From Wednesdays Adyertiser)

tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Attorney w. o. Smith, who is gem
eral counsel for the promoters Of the
Hilo-Honolulu Railway Company, said
yesterday that, acting in accordance
with the instructions Of the sojourning
representatives of his clients he would
petition the Government for a charter
for the corporation that has been Or
ganized. It will be remembered that
President Dole declined to agree to the
application Of the association to enter
into a contract with the Government
through the Minister OF Interior. Mr..
Brown, one of the members of the
company, left at once for the States.
but intends to return, the purpose of
his visit to the Mainland being consul
tation with men and interests already
subscribed to the enterprise under dis
cussiOn. Mr.. Gehr, another of the
company went yesterday to Hawaii,
where, according to Attorney Smith,
/ he Will transact certain business look
Ing to tho carrying forward of the
plans OF the company without the aid
of the contract. Mr.. Smith says that
the proposal of the company Is to con-
struct IA line on the mauka lands be-
tween Hilo and Kobala, connecting
/ haps absorbing It, opening up much
new country and connecting with or
tapping n number of plantations, al
ready established and tracts that will
probably In the near future be trans
formed into cane estates. Attorney
Smith, In answer to "A question, said
that with n charter or certificate Of in
corporation alone the company would
be under the marked disadvantage OF
having absent the right of way ma
chinery or powers that would be in
cluded or granted in a contract such as
the other railways have. Mr.. Smith
further remarked that his syndicate
intended to bring men as well as ma
terial from the United States, that II
had even been calculated to fetch from
the mainland labOrcrs for the grading
etc. The association, said the attor-
ney, had colonization or settlement
scheme formulated and regretted that
1t had been unable to secure the full
approval of the Government in the
plan of carrying out desires The first
Iquestion asked Mr.. Smith in the inter
view was II there was any truth in the
report that Mr.. Brown has hastily de-
|parted for the coast for the purpose OF
preparing an appeal from the Presl-
dent here to the authorities at Wash
ington. The answer to this was that
the next step in the proceedings would
be the filing, without delay, OF the pc
tition for a charter to engage In the
business Of constructing the Hilo-Ho
nolulu railway.
