There is still a small force employed
at the new market, but the number Is
not of sufficient size to do anything
else than look after what stock re-
mains on hand. There has been no
attempt to wait on customers. In fact,
day before yesterday evening. the Ho-
nolulu people telephoned to their pat
rons to send their orders. In the fu-
ture, to the Metropolitan Meat Com
pany.
What the plans Of the purchasing
company are, have not been determine
ed upon definitely as yet. 1t is not
likely that the stockholders will feel
like running two shops. The general
opinion seems to be that the plant that
has been secured will be moved to the
King street place of business. There
may be some slight increase in the
working force of the Metropolitan
company, but the number Of people
taken on will not be large.
1t is credibly reported, though the
story could not be affirmed officially
last night, that the stockholders Of the
new market viii get thirty cents on
the dollar, payable in Metropolitan
shares.

TMr. Stewart spoke to me about
bringing the matter before the execu
tive committee by resolution" said Mr..
Carter yesterday. He also spoke to
others about 1t. He wanted to request
Sewalls regisnation by resolution.
Some said that this would not be
wise move. as this might be consider
ed a harsh way In which to procure
the resignation AS l am not a mem
ber of the committee I am not sure
whether the resolution was actually
carried, but L know it was brought to
the attention of several of the mem
bers.
Sam Parker, in order TO bring the
matter to a close at the earliest date
States, I'm going to see SewalI and
ask him to resign in my favor An
other Republican, who was also anx-
ious to get the matter settled so that
we could have a national committee
man who resided here, and acting en-
tirely without the knowledge of what
Parker had in mind. wrote to SewalI
asking him 10 resign in his favor If
he thought that would settle the mat
ter amicably."
T. Maunalei Stewart, who intimated
| that the Advertiser had told a direct
lie in its statements as TO the Sewau
resignation, was asked whether or not
such resolution had actually been
presented to the committee, or was
merely in his keeping, or was even in
tended to have been presented. Mr..
Stewart suavely replied, Il have said
there was not a word of truth in 1t.
'But,~do you deny that such reso-
luton was to be brought, or that Mr..
Sewall's resignation has not been call
ed for?"
Il say there is not a word of truth
! in it. l am courteous and l die cour-
teous. 1 have been in New York. and
therefore 1 am always willing to well
come the newspaper men, but 1 am
courteous; yes. and I die courteous"
Then you will neither affirm nor
deny that Mr.. Sewall's resignation has
been requested?"
Il am courteous, etc. was the witty
and only answer, that Mr.. Stewart
would vouchsafe.
