MINISTER WILLIS OFFENDED.
Paragraph From an American Pa

Special Correspondence of the United
Press per steamer Gaelic
Honolulu, April II, via San Francisco,
April 19.-Aiinister Willis, who will sail for
the east on April 16 on a sixty days fur
Tough, paid his official farewell visit to the
executive on April II. After the customary
interchange Of friendships the minister
took occasion to express dissent with a
paragraph in the Advertiser of that date,
intimating that it was the organ of the
government, an employe, Collector J. B.
Castle, being the political stockholder
therein.
Foreign Minister Cooper assured Minis
ter Willis that the Advertiser was in no
way controlled or inspired by the gov
ernment, and promised TO speak to the ed
itor about the offending article, which he
did. The offending paragraph was quoted
without comment from an editorial in the
Washington star, the most damaging
words of which were: Mr.. Willis has no
value whatever in Honolulu. If anything
he is a standing affront to the people, for
whom the people OF this country feel
The next issue Of the Advertiser pointed
out that the paragraph was copied from
the Star without comment and asserts
the papers absolute independence of the
government. 1t expresses regret that the
American representative should have been
mislead by rumors, and sincerely hopes
that Mr.. Willis will recover his health,
which has been badly broken by the ner-
vous strain, owing to the trying position
he has occupied.
Since the disagreement of Jan. II there
has been no direct exchange of social
courteSieS between Mr. Willis and any
member of the executive staff.
Considerable excitement has followed
the very reluctant publication OF the tax
| lists, showing that thirty-seven sugar
corporations, having 81, ,S62, 900 of capital
stock, paid last year only $1O1, ia in taxes,
or less than So per cent. of the lawful
| per cent, even If assessed at their nominal
value. which is generally much below the
actual.
The sugar barons have done their ut
most to prevent this publication of the
facts, The legislature is certain to find a
remedy for this unequal taxation.
A riot of Portuguese took place on the
evening of April 5. It was accidentally
