NEW COMERS FIND BUT SCANT
ACCOMMODATIONS.
Great Influx of Investors and Sight
seers from the States-More Hotels
are Needed.

Hotel accommodations are at pre-
MUM in Honolulu today. There has
been general scramble during the
past twenty-four hours among the
people who arrived on the Australia
and Peru for places of entertainment
and many indeed have been the dis
appointments. Only eleven of the
people who came down on the Aus
tralia could secure rooms at the Ha-
waiian, and a few more were accom-
modated at the Arlington and Queen.
Not few went out to Sans Souci and
to Wright's Villa, while many have
had to shift as best they could
The prediction of c. s. Des<y that
the wide advertisement of the Islands
would cause a great influx of visitors
and investors seems about to be full
filled earlier than expected. More
than three score of strangers arrived
on the Australia and Peru. and late
advices say that the bookings at the
coast for future passage are very large
at present. The people who came YES
terday represent very large amount
of capital, and great many of them
I
couraging to them to find no suitable
abiding places. Many will have tc
seek private boarding places and lodg.
ing houses, while not few are cal
culating on returning home sooner
than they had anticipated.
Never has the actual need of lar;c.
er hotel been felt than at this time
Manager Lucas is doing all in his pow
cr to find rooms for the visitors ant
! Col. Macfarane is pushing ahead the
work of enlarging the hotel as fast
as possible. When the two new s;o
ries are added to the hotel. it will uc
commodate nearly twice as many IL;
at the present time. Even then the
accommodations will not be sufficient
if the present great influx of new com
ers continues. 1t is more than likely
that a new hotel will be erected in tn,
near future. A
Not in many years have there beef
so many visitors in the city as at tn
present time. Every department o
business has been stimulated by th,
influx. and times are prosperous. Th'
prediction is made that during tn,
coming summer the Islands will st,
the greatest number of visitors il
their history. The problem that nov
confronts the city is how they are Il
be entertained. If is serious ques
tion. and will no doubt attract the at
tention of the government in the nca
| future.

DIFFICULT TO TELL WHEN THE
VOTE WILL BE TAKEN.
Condition of the Annexation Fight
AnneXationists viii Continue Argu-
ing Until Enough Votes are Had.

The Peru brought one days later
news this morning. \ dispatch from
Washington dated January 25 stated
that the present out block for a speedy
vote on the treaty is very bad. The
opponents of annexation once more
today asked for an agreement to vote.
but Chairman Davis of the Foreign Re
lations committee would not fix the
time.
Senator White said he hoped a vote
would be reached soon. as he will be
compelled to leave Washington for n
short time next month on business,
and other Senators have important
matters to attend to. which may make
it late in the spring before there Is a
tnal action. AS matters stand, the op-
ponents of the treaty have had only
fifteen minutes time, all the remain
der being consumed by those favoring
annexation.
Senators White and Pettigrev riake
great claims of their strength, the for
mer saying he can see nearer forty
than thirty votes and the latter that
he knows of thirty-nine To offset this
the Republican members of the For
eign Relations committee today said
that every Republican but one would
vote for the treaty. and that one, Sen
ator Morrill,, had decided that he will
not be the only Republican to array
himself against the President and the
party policy, and so had decided not
to vote. and would not pair against
the treaty.
| This reduces the two-thirds neces-
sarY to ffty-nine, and one Senator said
he knew of fifty-seven votes pledged,
while there were from five to eight
Democrats who had not yet settled in
their minds how to vote. He said ar
guments would go on until the treaty
had the necessary votes assured.
There was an endeavor made by
! Cuban enthusiast to secure a combi-
nation of Democrats with those in fa-
vor of granting belligerent rights to
! secure Il poStporeunnt of the treaty
and thus endeavor to force the hand
of President Mckinley. This will not
succeed. however. as Senator White is
anxious to have vote.
To show the falacy of Senator
Whites position that Southern Cali
fornia opposes annexation. Senator
| Davis today presented in the Senate a
| petition from the Young Mems Re-
/ publican club of Los Angeles, asking
| for the ratification of the treaty.

THE MOLOKAI RANCH BROUGHT
$251,000
Arthur ID. Mcclellan Purchases 1t for
the Hartwell ompany-Charles s.
Desky was Strong Opposition.

