recuperatlon and greatly needed rest and
while it Is hot to be understood that the

physicians have advised IA change OF climate
to the bracing and invigorating airs of the
Pacific Coast, where lie viii remain for
some time. After his Majesty has been
officially received in San Francisco he will
quietly travel incognito about California,

GOVERNORS FOR THE ISLANDS.
The bills for establishing a Governor on
each OF the four rncipal islands of the
group, though introduced early in the ses-
sion, did not come up for second reading un-
til the 18th inst, with the recommendation
by majority report that Bill 1877 be
amended and passed, which was done,
and was announced on the last day OF
the session us having received the
royal signature. The abolition of the Office
OF Governor and the distribution of the func-
tons Of the post In 1887 was unquestiouably
national benefit. Besides relieving the
treasury OF group of unearned salaries, it
relieved the principal post, or wherever the
residence of the Governor might be in each
island, Of hotbed Of intrigue, spols-hunt-
ing and all their accompanying evils.

ceSSful efforts TO secure more partisan

Ger aud Arthur p. Peterson, all identified
with the industrial interests of this country.
THE SUGAR CROP.
I; BY the 1st of December most of the sugar
mills will have started on the new crop of
1891. This early start has been prompted
by desire to have as much sugar as is pos
sibe sent to San Francisco before the date
when the duty is removed, April LIST. The
cane would be in much better condition for
grinding if left standing till January LIST, as
the juice is then stronger and yields more
sugar per gallon. The sugar crop prospects
tor 1891 promise an outcome fully as good
as has been the crop for 1S90-say 12O, COO
tons.
Many of the plantations at Hilo are getting
everything i'll shape so as to commence
grinding as near December 1st as possible
Some Will run night and day until April.
