''O|LY'' BILL
ON THE RACK

n. Home Rulers claim that they have
effected a fusion with the rabd antl-Dole
wing OF the Republican party, for the
purpose Of securing the removal OF Gov
ernor Dole, the appointment Of success
sor mutually acceptable 20 them. and
subsequent equitable division Of the Of
nces
They propose to send delegation 20
wait on President Mckinley at San Fran
cisco and make representations TO him
which they believe will accomplish their
objects. Beckley and Wilcox and possi-
bly, Kalauokalani are stated to be the
men who will undertake this branch OF
the work. going forward for the purpose
on the Mariposa. They expect that Sam
Parker will accompany them and give
them his assistance. They viii take with
them copy Of the Beckley resolution
passed by the Home Rule members of
the House, which asks for Dole's rcmov-
al for having refused TO extend the ses-
sion; also copies Of all the bills which
were pocket-vetoed by the Governor The
ones which they think will be most dam
aging to the Governor are the County bill
and the Liiuokalani Pension bill for
$3.50, ,OOO both of which he allowed to die.
They expect to meet II. NJ. Sewall, Re-
publican national committeeman. in San
Francisco, and that he also will render
them active assistance in their project.
They will be satisfied with the appoint
ment of either Parker or Sewall as Doles
successor. Judge Humphreys has
"'opes," but the Home Rulers think he
is a little too rapid in his desires, as
he is but recent accession.
Their present intention Is to slash the
Appropriation bill In such parts as may
be most dsagreeable to the Governor. In
revenge for his refusal to extend the reg
ular session, thereby preventing them
from passing the measures that they had
promised their constituents. they having
now practically nothing accomplished to
show for their two months work and
upwards of $4,000 expenditure.
They are much incensed at Senator
White, who they claim sold out to the
Republicans in confirming any of the
Governors nominations after having
agreed that none but native Hawaiians
should be approved. They also charge
that "Oily Bill" sold them out to the
whisky ring and was responsible Tor the
free joint that was conducted In room
adjoining the Senate cndmoeF "heie
.liuuid comfort" was dispensed with
lavish hand to the weary Legislators.
Garibaldi Wilcox and White are still at
outs over the tacking on of the name
'Repuhlican" to the Home Rule party.
Wilcox argues that names amount TO
nothing-that they will not be Republl-
cans in Hawaii, but in Washington only,
and as he Is the only member or the
party there 1t need not bother the other
members who remain in Hawaii. White
declines to give adhesion to this view. lie
has no more use for the Republicans
name than their principles.
Humphreys is urging that the Home
Rulers ignore the Governors Limitation
of the call for special session Tor the
consideration of the Appropriation Dill
alone and that they take up general leg
islation again. They have not yet den-
nitely decided to do this, but they are
much encouraged over their success In
having turned down three members OF
the Cabinet, and claim that but for
treachery of certain of their Senators
they would have ousted all of Dole's ap-
pointees and eventually secured the ap-
pointment of their own men, by holding
up the Loan and Appropriation bills untl
the Governor was starved into supmls-
sion.
They claim that the appointment OF
Royd and Wright is Home Rule VIC
tory. these names among others, having
been named by them in caucus as desir-
ed by them, and they think that In re-
turn for their support there will be some
vacancies created and filled by their men.
