Vokes has added several one-act pieces to her

no inconsiderabe share in the success. Pro-
fessor John Philip Sousa, of the Marine Band,
as already announced in The HERALD, made
the orchestration of the new opera and bis
work was spoken of in flattering terms by the
New York critics, while Wilson himself was
enthusiastic about it. The greatest laughing
hit of 'tThe Merry Monarch was, moreover,
made by two small but nervy Washington
artists, John and Jesse, the colored mokes,
whose approaching debut in the metropolis was
announced in last Sundays HERALD. When
the pickaninies advanced to the front Of the
stage at the Broadway Theater Monday night
and began the doublc-shuffie which SO con-
vuled summer opera patrons at Albaugh's the
past season, the immense audience fairly yelled
with delight. 1t was to the New Workers a
complete novelty, and this above all things is
what the New York first-nighter Graves.

Charley Stow, whose youthful face has been
made prematurely grave by the million mad
dening questions that are fired at him through
the box office window Of the National Theatre,
has returned from his vacation looking brown
and healthy. He fed for the summer to the
peaceful solitudes OF Northern Michigan, where
the matinee girl cometh not and the man who
gets hot because all seats are not aisle seats
ceases from troubling.
1t Is definitely settled that Wilton Lackaye, of
this city, will star the coming winter in the spec
tacular production of "Nero" which is to be put
on the road. Lackaye is now playing with sue
cess the part of genteel tough in Mckee Ran
kin's "Canuck" in New York Later he appears
in an important role in "Dr. Bill,' new Eng
lish comedy, at the Madison Square Garden
Amphitheatre. Then comes the "Nero'' engage
ment. There are few young actors now on the
American stage who keep engaged SO far ahead
as Lackaye. His services are always in demand
In New York, and while reaping lots Of glory It
is safe to say he isn't getting left on gold.

affect the business of the various places of

of the lamented manager is capable business
woman, and she has an experienced corps of

here through their connection with the Bijou at
different times. Mr. Dean is now at the Acade-

ALCOHOL IN THE ARCTIC.
Liquor Sold to Natives of the Siberian
Coast.

Liquor Sold to Natives of the Siberian
Coast.
OoNALAsKA, October Gotham
article appeared recently in San
Francisco paper in regard to the
sale of alcohol by the whalemen to
the natives of Northern Alaska. A
report from a committee of the
Honolulu Legislature was appen-
ded, in which the statement was
made that five thousand odd gal
Ions of alcohol had been shipped on
the American whaling ships bound
to Alaska.
This item was brought to the
notice of Capt. Healy Gu. S. S. Bear)
by the Chronicle representative.
The captain said: "There is no
doubt that this amount of liquor was
taken by the whalemen from
Honolulu but that any of it
was either given or sold,
to the Esquimau of Northwest
Alaska is utterly false. The liquor
was disposed of by the whalers and
traders to the Siberian coast ma
tives. The whalemen make no
secret of the sale. and as [ have
caused every whaling and trading
vessel to be thoroughly searched
during the past season in the Are
tic, l am convinced that no liquor
was landed on United States terri
tory. The only vessel upon which
liquor was found was the bark
Helen Mar, and the stuff was
dumped overheard.
" Further, the traders had no OBJ
iect to bring alcohol, or indeed any
article, to the United States pos
sessions in Arctic Alaska. The past
season was disastrous for the ma
tives. They caught no whales, furs
were extremely scarce, and conse-
quently they have nothing to eX-
change with the ships. Unless the
owners of the whaling fleet agree
with their masters that no alcohol
or rum shall be traded with the
natives on the Siberian shores, l
am powerless to stop the traffic.
The authority of the revenue
marine does not extend outside OF
due limits, but l assert that more
liquors are landed in southwestern
Alaska in one month than the
whalers and traders dispose of in
the season in the Arctic. 1t would
be an easy matter for the Honolulu
authorities to pass law limiting
the amount of alcoholic liquors that
each whaler or trader could take
on board, and IN this way an end
might be put to the ira tfic.

