AN EX-MINISTER.
TsUI KWj YIN AND ais WIVES
AND CHILDREN
They Are Passenger by the steamer
China-Scenes and Incidents
Of their Stay.

Among the distinguished through
passengers on the s. s. China is
the ex-Chinese minister to the
United States, Hon. Tsui Kwo Yin,
on his way home to his native
land. He is accompanied by his
two wives and a little girl, and a
grown-up son about % years of
age, who acts as his fathers official
interpreter. The ex-minister and
his two wives speak only the arts
tocratic Pekin dialect; they do not
understand English. The dragon
flag of the Flowery kingdom foated
from the China's foremost as she
entered the harbor in honor of the
ex-minister.
Soon after the steamer was locked
Messrs. Goo Kim and Wong Kwai,
Chinese representatives here, ac-
companied by reception commit
tee of about twenty Chinese, met
the ex-minister in the latter's state
room and held an hours confer
ence. Messrs. Wong Kwai and
Goo Kim had on their official uni
forms, but the eX-minister was in
his everyday dress.
The ex-minister is a man of be-
tween so and 60 years of age, and
appears very slovenly in his man
nerS.
A Chinese gentleman, who was
born and educated in America, and
who is also on the China, expressed
his opinion of the ex-minister as
one who might be somebody in
China, but who was the wrong man
to send to foreign power.
While the conversation was going
on his two wives were pointed out
to the reporter. They were sitting
on the bench biting off sugar cane.
They are certainly quite contrast
to the beautiful and accomplished
wife Of the Chinese ambassador
who passed through here last month
by the Gaelic.
About II o'clock the son of the
ex-minister was driven up to the
hall of the Chinese society. He
returned to the vessel about 8
o'clock, escorted by Mr.. Goo Kim,
Wong Kwai and the twenty COM
mitteemen.
The ex-minister remained on the
steamer all day with his wives and
little girl. He is said to be very
fond of the latter. One of the
wives of the ex-minister will land
at Yokohama while the other wife
and son will go direct to Pekin with
him.

Matters.

Claus Spreckels will start East
on Wednesday next. He will go
to Chicago first and thence to
Washington.
He is as outspoken as ever as to
his attitude in Hawaiian affairs
and don't hesitate to say that he
intends to do all he can in Wash
ington 10 help his side of the case
against present annexation. He
summarized his views today in
talking to Bulletin man:
Suppose l had { house." said
he, "and 1 said to you that you
could go ahead and live in it rent
free. 1 would see that everything
was taken care of, and that no one
should make you go away or
should take the house away from
you. That's the position I'm in
favor of leaving the islands. Well
have protectorate or a careful
watch over them to see that every
thing goes right. BY and by,
some time, they may be annexed,
but not now. I'll guarantee to de-
liver them at any time. IS. f.

WILL FIGHT AMERICANS.
Revival of the Newspaper Ha-
Baii HOlomua.

The new edition of the Hawaii
Holomua was issued yesterday
from the old Elele office on King
street. Mr.. Edmond Norrie is the
editor. The paper is in no manner
an improvement on the Hawaii
Holomua," lately defunct for lack
Of coin. Proof has not yet been
furnished that the new edition is
not a scheme to run on credit as
was its predecessor.
The certificate of the new anti
American journal was filed at the
interior Office yesterday. It sets
forth among other things that Mr..
Charles T. Gulick is publisher, as
trustee, and "the true proprietor" as
trustee, of the new paper. Mr..
Abraham Fernandez, lately dis
charged from the firm of Z. o.
Hall ~ Son, is certified to be the
manager; and it is announced that
the paper will be published every
afternoon, except Sunday, at the
office on King street.
1t is understood that other per
sons besides those mentioned in the
certificate own the plant upon
which the Holomua is to be print
ed, and there is a suspicion that
the general term trustee" follow
ing Mr.. Gulick's name is to cover
the personality of these unknown
"patriots."
The Hawaii Holomua men say
they have vengeance under their
skirts for their rival the Bulletin,
but will carry a free lance against
the ADVERTISER and the Star in
the meantime, for fear a second
turning up of Holomua toes may
take place before the Bulletins
credit runs out.
When the Holomua filed its Ger.
tifcate yesterday to cover the law
an intimation was made that an
incorporation would be effected
shortly. There are said to be
a few shares of stock for sale
which have not already been alb
sorbed by the price of the old Elele
plant.

