Sierra Grande declined to 2.6502.75 and Robinson
sold at 20 Chrysolite and Iron Silver, however
were firm at $50 and 2.4j respectively, and all the
Leadville shares were moderately steady. The Cal

Clerk of the Supreme Court.

The appointment of Mr.. William Foster as
Clerk Of the Supreme Court to which We briefly
referred on Tuesday will be approved by all who
are personally acquainted with him. Though
not a native of the Kingdom, his parents came
when he was quite young to Honolulu, and after
receiving q good preparatory education at Pun
ahou he entered Yale College, where he grad
uated with honors in 1877 then took a two years
course in the Yale Law School, which is pre-
sided over by the most eminent law teachers in
the United States, He then spent four years in
a law Office in San Francisco, making the Adj
miralty practice his special study. For the past
year he has been engaged in the Office of,Messrs.
T. r. Foster & Co. of this city, but intended re-
turning to San Francisco in the Mariposa, to en-
gage in the practice of law there.
The position of Chief Clerk of the Supreme
Court has been rendered to him without solicita-
ton ON his part, in the face of several applicants
for the place, and we are not saying too much
when we express the opinion that his literary
habits and legal training pre-eminently qualify
him for the responsible duties of his office.
Though he has spent fifteen or more years in
Honolulu, and ten more abroad solely to obtain
a thorough university and legal education necss-
saFy for usefulness here or elsewhere, yet by the
strict letter of the law passed by the last Legis-
lature, he was barred from tlkipg the oath of
allegiance, and has only been enabled to accept
the office by receiving letters patent of denizen-
ship from His Majesty. The selection and ap-
pOiptment of Mr.. Foster is creditable to the Ju-
dietary Department OF Hawaii.

Lolita Really a Bride.

Chicago, July 23.-The Tribuns's Washington
special of July 22nd says: 1t may be stated on
excellent authority that Lolita, the actress, is
married to o. F. HuSs of this city. The mar
riage took place several months ago, but the pub
LEGATION of the license was withheld until the
bride reached Europe. There seems to be no
longer any excuse for secresy, and the husband
will leave, via the National line, in a few days
to Join bis wife. In a recent letter Lolita iuclosed
to Mr.. Huss : daft for $500, which he had
cashed to-day, utilizing 2 portion of the funds in
giving a swell dinner to a few iPtipate friends.
At this party Huss presented undoubted prqofs
Of his marriage to the frOlicsome Lolita, and an
noqnced that be would leave for New York to-
morrow and would attend to business matters in
that city prior to his departure for Europe 1t
viii be remembered that q few weeks ago,
when the marriage license of Q. E. Fuss and
Charlotte CrabtEee vas published in the papers
of this city. the correctness of the story was de-
MED by several of Lotta's friends, as we'll as by
the groom. To-day's developments, however,
are asserted to be conclusive and leave no room
for doubt as to the marriage Of the popular ar-
tress-

A SECRET PLOT.
Mysteries and Mysteries-The Governors
Diplomacy.

Wednesday evening the following document was
found in the streets, having evidently fallen out
Of an editorial pocket-boOk, which was found
close by, and IS said to belong to the city night
editor
A private letter, Just received by schooner,
affords US an explanation of the sudden visit
paid last week by Governor Dominis to Maui.
1t is well known that the Governor distinctly
refused his consent to the visit of the Royal
Hawaiian Band to San Francisco. The band Is
in his charge, as Governor Of Oahu and Com
mander-in-Chief Moreover, according to the
laws of the Kingdom, no native Hawaiian can
leave the country without permission from the
Governor of the island on which he resides. AS
everybody knows, the band has gone away with
out the Governors permission. The willy
Gibson arranged the matter when he found
that "My sovereign " meant it. Just at the
time when all this was being finally arranged,
Governor Dominis was sent for to visit Maui,
where he is an immense favOrite with the ma
tive population and extremely well liked by all
the white people who are not bigoted t~eetotal-
Iers. Hands had been struck upon it by men of
both parties that if the Governor should be
trodden upon, Maui would rise in her wrath,
disrupt the monarchy, seize Molokai. Lanai and
Hawaii as her appanages, and once more
have a king of her own. Need it
be said that the amiable and jovial
Governor was the man of her choice.
But for His Excellency's personal loyalty to the
throne and the tact and discretion with which
he manipulated the situation, Lahaina would
by this time have once more been the capital of
a kingdom. The most earnest preparations had
been made. We do not wish to compromise in
dividuals, 50 we refrain from mentioning the
names of those by whom promises of support
had been volunteered. The P. l.. Il 5. Co. was
confidently relied on for the 'sinews of war -
the Kohala Planters Rife Association were
drilling secretly every night Mr.. Nj, who
expected to be raised to a GovernOrship under
the new regime, had all the manhood of Hilo
district marshaled, ready for the fray Lanai
was being secretly fortified by a united band of
turkey thieves MOlokai was to be frightened
into submission by the threat of letting loose
the lepers. All, in fact, was Just nearly
ready What a pity for newspaper men that
the Governor was too modest to take advantage
of this tide in his affairs that might have led
him on tO fortune. What stirring times We
should have had to chronicle ! We hope the
editor to whom this belonged will not be dis
appointed at our publishing it for him.-ED.
