Not until after the Republican con-
vention in September will there be any
decision as to how far the Democracy
will go in its affiliation with the VIII
cox Home Rulers This was decided
yesterday after a long conference.
which closed without any definite con-
clusion, other than that there would De
future communications, some time
early in THE following month
The meeting between the Home Rule
leaders and Democracy's fore rank or
ganizers was that which has been in
anticipation ever since the return OF
Wilcox and CaypIess from the states
Both were then confident that the local
organiza ton of Democrats wound wei
come the suggestion OF conference
with the Delegate. coming as he did
with a letter suggesting that the locals
follows the advice CT Senator Black
burn and close up with the Independ-
ents.

DEMOCRATS WILL NOT
UNITE WITH WILCOX NOW

After two months of waiting the
meeting was held yesterday afternoon.
there being present six persons. VIII
cox and his alter ego Edgar Caypless
represented the Home Rule party.
while in company with National Com
mitteeman Cornwel of the Democrats
were s. n. Damon, E. B. McClanahan
and c. J. Mccarthy. The object Of the
gathering was stated by Mr.. CayplesS.
who seemed to act as the manager Of
the Home Rule party, TO be the con-
sideration Of a basis upon which the
two parties might act. While it was
not stated in so many words, the I'M
preston left upon the minds OF some
by Caypless' words, was that wilcox
had seen his error in making Republi-
cans out OF Home Rulers last year. and
now wanted to baptIZe them into the
Democratic faith.
There resulted a long discussion of
ways and means, of plan for semi
union. for endorsement of candidates.

quirtette club. Lorrin Andrews, presi-
dent of the club under whose auspices
the meeting is to be held, will preside
and introduce Senator Thurston. There
will be on the platform Chairman A.
G.. M Robertson and Secretary Col. ].
H Fisher. of the Republican Territorial
committee, ]. P. Cooke. chairman of the
Fourth District committee, w. c. Achi,
chairman of the Fifth District commit
tee, and the officers of the Young MEMS
Club.
The meeting is expected to attract a
large gathering and the men who are
IN charge of the affair will devote their
time during the remainder of the week,
to securing the attendance of the citi-
zens irrespective of party affiliations
The meeting will take the form of an
address rather than of a stump speech,
and it is expected that there will be a
large attendance of ladies, who are
particularly requested to be present.
There will be special sections of the
hall reserved for these specially invited
guests. and the expectation is that the
Orpheum VIII be more than filed.

ton OF the evening, ne Will be follow

will devote ten minutes to a synopsis

the purpose of fixing in their minds the
points raised, through the vernacular
Should the address mentioned not
consume all the evening there will be

and talk of the necessity for the parties
acting in harmony in this campaign.
The members of the comforting party
were requested TO say nothing about
the results or the words uttered, but
it became gossip later in the afternoon
that Wilcox was willing to give away
nearly half his ticket for the legisla-
ture on this island, and representation
on the others, in consideration of an
endorsement for Delegate, and or an
agreement that the minority party
should not nominate in any event.
1t is understood that the plan con-
templated the nomination of one of the
candidates for senator on this island
by the Democrats and three legislative
candidates in each district.
On Maui Col. Cornwell may be sub
stituted for William White on the sem
atorial ticket and Palmer Wood in
sured election on the combination tick
ct on Hawaii.
There was some discussion of plans
for a union and the range was wide.
The feeling however among the men
who represent the Democracy was that
Caypless wanted to lead them into an
unqualified Endorsement of Wilcox for
reelection, and that was farther than
they wanted to go just now.
The result was that the Democrats.
believing that there may be such a
ticket named by the Republican con-
vention as will enable them to stand
by it cut the meeting short and re-
fused to have anything to do with the
Home Rulers, until the Republicans
shall have met and nominated.
There was much talk among the rank
and file of both parties that evening,
some maintaining that the union would
yet come about, and others holding to
the belief that the Democrats who have
all along expressed the belief that Will
cox should not be returned to Congress,
would stand out until they find can

cries. Much dependence was placed in
the testimony of All Sui, who is ac-
credited with being an honest, truth

verdict the jury was largely influenced
by his testimony.
All the Chinese who were sleeping in
the rear of the Kwong Wong Tai prem

ed before the jury yesterday afternoon.

