CARTER AND KAIULANL.
The Commissioner Meets the
Princess at a Reception.

I
The s. F. Examiner of Z late
date has the following:
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
waiian Commissioners have re-
signed themselves to wait for the
report of Mr.. Blount. They have
made no attempt to see the Presi-
dent and do not expect to accom-
plish anything until the envoy re-
turns.
Commissioner Carter met Prin-
| cess Kaiulani at the Arlington re-
ception last night and as he had
known her in the past he spoke to
her. She answered him amicably
and they were getting along
eharmingly when Guardian Davies
observed the encounter and hastily
steered another man up to sup
plant Carter. Mr.. Davies does not
allow the Princess to see the An
nexatiou Commissioners, or have
any communication with them.
He is afraid they might undertake
to show her that she is not promot-
ing her own interests in coming here
and fighting against q settlement
that gives her $4,000 in cash in
exchange for 4 contingent claim to
power that might never have
amounted to anything even if there
had been no revolution.
Mr.. Sewell, formerly of Honolu-
IL, was in the Commissioners rooms
this evening. He says he saw the
crisis coming ten years ago on &C
count Of the mad course the King
was bent on following The root
Of the difficulty, Mr.. Sewell thinks,
lies in the fact that the late dynasty
was not of the blood of the old
chiefs. Kalakaua originally beat
Queen Emma, who was of royal
blood, by bTibing the members of
the Legislature, and the natives
were so Infatuated that his life and
throne were saved only by the
backing Of American marines.
Then to strengthen his position
with the natives kalakaua re-
vived the old pagan superstitions
This has continued under LiIiuo-
kalani, and it is this, in Mr.. Sew
ellis opinion, as much as the cor
ruption and treachery of the Gov
eminent, that drove the whites to
revolt.

THE WHEELMEN.
They Entertain a Large Number
of Spectators.


The Pacific Wheelmen held their
third racing meeting on the King
street track last Saturday afternoon
and another success was scored by
the boys. The races were to COM
mence at / o'clock but long before
| that hour the street was lined on
both sides with spectators eager to
catch a glimpse of the flying con-
testants.
The first race, a mile dash, for
club members only, brought to the
scratch H. A. Giles, H. E. Walker,
and R. A. Dexter. They got away
to a good start, Dexter taking the
lead. Near the half mile Giles
passed Dexter, and Immediately
increased his lead to nearly IS
yards, coming in first 80 yards
ahead of Walker who had managed
to pass Dexter. Time, On, 81 3-5s.,
which lowers the local record by
II 2-5 seconds.
This was the race of the day,
being for the championship and a
handsome gold medal which be-
comes the property of the party
winning it three times.

The second race, for wheels un-
der 40 pounds weight, brought the
following contestants to the start
A. L. C. Atkinson, T. P. Cummins,
F. H. Haley, C. K. Kalanianaole
and Manuel Rodiques. Haley took
the lead at the start, and main
tanned it until he neared the quar-
ter-mlle, when he was passed, tt
Cummins coming in first, Akin

Kalanianaole fourth, and Haley |
fifth. Time, m. 26 9.
The third race, q quarter-mile |
dash, free for all, was contested by |
H. A Giles, w. NJ. Bush, H. E. |
Walker and T. P. Cummins. This
was closely contested race, Giles
coming in first. Bush second, Cum
minis third and Walker last. Time, |
% 3-5 sec. The distance covered is |
believed to be a trife less than a
quarter-mile, as the time made
would otherwise lower the worlds
record.
The fourth race, for boys under
13 years of age, was closely con-
tested, they coming in at the finish
in a bunch B. Cartwright, Jr.,
first, Cora Nacayama second, VIII

In this race T. P. Cummins, who
held a good position, lost his pedals
near the end, which caused his re-
tirement.
The Wheelmen are dissatisfied
with the King street course, and
hereafter no contests will be held
on 1t. They intend to give ano-
ther picnic soon, and hope to secure
enough funds to complete their
track at Pearl City.

An. old man with thin, bent form and
a few locks of white hair peeping from
beneath rusty old fashioned silk hat
hobbled painfully through Broad street
one afternoon last week and took his
stand near the Mills building. He leaned
wearily on his stout stick and appeared
to be in pain. His manner was abso-
lutely passive. He paid no attention to
surrounding objects and spoke to no per-
son. He simply stood still. Within half
an hour after the close of business in the
exchanges at least half a dozen well

The practice Of defacing natural seen

prevalent in the United States as it was
u generation ago, and public sentiment
Is steadily growing stronger against it..
This practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers Of

tion must be taken. The Thames val

IN Wales and the loveliest corners of
Devonshire have been greatly injured by

EFFORTS are being made to secure an
adjudication upon the Chinese Exclusion
act by the United States Supreme Court
at this term. The matter has been the
subject of correspondence between the
Governments of China and of the
United States, and, at the request
of the State Department, the De.
partment of Justice has com
pleted the necessary preliminaries in
conjunction with counsel for the Chinese
Government and its subjects in this
country. Under the terms of the law
commonly known as the Geary act. all

LOBBYING, as business, is an occupa.
tion which, in the nature of the case.
spoils the high sense of honor which
every respectable man, and especially
every self-respecting lawyer, should wish
to preserve. The business of accepting
fees may be carried too far. There are
some things which no fee, no reward.
1t matters not how great either may be
or by whom it may be offered. should
tempt man to do There are no rules.
no statute of limitations, TO prevent a
lawyer from accepting fees even to the
extent Of swindling, and cheating. in
the interest Of his clients. There is a
moral law, however, and law Of
decency. The careless or callous lawyer
cannot claim to be ignorant Of them. He
is not ignorant of them; but he fre.
quently saves his conscience, while that
organ is active and sensitive, by the
excuse that he may do for the fee of a
client-usually corporation-that
which he knows TO be dishonoraDle for
him to undertake as a man. The present
Legislature has been the scene of several
incidents which reflect upon the bar of
Delaware, The bar association is too
small and too spiritless body
to take action on these things-to con
denim them and TO define what an hon.
orable member may do. There are SO
many friendships, and so much liberality
OF spirit, that the body will not con
denim any act that one Of its members
may commit. But the people are not so.
They can perceive and condemn. They
are not so hide bound with professional
courtesy that they are blind. The people
have perceived; they have condemned.
Lobbying as business and the efforts Of
lawyers to earn fees by trickery will
meet their just condemnation.
