The Virginian romance had been for-

the Chicago Record from Honolulu
November 24. via. San Francisco, says:
The news which arrived today that
President McKinley had refused to ac-
cept the resignation of Minister of Pi-
nance S. M. Damon. throws matters
here into confusion. There is a clause
in the Hawaiian constitution that a
cabinet olllce becomes vacant when a
cabinet minister is absent from his.
country sixty days. linder this clause
(Theodore F‘. Lansing was appointed
minister of ilnancc. There was at thc
tlme no attention almitt the appoint-
ment. as it was known Damon had
sent his resignation to President Mr-
Klnlcy. But as under the Newlandz-
resolutions Hawaiian oilicinls hold
their appointments from the president.
McKinlcy‘s refusal to‘accept Damon‘s
resignation would seem to have creat-
‘ed a condition where there are two offi-
cers for the other.
