THE QUEENS PIPE.

Since the abolition of The Queen S
Pipe" some few years ago, in which
were consumed all seized tobacco and
cigars. soldiers going to foreign sta
tons have had these dealt out to them
on board troopships. The quantity OBJ
tanned in this way is now very small;
last year only three tons were captured.
Although it is early in the trooplng
season, the smuggled stock Is eX-
hausted For the present, therefore,
there will be no free smokes for troops
leaving Southampton. On board ship
they will. as a matter of course, be
able to purchase it free of duty and at
cost of about 1 penny per ounce.
For this purpose, and for the use of
sailors generally, over 700 tons of to-
bacco leaves this country free of duty
annually Although the consumption
has increased in Great Britain, the
amount exported as ships stores is
not so high as it was eight years ago.
The average consumption OF tobacco
per head of population is now &c
ounces; 10 years ago it was not quite
"A ounces, and Is years ago the aver
age was l ounce per head less. The
consumption is, therefore, increasing
three times as rapidly as the popula
ton. The number of persons in the
United Kingdom selling tobacco has in
creased from 296, 600 to 317,000 in the
last Is years. For Scotland the num-
bers are 24,236 and 6,827, respectively.
But, on the other hand, the manufac-
turers of tobacco have decreased from
59S in 1880 to 495 last year throughout
the country, while in Scotland in that
interval they have fallen from 101 to
"a. The experimental cultivation of
tobacco at home has almost ceased.
Nothing has been cured in Scotland
since 1888, nor in Ireland since 1889,
and as regards this country, only 10
pounds of marketable tobacco have
been produced in the past four years.
The results of the experiments al
lowed by the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer have not, therefore, been sat
isfactOry, and so confirm the opinions
OF the committee appointed by the
House of Commons nearly 20 years ago
to report upon the subject.-Exchange

Manuel Perry Again.

Manuel Perry. the hack driver, went
off on a quiet time by himself yester-
day morning, and in sauntering along
Nuuanu avenue met with a japanese
French boss" candy seller, with whom
he started up a conversation. Man
uel's legs We're not what they were in
boyhOod's early days, when alcohol
was a thing he did not know, and the
consequence was he fell upon the tray
containing the pink and white candy
and smashed the glass top.
The Japanese was very orderly, and
instead of showing fight, called on
Jim Kupihea, a police officer standing
near by, to arrest Manuel. Jim started
after him, and Manuel ran into sa-
loon. Here a tussle resulted from the
attempt of the officer to arrest the
hack driver, but the former gained his
point, and now Manuel awaits trial be-
hind prison bars.

.sWavs That Are Dark =

When some of the circumstances al
the fish market are known it will not
be wondered at that NakookOO, Inspect
or Keliipio's assistant, struck back at
one of the Chinese fish dealers, who
tried TO get out of the barrel some of
the fish that the former had thrown
away.
When a lot of fish arrive at the mar
ket the dealers are given a certain
space of time during which to sell the
same If they are not sold at the eX-
piration of that time they must salt
them down or throw them away.
The mode of evading the vigilance of
the inspectors has heretofore been to
mix the old with the new fish and stand
the chance of having them passed by.
The fish that NakoOkOo found the
other day in the stall of one of the
Chinese dealers were just this kind.
Since that time the Cinnamon have
resorted to a new method. This lat
est trick is to cut off the heads of fish
which have reached the limit of time
for sale assigned them by the inspect
ors. Mr. Keliipio does not intend to
stand any nonsense, and the conse-
quence is that one of the Cinnamon
will be prosecuted soon.

Government Action.

Two or three days ago Marshal
Brown received information that the
free Japanese immi grants to arrive by
the TOya Maru would be loaned with
the coin necessary to land in Honolu-
lu. The information, while presuma-
bly, from a reliable source, was not
considered such that it could be acted
upon without the matter being inves-
tigated.
When the vessel arrived the Japan
csc were placed in quarantine, and the
usual questions put to those who had
booked as free laborers. Of the SO so
mentioned sc were found to have the
required amount, and they promptly
showed out their hands containing $50
promptness was unusual, and the mat
ter was reported to the Marshal, who
Immediately detailed c. A Doyle and
an intelligent Japanese to go to the
quarantine station and investigate
The result was that Al of the free
men admitted that the money they pos
sessed had been furnished by some one
on the Toya Maru, and that they were
to return the amount as soon as they
were allowed to leave the station.
list of names was made out, and
a report was made by Mr.. Doyle to the
Marshal, and in turn submitted to the
Attorney To still further
verify the reports two officials of the
Customs Service went over to the sta
ton, and after careful inquiry, found
43 men and 10 females who could not
land as free laborers and "a men and
16 women who could. The former will
be returned to Japan by the Toya Ma
ru on Monday.
These people were all consigned to
the Japan immigration Company, of
which Yenase e Co., corner Nuuanu
and Queen streets, are the Japanese
agents, and George E. Boardman, the
foreign agent. Inquiry at the office of
the company elected no information;
Mr. Boardman had gone up town, and
the manager Of the company denied
knowing anything about
it. The manager also stated that the
of the company in Japan, who
came as a passenger on the steamer,
said he knew absolutely nothing about
the matter The opinion of Yenase
& Co. was that the matter was one
which merited investigation, as it was
believed by them that it was SpitewOrk
on the part of an opposition company
that has found it difficult of late to Sc
cure any orders, and is jealous of the
of their new company.
Just what action the Government
will take in the premises is not known,
but it is rumored that the license will
be revoked as was the case with Ogura
& Co., the firm with which Mr.. Board
man was formerly connected. The
free laborers, however, do not come
through the firm, and it is thought that
only the steamship company will be
held responsible, but as the officers of
that are almost identical with the Of
6cers of the immigration company in
Japan. the action of the Government
may cut both ways.

DunraYen Beaten Again.

Lord Dunraven has sneahed off
home again after having failed utterly
to substantiate any one of the charges
of fraud in connection with the Defend
er-Valkyrie races. The fullest possible
investigation has been made before a
committee of the New York yacht
club in whom Lord Dunraven has eX-
pressed the utmost confidence. His
lordship was represented by a noted
English lawyer, George r. Askwith,
and the Defender syndicate by Joseph
II. Choate, one of the leading men,
bers of the New York bar. Dunraven
now finds little sympathy with his
outrageous course, even in England
and one of the leading English papers
the London Chronicle says: Lord
Dunraven's failure to incrininate the
Defenders owner or crew is complete.

he has done more to breed bad blood

The Potatoes Nativity.

It is generally said that the potato
is exclusively native of the Western
continent, whence it was introduced
into Europe about three hundred years
ago But the Chinese had the potato
growing long before the discovery of
America by Columbus. It is still
found growing wild on the borders of
Tartary, and in the western provinces
of China the potato is as much staple
food as rice is in the eastern portions of
the empire. 1t seems certain that the
potato was indigenous to both hemis-
pheres, though it was unknown in
Europe until it was introduced by Sir
Walter Raleigh.
