nixation-The Outlook Bright.

The Richmond Riding and Driving Gun

Hotel last night, with u very large at
tendance OF members.
The report had been widely dissemi-
mated. after the passage OF tho Maupin
bill that this organization would cease
20 exist, but last nights meeting demon
strated In a very emphatic manner that
IL is I'm a particularly iiourishing condi-
ton one result or these reports WAS
that the spring meeting did not take
place last year. as horsemen All over inc
country had been led TO believe that tho
association was defunct, and the list OF
entities did not warrant the holding Of y
meeting. An effort will be made 10 bold
meeting this year. and the financial con-
ditlcn OF the association is such that soma
very handsome purses may be offered.
No definite action was taken In the mat
ter. but a majority OF the members were
in favor OF holding the meeting.
Mr.. George Med. Blake was unani-
mously reelected president Of the assoc
citation. and Mr. w. G.. Bryan was chosen
first yice-president, and Mr.. @. Il. Hob
son second vice-president. MIR. Il. a. >.

THE STEAMER DAUNTLEss.
Though She Is in Custody, Her
Owner Applies for CIenrancy.

Though She Is in Custody, Her
Owner Applies for CIearancy.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. January T.
Although the steam-tug Dauntless is in
the custody of an officer Of the revenue
cutter Boutwell,, as a result Of her last
trip. from which she returned Monday
night. her owner. W. a. Bisbee, this
morning applied for clearing-papers for
the steamer, 10 so to Nuevitas, Cuba,
with q cargo Of arms and ammunition.
W. A. Bisbee, George K. Foster, and
Captain w. Myers called at the custom
house and made formal application for
the clearance of the vessel Deputy-Col-
lector O. Hopkins who is in charge of
the Office during the absence of Collector
Bisbee. refused to grant the clearance
until authorized 10 do so by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. At the request of
the owner. he telegraphed the Secretary
for permission TO clear the vessel Sec
rotary Carlisle replied, ordering the Col
lector to refuse clearance until further
orders.
The officers Of the Dauntless still deny
that they have been TO Cuba. All that
can be gotten from them is that they
transferred the men and cargo taken
from NO-Name Key to another vessel
presumably the Bermuda.
Nothing has yet been done towards
libelling the Dauntless for violating the
navigation laws by going into foreign
waters without clearing, or for violating
the neutrality laws. 1t is probable that
a libel of information will be filed in dag
two.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-06-21
THOSE JAPANESE CLAIMS
SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES ARE
SUGGESTED.
Judge Hartwell Writes Upon the Pres
ent Position of the Question and
Puts Matters in a Clear Light.

Editor Star: I do not know precisely
what the claim of the Japanse Govern
ment is concerning the sending back
of Japanese immigrants.
If Japan claims that the Alien Pas
senger Act of Hawaii, which requires
immigrants to have $50 each in their
bona fide possession, is an infraction
of the japanese treaty, it must be on
the theory that the treaty excludes
police regulation on the subject of i'm
migration, and. unlike the United
system, is paramount over Legislative
enactments. This involves nice ques-
tions of constitutional as well as OF
general law.
IF, on the other hand, the claim is
that the Alien Passenger Act was un-
fairly administered, in that the Col
lector of Customs did not give fair
hearing to the cases, then a question
of fact arises, which ought easily to
be ascertained and adjusted.
Again, if Japan claims that its labor
convention with Hawaii is not applic-
able to all laborers coming here from
Japan, but only to such as professedly
come under the terms of the conven-
ton, a nice question of international
law, as applied to the construction of
treaties, may arise.
But whatever the position assumed,
it ought to be susceptible of amicable
adjustment, for each party must look
to conclusion based on legal reasons
such as would commend themselves to
competent and impartial judges.
