Governor Dole has appointed Lorrin

lcant by the resignation of the present

considered good as far as the Governor
and the select family compact" are
ccncerned, but, TO the people, it is II
matter of surprise that the appointing
power could be so simple as TO let the
mantle of that all-impbrtant Office fall
Upon such narrow shoulders, And hav-
ng there fallen, and he being also the
.hoice by recommendation of the Re-
publican Executive, SO we are in
cimed, the Territorial chief will have

appointment, in so far as the Hawaiian
I;eople are concerned.

The trouble has been that since the
office became open, all our capable
men have declined the Office, even to
the malihini who should have received
the appointment in the line of deserved
promotion and who, in the natural
order of things, should have been the
successor of his chief, known, as he
was, as capable and efficient official
but who, we understand, was decried
hy some in the Republican Executive
Committee as being a malihini yet
who, when filling a subordinate posi-
tlon was not then decred. Then he
was all right; but when it came to MAX
ing him chief as the natural successor
to his resigning chief, no, no, he was
not 1T. But it had no sooner been Of
fered to a political job chaser, who has
always been hankering for Office, it
was taken up.

One of the main reasons why certain
clan here who have held power far too
long, see cause for dread in the early
passage of the city and county meas
ures, is because of offices being made
elective, and many of the class, referred
to, fear that they will not be elected to
fill desired Offices. They further
fear the native Hawaiian majority vote
end they have very good reason to be
SC afeared. Such being the case COM
ing events presages soon the end of
their ruling and their relapse into po-
l;tical obscurity for good and forever,
we hope. No political party can be as
sured of success without the aid of the
Hawaiians, and it behooves their lead

Overdue Steamships.

New York, April THE steamship
Southwark arrived in port today from
Antwerp after prolonged passage OF 10
days. Captain Damn reported that ter.
rife weather had been encountered
nearly all the way across. There ere
number of vessels from two to four days
overdue here, but there is no anxiety re-
garding their safety. The majority OF
them are freighters, which are not built
to &C swiftly through head winds, and
seas. Commanders of transatlantic
liners which arrived today report sight
ing an unusual large number OF
icebergs. From statements made by the
passengers who landed from the South
wark all was not lovely ON the trip across
the Atlantic. They charge that the de-
lay in the vessel reaching port was not
due TO gales and head seas, but to the
breaking down of the vessels machinery.
They also allege that the Southwark was
sent to sea in an unfit condition. Be-
cause of the delay there was bread
famine aboard the ship during the last
nine days of the voyage. The second
day of the famine saw a diet in which
many of the steerage entered the second
cabin pantry and looted it. After that
the second cabin was compelled to give
up part of its rations to the steearge.
Even this was not sufficient, and during
the last three days of the voyage
the steerage passengers had moth
ing to eat but baked potatoes and carrots.
Captain Damn, the commander of the
Southwark, said that the delay was due
to "icebergs and the heavy bead winds. J"
After the Southwark had been made fast
to her dock an indignation meeting,
participated in by over 100 steerage
passengers, was held on the pier.

serrian Kings Proclamation,

Belgrade, April In view of the
troubled state of affairs in the Balkans
King Alexander has issued to proclama-
tons for the purpose of restoring the
unity of his country, which has been
badly strained by the recent change in
the constitution. According to the first,
the Councillors of State will be placei
on the retired list and the Skuptschin
parliament dissolved.
Ordinances appointing new senators
and councillors, followed this proclama-
ton and then appeared a second procla-
nation whereby the constitution of
April 10, 1901, was restored to full
validity. The constitution Of 1901
which is to be restored has the provision
for male succession. Beside this, the
Skuptstchina, a parliament made up of
men elected by the people, is provided
for. 1t is probable that this return to
the old constitution will have the same
effect it had in 1901, when the closest
unity between the throne and the people
was obtained.

AIfonso's Change of Mood.


Madrid, April Alfonso is again
causing his courtiers much anxiety. 1t
is feared that the sudden saddling of a
small boy with the cares of kingdom

and fear is expressed that the King
mind will give way under the strain.

which caused such excitement last year.
he quite subsidized. But after remaining
in what was for him an apparently
reasonable frame of mind, he has now
becsme most vaccillating, contrasting
strangely with his former quick decision
in all matters whether right or wrong.
His memory at times is very bad and he
has great difficulty in recalling what he
has done or said Among his former pro-
iects way one for marryinga plebeian mil
lionairess from South America, in order
to do which he got Spanish consuls to
make out reports on all manageable
actresses. After hard fight he over
came the objections of his mother, and
the rest of the court, and it became an
accepted fact, although he had not made
his selection from among several. Now,
however, he says he does not care
whom he marries, if he marries at all;
and there is consequently the possibility
of state marriage being arranged.
Certain people of his encourage fear
that he is threatened with meningitis,
but this is improbable 1t is only one
explanation of a condition which is
evident to every one, but which is not
yet satisfactorily accounted for.

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


The Senate session yesterday was
short and devoted to routine work
Mr.. Barksdale offered bill to facilitate
the collection Of taxes.
A number of House bills were re-
ported to the Senate, read first time,
and referred to the proper committees
HOUSE.
The discussion in the House of the
bill requiring osteopaths, Christian
Scientists and other healers to stand ex-
animation before the State Board OF
Medical Examiners was the most inter-
resting feature in that body, outside OF
the filing Of Judge CampbelPs answer to
the charges against him.
Mr.. Sipe spoke in favor Of the Christ
ian Scientists and made defense on the
ground of religious liberty. He de-
clared, however, that he was not a
Christian Scientist, and would not send
for one; that when he wanted prayer he
sent for his preacher, and if his family
were sick he would call in his doctor.
DIR. Ware inquired why, if he would not
have them himself, he wanted to turn
them loose on other people.
Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Cumming also adj
vocated the Christian Scientists. Messrs.
Hermans, Wallace aud Cardwell OPP
posed them. Mr.. Cardwell cited case
in his county, where child with a
broken leg was treated by Christian
Scientists, and the parent finally in des-
peration called doctor, but the bones
had healed and the child was cripple
for life.
Mr.. Newhouse demanded the names
of the parties, and that the child be
brought before the House. Mr.. Card
well declared that it was a very sensi-
tive subject with the family, and that he
would decline to give the name or have
the child brought here. The House
adjourned before the speaking was over
and several others will speak on the
subject today.
