The Southwick bill. RESTRICTING the

ployed, has been favorablv reported IN
the house by the labor committee. II
Is an emlnently Just measure. TOR while
IL protects honest labor against wide

the statute books now which prohibits
the importation of foreign convict-made
goods INTO the United States. and the
proposed legislation is but a rational
ana logical sequence 10 this. The eff

immediate restriction of convict labor
to the amount of product that can be
absorbed within the respective state

business is being handicapped bv this

FROM THE DARK JUNGLE.
A Big Baboon Brought Over On tho Bark
Hermes.

An emigrant with an Afro-Hibernian
countenance arrived on the Swedish
bark Hermes, a captive in chains. He
is large South African baboon of in
telligent appearance and manners and
was brought from East London, South
Africa, by the captain of the bark. He
is only is months old, stands four feet
in height and with little training
could give that long distance orator,
Corbett, discussion that would make
his hair rise in fright and his oily
tongue lose its cunning. When the
nlipper sailed from this country he
tied up the balloon with light chain
and box was given him to sleep in near
the cooks gallery, and he often OBJ

One day when the ship had been,.out

proceeded to smash the crockegy in the

crew had 10 eat from various utensils
during the remainder of the voyage.
Later he again broke stronger chain
and assaulted the captains son. who
was at wheel and if the first and second
mate had net interfered the man would
have suffered injury. The ape had a
great time on She trip, and to ttll of his

REGARDING PARIS cABMEN.

Bicycling in France has led to one
strange and quite unexpected result.
1t has made the authorities keep
firmer hand on the Paris cabmen. The
dangers of the pedestrian attempting
to cross the Place d'Opera were enor-
mousIy increased when he had TO deal
with both cabs and bicycles, and the
number of accidents drew attention to
reckless driving in the great thorough
fares The authorities went very fully
into the matter, and a budget Of new
regulations came into force at the be-
ginning of the present month. Cab
men, henceforth, go through very rigid
examination before their licenses are
granted.

Pacific Mail wharf between s and 9
o'clock yesterday morning by Inspect
ors Schmedon and Manoha, for in this
case were found four large tins of crack
ers duly sealed and prepared for ship
ment, in the bottom of each of which
was another, containing Is half-pound
tins of that slippery, molasses-like sub
stance known as opium.
For weeks and months in the inspect
ors and guards have been hard at work
opening packages from foreign ports
and searching in every possible place
for some trace of opium, and they
have had to stand the brunt of taunts
cast at them from all sides regarding
their inability to catch anything, but
now the laugh is on the other side
When the freight from the Mount
Lebanon was discharged on the Pa
cific Mail wharf Port Surveyor Strate-
meyer gave strict orders to the inspect
ors in charge to make a complete
search of every package. There was
more than good reason to believe that
opium was somewhere about.
The Mount Lebanon sailed away for
Yokohama at o'clock in the morning,
leaving, among other things, ia cases
of crackers shipped by the Portland
Cracker Company to the Washington
Feed Company, of which A. L. Nor
ris is agent. Together with this were
100 barrels of salmon, shipped to the
same company.
The inspectors and guards at once
set to work and the very first case OF
crackers opened, just as the permit
arrived, was found to contain opium.
A cry went up, and drays came down
to take the crackers and salmon to the
bonded warehouse, where the inspect
ors and guards lined up in battle array
to proceed to the attack of the crack
ers.
Up to closing time about 40 cases
had been opened and eight were found
to contain opium to the total amount
of $50 tins.
The Custom House authorities have
reason to believe that no more opium

rendered selections during the hours
mentioned.
At sunset another salute of p guns
was fired, and as at sunrise and noon
the Portuguese flag went up again at
Lusitana hall.
At p. m. a reception was held, and
from that time until after 9 o'clock
there was a perfect stream of Portu-
guse and others who came to pay their
respects. The following were in the

OF MESSAGE FOUND IN CASE
OF CRACKERS.

furnished by Lorin A. Thurston.
While it is generally believed about
town that Lowden had nothing at all
to do with the smuggling of the opium
into the country, still he was the only
man upon whom the Custom House
authorities had any right to lay hands
until further investigation into the
matter should give them grounds for
arresting others.
1t is the general belief about the
water front and in other sections of
the city that the opium is the property
of a combination of three Honolulu
men. Suspicion rests on these men,
and it is probable they will be arrested
during the day.
1t is a rather peculiar fact that all the
cases which were found to contain
opium were marked F'sodas" in plain,
black letters, and had the words,
- Washington Feed Company" with the
name of a prominent firm of Honolulu
directly beneath plainly stamped there
OIl HIS VI COuI DC, was oAAiPiy
dodge to facilitate the passage of the
opium through the hands of the Gus
tom House authorities.
Another peculiar fact is that the in
ward manifest of the Mount Lebanon
called for 1874 cases, while in reality
but ia arrived. If the opium had not
been detected, it is just likely that the
10 cases short" would have come
through on the next steamer and pass
ed the authorities with flying colors.
1t is no more than fair that the
guards on duty at the Pacific Mail
wharf yesterday morning be given cred
it for their part in the find. and for
that reason their names are given as
follows: Morris, Kahiapo, Kekahia and
Nunes.
To George Stratemeyer is due the
credit of following up the case (and
cases. and of directing his assistants
upon the right scent.

which the opium was contained were

Chesney & Son, Wing Wo Chan & Co,
All Leong. Lee Toma and others was
1855. The actual number that arrived
was TIA, or a difference of eight cases,
which is the exact number in which
opium was found
On top of the tins in one of the cases
containing opium was a piece of card
board, upon which were written in blue
pencil the words: well, what do
you mean?" a fac-simile of which is
given with this article. Although this
may have no significance whatever,
still the very fact that it was placed
there would certainly argue otherwise.
If it is cipher it may have some i'm
portant place in the investigation which
will surely result from the capture of
the opium
AS soon as the opium was found a
warrant was issued by Inspector
Schmedon for the arrest of Samuel
Lowden of the Washington Feed Com
pany, who swore to the entry made
out for the crackers and salmon. He
was released later on $1,000 bail
