The effort that is being made by
certain persons in Honolulu to Sc
cure and ship contract japanese
laborers from Hawaii to the coffee
plantations in Guatemala Is meet,
ing With considerable oppo.
Sition on the island Of Hawaii
Several letters on the subject
have been received at this Office
from HiIo and vicinity calling IN
question the methods being used
and criticising the motives Of in
terested persons. One of the more
moderate Of these letters is pub
Iished this morning. Another, from
q prominent japanese at Hilo,
scores Mr.. Date for the part he is
taking in aiding the scheme, and
intimates that Buddhist priests are
being used to influence japanese
laborers whose terms of contract
on the plantations have expired to
sign new contracts for service in
Guatemala The japanese referred
to asserts that Mr.. Full, the Jap
anese consul, is opposed to the
scheme on the ground that it is IN
safe to entrust Japanese Iaborers to
the custody Of the men back of the
movement, when there is no treaty
between Japan and Guatemala to
protect them in case of mistreat-
ment- This may OF may not be

AND MINISTER PLESIPOTEN-
TIARY TO HAWAII.

termined to leave by the steamer
Gaelic due today. The decision TO
leave about the present time was
made some three weeks ago, and
the Washington authorities were
notified Of this determination by a
previous mail. It is not improba-
bic that Minister Blount's successor
viii arrive by the steamer Oceanic
from San Francisco today.
In answer to inquiries made by
an ADVERTISER reporter yesterday,
Minister Blount stated the reasons
for his departure were purely per
sonal and for some time the pres
sure of his private business had
demanded his return. This ne had
delayed as long as possible and ne
felt it was MS duty to go now, even
though his successor should not
arrive today-unless he should re-
ceive positive orders to the con-
trary from the state department by
today's mail, which ne does not an
ticipate.
Minister BIount arrived here on
March 18th. by the {. S. revenue
cutter Richard Rush, and has con-
sequently been something over
four months an official soiourner
in the Hawaiian Islands. His
work in preparing his report on
Hawaiian affairs to the United
States government has occupied
fully four months of his time. In
this period, with the aid of one
secretary, as commissioner and 1
minister to these islands, he has
performed an amount of labor that |
probably very few men in the |
United States or elsewhere would |
be able to perform in the same
time and under similar difficult |
circumstances. First the facts
were CLEANED in the most thorough |
and searching manner from all |
sides of the question at issue. The |
amount Of verbosity accompanying
the testimony made the labor of
editing and sitting the evidence
very great. Added to this was the
and compilation of eco
nomic and historical facts and sta
tistics which were received and |
arranged down TO the hour almost
that Minister Blount's report was
forwarded to Washington a few
weeks ago.
With regard to their visit to the
both Minister and Mrs.
Blount speak in the highest
terms. Minister Blount regretted /
that the nature and number of his /
duties prevented him from ming
ling more with the citizens Of Ha-
Bsii, and he remarked that he
believed Mrs. BlOunt knew more
about Hawaii from a social stand
point than he did. However" he
added. laughing, Il believe | have
done my part Of the work, and
shall not regret leaving owing 10
the pressure OF very personal mat
.ers; at the same time, / am cory 7
have not been able 10 see more Of T
Hawaii than the limit Of my duties
has allowed"
After arrival at San Francisco, +
Minister Blount vill determine
whether MS destination will be
first Washington city Or Macon,
Ga. upon the receipt of adgices It
that city.

has refused to grant Charles II. Meyer, the
imperial German consul at Philadelphia,
who is acting as attorney for 100 persons in
Germany, letters of administration on the
estate of George Rapp, the founder OF the
Harmony society. These persons claimed
to be- collateral heirs. and in 1885 banded
themselves together to secure letters of ad-
ministration upon the Economics estate.
Gertrude Rapp, a granddaughter, who
was then living, n member of the Econo-
mite society, flied objections aud the lstteIs
we're refused. In 1859 Miss Gertrude Rapp
died and bequeathed oil her estate to the
Harmony society. Her estate was duly ad-
ministered upon, yet shortly afterwards the
application by the German consul for let
terra upon the estate of George ltapp was
renewed, but has been again refused on the
ground that whatever estate Rapp left was
vested in his granddaughter and disposed
of by her.
