More Chinese.

1t is understood today that two
citizen firemen on the steamer Nil
hau, OF the Inter Island feet. are to
be discharged to make room for
Chinese. This action, it is reported,
was decided on last week aud would
have been put into effect then but
for the storm aroused by the dis
charge OF so many citizens from the
Mauna Loa. 1t is learned also that
when the Mikahals goes out on her
next trip she will have all Chinese
firemen, oilers and coal pausers. The
natural presumption is that citizens
will gradually be replaced on all the
Inter Island boats,
Captain Simsrson, who is obliged
to find excuses for the uu-American
course of j A Kennedy, says that
the reason Chinese were substituted
for citizens on the Mauna Loa was
that the latter we're not to be de.

is a different and new story, but f,
like all others that have CONS from

untrue. The truth OF the matter is
that on single occasion in the past
several months one man failed to
report promptly for duty, he having
been arrested on petty charge and
being in Jail.
