and serious problem-hard to be solved.
A more serious one confronts US now
in the Japanese Shall we allow it TO
increase until it has become beyond
control? Let me warn the people of
the Pacific states that the corporate
influences in congress will not permit
Of any legislation by that body an
tagonistic to their interests, and for
that reason will not pass a law by
which the Japanese can be excluded.
Is President MisIed?
1t is plainly evident that our presi-
dent is being led to believe that the
Japanese are a good, peaceable, moral
class of people and are desirable as d
race.
Let our president come to California
after his term expires and he will very
soon change his mind as to the desira-

Governor Gillett is not, as our
president is, almost unacquainted with

Janitors and have driven them out of
business; they have driven the whites

doing all in their power OF secure con.
troll of that great industry by which
1t was made possible for the old
forty-niners" to create and maintain
this most beautiful and prolific sun
kissed state of ours. l. for one, whose
relatives and friends were among the
pioneers who crossed the plains in
early days, and as a mining man my
self, shall never submit to such ac-
tlons by our governor or any other
person, and [ believe l voice the senti-
ments Of all mining men on this coast.
IL is time for US to act if we wish to
protect our great mining industry.
In order to prove that the intentions
OF Japan always have been to colonize
our country and divide the islands of
the Pacific with Great Britain, l now

my arrival in Honolulu 1 received a let

acquainted with the British minister
at Honolulu, minister resident for

by his government for the purpose OF

revenue cutter COrwine arrived with
sealed orders to our minister. which

quest Of our minister and he informed
me that the queen had granted amnesty

to restore her. / asked him for ten
hours delay, which he granted, and
