Miss Wilder in Ianan.

Miss Helen Wilder did not return
from the Orient yesterday morning,
much to the disappointment of her
many friends. In letter to a friend
she states that she will not be back
until July 10Th, on the China. Miss
Wilder writes very entertainingly of
her trip through China and Japan.
Following are a few extracts:
This is May 18th and our party
has just returned to Yokohama from
Canton, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Ma
Gao. At the last place I called on Mr..
Along, who has grand mansion and
lives like a prince.
"Went through the prison at Can
ton and saw great many coolies
chained TO the floor. Took a trip
through the execution grounds, where,
just the day before, the heads of 10
men had been cut off. The knife was
still stained with the blood of its vic
tins.
Mrs. Fairchild and Miss Beesley
have Joined our party. Mrs. Spalding
and Mr.. Otis Spalding leave us today"

LUNA RELIEVED.

Satisfactory Shape.

Affairs at Lihue Assume More
Satisfactory Shape.
As a result of a report made by
Wray Taylor on the labor affairs at
Lihua plantation, William Zoller, head
luna at that place, has been relieved.
The treatment of the laborers at Lihue
had been the talk of the entire popu-
lation of Kauai for months. One trou-
bic followed another until it culmin-
ated in the killing of a Chinaman by
one of the under lunas.
Commercial Agent Goo Kim took the
matter up on behalf of the Chinese,
and, as Hong Kong, the port from
which the men shipped is an English
settlement, H. B. MS Commissioner
A. G. S. Halves also made inquiry OF
this Government as to the condition
of affairs. At meeting of the Board
of immigration, held some time ago
it was decided to send Mr. Taylor, the
secretary, to Kauai to investigate His
report has not been made public, but
it is understood that it was of a ma
ture that warranted the action of the
plantation manager, which has fol-
lowed.
From the passengers who arrived
from Lihue on Sunday it is learned
that the conditions at the plantation
are much more satisfactory than they
have been, the Chinese and japanese
laborers going about their work with
better grace than at any time in years

YOKOHAMA, May 12.-From one of
the emigrants who went to Hawaii by
the Kinai Maru, but was sent back
from there by the Hawaiian authorit-
les, the Tokyo Asahi has ELECTED the
following: The emigrants, $50 in num-

the vessel dropping anchor they were
all put into quarantine, each man being
examined separately. On the 18th OF
the month 1873 men were let go while
the others were still detained Then
on the 18th, they were told to leave the
quarantine station. At this they were
in high spirits, but on going to the
gates, found that they were to be sent
back TO the ship:
They not unnaturally got somewhat
excited and created some disturbance

had $50 in gold in his pocket and there
was no sickness amongst them. But

A SUGGESTION.
Well Known Lady Wants Boats
for Makee Island.

A well-known lady of the city called
in at this office yesterday and suggest
ed the following proposition: That
boats of some probably gondol-
iers-be run on the chain of small
lakes surrounding and in the vicinity
of Makee Island during the progress of
the band concerts on Sunday after
noon. She was very enthusiastic over
the matter, saying that it would be a
perfect boon to the children to be able
to glide along in a pretty boat under
the bushes and around the many turns
whilst listening all the while to the
music from the band, She contrasted
this with the. present condition of af-
fairs where the children are forced to
remain in cramped-up position of af-
rfages or run about in the dirt or
among the algaroba thorns on the
grass. The band concerts are for the
public, designed to afford a pleasur-
able and quiet afternoon. Any aces
sories that could add to this pleasure
should be hailed by the public as an
added benefit.

NO PERPLEXTTY.

Japan Man Does Not Wonder Al
Alarm Over Immigration.
The treatment accorded to the jap
anese emigrants who went to Hawaii
in the Kinai Maru is severely criticised
by the Hochi Shimbun. We have al
ready described the facts in these col
umns, and as the Hochi merely reca-
pitulates them with some addenda of
indignation, we need not follow its
comments. But its perplexfty as to the
motive of the Hawaiian administration
surprises us. Why should there be any
DerpleXity? Is it not quite plain that
the Hawaifans are frightened? They
have $4,000 Japanese in their islands at
present, and they see several other
thousands getting ready to cross over.
To be swamped by Japanese is the
prospect that presents itself to them.
We cannot wonder that they are
alarmed, or that, as is usually the
case with perturbed people, they re-
sorted to laundering devices. and are
now trying to find an exit from their
dilemma by laundering routes. Amer
lea and Australia have both considered
it necessary to legislate against the
unchecked Eruption of Asiatic labor
ers, but neither America or Australia
was ever faced by such a problem as
now confronts Hawaii

In this case. when all the ends of the
story had been covered and all the
facts had been carefully garnered, the
reporters met to make their contribu-
tons to the common stock. Ore, how

He had agreed to ascertain the insur-

he had departed on this errand he had
obtained a good general idea of the
story of the fire, and he soon came to be
suspected of a purpose-"scoring n
beat" on the other papers by keeping
the informa ton to himself.
The waiting reporters, however. deter
mined that they. not Mr.. H, would
have the beat" The war was UNEQUAL.
Mr.. H was simply one man with a few
facts as his weapon. Against him were
half dozen men with fairly active and
trained imaginations.
They determined to make the feature
of the whole story heroic rescue of an
infirm woman from one of the burning
buildings. One Butch Miller, a boy of
nineteen or twenty, who lived in the
neighborhood. had been of great assist
anee to the reporters by furnishing in
formation regarding the fire. Butch
was made hero on the spot. He took
the transformation of his character and
a couple OF glasses of beer with equal
ease and GOODNESS. Mrs. Gallagher was
the old woman calamity saved by

her. and in general did those things the

sat in the mayors chair. Cyncism is Il
hard thing to reckon with. 1t is likely to

stories of Butch Miller's bravery, was
moved to think that New York could not
af1ord to forget such a hero in a day. He
sent for the redoubtable Butch" himself.
Butch was a youth of courage enough
to have made the rescue even though he
did not, and he presented himself before
the mayor without the least abashment.
