RECIPROCITY WITH HAWAII.

Sandwich Island Vessels Given Equal Privileges with Our Own. Washington, April 24. —Reciprocity between the United States and Hawaii in shipping regulations has been brought about by the action of the treasury department in giving to Hawaiian merchant vessels the same advantages enjoyed by American ships. The Hawaiian government has alreadyplaced our ships on the same terms as its own. Mr. Hastings, the Hawaiian charge nere, says the new arrangement is proving very satisfactory to shipmasters in both countries. He has prepared a full summary of our shipping laws for transmission to his , government, as the treasury decision practically makes this operative in Hawaii.
