THE CHINESE WILL COME
A LIMITED NUMBER To BE I'M
PORTED.
The Japanese Ballot Question Comes Up
Again in the Advisory Council
Yesterday.

At the executive session of the Advis
DRY and Executive Councils it was de-
cided to permit the importation of "a
limited number of laborers' under the
law of 1892. This was in response to
the application of the Planters Labor
and Supply Company's request, which,
together with a favorable answer, was
submitted to the open meeting of the
Advisory, by AttorneyGeneral Smith
of the Executive Council.
Minister King says applications have
already been made for leave to land be-
tween 700 and 800 coolies.
Further consideration of the positive
request by the Japanese diplomatic repre-
sentative for cession of the right of
suffrage to eligible persons of that ma
tionality, was had in the executive ses
sion. This seems more than anything
else to be a matter of principle and
politics with the japanese statesmen.
The present administration of that
country has adopted an aggressive or
advanced" foreign policy. and trans
action such as proposed here would he
big feather in its cap.
The Provisional Government replies
at length to japan. The first obstacle
in the way of any action whatsver, is
the pending project for annexation. If
the islands become part of the United
States the question of Japanese suffrage
can he settled from Washington. Next.
no one is voting here at present The
next serious objection to granting the
request is that Japan retains almost en-
tire control of her immigrants. They
continue indefinitely TO pay tribute and
bend the knee to their home Govern
ment The ballot should only go as an
appurtenance of citizenship. The Jap
anese Consul replies that they desire
suffrage only for persons qualified under
the election laws. This class would not
include the large body of coolies unable
to read or write English. To the obiec-
ii m that Japanese voters would be an
active force, practically foreign, there
is no direct reply.
No new treaty Will be made with
Japan, until this question is settled. In
the meantime Japanese immigration is

SEVERAL LETTERS.
An Important Correspondence That Has

An Important Correspondence That Has
Not Been Mentioned Before.
Something was heard at the Executive
building to-day of an important state
correspondence not heretofore mention
ed. Between the time of receipt here Of
the first and second presidential mes
sages on the Hawaiian question, the
Government addressed letter TO Mr..
Willis asking in very few words IL It
was the intention Of the United States
TO use force in carrying out the policy
laid down in the special message. MIR.
Willis answer WAS an expression of SUR
prise that such a question had been lodg-
ed and request for more definite in
quiry. Another brief note was sent cit
ing the various evidences of preparation
for warlike movement on the art of
United States forces. This did not quite
satisfy Mr. Willis and he replied with
still another interrogatory note. The
answer to this was lengthy and clear.
There has been nothing further. While
the correspondence was under way the
Corwin arrived and the regular presi.
dental message was received, All this
put another phase of the situation for
ward and the various letters and answers
because merely historical.

sIGNs OF PROMISE.

EDITOR STAR: The general public in
terest in the possible election to a
vacancy in the Advisory Council sug-
gests comparison OF the situation to
That n 1892, when an election was held
on tins island to fill two vacancies in the
House of Mobiles.
There seems a disposition in certain
quarters at this juncture to resent any
suggestions from the public on public
affairs through political organizations,
and those inclined to give any attention
TO such nominations are charged with
"bossism."
'Bossism" is indeed hateful, but how
infinitely worse was its form when it
elected Male and Hopkins TO the Ha-
waiian Legislature. Its organization at
that time was so insidious and hidden
that its existence and objects were
brought into light only by subsequent
events.
However much anything like political
dictation by the few in any quarter is 10
be regretted there is nothing now, nor
any organization in existence, which in
purpose or method may be compared in
the slightest degree to what we have
known in Hawaii and particularly ia
that to which have referred.
The movement entitled to the credit
for this change is for the present under
the leadership of an oligarchy, yet its
chief object is 10 secure the broadest
form of representative government, and
its members are by personal character SC
sensitive to public sentiment that thu
Government is in fact representative.
The intelligent interest OF all loya
citizens and their readiness to voice theil
wishes is prophecy OF the good results
to re-establish the franchise and digni
fled consideration Of all questions by thu
public is vastly encouraging,

