Hawaii Denies That Her
Laws Violate the
- Treaty.
Claims the Right to Reject
Immigrants of Any Ma
tionaIity.
Refuses to Entertain the Sugges-
ton OF Indemnity Made by
the Mlkado.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, May "a 24-To-day
the Hawaiian Government has joined is
sue with the Complaint of the Japanese
Government regarding the application of
the immigration laws of this country to
the subjects OF japan.
H. Z. Cooper, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, on beng Interviewed by your
representative on the subject, gave brief
statement both of the Japanese com plant
and Of the Hawaiian reply.
The communication from the Japanese
Government contains an intimation that
II the Hawaiian Government has prop
erly interpre ed the immigration laws,
then those laws are in derogation of the
treaty OF 1871. 1t charges that the ad-
minlstrallon of the laws by the Hawaiian
Government was arbitrary and capricious
and In violation OF prior precedents. The
conclusion arrived at from the foregoing
propositions is that the Japanese Govern
ment a, ks the Hawaiian Government to
recognize the principle of indemnitication
in connection with the alleged wrongs
done to Japanesa subjects by the admin-
lstratlon of the laws in question. Further
the japanese Government requests an
assurance that similar occurrence 10
ludl upon Wnlcn the com plalnL Is DaSeu
shall not happen again. ..----. '..- :.
In repiying to the complaint the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs saws, in effect, that
the i'm mi grafton laws OF Hawaii are rea-
sonable exercise of the police powers of
the State. and that they are not IN con-
travention of the treaty, as they apply
TO subj ects of all powers alike; that the
laws were administered in u justlfiable
manner, and that there was no reversal of
nTlOT nrRnadapfR and that nani-
sion OF the Supreme Court on the habeas
corpus cases was a determination of the
residential rights OF immi rants and a
complete assurance that treaty stipula-
tlons had been observed; also, this Gov
srnment contends that the principle of in
demnihcation does not apply 20 the case
And, finally. that if similar infrecIions of
the immigration law should occur. like
action to that complained OF would neces-
lily follow.
The expenses connected with the de-
tentlon of the japanese on the Ki-
nau-maru and the subsequent out
break of smallpox have amour ted
TO $500. The Government called on the
Council of State TO pass an emergency
appropriation for this amount, but the
Council refused to do II. holding that
the Government must suffer for its own
negligence in not holding the ship when

i'm migration agents concerned in the yes

ment had either to hold the vessel for an
indefinite period or take chances on a
bond signed by the captain alone. They
chose the latter course, it is explained, so
as not to give the japanese Government an
additional cause OF offense. The lis in

cipal Cities of the Union.
: BOSTON, MASS. May 31-The principal
feature of the Memorial day observance
in this city was the dedication of the
monument erected in memory of Colonel
Robert Gould Shaw. whe fell in battle at
the head Of the first colored regiment
mustered into the service of the Union
from a Northern State.
The monument consists of a large alto
relief, 20 by 80 feet, which is framed in
white marble on granite base. On the
side of the base ad joining the mall on the
common is triple fountain of lions
heads. The bronze figures, heroic in size,
represent Colonel Shaw on horseback al
the head of a file OF colored soldiers headed
by little drummer-bov.
Over the heads OF Colonel Shaw and
his men is the figure OF a woman wav-
ing the palm branch of victory. The
memorial cost about $4,000, to which
sum State, city and individuals have
contributed. Robert Gould Shaw, in
whose memory it was erected, COM
manded the first regiment of colored
troops that went from the North during
the late war, the Fifty. fourth Massa-
chusetts Volunteers. Colonel Shaw, al
though native of Boston, first enlisted
in the Seventh New York Regiment
At the expiration of his term of service
he re-enisted as second lieutenant in the
Second Massachusetts. He was soon
made captain and a little later received
his commission as major. On May ,, 1868,

Committee was appointed and given full
power to prepare designs, select the site
and proceed with the erection OF the monu-
ment.
Designs were invited from leading arch
itects and a committee OF selection was
passed by adding TO the building commit
tee for the purpose Augustus st. Gaudens,
Richard VI. Hunt and Arthur Ratch, the
first the well-known sculptor, and the two
latter as prominent architects as the coun-
Try afforded. The design of McKim

was selected. They associated with them
selves the sculptor Mr.. Macmonies, since
we'll known through his triumphs at the
Worlds Fair. Needless TO say hat with
such an array of talent the work is a
grand artistic success, something which
unfortunately cannot be said of many of
our public monuments
Ine completed monument is a mono
llthic shaft OF pink granite from the quar-
RES near Milford, Conn, and is probably
the largest piece OF polished granite in
the world. The shaft is 46 feet nigh, ris-

figure OF fame. In her right hand she

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 31-There

Spreckels said to The CALL cores pond ent

Eyes, 1t is true Mr.. Loud has announced

oring TO persua lie him that there are other
men Who have worked harder for the
party and who need the place more than
Mr.. Daily. and who might be better quail
fed 10 fiji the position"
The probabilities are the two gentle men
will arrive at a mutual understanding and
that Mr.. Daily may be accepted by Mr..
S reckels. otherwise the appoIntee will be
some one not yet named. Mr.. Loud to-
night stated TO The CALL correspondent
that he was in favor of John D. Daily and
thought he would be appointed, although b
he was not sure of it.

HONOLULU, HAWAII. May 24-By the
last Miowera from Victoria there arrived
in this city couple who registered and
procured their tickets under the names OF
DR.. Harmon and wife. In searching their
baggage the customs officers found a tin
OF Ch nese opium nearly full. The couple
were not arrested, but allowed togo under
surveillance. The man claimed TO be a
licensed physician and to have n Ha-
waiiaa diploma as well as one from the
University OF New Y York. He made APP
plication to the Board of Health for IL
cense TO practice medicine and produced
his New York diploma. 1t was found to
be made out in the name OF Hinkei.
In answer TO questions by the Attorney
General he said his residence was in San
Francisco ana gave two addresses, one on
Gearv and the oiher on Powell street. The
records of the Board of Health showed
that he had applied rom Oakland for a
Hawaiian diploma and 1t had been re-
used, as this Government does not grant
licenses to non-residents. Asked why he
travelled under an ass sumed name he said
it was because his wife's folks would not
allow her to come solar and they had
taken tickets under different name to
fool them.
The woman who poses as his wife told a
different story. She says they mad been
boarding with lady named harman,
who had sent a messenger .1or the
tickets in her own name. The doctor
maintained that he used the opium in
making laudanum, bur ne could not foot
the doctors on the Board of Health wit
any sucn yarn. The authorities have
come to- the conclusion that they are a
couple of dope fends who are down here
on spree, and ii is understood they have
been notified to leave on the next steamer
or stand a prosecution for importing
opium. Both show external signs of being
opium fends. although the man denied it
strenuously before the board.
