In answer to questions as to the condiilons of Chinese immigration at the Islands, Mr. Smith explained that at present all Chiasse who have resided in the Islands are allowed to return with in two years, on the production of their pass
ports 1 merchants are allowed to land and Ira in the Islande for six months on fillng a bood for $500, and all Chinese who come alther s agricultural workers er domestic servants are allowed to land free. The object of these laws is to prevent the competition of Asiatics in commerce and Industrial affairs, in which at one time they threatened entirely to super- cede the whites and native Hawiliana. It is the intention of the Government to main- tala the country as a place where whites can make a living, and the only way they can do this Is by restricting immigration from China to labourers only.

Regarding the future of the Islands, Mr. Smith says there is little doubt but that in the near future they will form part of the United States. By the commercial relations, geogra phical position, and the traditions and feelings of the dominant race, they are already Ameil can. The abject of the present Government is to prove to the people of the United States that the Telands are well-supporting and capable of self- government, and when that is done annexation will be sure to follow. The old line of chiefs bas now ended, and no farther troubles are looked for from this cause, the aim of the present administration being to benefit the native Hawallins as much as possible., No trouble is feared on account of the number of Aalaries sestdent there, the precedent estab- lished in the treatment to Florida and Louisiana | of the Indian and mixed races found there upon the territories breaming American giving the basis of the proposed strangerments.
Mr. Smith expressed himself as much pleased with what he bid-seen of Hongkong, and, as our reporter was leaving, sald he was tony ha was not able to make a longer stay in the “ Isla of Fragrant Streimi," He is now in Canton studying the plague.

SAN FRANCISCO, May rgih. Among the passengers of the steamer CA, which arrived here last night from Japan, were General G. B. Williams, of Philadelphia, and George W. Dickey, of this city. These gentle men represent respectively the Cramps, of city. They have been to Japan in the interests of their respective firms, looking toward securing for the United States a number of the contracts for buliding war vessels which the Japanese Government expects to seon lai.
And believing that a nation which annually transacte's volume of business more than half as great as that transacted by all the balance of the world combined, is capable of regulating its own financial system without foreign aid or inter ference, we favour the restoration of silver to its place as standard money in the United States by aizieted coinsge at a present legsi ratto,
Beileving farther that the disastrous fali la prices which has progressed steadily for more than twenty years will inevitably result in wide. spread rain unless speedily arrested, we favour the enaciment of such laws without delay.
