st. AnthonN's hospital

Bishop Zardetti. of the diocese of
St. Cloud, who spent Saturday with
Rev. Father Mackin, visited the hos
pital. The mother-house of the
Franciscan sisters is located in this
diocese. Through him it was learned
that the sisters are sent out as mis-
siUnaries. and that the mother-house
is not supported by the hospitals.
The house is only used as home for
the good women who devote their
lives to the sick. In case they should
be taken sick themselves the hospital
must, under the circumstances. be
necessarily self-supporting. The
mother-house Is supported by its
own diocese, and with this end in
view the sisters in few weeks will
again visit the good people of Rock
Island, for assistance, and sincerely
hope to find them as kindly disposed
as before. They not only ask for
money to pay off the debt on the hos
pital, but also for groceries and also
clothing, for the inmates of the hos
pital, permission to do this having
been given by Bishop Zarketti and
Bishop Spaulding. The mother su-
perior OF the order is now at the hos
pital on a short visit, and expresses
herself as well pleased with the work
which has been accomplished, but
regrets very much that the financial
condition is such as to prevent the

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
How Vacancies in it Will be Filled by the
Government.

For several days leaders of the anti
annexation factions have circulated
rumors that the Provisional Govern
ment had taken a stand regarding
civil appointments favorable to the
royalist faction in Honolulu. 1t has
been persistently said that snCh a po-
icy was announced by President Dole
in answer to demands made by Com
mittee of one appointed to wait upon
him by some newly organized, or
about-to- be-organized semi-politiCal
movement.
An investigation proves that these
rumors started from personal inter
view which occurred a few days ago
between a local newspaper reporter
and the President.
The interview was substantially as
follows President Dole was asked
what was the attitude of the Provisional
Government regarding appointments.
The substance of the reply was that
''the competency of the candidate or
official will be considered first of all
things, either in appointments or re.
movals, If man has proved good
official, and, even though opposed to
the policy Of the government, he re-
mains passive in political matters, it
would not be considered sufficient
grounds for removal, as the Civil SER
vice would undoubtedly suffer through
such a course 1t is the intention OF
the Executive in filling official vacan
cies to give precedence to the sym
pahizers and supporters of the govern
ment, provided suitable men ar
available at the time, or can be found

BRITONS TOO EAGER.
The Administration Doesn't Like English
Meddling.

CHICAGO. March 18-A Washing
ton special says: English intrigues in
Hawaii may cause a change in the
administrations policy. There was a
raising of eyebrows in official circles
over the dispatches which told how
the Royalists were looking for support
from English interests and how Major
Wodehouse, the British Minister, was
seeking to discredit the provisional
Government. His meddIing was
natural enough, for he has all along
been in favor of the Queen, 1t does
not seem to have occurred to some Off
Gals here that there was any meddling
by another Englishman.
Davies, the guardian of Princess Ka-
iulani, on coming to Washington on. a
self appointed mission, has been given
plenty of unofficial encouragement here
and has shown his delight at the appar-
ent unfriendliness of CleveIand's ad-
ministration to annexation. Davies is
the agent at Honolulu of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. 1t was he who secured
the rejection of the treaty negotiated by
Blaine, but his present intrigues are not
so dangerous as those Of the British
Minister in Honolulu, and the adm mis-
ration seems to recognize this.
Prince David of Hawaii, who went
to Washington to intercede in behalf
of Queen Liliuokaani, is here on his
return journey. He expresses the be-
lief that the Queen will be restored tc
power
Washington, March 49, Hawaiian
matters were again discussed at the
Cabinet meeting The result took the
form Of two typewriter pages of add
tional instructions to Commissioner
Blount. The most that can be made
out of it is that additional instructions
were made necessary in the light of tht
last news from Hawaii. 1t is believed
the reports indicating increased activity
on the part of the English have prompt
ed a change in previous instructions, Sc
as to offset any inroads that may b,
made upon the influence maintained
up to that time by the American re
personalities at Honolulu.

they are around" And keep still he
did; although he cordially invited the
STAR man to visit him at the hotel as
soon as the party were comfortably at
home ashore.
Mrs. Blount is a charming lady of
elegant manners, and, like Mrs. Cleve-
land, she wins the heart on sight and
leaves lasting impression that she is
of a gentle and gracious character Of
that type which has made the southern
women noted the world over She was
dressed this morning in a travelling
suit of black and as she sat in her
cabin talking pleasantly with the Ameri-
can Minister and Consul Severance,
the visitors to the Rush were all agreed
that her stay in Honolulu would greatly
add to the deep interest already attach
ing to the visit of the Commission, as
wellas to the general social conditions
accompanying the event.
The Rush brought a small private
newspaper and letter mail for the United
States ships in port. She came down
in nine days under sail and steam,
making about 2 knots an hour. Com
missioner Blount says he enjoyed the
trip greatly, and that he is sure he shall
see and learn much of personal as well
as of public interest during his stay in
the Paradise of the Pacific. eve left
San Francisco on last Monday week
ago at quarterp past one clock said
Colonel Blount, "and have not miss.
ed a meal and don't intend to, as long
as l can find enough to eat. Yes we
enjoyed the trip but at times it was a
little rough owing to head seas; but the
Rush is a good sailer and was made
very comfortable for us. l shall expect
to gather all the information | can
while in the islands and am very favor
ally impressed with what l have seen
so far.
The arrival of the Rush was the
signal for the starting of all sorts OF
wild rumors against annexation, and,
as usual, most of these came from ma.
tive sources. Among others it was re.
ported that the Instructions of Com.
missioner Blount were to withdraw the
Boston's troops, haul down the Ameri
can flag and then enter into new
negotiations with whatever government
came to the top, as the Survival oil
the fittest. The credulity of the
natives caused many congratulations
among members of the "PatriotiC" and
royalist leagues; and some of the better
known leaders of these faCtional move
ments even went SO far as to encourage
the average native in his delusion and
thereby stimulate, if possible, the wan
ing opposition to annexation.
As the Rush came to anchor this
morning in the stream before swinging
into her place in naval row, the Ha
waiian band which had been stationed
aboard the steamer Australia suddenly
struck up the Star Spangled Banner
The music drew general attention tC
the big steamer which was crowded
with people and was gaily decorated
with American and Hawaiian flags.
This afternoon at one o'clock Com
missioner Blount and party, accom-
panied by the American Minister, lief
the Rush and were soon at the boa
landing where they entered wagonett
and were driven to the Snow Cottag
at the Hawaiian Hotel, where they ar,
at present domiciled.
