An Injunction Case.

On Saturday, February Goth, E. B.
Thomas fled a petition in the Supreme
Court for an injunction against the Min
lister of the Interior. 1t reads as follows:
That on the Dist day of April, 1884, he
e. B. Thomas) entered into an agree
ment with c.. T. Gulich, as Minister of
the Interior, to erect and build, accord
ing to the specifications and plans, upon
certain property situate on Merchant
street, certain brick building for Po-
lice Station; that in consequence OF such
agreement your complainant entered
into and took possession of said premises,
and proceeded to perform the require
ments and conditions of said agreement
and contract, and still is in possession
of said premises and using the same for
the purpose of completing and fulfilling
all the requirements and conditions of
his said agreement That
upon the 10Th day of February, 1886,
the said Minister of the Interior, without
any authority or justification in law,
caused most of the materials and imple-
ments to be removed from the premises,
and is now engaged in removing other
materials from said premises, and is in
terfering and hindering complainant
from performing the work required of
him under his said contract.
He therefore prays relief from this Hon
orable Court of Equity, such actions and
doings being contrary to equity and good
conscience, and prays that said G. T.
Gulick be summoned to answer his COM
plant, and that writ of injunction may
now issue out of this Court commanding
the said Minister of the Interior and his
servants and agents to desist from in
any manner hindering, interfering or de-
laying your complainant from the e:xecu-
ton of his said contract.
On the 23d the Chief Justice ordered
that the writ of INDUCTION issue as prayed
for and be binding and in full force and
effect upon the said C. T. Gulick, his
servants and agents, until the further
order of the Court.
To this His Excellency the Attorney
| General, solicitor for c.. T. Guick, Min
lister of the Interior, filed the following
| demurrer:
That the bill of petitioner (E. B.
Thomas) does not set forth facts SUI
ficient to constitute cause of action and
to entitle him to the relief by him prayed
for or to any relief in equity whatever.
Wherefore respondent prays that the
writ of injunction heretofore granted in
this action be vacated and set aside, and
he, respondent, be hence dismissed
without day, and have and recovered
from petitioner the costs and disburse-
ments in this behalf incurred.
The demurrer was heard before the
Chief Justice at Chambers yesterday
afternoon at l o'clock. The Attorney
General briefly argued on the demurrer,
and claimed that the plaintiffs remedy
is in a suit at law, and cites section %,
High on Injunction. The plaintiffs
counsel stated that by statute no action
can prevail against the Government
without first obtaining consent of the
Privy Council.
The Court sustained the demurrer, and
dissolved the temporary injunction

Our ''By Authority column contains
the speech of Mr.. Taro Ando, FL. L.
Japanese Majesty's Diplomatic Agent
and Consul General, upon the presenta-
ton of his credentials to the King. The
sentiments of friendship and goodwill
expressed by Mr.. Ando on behalf of his
august master must be gratifying to the
King and Government of Hawaii. 1t is
fortunate that gentleman OF so much
experience in the public service OF his
own country should be sent to represent
Japan in this Kingdom at a time when
! the intRxcourss between the two nations
promises to be so close and mutually adj

halt of the inhabitants of this Kingdom
that we extend to Mr.. Ando our warmest
greeting, and the expression OF hope
that his residence here may be mutually
agreeable and beneficial.

Canon of the Council of Chalcedon, that
"if Clergyman has any matter, either
against his own or any other Bishop, 1t |

THERE must be an overdose OF sensi-
tiyeness living somewhere around. We
made no attack upon competent and
honest officials" and cast no slur upon
any one that We can imagine by our
characterization of the stereotyped re-
ports and tables of the Customs Bureau
Ia years gone by. But somebody has
made a personal application OF this
characterization in the daily Opposition
paper. This was very foolish thing to
do. because it involves a comparison OF
a personal character, which we always
avoid if possible, but never shrink from
where necessary. Speaking of the two
sets of trade statistics, the old and the
new, we unhesitatingly say that the lat
ter are incomparably the best. They are
properly constructed. They disclose
every fact that could throw light upon
our foreign trade, while enabling any
one competent to read statistics to arrive
at just conclusion regarding the indus
trial development of these Islands. This
being the case, was it wrong to say so =?
If the old-time statistics did not do so as
well or as fully as the new, or if the
tables were of faulty construction, who
was hurt by stating the truth in so many
words? For ourselves we disclaim any
personal allusion whatever. We were
dealing with the statistics OF Hawaiian
trade and not with individuals.

