The Australian ballot law has now
been in operation in this state at two
general elections, and it has more than
met the expectations of its trainers.
While deprecating too frequent and
radical changes in this important law,
there are points for further improve
ment in extending it's provisions for the
secrecy Of the ballot, and the law itself
should be made to cover all parts Of the
state without exception.

marked by no tragic occurrences. AT
sunrise things had looked revolutionary
At moonrise they seemed as peaceful as
day dream, except for the prospect
that Mr.. Willis would be "heard from
in forty-eight hours.
1t had spread among the natives and
Chinese that war was actually in pro
gress and it was amusing to watch their
antics ON the outskirts of the city.
Several Cinnamon were heard talking
excitedly over il. "Men down town

and then they all chartered like magpies
Several lei women came down the
Nuuanl-street hill about o a. m, but on
hearing that the streets of Honolulu
were running blood they skeddadled on
the rearward track so fast that they
looked like fitting fat phantoms of
fear. A banana mule train halted near
the cemetery on the drivers hearing the
news and unloaded then and there.
No money could have induced the mule
men to 20 another inch towards the
business center of Honolulu. AS soon
az the bananas were dumped the drivers
speeded towards the Pail and long after
they were out of sight they were heard
to whiz.
After the STAR went to press the news
came out that the British Minister had
asked and received permission to land
troops in case of trouble. He desired
them to be quartered at or near the lie.
CATION. 1t was supposed that Consul
General Fujii would make "a a similar
request at an early date. He did so this
morning.
Yesterday afternoon the Provisional
Government addressed a note to Minis
ter Willis asking an explanation of his
course. This, it was reported this
morning, would be replied to by the
Minister in person this afternoon. 1t
was said that he would also interrogate
the Government about the dismissal of
police and soldiers for not being willing
to fire on Americans.
Many people have been to see the Min
lister during the past few days. To one
OF these he is reported to have said that
he thought it would be for the interests
of the country to accept Mr.. Cleveland's
views; that, as the Democratic party
was certain to be in power at least

be carried out, etc.

Office of the Board of Health,

Honolulu, December 10, 1893
Owing to the existence of Scarlet
Fever on the Island of Hawaii the
Board of Health deems it necessary for
the information of the public to publish
the following:
SIGNS OF SCARLET FEVER.
Scarlet fever first shows itself with
headache, vomiting, sore throat, and
high fever. Within twelve or twenty
four hours, fine bright scarlet rash APP
pears on the face and upper part of the
body, soon spreading over the whole
surface. After the third day it fades.
After the eighth day the skin begins TO
peel in fine scales on the body often in
large flakes from the hands and feet.
This scaling lasts from four to six weeks.
There is danger of spreading from the
time of the appearance of the rash until
the skin has entirely peeled off. The
flakes of dry skin are especially danger
GUS in spreading the disease.
Any person showing the early signs
before mentioned should be immediate
ly reported to the health officials.

President of the Board of Health.

Ex-policeman James McEvoy of San

Thursday, says that the Hawaiian ques-
ton was the one theme of discussion in
San Francisco when he left.
"A few weeks ago." said he, "about
the only way one knew of the existence
of political problem in the Islands was
by reading the newspapers, but when l
left the question had permeated every
where. At hotels, in street cars and
wherever people assembled Cleveland
was the subject Of vigorous denuncia-
ton. Whatever mans politics were,
there was agreement on the one propo-
sition that an attempt to restore a mon
archy would be an act of political van
dalism and an insult to American cit
izens"