THE CHINESE LABOR ACT

Yesterday morning we published
the act Familiarity known as above.
Its title provides for authorizing
the introduction of Chinese agricul-
tural laborers and for amending
the Chinese Restriction Act of
1887. Paragraph 2 of section 5 of
said law authorized the Minister of
Foreign Affairs to permit the intro
duction of three hundred Chinese
agricultural or mechanical laborers
each quarter years. Although the
law went into effect March l, 1888,
and was therefore in force over
two years and eight months, yet
no labor at all was introduced under
it's provisions. Over three thousand
might have been brought in but
the recent Ministry was most
thoroughly convinced of the mex
pediency of permitting the intro
duction of any more Chinese and
absolutely refused to permit the
act to be taken advantage of. They
adopted this course as only con-
sistent in carrying out their policy
of Chinese restriction and exclu-
sion. But could the introduction
of Chinese have been accompanied
with proper restrictions, not pro
vided by the act they might have
pursued a different course. Elk
cept as amended by this act and
another relative to the duration of
return passports or permits, the
laws of 1878 are still in force.
The great stringency in the field
labor market of to-day renders this
law of great Importance just now.
There has been an idea that the
law was loosely drawn, that it was

THE DAILY


THE November mortuary report
of the agent of the Board of Health
will be found in another column.
The registered deaths for the
month were thirty-five against an
average of forty-n nine for the same
month in the four previous years,
showing that the past month was
comparatively a healthy period.
OF these thirty five deaths, more
than two-thirds, or twenty-three
were Hawaiians, and twelve were
foreigners, including eight Chinese
and Japanese. Thus thirty-one of
the entire number were Hawaiians,
Chinese and Japanese, and only
four Europeans, while among
Americans not single death was
reported. Twelve are reported as
having died without medical at
tendance. A more disheartening
picture could hardly be furnished.
Looking at these statistics in the
most favorable light that we can
they show the rapid decline of the
native race, and suggest that some
thing might be- done to seek out
the sick and dying among them
and do whatever can be done tC
alleviate their sufferings and aid
their recovery. Christian charity
demands that some special effort:
be made in behalf of our Hawaiian
population, even if some organiza
ton be required to maintain anC
carry them into effect. 1t may b'
answered that Hawaiians prefer t.
be treated by their own nativ
doctors, in whom many place i'm
pllcit confidence. This may be 81
in some, perhaps in many instances
but that would not forbid tn
bestowal of many of the little act
of charity and intelligent nursing
which often assist the patient t
recover from sickness. This eel
talnly IS q matter which shoul
enlist the sympathies of all, with
out regard to creed or nationality

OPIUM IN CHINA.

At the annual meeting of the Vic
torian Alliance in Melbourne Check
Hong Cheong delivered an address
on opium and the evils it has inflict-
ed and is inficting on the people of
China. He said that when alcoholic |
liquor was invented in China about
200 BIC. the Emperor Tu tasted it,
and foreseeing the evils that would
flow from its general use, did not try
to check it by high license, but
nipped the evil in the bud by forth
with banishing from the country the
| inventor and his invention. To his
wholesome warning and example is
| largely due the comparatively small
number of drunkards amongst the
Chinese people.
But when opium was introduced
into China by the East India Com
pany, the reigning emperor tried IN
vain to prevent it. He enacted laws
prohibiting its importation, sale and
use. But the English merchants
with their smuggling vessels, known
as "fast crabs" and "scrambling dra-
CONS " defed the imperial edlct. The
melancholy spectacle of his own sons
dying early victims to the opium
habit reused the emperor to still
more vigorous policy. High Commits
sioner Liu was invested with abso.
lutte power in dealing with the illegal
traffic. The principal merchants IN
Canton engaged in the illegal traffic
tried to procure relaxation of Llu's
policy of prohibition by enticine
Liu's son into that use of the drug
4 which had been forbidden on penalt.
e Of death. He was caught in the act
and was condemned to instant exc
cution. The tears of both wife ant
8 mother availed not to save the yount
Q mans life. Such stern sacrifice t
o duty struck terror into the people.
But the English government inter
u fered and at the point OF the bayone
y and with the weighty arguments c

ment of indemnity to the smuggler'
