CHINESE RESTRICTION.
Successful Working of the Act of the
Special Session of 1887 and Amend
ments of 1888

Successful Working of the Act of the
Special Session of 1887 and Amend
ments of 1888.
The ADVERTISER reporter being ush'
cred into the inner sanctunl OF His Elk
cellency iona. Austin, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, and pleasantly invited
to seat by that gentleman, inquired:
"Can you give me any information for
the public regarding the working OF the
latest Chinese restriction legislation?"
"You may say that this morning 1
signed the second return permit issued
to Chinese in the present year (1889).
cit has become almost as if they had
stopped applying for permits. The num-
Der OF permits granted has been reducing
steadily since the recent legislation went
into operation. No permits were issued
to outgoing Chinese passengers per bark
Kalakaua."
Mr.. Austin here called the Secretary
OF the Foreign Office, Capt. Mist, r. N,
who, at the Minister'S request, produced
memoranda of results OF the restrictive
legislation, of which the following is a
summary:
During the year 1888 permits were
issued, enabling departing Chinese to
return to the Kingdom, to the number of
All, OF which 900 were under the pro-
mulgated regulations OF March 1st OF
that year.
There were 2,485 Chinese left the
Kingdom during the year, all but two OF
this number since March LIST. The num-
Der OF Chinese entered the Kingdom in
1888 was 993, being $50 men, rs women
and II children.
The excess of Chinese departures over
arrivals was 1872, of which All have
leave TO return. If the whole number
that went away with return permits do
avail themselves of their privilege, the
net reduction of the Chinese population
OF the islands, directly through the oper-
alton Of the restriction laws OF the pre-
sent Legislature, will still amount to
1,075.
Minister Austin, referring to the stat
utes, drew attention TO the provision au-
thorizing the Board of immigration to
MANI lCiulSlllOu lOI IllC IoSuduC6 Vi
special permits to Chinese for the coun-
try's labor requirements, and said:
There has been no requisition under
this clause as yet from the Board of I'm
migration"
Then, in regard to the privileges Of adj
mission and three months residence to
Chinese merchants:
" Three merchants have obtained per-
mits to enter since the Acts taking effect
on March 1st."
Again, regarding privileges to authen-
tiCated applications for admission of re-
ligious teachers:
Mr.. Frank w. Damon has been
granted one permit for missionary
teacher to enter"
You may also say" added the Min
lister, chat the working of the provisions
of the Act, with the regulations OF March
1st, under its authority, has been almost
free from expenses. About the only cost
so far incurred has been that of printing
new certificates.
The Minister having facetiously asked
if he could get anything else from the
reporter on that occasion, the latter
thanked him for the important informa-
ton obtained and, with feeble attempt
to conform to Lord Chesterield's code,
Withdrew from the august atmosphere OF
foreign relations.

We, the undersigned physicians do

and saw them hanged by the neck until

hanging for the space of twenty-five min

Nothing more plainly shows how
rigidly the Marshal adhered TO the rule
OF privacy-despite many requests for
admission to satisfy curiosity-than the
fact that the only persons available to
sign the required citizens certificate
were those admitted on the invitations
to the press, representing in the order of
their names, as below, the Bulletin,

In Very Active Condition-Magniiicen
Displays.
A number OF tourists, including party
from the .. s. S. Alert, have recently
visited the crater OF Kllauea, and all
speak in glowing terms of the fine sights
they have seen. Hon. Godfrey Brown,
who went down into the crater lately,
says that the Little Elephant " cone,
which has been described by late visi-
tors, directly north OF Dana Lake, has
disappeared, and in its place is now a
small lake, perhaps $50 feet in diameter,
which is constantly in very active state,
boiling and spouting over its entire sur
face, the lava being only three or four
feet below the surrounding rim. Yisi-
tors can go up to and stand on this rim
of this new crater, and dip out the red
molten lava, feat which cannot always
be done. Both Dana Lake and the Lit
tie Elephant Lake are now in full blast,
and furnish TO visitors one of the rarest
and most beautiful sights OF volcanic ac-
ton, where they can go to the very edge
of the boiling caldron, and see how
Madame Pele carries on her attractive
shows

Caving-in of RocIs-A Native Instantly
Killed A japanese Prisoner In
jured.
A sad accident happened at quarry
on the seward side of the Eva road at
Kalihi, where the Road Bureau is de-
irving coral rock for covering the road,
between 8 and 4 O'Clock p. IN. on the 4th
inst. A high ledge OF rock had been
undermined by the workmen, including
gang OF prisoners, when it suddenly
caved in. An immense mass OF rock
was precipitated, burying beneath heavy
beulders and a shower OF fragments a
native free workman named Meheula,
who at the moment of the catastrophe
was standing within the right angle
formed by the cliff. Two or three
workmen besides the prisoners immedi-
ately began clearing the debris away to
extricate the buried man, but when the
work was executed it was found that the
life had been crushed ont Of the victim.
DR.. Rodgers, obeyIng a summons
as quickly as possible from town, pro-
nounced the man dead or his arrival.
Deputy Marshal Hopkins, who reached
the spot soon after, empanelled jury to
view the body of the victim and APP
pointed the inquest for 8 O'Clock next
morning.
A Japanese prisoner was in the way of
the falling fragments when the caving-in
occurred, and was pinned against one
side OF the ledge by some of the boulders.
He was soon released in asseverely and
numerously bruised state, and, after re
ceiving the immediate relief necessary
and practicable on the spot, was ordered
to the prison hospital by the doctor for
further attentions at his hands. Having
sustained no broken bones or apparent
serious injury, the japanese is expected
to recover in due course.
Meheula, who thus suddenly met
death, came to Honolulu from Maui only
a couple of weeks ago and had been liv-
ing with friends at Kalihi. This was his
first day at work in the employment
mentioned, and then he engaged as
substitute for his brother who was i'll.
1t Is said that he leaves wife, but be-
yond the fact that he was young man
his age has not been ascertained at this
writing.

