WISE AND HOLT CANE
ONLY DELEGATES ON THE RIO
DE JANEIRO.
Republicans Get UP Decorations Pro
vide Band and Big Reception for
the Benefit of Democrats.

John II. Wise and ]. Holt was the
only delegate who returned on the Rio
this afternoon. There was a large
crowd of Republicans on the wharf to
meet them with a band secured by the
Republicans, and the wharf was brill
liantly decorated by members of the
Republican committee. Colonel Fisher
and few other impatient members of
the committee, went to meet the steam
er in a launch, which was bright with
yellow leis and other decorations. Out
side the harbor they made the discovery
that the lonely Democrats were
committeeman on board, and they re-
turned to the wharf to tell the disap-
pointing news.
The passengers on the Rio wondered
what it was all about, when they saw
the bright decorations on the wharf and
heard Berger's band greeting them
with patriotic airs. There was a ban
ner stretched across the wharf with
pictures of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
which was the only feature of the re-
ception that was not appropriate to
the homecoming of Johnny Wise, ex-
cept the fact that the crowd had a
strong Republican flavor. There was a
general laugh at the expense of the
band and those who had secured and
made the decorations, when it became
known that Wise and Holt only had
come.
The disappointed Republicans, who
admitted that the laugh was on them
began to take down decorations before
the steamer had docked. But Berger
was not so easily discouraged. He hat
come to give a concert and he gave one
when Johnny Comes Marching Home
was given while the steamer was being
brought round and John Brown s

REPORT 70 washington.
ONE is REQUIRED OF GOVERNOR
DOLE.
Interior Department Wants to Know
All About the Islands in Past Two
Years-Difficulties in the Way.

Governor Dole will have to make up
a most elaborate report for the CEN
tral government this year. 1t will COM
bine all of the details of conditions here
upon which any inquirer could possibly
desire information. The report will
have to be submitted as soon as it can
be prepared.
The instructions in regard to the re-
port came by the mail this morning
from the Secretary of Interior. A let
ter covering two pages of type written
matter explains the instructions. Mr..
Dole is asked to report on conditions
of business, values, lands, land trans
fers, railroads, all legislation, popula-
ton, nationalities and everything else
since July Z, 1898. 1t is not hard to
see that the task at this time is an inn
mense one. AS the reports from the
departments and bureaus will not be
filed until January, 1t will be difficult
to get at some of the data required.
United States requires that Cover
nors of Territories make reports an
nually, The difference with Governor
Dole is that his report must be for two
years and must be made between times
as it were, or at about the middle of
the Hawaiian governmental year.
To get up the information the Cover.
nor will probably have to ask bureau
heads for advance reports.

THE EXTRA STAR.

The extra Star told the news of the
horrors in China to the people of this
Island from one end of it to the other.
With the first Coast papers secured

preparation of the extra edition of the
Star began, and by few minutes after
8 o'clock the complete story of the late
tragic and awful happenings in China
was being read all over town from its
columns.
The outgoing trains on the Oahu Rail-
road took bundles of the extra, and
messengers carried it over the Pail. So
that by early this. afternoon there is
probably not point on this Island
where the news has not reached.

extraordinary showing the keen inter-

Bow Wongs, said 1--WE sincerely regret
that the Boxers and their leaders have
been guilty of such an outrage. 1t de-
monstrates to what desperate ends the
men of the anti-foreign element Will
go to hurt those whom they do not like,
Not only should the perpetrators of the
outrage be punished but the leaders and
the Dowager Empress especially should
be made to suffer for melting the pop
ulace to murder We do not of course,
approve of any ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Chi
ma and do not, moreover, think that the
Powers contemplate such course. This
act of the Boxers shows the necessity
of the reform element being put into

Soaking the seeds of this tree in boiling
