 OVERTURNED. Fears of a Wealthy Natiye---The I1ehunas Say He Will Die Unless Given Seat in the Cabipet---Sister Rose

Corr. san Francisco Examiner.

HONOLULU, October 23-The event of the week has been the vote on want of in the Hawaiian cabinet. The people who were trying to get the cabinet out charged them with having no policy, being vacillating and not being able to lead the house.
 The attorney general, iu a very able speech. plead guilty to the first and last, but disputed the charge that the cabinet were vacillating in any sense Matters of public policy may and do re- quire changes in their treatment from day to day. He confessed that the cabi- net had been unable to formulate policy, owing to time at which they came into office. Coming from private life he, per sonally, had to attend the meetings of the house. He was then chairman of six committees and member of seven more. Besides he had the work of his depart ment to look out for, not inconsider- able item. As for leading the house, no cabinet could do that composed, as it was, of such heterogeneous elements.
 Representative Bush preceded and fol lowed the attorney general. He attacked the prime minister particularly, as did other speakers. The trouble is the prime minister is a Hawaiian partly, and occu- pies his position primarily because of that. He is not up to the standard oi the other ministers.
 When the motion was put on the in definite postponement of the it bill was carried by vote of 26 to IS. The presen cabinet was sustained and the prospective cabinet, with Noble Widemann at the head was relegated to back seat.
 A STRANGE SUPERSTITION.
 Now, though all this may seem ordinary politics, it .is in fact extraordinary. 1 | Noble, of the house, Sam Parker, as he Il usually known, has met with some mis fortune and is unable to use his righ arm. He has been very sick, but now at tends meetings of the legislature, carry ing his right arm in sling. Being very rich man he has had the best med cal advice. He is, moreover, highly It spected and well liked by everybody, an has been considered as the very bes specimen of the native Hawaiian on th islands.
 1ne story goes that notwithstandin he advice of his physician, the kahuna or witches influenced Mir. Parker int setting up from a sick bed and walkin ! number of miles at midnight, at the in ninent risk of his life, giving him a se back from which it will take some tim to recover. Moreover, 1t is said the have tol him that he will never be n we man till he gets into the cabinet, and u less he gets into the cabinet soon be wi
 ne. 1t seems that he is able to comman eighteen votes, and it is remarkable thl such noble specimen of manhood shoul oe so superstitious.

 One of the members of the legislatu
 Noble Horner, formerly resident of c
 ifornia, has lately introduced bill to low the issue of paper money and coining of gold and silver. Just what
 prospects of the bill are it is impossil
 to say, as at least the legislature is W;
 ing up to the necessity of adjourning a The object of the bill is to obviate
 necessity of borrowing money at the pr
 ent high rates from abroad.
