ONE RULERS discussed Chinese
ss exclusion last evening, taking
much time and engendering
more warm feeling. There were many
| speeches. some hot air, and finally
when the tension became so strong that
the name of Delegate Wilcox was being
used rather too freely to please Mrs.
I Wilcox, she rose, and in accents which
showed some degree of warmth, de-
Tended her absent spouse osuch ef-
feet that the subject was dropped.
( The discussion came up over the re-
ceipt of the acknowledgment of the
receipt OF the resolutions adopted at
the Drillshed meeting in farewell of
Wilcox, which declared in favor Of the
exclusion OF Chinese. The question
which arose was whether or not the
resolution was In reality a Home Rule
production, or whether it was not from
an outsider, foisted upon the meeting
and thus committing the party to the
declarations. Prince Cupid threw the
bomb, and earnestly wanted To find the
man who had written the resolution.
The prince declared that he did not
in the opposition Of the Home Rulers
to exclusion. He declared that he was
not an exclusionist, but that he favor
ed restriction. He said he was in favor
OF everything that would be of benefit
10 the industries of the Islands In his
opinion there could be be brought here
a number OF Chinese who could be
imported only for field work, and who
could be deported as soon as they
showed an inclination to get into other
lines, such as would make them COM
petitors with any white man or Ha-
waiian
= Several speakers went into the mat
ter, citing the present competition or
the Orientals with the natives as sail
ors, as fishermen and as Iongshore-
men, and the final touch was given
to the matter when John Emmeluth in
a long speech declared against the
Orientals. and said that wilcox was
in favor Of the resolution as passed.
This aroused Mrs. Wilcox, and she re-
piled vigorously, saying that the dele
gate was always In favor nog Of exclu-
sion but OF restriction OF the immigra-
tion OF the OrlentaIs. This closed the
incident.
Early in the meeting the committee
which has in hand the preparations
for the mass meeting on Saturday
evening OF next week, reported prog
