HAWAII AND JAPAN.

Government at Honolulu Undfs-
mayed by the Presence of the Naniyga.
VANCOUVER, B. c., July 1, 1Ss7.-The
steamship Empress of China has arrived
from the Orient. Among the passengers
is Judge Mowat of Shanghai, who pre-
sided at the trial of Mrs. Carews, who
is now en- route to England on a holi-
day trip.
The Empress brings the following adj
vlces:-The Fir remarks, in reference
to the difficulty with Hawaii, that the
government at Honolulu is somewhat
saucy and not the least intimidated by
the presence of the warship Naniwa in
their waters. They believe that Japan
will not dare adopt so extreme a meas
ure as to go to war with so small a
country, being ashamed to do so. 1t is
this that causes Hawaii to show such a
bold front. 1t is a pity that this should
be so, for if Hawaii goes too far we
shall certainly be compelled to chastise
her.
japanese laborers who were refused adj
mittance into Hawaii and who were to
be sent to Brazil, have declined to go
there. Over twenty arrests have Just
been made in Seoul, Korea, in conse-

to assassinate several prominent per-
sons.
japanese papers alleged that the Rus
star party was at the bottom of the
plot and that they are now taking adj
vantage of it's discovery to induce the
King to return to the Russian Legation.
Prof. Tanakadate. who occupies the
Chair Of Physics and Seismology in the
Imperial Japanese University, is said to
have invented an earthquake alarm
which will be exhibited at the Paris Ex-
position in 1900.
The Japanese government has imposed
new taxes on leaf tobacco in order to
meet the increasing demand upon the
treasury since the war.
Fresh efforts are being made to have
the murderers of the Queen of Korea
punished, a petition having been present.

The West River was opened to foreign
trade June 4, without any friction with
the Chinese.
The rebellion on the Philippine Islands
is not yet over. A few days. ago an at
tack was made by the rebels upon the
house Of the Colonial Secretary of the
Philippines, which is situated IN the
centre of the town of Manila. Fortu-
nately for him, he was absent at dfn-
ner party, otherwise he would have been
killed. His servants were locked up by
the rebel visitors and the house carefully
searched. No damage was done and none
of the property was stolen.

[By Cable to The Associated Press.l
CALCUTTA, July /, 1S97.-Serious riots

Hindoos passively sympathize with the
rioters.
The situation this morning is still grave.
An additional force of calvary was re-
quired to disperse the rioters, but the
mobs quickly gathered together again.

of the Imperial and Provincial officials,

There are parts o. Turkey where the peo-
