THAT cORoNER's INQUEST.

1t is quite clear that some one is on
the scent for an office. The labored at
tack In yesterdays Gazette" upon the
Deputy Marshal and the Coroner's jury
which sat on board the Mariposa, dis
closes a still hunt for Office under the
plea Of public discussion. The accident
on board that vessel was most regretta-
BILE on account of the loss of life involved,
but we fail to note in the facts disclosed
on the evidence anything whatever to
Justify the article in question. There
was no attempt to hide anything. Every
point involved was brought out, and in
stead of censuring the Coroner, jury and
Chief Engineer, we think they deserve
credit for the part they took in the of
fetal investigation which necessarily re-
suited in the finding Of the jury.
The "Gazette" insinuates that the
boiler was Of faulty construction; that
il was in dangerous condition and that
steam was got up in a reckless manner.
To one and all of these suggested
charges we say there is no evidence to
sustain them. The Mariposa is a Hroyai
-isaai1-4staazsEEss @esers FEETHew Zealand
and New South Wales, also carrying the
Hawaiian and United States mail under
contract. 1t was of the utmost i'm
portance that she should sail upon
schedule time, but instead of proceed
ing ON the voyage as she would have
done if the accident had happened at
rou 1ako,,4.o-, A~No - l..
the fullest inquiry to be made into all
the facts and circumstances This was
done to satisfy the passengers on board,
as well as their friends ashore, and to
enable the authorities to make rigid
investigation into the cause OF loss of
life. The result has been already pub
ished in the ADVERTISER, and the gen
eral verdict of the public approved
what had been done. But an attack was
to be made upon the Oceanic Steamship
Company and its local agents, Messrs.
VIM. g. Irwin & Co., and through them
also upon Mr.. Dayton for Interior and by
no means public purposes.
This is not the occasion to discuss the
law regarding the conduct of Coroners'
inquests nor the office of Coroner it
self. 1t is very old English institution,
but of late years has ceased to be of
much practical value. In Scotland, |
where life and property are more scru-
pulously guarded than in most other
countries, the Office Of Coroner is un-
known, and we are inclined to think that
the Scotch rather than the English
method of procedure in such preliminary
Investigations is best adapted to the con-
ditions of social life in this Kingdom.
But as we have already said, this is not
the occasion for such discussion. Re
speeding the Coroner's inquest on board
the Mariposa, however, there is no room
to find fault either with the mode, scope
or result of the investigation.

British bark Cbilena sails to-day with
1880 bags of sugar for San Francisco.
Is this in accordance with the terms OF
the charter party, which, am told on
reliable authority, specifically provides
that suficiency OF sugar shall be fur
nished to ballast the ship? And / am
also informed this sugar is taken free, also
contrary to the wishes of the Captain.
How much did the Australia get per ton
for the 10000 bags she took? And the
above with eleven American vessels IN
port and six foreign vessels due here
soon, with goods which will be brought
into competition with American goods.
| OF course the most OF them will load
sugar for San Francisco and wheat foI
Europe, and be on hand again for next
years crop of sugar, but presume it is
all right, as this sugar is not for Spreck-
els. Opposition press will now b'

A Loyal Man.

When Butler was in command at New Or

arrests for all sorts of reasons; AMI the Of
tenders who were brought before him, no
matter the grade of the otfense, were gen
erallv exiled to Ship island, an exceeding ~
unpleasant place of retreat at any season Oh

his business eye, talking very outrageously
and in style calculated to produce mis-

The old gentleman protested that he had
said nothing particularly bad, and suggested
that the irate general had been misinformed
But it was to no purpose. Butler waxed
more and more indignant, and declared he
would send him to Ship island. After much

FISH AcCLIMAT1zATIoN.