PROMINENT PORTUGUESE.
Short Interview With Mr. j.
Il. Wanna OF Brazilian
4 fairs.

The ADVERTISER was favored
with an interview yesterday after
noon with Mr.. Joao Eyangelista
Wanna, Portuguese resident Of
Brazil, who with his wife are pas
sengers by the China on tour
around the world. Mr.. Wanna
has resided in Brazil for the last
twenty-five years.
He said to the reporter that the
revolution in Brazil was at an end,
and that matters both financial
and political there were mending
rapidly. The treaty Of reciprocity
with the United States was work
ing we'll and was we'll received by
the people Of Brazil.
In commerce the coffee crop for
1893 consisting of eight and a half
millions bags, of 12O pounds each,
had been shipped. He pointed out
that as the general coffee con-
sumption of the world was only
ten and a half millions bags the
proportion of coffee exported by
Brazil was something erroneous.
He stated the rubber export
in 1880 was 100000 pounds as
against 100000 pounds in 1892.
In regard to tobacco he stated
the yearly exports of this product
were nearly 10000 pounds, besides
a large amount of sugar exported,
of which he could not give the ex-
act figures.
Mr.. Wanna expressed himself as
greatly pleased with what he had
seen of Honolulu and regretted
that the steamer China was not to
remain longer in harbor so that he
could have a better view Of the
people and the country.

TWO WAR VESSELS.
The Yorktown and Charleston
Ordered Here.

A representative of this paper
was accorded a short interview
with Admiral Skerrett last night.
Replying TO question regarding
the Geographic announcement yes
terday that seven American war
vessels had been ordered here, the
admiral stated that several months
ago he received instructions from
the navy department that the
Yorktown and Charleston had been
attached to his station, and notifi-
cation that these vessels had sailed
for Honolulu.
The two warships were to touch
at Callao for orders and proceed to
this port. So far as the other YES
sells mentioned in the dispatches
were concerned, Admiral Skerrett
said he knew absolutely nothing
concerning them and had received
no official notice of their sailing for
Honolulu. He further stated that
it would be some time before the
Yorktown and Charleston could ar
rive here.
Admiral Skerrett inclined to the
belief that settlement of the Ha-
waiian question was progressing
favorably, and he saw no occasion
for any uneasiness regarding the
matter.

Other members of the fire department
having been granted an increase OF
salary, 1t would seem that the chief,
deputy chief and call engineers are en-
titled to the same treatment at the
hands of the city government. But it
may be asked why the claims OF these
officers were not considered when the
bill recently passed was under consider
alton.
To say the least, this piecemeal system
is unbusiness-like and by some may be
regarded as peculiar. Certainly the
time for the chief and the other officers
named in the bill introduced yesterday
in the board to have presented their
claims was when the finance committee
was considering the matter Of increasing
the salaries Of the other members Of the
department.
BY failing to do so they created the
impression that they were satisfied with
their present emolument, and if the
council now finds itself unable to grant
what they ask they will only have them
selves to blame.

THEINyiTATION ACCEPTED.

Five of the eight members of the
board of aldermen, who attended the
meeting OF that body yesterday after
noon, succeeded In securing the accept
ance Of the councils invitation to 90
into joint convention next Monday
evening for the election Of an inspector
OF plumbing. II was limited, however,
that an effort will be made to prevent
the assembling Of a quorum, thus again
delaying the election.
If such is the scheme of Mr.. West
and his supporters It should be defeated.
There are six members of the board who
are known to favor an election at once,
and il is to be hoped they will make il a
point to be present next Monday even
ing even at the expense OF some personal
Inconvenience.
The West combine has had its own
way too long. 1t has dragged politics
into the matter and brazenly insisted
that unless IL can name the inspecto OF
none shall be chosen. IL Is about time
these peanut politicians were taught
that the majority has some rights
which 1t proposes TO usiptsin.

