SUNDAY MORNING FIRE IN OXFORD.

OXFORD, Nd, Aug. ia fire broke
out in Oxford early this morning, COM
pletely destroying three houses. The
occupants of the houses were saved after
considerable efforts. The steamer Joppa,
coming up the river at the time the IRE
broke out, went in as close to the shore
as she could and ran out hose. Captain
Corkran, with his crew, rendered able
assistance by throwing water from
the river on the ire. Had it not been
for their assistance at least 20 houses
would have been burned. Two OF the
buildings destroyed belonged to Mrs.
Seward, of Princess Anne, Md, and
were occupied by Thomas Elliott aud
James Manders. The other house was
owned and occupied by John O. Potter.
The loss is between $4,000 anu 5000.
The insurance about $4,000.

The King of Siam.

The present King of Siam, who has
been reigning for more than twenty
five years, is named Chulalongkorn
as sovereign, but his family name is
Sourdetch Phra Paramindr Maha.
He was born September 81, 1883, sue
ceeded his father on October !, 1868,
and is generally allowed to be a well
meaning and intelligent Prince.
He has shown himself anxious to i'm
prove the condition of his people, even
going SO far in his desire to ascertain
their wants as to wander about the
streets of his capital in diguse, playing
the part Of modern Haroun- Ras
child, and some amusing stories are told
OF the scant courtesy he met With from
many Of his subjects.
During tour in the Straits settle
ments he was most asslduous in obtain.
ing information about improvements
which he wished to introduce into
Bangkok
He has initiated several important
reforms, and among them one affecting
the dynasty. 1t was the old preroga-
tive Of the Siamese' rulers to appoint
their favorite son or relative their heir,
but Sourdetch Phra was the eldest son
of the King Maha Mungkat, and he in
turn has appointed his eldest son his
heir.
In 1887 this young prince was pro-
claimed Crown Prince, and it was then
understood that the principle of primo
geniture had been finally adopted with
regard to the Samese succession.
Enlightened, humane and high
minded, the King has promoted justice,
concord and tranquility and put an end
to many bad old customs.
He may be said to have at least par
tally abolished slavery in his domnions

PROF. K0EBELE SENT FOR
BY THE BUREAU OF AGRICUL-
TURE
He is Asked to Come to Honolulu and
Investigate the Pests AS Soon
AS Possible.

Every possible arrangement that can
now be determined has bsen made by
the Bureau of Agriculture and the
Planters Labor and Supply Company,
and as far as it rests with the Bureau
the services of Mr.. Koebee are already
engaged. Commissioner Marsden has
addressed the following letter to the
Alameda entomologist by the Australia
this morning and his arrival here may
be looked for shortly. The letter ex.
plains itself:
Albert KoebeIe, Esq, alameda -
DEAR SIR: | have the honor to in
form you that at meeting of the
Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry,
held on September Sth, it was decided
to accept the Offer of your services
as entomologist to search for and intro
duce into the Hawaiian Islands the
natural enemies of the many blight
and insect pests that are prevalent here.
Your salary will commence on the Ist
of October, 1893. While it is under
stood that you are engaged for a term
Of three years, | must inform you
that the Government cannot be bound
for any salary or any payment whatso
ever after the 3rst of March, 1894, the
date on which the appropriations of the
last legislature ends. All salaries and
supplies have to be voted on by the
Government for each biennial period,
and the next p, Rod will commence on
April Ist. There is not the slightest
doubt but that the Government will vote
the necessary sum to defray Their part
of your salary and expenses, and in
connection | would call your attention
70 the resolution (Which | enclose) of
the Planters LabJr and Supply Com.
pany, in which they agree to deiray, for
the period of three years, one-half Of
your salary and expenses on condition
that the Government defrays the other
half You will, therefore, readily see that
it is only matter of law that prevents
the Bureau of Agriculture binding
themselves for your salary for three
years, while it is as certain as anything
can be that next April the amount will
be voted. BY next mail | will send
you particulars Of what arrangements
we have made for you to draw your
salary while in California, as soon as
YOU have sent US what parasites you
can from there. We should like you
to come to Honolulu and make an ex-
animation Of blights and pests that are
now SO numerous. Trusting that we
may soon have the pleasure of seeing
you here, remain,
Yours respectfully,

the Street-car line up the Nuuanu valley

man of the local board of directors,
demonstrated that both reports were
groundless, and that at present the
street car company has no intention Of
making any changes, and that it has
not made any overtures for the pur-
chase of the lot in question.
Mr.. Patty said, however, that certain
parties were in the city from Boston,
who were trying to buy the franchises
of his company, with view to putting
in an electric road in place of the pres
ent horse.car system, but the prices
asked and offered were so much al
variance that no trade could be made.

LAST OF THE HOLOMUA."
Its Typographical Plant Sold by the
Marshal,

The sidewalk in front of the Police
Station was ornamented this morning
with a miscellaneous lot of old type,
cases, tables, stools and other parapher-
MALTA usually found in a fourth-class
printing office. The outfit belonged
to the Holomna plant and was sold
under execution at noon to day by the
Marshal. The execution was issued
in the suit of Paahao VS.. J. G. Kenyon,
trustee, for $50 II and costs, but dur
ing the morning an additional execu,
ton was filed with the Marshal for
similar amount. Shortly after twelve
o'clock the sale commenced, large
crowd of interested spectators
being on hand. The bidding was
decidedly spasmodic, and though con-
fined to two parties was the subject of
much comment. F. ]. Tesla made
the first bid of $a5 and was promptly
raised SIS by A. Prendergast, who
seemed to be acting for Messrs. Ken
yon and Norrie, the late editors of the
paper. Alternate raises of SIS ran the
price up to SIS, when the bidding
languished and the property nearly
went at that figure. By bids cf So SO,
81 and 50 cents the price was gradu-
ally raised to STA and sold, so the
auctioneer said, to Prendergast Mr.
Tesla objected, however, and claimed
that he had made the last bid. The
sale was then continued, and both
parties raised each other dollar by dol
lar until the stuff was knocked down
to F. ]. Tesla as trustee 1t is supposed
the latter has purchased the property
in the interest of certain other parties
who have claims against the HOlomna.

JAP LABOR PROBLEMS.
THE PLANTERS TAKE UP THE
MATTER.
And Decide That They Will Receive
No Japanese Coolies Under the
New Conditions.

The question of Oriental labor, raised
by the decision of the Japanese Gov
eminent to charge to planters here a
certain number Of yen heretofore
charged to the account of contract
coolies, is rapidly coming to head.
The subject was considered yester.
day at meeting of the Planters Labor
and Supply Company. After vainly
trying to decipher communication
from Japanese authorities, which
seemed to include some sort of a com
promise, the company decided that ii
would take no more japanese laborers
unless they should come under the old
terms and conditions. Anticipating a
refusal of Japan to wipe out the pro
posed exaction, the Hawaiian Govern.
ment was sounded as to whether it
would agree to the importation Of
Chinese, under the statute of 1902.
Attorney General Smith informed a
STAR representative this afternoon that
the Government was looking into the
matter, but had not, as yet, defined its
policy. 1t is pretty certain, however,
that if Japan does not come back to
the old basis the little brown men of
the Flowery Kingdom will take the
places Of 5000 Japanese in the cane
felds-unless, indeed, the present in
hibitions of American law are, in the
meantime, extended over this group
