Parker and the Prince--Why David
Kept 0ut--NO Fusion for
Sewal.

The question of where the Indepen-
Cent party sets is money for trans
portation. luaus. halls. headquarters
and salaries was revealed yesterday by
a man high In the councils or that or
ganizatlon. Contrary to report Prince
David Il not putting up out Of the for
tune which the Kapiolani Estate now
has In ready money. The fund comes
from the rich Chinese. who have had
assurances that the native Legislature.
u elected. viii appropriate a vast sum
90 pay the Chinatown fire claims.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Testa's paper
said that II the Independent party won,
the Ere claims would be liquldated.
This vas a self-evident bid for the
slnews % war. Testa did not get con-
troll of the organization but those who
did took the hint and followed IL up
with "a scent well-sharpened by pre-
vious experience with Chinese lobby

said an independent leader just as he
was leaving for the big luau. The
Chinese were outrageously treated by
the Board of Health and their losses Of
over n million dollars must be made
good. This is but simple justice % an
Industrious class of people whom the
missionaries have used az badly as they
have us. Enough money ought 70 be
levied % pay the Ere losses In full,
principal and interest 20 date. We
shall establish n Hawaiian Court OF
Claims and rush the bills through. and
We shall also. as Mr.. Wilcox said the
other day. reorganize the Board OF
Health putting either DIT. Russell or a
native Hawaiian at the head Of IL and
providing him with a salary. While
that body exists the Chinese are %
have fair play and not be disturbed in
their housekeeping OF course they are
lexpected TO make no nulsances. but no
one without a warrant will be sent
noslnE around 20 see n their houses
are spiCk and span. The Chinese ap-
preciate this policy and will aid the In
dependent party BY every means ir
their power"
Speaking of the organization OF tbs
independent party this same leadei
said; We shall sweep the Islands
