Sea Islands returned last week and is
lying at the dock. Captain Garland,
who is in command, brought back
authoritative information that the Jap.
anese are negotiating with Spain to buy
the Ascension Islands to which country
they now belong.
1t simply proves that the Mikado is
determined to have a naval station in
the Pacific, if not in Hawaii, then else
where. 1t has also been ascertained
that the last Australian steamer brought
the Hawaiian government a demand
which has been submitted through
the Japanese counsul, SUBURB Frijii, that
in accordance with the provisions Of the
treaty of 1885. Japanese subjects in thu
Hawaiian Islands which number som'
10000, be placed upon the game politica
footing as other foreign born residents
1t is in other words demand for tn,
enfranchisement of the Japanese. Tn,
provisional government has not ye
given the Japanese representatives her
any positive ans wer, but it is disposed t.
construe the provisions of the existing
labor contract as a sufficient ground TO
refusal
1t is argued, and with reason, tina

The demand, however, is an indication
of what might have been urged some

in the Church of the Covenant, last
night His subject was Girls-Mathe-
matically considered He said that a
girl, astronomically, is a Venus, the
evening star of life. Historically speak
ing, she is only 10 years Of age, for a
girl never grows older than that, so her
history is yet a prophecy.
Taking girls geographically they are
like the Mediterranean sea- Men become
ship.wrecked on them. Botanically, a
girl is a whole flower garden and all she
requires is competent gardiner to keep
her
Philologically, all she wants in this
respect is three letters-man. Mathe-
matically she is an unsolved problem.
