WHAT PARKER SAYS.
WASHINGTON, January %. = Col
onel Samuel Parker of Honolulu
told an intimate friend today that
President Roosevelt had promised
to appoint him Governor of Hawaii in
about two weeks to succeed Sanford
b. Dole. Parker said George r. Car
ter had also been a candidate, but had
withdrawn in Parkers favor, with the
understanding that he was to be ap-
pointed Secretary of the Territory to
succeed Henry Z. Cooper. This ar
rangement, said Parker. was satisfac-
tory to the President, as tending to set
tie the squabbies that have prevailed in
Hawaii for a long time. Parker said
he explained to the President that the
natives and monarchists, whom he rep
resented. have no fight to make against
the United States. and are perfectly
cOntented, except that the present Ter
ritorial government is antagonistic to
them and constantly stirs up trouble.
With the administration friendly to
them, they declare, no more loyal citi-
zens will be found under the Stars and
Stripes than the native Hawaiians.
GOV. DOLE HEARS NOTHING.
Governor DOle, on examining his
mail, said there was nothing of impor-
lance from Washington. The only let
bodying the request of some gentleman,
probably of the clerical corps, for his
autograph He said his communications
from Washington since President
Roosevelt came in had been, as in the
time of President Mckinley, entirely
cordial in tone All complaints made
from here about the Territorial admin
istration had been referred back to
him. and none of them had caused him
worry, or had seemed to make disquiet
at Washington.
CARTER DENIES KNOWLEDGE.
Senator George r. Carter said last
evening: Il have never been candi-
date for the office of Governor or Sec
rotary of Hawaii have never aspired
