true that even Ohio Democrats will be
surprised that President Cleveland
selected him 10 fill this position. 1t
may be stated in Harmon's favor,
however, that he is regarded by those
who know him as an able lawyer, and
will probably be a successful head of
the Department of Justice until the
term of President Cleveland expires.
The transfer of Attorney General
Olney to the head of the State Depart
ment created 40 surprise, as it has
been we'll understood for several days
that Mr.. Olney would succeed to the
first place in the Cabinet, made vacant
by the death of Secretary Gresham.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE first
official intimation of the appointment
Of William r. Castle as Hawaiian
Minister to this country was received
at the State Department today when
a dispatch was received from Minister
Willis to that effect. Now the ques-
ton has arisen as to whether Castle
will be persona non grata to the Ad-
ministration. He wrote a letter to
Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, last
February, in which he gave utterance
to the opinion that there would have
been no uprising of the royalists in
Hawaii had it not been for the con-
viction of the Queens adherents that
they would have the moral support of
the Government at Washington"
No attention was paid to the letter
at the time, for the reason that Castle
was simply a citizen of Hawaii, and
Senator Kyle was not part of the
executive branch of the Government
of the United States. Now that the
writer of the letter has been appointed
to a position that brings him into
close relationship with the Govern
ment, it may be necessary to take
notice of his opinions. There is a
feeling, however, that the Govern
ment has had it's fill of the Hawaiian
business, and will not do anything to
stir up the unfavorable criticism which
was passed upon it in the early days
of the island republic.

Generally Presumed That Hastings
Would be Named for the Position.
~ WASHINGTON, June 8.-The desig-
nation of William r. Castle by the
Hawaiian Government to succeed
Lorrin A. Thurston as Minister to the
United States came as a surprise to
the diplomatic corps. It has been
rather generally presumed in Wash
ington that Frank p. Hastings, who
came to Washington as Secretary of
the Legation and has acted as Charge
d'Affaires since the return to Honolulu
of Mr.. Thurston, would be promoted
to the position.
But TOR the particular interest which
the Hawaiian people feel in maintain
ing the most friendly relations with
the United States, it is not unlikely
that the legation would have been left
for a longer time Officered only by a
charge, that being the usual method
of allowing an international unpleas-
ness to heal when a government does
not wish to admit its representative,
who has been declared persona non
grata, is at fault.

Searching for Opium

VICTORIA (B. c., June 1O.-The
Hawaiian mail, which arrived on the
WarrimoO, states a revenue cutter
with diver on board has gone to Mo-
lokai island to look for opium supposed
to have been sunk by the schooner
Norma, which sailed from here last
fall.
1t is pretty generally believed that
the Norma had opium on board when
she left, and it is believed that the
owners have not yet realized on it,
although one of them spent all win
ter in Hawaii. 1t is just possible that
it was cached off MOlokai, and is still
there.

the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, on appeal, to refund all taxes