The Chinese who was thought to nave

morning, having gone to Eva the

three daily sessions, in which they dis
credit the rumors that the fire was or

on a counter in the store of the kwonS
Wong Tai Company in the winston
block. Hotel street. whether the lamp
was overturned by a cat or not. was
NOT determined by the jury. although
the evidence pointed largely to a feline
pet of the neighborhood having been

the Hotel street butcher, who discoV-
cred the fire and raised the alarm, was
to the effect that when he heard the
crash of breaking glass after ne hao

back, peeped into the interior through
the cracks in the board sections FORM

HOHN NJ. THURSTON OF Nebraska,
former Senator from that state
A1 and known as one of the most
eloquent and forceful speakers in
the nation, will open the Republican
campaign in Hawaii. At the request
of the special committee of the Young
Mems Republican club yesterday the
visitor to Honolulu accepted the invita-
ton to make the address, and agreed
with the members that Saturday even
ing would be a proper time for the
gathering.
The meeting Will be one of the most
important that has been held in the
Territory, since it was made an inte-
grail portion of the United states. For
mer Senator Thurston is one OF the
most sought after orators in the Re-
publican party. He, has reputation
for convincing, persuasive eioquence
that is second to none, and that his
presence in Hawaii at this time renders
it possible to secure his services for the
party, is a matter for congratulations
His fame has grown since, as tempor-
airy chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Convention at ST. Louis in 1898,
he brought the thousands of delegates
and visitors to their feet with cheers
to punctuate his periods. Ten thou
sand people listened to that speech and
since that day Thurston has been the
man most sought by managers of cam
paigns.
The meeting will be held at the Or
pheum, Saturday evening, commencing
at 8 o'clock. The address OF the prin-
cipaI speaker Of the evening will COM
mence soon after that hour, the time
between the opening Of the doors and
the calling of the meeting to order be-
ing filled in by the music either OF the
Hawaiian band, which has holiday

GIVEN TO
NEW BISHOP

The Right Reverend II. B. Restarick,
Honolulu people formally last evening,
at a reception given at the Royal Ha-
waiian Hotel by the congregations of
St Andrews and ST. Clements. For an
hour and a half double line of guests

Restarick and Miss Restarick, and un-
til, late hour the lanais of the hotel
were crowded by those who grathered
to formally welcome the churchman.

gave the evening to meeting friends and
showing their appreciation of the COM
ing of new head of the church. whose
popularity was attested by the scores
of old friends who were among the
guests.
The hotel was beautifully and taste
gully decorated for the occasion, and
the reception parlors and the lanais
were transformed into bowers of green
cry by the festooning of vines and leis,
the touch of color being added by the
draping of large American flags on the
lanais. The Waikiki lanai was the one
on which the greatest amount of work
was done and the effects were tropical
and lent to the music and the bright
gowns of the ladies an air of the SEN
suous delights of the islands, which ap-
peaIed with directness of the visitors
from abroad.
Among the many guests other than
the members of the two congregations
and residents of the city were Senator
and Mrs John NJ. Thurston and Mrs.
Burton, wife of the senator from Kan
sas, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Highton. Of

pressed by the scenes, the decorative
effects and the entertainment. The
band gave it's concert on the grounds
in honor of the occasion and the pro-
gram was highly appreciated.
On the Eva Ianais of the hotel the
refreshments were served and at small
tables the guests enjoyed ices and
lemonade, with the usual accompani-
ments. The management of the hotel
was to a great extent responsible for
the success of the entire affair. for the
rooms were placed at the disposal of
the committee of ladies, and in addi-
ton there were such contributions to
the entertainment as made it in every
way enjoyable. The reception. given