TELPHERAGE,

By which a nearly continuous stream of
sugar cane or other material may be moved
by means Of electric motors, drawing buck
cts, baskets or other containers, along sta
tionary steel rod suspended on posts, the
power being supplied st central station by
means of steam engine or water power
working an electric dynamo.
This system does not profess to compete
with tramways where the ground is suitable
for such mode of conveyance, but the cir
cumstances under which its advantages are
apparent are
Where the ground is very rough, uneven
or gulchy, or where the gradients are steep,
as it has no difficulty in drawing a load up
an incline of in 10.
Where the space for a tramway cannot
well be spared, or over swamps or other
ground impracticable for tramwsys.
1t can be taken along the high road with
as much facility, and with little more OBJ
struction to the traffic than by line of
telephone posts.
It has the advantage of the overhead wire
rope system without its disadvan tages, as
there is not long wire rope to drag, with
its attendant friction and loss of power,
whilst it can turn on sharp curves.
The main line can be moved to different
posi- tons a moderate expense.
A line is now working at Glynde, in Sus'
sex.

Following is the text of the letter add
dressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury
by the Right Rev. DIR. Willis, Bishop OF
Honolulu, covering correspondence be-
tween the Bishop and Mr.. Theo. II.
Davies relative to the building fund:
To His Grace the Most Reverend Father
in God, Edward White, by Divine
Providence Lord Archbishop of Canter-
bury, Primate of All England, and
Metropolitan.
Alfred Willis, by Divine Permission
Bishop of Honolulu, Sendeth Greeting
in the Lord:
It hath been laid to my charge by
Theophilus III. Davies, Esquire, Her
Britannia Majesty's Vice Consul in Ho-
Moulin. Treasurer of the Honolulu Cathe-
--draI Building Committee, in pamphlet
zhntitIed, "Second Open Letter to the
Plight Reverend Alfred Willis, Bishop of
Honolulu"
First, "a. That l had formed most
dishonorable plan for proceeding with
the erection of the Cathedral now being
built in Honolulu, by which plan debt
of nearly ten thousand dollars would have
been kept out of sight to the injury and
loss of the Contractor and Treasurer.
Secondly, ~. That L made a proposal
to certain parties, compliance with which
would have been an indictsble offense.
Moreover, the said open letter. con-
tanning the aforementioned charges,
written by the said T. H. Davies, Esq,
in his capacity as Treasurer of the said
Building Committee, was presented to
me by the Rev. Alexander Macintosh,
Priest of the Cathedral Church, and
Secretary of the Committee aforesaid !;
and further, on the S0th day OF January,
1885, the day after the said letter had
been received at the hands OF the Rev.
Alex. Macintosh, a meeting of the
members of the Building Committee
aforesaid was held, the Vice President
of the Committee presiding, there being
present the Reverends George Wallace
and Alex. Macintosh, Secretary afore-
said, both Priests of the Cathedral
Church, and several gentlemen of the
Laity, including the said T. Fl. Davies,
ESQUIRE, Treasurer, on the minutes of
which meeting is recorded a resolution
expressing the confidence of the Com
rnittee in the ability, uprightness and
zeal of Mr.. Davies in and concerning all
his past acts as Treasurer, by which reso-
luton those present at that meeting ex-
pressed their approval of the Treasurer's
: accusations of the Bishop made in his
letter of the 28th.
Now, whereas, if these charges are
true, they disqualify me from continuing

In reference to the foregoing an es-
teemed correspondent sends us the follow
ing: The mahwa tree, or Indian Butter
tree, is the ''bassla latifolia' of Roxburgh,
found in Central India. and belongs to the
natural order of Sapoteae. 1.-The flowers, " ac-
cording to Murray's British India, " 'are
produced in full clusters at the ends of
the smaller branches and look exactly
like berries the true fruit, however, re-
sembles a walnut the olive-shaped seeds
of which are replete with thick oil which
is used as a substitute for glue. \
The flowers are equally priced, for when
dried in the sun they have been compared
to Malaga raisins both in flavor and APP
pearance. They are eaten, in fact in va
rious ways-as a preserved fruit, as an in
gredient in curries and other dishes, or
even in their fresh state. A good tree will
produce in one season nearly three hun
dredweight of flowers. The greatest con-
sumption, however, is in the distillation
of a kind of spirit which goes by the name
of mahwah-arrack.
Baron Won Mueller of Melbourne, in his
work on 'Select Extra Tropical Plants, u
saws of it: THE succulent carollo affords
a never-failing crop of nourishing food to
the rural inhabitants Each tree yields
two to three cwt.; each hundredweight
yields about three gallons of spirit; essen
tial oil is also obtainable from the corolla.
The flowers are also used for feeding cattle
They will keep for long time. The seeds
yield oil of thick consistence."
Query, is the sugar contained in these
flowers cane sugar, or grape sugar, COM
monty called glucose? Probably the latter

Opium Raid on Kauai.

Last week raid was made on some
Chinese opium smokers at Kawaihae,
Kauai Three or four policemen tried to
enter the building, but were driven back
with cane forks. However, one officer
named Pukila, more plucky than the
others, overcame the Chinese and they
were soon afterwards arrested with
opium and paraphernalia used for smok-
ing.
