ception by the workingmen OF Homo
lulu Last evening in the largo hall of

big place was filled by native and
white mechanics aud scores more
stood at the rear of the hall. The
formal part Of the reception was en-
tered upon about 1880 and had con-
tinuance until after 10, when infor-
NAL discussion and Interchange OF

The evenings program abouuded in

The principal event OF the evening
was tho address Of Mr.. Rosen burg,
in whose honor tho reception was
given. Ia running speech of per.
hAps an hours duration he reviswed
labor conditions on the maitland, in
the Philippines aud in the far East,
and contrasted those conditions
with the local situation. In an in
tsrestDg and accurate manner the
speaker summed up conditions on
the Hawaiian plantations, as he had
formed them, and also detailed to
his audience the facts OF the compe-
tition OF Asiatios ia the trades. He
urged united front against the
coolie in all mechanical pursuits,
and pointed out that reliable plan
tation negroes could be- obtained 10
supplant the Japanese in the cane
fields. He told where and how they
could be obtained, and also showed
that on account of their superior
working qualities, they would prove
g far more profitable class to the
planters than Asiatics.
The address was listened to with
intense interest. Applause was fire.,

The Democratic Party Decides to
Make Contest for Supervisors.
y A meeting of the Democratic Gen.
trail Committee was held last night
at Waverley hall, the attendance
being large, either in person or by
proxy. designations from E B Nc
Clanahan and Charles Creighton
were received, read aud accepted.
Yics-Chairman Turrill, who pre-
sided, on being requested, stated the
object for which the meeting was
called, that is, whether the party
will take an active part in the com
lug county elections or not. An ex-
pression of opinion wac asked from
all those present, the concensus Of
which was that the Democratic
party should go into the contest
with regard only to putting liz a
ticket in the fald for supervisors. 1t
was shown that the Home Rulers
had shown disposition to concede
a certain proportion OF supervisors
to tho Democrats, aud IL was also
further shown that there was pos
siblity Of chance to elect one or
more, but the nominations must be
mqdo by Democrats and to be en-
dorsed by Home Rulers later.
The fual outcome was the decision
OF confniug their efforts solely to
the supervisors. Col MCCARTHY is
likely to hs one OF the candidates
for the Fourth o Carter Jr, has
been mentioned as one, but it id
understood that he will not consent.
For the purpose OF rStifying the
committees action, it was also de-
cided to call Democratic mass
meeting for Monday evening, at 1880
O'Clock, at Waverley hall, aud If the
accommodation of the committee
is acceptable, then nominations foi
supervisors will be in order.
| Vacancies 10 the committee, three
in number, bavs been laid over tc
some future Tina. So was also wi III
the election of e chairman. The
