NEWS AND NOTES.
George Armstrong, of Greater New
York, a prominent Republican, is in
the city on business, and is stopping
at the Mcclure. When Register re-
porter met Mr.. Armstrong he was ex-
pressing regret that he could not get
home in time to register, and there
fore would be deprived of voting for
Roosevelt for Governor.
II think Judge Van Wyck will GER
tainly be elected he said. GAS much
as 1 desire the success Of Roosevelt, |
am unable to figure out the probability
of his election. The people in New
York are gradually inclining to this
opinion also. This is evidenced by the
betting odds. Just after the nomina-
lions were made, a number OF large
wagers were laid at to l on Roose-
welt A few days later the prevailing
odds were 10 to 6, then they changed
to 10 to Z, 10 to s, and now it is said
there is great deal of Van Wyck
money offered even. 1 would not be
surprised if. in race track parlance,
Van Wyck will be a to shot before
election day.
with all the information I could
obtain, I have made what 1 regard as
a very conservative estimate that Van
Wyck's plurality in Greater New
York will be 100000 Democratic fig
ures are considerably higher. I don't
think Roosevelt can come down to the
Harlem river with sufficient plurality
to offset this. l admire Roosevelt very
much. He is a military hero, you
know; and the major portion of his
popularity is based upon his war
record. In spite of all this, it will be
impossible to make certain elements
forget his policy and record as Police
Commissioner
"Then there are many other things
that figure in the canvass. The defeat
of Van Wyck would mean tampering
from Albany with the present conduct
of Greater New York. Tammany will
therefore work hard for Van Wyck.
The straight silver ticket will be lost
sight of on election day. 1t will not
be dangerous factor, unless the race
is exceedingly close. On the other side
Governor Blacks friends are sore at
Boss Platt's championship of Roose-
velt's cause, and the administration at
Washington does not favor his can
didacy, as Roosevelt's election would
make him a Presidential possibility,
and Mckinley wants another term.
There is more dissension in Republican
than in Democratic ranks"

One of the latest and most pronounced
comedy hits of the season is "A Misfit
Marriage" which will be seen at the
Opera House on Wednesday evening. Oct
18th. The piece was written by Mr. H. A.
DuSouchet, whose play My Friend from
India" has probably made more money
than any other farce in recent years, and
whose The Man from Mexico" is being
played by the widely known and popular
comedian, Willie Collier with such dis
tinguished success. 1t will be presented
under the direction of Messrs. Smyth e
Rice, who have brought out nearly all of
Mr.. DuSouchet's plays and who enjoys
a we'll established reputation for furnish
ing clean, bright and wholesome amuse-
ment The new play principally concerns
a young man who goes with his sweet
heart and her mother, a widow, before
magistrate, intending to marry the young
girl, and is by a curious and not improb-
able blunder on the part Of the judge,
Joined 10 the elderly woman instead. 1t
will be presented here with a carefully
selected company and with special seem
cry and stage effects.

Hon. N. B. Scott, United States Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, arrived
in the city yesterday from Washington,
and registered at the Mcclure. He was
called upon at his room by many prom
inent Republicans, but in the evening
went out the National Road to spend
the night with friend. Commissioner
Scott is expected to remain here sew
eral days, and it is the general i'm
preston that he is here to look after
his political fences. Everybody knows
that Mr.. Scott aspires to a seat in the
United States Senate, and Charlie Cald-
we'll has been cutting some capers' in
this end of the State. Possibly the
presence of the Wood county statesman,
who openly states that Scott and At
kinson have been sufficiently honored
by the party, is responsible for a
hurry up call to the Commissioner
from this city.

They Are
Reliable.

Saturday evening, Janaury 29th, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Island on bicycles. The
list was made up of some Of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them a '97 Overland Special which is
handled by the HONOLULU BICYCLE
co The Overland was the only wheel
in the lot which made the trip without
trouble of any kind. OVERLANDS
are the kind of wheels that take you
away from home, and bring you back
again.
By the last Australia, we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness. and are without any excep-
tions. the most beautiful models, and
the highest grade wheels ever shown
here for anything near the price which
we shall sell them-$65. We defy all
competition, even at much higher
figure.

A Plea for the Amendment.

