old ice works, when at the corner of

set on by native. They had a

made for store close by, but the
door was shut IN his face by a native
woman. The native caught up with
him, and eventually got package of
money from him and escaped. The
package contained two ten dollar
gold pieces, thirty silver dollars and
quarter of dollar. During the
scuffie, the Chinaman says he scratch
ed the natives face with his finger
nails, which are pretty long. He
could identify the man he feels sure.
The police investigated the affair as
soon as notified.

That Reported Revolution.

A great crowd of people awaited the
coming of the steamship Australia on
the 5th inst. expecting further news of
that revolution" which had before been
reported and denied. The startling
news however did not come, and conf
dence in the stability of the present gov
eminent is about restored. Claus Spreck-
els, who was one of the passengers,
said that with regard to the revolution,
there was absolutely nothing in the
rumor When he left Honolulu the
Legislature was still in session, and
no trouble was anticipated or spoken of.
He was at loss to understand how the
report could have possibly been started.

industry to deliver the opening address,
which is to be followed by the reading
of essays, touching upon the leading
subjects now before horticulturists of
this section, and to invite mutual
intercourse of opinion from all present.
After the committee had concluded its
business, Messrs. Pirtle, Waite, Heintz
and Kruckeberg concluded to make
tour of inspection of some of the leading
fruit stands, and learn the condition OF
the fruit at present placed upon the
market. Upwards of fifteen different
places were visited, and in every case
the fruit inspected was found infested
with scale; not only red scale. tbut other
scales as we'll. Manv Of the dealers in
their talks expressed their willingness
not to purchase infected fruits, and in
one or two cases reports came that GER
tam fruits had been ordered returned to
the orchards, by the inspectors, as be-
ing infected with scale. The short tour
of inspection fully convinced the COM
mittee that more stringent measures are
necessary to sustain the officers of the
law in carrying out the provisions of the
same, and also, that many fruit-growers
aret very negligent in marketing
fruit known to be infested The lack
of stringent quarantine measures and
also the failure on the part of many
fruit-growers to clean out their orchards
combine to make the subject of the de-
struction of insect pests one OF great
moment and vital to the fruit interest,
and unless remedied it bids fair to
ruin this leading industry. The dis
coveries of new insect pests on imported
trees, shrubs and vines combined with
the large number of injurious scale that
already infest orchards would seem to
make it obvious to the most casual OBJ
server that the fruit-growers owe it to
themselves at once to stimulate a healthy
public sentiment on this question and
strain every nerve to have such quaran-
tine regulations adopted, as will ensure
the cleaning out of ali pests already ex-
isting