The Molokai ranch was sold at noon
today to Arthur Daggett Mcclellan,
for S251,000. Charles S. Deslly, repre-
senting IA strong company of capital
lists, was in the race for the property
up to the last moment, but when he
offered $250,000 he reached his limit.
and allowed the successful bidder to
take the big ranch for a sum that was
but one thousand dollars higher.
When Auctioneer Morgan climbed
up on top of a chair in front of the
Judiciary building this noon to call
for bids, there were some two or three
hundred of the city's most representa-
tive men in attendance. Special Com
missioner Henry Smith read to the as
semblage the various bits of proper
ties that had previously been sold by
the trustees of the Bishop estate, as
well as the several small grants that
had been made from time to time. He
then pointed to the map which was
suspended in the hall and explained
the property that was offered for sale.
There were over 10000 acres in fee
simple and about half that number of
acres held in lease. At least one-third
of the purchase price would be requfr-
ed in cash and the other two-thirds 70
be secured by mortgage and payable
within five years time.
Mr.. Morgan then called for bids.
Judge Alfred w. Carter mentioned the
upset price. $150,OOO, as starter.
Charles S. Desky bid $156,OOO. Judge
Carter raised a thousand and Mr..
Desky saw him. Then Judge Carter
wanted to know who was bidding. and
| the auctioneer replied that he would
learn that when the property was sold
| But the judge insisted that he had the
right to know and entered a protest
Attorney Kinney for the trustees not
ed the protest.
The bidding then went on. the price
rising steadily one thousand dollars al
a time. When it reached S196.O0O. Mr.
| Deslly jumped to 100000. But this
! did not discount Judge Carter and he
went one thousand higher. Desky
mentioned S205.00O. and Carter said
$206.000. Deskv unhesitatingly went
to $4,000, and Carter bid $211 900.
At this stage of the bidding Mr.. Nc.
Clellan, who was standing near Judge
Carter. held a hasty conference, and
the former continued the bidding. Mr.
Desliy went to S250.00O. and Mr.. Ne
Clellan promptly named $251,O00. The
bidding then stopped and the property
was Knocked down to the highest bid
der.

ANNEXATION Is FAVORED.
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
Comes Out Strong for It,

Los ANGELES. january 25.-The
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce by
reason of the recent snap action of
its Board Of Directors finds itself in ii
dilemma. Some weeks ago resolu-
tion. which, it is said, was presented
by w. \. Clarke, the Montana million
aire. who has become largely interest
ed in beet sugar in this country, and
was adopted. 1t was strongly against
the annexation of Hawaii and was nj
once telegraphed to the opponents OF
that measure at Washington.
Since then some of the friends Of
annexation have made a systematic
poll of the membership of the Cham
Der, which is the representative body
of Los Angeles business men of all de-
partments. There are 1000 members
OF these PCS are out of the city, and
1O1 have not been found after repeat
ed calls. OF 632 who have been seen
292 favor annexation, 205 are against
it, and 135 have no opinion, making a
majority of 81 in favor of acquiring
the Islands.
The resolution undoubtedly repre-
sented the views of the half dozen oi
so directors who voted for them. but
as the figures prove, do not indicate
the opinions of the business men who
form the organization. Tbs report
that they were introduced at the in
stance of a millionaire who was actu
ated by what he thought to be his fl
nancial interests, is not regarded witt
favor by many of the members. 1t Is
suggested by the pro-anneNationist'
that the directors notify the member!
of the Senate committee that the res
olution did not represent the senti
ments Of the members, but simply th'
ideas of the few who voted for them.

ARE NOT SATISFIED.
Carter Tells Why He is Opposed to the
Annexation of the Islands.

NEW YORK. January 25.-A special
TO the World from Washington says;
Mai. j. O. Carter. one of the most
prominent of Hawaians who oppose
annexation and the most influential of
Queen Liliuokalanis adherents, has
arrived. He is a white man of Amerl-
can parents, though born on the Is
lands. In discussing the eXpediency
of annexation Maj. Carter said to-
night:
II am too good an American to want
to see the United States annex Hawaii
and too good an Hawaiian to want to
see that country annexed to the Unit
ed States. Personally, | like Mr.. Dole
and the members of his cabinet are
my friends; but Mr.. Dole in saying
that the Hawaiians are satisfied with
the existing Government makes a
great mistake if he means to include
the natives. Moreover, the desire OF
the whites for annexation is waning

For the last two years he has held the
position of assistant in chemistry in the
