gun is about 11 inches long. Il
is a muzzle loading flnt-gun with
the butt cut off at tho neck and
tho barrel out off about ten inches

of the prominent merchants in

position of increasing the runs bo

rendered it impossible
As it was, howevor, things wore
not definitely sttlod until tho

that six trips Bhould bo made
from this city to Hilo evory month,
steaicors leaving hero ouco every

"The unusual increase in pas

on account of tbo volcano and tho

those causes, a gradual incroaso
has been steadily taking place

The Wilder Company is pre

One Refers to Death of Chinaman at Kaneohe
Another Deals With Deported Chinese
Others Acted on.
.At a meeting cf tho Executivo
Couucil this foronoon two com
munications from tho OhinoBe
Consul Yong Wei Pin, woro road.
The first of theso dotls with tho
recent death of a Chinaman in
Koneobo ou tho night of an opium
raid by country police. Tho Cou-
sul states no uas ueon intormeu
that tho Chinaman question was
chased by police officors, struck
over the head and, falling iuto a
ditch whilo stunned by tho blow,
was drowned. Tho Government
is asked to inako an investigation.
The matter has boen placed in tho
hands of Attorney General Cooper
The socond communication
doals with the claims for passage
money and payment for lost of
time of Hawaiian born Chinamen
sent back to Ohiua at thu ordors
of Joshua K. Urowu and who, re
turning again to Honolulu, wero
admitted iuto tho country. This
innttnr was also reforred to Attor
ney General Cooper.
The W. It. Castle Tnntalus land
matter was brought up. It will
bo romerabured that, as tho out
come of a suit, sorao clients of Mr.
Castle woro told to soloot thirty
acres of land in tho Tantalus re
gion. The laud was selected and
thon tho Goverumont referring
tho mottor to the Survey Depart
mout, found that Mr. Castle had
selected sorao very good land that
ho should not havo solectod and
left unttelectod eomo inferior laud
that he should havo selected. The
roport of the Department recom
mending the changes was adopt
ed.
It was voted that the Minister
of Finance bo authorized to give
precedence to island sleamors over
sailing vossols in tho in at tor of
using government wharves. This
action has grown direotly out of
tho recant ocoupanoy of tho Hilo
wharf by foroicn vessels.
Othor matters, not in shapo to
be Rivon to tho public, woro dis
cussed.
President Dole stated to a re
porter of tho Bulletin that tho
Galician labor reports were taken
up this foronoon but, as thoro was
not a full cabinet present, no ac
tion was taken.
