there would be no further np
proval of applications for extra
dapauese. Uy 'extra' l mean all
those over and abovo tho numbor
necessary to make up the proper
proportion of Asiatic laborers.
"You hoo from this that the
9,310 is the oud of Jnpancso im
migration, aB it has beon going on.
Tho plantations nre all furnished
with their full quotas, aud it will
bo somo little tirao boforo mora
are wanted to ranko up for loss
through various causes."
Mr. Dole's statements gn to
show that the present applications,
approved yesterday, call for just
9,310 Japauoso over and abovo
tho number requisito to makrt up
tho proportion Bpiken of above.
In fact, Mr. Dole stated this morn
iug that he believed tho planta
tions wero ovou now carrying
moro laborers than tho proportion
calls for.

Contain Walker was mot by his
sons aud Mr. Rowell and kept
awav as much as possible from
everybody else. The captain look
ed worried, but beyond that show
ed no effects of his lato exciting
experiences.
Ho spoke of the good work of
his offieors and the bad work of
tho crow "We had as tough a
crowd as you cau well imagine,"
said he, "thev stole my gold
watch from mv cabin, to say
nothing of mv valuable aneroid
and baromotor."
It snemB that tho mon helped
thomselves to what they wanted;
all the table silver and anything

matter of fact 8800 in Mexican
silver was brought back by the
Iruquois and also tho ship's pa
