The practice of many dealers in produce in the markets of the city of buying from the farmers who attend the choicest por- tions of their produce in order to forestall competition has been the subject of fre- quent and emphatic complaint, of which the Commissioners have felt constrained to take notice. They have directed the at- torney for the District to advise them what course should be taken to enforce the law against said practice. The law, which is _| taken from Webb's Digest, reads as fol- ows: “It shall not be lawful for any person or persons to buy any provisions or fruits in either of said markets during the market hours aforesaid or which may hereafter be fixed by law for the purpose of selling them again in said markets, or in any of them, or in any part of the city, under a penalty of not less than $10 nor more than $20 for each and every such offense,” —_—_—— Dr. Peters’ Ambition.

AMERICA AS MEDIATOR) England Said to Favor Mr. Cleveland as Arbiter With China. The Situation Explained by the Jap- anese Minister, Mr. Tateno—Discon= tent in Coren Alleged to Be Rife. Lovdon Dispatch New York Sun. All sources of information agree that war exists, in fact if not in name, between China and Japan, It is true, however, that the British government has not abandoned the hope of staying further hostilities. Her majesty’s government fs willing to go to the greatest lengths to accomplish this object. War in the far east would be regarded with genuine consternation by the British for- eign office. It would mean the complete re- adjustment of the whole of the eastern sit- uation, a readjustment which would surely result in serious disadvantage to British in- terests, even if war was actually escnped by this country. Herce there has been the greatest anxiety and activity in diplo- matic circles here for tweaty-four hours that have been seen since England was on the verge of war with France, just a year ago. The special cabinet council summoned last night for the consideration of the eastern questicn met this morning. The cables were burdened all night with long government messages. The Chinese minister received a dispatch from Tientsin at 5 o'clock this morning, which caused him to summon Sir Halliday Macartney to the Iegation an hour later. Both gentlemen were closeted with Lord Kimberley long before his usuat office hour. Lord Rosebery then consulted with the foreign secretary several hours in the middie of the day. American Med) me hi One American cable was alnost mohopo- lized by urgent messages between the ite Department at Washington and the itish foreign office. I have good autho: for saying that the British governmen:! has abandoned the suggestion that the ques- tions at dispute between China and Japan be submitted to it as an arbitrator, it being evident that such an arrangement would be opposed by Russia. The whole effort of the English government now is~to- secure the acceptance by both disputants of Presi- dent Cleveland's offer to mediate. Oriental diplomacy is a thing past finding out, and nobody dares to prophesy, but the opinion in diplomatic circles here now is that a compromise is no longer possible and that war is inevitable. The Chinese government having made in- quiries in London as to the price the mar- ket would give for a Chinese loan of several million pounds, the Hong Kong and Shang- hai Bank made an offer to the government at Pekin to take the whole loan, but the government replied that they were not in need of money. The activity of the Japanese operations is supposed to have been incited by the desire of the government to achieve rome success- s before the general elections, which take place in August. After the elections it is assumed that Japan will readily arrange terms of peace. Discontent in Corea. As the result of inquiry made of experts in eastern politics and persons who have resided in Corea, the representative of the Associated Press in London learns that widespread discontent exists in Corea be- cause of the corruption and misgovernment that everywhere prevail. One of the most powerful revolutionary factors in the coun- try is a quasi religious sect called Tong Hak, which ascribes the precarious condi- tion of Corean trade and commerce to the presence of foreigners in the country. This sect has set for itself the task of ridding Corea of the hated foreigners, and has threatened the Japanese and other foreign residents. Among the charges brought against thé foreigners is one that they have caused an enormous increase in the prices of food stuffs without any benefit accruing to the Coreans. The King of Corea possesses no real au- thority, and he is in constant terror of a revolution that will sweep him from his throne. He is heavily in debt, and the whole country is in a state of anarchy. To this condition of affairs is due the revolt that recently started in one of the provinces. Last year 39.000 Coreanis, armed and un- armed, threatened to march on the capital, Seoul, and expel the foreigners. This re- bellion was suppressed, but the country has been disturbed ever since. Reforms in the administration are regarded as absolutely necessary, not only to save the commerce of the country, but for the safety of for- eigners. Foreign Intervention Asked. Advices received in Berlin from Seoul, by way of Shanghai, show that upon the re- fusal of Corea to accede to Japan's demand that the Chinese troops be sent out of the country, the Japanese advanced on Seoul. After a short encounter, in which the Cor- eans were defeated, the Japanese occupied the royal palace. The King of Corea there- vpon asked the foreign representatives to intervene. China’s Preparstion for War. Advices have reached London indicating that the Japanese attacked the Chinese troops who landed at Asan from the trans- ports that escaped from the Japanese war- ships. It is added that China has prohibited the exportation of rice or grain. Torpedoes have been laid in the North channel and the entrance of Yang Tse Kiang river. The Chinese government is buying war material freely. Mr. Tateno on the Situation. From the New York Herald. I have had an interview with Mr. Gozo Tateno, the accomplished and popular Japanese minister, whose recall is the sub- ject of general regret here. In the course of our conversation Mr. Tateno gave a very interesting summary of the relations, past and present, between China and Japan. “So far,” he remarked, “as relations be- tween China and Japan are concerned, it may be said that for the past twenty years it has been the object of the men who have controlied Japanese affairs—and that in- en ee ee ee ae lief—to keep on good verms with China. It has been recognized in Japan that her in- terests and those of China are in a general way identical. Most of the trouole between the two countries has originated in a sus- picion, which seems to be ingrained in the Chinese mind, that the Japanese are not in earnest in their declarations that Japan has no desire to be the ruling power of the east, nor in any way to affect China's standing among other nations of the orient, Coren’s Independence Recognized. “The Japanese have nevar claimed suver- ain rights over Corea since ancient times. The Chinese on two occasions have dis- avowed any responsibility for the govern- ment of the hermit kingdom, the firsc to the French and the second to the Americans. The Tien Tsin convention was a distinct disavowal on the part of China of ary suzerain rights over Corea, and was a mu- tual acknowledgment by both nations that neither should interfere by force ef arms in the affairs of Corea without the consent and knowledge of the other. Throughout the whole of our deaiings with Corea it has been our purpose to preserve the autonomy of Corea. We desire that Corea should be an independent state. It has been shown time and time again that if Corea’s posi- tion had been definitely determined much of the trouble In the orient would not have occurred. Commerce thetween Corea and Japan has steadily increased since 1876, and at the present time Japan is the principal commercial nation represented in Corea, and the number of Japanese resilents in the kingdom is larger than the number cf citizens of any other nation. Whenever trouble occurs in Corea these interests ai- ways suffer, Origin of the Present Trouble. “This brings us to the present day. China, without notice to Japan, embarked a body of troops to Corea and then informed Japan of her action. Japan, as she had a right to do under her treaty with Corea and the Tien Tsin convention, then sent 200, and aft ward 1,200, soldiers to the peninsula. number of these troops was magnified in the Shanghai dispatches to 19,00.

