BY HORACE WRIGHT.

HONOLULU, Oct 13.-President Dole
has slipped away to the other islands on
a vacation and TO get out of the way Of
further executive orders from Washing
ton; for there is a strong presendment
IN official circles that there are others
en- route.
In fact, there is an irrepressible send-
ment in the community, even among the
conservative and non-political element,
that the Washington administration is
planning a coup de grace for the Dole
administration and that they will shortly
be removed by another order under the
Newlands resolution.
The supposition is that Mr.. Sewall will
be temporarily installed at the head Of
the civil administration IN order TO rem
der more active assistance in the con-
summation OF the plans OF the military
and naval branches OF the Government
and thus destroy the apparent friction
which occasionally is displayed between
the local and the superior governments.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Hon. q.
dowed with this worlds goods and
somewhat independent and free spoken
in his utterances, has had the following
10 say to the newspaper men in con-
nection with the recent executive orders:
Il seems TO me that the United States is Just
now acting the part OF a negligent papa For
my part 1 should like to see more executive
orders. so that we may be able to se5 Just

tluce Of which cannot be too strongly errpha-

There is uC telling what politics will do

difference between territory conquered by force

placed before the whole world in the same posi-
ton as conquered territory. Would this be

There is nothing that Americans like TO see
more than straight out-and-out digging for

Although Hawaii has been rather IN the posi-

front would have accomplished more.
Mott-Smith's father, Hon. J. Mott
smith, served King Kalakaua as Minis
ter OF the Interior in 1876. and Queen
Ltliuokalani as Minister Of Finance in
lsSl, and vas for a short time also Ha-
Nalian Minister TO Washington, and so
the young Minister almost comes TO a
knowledge of affairs" by inheritance.
Outside Of the subjects Of stock trans
actions, plantation promotions and i'm
IToVement, the main topic of gossip is
the political future and, more especially
OF the possible candidates for the guber-
material chair. It seems to be generally
conceded that President Mckinley will
seek to cOnCiliate rather than antagoniZe
public sentiment especially as regards
Li4E 4FEl4llES VI Inc lOE dlSlS- LQe F1a-
waiians and the anti-annexationist
(3nti-annexationists on accouu- Of the
means adopted TO procure anne tion, but
by no means inimicai to the United
States). It is openly stated that the ap-
poinrnent of either Mr. Dole or Mr.
Sewau would reopen old wounds and Gre
ate most bitter partisan strife, for they
were the prime agents Of the consumma-
ton Of. the wrong, still unforgiYen by
many thousands.
These are divided into three classes.
The first consists of the native Ha-
waiians or those attached to them by
family ties and position. They are the
eX-Queen, Prince David Kawananakoa,
Princes Kaiulani, and Hon, Samuel Par
ker, who leaves for Washington on the
China on the oath inst
The next class consists OF the planters
interests, represented by men of property
and influence. and OF many years resi-
dence in the country, or born therein.
Hon. William c.. Irwin Is placed at the
head Of this list, with J. 3. Atherton,
Senator II. p. Baldwin, Hon. p, Q. Jones
and Charles N. Cooke.
The third class represents the lawyers
and the names mentioned are Hon. Paul
Neumann Hon. Cecil Brown and ex-
Judge Hartwell, the special delegate to
The salary, 5000. Is so small in compari-
son with what has hitherto been paid the
Government officials that patriotism and
not pay would be ruling motive Of ac-
ceptance: but Hawaii is not even a Ter
