A LITTLE SURPRISE.
Thirty-Eight More Salt Laker
Naturalized.
THE. HAWAIIAN APPLICANTS.
Judge Sanford Admits One. But Refers the
Others 10 the Supreme Court-0ther
Legal Matters.

There were four Sandwich Islanders,
residents of this city, before Judge Sand
ford yesterday morning, as applicants for
citizenship. The judge, being uncertain as
to their rights, put the matter off until ,
pm. at which time the Hawaiians were
again present.
The Judge had evidently made up his
mind that the applications should be
granted. and proceeded to examine the can
didates. One was admitted upon the
showing made by himself and Messrs. r.
G. Lambert and Henry F. Richards.
The examination of a second had pro
ceeded nearly to a conclusion when Attor-
ney C. o. WhittemOre interposed an obiec-
ton TO the issuing of papers and sought 70
justify his position by authorities. Judge
Saudford expressed himself as very clear
that the islanders were entitled to the
right but agreed to delay further proceed
ings until MIR. Whittemore could present
further authorities and consult with the
district attorney.
Mr. WhittemOre diSappe AIRED and delay
ensued; but it was not long before Judge
Powers, chairman of the Liberal party, APP
peared in company with Commissioner
Pierce. Without giving these gentlemen
an opportunity to air their eloquence the
court informed the applicants that he would
prefer not TO pass on the motion, but to
have it brought before the supreme court
tomorrow, at p. III.
