FEARS HINDU, INVASION.

Hindus are coming in hundreds to
Vancouver 1t IS said that at least 1000
are on the way from Hongkong and
that they will be followed by still more.
The Empress of China, which left for
Vancouver lately, is bringing $50. The
Tartar is on her way over with prob
ably four times that number.
An attempt will be made by the city
officials to keep out as many as pos
sible of the immigrants. The last
steamer brought 100. The police guard
ed them on the wharf for several days,
but it was then announced that the
new arrivals had secured jobs up coun-
try and would not be freed in Vancou-
yer to become beggars, as many OF
their fellows now are. This was, how
ever, ruse, for the Hindus got off
the train just outside the limits of the
city and all marched in again under
cover of darkness.
Just how the city will welcome the
small army that is now on the way is
matter of eculation.-Seattle, P.-I.

| CHAMBER OF COMMERCE., HILO.
In support of this memorial Mr. Gar
vie presented the following resolution,
which was seconded by Mr.. Peck:
! Whereas, The question of construct
ing a breakwater at Hilo, Island of
Hawaii, is now under consideration,
and is shortly to be brought to the at
/ tention of the executive and legislative
authorities at Washington, with view
to securing a Federal appropriation for
such purpose; be it
merce of Honolulu, That we are fully
of the opinion that the physical condi-
| lions of Hilo and, the present and
/ prospective trade and possible develop
ment of the Island of Hawaii amply
warrant the expenditure necessary to
construct a breakwater to protect Hilo
/ harbor fom the ocean swell
/ That we are of the opinion that the
creation of a safe, smooth harbor at
Hilo will have stimulating effect
| upon the commerce of that port and
the development of the Island Of Ha-
wall
That we f1rmly believe that it is in
| the national interest that a second port
of refuge and supply be established in
the North Pacific, Hopolulu now being
the only such point
And. be it further Resolved, That the
! proper officers of this Chamber be and
| they are hereby authorized and direct
ed to sign the memoial from the Hilo
Board of Trade and the Hilo Chamber
of Commerce presented at this meet
ing; and that a copy of this resolution
be sent to the Congress Rnal Delegate
from this Territory, with a request that
he use his best endeavors to secure said
| appropriation.
The resolution carried unanimously.
