The steamship Doric brought news Dy. Tne trouble with the Jananese who were booked to come on the Co lumbia was due principally, it is said, to the failure of the company supply ing the immigrants to comply with one of the new regulations of the Jap- anese Government.

The con ditions of the contract service met with the approval of the authorities, being more favorable than those heretofore obtaining. The first shipment, con sisting of about seven hundred con tract laborers sailed from Japan on August 2 on the steamship Toyo Maru and should be here in a day or two. The second shipment of seven hundred more was to leave Yokohama on Aug ust 15 in the steamer Bankoku Maru. Further advices were to the effect that the remainder of the 3.000 immigrants to be supplied by the Japan Emigra tion Company would leave Japan be fore the end of August, in abundance of time to enable the company to fill its contract within the time allowed three months. . These are the laborers secured for the company by George E. Boardman on his recent trip to Japan. BIDS OPENED. For the New Spreckels Building at llilo.

The opening farce "The Arrival of Jim Jefferies," by Post, and Marion, went with a roar from the start. Mr. Post, as "Jim Jefferies," furnished fun in the great fight scene while Mr. Marion was a close second. Boggs and Haeward did some clever work in a new comedy sketch. Miss Lillian Leslie introduced some new songs with great success. Al Hazzard and his little family still continue to please. Miss Dixon was as pleasing as ever and was obliged to respond to several encores. The same i programme will be on tonight.' The First Automobile. Chas. S. Desky made the assertion yesterday that the first automobile in Honolulu would be seen running up to Pacific Heights. He expects to leave for the Coast in a couple of weeks and will bring one back with him. Amendment Allowed.

These steps have been in contemplation for some time, and it is probable that both .changes will be effected LAWYERS ADMITTED William talivell ana Albert Francis Judd May Practice.
