While our private advices from
Washington in reference to the Chi
nese permits are not by any means
definite, they intimate that the
Attorney General Of the United
States will decide that the Newland's
Resolution was not intended to have
retroactive effect, and that orders
will be issued TO release the Chinese
now detained in quarantine. and to
permit the landing of all Chinese
who hold permits which would have
been recognized as valid by the Ha-
waiian Government had it main
tanned its independent sovereignty.
We venture to think that this opin-
ion is entertained by our Govern
ment officials.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-21

We understand that the Hawai-
ian branch Of our government, has,
having from past unpleasant exper-
fences, accepted bond from re-
putable local firm for all the expen-
ses incurred in connection with the
Chinese in quarantine. We have
not been too ipquisitive in our en-
quires, and accordingly only make a
rough estimate of these expenses at,
say, $500 a week. The bill on this
amount alone may reach $4,000 and
one can readily see that, If the Chin
ese side win their case, there will be
the basis of claim for damages
against our government, or that of
the United States, and another
100000 will go out of taxpay ers'
pocket for the rare privilege of cor.
rectly constituting kuotly point OF
law which with due carefulness on
the part of Congress should never
have been allowed to arise.

These are made on the prin-
ciple of the famous French
catetieres. Inside of the coffee
pots is an adjustable cylinder
which can be raised or lower
ed and maintained in position
at will. Having affixed your
straining cloth and raised the
cylinder to the point you re-
quire, insert the ground coffee
into it and pour on your boil
ing water. Let it rest for five
minutes or so and the result
will be a perfect cup of
coffee, delightfully."- fresh, frag-

The postman in our district, now, for ex-
ample. There is, he says, snug little
house just round the corner where a
young girl answers his ring A year ago
last summer when he rang one morning
an elderly woman opened the door, Next
day and irregularly twice or thrice week
for the next two months letters came to
the young girls mother addressed in 4
aprawling, girlish hand and postmarked
with the name Of Pennsylvania noun
tain resort.
Then one morning the young girl her
self opened the door again and looked dis
appointed when an advertising circular
was all she received. The next morning,
however, she dimpled and blushed when
she saw her own name on an envelope
which bore on one corner the name of .
business firm. There were two stamps,
and the postmark was Pittsburg Every
day after that similar letter came, and
at Christmas there was small box that
came registered. At Easter there was
another box, and on Q day in May-her
birthday perhaps-another. All this time
the letters came every day.
In July two days passed without lst-
ter. Then the same writing appeared on
an envelope with the name Of an Atlantic
City hotel on 1t. Tho girl went away to
the springs again in August. Two At
lsntic City letters arrived during her SIX
weeks absence. One came with the Pitts
burg postmark the day after she returned.
Then for month no letter came. She
opened the door eagerly every time the
postmsn rang, and sometimes her lip
quivered little when there was no letter
for her. The Pittsburg postmark on let
ter came them thin letter.
And just the day before Thanksgiving
the postman handed her thick, creamy,
large envelope addressed In strange
hand. The postmsrk was Pittsburg. 1t
looked like wedding cards. Perhaps 1t
was. The postman couldn' u read what the
envelope contained Of course, but he
thought he read something in the girls
face. He's an imaginative fellow, our
postman, and it seemed cruel to him that
the large envelope with the wedding cards
should come just the day before Thanks
giving. Washington Post.

The Fate Of Poor FidO.

"Madam," said the conductor as he
punched the ticket Of a Titusville lady, II
am very sorry, but you can't have your
dog In this car. It's against the rules
IT shall hold him in my lap all the
way" she replied, land he will not dis
turb any one."
THAT makes no difference, said the
conductor. II couldn't allow my own dog
here. Dogs must ride in the baggage car.
I'll fasten him all right for you'-
Don't you touch my dog, sirI' ex-
claimed the young woman excitedly. II
will trust him to no one" And with in
dignant tread she marched 10 the baggage
car, tied her dog and returned. As the
train was approaching Mayville and the
conductor came along she asked him.
"Will you tell me II my dog is all right"
II am very sorry said the conductor
politely "but you tied him to trunk
and he was thrown off with it ut Cory. "

Some Little Articles That Make Q
Large Showing In Commerce.
One would think that almost any coun-
try could raise all the eggs its people con-
sumo. Some Of the largest countries,
however, import an enormous number Of
eggs. 1t takes about billion and half
of eggs every year to supply the demand
in Great Britain and Ireland besides all
the eggs that are produced there. Forty
per cent Of the eggs consumed in the Unit.
ed Kingdom are brought from 20 foreign
lands, including several Of the British col
onies
Germany comes next to Great Britain AZ
the largest consumer Of eggs in Europe.
Her imports are little over billion and
half year, and she is Obliged to pay
5000, 900 to 90, 900, 900 year for the
eggs she buys from other countries. The
reason why Germany does not produce
enough eggs for her own consumption Is
that the dampness of the country causes
large mortality among chickens, and, be-
sides, large districts are occupied by ex-
tensive estates, where the peasantry live
in villages, which prevents them from
keeping large number of hens.
Japan is now using a great many eggs,
though few are produced in the country.
AS they are very much cheaper In China,
the eggs Japan uses are almost all import
ell from that country.
Russia Ia the largest exporter of eggs
The number sent from that country in
1895 was 1,475, 900, 600, of which $50, OO0,-
600 were shipped to the United Kingdom.
