The Chinese Minister at Washington
May be Called Home.
San Francisco, June 26.--Chinese ad-
vices by the steamer China state that at
council convened to discuss the Geary
act Prince Ching and two other members
of the Yemen, proposed recalling the
Chinese minister at Washington in the
event of the United States enforcing the
act. A statement is also made that it
was at one time intended that the de-
parture of He Yang Ju for the United
States should be delayed until something
had been done to repeal the obnoxious
clauses of the act. The instruc-
tions sent to Kou Yin at Wash
ington were that he was
to return to China on the expiration of
his term without waiting for his sue
cessor. 1t is said that the principal
reason for the recent Hong Kong procla-
nation against the sale Of American oil,
is that it is the first of retaliatory
measures against everything American.
Canton and Swatow are expected to fol-
low suit soon.

Hunt for Offices.
Washington, June &C. Gen. Catchings,
of Mississippi, who was a prominent
member of the House committee on rules
in the last congress, is quoted as saying
that the code of the next House will be
radically improved and that fillibustering
will be a sacred right of the past This
semi-ofticial announcement is a welcome
one, for last winters legislation was out
rageously interfered with, and quite often
defeated by a handful Of republicans I'M
der the leadership of Tom Reed. There
are more congressman in the city Just now
than at any time since President Cleve-
land was inaugurated. The fact that the
President is about to abandon Washington
for his summer cottage in New England
has brought great many of the states
men to town on various missions.
GEORGIA AFFAIRS QUIET.
Georgia affairs are very quiet. The
Milledgeville post office matter was set
tied today by the nomination of Chauncey
M. Wright, who was supported by Repre-
sentative Cabaniss. Capt. Tom Newell,
the defeated candidate, was backed by
both the senator's and other strong in
fluences, but Mr. Wright seemed to have
the best local Endorsements and so he has
the office.
Representative Russell got in Job lot
of business today for his district He saw
Mr.. Bissell and that official promised him
to depOse Postmaster Brimberry at AL
bany very soon and give the town dem
ocratic postmaster. Capt. Y. G.. Ruske
will succeed to the Office. The Thomas
vile and Dawson offices will likewise re-
ceiVe early attention and democrats will
manage their postal affairs.
TO GET AN 81, 800 BERTH.
y. J. Williams, of Bainbridge was
docketed today for an 81 800 clerkship in
the interior department and young L. S.
Guerny of Dawson, son of Judge
Guerny, received nice appointment at
the hands of the public printer.
Representative Livingston was around
and about today endeayoring to fix some
of his constituents in the various depart
ments. The fact that the big interior
department is closed against applicants
with the colonels Endorsement places
him at decided disadvantage.

H1aaINsoN sELF-w1LLED.
He Makes Formal Application to Be
Restored to His Command.

Washington, June 26.-Capt. Higginson,
late of the Cruiser Atlanta, has failed to
adopt either of the suggestions made to
him by Secretary Herbert as means TO r
settlement of his case, but instead he has
taken a course of his own that may bring
the matter to a speedy issue The cap
tain was relieved of the command of the
Atlanta for two reasons:
First, because he had been tardy in
Obeying orders to sail; and, second, be-
cause he had communicated on the sub
iect with a bureau officer. In response to
his verbal explanation last week, Score
tary Herbert suggested that he make a
written statement of his case, or else ask
for court of inquiry. The captain, how
ever, has done neither of these things,
but has made formal application to be
restored to command of his ship. This
action puts new phase on the case, as 1t
places the secretary under the necessity
of taking action looking to an official in
quiry, if one shall be deemed necessary.

BLOUNT VISITS A CRATER.
The Annexation Party DiStTuStful Of
the Minister.

The Government Informed of a Royal
ist Plot to Fire Honolulu, Blow Up
the Waterworks With Dynamite and
Seize the Government Buildings
The Government Prepared to Frus-
trate Any Such Attempt.
San Francisco, June 26--The steamer
China, from Hong Kong, May 30, and
Yokohama, June 8, arrived this morning
with the following advices from Honolulu;
Minister Blount returned on June IL from
his five days trip to Mari. He visited
the Haleakala crater and the principal
plantations. Mr.. Cornwall got up a
meeting of royalists for the benefit of
Minister Blcunt.
Charles Nordheff returns home on the
81. The annexation party regard him
with suspicion, and are distrustful of
Minister Blount, who seems to encourage
him.
The government are we'll advised of a
royalist plot to fire the town and dyna-
mite the waterworks, and in the confus-
ion to seize the government buildings.
Efficient measures have been taken to
Illustrate any such attempt.
A meeting of the American citizens in
Honolulu to arrange for the usual celebra-
tion OF July was held at the Arlington
house on June II, and an extensive pro-
gramme was adopted The meeting was
called by the United States minister, who
was, however, too busy to attend in per-
son.
DEsPAIRING OF ANNEXATION.
The latest advices from Washington
are generally felt in Honolulu to be I'M
orahle to an early attainment of an
| nexation. Ultra royalists are 1ubilant,
while the more thoughtful ones see that
this only means a consolidation of the
provisional government into per-
manent form supported by the great body
of the tax payers and property
owners. A prominent royalist intimated
that there will soon be a general clamor
for annexation among the natives, who
| who will discover themselves left with
| little voice in the remodeled government
| A special cabinet meeting was held this
noon, June 10, continuing an hour and a
| half, at which Minister Blount and his
| secretary were present.
| The libel suit brought by Claus Speckels
| against Walter G. Smith, editor of the
annexation organ, will be tried at the
! June term of the supreme court. The
| action was brought because of an allegory
which appeared in the Star, the moral
of which was that no man is rich enough
| to safely engage in seditious enterprises
| against the government, which has power
| to seize his person and property.
