WASHlNGTON ID. G., Feb. 2s.-For
four days people IN Washington nave
been looking for the arrival of George
r Carter. His Journey here from Hoo
uDlulu has been well advertised In the
local newspapers. and the status Of po-
l.tical affairs In the Islands from differ
cnt viewpoints has been heralded In
print here On anticipation OF MIR. Car
tors coming. Even his picture has
been published. so that there are scores
uf people who would recognize the
bearer Of advice TO President Roosevelt
when he arrives.
This is Thursday, and last Tuesday
MIR. william Haywood had a telegram
from Mr. Carter in New York. asking
II he could communicate with him by
long distance telephone. Mr.. Haywood
had no idea what sort Of communica-
, ton Mr. Carter wanted TO make. As
! the telephone wires were out Of order
| from the severe storm Of rain and sleet
that forthwith put the telegraph lines
also out OF commission, Mr.. Haywood
P tclegraphed back TO ask II what he
wished to say was sufficiently import
ant 10 warrant him Haywood making
I a trip TO New York. No answer was
received and nothing further has been
heard TO date Of Mr.. Carter's where
abouts. The only communication with
New York. except for messages OF sr-
IRENE importance that are sent by way
OF Chicago or by some other round
about route. is by mail.
Miss COrdelia Carter has been visit
ing the Misses Hartwell on Sixteenth
street. but left for Boston a day or two
ago, after telegraphng in vain 10 To-
cate her brother. II Is thought he may
have gone on there 20 visit her, as this
has been "A very busy week for the
President and there would be little OPP
pOrtunity for an interview Of much
length, regarding Hawaii. Prince Hen
rs has been here two days Of the week
President Roosevelt has been absent
little over one day 70 the launching
OF the Meteor, the German Emperor's
yacht. and then on yesterday much or
his time was occupied with the NcKln-
ley Memorial exercises at the Capitol
Prince Henry stays here day or two
yet, and accordingly the President IL
deyoting considerable Of his time to the
royal visitor
II was stated at the White House to-
day that Mr.. Carter would have an In
terview with President Roosevelt early
next week, and It Is understood that a
communication has been received there
from him 10 this effect
The announcements from San Fran
cisco, as soon as Mr.. Carter landed,
that he proposed to advocate the selec-
ton OF Mr.. II. =. Baldwin as governor.
has awakened considerable local inter
est. The notable thing about II, how
ever. Is that advlces by telegraph are
understood to have reached here de-
claring stoutly that Mr.. Baldwin will
not accept the office, as he Ia unable
10 spare the time from his business.
An opinion prevails here that the can
didacy Of Mr.. Baldwin was fixed up
between Mr.. Carter and J. J.. Cook, Mr..
Baldwin's son-in-law. who Is said
TO have some political bees buzzing
around near his headgear.
Col Sam Parker's denial that he has
told anybody he was 20 be governor OF
Hawaii. as printed in the San Fran
cisco and Honolulu papers. IA attract
ing some attention here, and may get
him into further trouble with the Pres
ident, for there are Honolulu people
right here In Washington who may go
before the President with "A clipping OF
Col. Parker's interview. and agree To
make affidavit that such a statement
f. untrue.
The Misses Hartwell left here yester-
day for their old home in South Natick,
Mass.
! Mr. Haywood. in discussing the Gu
ban situation, said today that he agreed
with my statement that no man could
tell just now just what Congress would
do. II want to make a guess. howev-

guess viii come out about right. 1t
viii be a 20 per cent reciprocity ar
rangement."
The friends Of Hawaii here are much
pleased at the Incorporation in the
Ways and Means resolution and in the
bill drawn by Chairman Payne, of the
proviso that Cuba must first enact the
immigration laws of the United states
before the proposed reciprocity shall be
put into force. As II is reasoned here
that provlso, II enacted into law, Will
practically nulllfy any effect the reci-
procity arrangement otherwise might
have. II viii restrict the labor supply
and prevent the importation of Chinese
labor. 1t might be that the Cubans