THE MORNING STAR.
Arrival of the Mission yesseI-Report
of Her Cruise.

of Her Cruise.
The American missionary steam
packet Morning Star, Captain 6. F.
Garland, arrived March 9th, thirty-fve
days from Truk, Caroline Islands, and
was moored in her accustomed berth at
the old Custom House wharf. She left
this port on July Il, 1888, and, after a
pleasant run Of nineteen days, arrived at
Kusaie, where Miss Little was landed to
take up her duties as school teacher
there among the natives. The next port
was Ponape, then Truk, where Mr..
Smelling and supplies were landed.
From thence the Morning Star sailed
for the Marshall Group, and, after cruis-
ing among the various islands for nearly
seven weeks, proceeded for the Gilbert
Islands, remaining there six weeks.
From thence she proceeded for the Caro-
line Islands, arriving at Ponape; thence
to Truk. Five weeks were occupied in
cruising among the several little islands
in the Caroline Group. The tribes OF
the Caroline Islands are still in constant
warfare with each other.
In the Marshall Group, the Germans
have succeeded in suppressing petty re-
bellions of the natives, and the islanders
are now enjoying peace The Morning
Star sailed from Truk, January 31st,
arriving here March 9th, and had only
thirty-seven hours steaming on the
h1meward voyage. She brought as pas
sengers Rev. NJ. Treiber, wife and child,
Rev. Mr.. Rand, Rev Mr.. Walkup and
family, Miss Fletcher, Mrs. Cole and
two children, a Yup boy and two girls,
Sarah Edith Westward and Esther, who
are going to the States for an education.

Under authorization oil the Legisla-
ture His Excellency /. A. Thurston,
Minister Of the Interior, has effected
negotiations for acquiring a site for a
Central Fire Station. Mr.. S. C. Allen
conveys to the Government the Moss
man lot, corner OF Beretania and Fort
streets, diagonally opposite Central
Union Church, for the above purpose.
As this lot is scarcely large enough, the
Government has taken steps to procure
an adjoining slip OF land from the Bishop
Estate. The consideration given to Mr..
Allen for the transfer of the above prop
ertY is the Peirce lot on Queen street,
containing the stone building formerly
occupied by Mr.. L. j. Levey as auction
salesrooms. Mr.. Allen, however, gives
So, 900 cash to boot in the bargain.
The new Central Fire Station to be
erected on the site thus acquired will
afford to the Fire Department the accom-
mediation formerly required for the Bell
Tower (or lookout and alarm station),
and the houses of Engine Companies
No. and No. 4, Hook & Ladder Co. and
Pacific Hose Co. (the last-named for
some months defunct). These divisions
of the brigade have occupied quarters of
which the leases are all expired or soon
expiring. The premises conveyed to
Mr.. Allen have been non-productive
for long time owing to the want of
tenants or lesees. As to the newly
acquired site for the Fire Departments
headquarters, it is probably as central
as could be obtained in all the city plot.
1t is more convenient to Nuuanu Valley
and also to the Kulaokahua Plains than
the present Bell Tower.

OBITUARY.
Death and Burial of simon Hardcast1e

Death and Burial of Simon HardcastIc.
Simon Hardcastle, an old and es-
teemed resident, died at the White
House, Nuuanu avenue, early on Mon
day morning. He was native of York
shire, England, and had lived in Canada
and Australia, being gold miner in the
latter country. Mr. Hardcastle came to
these Islands in 1868, and gained en-
ployment first at the Honolulu Iron
Works, under Mr.. Hughes, afterward
taking engagements as engineer on the
Lahaina and MIR. Afong's plantations.
He is well-known also as a constructing
engineer on different plantations. OF
thrifty habits, Mr.. Hardcastle acquired
an independent living, having devoted
the last years of his life to quiet leisure.
He was unmarried and about 66 years of
age.
The late Mr. Hardcastle was a gentle
man OF exceedingly quiet habits, but a
very intelligent man and great reader.
He spent large portion of his time at
the rooms of the Library and Reading
Room Association, Of which he was one
OF the earliest members. Every day,
when in town, he could be seen in his
accustomed place, going and coming,
morning and afternoon, almost with the
regularity of clock.
The funeral took place to Nuuanu
Cemetery at O'Clock in the afternoon.
Rev. Geo. Wallace officiated in the rites
of the Anglican Church. The pall-bear-
ers were Messrs. William Dean, Robert
Grieve, E. s. Cunha, Edward Coffin, J.
Phillips and j. Il, Hare. Many beauti-
full floral offerings were contributed by
lady relatives OF the intimate friends Of
the departed Kamaaina. A goodly num-
Der of friends followed the remains to
their last resting place.

The number of divorces granted
in the United States has increased
from 1887 in 1867 to 25,535 in 1856.
The total for twenty years was
328,716.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1889-03-12

The Visiting Committee suggested in
their report the propriety of having por-
traits of the founders of the Queens Hos
pital, Their Majesties King Kamehameha
". and Queen Emma, placed in a suita-
BILE and prominent position in the insti-
tuition, which suggestion was by resolu-
ton adopted by the Board OF Trustees,
and the Executive Committee charged
with its execution in the best possible
manner. This action seems now most
appropriate, as there are funds provided
by the will Of Her late Majesty Queen
Emma, to be expended within the dis
cretion OF the Board of Trustees.
The Fice-President appointed the
Hons. J. S. Walker, J B. Atherton and
H. A. Widemann the Visiting Commit
tee for the ensuing quarter.