Japan's Attitude, “Now, the situation is simply this: The Japanese govern: it firmly intends to re spect the independence of Corea. It will ng permit China, by any of the methods of di. plomacy in which she is so peculiarly an adept, to induce her to move from the por sition she has taken in this matter. She has no intention of permanently occupying, Corean territory or of controlling affairs other than is consistently demanded for her own safety. If China cannot agree to participate with her in some movement looking to an improvement of affairs is Corea she cannot but think that niet | disposed to precipitate complication: that being the case she has no further re, SpoRsibility for anything that may happen, Japan will agree to any fair compromii but she is not to be forced by China's | fusal to meet her at least part way. “The surrounding of the palace of the Corean king by Japanese troops is wholly for the purpose of prevénting China fri spiriting away the official head of Corean af. fairs.

Naval officers in this city were much ine terested in the official report from Yoko+ hama of the engagement between the Chir nese and Japanese fleets, and the resulf confirmed their estimate of the of the Japanese sailors. According to the dispatch the Chinese fleet was a stronger than the Japanese fleet, in that included a large battle ship, which, accord ing to naval standards, should have able, single handed, to vanquish the thi Japanese cruisers. The Tsao Kian, said to have been tured by the Japanese, is a torpedo of 1,38 tons, or about 400 tons than our Yorktown. She was built in amp land in 1881, is a 17-knot vess¢l, an@ armed with two §-inch Armstrong an@ 5S-inch rifles. The Chen Yuen, ich ene caped from the Japanese fieet, is a magnifie cent and formidable battle ship of 7,430 ton® and carrying a 4-inch Krupp and two 6 inch rifles. She is rated at 14 1-2 knots, and is very similar in appearance to the Maine, which she exceeds in tonnage. handled with even ordinary skill and cours age naval officials here say she should have wade short work of the three Japancse cruisers instead of running awa. The Chinese torpedo cruiser Huan Tai, which also ran away, is about the size of the cape tured vessel, but carried two 7-inch Krupp end five 5-inch guns. The Japanese vessels were all protected cruisers, and the fact that these vessels were able to run off a large battle ship gives food for thought to naval men and is cal+ culated to disturb the theoretical estimate of the relative power of these vessels. The Akitsushima is a triumph of Japanese n/ val architecture, for they built her them- selves two Years ago. She is of 4.) tons burden, of 19 knots speed and is armed with four 6-inch and six 5-inch rifles.

Telephone Wires Are Doing Damage to the Honolulu Algarobas, From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser, The deadly telephone is at its work of de- struction again, the fine old algarobas in the Kawaiahao Church yard being now the object of attack. The Bell Telephone Com- pany is putting in some new poles on King street at the point indicated and is raising its wires, The result is that all the over harging branches, which afford some shade to the street, must be sacrificed. This is only a specimen of the work of desolation in which the telephone companies have been engaged for ten years or more. Hard- ee ae show in long lines of shadeless streets the marks of their ravages. As @ devastator of foliage the cottony cushion scale is simply, Pad at them is nothing | und of a friend. Th out which life would be a barren wilder- ness. In other countries the wires have been put under ground. Is there anything in the character of Hawaiian soil to pre- vent the same thing being done here? If the telephone companies would compound their differences subscribers might have pay a slightly higher rate for instruments, but the stockholders might get « larger ividend, and there would, it is to be hoped, be coin enough in the strong box to enable them to get under gronnd with their wires. ‘The indifference of the government and apparently of the public also to this matter of street shading is astonishing. It could hardly be worse if the city were controlied by the hack drivers. The unfortunate pe- destrian is poor and without influence. When Walter Murray Gibson was pre- mier, in the good old days of the monarchy, when his mind was not occupied with dreams of conquest in the South Seas, he conceived the idea of planting trees aion, the sidewalks all over the city. Most the trees did not live long enough to get their heads above the barre! hich encir- cled them, but some of them are throwing broad masses of friendly shade over the dusty thoroughfares. Mr.Gibson’s idea was a good one, and it ought to be revived. A comprehensive plan of street shading ought to be sketched in and carried out, ond it it to have an absolute right of way— ought = can in! ni Gp immaaenaiatiS Coaching Horses Die of the Heat.
