The arrest of Ellis Ashmead Bart- lett, member of Parliament for the Ecclesall divi his son was captured on a schooner near | Platamona by a warship of the Greek eustern squadron and is now being con- veyed to Athens, was treated in a jocular manner in the House of Commons to-day. Sir Ellis has all along been a most fervid philo-Turk in Parliament. Vi dmiral dward Field asked a long question, which was irequently punc- tuated with roars of laughter, finishing by ding the immediate release of Sir by the Greek authorities and a be apology for the indignity put upon him. Jumes Caldwell asked the Government to obtain the liberation of Sir Ellis’ son, who, he said, was in no ways answerable for the acts of his father. [Laughter.] Curzon thanked the members for their solicitude -in benalf of Siz Ellis, who he feit sure was in no personal danger.

The English, be said, were not losing any- thing by adhering to the Treaty of Paris. together by en agreement which forced them into a federation, the object of which was to prevent a European war. Keeping Greece ana Turkey from conflict was of course desirable, but a secondary matter. The concert of the powers had bopea all danger of a general Eiropean war had passed away. | ROME, ITALY, May 6.—An Athens dis- paten says Amilcar Cipriani, the Italian socialist leader who went to Greece with a number of volunteers to fight agsinst the Turks, was arrested at Athens to-day upon the charge of instifating the recent public disorders. He was rescued, however, by a crowd of sympathizers who closed aronnd the police and forced them to relinquish Cipriani, who was borne away in triumph by the mob. It is believed Cipriani will be expelled from Greece as soon as the | authorities find him. | CONSTANTINOPLE, Turxey, May 6.— Fdhem Pasha telegraphs, in relerence to the fighting at Pharsala, that the Greeks | were gradually driven from all their posi- ing, the Turks estabiished thexnselves in front and in the rear of Pharsala, besides | destroying the railway at Volo. In a later dispatch Edhem Pasha adied the Turks had occupied Pharsala and the Greek intrenchments. The Greeks, he said, were hurriedly retreating to Domokn, closely pressed by the cavairy. | ATHENS, GREECE, May 6.—The Greek army has taken a position at Domoko, about twelve miles southwest of Pharsala. The staff of Crown, Prince Constantine held a council last evening and decided, as the Turks were receiving large re-en- forcements, enabling them Lo greatly out- number the Greeks, that the success of | the CGreeks was impossible. It was there- fore decided to retire to Domoko. The Government authorities assert they have reason to believe the powers have intervened and say Greece will accent an armistice if proposed by the European | Governmenis. —_——— To Protect the Dynasty. LONDON, Exc, May 6.—The Daily Mail’s Berlin dispatch says it 1s reporied that the powers have decided to land troops at Athens to protect the dynasiy, Greece having declined the proffered mediation and Turkey being willing to negotiate if Crete is evacuated. Marqués Ito Coming. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 6 —The Japa- nese Consul has received word from the Japanese Consul at Vancouver that Mar- quis Ito was to sail for this country on May 7, en route to London, where he lorms part of the suite of Prince Take- hito, who will represent the Japanese Em- peror at the Queen’s jubilee. Marqais Ito is one of Japan’s most distinguished statesmen; was Premier during the war with China, and with Yamagata was largely responsible for the success of Japan in that war, WHITE LABOR 1§ HAWAIAN ISLES Fitzgerald Thinks the Conditions Are Favorable. Special Japanese Agent Will Iinvestigate Immigration Troubles. Wreck of the S'eamer Likslike. Quarantine Extended—Haro Kirl and Murder. HONOLULU, Hawarr, April 29.—Yes- terday was the twelith day since the last of thesix cases of smailpox amoug the Japanese immigrants at the quarantine | station broke out, and it was expected | that further danger was over. Another mild case was reported early vesterday morning, which meaas eighteen addi- | days’ quarantine for 139 Japanese, 51 Cuinese contract laborers brought n the Doric are quarantined in anoiher part of theisland. They will be released when their eighteen days from Yokohama are up, as they were all vaccinated and quarantined before embarking at Hong- kong. Minister Cooper, Collector - General Castie and the other officials who were exposed to smallpox while examining the stutus of the immigrants previous to their landing from the Kinai-maru, were re- leased from quarantine on the 27ih, and are now at their desks making up for lost time. By the Doric the Japanese Minister re- ceived his credentials from the Emperor, and he was given an audience by Pre-i- dent Dole on the day following. The pro- ceedings were quite imposing. Minister Shimamura, resplendent in a gorgeous uniform, attendea by Mr. Hirai, Secretary of Legation, went in a carriage to the ex- ecutive building. He was received with the usual military guard of honor. Minister Shimamura received several very important dispatches together with | his credentials, the contents of which he is guarding with jealous care. Inter- viewed as to their nature he would only say: “I am convinced that only the freeim. migration to these islands has been temporarily stopped by my Government. There can be no question over the rignt of the Jupanese contract laborers consigned to responsible parties to land on Hawai, and I believe that my Government realizes this.” About the coming of one or two Japan- | ese battle-ships to Honolulu Minister Shimamura stated that he knew nothing. The Wilder Steamship Compguy’s steamer Likelike is a total wreck, having struck on a rock off Honoipu, a port on the island of Hawaii. About half the cargo of sug r and other freight was saved. The Likelike was built by Dickey Brothers in San Francisco in 1877, and was brought to the islands the same year by the late Captain Marchant. She has seen much service about the islands. The L kelike was a wooden vessel of 596 tons. She was insured for $25,000. Cap- tain Sachs has been in the employ of the company for some months as mate, but this was his first trip as master, The Hawaiian Government, and Minis- ter Cooper especially, is much put out over the published interviews with the new Chinese Minister, Wu Ting Fang, in San Francisco, which