Doipgs in Dublin.

DUBLIN, February 15.-The corpora
ton of Dublin, to-day, adopted resolu-
tons demanding home rule for Ire
land and expressing reliance
in Mr.. Gladstone's promises and
ability TO secure it. Mr.. Michael
Davitt supported the resolutions and
SAID there were good grounds for a
hope that Gladstone would settle the
home rule question as he settled
the church question: in Ireland;
that Mr.. Parnell was right In trying to
obtain ihome aule first, although he
(Mr. Dayitt) would prefer to see the
Irish land question settled concurrently
on the basis of the present valuation OF
its pr o0uce. Mr.. Davitt appealed; ito
the Protestants of Ireland to cooperate
with the Parnellites.

Tn. Chinese Troubles on the-ooast


WAsH1NeToN, February 15.-Thc CHI
nese minister called at the State De-
partmenkto-day and laid before secre-
tary Bayard sundry long kilograms re
ceived by him from California to the
effect that there is a concerted
movement in progress to drive
out the Chinese from all the Clowns
and cities of California, except San
Francisco, and that the Governor of the
State and the sheriffs of various coun-
ties evince no disposition to protect the
Chinese in their rights. The telegram
also asserts that the threatened action
would not only be disastrous to the
Chinese laboring class, but ruin
Gus to the Chinese merchants of
San Francisco 1t is understood
representations were made by
the Chinese minister to have double
purpose in view. First, to invoke the
protection of the Federal government.
Secondly, to lay the foundation for
claims of money and indemnity similar
to the claims that have been advanced
by the Uoitsd States in large number
of cases and paid by China as indemnify
for injuries sustained by American cit
zens in that empire.

ISLAND NOTES.
KoHALA. Hawaii. Septemper !

KoHALA, Hawaii, September LIST.
Mr.. Lincoln Holstein is building an
addition to his house at Mokopolu.
1t was not the plantation doctor that
amputated the finger of the man at Hal
ava mill. DR. Thompson performed the
operation.
The crop of Multi mill still hangs on
and it looks now as though there would
be but little if any rest between the end
ing of this season and the beginning OF
next.
Dr. Thompson was called to Waimea
on the 9th to examine and give evidence
in the case Of CarnaI, for abuse Of a child
only four years of age.
1t is said the Halawa Mill will put In
a double effect and double crusher for
the next crop. They are rather late in
taking the advice offered so long ago,
but will find it a good investment even
at the eleventh hour.
We hear from Minnesota that Mr.. w.
A. King, formerly of Lahaina, is attend
ing medical college there, and after OBJ
tanning his diploma will return to these
Islands and enter into practice. He is
highly spoken of at the college, and will
beyond doubt prove a first-class ply
stefan.
A young man named VIM. Lindsey
residing at Waimea, was badly cut on
the leg by Chinaman, who used a razor
for the purpose. The cut is above the
knee and is a serious one. The China
man is under arrest.
The numerous friends of DR.. Thomp-
son, regardless of nationality, feeling
that he had been wronged by the re-
marks in the Legislature and the acts OF
few unimportant residents of this dis
trict, have forwarded to the Board OF
Health three petitions-one from the
native Hawaiians, containing about 4OC
signatures one from the Portuguese
residents, containing something over q
100 names, and one from the Chinese
with over 300 names attached-which
we believe, is the largest petition ever
! sent to the Assembly on such subject
| The number could be doubled as well
| as not. AS these signers claim tt
have been successfully treated by DR.
Thompson, it is a tribute to him not tt
be despised.
We have just learned how little wa.
understood as to the purport of the small
| petition that was sent week or SO ago
asking that DR.. Bond be appointed Gov
eminent Surgeon. 1t seems that the
heading of the petition was kept secret
and not shown to the bulk of the sign
ers. One of our prominent natives, z
Kalai, the Police Magistrate, after
learning the fact, signed a pc
tition in favor of DR.. Thompson
though he had signed the first, and som,
fifty signers of the petition of DIR. Bono
have also at their own request signed tn,
one in favor of Thompson. T.
