SMALL FARM SETTLEMENT IN NEW
ZEALAND.

A scheme for promoting small farm
settlement in New Zealand was en-
bodied in a bill by Sir George Grey and
submitted to the Legislature of that
country last session. 1t is attracting
good deal of attention inasmuch as the
tendency previously had been to the
creation of large estates. These as a
rule have not been profitable to the spec
ulstive owners, and much of the land so
held may now be purchased with inn
provements at low prices. Sir George
Grey's plan is interesting, if not by
way of example to us on these
Islands, at least as being suggestive.
His bill provides that the Government
may contract with the owners of any
block of land for the purchase of it for
settlement at the property tax valuation,
with certain percentage added, or it
may take land under the provisions
of the Public Works Act. In other
words, the Government may exercise the
right of eminent domain and take such
land as it may require for colonization
purposes, paying the owners fair valu-
alton for it. The Government would
also purchase native lands for the estab-
lishment of small farm settlements I'M
der this system.
1t is proposed by the bill that the
method of purchase shall be by bonds
bearing per cent interest. The farms
are not to be Of greater area than $50
veyed, the sum paid is to be apportioned
so that the total value of the allotments
shall be equivalent to the total sum paid
for the block. The yearly quit rent shall
be at the rate of 6 per cent on the pur-
chase price of the allotment. 1t is also
provided that any person who has leased
an allotment shall, within five years of

WEDNESDAY, March 18th.
1t being a Government holiday, the
Court should have been closed. How
ever, His Honor decided to take the evil
dence of A w. Davies in the case OF
Nick Midget, charged with assault and
battery on Haleaka, the woman at the
Hallway House. 1t was important to
get Davies evidence before leaving town
as it was necessary for him to leave to-
day for Laiea.
On being sworn, Mr.. Davies stated in
substance that he was at the Halfway
House on the 9TH, and saw Midget and
the woman there. The latter was crying
and seemed afraid of the prisoner.
When she saw the witness coming along
the road, she cried out for help. The
witness made the prisoner come along to
Honolulu with him. His Honor then
remanded Midget to the 18th.

LATE NEWS.
The w. $. Bovine Brings One Days
Later News from the Coast.

By the tern w. S. Bovine, Captain Paul,
which arrived yesterday, we have San
Francisco papers of the 28th February, be-
ing one day later than by steamer mail.
We compile the following summary:
The freight war continues. The rates
first-class from San Francisco to New York
were: Unlimited, SIS; limited, s4S; third
class, $50. Unlimited rates were to be ad-
vanced 80 so to head off scalpers.
The Pacific Mail Directors have author
lied the immediate purchase of two new
steamers. They also agree not to renew
any contract with the overland companies
unless the latter will make the contract
revocable only on twelve months notice,
and furthermore increase the amount of
subsidy from $85 900 to 800, 900 per month.
The Northern Pacific Railroad has sold
9, 400, 600 acres of its grant land in Dakota
to a Philadelphia syndicate. which will
colonize it, and to this end intends to send
agents to England, Norway, Sweden and
Denmark, where liberal offers will be made
to induce cOlonists to come to America.
Colonel Andrews, United States Com
missioner for California to the New Orleans
Exposition, has made his final settlement
with the State. OF the $4,000 appropriated
he has returned to the Treasury ,621 so,
for which the Controller receipts after
minute examination of all the Colonel's
vouchers and accounts. Colonel Andrews
is the only State Commissioner who has
paid anything back, and yet California had
distinguished display and did herself full
credit at the Exposition.
There has been another cold wave in the
East The wind blew so much water out of
the bay that at New York on the 9th Feb
ruary the dock and ferry bridges were fif-
teen or twenty feet above the steamers.
The ice is so packed by the wind on the
Brooklyn side of East river that number
of boats are stuck fast and are unable to
get out of the pack. Niger Head, in He'll
Gate, was entirely exposed at low water.
A Boston dispatch of the 9th February
states: The lowest point indicated by mer
curry yesterday was 81 degrees above zero,
and the greatest velocity of the wind
reached 81 miles an hour. The gale has
generally prevailed with even greater
ferceness throughout New England and
along the Canadian coast. Telegraphic
communication in many directions has
been suspended, and it has been next to
impossible to get messages through to New
York. These are samples of the reports
from other points. The cold wave extended
to California.

