JAPAN AND HAWAII.
Relations Between Countries Growing
More Strained.

San Francisco, June 6.-The steamer
Coptice arrived this evening from Homo
lulu bringing advices up to May 81. Ac-
cording to the latest information pro-
curable the difficulty between Japan and
Hawaii, growing out of the immigration
in the island had been increased rather
than diminished by the diplomatic pro-
ceedings. Officers on board of the Japan
ese cruiser now at Honolulu state that
a second Japanese man-of-war is now en-
route to Honolulu, and that third YES
sci is about to depart from Yokohama.
Mrs Shimamura, wife of the japanese
minister here, has arranged to leave for
Japan on June 5. The intended departure
caused a ru1nor in Honolulu to the effect
that the minister would soon follow her
He admitted that he was not satisfied
with the answer of the Hawaiian govern
ment in regard to the immigrant con-
troversy and he gave close friends to un-
derstand that unless reply satisfactory
to him was made he would depart for
Tokio thereby severing diplomatic rela-
tions between Japan and Hawaii.

BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
A Young Hackman Instantly Killed In a
Row.

Greenwich, Conn, June 6.-Edward
Long, aged eighteen, hack driver, died
at his home here this morning from a
bullet wound in the head received in a
melee last night. Long was unconscious
when found and expired without being
able to give any information as to the
cause of the shooting. A man thought to
belong in Stamford, and a woman about
town are supposed to be the principals in
the affair but as their identity is not
known no arrests have been made.
The affair occurred in the vicinity of the
freight yards near Belle Haven docks,
where some hackmen met the unknown
man with two women. It is thought the
entire party was under the influence of
liquor A free fight was precipitated,
which was continued between Long and
the unknown man after the others of the
party had gone. A passer by about three
O'Clock this morning found Long leaning
over fence and on investigation dis
covered that he had been shot. Deputy
Sheriff Fitzroy was notified and had Long
taken home, where he died about six
o'clock. A woman's hat found near the
scene of the murder, has furnished clue
which it is believed will result in the
Identification of the principals.
About six weeks ago Long was rescued
from drowning by E. G. Benedict, who
discovered the latter on an upturned boat
in the sound, and when he was taken
aboard the Oneida he was utterly ex-
hausted.

passing forged check. When searched
at the station large number of checks
on Washington and Alexandria banks
were found in his possession, also letter
supposed to have been written by his
wife, Mrs. Kate S. Dodge of New York

in New York. Sergeant Smith made the
arrest, and believed the man to be an all
round crook, as he answers the description
given on several postal cards received at
police headquarters for men who are
wanted for crooked work. The prisoner is
about fifty years of age.

MR.. MANLEY ON BUSINESS.
Says Prosperity Is Coming But 1t viii
Take Time to Get Here.

Boston, June 5.-Hon. Joseph II. Man
ley arri we'd here today from Washington,
en- route to Augusta, Me. In an inter-
view, he expressed the opinion that the
Senate was getting along remarkably
fast with the tariff, the possible COM
plants of some people who want things
done in a minute to the contrary, not
withstanding. Said he: "You cannot
expect results too soon. The country has
been so filed with imports that business
cannot be affected as perhaps it might be
wished. But the American people dis
count the future to remarkable degree
and already there is better feeling. The
people are beginning to see the shape
things are taking and will soon adjust
their business. OF course the tariff has
got to be settled before there will be much
movement in business. And it must be
a gradual change after all. +"

The Porter a Fast Traveller.

New York, June 6.-The United States
torpedo boat Porter, came out of the dry
dock yesterday afternoon with new paint
on her steel bottom which had been swept
bare within three weeks by friction OF
water occasioned by her remarkable speed.
Her final trial is understood to have been
fixed for Tuesday June and today the
Porter dropped around to Communipaw
to take in coal preparatory thereto. In
cidentally, to ascertain if all else were in
proper form, Lieutenant j. G. Fremont
in command, took her down around Scot
land lightship and back again. The
stretch from the battery to Scotland light
ship is twenty one miles; the round trip
is forty-two miles and the time in which
the Porter travelled this distance was one
hour and fifty minutes. And she did it
easily, for at no time was more than two
hundred pounds of steam pressure de-
veloped and that for only short time.
