Like Other Sages.


With knowledge most amazing
He was learned in cycling lore.
He had studied up the subject
For full fifteen years or more.
He could tell drop forged racket,
And each relative part rank;
Knew a flush joint from sprocl1et,
And n sproclxet from crank.
He could talk on balls and braces,
Marrow treads, fork crowns and gear;
Could discuss spokes, cones and bearings
And the proper way to steer;
Was well versed on chain adjustments;
Could advise you as to frames;
Knew the bicycle clean backward
And each parts outlandish names.
He could argue apparatus
Till your head would fairly swim.
He could tell you about hangers
And the proper style of rim.
He was learned respecting clampings;
Could tell any grade OF steel
He knew everything worth knowing,
But he couldn't ride wheel.

JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS.
THEY CAUSE SERIOUS TROUBLE
IN HAW All.
A Local Company Attempts to Bring
Men Into the Islands Without
Proper Authority.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-Ad-
vices this morning from Honolulu per
steamer Rio de Janeiro, March I'D,
state that the Hawaiian Government
has been having serious trouble with
Japanese immigrants. The japanese
tramp steamer Shinshui Maru arrived
here on the 9th ult., with 600 japanese
laborerS. The Custom House people
found that 535 We're not entitled to
land
w. J. Gallagher and a Japanese mem
Der of the local immigration company,
We're arrested for violating the immi-
grafton laws, and are now awaiting
trial.
On the 10th inst. the immigrants
were brought before the Supreme
Court on a writ Of habeas corpus. The
court decided the decision of the Collec-
tor of Customs was final, which meant
the japanese must return to their ma
tive country Another examination
was made and finally 252 men were
allowed a. landing; the balance, 413,
We're placed on board the steamer,
which had been detained in port by
reason of the Governments refusal to
grant the captain clearance papers. The

The incident created much excitement
in the Japanese colony. They thought
their countrymen were being discrimi-
mated against, and at a mass meeting
adopted a resolution calling on their
Government to investigate the case.
The japanese Consul here has sent a
request to Toxic for war vessel. He
also advised the captain of the Shinshui
Maru to return the rejected immigrants
to Japan, promising that the company
shall be reimbursed if this country has
violated the treaty.
On the 10Th the steamer Sakura Maru
arrived from Yokohama. Out of her 316
immigrants but 153 will be allowed to
land. The others must be returned to
Japan, at the expense of the steamer
The whole trouble has been caused
by the local immigration company, who
have attempted to bring men in with
out proper authority. The law says
that an immigrant must possess a labor
contract or $50 in coin. The rejected
Japs had neither. The japanese say
they intend to cause trouble for this
Government. They seem to think that
their Consul has more authority than
the Hawaiian Government.
Their latest infraction of the law is
