WASHINGTON May 22.-Some question
has been raised as to the present com
potency Of Mr.. Blount to discharge the
duties Of United States minister to Ha-
waH, owing TO the peculiar circumstances
surrounding his appointment, which. Of
course involves the validity and force Of
all that ne has done. Inquiry at the De
partment Of State establishes clearly the
fact that at least no doubt is
entertained I'm respect 10 these points.
As soon as Mr. BlOunt receives the no
tice Of his appointn ent, which will be
"envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary TO the Government of Hawaii"
he may so before the nearest United
States consular Office and take the oath
of office. From that moment his salary
as minister begins. Under usual practice
he would not be competent 10 discharge
the duties of minister until ne has pre-
sented his credentials TO the Provisional
Government and these credentials have
not yet reached him. But If the Hawaiian
Government is disposed to waive that for
Wality, and such acts Of courtesy are by
no means infrequent in diplomatic usage,
ne would be accorded all the rights and
privileges OF minister as soon as the no.
tice was conveyed 10 the Hawaiian Gov
ernment Of his appointment In addition