states that he was treated with discourtesy by the Hawaiian Government. Minister Ccoper has fur- nished your correspondent with a copy of | the letter which was addressed to Goo | Kim Fui, the Chinese coramercial agent | bere, immediately after the Board of Health decided that the Minister and his Tetinue could not land owing to the smail- | pox quarantine. Itis expressed in terms of courtesy and regret, It was the ints tion to zive the Chinese Minister an elabo- rate reception, for which preparations had | been made. | _ The Britisn ship Wild Swan sailed last | Monday for a cruise in the_ south seas, calling at Fanning Island, Palmyra Isi- and, Christmas Island, Pitcairn Island and'other places. She will probab.y re- turn to Honolulu inside of two months. By the Australia’s mail the Foreign Office received a cablegram from Tokio, by way of San Francisco, saying that a special agent of the Japanese Government had left Yokohama on the cruiser Naniwa for Honolulu 1o investigate the immigra- tion difficuities. President Dole and Minister Damoa made an officiel call on Admiral Beard |lee shortly aiter the arrivalof the Aus- | tralia, which gave rise to rumors thut the | Government “had received important | news. 1t was officially denied that there | was any significance in the visit. 7 | President Dote celebrated the fifty- | third anniversary of his birthday on the | 234 inst. by remaining quietly at home at | his Waikiki residence. 5 | The Japanese commurity had a big | meeting last Friday night in honor of | Minister Shimamura's promotion. Ad- | dresses were adopted congratulating the Minister. He was also presented with a | handsome gola-mounted coffeewood cane and a number of bouquets. The Minister did not attend the meeting, 20 a commit- tee had to make the presentations at his se, whiie the meeting amused itself with some Japanese dancing-girls. | " Forty acres of cane on the Eleele plan- | tation, Kauai, was burned by an incen- diary fire last we k, involving a loss of about 200 tons of sugar. : Samuel Savidge, who has been a resi- | dentof Honolulu since 1856, died yester- | day, aged 73 years. He has been employed | inthe grocery-house of Tom May on Fort street from the day of his arrival here. A horrible case of barakiri cccurred in this city last Saturday. A Japanese named Himai cut Lis wiie’s throat from ear to ear in two places and then disemboweled himself. Both were covered with smaller siabs about the arms and chest. The deed was done with a razor. The man died on Sunday. but, strange to say, the | woman 1s still “alive, though it is hardly | possible she can recover. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald has re- turned from his tour of the islands and may leave for home un this steamer. He had a meeting with some leading mem- bers of the Planters’ Association on Tues- day, and yesterday he met President Dole and the Cabinet in a session which lasted two hours, A synopsis of his forthcom- ing report may be gathered from the foi- lowing interview published in the Ha- waiian Star of his return from Hawaii. Said he: Everywhere we were met with great frank- ness on the part of the planters and unex- pected courtesies were thrust upon us. No- where aid we meet with the slightest opposi- tion or reticence. The pianters seem more than anxious to secure the white labor, but they do not séem yet to grasp the idea of how to bring about a change in the eXisting con- ditions. T could have taken orders for a num- ber of white iaborers,but it would haye been no use. If this change i to be effected it must be done in a systematic and businesslike way by the peope here. The change cannot b sudden and radical; it must be brought about slowly, but steadily'and firmiy. Itis no great underfaking, after all, when properly com- menced. In my opinion white labor can perform 80 per cent of the labor on tne plantations Witd- out any hardship shatever, and all of it with- out excessive conditions. Even the much talked of labor of ciearing the land can be performed by white men, and I will guarantea that the 1and will be much better cleaned than it is by these littte brown fellows. From what I have secn of this cheap labor it 1s the ployer. A whiie man could do twice the work I have seen these Chinese und Jupanese doing, inless time and with more satisiactory re- suits, witnout grumbling or considering him- self overworked. But he could not live as they do—nor could any civilized humsn being. Toe labor question here is a simple one. In California we had to pass twenty-one iaws be- fore we could eradicate the many evils that had crept into our system there. There are noue of those bad features here. There is no need of legislation. The only questions to be considered are the amount of pay and the ability of the laborer to dothe work. The em= ploye can live better here even than in Cali- fornia, and there is no question but that he willreceive his payif he periorms the work required of him. No class of people recognize the necessity of 2 chanre in the labor conditions better than the coffee-planters. Coffec-planting is now beyond the experimental period, and within the next iew years there wili be from 5000 (o 10,000 acres of land producing coffee. “T'here 1s practically no labor to bandle such 8 crop, nor cin there be under the present conditions. The picking season lasts but three months, at the most, and during that period the ratio of labor necessary to_ handle the crop must be increased from 6 08 to 1. Ii whites were empioyed on the isiand on the sugar plantations, their children could do the picks ing. The coffee-planter Is powerless to heip. It all rests with the sugar-planter. Now is the time for sction. Delay at this time may ruin the agricultural industries of the isiands. The louger itis putoff the harder i witl be to cnange the conditions. RACING AT COLUSA. Jockey Club Events That Ering Outa Large Crowd. COLUSA, Car., May 6.—The third day of the Colusa Jockey Club races over the Agricultural Park Track brought out the largest crowd yet. The grand stand was a solid mass of pretty Lats and light-colored waists, and when the' flag dropped to the three-quarters of a mile running dash for $200 there were six starters.

BAKERSFIELD, CaAL., May 6.—The at- tendance at the races to-day was as small as usual. The events were full of excit- ing interest. Jockey Finn was thrown by Moss Terry in the last race.