MR.. EDITOR:-A few weeks ago,
you were good enough to publish a
letter of mine which was intended by
me as an appeal to foreigners in favor
of Cancellation towards the Hawaiians.
More recently you published my ap-
peal to the Hawaiians in favor OF con-
Citation towards the foreigners.
| now venture to draw attention, in
the interests as l believe of both Ha-
waiians and foreigners, to the impor-
tant Constitutional amendment which
has been introduced into the Legisla-
ture, for the removal of the oath now
required of voters.
This amendment cannot, at bets,
come into effect until the gen
eral election of 1901-and not then I'M
less it be passed by the Legislature OF
1900, as we'll as by the present Legis-
lature.
Moreover, to judge by the signs OF
the times, the bulk of the Hawaiians
will take the oath and vote next year,
possibly reserving to themselves the
right TO change their minds after
wards, as they may claim that others
have done, or possibly they may argue
that a political oath is not binding, as
l have heard white men argue. I need
hardly say that l do not approve of
either of these pleas; but l do believe
that most of the Hawaiians will vote,
and those perhaps not the most de-
serving.
| therefore argue that the removal
of that oath would show a wish to con-
ciliate the Hawaiians, and it could have
no other effect They would see that
the foreigners were doing all that they
could do under the Constitution to re-
move the disabilities from the Hawai-
ians, and that would make for peace.
If, in the course of the next two
years, it were found that the Hawai-
ians did not appreciate the olive
branch thus held out, the next Legis-
lature could reject the amendment, and
no harm would have been done.
If this opportunity be lost, it will
never recur, for the Hawaiians will be
sure to accept the decision of the pres
ent Legislature as the final verdict in
the Court of Cancellation.
l am, sir, your obedient servants,
THEO. H. DAVIES.

A Large Sum OF Money Hidden
Away In a Cave.

From all accounts Koloa, Kauai, con-
tains Klondike for somebody who has
patience enough to search among the
caves of a certain 20 acre lot at that
place.
About Is years ago there died in Ko-
loa an old native who had been, during
his life, very energetic and shrewd
business man. He succeeded in laying
up good deal of money which he loan
etd here and there on interest. The
plantations were in the habit of going
to him whenever they happened TO be
short of money to pay off the laborers.
The money was allowed them on very
reasonable terms and he was always
patronized.
Kahukini was the name Of this ma
tive and from the time he obtained his
| first savings he was in the habit Of
slowing them away some place or 9TH
er. When he had obtained between
40 and $4,000 he left the money with a
| Catholic priest who lived very close by
After while he took the money back
again and hid it in one of the caves on
his property. Soon after this his mind
began to fail him and he forgot where
the money was hidden. His wife tried
| in vain to get from him the exact spot
| but it was useless. He would brood all
day and mention continually facts re-
garding his riches but never where the
treasure was hidden. He died and the
secret went to the grave with him.
Several people who used to work for
him have searched the place over for
the waelth, but nothing has been
found. The place where Kahukini liv-
ed is full of caves and it is in one OF
these that there lies the Kauai Klon-
dixie.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

After all, there may come good out OF
| the cars proposal. 1t is matter
upon which the leading minds of Eu-
rope agree. Still, coming from a mill
tary despot, whose highest ambition
had ever seemed the spoliation of lesser
powers, it was a surprise, and the sin
cerity of it was naturally questioned.
| But, according to a London CORE
spondent for New York paper, sus-
picions are giving way to approval,
while the organs and diplomats of the
different governments are suspending
judgment on the motives and sincerity
of Nicholas. Notes are being sent and
received in every European capital
| touching upon a partial disarmament.
The topic is handled with caution, Of
course, but not with animadversion.
Further and ampler exchanges of opin-
ion upon the delicate and intricate
questions that it raises will now go
! forward for months. Then, in all prob
ability. the projected conference, in
which the first ministers of all the Eu-
ropean states would share, will meet
Whether it viii accomplish its end, or
even any part of it, is, thus early, pure
| conjecture.
Some claim that nothing win come of
the meeting. and point to the fact that
the kaiser's international conference
that was to adjust once and for all the
relations of capital and labor was not
suspicious.
And they say further that similar
conferences in the past have only made
acuter the rivalries and the enmities of
the powers concerned, and, as in the
case of Prussia and Of Austria, hast
ened inevitable war.
This correspondent is of the opinion
however, that "the dreaded conflict
feared is likely in the long run to
come from the tension of steadily in
creasing ornaments. The conference
may avert it. At the very least the
cars proposal has brought the mutual
reduction Of ornaments within the field
of practical discussion. By so much it
make a long step forward. Meanwhile,
as an earlier letter tried to show. it is
a present guarantee of peace, at a time
when international relations were
growing more and more ominous."
Every government in Europe is Sc
cretly sensible of the burden that a mil
itary and a naval establishment that
must be constantly increased in num-
bers and strengthened in the material
of war lays upon it. All the evil re-
suits that the cars rescript recites are
commonplace in every capital on the
continent. They steadily feel and dread
that the weight OF its ornaments per
manentiy hampers it ia the struggle
for trade with the United States and
with England. To lessen them is one of
the chief purposes Of the general con-
tinental policy of commercial and in
dustrial expansion. This burden of ex-
cessive ornaments is accepted as an
memorable necessity that only a general
war or mutual agreement can relax. 1
True, compulsory military Service is
not without compensatory advantages. |

