Reports from the quarantine
station state that the last lot OF
Japanese immigrants is the most
disreputable batch that has ever
been landed here. 1t was not SO
very long ago that the wife OF Il
Japanese official remarked that
she was surprised to find that the
Japanese in Hawaii gave so little
attention To cleanliness of their
person and about their homes.
Travellers have remarked upon the
same discrepancy between the
Japanese of Hawaii and Japan.
We trust that Hawaii is not to
become the dumping ground for
lower-cIass Japanese.

Ex-senator John j. Ingalls, was
always in hot water during his
career as politician. Now that
he has entered the field of new
journalism and included a report
of Il prize fight in his repertoire,
he is catching it from all sides.
Editors far and wide gave him a
dig for allowing himself TO be
present at the fight, and now
someone has resurrected a speech,
made six years ago, in which he
denounced prize fights and every
thing connected with them in
most scathing terms. Ex-senator
Ingalls, is a good specimen of q
man who has soured on the world
in general. He could stick to prin-
cipIe so long as he was on the
high wave of political success and
no longer. Immediately he saw
that he was losing his grip on

any. went by the board, and his
efforts in the last few years have

would keep him before the public.

Some of the New York leg
islators, who do not appreciate
the newspaper cartoons in
which their personality is dealt
with prOmiscuOusly, have been
attempting to get back at
the newspapers by passing
new laws. The Ellsworth bill
recently introduced, fOrbids pub
fishing the portrait of any
man or woman living in the State
without his or her consent. Vic
latiOn of this proposed law is to
be Il misdemeanor punishable by
q. fine of $1,000 or Imprisonment
for not less than one year. 1t is
needless to say the Ellsworth bill
will never become Il law. Some
of the sOlons of New York seem
to be of the Kansasinine charac-
ter. The New York newspapers
are already making it so hot for
the anti-cartoOn legislators that
they are ready to cry quits and
let the papers draw as many pie
lures as suits the managing ed
itOr'S fancy.

FIND THE GUILTY ONES.

But for the strict quarantine
regulations OF this port. the last
act in the Japanese immigration
drama would have been tragedy.
There may be some difference of
opinion in the community regard
ing the Governments treatment
of the Japanese question. but
when il comes to- the protection of
public health the people of Homo
lulu are of one mind. Now the
people want To know the inside
history of the departure of the
Kinai Maru from Japan and the
nineteen days voyage To this
country. And the people have a
right 10 demand it.
1t is stated that the passengers
of the Kinai Maru were subject
eel To fourteen days quarantine
previous to their departure. On
the voyage over one man died
''feII down the hatchway''- and
now after having fulfilled Il
twenty-four days quarantine.
three cases of small pOX are re
ported. According to the state
ment of the steamship officers
there were no evidences of the
disease during the entire period.
Yet medical authorities tell us
that the period of incubation for
small pOx is fourteen days. AS
an extra precautiOn our health
authorities make eighteen days
the quarantine period. Now the
Kinai Maru comes to this port
with n clean bill of health and a
report from the officers of no sick
ness during the voyage. The un-
suspecting public naturally
enough is mystified; the author
ities are somewhat batfled and
the only sensible conclusion is,
that there's something rotten in
Denmark.
We will not believe that the
Government of Japan is party to
any scheme To avoid our quaran-
tine laws. Japan knows what
il is To fight epidemics. and
the steamship and Japanese
health officers are the people To
whom this Government must look
for an explanation and the inves-
tioatiOn should be made at both
ends of the line. Officers who
forget 20 tell the port physician
of death on board during the
voyage. make themselves liable
TO very serious charges. 1t Is the
duty of this Government to in
augurate court of inquiry and
make an example of any official
or officials To whose neglect the
outbreak of small pOX among the
immigrants, now in quarantine,
must be directly traceable. If
this country is to be, the victim
of whatever monkeyshines the
citizens of Japan may wish to
perpetrate. it is time we found it
out.

4 Ghost Story From India,

Madras, India, July 10.-The best
ghost story that has come to light in
years has just reached here from
Ooty, small town in the presidency
of Madras, and it is of such a charac-
ter that it has been deemed worthy of
discussion by some members of the
London Society of Psychical Research.
The authenticity of the happenings are
vouched for by numerous persons who
actually observed them, and, to clinch
the matter, two of the spectators have
made their statements in the form of
afiidavits. These latter are DR.. James
L. Kelly, the surgeon in charge of st.
Bartholomew hospital, Madras, and
Captain W. H. Burchell, retired sea
captain. living in the town of Ootaca-
mund.
The victim of the ghost was a native
young lady, the daughter of wealthy
merchant. According to her native
friends, she was possessed with devils,
but some English people attributed
the strange happenings about her to
the ghostly supernatural.
1t seems that, with a friend who
was about to be married, the young
lady paid a casual visit one evening
to the Roman Catholic cemetery in

struck by stones. This happened sew
eral times, and in portions of the
house which could not be reached by
stones thrown from the outside. Later
on this same night, when the stones
began to fly again. "a large piece of
granite, after passing through a pane
of glass, fell at the girls feet while
she was on her way to her bedroom.
This seemed to unnerve her, and while
lying on her cot she fell into deep
swoon.
The chief constable, who was sum-
moned, found her breathless, speech
less and stiff. A physician, who was
also called, succeeded in restoring her,
after much trouble, but she fell into
another faint soon after. She was
again restored, but tainted again, and
this happened several times during the
night. 1t was noticed that while she
was in a, swoon not glass was broken
in the house, but that as soon as she
was restored, the smashing began
again.
The next morning she seemed to
have recovered, and was sitting in a
chair, conversing with several visitors,
when she again swooned. Then she
became restless and five men could
barely hold ner in the chair. Once
she succeeded in throwing all five to

were curious happenings in the home

breaking articles of furniture, but in
juring- none of the inmates.
A police station is located near the
house, and the matter was reported
there, as it was first presumed to be
the work of mischievous persons. A
dozen constables and a number of I'M
official watchers were accordingly de-
tailed to surround the house and de-
tect, if possible, the throwers of the
stones.
This precaution had no effect what
ever. Each night the stones crashed
against the windows, splintering them
to tiny pieces. The girl who was sup
posed to be possessed Of devils seemed
IN her normal health except for the
natural nervousness of living in a
house subject to such queer attacks
But it was noticed that in whatever
room she happened to be, theswindows
of that apartment suffered more than
any of the others.
What increased the mystery was
that on the third night great panes of
glass were splintered without being
