BIsHOP POTTER on HAWAII

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Bishop Hen
ry C. Potter formally announced at
the morning service in Grace church
today that the object of his recent visit
to Honolulu and the Philippine Islands
was to extend the influence of the Prot
estant Episcopal church in the new pos
sessions of the United States Govern
ment. He said:
MY trip to Honolulu and the Philip
pines had for its object the extension
of the influence of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in those islands. My OBJ
servations convince me that the Irot-
estant Episcopal church should be eX-
tended in both Hawaii and the Phil
ippines and it is now the clear duty of
the English speaking people to see that
the Christian religion is firmly estab-
lished among the inhabitants Of those
Islands"
During his sermon the Bishop took
occasion to give an unqualified indorse-
ment to the policy of President McKin-
ley in the East especially praising him
for sending the ship of war to Taku,
China, for the purpose of protecting the
American missionaries in the province
of Shantung, whose lives are threaten
ed by the Boxers"

THE ITEMS ARE Approved.
ACTION TAKEN BY PRESIDENT
MCKINLEY.
Says Money for Postoffice and Customs
Bureaus May Be Used as Soon as
Passes Council Of State.

President Mckinley has approved in
advance the appropriations by the
Council of State of Money required for
the postal bureau and customs Depart
ment, so that as soon as the items are
passed the money will be available.
The information came in letter this
morning from Secretary Hay to Spec
ial Agent Sewall, and was communi-
Gated just before noon to President
Dole. The letter from Mr.. Sewall states
that the Government at Washington
had expressed its approval of action be-
ing taken by the local government, If
it was deemed necessary, in different
appropriations for the poSt0ffice and
customs bureaus made by the Council
of State without waiting for the ap
proval of the President.
President Dole and the ministers were
very much gratified at this turn OF
affairs, as it will save over a month in
getting the money required for two of
the most urgent purposes. The bills
in the Council of State will not De alter
ed, but will be passed as they are now.
Immediately thereafter, however, the
postal and customs items will be made
available by the Minister of Finance,
and the bills sent on for approval as to
the other items.
Lawyer Davis appeared and present
ed the claim of H. Zerbe for $72e, al
leged to be due as part of salary while
the petitioner was employed in the Gus
tom house. This is an old matter. Af-
ter listening to the argument the claim
was taken under consideration.
John Prendergast presented claim
of road board employees for work done
in Koolauloa in 1891 and 1892, amounting
to $295.75 This claim was incurred in
the last days of the monarchy 1t ap-
pears from the Interior office records

workmen did not get their money,
The $100 bond given by a Japanese,
who had been refused landing in

ONWARD 70 PRETORIA
GETTING EVERYTHING READY TO
ADVANCE.
Dutch Revolt in Cape Colony Subdued.
Bloemfontein a Base of Operations.
Free Staters are Surrendering.

LONDON, March 21.-News from the
front yesterday was favorable to the
British arms. The Dutch revolt in Cape
Colony is practically over, and Lcrd
Kitchener has entered Prieska without
opposition. Kenhardt, the other center
of the movement, is likely to submit as
tamely
General Brabant is moving on Rout-
Vile. Free State burghers continue to
surrender. ..
Meanwhile supplies are being accu-
mulated, and Bloemfontein is convert
ed into a great base for the next ad-
vance. When the right moment ar
rives three armies are likely to be put
in movement, the main force under
Lord Roberts in the center, marching
on Kroonstadt; the right wing, under
General Butler, threatening the line of
Biggarsberg, and probably making a
great turning movement via Vryheid
and to the north, and the left wing,
under either Lord Methuen or Lord
Kitchener, advancing to Klerksdorp
and Potchefstroom. #-r
In consequence of the Boer threats to
destroy the town of johannesburg and
the plants of the surrounding gold
mines, her Majesty's Government has
resolved to issue proclamation at
once in South Africa, holding the mem
bers of the Transvaal executive council
responsible for acts committed contrary
to the usages of civilized people. The
proclamation will give formal effect to
the warning conveyed by President
Kruger to Mr.. Chamberlain some time
ago.
A Rhodeslan field force 5000 strong;
is to be commanded by Sir Frederick
Darlington, whose mission 1t will be
to prevent any Boer trek from the
TransVaal.
Ladysmith garrison should be ready
to resume service about the beginning
of April. General Butler will then have
a force of four infantry divisions and
one cavalry division, besides a large
number of colonial mounted infan-
try, in all, about 10000 men, with
120 guns. He win thus be stronger than
the whole Boer army now in the left
field. His task will be to turn the Big
garsberg defenses and then advance di-
rect upon the Transvaal, occupying the
attention of a large number of OBers
to the east, while Lord Roberts moves
on Pretoria. By that time Lord Rob-
erts will have been reinforced by Gen
erals Clements, Gatacre and Brabant,
and will have about 10000 men and zoo
guns. With the country to the rear
pacified, and with complete control of
the railway running direct to Cape
Town, Port Elizabeth and East London,
facilitating the transport of supplies,
the advance may be exceedingly rapid.

NOT HIGHBINDERs.
Alleged Rules Are Not Those of the
Bow Wong. Ata5

Editor Star: The Advertiser devotes
considerable space to the discussion of
Chinese highbinders, which is all very
well as far as 1t goes, and 1 am Just
as strongly opposed to them as any
body. But the Advertiser is attempt
ing to connect the Bow Wong Progress
sive Association of the Hawaiian Is
lands, with some other and entirely diff
ferent Chinese society.
There probably are highbinder so
cieties in the United States, but that
is no reason for saying that the Bow
Wong Progressive Association is one
of that class.
The rules printed by the Advertiser
have nothing whatever to do with the
Chinese Society now applying for a
charter. The society has no articles,
rules or bylaws as yet, the same not
having been prepared.
The Advertiser seems to forget, or
does not know, that the Government
can take away any charter granted by
it if proper cause can be shown.
One thing seems certain, and that is,
that the Advertiser knows more about
the Bow Wong Progressive Association
than the association itself, does.
The statement that the leading Chi
nese are opposed to the granting of a
charter is one of those generalities that
proves nothing.

Captain Houdlette of the Mariposa,
reports that the Australia probably has
a fifteen days absolute quarantine
ahead of her at San Francisco. When
he left that was the intention of the
authorities, and Mess they have
changed their Minis nee then the Aus
tralia with her bis iiSt of passengers
is now in quarantine. She left here on
the goth of this month, and if she has
to stand a quarantine of Is days, will
not be able to get here on time in April
The quarantine officials at San Fran
cisco have got quite a plague scare since
the reported cases in Chinatown, and
the case of sickness on the Gaelic. The
treatment of the latter vessel is re-
ported as something quite remarkable.
The sick Chinese was said by the doc
tor on the ship to have consumption,
and this diagnosis was confirmed at
San Francisco. Then it was said that
he was a plague suspect, and at last
that he really had consumption. The
vessel was released on the 18th and will
probably be here on time She is ex
pected tomorrow afternoon or evening.
