Deception of DIR. Eyster.

The council had no sooner adj
iourncd that night than ne hunted up
DR.. Eyster, heartily congratulated
him on his confirmation. told him he
was his favorite all along. and that ii
was 4 source of qualification to him
TO know that the council had failed to
sustain DIR. kinyon's appointment.
The next day he met DIR. kinyon. eN-
tended his sympathies and regrets to
him on the fact that he had not been
endorsed by the council and told him
it was a put up job on the part of DR..
Eyster and his friends to prevent his
(Kinyon's) confirmation. and put him
in n position where could not consiS-
tently do otherwise than name Eys-
fer

Then going to DIR. kinyon. McCon-
ochie told him how DR.. Eyster was
working among certain of the alder
men to defeat his confirmation, and
assured him that while he would be
only too happy to appoint him. he
was fearful that DR.. Evster. who was
leaving no stone unturned to retain
the office, was working to defeat his
confirmation, and that of course if he
DIR. Kinvon) was not confirmed he
could not do reasonably otherwise
than reappoint DR.. Eyster. Having
thus squared himself with both Drs.
Eyster and kinyon. as he supposed,
he awaited the results. When the
council met he appointed DR.. kinyon.
The vote OF the council on the confir-
nation stood Z to Z. and the mayor
stated he would not east the deciding
vote to confirm his own appoint
ments. Thereupon he appointed DR..
EVStcr. who was confirmed.

the talk did about "raising the royal
standard" and the arrival Of four vessels
of the Australian fleet.
The natives should understand that
the United States is not considering
the matter of restoration at all. The
only questions before 1.-THE only ones
which Colonel Blount is likely to report
upon-are whether the conditions here
are such as to justify the United States
in taking Hawaii or whether it would
be best to leave the country TO its own
devices.
These are the facts as they are knowr
to the very men who delude the native:
with the opposite idea. 1t will pay oui

A WORD TO THE NATIVES.

The natives owe it to their own peace
of mind to give no further credence to
the infammatory tales told them by
royalist leaders about coming restor-
alton.
There is to be no restoration of the
ex-Queen or accession of the Princess.
The statement made by Colonel Blount
to the visiting Hawaiian ladies this
morning that he was here merely to re-
port upon the condition of the islands
and upon the views of the people living
on them, ought to put at rest all the
bounding fancies about return of Ii
liuokalani to power under his official
auspices. No doubt some of the royal
ist leaders will continue to predict such
an outcome of the American mission.
but it will all end in prediction just as

a WASHINGTON journal puts the gist
of Hawaiian politics into a nutshell as
follows:
Our government cannot restore hel
as queen without much worse inter
ference than would be involved in an
nexation. The Provisional Govern
ment is in full control at Honolulu, anC
our government could neither recog
nize nor treat with any other as long az
that is the case, if it wished to do so
Pity might dictate another course, per
haps, but international law, unfortunate
ly for the Queen, does not.
We commend the above to tn,
Hawaiian Patriotic League to be spread

WILL SUSPEND SOON.
The Dredger May Stop for Lack of
Sufficient Funds.

From present prospects the govern
ment dredger will discontinue opera
tons soon, owing to shortage of funds
to carry on the job. This is a misfor.
tune, as the work Of deepening the
harbor and channel is imperative in
order to allow the larger craft to enter
this port with safety.
The dredger, in charge of Captain
Smith, is now at work off the Pacific
mail dock and has deepened to depth
of 20 feet at low water mark-the regu-
lation depth-fur a distance of $50
feet already, at that place. The dredger
is now delving in black sand, princi-
pally, although strings Of coral reef are
occasionally encountered. Along the
present work the dredger has cut away,
at times as much as 20 feet of coral,
although but six and ten feet is the
average.
The dredger is eXcavating from with,
in six feet of the dock where the average
depth of the water at lowest tide is 81
feet, and is working outward 50 feet,
the water deepening gradually until at
that distance the requisite depth is
found. In this sand the dredger ex-
cavates "heet"-4 feet-about every
three hours while in coral the work is
much slower.
A visit TO the dredger yesterday
morning Vile the vacuum chamber OF
the SIc,on pipe was being cleaned re-
warded the scribe with number of old
coins Of various denominations and
countries while knives, bones, oar locks
shells and varied assortment of articles
were taken from the receptacle. Con
siderable money has been found in thi:
as has some curious relics of former
days. A fine gold watch was lost neal
where the dredger's nose now is, three
years ago, by an English skipper, anC
Operating engineer McCubbin is on tn,
alert for it; however, its value as a tim,
piece must be destroyed ere this Will

George Butler, Canon of Winchester
Cathedral, was the son of Doctor But
Ter, head-master of Harrow. The boy
grew up to be a dignified and serious
man, power in philanthropy and the
church, but that he had demure sense
of humor is shown by one anecdote of
his earliest years. Doctor Butler wore
fine suit of black, with knee-breeches
and cloth CATERS, and with his powder
ed hair was figure calculated to move
any school-boy to admiration and awe.
One morning, little George watched
him, as he set out for school, and OBJ,
served that his father wore only one
CATER. When Doctor Butler returned,
he said to the lad: "You were here,
George, when l went away this morn
ing. Didn't you see that l had only
one CATER" "Yes, papa" "Then
why didn't you tell me ?" Because,
answered George, innocently, 81 thought
