ing, being petition for the revo-
cation of the order admitting to probate
the will of Keliiahonui, one of the an

died in 1S49, leaving very large estate
to his wife. This is the third attempt
to set the will aside on the ground of
forgery, and the petitioner is Junius

his deceased wife, who was a grand
daughter of the testator. The case

A Honolulu paper says trouble res
Gently occurred at Kohala between some
plantation natives, who we're impressed
as special police, and 100 Chinese labor
ers who had been brought from China
by one Aseu to work on his Hawaiian
plantations. The Chinese being dissat-
isfied with the wages paid by Aseu,
went to see if some modification of their
contract could not be obtained. Being
unable to obtain conference with him,
thev started homeward in squads, and
being closely followed by native special
policemen who were armed with bullock
whips, one of the squads became uneasy
and one or two Chinese stopped to pick
up rocks. The police thereupon made
an onslaught, belaboring the fleeing
Chinese with their whips. Not satisfied
with putting the squad tie fight, the ma
tives proceeded to attack number OF
houses some distance away, occupied by
Chinese, but who remained at home.
Windows were broken and other prop
erty demolished, and with queues
twisted to the pommels OF their saddles,
forty Cinnamon were dragged to the
leper cells, and summarily crowded in
their clothing being appropriated by
the mob. At the trial on the following
day the Chinese were released by the
court. They made no com
plant, except as to their con
tracts, claiming that they woulC
not live on the small sum coming tt
them after the government deposits anC
their passage money had been deducted
from their pay. They claimed that th'
interpreter had falsely interpreted th,
contract to them.
