The democrats are already beginning to discuss
the election OF Speaker OF the next House. Three
candidates are thus early In the field-MesSrs.

and Carlisle OF Kentucky. Ever since the Ohio

platform taVors reduction in public expenditures,
The adjustment OF all unnecessary offices, abOl-
ishment OF revenue taxation, simpllacatiOn and
reform OF the tariff. and opposes subsidies Some
OF Mr. Randalls supporters are wise enough TO see
that the Speakership contest will probably be
fought upon the tarin issue, and by putting tariff
reform plank in their candidates platform they
hope to cOnciliate the large element among the
democrats which advocates that policy. The tariff
reform democrats who have been elected to the
next House are manifestiHg purpose TO stand By
Their principles and they will very likely make
strong effort TO elect a Speaker OF their OWN way
OF thinking The democrats have a majority in
the next House large enough to enable them to

and the inJmatOn is that the tariff reformers will
make Mr.. Carlisle their candidate, and Will all
agree to sup port him.
The election returns received to-day, make very
few alterations In THE STARS ia bles OF the next

there. In all the other states the latest returns

Last Saturday evening twenty nine epers
were sent from the Branch Leper Hospital to
Molokai by the steamer Kokohi The steamer
anchored off the marine railway and the lepers
were brought from the hospital in drays and
taken to the little jety at the quarantine
grounds, from which they were carried in
boats to the WokoiH. There was one China
man in the lot: the others natives, sixteen
males and twelve females. A large number of
people were gathered at the hospital to see
their friends, and later, at O'Clock, when the
lepers were taken to the steamer, they Assem-.
bled on the shore to bid the unfortunates last
farewell There was considerable wailing by
those on the shore, and the parting scene was
an affecting one, 1t is, however, the only
thing that can be done, and it would be a
greater injustice to allow them to remain where
they are liable to infect others. DR.. Fitch
accompanied them to Kalawao, where they
arrived on Sunday morning; the liokoin re-
turned the same day.

The assessor for Hilo, an Hawaiian, assessed
property rather too high to suit IS5 tax payers,
Hawaiians and foreigners, making it necessary
for board of appeals to set at Hilo. Mr..
James d. Mills, Judges Hapai and PHI were
appointed by property owners as arbitrator,
and they have been sitting for several days at
the court house, Hilo, and will have to sit sew
eral days longer. The planters all came in on
steamer day to have hearing. . The transi,

smoked glass and powerful opera glasses.
