fellow cadet.
He afterward went into the Gus.
tom house and postoffice at San
Francisco, and during the Kearny
riots was a member of Sankey's
squad of the Ak Handle Brigade,
and was well known at Republican
headquarters, especially in the
Eleventh Ward of the Thirteenth

came to Honolulu, where he has
since remained, being employed
since 1887 lin the revolution OF
which year he took party in the

Committee of the American Union
party.
He has advanced step by

eral satisfaction in every position
held by him. Mr.. McStocker pos
sesses the confidence and esteem
of his superior officers. He was
called in by President Dole as a
member of the committee which
prepared the original draft of the

arduous duty of formulating a
plan Of procedure
He, after consultation with Cen
eraI A. S. Hartwell, George C..
Stratemeyer, T. B. Murray and
others, decided upon the present

ure General Hartwell resigned the
management In favor of Mr.. Nc
Stocker, who was at that time act
ing az Sergeant Of No. gun crew

been detailed by President Dole
for that specific purpose.
Mr. McStocker met with ready
response from all sides and soon

A meeting was held in one Of the
upper rooms Of the Executive
building yesterday afternoon, the
result of which viii have a signifi-
cance and far-reaching effect toward
settlement for all time of existing
political differences in the islands,
which has heretofore baffied the

the country, which viii be echoed
in resonant voice from Niihau to

Since the arrest and confinement
of Liliuokalani and the gradual
outcome of evidence before the
Military Court, showing her direct
participation in the late warlike
movement to overthrow the Re-
public and replace it with q gov
ernment of monarchical insti4u-
tions with the ex.queen as its head
and body, the friends of the late
regime have had a terrible GER
tainty to contend against, the
fulfilment of which would have
forever settled the future form of
government of the country.
After consultation lasting
through several days, during which
all phases of the question were
discussed from every standpoint, a
decision has been reached by
Liliuokalani.
Yesterday the Government OH.
cials were notified that . confer.
ence was desired with them by the
ex.queen. Her request was com.
piled with.
At tho meeting, which was
held yesterday afternoon, there
were present Attorney General W.

Charles u. Wilson, acting In behalf
of Liliuokaiani.

Toddy Dimple lives with her father
and mother in a red brick house in the
country and she has never been to the
city. She wants to 60 TO the city very
much however, and talks about IL all the
time, especially when she knows, by in.
stinct, that the big shop windows are
full of splendid toys and beautiful
Christmas carols are being sung in the
big churches.
When Toddy was seven years old she
realized her am mbition for grandfather and
grandmother Dimple, who lived in
the city OF Providence, invited her and
her father and mother to come and visit
with them over Christmas. Toddy's
father left the farm in charge OF the
hired man and Toddy's mother resigned
her position as secretary OF the fire COM

started by stage and boat and train for
Providencce.

muse, am walked up and down West
minister street with her mother in open
eyed wonderment si oil the wonderful
things displayed in the windows, and by
the hslf-starved and balf.frozen looking
men and women who stood on the street
corners with theis stock in trade sus-
pended around their necks.
But the great night for Toddy was
Christmas Eve, when she and her grand
rrother went down town all by them
selves to buy presents for grandfather.
They went everywhere and saw every
thing before the old lady coulu find any
