JAPAN TALKS WAR
OFFICIAL PAPERS STIRRED UP OVER
HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
The Presence of the C'ruiscr PhtlH-
lelphia at Honolulu Gives Rise
to Suspicion and Hostile Conn
ment-Trouble Originating From,
the Refusal to Permit lmMt-
grants to Land.

San Francisco. May 1. - According
to a6yiccs by steamer the Japanese
government is aroused over the re-
fusal of the Hawaiian government to
permit Shinshui Maru Immigrants to
land there. and has ordered warships
to Honolulu to enforce what the Jap
anese Immigrants consider their rights.
The foreign office instructed HlegO
Kencho at Kobe on the 9th inst. to
stop the departure of immigrants for
The islands ut once. Grave complica-
lions have arisen, according to Jap
,nese official newspapers over the ac-
| ton of the United States government
II sending the Philadelphia to Homo
lulu. Japanese official organs claim
the cruiser has been sent as menace
% the Japanese government. ana they
claim it is significant in that it fore
tells the annexation Of the islands to
The United States. japanese official
papers are full of war talk. The
Chuwu states that telegram has been
received by the Japanese authorities
to the effect that England has sent an
,ntima ton to the United States gov
ernment that she objects to the in
tended annexation by the latter OF the
Hawaiian republic.
The steamer Doric. which called Mt
Honolulu April s, brings advices that
Hawaiians are making much of the
presence of the Philadelphia. The adj
vices say that it is certain Admiral
Beardslee has not come to Honolulu
clothed with executive power to exc
cute special mission for his govern
ment. Had he come to annex the is
lands or to reseat the eX-queen to her
throne, he certainly wiuld not hoist
The deck awnings, set the painters to
painting the ship, and, with the Of
ticers. accept the hospitality from
friends ashore. 1t is believed that the
admiral is awaiting fresh orders by the
next steamer from San Francisco be-
fore proceeding on his mission. Ha-
waiians believe the president is about
10 appoint minister who will come to
Honolulu and consummate annexation.
Others believe the Philadelphia was
sent at the request of Acting Minister
Mills to protect United States citizens
and property in case of trouble with
he japanese government over the re-
fusal Of President Dole to permit Jap
anese emigrants to land there.

A noble record is that of Trinity
Church of Boston. 1t is the church
over which that large-hearted, couse-
Grated man, Phillips Brooks, was rec
tor for so many years. Its present rec
tor stated a few Sabbaths since that it's
work of charity during the last twenty
years had reached in contributions an
average of one thousand dollars Sun
day for every Sunday the church had
been opened. These were voluntary
offerings for all who have needed sue
cor and the ministries of pecuniary
help, quite apart from the costly main
tenance of the services of the church
itself. It shows the great influence for
God and humanity an earnest, great
hearted preacher may have over the
people who listen to his religious teach
ings, and are ennobled by the example
of his unselfish life. It speaks, too,
more emphatically than words can de-
clare it, of the sympathy felt by men
OF wealth, and by men active and pros
porous in business, for those for whom
fortune has not shown favor, and whose
lives are under the shadows of priva-
ton.

Any American bicycle maker who
seeks information as to the best means
OF introducing his wares abroad and
particularly in Italy cannot do better
than consult a report on this subject
made to the state department by United
States Consul Johnson at Venice. The
consul says that while the Italians
make fair bicycle, the people gener-
ally prefer foreign wheels, and if the
American maker can supply three
grades, about $500, $685. and $115.S0
each, there can be no question that q
good market can be found. He adds:
"As yet, in Italy, women have not ia
ken very enthusiastically to bicycling,
but the interest taken by them in this
district is daily increasing, especially
those who aspire to position in the
fashionable world, as it seems to be
quite the proper thing and in excel
lent form for woman of a smart set
to be an expert bicyclist.'

The senate Delayed with Rcsolu-
tions.-ShOrt SeaaiOn of the House.
Washington, April 3O.-The question
OF whether business was to be done Dy
the senate this week was raised by Mr..
Pettigrew of South Dakota when the
senate met. Mr.. Pettigrew proposed
that the senate direct a conference ON
the Indian appropriation bill. MT.
Chandler Of New Hampshire, however,
gave notice that he would object to
any business being done because there
was a general understanding that none
should be taken up during the ab-
sence Of many senators in New York
to attend the ceremonies of dedicating
the Grant monument. Other senators
protested that there had been no such
agreement made. Then Mr.. Quay pre-
scented resolution calling upon the
secretary of the interior for infOrma-
ton as to whether the leases Of the
Senecas' oil lands had been made IN
the usual manner and whether there
had been any corruption. 1t was
agreed to without debate. During the
presentation of memorials Mr.. Spoon
er offered one "from several thousand
men working for wages in the lum-
Der districts of Wisconsin" asking for
the enactment of the lumber schedule
of the Dingley bill. The senate was
quite deluged with resolutions. MIR.
Vest of Missouri offered a resolution
for Il comprehensive inquiry by the
commerce committee of the senate into
| the causes of and remedies for the
Mississippi floods, and said he would
call it up at the next meeting Of the
senate. Mr.. Pettigrew followed with a
resolution calling OH the commissioner
of labor for information as to the cost
of producing 1000 feet-board measure
of white pine lumber. the answer to
include the cost of work in the woods
and in the mill, both in the United
States and Canada. This was adopted
with the addition of a question pro-
posed by Mr.. Frye Of Maine concern
ing the cost Of stumpage. A resolu-
ton was offered by Mr.. Morgan of Ala
bama, and adopted, requesting the
president, if not incompatible with the
public interests, to transmit to the sen
ate all correspondence with the con-
sui general and consuls in Cuba since
the beginning of the war, not hereto
fore published. Then. at 1882, the
senate adjourned until Monday.
The house was in session seven min
utes. The journal was not read. The
objection that there was no quorum
was interposed by Mr.. Simpson OF
Kansas, whereupon Mr.. Payne Of New
York made a motion to adjourn. J. w.
Stone of Pennsylvania. who was in the
chair, held that an adjournment under
the order of the house made last Fri
day would be until Monday next. Mr..
Simpson protested vainly that it was
unconstitutional to adjourn for more
than one day without quorum and
asked an opportunity to be heard.
But the regular ORDER was loudly
demanded and Mr.. Paynes motion was
put and carried-74 to IA, most OF the
Democrats voting with the Republic
ans.
