THE ATTORNEY GENERALS.

Governor Frear loses a first class
Attorney General through the deci-
sion of Mr. Peters to retire and gains
a man who should make a most salts
factory official, by the selection of
Mr.. Hemenway to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Peters has handled the legal
department of the Territory in a
manner that has merited the con-
fidence and praise of his superior and
the people. He has looked after the
interests of his clientele Territory
of Hawaii-with loyalty and ability.
Mr.. Hemenway, the incoming Off
Gial, has been successful in his prac-
tice and although this is his first ex-
perience as prosecuting officer his
reputation is such as to enable him
to start his work under most favor
able circumstances and the kindly
feeling of the people AS one of Gov
ernor Carter's legal advisers during
the sessions of the Legislature Mr..
Hemenway has had special opportun-
ity to keep in touch with the spirit
as well as the letter of recent laws

onel Sam Parker and Wilder.
Il am glad and pleased to say tina
the Manchuria is making much bette
time than she used TO- said Captain
Saunders. Her engines are doing
splendid work and everything is in ex
cellent condition"
The Manchuria brought large list
of passengers for this port. Many OF
them are Island people who have beer
on the mainland on business anC
pleasure trips. Among the arrivals
was A. Gartley of the Hawaiian Elec'
trio Co., who went away in the inter
est of his company. Colonel G. W
Iiegler also returned in the Manchuria
and reported prosperous conditions in
San Francisco. e. ID. Tenney of Castle
& Cooke, accompanied by Mrs. Tenney
and family, also returned from the
mainland. Miss L. Lloyd. stenographer
of the Road Department, arrived in
best Of health. She was surrounded by
her friends at the wharf. Mr.. Y. Sui
ten of New York branch of the Yoko-
hama Specia bank comes to become an
assistant manager of the local specie
bank. He was met at the wharf by
Mr.. Akai.
Besides $50 tons Of general cargo OF
freight for the Orient the Manchuria
is taking back to the land of chrysan-
themum 113 deported Japanese from
San Francisco. Out OF this number
are five women. They were all dis
covered by the immigration officials at
the Mexican border The majority OF
them having resided in Texas and Ari-
IONA and firing of the heat and the
small pay which they were getting, de-
cided to enter the United States; but
unexpected and contrary to their
dreams they found that Uncle Sam
was too quick Tor them. On eXamina-
ton before the bcard OF inquiry they
admitted that they violated the immi-
grafton laws and accepted their de-
Hackfeld wharf they attracted good
deal of attention. Although they said
nothing, they were apparently anxious
to get into conversation with the shore
Japanese who gathered around. The
deported japanese were very I'M
tidy in their dress and hence the at
traction. Besides the Japanese there
are five Russians and five Chinese on
the deported list
The Manchuria will sail for tho
Orient tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock, taking about twenty-eight
people from this port.
DR.. de. Barrows, the Minister IT
Education in the Philippines, arrived
in the Manchuria, as was expected. He
is going back to his post accompanied
by his wife and family. He came
ashore immediately after the Man
churia dNcked.

passage of this Act to hamper or re-
strict this free interchange of our
commerce. The American drummer,
the wonder of the business world,
finds it most irritable to stop off
with his samples in Hawaii, expect
| ing to catch steamer which he sees
scheduled to leave in few days, and
/ then learns that he can only travel
on that vessel by the payment of a
fine of $4,000. He cables his prin-
cipal that his expenses go on and his
| time is lost.
If during the eight years that this
law has been applied to Hawaii the
Passenger service from these Islands
to the mainland has been bettered or
increased because Of this protection,
you would not find philosophical
men in Hawaii opposing it. SO far
as | am aware. there has not been a
murmur raised by the sugar planters
against the restriction to American
bottoms, though 1t costs them $780,
600 year-a tax practically of
$500 per capita of our population.
Our people do not ask an exemption
for freight, but we do maintain COM
nonsense dictates that ordinary
Judgment be used in the application
of our national laws.
| presume those who have money
invested in American ships will feel
that they are acting rightly and hui
namely when, by insisting on its APP
plication, they subject the local
naval authorities to keep one of
their sailors here for three weeks in
a dying condition, after his physi-
clan has stated that the only way to
save his life was to send him to the
Coast. The application of the naval
authorities for an exception had
been denied and no transport or 9TH
er American bottom would touch
here for that length Of time, although
there have been two or more oppor-
tunities for placing him on an Eng
fish vessel and thus saving his lie
perhaps.
No community regrets more than
this the action of Congress in failing
to provide a subsidy, which would
probably have maintained the Spreck-
els Brothers steamers in service. But
in view of the fact that they have
been obliged to take their steamers
eff, and the reputed statements of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
officials that the passenger traffic
from Honolulu is matter of utter
Indifference to them and plays no
part in their calculations, as well as
ether considerations, is not this Ter
ritory justified in demanding of the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
that he use the discretion which
Congress has given him, and remit
all fines until such time as in his
Judgment the service of American
steamers calling at this port war
rants the application of the law in
it's full rigor.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) G. R. CARTER,
Governor.

HANDSOME PRESNT
70 The GOVERNOR

Governor Carter was this morning
presented with handsome souvenir
III the shape of silver punchbowl by
his official family as a farewell on his
retiring from Office.
The punchbowl is very finely en-
graved and bears on 1t the words
Farewell to Governor Carter from
His Official Family" In addition to
this, there are the names of all the
heads of departments and of the Ter
ritorial Secretary. each being an exact
reproduction of the signature of the
man whom it represents. On one side
of the bowl is the coat of arms of the
Territory. The engraving is extreme
~ well done. 1t was executed at
Wickman's jewelry store and is only
just completed. The bowl was taken
to the Governors house this morning
by all the donors and formally pre-
scented to him.

There is no doubt that the captain

they might be accused of having read

in Japanese.
The public is justified in withhold

search is made for the island and the
land found, or the ship sails over

LAYSAN ISLAND.

Either the skipper of the schoon-
er Luka was lost or Laysan island has
sunk beneath the sea. The story
which Capt. Oleson brings to town
is either seven days wonder or a
remarkably good yarn of the sea.
The Bullet n is very doubtful
that Laysan island and its small COM
pany of guano diggers have been en-
quilted, although we are not prepared
to question Captain blossoms ability
as a navigator. The chances of his
error are greater than the chance of
