not hard to convince, as he
has been as anxious as any
body to let down the bars
to the officers, but, having
always posed as a civil SER
vice reformer, he wanted Con
gress to order him to act.
There are reasons-snbstan-
tiaf, too-why Congress has
not done 30, and is not like
ly to do so; hence his agree
ment to act independently.
The death OF Senator Har,
ris, of Tenn, whose funeral
took place in the Senate
Chamb on Saturday, re-
moved astriking figure from
the arena of National poll
tics, one whose ideas of per-
sonal integrity were as old
fashioned and straight-laced
as his ideas OF party fealty,
and who didn't have one set
of ideas for public use and
another set to govern his
private actions. During his
half century of public life,
Isham G. Harris was a cred
it to his State and to the
Democratic party, and was
never guilty of an act that
even his most bitter enemies,
he had no personal ene-
mies-could cast suspicion up
on. Having said that much,
it il needless to add that
Senator Harris died a poor
man.
The Democratic Senators
a n d representatives, who
are members of tn e Con-
ference committee on the
tariff bill, know no more of
what that committee is do

formed them as soon as the
Conference begun that they
wished to fight their differ

without ha ing anybody
present, and, of course, the
Democrats retired and will
remain out of the conference
until sent for. The Republi-
cans evidently regardaJones,

the Republicans expect t .
reach an agreement by the
middle OF the week. If they
do, the tariff bill will be come a

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.


"Wabbling William is the
"a t h er uncompllnentary
name that has been applied
to Mr.. Mckinley by promi-
nent members of his party,
because Of his lightning
changes of mind in connec-
tion with that special mes
sage to Congress asking au-
t'hority to appoint a currency
commission. One day he
would tell the prominent
members of his party who
called to prrtest against his
sending in his message at
this session and he made up
his mind to withhold it until
the regular session anI make
the recommendation IN his
annual message, but the next
DAY. when the agents of the
banking interests put the
sore VS. to him and reminded
him of his "a ampaign promis-
es and their campaign con-
tributions, r. e would a n
nounce to them that the
message should go in. lie

much to the disgust of those
who applied the epithet of
"wabbling William" to him

matter until Secretary Gage,

OF the bankers, had secured

the Cabinet to help brace his
backbone up. The author

bill creating such a commits

next session, but it will not

is to be such a commission,
the silver Democrats will see

For Postmaster at Shelby.

DR.. Junius Brutus Fortune
is mad. He said today: 81
have heard that DR.. John
McBrayer has been endorsed
by Congressman Linney for
postmaster at Shelby. This
Is a great mistake being
made. He is the most uni
versally hated man in .Cleve
land county. He has no fol
lowing in the Republican par
ty OF the county. II left to
the people Of Shelby to vote
for McBrayer for postmaster
or a good negro, the negro
would get two votes to Nc
Brayer's one, and Shelby is
the last place in the State
which wants a negro post
master. Nine out Of ten
Democrats in Shelby are op
posed to McBrayer's appoint
nent. II ia the hest thing
politically that ever happen
ed to them, This appoint
ment will give them Cleve
land county at the next elec
tion by 1000 majority. Say
for me that it Linney had the
power to make an appoint
ment like this in every coun
ty the State would go Demo
crate by 100000 majority.
Say further that if the Repub
Leans of Shelby had to vote
as to whether McBrayer
should go In or ut present
postmaster remain in, the
latter would pe a sure win

DIR. SMITHS ALLEGED ASSASSIN
TO BE TRIED.
\ Special Term of the Kauai Circuit
Court Called to Try Kapea Kaio and
His Associates.

Circuit Judge Jacob Hardy of the
Fifth District, Kauai, today issued IA
call for a special term of his court to
convene at the Nawiliwili court house
in Lihue, on the 10th of next month.
The session is called for the trial of
kapea Kaio, the alleged assassin OF
DR.. j. X. Smith, of Koloa, and his as
sociates in the crime. The next regu-
lar session of Judge Hardy's court
will not meet until next March and it
was considered useless expense as
well as a delay of justice that the nc-
cused men and woman should be cen
fined in jail until that time.
Kapea Kaio, the eldest son Of Fdio.
and who according to the confession
of his younger brother, Iol<epa, tired
the fatal shot. has refused to make a
statement. He is confined in a strong
cell at Oahu prison and closely
guarded.
Kaio. the father of the boy. is de-
termined to make a bitter fight to
save his sons neck. He is willing 20
dispose of anything in his possession
to employ proper counsel to defend
him. Kaio is known to have a bank
account, also a sum of money drpoS-
tied in the Postal Savings Bank, be-
sides his land and live stock on la

\ BIG DEBT.
Two Thousand Shares of New Stock
viii be Issued to the Shareholders
-Honomu's lew Mill.

The Wailuku Sugar Company will
free itself from all debt. At the an
nual meeting held in the office of
Brewer g. Co. yesterday, the shorehold-
ers voted to issue 100000 more stock,
which amount will take up the bond
ed indebtedness of the company.
This heavy debt was contracted by
the Wailuku Sugar Company a few
years ago when it absorbed the Wal
hee Sugar company. Bonds were Is
sued to cover the indebtedness.
At the meeting yesterday it was the
consensus of opinion among the va
rious stockholders that it would be
to their best interests to issue more
stock and take up the bonded in
debtedneSs, thus saving the company
considerable outlay of money each
year in paying the interest on the big
debt.
The stock will all be issued to the
shareholders. each having the oppor-
tunity of purchasing as many shares
as he is entitled to in the apportion-
ment. George II. Robertson, the
treasurer of the company, stated this
morning that the apportionment
would be two shares for every five
shares held There will be issued In
all 1000 shares at 100 par. Wailul<u
stock is quoted on the market at 5000.
| This gives each shareholder an oppor-
tunity to make 500 on each share.
The Wailuku Sugar Company will
hold second meeting on Monday
next. The officers chosen to serve
for the ensuing year are: 5. c. Al
len, president: w. +. Allen, vice pres
| ident; NJ. p. Robinson, auditor; Geo.
{ II. Robertson. treasurer, and r. F..
! Bishop, secretary.
Secretary George II. Carter has Civ
en- notice that the annual meeting of
! the Honomu Sugar Plantation will be
held in the Office of c. Brewer d Co.,
tomorrow morning. 1t is learned that
the shareholders also intend to sane
! ton the issuance of more stock at
par to defray the expenses of the new
mill now being built at the Honolulu
! Iron Works.
AS in Wailuku the shareholders OF
Honomu will be given the privilege of
buying the new stock. Honomu is
quoted in the neighborhood of 1925.
