It is pleasant .to note that some degree of concord lias been arrived at between the business community, represented by the Chamber of Com merce, and the. Government, upon the currency matter. It is announced that silver will be taken at the Cus tom House and all Government offices, in payment of all public dues. This will undoubtedly relieve the congestion of silver, as besides the quantity, in small sums, that will be paid in as duties, fees, etc., some planting firms will j'icld up large amounts in the settlement of labor accounts with the Government. To-day the Government will be re presented at the regular meeting of the Chamber, by mutual agreement, and the amicable interchange of views likely to take place may be expected to have further useful re sults. The Chamber is to be com mended for its patient and, for the present at least, successful efforts to tide over the crisis that threatened to bring heavy loss on the silver to holders of it. Before going fo press, we learn that the resolution for some time be fore the Chamber that its' members should onty regard silver at its bul lion value, 84 cents or so was with drawn in view of the Government's action mentioned above. No,reprc hentativc of the Government, was present. Probably the" illness of the Premier and the Court duties of tho Attorney - General have interfered with the conference. EDITORIAL NOTES. A prompt l eply to the Canadian astronomer on the lurid skies is given by the Rev. H. E. Bishop, whose former learned writings upon the subject have led opinion hero. It is in type, but crowded out to day. We like to seo a public official take pride in his woik. Our postmaster-general, Mr, .Whitney, is of that kind. Ho has presented tho press and public tho Department's New Year's compliments, in an artis tically lithographed card, containing a clear picturo of the Palace and two marine views. Our stationeis should take the hint and get series of Hawaiian Christmas and New Year cards for next beasou. Mr. Whitney designed this one himself. He has also issued a Jhrge card of suggestions IX) the publlo regarding dealings with tho post ollleC) which, hccdctl, will prevent much vexation on both sides. CAPT. TIERNEY FOUND GUILTY. Tho trial of Capt. Tierney, for false imprisonment of South Sea Islanders, was concluded yesterday afternoon. Mr. Millet, stewatd of the brig Hazard, on board which the imprisonment took place, sundry sailors and a fcllow-Islnndcr of the unlawfully detained men, had testi fied that the Hazard ian down a canoe, and its crew forcibly detained on board three, of the rescued occu pants. Capt. Tierney was tho only witness in his own defence, testify ing that he had done all he could to icturn tho men, giving them the option of landing at Jaluit, the fit st safe landing place. Mr. Hartwcll urged the jury to place credence upon the defendant's lone evidence, saying it was evident ins story was true and that he had meant no wrong to anyone on the Hazard. For the Crown, the Attorney-General said there was something wrong apparent in the captain having none of his officers there io testify in his behalf. Tho Crown had been lenient in re ducing the charge from kidnapping, which was felony, to false imprison ment, only a misdemeanor. The Chief Justice charged the jury that tho Court had settled the issue raised of jurisdiction, and all they had to decide was whether a native canoe had been upset by one of the Ha zard's boats and the occupants taken on board that vessel, tied, and there unlawfully detained. The jury went out at live, and in fifteen minutes returned with nvcrdict of guilty. At noon to-day, Capt. Tierney was brought up to receive' sentence. The Attorncj'-Gcncral asked the Court to take a lenient view of the case, and that a" lino be imposed. The Chief Justice hoped this would be the last case of its kind before him. He would fine him S200. Capt. Tierney remarked that nothing could persuade him to go on such business again. TRIAL OF BRIDGES. UKFORi: CHIEF JUSTICK JUDD. The Supreme Court opened this morning at 10.05 o'clock, when a large audience of spectators had assembled. Sentence in the case of Capt. Tierney, for false imprison ment, was postponed until recess. The case of Hiram Alfred Bridges, for manslaughter of Leonard R. Patten, was, proceeded with. The prisoner occupied a scat by the side of his, counsel. After considerable questioning and challenging by Mr. Castle, the prisoner's counsel, the following 'jury was finally selected: Messrs. W. Lishman, A. Bolster, N. F. Burgess, J. L. Bushec, L. C. Abies, J. W. Hinglcy, E. S. Cunha, W. II. Baird, W. Clark. J. F. Carpenter, T. J. King, and C. J. McCarthy. The Chief Justice administered the oath to thcrn. Mr. Whiting, on behalf of the Crown, then opened the case, stating the particulars of the tragedy of Nov. 12lh. " . Dr. ivobt. McKibbin,,bworn, stated ho had practised medicine twenty eight years. I was going up street the day the affair occurred, and went in to Benson, Smith & Co.'s store, where I saw Patten lying dead. I was ordercd-.to make a post mortem examination, which I did the follow ing morning with, Dr. Emerson. I found three external wounds, one of which caused death. A bullet was found in the body. Witness described the wounds, as at the in quest. Dr. N. B. Emerson, sworn, stated. I' assisted the last witness in a 2ost mortem examination on the body of L. If. Patten. His evidence corro borated that of Dr. McKibbin. Deputy Marshal Dayton, sworn, stated, the bullet which he had iu his hand came from tho body of L. U. Patten. It has been in mv possession until now. Tho bullet was handed round for the inspection of the Jury. James F. Noble, Mvorn, stated: I knew Patten and Bridges. I was on tho opposite side of the road when the shooting took place. 1 saw Patten with his left hand on Biidgcs' shoulder, nnd in his right hand he had a stick, bridges slipped away from him aiid drew a pistol from his hip pocket and fired at Patten. I ran across and assisted the Jnttcr and carried him into Benson, Smith & Co.'s stove, where ho soon expired. Cross-examined : My attention was first attracted by tho two talk ing, seemingly in auger. I did not sec Patten strike a blow with tho stick. They were facing each other when the shots were fired. Patten looked dazed. It occurred nbout ten minutes after five o'clock. Officer Marcos, sworn, stated, I nin a police officer. I lccoguize the pistol produced. Tho first time I saw it was in a building in the rear of Mr. Horn's st,oro on Hotel street. I found it on tho top of a barrel. Mr. Horn's son showed me where It was. I identity this hat pro duced ; It was handed mo by a young man in the Ten Cent Store, and the piece of stick produced was given inc by Mr. Avery. Deputy Dayton, re-called, pro duced the clothes worn by Patten at the time he was shot. (They were inspected very closely by the jury.) I found no weapon in the clothes. The contents of the deceased's pockets were then shown to the jury. At this point, a recess of one hour was taken. AFTEKNOOX. . After recess, Mr. J. Williams, the photographer, was put on the stand and after being sworn stated, lie knew Patten and Bridges. He noticed the two wrangling and heard two shots. Patten had a white stick in his hand. His Ex. W. M. Gibson was next sworn, his evidence being substan tially that given by him at the in quest. Mr. F. II. Hayscldon, who was with Mr. Gibson, at the time the tragedy took place, stntcd, I saw the struggle, and Patten directly aftcr waids stagger and fall, while Bridges ran up. the street. About fifteen minutes afterwards I saw Bridges under arrest at Horn's store. ISLAND NEWS. An unusually severe and pro longed shock of earthquake was felt here this morning just before six o'clock.

Chinese laundrymen brought by James Ilcrvey to Belleville, New York, under contract with the Six Companies of San Francisco, have set up on their own account and more have coinc. They have an unwritten law that uo new,, laundry shall be started within a certain dis tance of one already established. The rates for laundry work remain the same as before the Chinese came.
