Chinese who have such licenses
There are now held in Honolulu
forty-six men who will be released
under this decision, which will be
sent from here in time to reach the
islands by the Peking, sailing next
week.
There are, however, two more
questions which are still in the air
and upon which Alexander Robert
SOD, who has heen here as attorney
for the Chinese, expects to have a
decision soon. These are the admis-
sion of female relatives OF residents
and of 'travellers," as the Chinese
are termed who have come to the
islands Tor term of not more than
six months on business, and who un-
der the old laws had to give bonds
of $500 for their departure at the
end Of that time. Taking all the
questions into consideration, there
are 4S2 Chinese who are to be affect
ed by the rulings. There seems to
be delief that the entire problem
will be solved to the satisfaction of
the Chinese. OF the entire number
there are very few who would be
cassed as laborers.

pair we're joined in wedlock in two
different districts of the town.
At the residence of Abraham Fer
nandez the marriage of his daughter
Madeline, to Robert Parker, Jr.,
took place at 7:3O o'clock in the
presence of friends, aud Elder Peter
Kealakaihonua officiated. The cere-
mony was followed by reception,
an exquisite supper, and dance,
and eventually the young couple
retired to their new home near the
Kamehameha Schools.
On the plains, at the same time,
another pair was coupled when Jas.

formed partnership into which the
young people entered with their
matrimony stocks being far above

The wedding took place at the
residence of the uncle of the bride.

A Dangerous Suggestion.

In the last issue of the Sunday
Volcano appears a paragraph-very
funny, perhaps which invites some
body to put fire to the shanties in
the Chinese and Japanese quarters
OF the town to give the fremen a
little exercise, and give another
chance for modern" Honolulu. The
suggestion may be very funny to the
readers of the Sunday paper, but 1
hardly thiuk that any encourage
ment should be given in print to
arson and incendiarism. If the Asia.
tic quarters were burned down the
sufferers would be the Chinese and
Japanese occupying them, very few
being able to carry any insurance on
their stores or household goods.
The insurance companies would also
suffer as we'll as the owners of the
"shanties." We don't want repe-

The Hospital Flower Society is in

work done. The Society has in it's
treasury $2250. Could that money
not be invested better by using it
in feeding the starving Hawaiians
and "haoles" and furnishing bread in
stead of flowers. A fair share of the
fund should be spent in the interest
OF the Hawaiian Relief Society. Let

We are amused at the howlings
OF our contemporaries, Prior to an
nexation they stopped to every de-
gree of measures aud misrepresent-
alton to aid the cause Of annexation,
and now that they have obtained it
they are not satisfied. They endeav-
or to bully Congress and the Presi-
dent, as if they we're the rulers and
not the picayunish suppliants they
are, to give them what they want
and not what the American people
choose to give them. They must be

orally allotted to those who get the
