
ever in agitating for Irish Parliamentary
independence. The Government policy,
as enunciated by Lord Randolph Church
i'll, is cautious and conservative, but low
prices for agricultural products and the
pinch of hard times will make the task
of governing Ireland without coercion a
difficult one. 1t is to be attempted, and
a Royal Commission will be appointed
to offset the misery caused by eviction
for non-payment of rent, although how
this is to meet the pressing requirements
of the case is not very apparent. PIT
the Tories have faith in R RIVAL Commits
SONS ms ana although appearances are not
very encouraging, it may work well
enough. We still hold to the opinion
that Ireland cannot be properly gov
erned except under its own Legislature
and laws.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR GOV
ERNOR OF CALIFORNIA

The Republican State Convention of
California closed its labors at the city of
Los Angeles on the 9th of August, after
nominating John F. Swift of San Fran
cisco for Governor. There were four
nominations for Governor placed before
the Convention, but before the seventh
ballot was reached it was evident that
the fight was between General Di-
mond and John F. Swift, both of San
Francisco. The seventh ballot was
counted with the following result: Swift
137, Dimond 1876, Reed 70, Harrison 10S.
Total vote, 345; necessary to choice,
229. 1t was expected that the deadlock
would break on the eighth ballot either
for General Dimond or John F. Swift
When the eighth ballot was taken no
change occurred until the Twenty-ninth
Assembly District of San Francisco was
reached, when that district, which had
been voting solid for General Dimond,
went to Swift. The break once made,
other delegations changed their, votes
until Swift received 325 votes, and the
nomination was afterwards made unani-
nous
The result of the vote is considered
most mpl;mentary to General Dl-

A Distinguished visitor.

Among the passengers by the steam
ship Mariposa was Senior Eduardo
Prado, Second Secretary to the Brazilian
Legation in London, who is on his way
to Java to fulfill a mission entrusted to
him by his Government, to report upon
the methods of coffee culture in that
country. The culture of coffee has
always been an important industry in
the Brazils, but the bulk of the product
OF that country has never had high pO-
sition in the markets of the world. Like
all other agricultural industries, this has
suffered severely for some time past
from the low prices prevailing for every
description OF produce, and improved
methods of culture and the wise selec-
ton of plants themselves have become
the growth OF coffee has any prominent
position. The particular inquiry with
which Senior Prado is charged has its
interest for this couRtry also. Coffee OF
a really fine quality has been grown
! here for years, but a blight which no
one has hitherto learned how to con-
tend with, coupled with the low prices
in foreign markets, appear to have
almost extinguished the industry, as we
do not now produce on the Islands all
the coffee needed for home consumption.
Senior Prado's report, when published,
may therefore be OF practical use to
those who would willingly devote capt.
tai to coffee growing here, ii the difficult
ties which at present hinder it can be
| overcome.
During his brief stay here Senior
| Prado was received at private audience
| by His Majesty the King. Senior A.
de Souza Canavarro, Commissioner for
| Portugal, accompanied him to the audi
ence, to which he was introduced by
His Excellency Honorable Robert ].
Creighton, Minister of Foreign Affairs
His Excellency Honorable Paul P. Ka.
noa, Minister of Finance, was present at
| the audience, and His Majesty was also
attended by Colonel Honorable Curtis
P Iaukea, His Majesty's Chamberlain
