THE WASHINGTON Star, in an edl-
torial article on the nominees OF the re-
cent democratic primaries here, says:

THE WASHINGTON Star, In an eui-
torial article on the nominees OF the re-
cent democratic primaries here, says:
''They have it in their power to turn
q strong tide of immigration towards
the old city, to rehabilitate it and cause
it to bloom with modern progressive
ness and prosperity. For upon their
efforts will rest almost entirely the ao-
solute divorce of the city from all cor
rupting influences, the expulsion OF the
1ndesirables, the punishment OF al law
hreakers without fear or favor and tne
GENERAL moral cleansing OF the COM
munity in ouch fashion as to remove
from it the stigma which has of late
wears attached to it. This duty is one
that all good Washingtonians earnestly
hope to see conscientiously performed. "
The only changes made in the ticket
chosen at the last election are that IN
place of 2 worthy and highly respected
PRESBYTERIAN deacon, an equally worthy
and respected lifelong attendant OF
the Methodist Church has been selected
for Mayor, and that the present Corpo'
ration Attorney and two or three mem
bers of the City Council, for no fault
with the manper in which they have
performed their official duties, but SOLE
lv and entirely because they refused to
vote the democratic ticket at last falls
election, failed to be renominated. How
such insignificant changes can possibly
bring immigration and prosperity to the
oty, expel all undesirable people from
its limits, and divorce it from all cor
rupting inhuences-with Washington
SO near by-and effect a general moral
cleansing. is only what newspaper
that has been engaged in detaming this
city ever since it abandoned similar
work in respect of Alexandria coun-
ty can imagine. That the lot own
ers and real estate agents in
Washington have the good OF
Alexandria at heart may be told to the
marines. But now as ever, we have to
90 away from home to find home news.
The most ridiculous thing connected
with the article referred to, is the gen.
eral knowledge of the patent fact that
no city in the country, according to
population, can compare with Washing
ton in respect of all manner of corruP-
ton, vice and crime. But the folly OF
stone throwing by people living in
glass houses is a lesson that many
cannot learn.

The affair has been the chief subject
of conversation to-day. The fact that
it is the fourth instance within less than
a year where females have been shame

ally aroused the righteous indignation

lieye in law and order, the general
sentiment has been that the hend has

The damage to the station house will
amount to about $50. The fact that nc
one was seriously hurt save Mccoy was
fortunate. The officers at the station
house were roughly handled and some
what bruised, but they suffered no ma

The "King Killers" are becoming
rife; they are appearing everywhere,
aud no country seems to be exempt
from their deviltry. On one day, yes.
terday, attempts were made to assassi-
nate the King of Italy in Rome and the
President of Uruguay in Montevideo.
Fortunately both failed, but neither
from any lack of nerve on the part Of
the would-be assassins. The assassina-
1ion of rulers is worse crime than that
of other people, in view Gifts dangerous
consequences to the whole nation;
therefore, though such assassinations
must come, the wisest policy to be pur.
sued toward them is that of woe to the
assassins.

see settlers corresponding with the
merchants who represent Western
countries in China and Japan.
In Hawaii itself. he adds. though
there are many well-to-do Japanese,
they are all those who have made mon
ey suddenly and. rising from the
ranks of laborers, they possess neither
the manners nor aims of gentlemen.
They cannot even represent the ordi-
nary middle-class of their country.
Finally, this writer notes that there is
a constant stream just now of half
educated young men to Honolulu. and
he fears they will imbibe ideas in the
democratic society around them that
may work inimicably hereafter to the
peace and good government of Japan.
1t is stated candidly enough that these
views are the expression of personal
opinions only, but their author claims
for them the consideration of those
whose one object it appears to be to en-
courage emigration and colonization
without any Interior effects.

fishes the following item in regard to
the intentions of the Japanese Govern
ment:
1t is alleged that the action of the
Hawaiian administration in preventing
the landing of Japanese immigrants is
regarded by the Japanese Government
as a violation of the treaty. Negotia-
tons will therefore be opened for the
purpose of asserting Japan's rights. In
structions have been conveyed TO Con-
sui General Shimamura requiring him
to forward an accurate report by the
goth of this month, and on receipt of
that information, Japan's demands
will be presented to the Hawaiian au-
thorities. Two men-of-war will be dis
patched. One is the Hiyei, which had
already been got ready for a voyage,
and the other will be chosen from
among the Chin-yen, the Matsushima,
the Fuse, the Naniwa and the Suma.

KOBE, April 10.-The emigrants who
had been sent back from Hawaii, all
landed in Kobe on the 9th, and were
on the point of visiting Toxic in a
body to appeal to the authorities, when
they were advised by certain persons
and reversed their decision by electing
few men as their representatives for
approaching the authorities in Toxic.
The ground of the Hawaiian Govern
ment for refusing permission to land
Japanese emigrants was that the i'm
migration of the contract laborers had
not been previously sanctioned by the
Government, while the free laborers
did not carry the regulation cash of
$50 But the Hawaiian Governments
Investigations in this connection were
very unfair and irrational; for even
those who had the regulation cash of
$50 in their possession were regarded
that they had been given the sum by
their parents or other relations or that
they had amassed so much by their
own diligence Investigations made by
the Japanese authorities show that
there was not a single person among
the emigrants who did not carry the
regulation cash.
While the emigrants were detained
at the quarantine station in Honolulu,
they were given a very small quantity
10;
were, therefore, very much exhausted,
and woman among them was driven
crazy.
At the instance of Count Okuma, the
navy has decided to dispatch a war
ship, not two as previously rumored,
to Hawaii, with the view to pacifying
Japanese residents on the one hand
and demonstrating Japan's determine

The Government policy toward Ha-
wall is said to be as follows: The Gov
eminent does not in the least intend to
modest such small country as Ha-
wall. What Japan should do is TO Sc
verely rebuke the Republic for having
infringed the treaty existing between
the two countries by its illegal actions
to prove the justifiable nature of the
actions of the Japanese in Hawaii, and
to demonstrate to the world Japan
unselfshness towards Hawaii, so as to
obtain the support of the worlds pub
lie opinion in our favor.
Mr.. Shimamura, representing Japan
in Hawaii. has been instructed by
Count Okuma to negotiate with the
Hawaiian Government. His report is
expected after the Goth inst. Suisse
quent steps to be taken depend upon
his report.
Count Okuma having instructed Mr..
Hoshi, Japanese Minister to Washing
ton, to ascertain the United States
Government intentions towards Ha-
waii and to see whether that Govern
ment really ought to annex Hawaii or
not, the latter is now negotiating with
the United States Government.
Mr.. Hoshi has collected the views of
scholars and statesmen, as we'll as the
opinions of the press. in connection
with the question of the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States, and pre-
scented them to the Foreign Office. In
adding his own views to them, he says
that annexation issnot feasible.
