LABOR UNIONS kNJoINED.
Chinese Merchants Secure an Order
Restraining BoycOtters.

Helena, Mont, April 17-Judge Kno wles,
OF the United States District Court, granted
temporary restraining order in a suit
brought by the Chinese against the Off
GERS of fourteen labor unions to restrain
them from continuing the boycott now
being enforced against the Chinese. There
are four plaintiffs, who appeal for the
rights of 300 of their rfellow-countrymen.
The plaintiffs d o business in Butte as deal
ers in Chinese merchandise, ana conduct a
restaurant. The boycott has been effect
i've in Butte for some time, and lately the
unions have been distributing circulars,
carrying tTansparencies and stationing
men before the doors of the plaintiffs to
warn prospective customers that they enter
at their peril. The bill of complaint says
that the unions hired spies and have fol-
lowed the Chinese to the homes OF their
customers, that they might by force of arms
compel the latter to desist from their pat
ronage. The plaintiffs claim that their
pecuniary damage has been 500 900, and
that to recover it in an ordinary court of
law would be impossible.

CLOSED BY CREDITORS.
Receivers for Big Massachusetts
Mil Corporations Asked For.

New Bedford, Mass, April 1T.-At a
meeting Of the creditors of the Bennett and
Columbian Mill corporations yesterday, it
was discovered that 81 400 900 in notes
of the two concerns had been issued, of
which no account has appeared in the re
turns submitted to the State by the cor
porations. Upon learning this and that
more than 500 900 had been charged to
the account of the plant, when it should
have appeared as profit and loss, thereby
showing a surplus instead of a deficit, it
was voted TO place both corporations in the
hands of five receivers, and to petition
the companies into bankruptcy, if such
course is deemed wise.
Mr.. Parker, the expert, states that there
had clearly been a Misrepresentation to the
State, the debts having been scaled down,
the machinery likewise scaled down, and
the statement of liabilities of each mill
showing an excess of assets. The expert
also explained that S4OO 600 had been dis
bursed in dividends which ought never to
have been paid.

JAPAN's EYES ON HAWAII
The Ex-Queen Said to Favor
Oriental Annexation.
A PLEBISCITE is ASKED FOR
Queen Lii to Be Cared for I'm the
Event of Protectorate-Prec
dent Governing the Mikado's Pos
sible Action-Native Islanders Fa-
yorable to Oriental Domination.

The startling suggestion is made that
ex-Queen Liluokalani, OF Hawaii. in her
efforts to secure plebiscite of the peopIe
of the islands on the question OF the restora-
tlon OF the monarchy, really favors jap
anese annexation, or. at least, a japanese
protectorate. or course, the Hawatians
and japanese together vastly outnumber
all other Inhabitants Of the republic. and
if they are TO act together there is uo reason
to doubt that 10 will be possible for tben
to dominate the island.
Ihe establishment of protectoTate by
the Mlkado might or might not be accom-
panied ny restoration OF the old royal
authority OF Lilluokalani. But there would
be no doubt that the Japanese government
would he appreciated by the native island
ers, and that everything would be done
TO solace the ex-queen for her loss OF the
royal dignity.
1t is said that the suggestion has reach
ed Liliuokalani's advisers from uersons
near to the japanese legation that even if
1t were not advisable to maintain the Ha-
waiian kingdom as japanese protectora te.
NAC LIO Nhpp might De fOI-
lowed. The King Of the Loo Chon Islands
was formerly vassal OF the Emperor of
Japan, but at the time Of the establish
ment OF parliament he was given n
hereditary seat in the japanese upper
house aud his family permanently pro-
vided for out Of the imperial budget.
The reported alliance between the Jans
and the Kanakas would provide first for
a vote OF all the people of the islands on
the question OF restoring the royal gov
crnment, accepting the protection of the
Mikado, or direct annexation 10 Japan
There can be no doubt whatever of the
result OF an appeal TO the popular vote
OF all Hawaii, If the nfluence of the ex-
queen and her native advisers is thrown
for any of the above propositions.

Ellis ii. Mills at Honolulu, lately received
