A few minutes before s o'clock,
Mr.. Shiozawa, chairman of the meet
ing stepped on the stage and was
received with considerable applause.
After bowling his Acknowledgements,
Mr.. Shiozawa said:
I wish to say TO you, my fri nds,
that you were called together for the
purpose of expressing yourselves up
on the action of the Government re-

Mr.. Takino, a Japanese minister of
the Gospel, who was located in Cali

Gently been living in Japan advanced
to the stage and was introduced by
Mr. Shiozawa. After taking a copi-
Gus draught of something from a
pitcher the gentleman saidi
L came here with the passengers
on the Shishiu Maru and was landed
at Quarantine. To you who have
friends there, | wish to say-they
are all right. During the investiga-
ton by corpulent gentleman and
one who wore whiskers on the side
of his face we were, treated with the
greatest cordiality. Each passenger
was questioned regarding his money
and had plenty of time to answer
these were put down by a clerk. We
had plenty to eat and the food is
good. l came here to preach the gos-
pei to Christian japanese and l am
interested in you all With that in
terest in my heart l wish to advise
you to wait until the case is decided
before expressing your opinion"
The next gentleman to volunteer his
services was one whose business in
terests were evidently affected by the
difficulty. His patriotism did not seem
to have been touched in any way. He
was recognized directly he stepped
alongside the center table and received
a generous applause from a number OF
people in the audience. The man is a
hotel keeper. and it was suggested by
Interpreter Doyle that the claquers
were boarders in arrears. But this was
not confirmed Before the hotel man
opened his mouth to speak, he gave
the impression, by his attitude, that
he was there to speak a piece even il
it landed him in Jail He spoke his
little piece and was then landed on the
stairs leading to the street. He said, in
part, before he was landed:
tonight to tell you my troubles. l keeI
large and elegant hotel in this city
and have among my guests retired
japanese laborers who stop IN Homo
lulu ong root to their native heathS
and heathers. 1t happened that about
90 of these tourists came to my hote
and stopped, intending to leave anon BY
the Shinshiu-Maru, because thai
steamer would take them to JapaT
cheaper than the China Things were
progressing finely, and mine was {
happy household where boarders were
taken in. AS the time for the sailing
of the Shinshiu-M aru arrived and she
seemed not to be able to go, consterna
ton arose, and my boarders became
restless, and finally decided to go by
the China They departed. and as the
fare on that steamer was higher thar
on the Shinshiu- Maru. not one was
able to liquidate in full. l find that
am out on board bills and extras some
thing like II yen on the lot, and l lay
the cause of my trouble to you, sil
pointing to Shiozawa), and to thai
man there"
