An Attractive Issue.

The Paradise of the Pacific for
May has appeared, and this first
number under the new manage
ment already marks a great i'm.
provement over previous issues. 1t
contains a considerable quantity of
original matter, all of which is of
much interest, while the selections
are judiciously made. The illus
trated supplement, which appears
as a frontispiece, is a charming
group of half-toues, and is the
prettiest piece of work ever done in
Honolulu. A good feature of this
issue is the prominence it gives to
the attractions of the islands as a
place for investment, valuable in
formation being given on coffee,
hemp and other actual or possible
objects of production.

Harden has made number of friends
during his stay in the station. His
unfailing good nature makes it al
most impossible for one to become
angry with him, and he is generally
looked upon as a harmless kind OF
crank. He does not see the slightest
thing out of the way in his latest es-
capade, but takes the whole matter as
a huge joke. He says that he will not
be allowed to land in Victoria unless
he has at least $50 with him, and re-
marked yesterday that the "dear gov
eminent would have to dig up that
amount for him if it wanted to get
rid of him."
The trip to Vancouver is regarded
as kind of outing by the irrepressi-

upon the matter as another chapter in
his most eventful life.

JOHNSON ISLAND.
It Appears to be an American Pos
session.

The reported departure of the
British cruiser Champion from
Honolulu to take possession of
johnson Island, one of the Ladrone
group, in the name of the English
Government, has aroused consider
able interest relative to the owner
ship of the island, said the San
Francisco Chronicle in August,
1892. The records of the
Attorney-Generaps Office at Wash
ington would seem to prove
conclusively that the island is an
American possession, and was
made such by Captain W. H. Par
ker in 1852. During a trade expe-
dition in the South Pacific at that
time Parker is said to have discov-
cred Johnson Island, roughly sur
veyed it, and, upon finding it to
contain rich deposits of guano, he
took possession of it in the name of
the United States. In 1857 this
claim, with the details of the dis
covery, was filed with Secretary of
State Cass.
Parker subsequently organized
the Pacific Guano Company, and
in 1858 another expedition was
fitted out at this port and once
more the island was taken posses
sion of by American navigators
and in the name of their nation.
Parker died in 1859, but prior to
his demise he is said to have trans
ferred the greater portion of his
claim to Captain Martin Roberts
and Theodore C. Mayes, both of
this city, receiving in return Sc, 600.
In view of these facts and apart
from the cloud over the title caused
by the several claimants in this
country, there would appear to be
no question regarding the fact of
American possession.
Captain Roberts declares the
island to be excellently situated
for a war station and provided with
suitable harbor. The disputed
possession lies Immediately south
of the direct route to China and on
the proposed route of the English
cable from New Zealand to Homo
lulu. In troublesome times its
claimant believes it would be worth
at least 100000 to the United
States.

Francis Leo G. Harden still rests in
durance vile. He seems to be per.
fectly contented, however, with his
lot, and says that he will be content
so stay there awhile, if he has as easy
a time as he has had during the last
few days.
Speaking to an ADVERTISER man
yesterday, Harden said:
~ am much wronged individual.
1 had nothing to do with the robbery
at all, and in the matter of returning
the goods to Daley 1 simply acted as
commission agent or collector would
do. A Chinese friend of mine, who
deals in opium, telephoned me on Fri
day that he wanted to see me, and we
drove up PunchbOwl together. Here
the Chinaman showed me a hole in
which he had buried a couple of pis-
tolls, and told me that his partner, the
man who had done the burglariZiDg,
would be there at a certain time. |
went back to town and saw Daley.
He hummed and hawed and haggled,
and at last l agreed to accept SIS, as
the best could do fo- my client. OF
the amount obtained, l was to receive
20 per cent.
"When we had settled our little
business, Daley asked me to have a
drink. We went in to the hotel bar,
and Daley took brandy while stuck
to lemonade, so you see [ am very
moral young man.
"When we got to the top of Punch
bowl called out and man put his
head over the wall and pointed a gun
at US. 1 don't know who this man
was or if do am not going to tell.
The stolen goods We're then handed
over, and L got $25 from Daley, and
gave the man with the mask 500,
keeping my commission. We made
no attempt whatever to take any
thing else from Daley, but we could
have done it easily enough, as he
showed considerable gold in his purse.
l consider that l conducted the bust
ness as any other respectable business
agent would have done.
"After Daley had all his things, we
drove around the old battery, and
stopped to look at the scenery. 1

SPEED THE PARTING GUEST.
Chester A. Doyle Goes on Very
Important Mission.

For some days, or since the ar
rival of Lieutenant Boeter, the
friends of Chester A. Doyle have
noticed what is colloquially termed
far.away look in his eyes, and
they are at loss for the cause.
Whether or not he has decided to
follow in the footsteps of the Ger
man officer, no one knows, but his
conduct for a day or SO would lead
people to suppose he had. 1t was
announced in yesterdays ADvER.
TIsER that he was going to
make a flying trip to Maui IN
search of a legacy but one of his
eountrymen-Mr. Yamichiro Maru
by name-said that instead of 60
ing after legacy he will journey
to interview Fred Hayselden, with
the intention of purchasing the
island of Lanai to found a fruit
eating and no-clothes colony" Ac-
cording to Mr.. Maru's statement,
he will not 60 alone to the island
mentioned, but will be accompanied
by the members of "The Ancient
Order of Never-Sleeps," who have
been going around with seal
brown taste in their mouths ever
since the last seance.
1t is not known just why Mr..
Doyle and his friends are going to
leave this sunny isle, and the sup
position is that they have decided to
boycott the tailors, as it was only
the other day that the high court
Interpreter was heard to remark
that all tailors ought to be banished
to Hilo for the rest of their natural
lives. 1t seems that he went into
a shop and wanted to know if he
could get forty-dollar suit for $40,
but he was disappointed in the
reply, which was: "We are out of
the kind asked for, but we have
some nice ten-dollar suits for $40"
This broke Mr.. Doyle's heart, and
now he is going to Lanai to live on
fruit, with an occasional steak
thrown in. He leaves this morn
ing on the w. G.. Hall.

W. G. SMITH TO LEAVE.
He Intends Going on the MaripOsa
Thursday.

Walter G. Smith, until recently
editor of the Star, is booked to
leave on the Mariposa. 1t has
been rumored during the last few
days that Mr.. Smith, with Edward
Towse and George Manson, intended
to start another morning paper
here, and that they had decided to
purchase the plant of one of the
evening papers. This, however, is
not true.
Mr.. Smith will be greatly missed
from Honolulu by the many friends
he has made during the past year.
He has been strong and fearless
champion of the annexation cause
ever since his arrival, and his de-
parture will be regretted.
