edly challenged. He stated in
New York two years ago that

Why? Because Sullivan was still

which had been called before the ad-
journment OF the last regular meeting,

business aud was devoted TO matters of
minor Importance and Of little interest
TO the public. For the position OF as
sistaut matron OF the hospital there were
some fifteen applicants, some OF whom
were strongly endorsed and consider
able pressure was brought TO bear upon
the board In the interest Of some OF

HoNoLULU. January 6.-Since the
sailing OF the City OF Peking, at 1880 %.
M, yesterday, but little OF im-
portance has trauspired hero.
When President Dole was applied to
this morning at o'clock, he stated
briefly that there was nothing new In
the political situation and probably
would not be for some time To come.
IL is Known, however, that for the last
4S hours Minister Thurston has been
closeted with President Dole ard did
not leave until a. m. to-day, when he
went at ouce TO the Executive building,
whence he will drive directly to the
steamer Australia, TO sail at noon.
Thurston carries very full instruc-
tions on the Hawaiian question and
these are supplemented by a dozen or
more atidavits which, IL Is said, will
clear up mauy points in Blount's re-
port and IL is claimed. set the Hawaiian
people Ia proper light before the peo-
pie Of the United States.
The American League held pro-
longed meeting last night At which IL
was determined TO force the appoint
ment OF Walter q. Smith, OF the star TO
a position In the Advisory Council aud
tempt To place either a missionary or a
representative o! the plantation Inter
ests In the position that they will inn
mediately announce their determination
10 cease 10 support tho Provisional
government. From all that can be
learned this morning II is quite
evident that the aggressive
element OF the country is
Ia the forefront OF the present political
movement, aud that Americanism Will
hereafter be used as test OF trust
woTthiness ia public affairs. There is
little doubt that this present movement
Is at last feeling the force OF tho popu-
lar demand for representation which
foreigners never had under the mon
archy and which they could not secure
under the restoration OF missionary
rule.
This claim IS now boldly set up
the foreigners representing the me-
chanical and laboring elements Of
Hawaii, exclusive of plantations, and
their demand IS being backed by both
popular appeals and secret organiza-
tions. The latest OF these latter is one
composed OF German residents. almost
every member Of which belongs to tho
American League.
In an interview with Minister Thurs
ton within n few minutes he stated
that his return TO Hawaii was 20 get
In touch again with the people. Mr.
Thurston claims TO have secured the
object OF his visit, while many
OF his constituents claim that he
Is going away with flea
In his ear as TO the future OF "the
American idea" which IL Is proposed
To substitute for "the missionary idea"
that has formerly dominated here.
Both factions, however. are united on
the proposition that there Is 20 be no
restoration.

He was discharged this noon and re-

revolver and threatened to shoot, and
then went out on the street. Officer
kitchen was called and when he
attempted 10 arrest Salmortutz, the
latter stepped back and fred three
shots In rapid succession directly at the
officer. The bystauders noticed that
Kitchen was badly hurt, aud they
grabbed the fellow from behind and
took him to jail, followed by a large
crowd OF angry people who made
threats OF lynching.
When placed 10 cell the wOuld-be
