Crimson Tea For the Benefit of Greene
Memorial Church.
The crimson tea given by the Par
sonage Aid Society of tho Greene Mem.
orial Methodist Church last night in
the lecture room of the church was a
decided social and financial success:
At one time some one turned out the
gas and left the room in total darkness
for q few moments.
There were about twenty tables laden
with good things to eat, which were pre-
sided over by the young ladies, most of
whom we're appropriately attired in
brilliant costumes as the name implies.
The young ladies will serve an excel
lent dinner at the church TODAY and
the festival will also be continued to.

his honor, Judge Williams, prepared a

the sheriff Of that county to summon
them. They will be at Newbern by to-
morrow noon. The work of obtaining a

It's understood that only short
session OF court will be held Saturday

term there, which was fastened TO n
close that he might reach Pulaski In
time on Wednesday to save the term.
Inc venire is composed Of as good men

The counsel on both sides is the same
as before and all the members are on
the ground.
The court to day reversed the county

DIVIDING THE HONORs.
Eulenburg to Succeed CaprivI In One OF
His Positions.

-NAo"putB I'd succeed CnprivI In One OF
His Positions.
BERLIN, March 24.-The report that
Count Gutenberg had been offered and
accepted the presidency of the Prussian
council is confirmed. It's reported in
parliamentary circles that Gen. Won
Caprivi visited Emperor William in
order to recommend Count Gutenberg
for the CHARACTERISTIC. as well as the
Prussian premiership. 1t is generally
believed that Gen. Won Caprivi's final
retirement is only matter of q few
months.
The entire press opposes the separa.
ton of the functions Of the chancellor
ship and the Prussian premiership, and
declares that Gen. Won Caprivi should
either retain tho dual position or retire
altogether.
Count Gutenberg is capable and elo-
quent, and is not likely to remain the
mere nominee of Gen. Won Caprivi. He
would probably exert as premier per.
sonal influence that would inevitably
lead to friction with the chancellor.
Chancellor Won Caprivi gavo an official
dinner this evening. Among the guests
were several members of the cabinet,
the principal diplom tic represen tatives,
and some members OF tho Bundesrath.

ABOUT TOURISTS.
Captain Seabury, of the China,
Thinks We DO Not
Want Them.

Almost everyone in Honolulu
believes in tourist travel-so much
so. that the Hawaiian Bureau of
Information was organized with
boom for the purpose of encourag-
ing people to visit our shores.
Captain Seabury, of the P. NJ. S.
S. China, is of the opinion that the
Health authorities are not in &C.
cord with the Bureau, and gives
his reasons for thinking so.
His vessel arrived off port shortly
after shutdown on Thursday even
ing with a clean bill of health,
and being importuned by the pas
sengers to be allowed to land, the
captain asked permission of the
Health authorities, imagining that
he would receive a reply within an
hour or so. In the meantime the
passengers had prepared them
selves to embark for the city with
the intention of remaining on shore
until the vessels departure they
waited, and waited, but yet no
answer came from the Health Off
Gals, so they were compelled to
remain on board the vessel until
10 o'clock yesterday morning,
when the necessary permit was
sent to the captain.
Between twenty and thirty tour.
lists came ashore and spent the day
in town, visiting the different points
of interest. Captain Seabury stated
that the Health authorities Offer
little encouragement for vessels te
stop at this port.

AN EXPLANATION.

Lest any in this community
should be COMPOUNDED or mislead
by the fact that a reputable jour
nal should defend through thick
and thin the unconstitutional
course into which the Queen has
been led by her evil advisers, it
seems proper to explain to the
public that the Bulletin is not an
independent journal, but simply
and solely the organ of the Palace
Party, financially controlled from
that quarter, and helplessly echo
ing it's opinions. The late utter
ances of that paper represent in
short, simply the view which Her
Majesty's present advisers take of
their own conduct. 1t would per-
haps be unsuitable to refer to the
editor in persona piece of jour
nalistic etiquette not apparently
understood, certainly not prac-
tised, by our contemporary-but
we cannot refrain from observing
that it would be grossly unjust to
hold him personally responsible
for the expressions of opinion re-
ferred to. We make this state
ment without a particle of malice,
and with the intention simply OF
putting the public in possession OF
the facts.
