SAN FRANCISCO, March 12. - The
Ateamer Australia, which has arrived
Rere. six allsl oae-half days from Homo
Inlu. brought the Following Hawaiian
kdvices. dated March y:
Every steamer that has arrived here
during the last two months has brought
number of stecrage passengers who
have seemed to have no visible means Of
support, and no good reason for coming
10 the islands. This has occurred so
bften, and Honolulu il becoming so
bverrun with these strangers that the
idea has become prevalent that they
have come in the interest of the ex-
queen. 1t has been reported to the gov
erninent, and on seemingly good author
ity, that agents Of the ex-queen
Have Isssn IT, Grating Men
Ia both the United States and British
Columbia, principally the latter. For
some time the government refused to
believe such ruinors, but of late suspi-
eioh has been aroused, and active steps
have been taken to nip In the bud any
plot that the Royalists hare OF restoring
the queen by force. Il il claimed
that d number of these men have en-
listed in the army, and are ready at the
fist sign OF any trouble to join the Roy
alists Ia IN attack upon the government.
A bin was passed by the councils on
Thursday last that will stop the coming
of any more people of this class. Ii Is
TO the effect that any alien who lands
here must furnish good evidence that he
comes with
No sntensiSn OF Hostiiity
to the governments, and that he must be
able to show that be has means or sup
porting himself while here. Another
bill that was passed the same day pro.
rides for the deportation of All persons
new iii the isIand iii relation 10 whom
ege Il probable cause 70 helieve that
he enteftains any Unlawful intanti0ps
contrary TO the established system Dc
government. Such persons may Be ar
rested, and IL found guilty be banished
from the country for space or six
years, Of may be- imprisoned at hard
labor for one year. A prominent gov
eminent Official said that it was the ID.
tenti0n of the government to vigorously
enforce this law, and 10 stop the arrival
Of any possible help for the Royalists.
It IL estimated that over $50 OF these
suspects" have arrived since the first
Of the year.
aa Annexat!on Clab Disbauded.
The annexation club, which was
formed at the time of the revolution in
January, 1893, has been disbanded. and
a.new organization, called the Union
party, has been formed to take les place.
This was done ais the old cluhwas grow
ing too large 10 be satisfactorily man
aged. A platform has been adopted
that is favorable to the support of the
annexation cause, and the provisional
government, but is opposed to the
Asiatic immigration bill now before the
conncilss The bill. which has already
passed the second reading, provides for
the admission OF 5000 more Chinese
plantation laborers, and one plank in
the new party's platform strongly favors
the importation OF Portuguese labor In
the place Of Chinese.
Tho Labor Question
Ii assuming serious proportions, and Ia
the white elephant ON the hands of the
government, The Chinese recently held
an immense mass meeting at which
speeches were made and resolutions
passed that protested strongly against
the restrictions to be placed ON their
conntgymen who will come to the

consideration should become D law.
These restrictions are very severe and
require registration even more strict
Than that provided BY the Geary act.
Some Of the leading Chinese merchants
have openly announced their intention
OF calling ON their government for aid
Ia the event Of the passage OF the law,
and have more than hinted that man.
os-war would be sent to enforce
their demands. They have. already
declared q bcycott against . prominent
local merchant. member of the ad-
visogy council. claiming that he. ID
working against their interests. They
threaten other bcycotts against all the
white merchants, and "a many or the
firms are largely dependent on Chinese
custom. this would entail considerable
loss. Tha Porfnguese have also held O
mass meeting and protested vigorously
against the introduction OF any more
AeiAtie aats0f. They oreniy asserted
that they intend to fight to defend them
