Counterfeiting probe and court actions in Honolulu
The District Attorney reports a widespread counterfeiting scheme of United States silver currency abroad reaching Honolulu. Two Chinese suspects, Hu Young and Lai Wing, were arrested after a bold street exchange, with coins dated 1865 and Hawaii issues seized. The case, along with court backlog and proposed frontier justice reforms, dominates a long session covering treasurer irregularities, plague expenditures, and calls for three circuit judges.

Treasury defalcation shocks Territory as treasurer flees
A public cash shortage and likely theft unsettle the Territory after Treasurer William H. Wright disappears aboard the Alameda bound for San Francisco. Investigators report a shortfall of about 17 thousand dollars in the treasury, with the state funds and gold certificates reconciled except for a remaining deficit. Secretary Henry B Cooper confirms Governor Dole’s commission to probe, noting the treasury accounts balance with only four cents discrepancy. The public works and other accounts are being reviewed as officials pursue the absconder and recover funds.
