The mass-meeting held yesterday
evening at the Skating Rink is fully
reported in another column; but we
may say here that from the large
number of whites and natives pre-
sent, the matter of Chinese restric-
ton is receiving very general atten-
tention, and it is to be hoped that the
movement may be wisely directed
and all its bearings calmly weighed.
The sympathies of the natives who
were present at the meeting, some
three hundred or more, very evi-
IDENTIFY favored the object sought
to be attained by the speakers; and,
If the meeting was a true reflex of
the opinions held by the native pop
ulation generally, the gathering of
yesterday evening will not have been
held in vain.
There is one feature Of the matter
that may seem rather odd to few
persons, viz: That no organized
opposition has yet been manifested
against the movement. Whether
this apathy proceeds from feeling
on the part of those holding adverse
views, of thinking that the present
agitation will subside through mani
ton, or that the obstacles in its way
are too powerful to be overcome, we
are not in position to know; but at
present the restriction movement has
apparently it's own way, and goes
along swimmingly.

The departure of between $50 and
$50 Chinese yesterday in the Oceanic
for China, is the most hopeful sign
that has occurred lately, of the much
wished for decrease in this class of
our population. We understand that
if they had had the means, a much
larger number would have left in the
same vessel. Only furnish free pas
sage to them, and the surplus would
very soon be so reduced as to cause
much less annoyance to tradesmen
While some of the passengers in the
above vessel were of the higher
classes and may return here, the bulk
of them were of the laboring class.
If the surplus of laborers be re-
duced, the competition will naturally
be less in the trades to which they
resort for a living. The steamship
Gaelic will arrive here about the 10th
or 18th of October, and if the Chinese
can find the means to pay their pas
sage home, probably five hundred
more will depart in her.

The faculty of Oahu College will be the
same as last year. The Friend says: 1--WE
think that there has never been an ADLER
faculty at Oahu College, or one better
adapted to impart high classical and
scientific education"
The Boarding Department can accom-
modate but few more than were in attend
ance last year, and all who desire to enter
should make an early application.
The Preparatory School continues under
the Principalship of Miss Malone; Miss
Carrie A. Gilman takes Miss Chamber
lain's position, the latter having resigned
to remove to the United States.
The Trustees are happy to announce
that, through the generous interest of a
friend, they are erecting fine new build
ing and remodeling the present one. so
that this school will occupy new and com
modious quarters in September. When
thus equipped we believe the Preparatory
School will offer opportunities second to
none in the Kingdom.

A NEW ROAD.

A great improvement is being
made in the road which is to connect
the Kapiolani Park with the extern
sion of Beretania street that passes
Moiliili Church. The road is by no
means complete, but it has been
opened out and a brake can even
now be driven over it. We would
not at present recommend any one
to take it as a pleasure drive, but the
time is not far distant when it will
be one of the most popular of drives
in our environs. It will enable those
driving out to the park to return to
town by different road, very long
felt want.
Leaving town by Beretania street
there will be a clear run out past
Mr.. Dillingham's residence and the
rice fields beyond, to the Moiliili
hill. This has to be surmounted
and the Manoa stream crossed.
Shortly after crossing the bridge
the new road, which turns sharply to
the right is reached. This road
leads directly to the park, passing a
large expanse of rice fields which
now occupy the space that fifteen
years ago was an expance Of worth
less rushes. It eventually enters
the park and runs directly to the
bridge Once there the return to
Honolulu is well-known to all who
patronize the tramcars or have
teams.
The new road is being laid dowr
in coral as a top dressing, and the
steam roller is employed every nov
and then in getting it into order. A
the rate of progress that has beer
made during the past three month
it will be some time before the worl
is properly finished. However, whel
completed it will be really grea
boon and will be especially attrac
tive to tourists, who will then be en-
abled to make a circuit and see
great deal more of the environs tha1
they have ever had chance to before
: Taken in conjunction with Punch
bowl road, this improvement stand
much to the credit of the Ministe

SUGAR NEWS.
DOings of the Trust-Claus Spreckels
and His Scheme-Other Items.
terror.

