1t consists of splendid devotion to

of him, unless it is on the election of
| Mckinley, it will be when Mr. Foster
is mapping
If the interviewer will guess be-
tween the words as they fall trippingly
from the ex-Secretary's tongue he will
make up his mind that Mr.. Foster is
here in the interest of the Spalding
Cable Company. On the other hand
the United States is on the eve of a
change of administration, from one, an
tagOnistic to the Islands, to one that is
favorable. Mr.. Foster is a Republican,
dyed-in-the-wool, and man known to
be friendly to the Island Government
This being the case, Mr.. Foster may be
one of many prominent citizens of the
United States to visit the Islands for
the purpose of 'sizing" up affairs. To
support this view is the fact that the
distinguished gentleman has declined
the invitations of the public men here
to be their guest preferring, rather, to
stop at a hotel, where he can meet the
people and be entirely Independent.
Naturally, when he returns to the
United States he will be asked a great
many questions by a great many peo-
pie, and if it was known that he was
the guest of a member of the Cabinet
of Hawaii his opinion would carry very
little weight. But this is only sur
mise Mr. Foster may be here TO view
the volcano or say whether, in his
opinion, HiIo should have new wharf.
He failed to tell the Advertiser re-
porter just which.

when the discussion was going on
during Mr.. CIeveland's term, that the
feeling was generally in favor of it,
DO you think that if Mckinley is
elected the project will be pushed?"
From what we know, Mr.. Mckinley
is pledged to annexation of the Islands
to the United States at the proper
time
MAY 1 ask when you would con-
slider the proper timer
Everybody knows my feeling in the
matter, because l drew the treaty of
annexation between the two Govern
ments. l think the Islands should be
annexed now, because it would be
good thing for the United and a good
thing for the Hawaiian Islands. That
is my opinion, and was in the United
States. But when l have been here
little while l may see things that would
change it,
Have you any doubt as to the result
of the election in the United States to-
morrow; that is, do you think there
is a question regarding the election of
Mr.. McKinley?'
Personally have not, but the BTy-
an men are Sanguine of the election of
their candidate Certain it is that the
business men are in favor of McKin-
ley; in the country districts, perhaps,
there is a strong feeling for the silver
candidate No, | hardly think the
Palmer-Buckner ticket Will poll enough
votes to make any difference in Nc
Kinley's vote My old friend, Mr.. COu-
dert, a prominent man in New York,
and one who takes a warm interest IN
politics, remarked to me the other day
that he would vote for Mr.. Palmer,
because he was a Democrat, but If he
thought his vote was necessary TO
elect Mckinley, he would vote for him.
| believe there are a great many 9TH
ers in New York State Of the same
opinion, and if there was the least
doubt of New York not going for him
the Gold Democrats would vote the
straight Republican ticket. The nom
ination of Palmer will enable the Dem
ocrats who favor gold to maintain their
records as Democrats, rather than to
interfere in anyway with the chances
of the Republican party. But the cleo
ton in the United States can hardly
interest you people here!

In the event of the United States
not granting a concession or in any
way favoring the cable scheme what
do you think would be the result of this
Government entering into negotiations
with English capitalists for the con-
structiOn of a line?"
I would rather not venture an opin-
ion on that subject. Your Govern
ment has been trying for a long time
to get a cable, and the United States
wants one. l think there is d great
necessity for it, and l think, of course,
it should go to the United States, but
If that Government does not wish to
do anything toward it, l do not see
why they should act foolish if this Gov
eminent makes the best terms posi-
bic with some one else. At the same
time, think the United States would
me unwise to let it go anywhere else"
do you believe that Mr.. Spalding
is as anxious to build the cable now
as he was when he got the concession
from this Government"
"Of that 1 do not care to speak. Mr..
Thurston, his attorney, is better quail
fed to pass an opinion on that point
than I"
Another question, Mr.. Foster.
What is the general feeling over there
regarding annexation? Do you think
the people are in favor of it?'
