EHS Fa0H HAWAII. Minister Wits iias Not Made
 Known lis Intentions.
CALLED ON BY THE QUEEN
The American League Tenders Him a Reception and He Makes An En- contagIns Address -Royalists Aver
 That Ltlioukaiani Will Reign.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 24.-Steamer Alameda, which left Honolulu shortly after the Australia, arrived here yester- day and brought the news that the pro- visional government was still intact and that up to the time of sailing Min ister Willis had made no intimation to the government of any special commu, nication with which he may be charged. It twas otknown if he has any. All sorts of strange rumors of Willis intentions were traced mostly to royal ist sources.
 The ex-queen called upon him shortly after his arrival, but Willis had not yet returned her visit. On the same day a committee from the American league teHdersd reception to Mr. Willis. Willis addressed them in diplomatic. but agreeable and encouraging terms, His phrase implying that bis action was limited by specific instructions was construed by royalists as meaning his positive instructions were to restore the queen.
 The royalists appeared in the streets in 8 more hoastful and aggressive mood

stevens and His Lecture.

Ex-United States Minister Stevens lectured at West Somerville, Mass. on the subject of Hawaii and Hawaiian Affairs.
 Alr Stevens very wisely and with exceeding good taste, be it said, re- trained from considering the matter from political standpoint. He simply stated facts as he understood them and the results following. The question before the public is one of fact as well as law. The ex-Minister may be right in his statements. Be that as it may, there are many who wish as it were to enter a demurrer to the evidence. Gran ting the statements iu regard to Liliou- kalinis polidy to be true, was it any of our business2 Had we, as a self-respecting, peace-preserving nation, any right to interfere simply because there was corruption in the affairs of a foreign power? The can be but one answer Certainly not
 Our Government was the worker of a great wrong. The fact that it affected a corrupt monarch is no justification Preparation must be made The world has seen an inter- national injury inflicted and it re- lies confidently upon the true Amer ican sense of justice to set it right Opposition to monarchial institu- tions can not be pleaded in extenua- tion, nor can it be urged as an excuse for inactivity at the present time President Cleveland applies the lief fersonian doctrine of equal and exact rights to all men, but privi- leges to none, in foreign as well as domestic relations.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM,

The civil service law is excellent in itself and it is designed to foster as much as possible non-partisan and faithful attention to the public interests. Last weeks issue of Good Gorcrnmeat contains an article addressed to the "hold-overs. ;" While unmistakably approving of the present law, it points out not only beneficial elements but also the inevitable result in case of abuse The idea advanced is undoubtedly correct. The Government employe who imagines that the statute was passed for his special benefit is woe fully mistaken. It was enacted for the benefit and protection of the Government alone and as a cheek upon the wholesale spells system, it is in every sence of the word a success. There is a tendency among some people to assume an independ- ent air and talk freely about being protected in their positions by the civil service law. Such a state of affairs is not the case and was never contemplated by the promoters of this great movement. To increase the facilities for better public ser vice and to guard against the per nicious effects of favoritism is the true mission of the law, and when a "hold-overn decides to run things his own way, the sooner he is remov- ed, "for the good of the service <, the better On the other hand there are those who appreciate the spirit and intent of the plan, and act accordingly. To them all honor is due. They deserve and will re- ceive all the just benefits accruing from a wise provision of the Gov nrnOpnt

 He said that he was not in position to make full and formal statement of his side of the ease, and with that un- derstanding talked freely. He denied in toto the charges, and declared that Blount had fallen into the trap Royalists had set for him, where they could watch every movement of his and know what he was going to do.

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-Thurston is not likely to receive his passports, al- though it is said at the state depart ment that there was abundant ground for such action. Were it in any other country. or in this country under any other circumstances. his passports would be issued immediately. It is claimed that his letter is breach of diplomacy and is amply sufficient to warrant the government in immedi- ately seyering relations with the Ha- waiian minister. Such action would be taken but for tho reason that the Amer ican people might not think it fair play, and that the right of any man to talk and give his side of the controversy is always conceaed
