ing these vessels the Revenue Cutie
Manning which was maneuvering il
the channel while en- route to aid tn
schooner. got squarely across the bow
of the liner. There were hurried order
on both vessels and a blast of whist
signals. Finally the little revenue cut
ter swung off PARALLEL with the Dori
and the threatened danger was averted
! The Doric sails at u noon today.
OLYMPIA rs AFTER JAPs.
An American steamer, the Olympia
whose only purpose in coming to the
| islands is to deprive them of as many
! cane-field laborers as possible, arrived
in port yesterday morning from Port
Los Angeles, California, and locked a.
| the Sorenson wharf.
Captain Truebridge says he expects
| to get a full load of steerage passen-
! gers, ana possibly some cabin passen-
gers. He brought about 500 tons of
| forage shipped from Seattle.
| The last previous visit of the Olym-
| pia was a memorable one. The YES
| SCI brought a big cargo of coal from
| the Sound, and came here with the in
tention of taking away field laborers.
II seemed rather odd to the captain at
the time that no one here would buy
his coal. That trip OF the Olympia lost
money to the hackers.
The vessel is fitted up to carry Gil
steerage and twenty-five cabin passen-
gers. The vessel brought ten passen-
gers from Southern California.
The japanese hotel men, several of
whom have taken out licenses as emf
grafton agents, have been falling over
each other to secure recruits for the
steamer, as passengers for the Ceast.
One or two have already got into the
courts for alleged violations of the law
regarding emigration. x. Haga was
discharged in the police court yester-
day, his counsel, Judge Gear, raising
a constitutional question as to Ine
validity of the law under which Haga
had been arrested. The law referred
to the number of people a hotel may
house at one time, and is, in fact,
Board of Health regulation.
Mr.. Haga has also got the japanese
Vice Consul into trouble. He presented
a petition to that official on Saturday,
in which he stated that when he enter
ed into the business of securing emf
grants to be shipped out on the Olym-
pia, he knew he would have to contend
against legitimate opposition. He al
ieges also, that other opposition is far
from legitimate and says that he has
been threatened if he persists. j.
says the police have interfered with
his rights. etc. Then a japanese news
paper in commenting on the presen-
tation of the petition says that the
Consul agreed to protect the aforesaid
agent.
Now the Consul comes forward ana
states that the comment of the Japa-
neSe paper may be read III two ways:
First. that as an officer of the Japa-
nese government he is bound to pro-
tect the rights of the subjects under
his care: second, the use of the word
protection may mean sometnin VIZ. i
ii used in the sense as generally ap-
piled to the police means quite another
thing. and if the comment means the
latter he intends to investigate the
whole matter.
Mr.. NTatsubara. the Vice Consul ana
Acting Consul, says that on presenta-
ton of the petition. he stated that. IS
the migration and exodus of Japanese
from mere to the mainland
the policy of the Japanese
government, he could not protect or
aid those who are promoting the ex-
odus Mr.. Matsubara states that this
intended migration violates Japanese
law, and he will not protect or coun-
tenance course which is not in ac-
cord with the policy of his govern
ment.