est unifying force in the whole king
dom; and that it has escaped thus far
the prevailing corruption. In the inter
nal troubles of Austria. and the multi
plying signs of the disruption of the
empire at the death of Franz Josef, the
army, little affected as yet by the quar-
rels of Germans, Czechs. Slavs and
Magyars, is regarded as almost the
only saving force. In France the army
is the one bond of union between en-
FILTERED and widely divergent political
parties. No group yields to another
in zeal for it or pride in ii. In Germany
thoughtful men count the universal
military service not only as defense
against foreign foes, but against the
more dangerous socialists within the
empire. The English navy is not only
essential TO the protection of trade and
colonies, but il touches the pride Of
England as the French army touches
the pride of France. Under these con-
ditions, general disarmament is sim
ply a vision of the dreamers of dreams
in peace societies. The car and his
advisers are too sensible men to pro-
pose such a generous chimera- Mutual
agreement however, to limit competi
ton in ornaments is at least within
practical consideration. 1t would take
away none of the moral and tangible
advantages that England finds in its
navy and the continental states in their

PRESSURE ON THE PRESIDENT.

Hanna scoffed the idea of investigat-
ing the war department President
Mckinley said there was nothing to
investigate. Alger was defiant and
proposed 10 stand upon his record.
But it wouldn't work. There were too
many emaciated forms returning from
the camps; too many wan faces, If the
seal of discipline was upon the fever
parched lips. And the people murmur-
ed, they questioned, they requested an
understanding, they demanded an in
vestigation. 1t became a storm of in
dignation, hurricane of censure that
threatened to sweep the Republican
party from power.
Candidates were made to feel its
force in their various localities. Elk
plantations were demanded and they
had none to offer. Thoroughly alarmed
they began to irnportune the admins
tration to investigate some one. to do
something to prevent humiliation
First letters then kilograms poured in
upon the president until some sort of
action was unavoidable.
Then it was that Alger assumed an
air of injured innocence. or astonished
ignorance. it is hard to tell which, and
asked for committee to overhaul his
books. Meanwhile the soldiers are be-
ing sent, sick and weak, to their homes.
The camps are abandoned, and by the
time the committee is ready for work
there will be no camps to investigate.
The St Louis Republic sizes the stu
alton up in about the same way. 1t
says: Mr. Mckinley has been forced
to act by the representations Of con-
gressional candidates of his own politi-
cal party all over the country. They
have told him that their seats are in
danger, that Republicans as well as
Democrats in all parts of the country
have been Mortified and made indignant
at the disclosures of wholesale incom-
potency, laundering and neglect shown
in the management of the military
forces of the country, and that unless
steps are at once taken to ascertain
who is responsible and TO punish the
guilty parties. there will be a revolt
this fall which will leave Republican
executive unsupported by a majority
of his political following in the next
congress-
1t was after such a showing, and af-
ter a thorough understanding with his
accOmplice, that President Mckinley
ordered an investigation 'at the re-
quest of his friend Alger."
If the committee ever gets together
the camps will be things of the past.
No one expects anything but a white
washing performance anyhow.
