THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1899.
JAPANESE EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
An interesting Japanese immigration case is reported in the San Francisco Chronicle. It appears that a Japanese nommer i arrived at San Francisco some time about the beginning of August on the steamer Hongkong Maru. The Federal quarantine officer feet up examination that he was suffering from a incurable disease. Upon receiving a certi ficate to this effect the Immigration Commis sioner, Mr. H, H. North, refused the Jajanose permission to land, and by direction of the Commissioner the steamship company held Ota in custody pending deportation.
In order to secure the release of Ota, Autor. ney Blames swore at a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court. On the
hearing it was shown that Ots had been in America before and established a permanent residence. He is a member of a local Japanese firm and some months ago proceeded to Japan on a business trip to purchase goods for his
firm.
drained the Spanish pocket. In the fierce desire of expansion, which to-day has laid hold of the more active, restless nations, the peoples of the south can take no share. The competition is too pressing for their gay slothful, pleasure-loving temperament.- Where life is easy and work hard we cannot expect to find a colonial policy conceived with not sacrifice themselves for island's oversea, so spirit, and the Andalusians, for instance, will

So it that for many years Spain failed either to govern or to profit by her colonies; the war, conducted by un scrupulous generals, was a certain guarantee of poverty, and it is a significant truth that by shifting the burden Spain has enriched herself. It is a long while since the peseta bore the value which it bears to-dity.
Bu though the war is over, and accepted loyally for what it achieved, the Spaniards, in private, still nurse a painted wound.

THE P & O. BRINDISI ROUTE,
A Rome despatch advises that the Italian Government, the Italian Railway Companies, the Sleeping Car Company, and the 1. & 0. Company have concluded an arrangement-by which the Mail service to India via Brindisi will be considerably improved. In future. English passengers to or from India will have no occasion to complain of he visits of Customs officials in Italy, which are henceforth abolished. One ticket for the whole journey from London to India, or vice versa, will be issued at a price less than that by the Marseilles route, and special tickets will be issued for Indian officials on leave, and will be available for the whole period of the official's leave. Further, the train service in connection with the Indian Mail will be accelerated, the journey through Italy being shortened by four hours. A considerable sum will be spent on improving tlie port of Brindisi, and the P. & O. Company has agreed to run between that part and Alexandria vessels equal to those on the Marseilles-Alexandria route. With these improvements, it is claimed that the journey to India, Dia Brindisi, will undoubtedly possess many advantages over that via Marseilles.
- PENANO'S NEW PUISNE JUDGE. Mr. Justice Harwood sat in court on Friday, 22nd Sept., as puisne judge at Penang, and tried sina!! cases. Upon His Honour's taking the bench Mr. Ross, on behalf of the Bar, congratulated him upon his appointment, and expressed his regret that such appointment was only, temporary. The volume of work in the courts of this settlement warranted Govern ment in making the appointment, and made it desirable that it should be continued until four Judges were present in the Colony, Mr. Ross pointed out that the learned Judge's long ser vice in the Colony and his experience of the habits and customs of the people placed him in an advantageous position.
Mr. Justice Harwood said, in reply, that he was deeply sensible of the sympathetic words uttered by Mr. Ross on behalf of the Bar.
