N all has been very dull Admiral Walker has
been here two weeks and Minister Thurston
IL here on leave OF absence. but neither has
done anything TO change the political sltua-
tlon. Prophets OF evil have been predicting
for several weeks that the eve Of the election
would aee some general uprising on the part
Of the Royallsts and the disaffected whites who
do not approve OF the present Government or
Of its plans for q new republic. Despite the
violent speeches made at the recent Roysllst
mass m meetinR. nothing has bcsn done. and the
Queens party seems to be as powsrless as
ever.
Despite unfavorsble reports OF the lack Of
interest In registration. the total number Of
those who have put their names on the book
for the district OF Honolulu 10 ] .507, and on
the other islands and outlying precincts the
registration has been even larger. At the last
election. two years ago. the total registration
OF Honolulu was 2. 750 When It is considered
that there are 400 names on the delinquent
tax list. and that these are not allowed to
register. IL will be seen that the showing
10 large. IL must also be remembered that
many foreigners neglected to take the oath
because they feared that such action would
result In the loss Of their citizenship The
Royalists also put forth every effort to dis
courage registration. saying that the United
States would yet restore the Queen to the
throne.
Several Americans were included among
those who feared registering would lose them
| their citizenship. and some asked Minister
Willis to obtain from his Govern ment ruling
on the question. He sent the request to Sec-
| retary Gresham. but no answer was obtained.
The fact that there are q number OF instances
on record which show that one does not fore
swear allegiance under such circumstances
| probably explains the absence Of the new
ruling. The Portuguese Minister filed q pro-
test In the office OF Foreign Affairs after which
| the entire Portuguese colony took the oath
OF those who registered In Honolulu 1876
| were natives and half castles, 1O1 being Ha-
waiian born foreigners: 800 Americans. 19o
British. 12o Germans. and 41S Portuguese. A
