The above cablegram was received
yesterday by Governor Frear from Ha-
wall is Delegate to congress, telling of
the progress that has been made in the
effort TO free Hawaii from the onerous
restrictions of the coastwise shipping
laws which are doing so much in the
way OF holding back the development
of this Territory and costing it SO many
thousands of dollars in the loss of tour
ist trade.
Governor Frear stated yesterday that
the chief opposition that might be ex-
pected to the bill will probably come
from the California delegation to con
gress that is opposing Hawaii 5 inter
ests. The same delegation opposed the
measure at the last session of con
gress, but it passed the house in spite
of them and was only killed by vaciIIa-
ton in Hawaii
The California delegation, of course,
is acting in the interest Of the steam
ship companies and marine engineers,
who are afraid that they may lose
something if Hawaii gets the legisa-
ton that will advance her own inter
ests But the California delegation was
unsuccessful last session in blocking the
measure. and Governor Frear expresses
the believe that it may be equally I'M
successful this session. The main fight,
Of course, win come on the floor of the

An Explosion on Steamer Out
From London for the
United States.
ONLY ONE MAN KILLED
Women and Children Trampled in
Panic and Finally All Aboard
Are Rescued.

DOVER, April S.-Terrible scenes of
panic occurred on board the British
steamer Cairnrona, following an explo-
sion of her boilers, shortly after she
left London for America.
When the vessel was one day out
from London. bound for Portland,
Maine, an explosion occurred in her
coal bunkers, by which one man was
killed and seventy were injured.
Fire broke out after the explosion,
and fearful panic followed Men
fought for possession of the boats.
Women and children We're tEampled
down III a wild rush for the lifeboats,
and scores were injured i'll the crush
of those seeking safety.
During the panic, two steamers hove
in view and they saved all on board
the Cairnrona The fire was extinguish
ed and the steamer saved, and no lives
were lost except that of the man killed
by the explosion.
There were some painful scenes after
the saving of the passengers and crews
of the injured vessels. The disgraceful
panic on board during the time Of
danger created after scenes not to be
forgotten by those who were on board.
Women and children had been pushed
about and run down in the wild rush
for safety, and the shame of the panic
was felt deeply when all were saved.
An investigation will be held to fix
the responsibility for the lack of dlsclp-
line aboard the Cairnrona.

Federal and other investigation as TO
the source of scurrilous and obscene
anti Roman Catholic cards being dili-
gently distributed about town, by mail
and otherwise. has led to suspicious
that the cards were printed here, and
some Of the street religious agitators
commonly referred to as Holy Roll
ers,'' may find themselves in trouble a
a result of the inquiry.
The card being distributed is regard
ed by all who have seen it "a scurrilous,
obscene and dlsgraceful to its authors
from every possible point Of view. It
is learned that copies of it have not
only Deen sent through the mails, but
have been showed through the Catholic
school gates and walls and young girls
in the school have picked them up ami
taken them to their teachers, asking
what they mean.
The list of paTtle, receiving the out

pec-ed that the cards were printed IN
Honolulu, and already there IS consld-
cradle evidence as 70 their authorship.
The only basis of a criminal prosecu-

Governor Frear. Messrs. Ivers and

The fact that the Russian commits

members Of the board of immigration
and few others, who will probably
do what they can to explain the status
of the Russian immigration middle to
him, leaving the Russians themselves
to supply the fancy details. What the
outcome will be is problematical.
Il is not known as vet whether the
Russian commissioner is a regular Of
cial of the Russian government or
someone especially commissioned at
Hardin to come to Hawai- to look into
matters. Some time ago there was a
letter Of complaint, charging misrep-
resentation on the part of the Hawaii
an agents, forwarded to the Russian
consul at Yokohama, a copy of whic Ii
appeared in The Advertiser, translated
from Hardin publication. The Io-
kohama consul reported the complaints
to his government. who had the official
warnings published in the Hardin pa
pers and in the official gazettes. The
fact that these publications had been
scattered broadcast throughout the
country in the neighborhoOd of Hardin
was also reported TO the people of Ha-
wali through The Advertiser, A. Perel-
strous writing this paper from Hardin
and relating the difficulty experienced
in overcoming the official objection to
any further recruiting of labor at tina
place.
Later, after the Russians began te
