Strike That Failed.

superintendent of Public Works w.
e. Rowell was requested by Col. Bar
Der yesterday to hire gang of native
Hawaiians at 81 each per day to clear
up the land and help in preparing the
temporary camp of the New York gar
risOn beyond KapiOlani Park. When
the men found they were to work for
the United States they struck in body
and demanded 81 a day-not for po-
litical reason but because they thought
the Government was rich and should
pay it. Mr.. RoweIl headed the strike
off by discharging the first men and
hiring another gang at 81 per day each.

APPOINTMENTS TO
BE MADE HERE.
Minor Positions Will be Filled
Same as Before.

Same as Before.
The terms of office of about all the
District Judges in the Islands expire
on the first of next month. This brings
to the administration at once the ques-
ton of appointments under the new
political condition. These district
judges will continue in their positions
At the Cabinet meeting yesterday
forenoon it was decided, after much
discussion, to make minor appoint
ments here the same as before the flag
change. An inquiry on the subject
will go forward to Washington today
The Interpretation of the Cabinet here
on the proclamation so far as it ap-
pears to apply is that President Nc
Kinley does not propose to handle the
minor offices here but only, in accord
ance with the proclamation, to fill such
vacancies as he may himself create.
There are three vacancies at present
in the Park Commission. Paul Isen-
berg resigned when he became a mem
Der of the Legislature. The terms of
Frank Hustace and e. S. Cunha have
expired.
A member of the ministry here said
yesterday that in the matter of ap-
pOintments it was believed that Presi-
dent Mckinley intended that the
chiefs of departments should continue
to select their officials the same as
under the old flag Otherwise there
would be much business confusion, liz
Guiding often waits of many months.
