been touring the island during the past
week making speeches in support Of
their party and platform, returned to
Honolulu by way of the Pail road on
Saturday afternoon. The party con-
sisted of Kalauokalani, president of the
Kalaiaina Society and chairman of the
late Independent party convention;
Robert w. Wilcox, late special delegate
of the Hawaiians at Washington; j. K
Kaulia, whose denunc1ations of the
whites have made him notorious, and
who now poses as the Gladstone" and
Moses" of the Hawaiians; William
Mossman of Eva, and Mrs. Theresa
Wilcox, accompanied by her two child
rem. w. j. Coelho accompanied the
party for the Advertiser
The tour which began last Tuesday
at Eva has been fraught with many
incidents and wonderful statements by
the three leaders, and especially by j.
X. Kaulia. The latter endeavored from
start TO finish to install into the minds
iof the native listeners along the route
that the restoration of the Queen could
be accomplished if the Hawaiians would
act with him in the effort. Further
than this he posed as the local Black
stone in Law" and the Gladstone of
local Home Rule"
He announced that he was ready to
enter the Senate of the Territorial legis-
llature; that he would defend all natives
who were brought before the bar of
Justice for illegally fishing upon the
property OF their white neighbors; and
also that he would do a similar service
in law for women who We're arrested on
the other side of the island for bigamy.
In other words he posed as the ernan-
cipator of the natives and would lead
them to victory at the coming elections.
Neither Kalauokalani nor Wilcox
made any startling disclosures. but
merely confined themselves to inter
preting the principles of the Indepen-
dent platform and explaining the cleo
ton laws. They told their audiences
/aat restoration was dead. and could
not under any circumstances be reviv-
ed. Kauiia fatty eontradicted them in
a speech made at Laie and declared
that it rested with the native voters to
restore their eN-Queen to the throne of
Hawaii
The male members OF the party left
Honolulu at 10 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, proceeding toN Eva by train. A
meeting was held at the station house
at noon, an account of which has al
ready been given in the Advertiser.
The next stop was made at Waianae
at p. m. The delegate of the Inde-
pendent party for Eva district did not
meet the party at the station as they
anticipated. but later in the evening
they were taken in charge by the cap
tain of police and his officers and es-
corted in state to the Jail, that being
the only place they could be housed for
the night. The members of the party
took the situation good-naturedly and
made the best Of their bargain. The
police officers acted as the hosts for the
politicians and supplied them with re-
freshments. a well-attended meeting
was held in the Waianae Protestant
church, of which full account was
published in this paper on Wednesday
halauokalani waXed reminiscent in
MS speech at Waianae and referred to
an incident Of the early DAYS of oahu
which he said was applicable to the
present situation of affairs as far as the
natives We're concerned with relation to
their political status. He referred to /
the time when Kahahana was chief Of
the island of Oahu. There was then
living in Waianae a famous kabuna
named Keopulupulu whose son Kahu- |
lupue had committed a crime for which /
he fled the district. When ne was he /
ng closely pursued the old kahuna /
called after his son, saying: My child. /
bear up until you reach the water. for
when you touch the water. then the
and shall belong to those who come
over the sea"
The speaker said this prophecy had
been fulfilled, and had eliminated in
he overthrow of the monarchy. He

wi which the old kahuna had brought
lpon them.
Before leaving Waianae the leaders
II the party had their attention drawn

orty years that these fish had been
