A Commotion in Honolulu.

On the same day that Carter received his
letter from the President press dispatches
received by the Honolulu papers told of his
having received such a commission. The
fact, therefore. became public, and Carter
announced that before leaving for Wash
ington he was anxious to consult with
leaders of all parties and representatives
of all factions. The result was that many
callers had conferences with him in order
that he might understand their positions
Press dispatches have stated that the Presi-
dent proposes making Carter the secretary
of the territory. To interviewers In Hawaii
he stated that he was not candidate for
any position. but did not state that he
would refuse the secretaryship.
1t is thought in Honolulu that If Presi-
dent Roosevelt decides to ask for the resig-
nation of Governor Dole he will at the
same time call for number of other resig
nations. The judiciary is involved as well
as the executive department. and a clean
ing out there may be made. G. F. II.
Evening star., 1902-02-25

statement of the situation in the territory.
The letter was complete surprise to the
recipient, who has never met Roosevelt
and did not know that the chief executive
was aware of his existence.
Carter's task is compared in Hawaii to
that which President Cleveland imposed
upon the late J. II. Blount of Georgia,
when the latter was sent to Hawaii after
the overthrow of the monarchy. to investi-
gate. n paramount commissioner. what
had taken place. and report to Washington.
Since Carter received his letter. he has had
much the same experience as Bount had,
having been called on by party leaders of
all kinds and business men generally. who
were desirous of getting their views before
him before he left for Washington. The
Presidents letter indicated that he expected
Carter to write a statement. but Carter
preferred to see the President in person.

General Reorganization Expected.

In Hawaii the impression prevails that
the action of the President portends a gen
eral rganiZation of the territorial gov
ernment. Ever since the organic act by
which Hawaii was made a territory went
into effect the islands have been torn by
political dissensions. There has been
continuous campaign against Governor
Dole. the main movers being the royalists
of the old days and their sympathiZers.
Visitors to Washington have followed one
another, large number of them trying to
have Dole removed, though no charge has
ever been brought against him such as
would warrant investigation. or be rea-
son 70" removal. Just before Carter re-
ceived his letter it was reported in Homo
lulu that the President had decided that III
order to bring about a harmonious admin
istration in the new territory it was best to
ask for the re esgnation of Dole. and it was
also reported that Samuel Parker was to
succe ed him.
