duty of the court not to deal lightly with
them and to show that they are not regard
ed lightly.

POLITICS IN HAW All

Correspondence of the Associated Press
HONOLULU. November 20 (via San
Francisco. November oSl.-The election in
Hawaii has by no means brought an end
of politics, but has rather given opportun-
ity for the outbreak Of a more bitter fight
than ever between the so-called missionary
and anti-mssioHary wings, or Dole and
anti-Dole factions Of the republican party
Each is busily accusing the other of hav-
ing knitted the ticket and helped to cause
the republican defeat and Independent sue

A. B. .LoebenStein of Hilo has made two
unsuccessful efforts to have local courts
listen to arguments that the election of
Wilcox as delegate to Washington was il
legal. I.oebenstein claims that the re is no
law under which the election of a delegate
could be accomplished, territorial election
laws to cover the point not having been
enacted yet. Attorney General Dole re-
fused to take any steps on the ground that
Congress is the only judge of the qualifi-
cations of its members, and today First
Circuit Judge Humphreys also refused to
summon Wilcox to make answer to the is
sues raised
Secretary Gage of the Treasury Depart
ment has suggested to Governor Dole that
duties on imports may be paid in San Fran
cisco and the receipts accepted here by the
local collector of customs. Nearly or quite
all of the importers of European goods
which. are dutiable have agents in San
Francisco. and always have money from
that side due. The adoption of Secretary
Cages plan win put an end to serious
steady drain from Hawaii.

ALLEGED TALK OF DEFIANCE
REPORTED ATTITUDE OF TURKISH
MINISTRY.
Disturbed Over the Appearance of the
Kentucky No Hostile
Significance.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-Cable ad-
vices say that the Vienna Tagebla,t pub
fishes a dispatch from Constantinople to
the effect that the Turkish council of min
listers have held conference to determine
whether or not the sending of the United
States battle ship Kentucky to Smyrna
should be regarded as an act of hostility.
According to the Tageblatt's dispatch the
home minister urged the severance of diplo-
matte relations with the United States, and
even went so far as to threaten war unless
the Kentucky should be withdrawn from
Turkish waters The ministers express the
belief that the European powers would not
permit the United States to attack Turkey,
and that that country, therefore, would be
safe in taking defiant attitude.
The Kentucky Mt Smyrna.
Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish minister
here, called at the State Department this
morning to see Secretary Hay relative to
the visit of the big battle ship Kentucky
to Turkish waters. The Kentucky sailed
from Naples last Saturday and arrived at
the important Turkish port of Smyrna this
morning only a few hours before the min
isters visit.
After his talk with Secretary Hay the
minister declared that the Kentucky's visit
conveyed no menace to Turkey and that 1t
had no bearing upon the diplomatic rela-
tions between the Turkish government ana
the United States. He asserted with the
greatest positiveness that the sultan cher
ished the kindliest feelings toward Presi-
dent Mckinley and that the relations be
tween the two governments were most
amcable.
Inquiry at the State and Navy Depart
ments today as to the Kentucky's mission
elected the simple statement that the visit
of the battle ship to Smyrna had no hostile
significance The kentucky is en- route to
China and her trip to Smyrna will make
only slight delay in her program.
Meanwhile it is understood that the ne
gotiations between Mr.. Griscom, our charge
at Constantinople. and the porte for the
settlement of the missionary claims and
the question as to DR.. Norton's exequatur
as consul at Harpoot are progressing with

The Chinese in quarantine at the Ka-

this is the Chinese new year, the most
important day in their calendar They
want to celebrate 1t, or at least they

large number of articles in order that
they may celebrate. Among them ara
one can of peanut oil, and $4,000 fira
crackers.
The Chinese will celebrate new years

thing for the celebration that their
friends would send in. Today live
ducks and chickens are coming in in
great numbers. One particular place
in the Chinese quarters has been d,
signated where they can be killed and
| cleaned. The feathers are all being pu.
in bags. Fire crackers will be allowed
to be fired at one particular place to
be designated and within specified
hours.