The consignment of 100000 white
fish eggs from Worthwhile, Michigan, to
New Zealand, which was on board the
Alameda, was the fourth of the kind sent
through to the Colonies. The first mill
ion were destroyed through neglect in
Auckland. The second consignment
succeeded, and white-fsh are now estab-
lished in several of the New Zealand
lakes, especially in Canterbury province.
One million white-fish eggs consigned to
Ballarat, Victoria, two years ago by the
City of Sydney, were delivered in good
order at Sydney to the coasting steamer,
the commander of which thought the
eggs required heat and planted them on
deck during the trip to Melbourne, of
course destroying them all. There is no
reason to doubt the safe arrival of this
last shipment at Auckland and proper
care in distribution. New Zealand will
soon be well stocked with white-fsh.
The California and Scotch salmon intro
duced in past years Matched out success
fully, but the fish never returned to the
streams, Trout of several varieties are

placed as sailors on the steamer Kinau

one woman were shipped to Mahukona,
Hawaii, to work at the landing, and the
same number will be sent to kahului

4 Chinese Funeral.

On Tuesday morning Chinaman was
buried at the Nuuanu Valley Cemetery
with great ceremony. The body was
enclosed in plain coffin and carried in
one of Williams hearses. On the coffin
was small roll of mating and other
things belonging to the dead man. Fol-
lowing this was an express containing a
Chinese band, which made a most
horrible noise the whole route of the
procession. About fifteen other expresses
joined in, each full of Cinnamon, most
of whom had fire crackers or some eat
ables in their hands. The latter were
deposited on the grave. The horses
attached to several private carriages
were considerably scared at the process
sion, but fortunately no accident oc-
Cured.

Arrival of His Majesty the King.

The steamer w. g. Hall arrived from
Hawaii yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
with His Majesty the King on board.
The Royal standard was flying from the
mainmast, and as the steamer entered
the mouth of the harbor royal salute
was fired from the shore battery at Ka-
kaako. The Interisland Steam Naviga-
ton Company's wharf was crowded with
spectators to welcome home His Majesty
to the capital city. Among those present
were: His Excellency Governor J. O..
DomiDis, Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Their
Excellencies Walter NJ Gibson, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and Paul Neumann,
Attorney General Hon. Curtis 2. Iaukea,
Collector General; Col. J. H. Boyd, of
His Majesty's staff; and Majors A. Rosa
and j. ID. Holt, Jr., of the Governors
staff. His Majesty, on alighting from
the steamer, entered his carriage and
was at once driven to the Palace. Ar
irving there he was received by the
Royal Household troops, the band play
ing the National Anthem. During the
afternoon large number of His Majes-
tvs subjects called upon him to extenda
welcome home after his somewhat
lengthy absence from Honolulu. A luau
was held, which was attended principally
by Hawaiian subjects. His Majesty is
looking exceedingly well after his trip.

A Narrow Escape.

Yesterdaymorning shortly before noon
a Chinaman who lives in a store on Nuu-
anu street, just below the Empire saloon,
had been using sun glass. He washed
it and placed it on the roof of a small
building to dry. About twenty minutes
afterwards a neighbor discovered that
the roof of this building was on fire.
Assistance was promptly at hand and
the blaze was put out without much
damage being done. Quite large hole
was burned in the roof, and the side of
an adjoining building was also scorched.
The heat from the sun glass was the
cause of the fire without doubt. 1t is
fortunate the blaze was discovered in
good time.

understand the import of the late cleo

slowly but surely TO impress itself upon
the intelligence of the more astute; by

it is probable that all will have been

the men who introduced the 'yellow

the country with cheap Chinese labor by
every underhand contrivance, are the
very men who stand behind the Ca

is an offense to every truthful and manly
man in the community. The article IN

and uncalled for. Does our contempor-

We would suggest to our friends OF the
Fire Department that some other and
more secluded place might be found for
their practice than Merchant street,
between Fort street and the Post Office.
1t is always pleasure to see them at
work, and were it not that one may
have "too much of a good thing" we
should be exceedingly pleased to have
them play at fire extinguishing all the
year round. But when the streets are
rendered impossible, and access to the
Post Office and business premises is rem
dered impossible, the case becomes
slightly different. And just here it oc-
ours to us that should real fire break
out after the "wild waste Of water" occa-
stoned by the practice drill in question,
there might be scarcity of fluid for solid
work, to the serious loss of property. 0f
course there may be some useful purpose
served by this wasteful demonstration,
and if so, we would suggest hereafter
that it take place on the Esplanade or
some other locality not frequented by
business people.

A CORRESPONDENT writes protesting
against local contemporary associating
General Hancock's name, even in death,
with that of Horatio NJ. Seymour, twice
Governor of New York. The heroic life
of General Hancock cannot be too highly
spoken of. He never blundered in
action, and was perhaps the most sue
cessful fighting general of his age.
Seymour was elected war Governor of
