business men and others connected
with the imperial diplomatic service,
who are proceeding, to the Orient as
cabin passengers in the Pacific Mail
liner Siberia, experienced consider
able difficulty in gaining shore lib
erty at Honolulu today, following a
drastic ruling from Washington, now
enforced by the Federal authorities at
this port, which prevents the free &C
cess of Chinese from ship to shore.
Pacific Mail officials have added
duties heaped upon them in that the
men who don the white and gold lace
must take uuusuaI precautions, on ar
rival at the; Chinese ports, against
the importation Of firearms.

Heretofore a limited number of Chi
nese belonging to the engineers and
stewards departments were issued
passes which permitted them to land
at Honolulu during the brief stay Of
the vessel at this port An order
from Collector of Customs Stackable
caused the immigration officials to
decline to issue further passes unless
at the request of the Pacific Mail Of
fieers. The result OF the new order
OF things has caused many prominent
Chinese toaenter protest at the en-
forced detention on shipboard. How
ever, orders are orders in Pacific Mail
circles, and despite mutterings OF dis
content, the 0rientals now placed IN
der the ban are forcibly detained from
participation in the mad delights to
be found at the Hawaiian capital. 49,