LOrIIIard's Stables Under the Ham
mer-Large Prices.

Mt. HOLLY, February 27th.-The entire
stables of race horses belonging to the late
Pierre Lorillard were sold at Rancoas stock
farm, Jobstown, to-day in the presence of
a large crowd of hOrsemen, who came
from all parts of the country. The bidding
was lively throughout. the heaviest pur-
chasers being Dryer Bros. of Brooklyn,
and Charles Reed of GalIatin, Tenn. The
largest price received was 500 600, paid by
the Dwyer Bros, for the three-year-old
bay filIy, Dewdrop. The fve-year-old
bay horse, Pontiac, was knocked down to
the Dryers for SIT 800, and the same pur-
chasers secured the three-year-old chestnut
colt, Winfield, for $13, 600 The three-year
old chestnut colt, Cyclops, was bought by
Charles Reed for $1O,5OO. Twenty-seven
thoroughbreds were sold, the prices aggre
eating $149,05O. The sale is considered to
be the most successful sale of thorough
breds held in this country for years.

Earl DuRerin's BIarney to the Chi
neSe.


RANGooN, February 27th.-Lord Duffer-
in, Governor General of India, received a
number of Chinese merchants. In adj
dressing them he recalled the cordial well
come received from Chinese residents when
he visited British Columbia. He said, al
though the United States restricted Chinese
immigration, the Chinese were free to enter
Canada. They were thrifty and industrious
citizens, who increased the wealth and well
fare of the people among whom they dwelt.
He hoped large numbers of Chinese would
settle in Burmah. Earl Dufferin is in
error about the Chinese in Canada. When
he was Governor General of the Dominion
the Chinese were free to come there; but
the law has been changed and they are now
free to leave. A tax of $50 per head is i'm
posed upon Chinese entering Canada, and
a vessel can only carry one Chinese pas
senger for every fifty registered tons. The
Chinese do not increase the wealth and
welfare of the people among whom they
dwell. They absorb the first and destroy
the second; but England having securely
annexed Upper Burmah, once a tributary
State of China, is not willing to have a
frontier question raised on the north
eastern province of its Indian Empire sim
liar to what France has in Tonquin. This
may be avoided by encouraging Chinese
industrial settlement in Burmah, hence
Lord Dufferin's address to Chinese mer-
chants at Rangoon. f. H. Temple Black
wood, Earl of Dutterin, doubtless kissed
the Blarney-stone' at an early age, judging
from his lavish use of flattery to conciliate
the Chinese established in Lower Burmah,
and through them the Mandarin class of
the Middle KingGom-ED. z. c. A.

Has Something 10 Say About the
Cherokee strip.

VINTTA. |. T., November 19..-Ool.
E, O. Boudinot, himself a Cherokee
and lawyer of prominence, in a
letter for publication on the subject
of selling the Cherokee strip, says:
"The Cherokee Nation cannot sell an
acre of lite lands without the consent
Of Congress, and II the New York
syndicatts should offer $40 an acre,
cash down, they could not buy one
acre of the Cherokee strip. II the
Cherokees want to sell the strip they
can sell 10 the United States and to
no one else. The u oited S ates will
not give more than ST. 25 per acre, but
the lands are worth all the ayndioates
offer for it's par AGRA. In five years
from this time those lands could be
sold In u body at IS per acre; that
is, eupposinR we could sell them
at all, which l have Just said
we could not, except to the
United States. Now, If we
are not permitted to sell the lands for
what they are worth, what is the next
best thing to do with them2 see no
better way than to lease them for a
fair prlcein tracts Of not more than
100000 acres and not lees than 10 cents
per acre, and to give eptsrprising
Cherokee citizens the first chance. III
any OF our substantial cattle men wish
to take q lease Of 100000 acres, say for
ten years. why not give them the
Priviegef la my opinion, the entire
5000 600 acres could be leased in this
way at 10 cents per acre, and $500, 900
could be distributed among the pc D.
pie every year. II the present lessees
wish q release of the strip, they should
have IL done legally and in order. The
preeent lease has been decided by the
Attorney General to be illegal. The
only lawful way TO lease the lands to a
oitiz a of the United States is 10 get
Congress 10 auth rize such lease."
