Billy Whites bill relating to
fisheries passed its third reading
yesterday, and Billy is quite happy
over the passage of said bill.
When Hon. Koahou was address
ing the House in regard to the
passage of his bill yesterday, he
was staring at the Minister of
Foreign Affairs instead of the Pre-
sident. This is a new thing. No
doubt the Minister supported the
bill.
There was a serious discussion
over Hon. Waipuilani's resolution
that the twenty gallons of okolehao
in possession of the Marshal be
poured out publicly into the streets.
Many amendments were offered,
but only two are worth mentioning.
Noble Marsden moved that hacks
be furnished the committee which
is to superintend the pouring out, "
to enable them to get back to the
House safely. The member from
Kau suggested that it would be
dangerous to pour the stuff into the
streets, because it was very in
fam hic Unable. He knew all
about it, therefore moved that it be
poured into the harbor.
The Temperance Committee fin
ally got possession of the fiery
liquid, and, as it is in safe hands, it
will probably be "stimulant" for
them to hurry up their report.
The Minister Of Finance made
another $4,000 yesterday signing
twenty dollar silver certificates.
If this keeps on, Marsden's trouble
will be to find ways and means to
spend the money, not to save it.

A stranger appeared Yesterday
In the House and took a seat
among the Representatives. Upon
inquiry, it was learned from the
oergeant-at-Arms that it was the
member from the third ward.
The hon. gentleman appeared

motion that the House adionrn

ne should be interested in such a
measure, as he is seldom there
himself, and cannot possibly OBJ

their duty. His motion was yerV
properly killed, and the member
disappeared as n brilliant meteor
which is said to leave a slight
smell of sulphur in its track.
Rep. Kamauoha took occasion of

Chinese. Alexander, it will be re-
membered, and his fellows realized
large profits making little tin
gods on Wheels" or something of
the kind, representing Diana.
Meantime, Mr.. Irwin should recol-
lect that the condition of affairs
here is so very strenuous, that
recent japanese importations
wholly fail to meet the require
ment for cheap labor on the plan
tations. 1t should also be borne
in mind that there is less likely to
be severe friction and trouble if a
variety of nationalities supply the
Hawaiian labor market, instead of
the Japanese and Hawaiians" so
fondly hoped for by Mr.. Irwin
But imperious necessity here will
probably regulate this matter.
Mr.. Marsden's mission to the
East Indies to look up the matter
of labor, receives brief mention.
We learn also that the proposed
labor convention with China, for
which provision was made in the
Act of 1890, received a very de-
cided quietus from the somewhat
energetic view taken by the Chi
nese Minister in Washington of
the unfriendly feeling manifested
against the Chinese in Hawaii.
Of course in view of the hostile
position taken by the Legislature
of 1878 and 1890 such a rebuff
might have been expected.
We also learn from the report
that the army now consists of
three commissioned and thirteen
non-commissioned officers with
seventy-two privates, that on
account of the action of the Legis-
lature of 1890 the Honolulu
Rifles" were disbanded, and "the
Government property was collected
and placed in charge of the proper
authorities.
Receipts from Chinese permits,
ETC., have realized 1857 at an
expense of $l655.85. The arrivals
have been 2916 of whom part are
on time only, and 1865 have de-
parted, net decrease Of $40; 2415
return permits have been issued.
1t is suggested that the age under
which Chinese children be admit
ted be reduced from fourteen to
ten years. The records show that
of the 2415 who procured return
permits 1846 are laborers, vege-
table planters, dealers in poi and
fish, ETC., and 1914 domestic SER
wants and unspecified occupations,
leaving ia merchants, so clerks,
81 laundrymen and SO mechanics,
properly so-called which is less
proportion than might have been
expected. -
The report e1~oselon to put the
--'os of the department in
order. Everyone who understands
the Importance of the papers and
records of this office to q faithful
history of the country will most
heartily second this appeal, and
trust it may be conceded.

REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF FOR.
EIGN AFFAIRS.
sECoNr ARTICLE. I
(Concluded.)

There has been considerable ac.
tivity in the relief and return OF
INDECENT Hawaiians from abroad
caused in part by the unwonted
activity of the Mormon movement
and by the singular edict of the
King of Samoa, expelling all Ha-
waiians from that country. With
regard to the Mormons, it would
seem not unjust to compel the au-
thorities of the church to give
bonds to return such Hawaiians as
are not content to remain in Utah
1t is one of the doctrines apparently
OF that singular denomination to
cause its converts to 90 to Utah.
1t is certainly voluntary on the
part OF the converted natives, but
their knowledge of other countries
is SO limited that they do not know
what they are doing when they 90.
and 1t is rather hard to impose on
Hawaii the burden of bringing back
such persons as believe themselves
to be deluded. An old townsman
w. A. Kinney, has shown COM
mendable zeal and activity in
L
helping the natives. He has be-
come a resident of Salt Lake Citv