Use" under the Provisional Government

EDITOR SrAR--Has it come to the pass
that the God-given right of petition has
been abolished, abridged or weighted
with conditions? IL looks that way.
Nearly fortnight ago the respectful
and proper petition of the Annexation
Club touching prospective vacancy in
the Advisory Council, was sent forward.
Though there has since been two ses-
sions OF the legislative body, the com
munication has not even had the small
attention OF reading and reference.
Cesar met his fate through inattention
to petitions. He postponed their read
ing but few hours. This Advisory
Council simply ignores such document

men do not seem to appreciate the fact
that strangulation of the voice OF the
people is bid for threatening discon-
tent, il nothing worse.
\ petition from the Planters Labor
and Supply Company had the peculiarly
happy treatment Of being submitted to-
gether with a favorable reply to the Adj
visory Council. But that only involved
the importation of 5000 field coolies. 1t
was, to the apparent way OF thinking of
the powers that be, OF much greater inn
portance than the mere petition of men
who have risked all in support of Gov
eminent that simply refuses to give them
hearing in the matter OF representation.
Instead OF taxation without representa-
tion it is now: ave have you wholly

EDITOR STAR: Don't holler till you're

Annexationist to-day while discussing
the feasibility OF celebrating the Seven
teenth. The statement is on a par with
the general stock of Royalist fancies and
goes for what it is worth, 1t will hardly
be needed next Wednesday by Annexa-

the principles which prevailed upon the
overthrow of monarchy and firm be-
lief that the triumph then achieved will
be as enduring as any other victory won
in the interests of civil liberty. The

ties elsewhere. Ii the mills must stop

were satiated with monarchy at home,
will be afforded an opportunity of refec-
ting on the lesson that the day teaches,

TWO FINE FIELD PIECES.
TAKEN FROM THE AUSTRIAN BAT
Terry TO DISPLAY.
One Has a History Educational Exhibit
at the Fair-A water God Cane
and shells.

Mr.. Hebron and assistants were ex-
tremely busy all of to-day at the Oceanic
dock and elsewhere assembling the Sec
ond heavy shipment for the Hawaiian
village at the California Midwinter Fair.
Several pieces of the consignment for the
Monowai will be prominent features Of
the display for the Islands.
Two pieces from the Austrian field
battery, secured by Kalakaua when that
monarch toured Europe in 1881, are in
to-days shipment. One of them is the
identical gun used in the revolution of
1889. 1t is the high-class rife cannon
that was trained on the opera house and
threw shot and shell and canister in that
direction. Col. Fisher of Bishops bank
and other gentlemen have watch charms
fashioned from metal projected by the
gun. The field piece in the engagement
was like an old-fashioned musket used
by an inexperienced sportsman. IT was
dangerous only to those operating it.
Several gunners were picked off by
sharpshooters before the field pieces were
abandoned. This battery cost the Gov
eminent between $40, 1000 and $50 900.
Local history has itlthat Kalakaua thought
the cannon were present until the bill
came in. At any rate they are service
able guns and have been ready for in
slant use several months. The pair sent
to San Francisco will be creditabe
showing in the way OF modern imple-
ments Of warfare using the most danger
Gus and effective sort OF projectiles.
A full set OF stamps, unsigned
national notes and silver coins were
shipped as treasure. At noon Mr..
Hebron was still on keen hunt for
series OF ancient copper coins and small
notes. Rev. $. +. Bishop has the best
collection extent. Strong boxes contain
sets OF law books, school text books
and maps and typical Hawaiian publ
cations. The educational display will
be prominent.
Additions to the agricultural and
horticultural departments include gi-
gantc cane from EVA, coffee, ferns,
guava, cocoanuts, mangoes, fruits and
flowers. Enough food to last the
colony month was sent by the Aus
tralia.
The live stock this time consists of a
mammoth land turtle, to which unique
interest was attached. The turtle
weighs about 250 pounds. 1t can carry
three men on its back. Its food is
grasses and young shoots. This par
ticular turtle has for some time been
the water God of Kihili." 1t was
not exactly worshiped, but it was well
understood that to succeed at the nets
one had to be in its favor. A Chinaman
unwillingly parted with this bit OF prop
erty.
About 100 very large South Sea shells
are sent on to be used in decorating the
village grounds.
No more people will leave until the
next Australia sails from here. One
important parsonage will be vigorous,
grayhaired native who lives mp Nuuanu
valley. He will take place as a type OF
the aged Kanaka.
