After holding it back for many
months, Mr.. Mckinley has issued his
much advertised order modifying the
civil service rules. 1t doesn't appear
to please anybody overmuch. It ex-
cepts total of somewhere in the neigh
borhood of four thousand places from
the operation of the civil service rule,
but as most of those places are already
filled by republicans, it will make COM
paratively little new patronage for the

Mr.. Bryan Talks Sense.

In an interview at Chicago on Thurs

that the Democratic National Conven-
ton will "reafirm the Chicago plat
form. But he added that "no man
has right at this time to say what the
democratic platform will be. You do
not know what the next twelve months
will bring forth" And when asked,
"Will free silver be the dominant issue
in the next campaign" he replied: "It
is altogether too early to say what will
be the dominant issue, but whatever
the issue is the democratic party will
meet it squarely."
This is soundsense. 1t is entirely nat

No surprise was caused in Washing
ton by Senator Platt's hat-foOted decla-
ration that Mckinley and Hobart
would be re-nominated. So far as
Mckinley is concerned, Plat has been
mortgaged since early in the present
administration; his endorsement of
Hobart means that if he ever had any
idea of helping to get Roosevelt second
place on the ticket, it has been aban-
doned, but whether because he wasn't
pleased with Roosevelt or whether the
latter wasn't pleased with the idea Of
second place, is a matter of conjecture,
but the former is more likely to be
true. The declaration of Senator Pen
rose, who is Boss Quay's man ani
mouth piece, in favor of Mckinley
denomination is nothing more than Q
bid for administration help for Quay

Secretary Alger has been putting his
foot in it again. Several days ago he
caused an order to be issued by the
war department, instructing the mill
tary authorities in Cuba to give clear
ances to Cuban vessels under the Cuban
flag, and at the same time stating that
the vessels flying the Cuban flag would
not be under American protection. As
there is no Cuban government, there
can be no recognized Cuban flag; hence
the order strikes the average man as
ludicrous. Somebody called Mr.. Nc
Kinley's attention to the order and he
directed that it be referred to the at.
torney general for an opinion. This
opinion, it is expected, will knock the
order out. 1t might answer for Cubar
vessels to go from one Cuban port tC
another, under such a clearance, bu
in any port outside of Cuba, the mas
ters of such vessels would be OF any

The fire whistle blew at little
after the noon hour today. An
alarm had been turned in from
Kuakini street. No. 2 engine
company went up Nuuanu on the
fly and made a fine turn over on
Kuakini. No 2 followed little
later but, for some unknown
reason, only went as far as Kua-
KIM street and then turning
around, returned to town. No. 2
kept going and very soon found
that there was a big blaze near
Liliha street. A shanty in the
midst OF taro patches on the makai
side of the street was in flames.
Nothing could be done ~ the
place had all but burned to the
ground. However a hose was run
out to prevent sparks from flying
to the other houses near by.
Absolutely nothing but a trunk
and a chtir were saved from the
flames. A poor half clad Chinese
woman sat on the edge of one of
the taro patches crying as if her
heart would break. The shanty
had been her home. Her hus-
band was down at Q. FL. Berry's
house attending to his regular
duties as cook and the woman
with her children had been the
only ones in the house. 1t seems
that the latter got hold of some
matches aud began playing with
them. A fire was soon started
and in a few minutes, the whole
place was in flames. Fortunately
there were friends about and these
succeeded in getting the children
to a place of safety. All Sung,
the husband knew nothing of the
misfortune that had befallen him
until telephoned to from the
BULLETIN Office about fifteen
minutes after his place had been
burned to the ground.
