Newspaper men had to- face
libel suits as early as the close of
the Eighteenth century. William
Cobbett, one of the most vigorous
of English WRITER'S had come to
America and was located at this
time in Philadelphia. He devoted
his entire paper to praises OF Great
Britain and scorn of the United
States, and in a short time was
taken up for libels on American
statesmen and bound in recogniz-
.ances. A third libel suit, within
a very brief time resulted in a fine
of S.. 900. At this juncture. Cob
bett decided that America, was Toe
warm for him: and sailed for Eng
land. al = &. - i;,i.As

The Nome Trade.
Special Government Agent Evans has
ascertained that the opposition to the
scheme of making Cape Nome a sub
port of entry is very strong. Yesterday
ne received a list OF vessels flying the
American flag. engaged in the Cape
Nome trade and the Alaskan trade gen.
orally that represented millions OF dol
lars invested in the United States.
Coupled with this list was a strong pro-
test. A summary shows that there are
107 American vessels that will be en-
gagged during the coming season. OF
these the majority are steamers, so far
as this port is concerned; but the pro-
ponderance of sailing vessels elsewhere
makes the footings thus:
Total number of American vessels
engaged in the Alaskan trade from
Pacific Coast ports. 1O7; steamers, AS;
sail vessels, 80. From this port the fol-
lowing steamers are TO 90 this year TO
Cape Nome: st. Paul, Portland, Rain
Ter. Zealandia, Valencia. Thrasher.
JEANNE, San Pedro, Luella. John $.
Kimball, Albion, Aloha. Sequoia, Noyo.
South Portland. Elihu Thompson, Aber-
deem, Alexander, Morning Star, Sena-
tor. Willamette. The sailing vessels
from San Francisco for Cape Nome are
twenty-one in number Two steamers
and two sailing vessels will go from
this port to Kadiak and Unalaska.
Seattle has nineteen steamers and thir-
ty-fve sailing vessels going to Nome.
In addition TO the testimony taken at
this Office Agent Evans has sent out n
circular letter to shipping men to which
they are returning answers. The ship
ping houses i'm this city engaged in the
Cape Nome trade are the following:
Alaska Commercial Company; Alaska

SMALL NEWS OF

A Letter From Spreckelsville Tells
Of Improvements at Many
Places.

SPRECKELSVILLE, Maui, April %.
Mr.. w. S. Dole is leaving here to take
up a position as civil engineer at the
Waialua plantation, Oahu.
The regular service OF trains on the
Kahului Railroad again commenced to
run this morning and everybody and
his wife were glad-especially the wife.
The long interval OF inaction forced
by the plague visitation has not only
been a severe loss to the Railroad COM
pany; but a serious inconvenience to
the public at large.
Considerable Improvements to the
wharf accommodation at kihei are con-
templated. If soundings prove the feas-
Utility of the scheme, it seems likely
that Kihei will be the first port outside
of Honolulu at which deep water yes
sells will be able to load and unload
directly at the wharf Near Nahiku on
this island considerable work is be-
ing done on the roads by contractors.
The labor is mostly made up of run
away contact men from the planta-
tons. Now these improvements are
being made out of taxes of which the
sugar planters pay at least nine-tenths
either directly or indirectly. Thus we
have the strange spectacle of the plan
tiers allowing themselves to be robbed
of the labor, for which they have paid
large sums of money in passages from
Japan. by the men who are spending
the planters taxes. or course while
prosperous times last they can perhaps
afford to wink at these things; but il
seems remarkable that their organiza-
ton is not strong enough to prevent

should leave it off, because when one sins

curious anecdotes about MIN and his suite during
his stay there 1t is said that while constranlng

whenever eating away from Europeans or official
dignitaries preferred to employ his fingers in deal
ing with meats and salads. Another story told of
him is that he caused his Persian servants to be
fogged almost daily for the least offence and once
even ordered who had upset candlestick on
the table burning the Shah's hand slightly, to be
decapitated. French advisers had great trouble in
making the Eastern ruler understand that he must
