ST. PETERSBURG, April 20. Admiral Alexieff has resigned
the vice-royalty of Manchuria. The immediate cause of this act is
the appointment of Admiral Skrydloff who is the late Viceroy's enemy,
to command the Russian naval forces. It is also reported that
Alexieff and Kuropatkin disagree about the conduct of the war.
It has also been apparent lately that Alexieff was losing the confidence
of the Emperor. The appointment of Skrydloff was made
without consulting Alexieff, who recommended another. Alexieff
will go to St. Petersburg before Skrydloff arrives at Port Arthur
to avoid meeting him. 'Skrydloff told the Emperor he would not
accept the naval command unless Alexieff was relieved as he attributed
to his mistakes the reverses suffered by the Russians.

is proceeding much better than many
of those interested hail hoped. Probably
by the time this letter reaches Honolulu'

to the territory will be before the President
for signature. That statement
may proc optimistic but none the less
signs all point that way, now. The gas
bill has passed the Senate and before

be able to pass the electric bill
there. The House Ins granted a special
rule for consideration of the franchise

inclined to have the franchise bills

The six turtle sciiopiiets which may furiii.sli an international
incident, belong to a famous fleet of .staunch craft owned by the people
of the cayman Islandb. The Cayman Islands, are Mritish territory
and are near Jamaica in the West Indies. Almost the sole commerce
of the Cayman Islanders is that of handling turtles secured
by the islandeis on the Nicaraguan and Ilouduiau coasts. They are
the turtle fishers-in-chief of the world. The green turtle soup esteemed
by the Aldermen of London and by the patrons of the best
lestaurants in all the cities of the United States is placed upon the
tables through the energy and daring of the Cayman turtle catchers
on those Central American coasts. The fishermen carry their catches
in schooticis to Jamaica and from that place they are exported by
steamer to the principal cities of the world. In the past there have
been many clashes between the Caymans and the soldiers of Honduras
and Nicaragua as the governments of those countries object
to the big profits the Caymans make on the turtles, and the latter
can only he secured as they are basking in the sun along the beaches