Secretary CarIisle's explanation Of

Secretary Carlisle's explanation Of his
silver purchase policy is very weak.
The purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act provides for monthly purchase Of
4,50O, 900 ounces of silver bullion "at the
market price," There are no IFS nor
ands about it. The language is plain
and the provision is mandatory.
But Secretary Carlisle disregarded the
law and during July and Augustine did
not purchase the amount of silver
called for. The reason then given was
that the holders of silver demanded
more than the market price. and
the treasury department interpreted
"the market price" to be the price in
London.
In his letter to the speaker of the
house, however, Mr.. Carlisle carefully
refrains from saying anything about the
price in London, but says it "seems en-
inently proper" that the secretary of the
treasury ''should determine what in his
judgment is fair market price," adj
ding; 1t is simply because the dealers
were not willing to accept what was
considered a fair market price that
4,500, 900 ounces were not purchased
during the months of July and August"
The simple fact remains that the
Secretary of the treasury violated law
of congress because free independent
citizens of the United States demanded
higher price for an American product
than the ruling price in London. We
judge from this that If congress should
direct him to purchase the labor Of
4,500, 900 men cat the market price" he
would refuse to engage Americans IL
they demanded higher wages than were
being paid in London. Aud, in fact,
isn't that the policy that the Demo
cratic party proposes to inaugurate?
If London is to control the price OF
American silver, why not allow London
to control the price of American labor?
Why not change the dollar mark to the
pound mark? Why.not change the high
scale of wages in the United States to
the low scale Of wages in England? Car
Isle undoubtedly would make the latter
change If he could, and the Democratic
party will make it il it retains power
II its proposed free-trade policy becomes
reality.
Is the American wage-earner 30 blind
that he cannot see what is in store for
him under Democratic rule?

YESTERDAYS YACHT CONTEST.

Yesterdays conditions, so far as wind
was concerned, were anything but fav-
orable for race. and the predictions
made when the vigilant and Valkyrie
went over the line in the morning that
neither would be able to finish within
the six hours allowed was verified.
The yachts did little better than drift,
and in this the Dunraven cutter proved
herself to be quite as successful as the
Bristol boat. The fact that the VAL
kyrie was able to overtake and
pass the Vigilant before the
turning point was reached led some
of the latter's admirers to lessen their
confidence in her ability to keep the cup
on this side Of the ocean. For this
change of opinion the actual perform
ance of the vigilant gives no warrant
as an examination of the latest reports
of the contest clearly shows.
When the yachts started on the
fifteen mile run to the outer mark the
wind was light but yet strong enough to
fill out the canvas. This lasted for only
twenty minutes, and in that time the
Vigilant outfooted her English rival,
putting an eighth OF a mile of water
between them. Then the light air
failed and the yachts lay practically
becalmed.
Up to this point the Vigilant had
clearly the advantage and no doubt
would have maintained it had she held
to her course. Instead of doing that.
however, she was run miles out of 1t
in fruitless search for wind.
The Valkyrie, however, held to
the straight course and thus secured the
lead, The vigilant's failure to main
tain the advantage obtained earlier was
due, therefore, to an error of judgment
on the part of her skipper and not to
her lack Of speed. That in speed she
was more than a match for the, Valky-
rie was shown when the boats
were on the homeward reach.
The wind had freshened somewhat and
the Bristol yacht was fast overhauling
the Valkyrie when the signals announc-
ing that the race was postponed were
set.
Taken all In all yesterdays trial
should increase instead Of lessening
confidence in the vigilant's ability to
outsail the Dunraven yacht.