~
(From Our San Francisco Correspondent
Advices from the east report
that the trust is still struggling to
maintain prices as at present. Bust
ness is about at standstill as the
refneries are unwilling to pay prices
demanded either for spot sugar or
car goes to arrive. Large stocks are
afoat both from Europe and the East
Indies.
The American refinery has cargo
of sugar on the way from the Philip
pines and Spreckels has five or six
more to come.
Sugar trust stock remain about
stationery ranging about $110.
Very few people comparatively, have
any clear idea of the amount of bust
ness that this trust is doing, and the
officials are perfectly satisfied to
have it underestimated. Here are a
few figures obtained from reliable
sources that, large as they may seem,
are Vouched for as approximately
correct. The trust is selling at the
present time about 10000 barrels of
sugar per day. They get s. cents
for the granulated. The cost to
them Of 10000 tons Sc test recently
brought 68cents. It costs about s
of cent to manufacture, making
the actual cost 7s for the fine granu-
lated, for which as noted they get So
cents. This amounts to about So 81
per barrel proft.-really an average
of So for all grades-or on conser-
vative basis, a profit of $4,000 for
every working day, or nearly $4,000,
600 per month. AS matter of fact,
it runs good deal more than this,
and in the month of July, if the five
figures were given, their enormity
would so surprise people generally
that they would hardly believe
them.
Plans are being evolved for a new
antitrust sugar refinery in New
York with 100000 capital and a
capacity of three to five thousand
barrels day.
Claus Spreckels will soon open his
big refinery in Philadelphia, and
then a hot fight between him and the
Trust is predicted. Mr.. Spreckels
has just returned from Germany
where he went in furtherance of his
beet sugar scheme.
Claus Spreckels has another pro-
ject on foot. Recently he told two
of his intimate friends in the East
that while he was experimenting to
discover a process to harden and
compress beet sugar for export, he
hit upon a device which does the
work so thoroughly that the sugar
actually becomes insoluble in water
and can resist the action of the
weather. He recently offered to
build sugar addition to the White
House at Washington, claiming that
the material was winter and better
than marble, and the cost was only
half as much, and he extended his
offer by saying that if the building
was not satisfactory he would remove
it at his own expense. George 0.
CLAWS, one of Spreckels' attorneys,
is getting up the Patent papers to
protect the discovery.
The Louisiana product this year is
estimated at between 10000 and
285,00O hogsheads. Last year it was
100000 hogsheads. The business
has been prosperous, all things con-
sidered.
The Treasury Department has just
issued an amended circular relative
to the re sampling and testing of
foreign dutiable sugars.

THE DIAMOND.
It's Origin Stin Pretty We'll fin the Dark.

It's Origin Stin Pretty We'll fin the Dark.
 The origin of the diamond has been a fruitful topic for speculation among scientists; hence many contradictory theories have been advanced and argued with some show of reason; but after all that has been said and written upon the subject, we are still left pretty much in the dark. Theories answer good purpose, since they often lead the way to truth. But this is not all; they illustrate tho ingenuity in the human mind in seeking to account for the methods Nature takes for the accomplishment of her secret opera tions.
 Some of these theories about the origin of the diamond are very ingen- lous and interesting, though the amount of truth they embody remains to be proved. 1t has been Suggested that the vapors of carbon during the coal period may have been condensed l and crystallized into the diamond; and again, the itacolumite, generally regarded as the matriX, was saturated with petroleum, which, collecting in modules, formed the gem by gradual specialization. Newton believed it to have been coagulated, unctuous substance, of vegetable origin, and was sustained in the theory by many eminent philosophers, including Sir David Brewster, who believed the diamond was once mass of gum, derived from certain species of wood, and that 1t subsequently, assumed a crystalline form. Dana and others ad- vance the opinion that it may have been produced by the slow decomposi- tion of vegetable material. and even from animal matter. Burton says it is younger than gold, and suggests the possibility that it may still be in pro- cess of formation, with capacity of growth. Specimens of the diamond have been found to enclose particles of gold, an evidence, he thinks, that it's l formation was more recent than that of the precious metal.
 The theory that the diamond was formed immediately from carbon by the action of heat is opposed by another, maintaining that it could not have been produced in this way, otherwise 1t would have been consumed. But the advocates of thls view were not quite on their guard against surprise, for some quickwitted opponent has found by experiments that the dia- mond will sustain great heat without | com bustion.

Inferior to Americans.
 A London correspondent referring to tine opening of the International Ex hi- bitioH of printing says: The exhibition serves to make plain once more our national inferiority as printers, not only to certain Of our continental rivals, but to our own flesh and blood across the Atlantic. In all directions we are outdone in an art of which we were among the earliest and most sue cessful practitioners. If Caxton and his coworkers are able to revisit the glimpses of the moon, they must re- gard with signs of pity and regret the degeneracy of their craft in Eng land. How comes it that we have allowed our, old position to be occupied by our foes !? is it that the utilitarian in us has, in that department of life, as in others, Wrestled with and overcome the artis- tic? Is it that, among our numerous virtues, that of good taste is gradually vanishing from our midst? Fer 1t is in good taste that we are so wofully de- ficient in our printing performances. We have at our disposal good and varied type and the best paper; the materials are all there, but where is the sense of neatness, of appropriateness, of beauty, which should govern the disposition of the types and the printing off from thamP
