when the Sierra, with Mr. Dole

April 2. ! went out In a launch to meet
the Governor. but was not allowed to
board the Sierra as the yellow flag New
until 6 O'Clock.
On account OF the plague IN sydney,
the authorities were very rigid I'm their
examination of the passengers. and al
lowed only the first class passengers
and the mail and hand baesage to be
landed about o'clock in the evening
1he other passengers and the vessel
were detained in quarantine until the
next day. As the Sierra was two days
late In getting here owing 60 a delay
in starting from Australia, the Oceanic
Company was good deal worried
over the probability of missing the Eu
rOpean mail, which is 10 leave New
York tomorrow. John u. Spreckels
and w. G. Irwin went out in a special
tug to the Sierra about 4 o'clock, and
the mail was rushed ashore. Then the
first-class passengers. including Cover
nor Dole and Lorrin \. Thurston. were
taken aboard the tug and landed at the
Oceanic wharf.
NO FRILLS OR FUSS.
A big crowd had gathered TO meet
Incoming friends. but there was no de-
monstration at sight of the Governor
other than the desperate efforts of
newspaper photographers 10 catch him
as he moved. The Governor was among
the first TO step ashore. and did me the
corutesy to single me out from the
waiting groups and chat about the
news OF the mainland. a carriage was
waiting for him, and he went at once
to the Occidental hotel. where rooms
had been reserved. The Governor occu-
pied the same apartments in which
Samuel Parker was married TO Mrs.
Campbell During the evening Cover
ner Dole was called upon by score of
leading citizens and Hawaiians visiting
here. His reception room was banked
with flowers. and "A continuous process
sion of bellboys brought cards during
his stay at the hotel.
Although loath to be interviewed, he
made an appointment with the report
ers Of the three morning papers for
$50 o'clock on the evening Of his ar
rival, and when they gathered around
rim he answered all questions put him.
The Examiner was represented by Ed
ward Hamilton. it's leading writer, the
Call by Louis Levy. and at the request
Of the Chronicle ] represented that pa
per as well as the Advertiser Hamil-
ton did most of the questioning, but be-
ing unfamiliar with island affairs did
net probe the Governor as deeply as a
kamaaina would have. Levy said moth
ing but took notes. The Governor re-
Piled to all questions freely, but refus-
ed 10 discuss his mission to Washing
ten. eaying only that he had been re-
auested by President Roosevelt through
oSorge Carter to call upon him. He af-
kfrned. however. his intention not to re-
sign his office, and said that he had
never had any intention to resign.
Lorrin A. Thurston was present dur
ing the interview What ! wrote for
HAS MADE NO REPLY.
Sanford Ballard pole.t Governor of
Uncle Sans island Territory and for
merly President OF the Republic of Ha-
wall, is here en- route to- Washington
to discuss the affairs Of his administra-
ton with President Roosevelt. He goes
to the National Capitol at the request
OF the President. who wants to see
what manner Of man is he who has
been 80 desperately fought by an infiu-
entail faction in Hawaii. and who has
said nothing in reply to the thousand
statements made that he Is an auto
crat. un-American. insane and even not
a Republican.
The President has asked Dole to drop
his duties in Honolulu for a few weeks
and answer In person some of the
questions about island matters which
are not quite plain to the Executive.
Some weeks ago George II. Carter, a
Hawaiian Senator and a Honolulu bank
er, went on to Washington on the same
mission. He Ii a friend Of Dole and !
when Roosevelt and he had talked sew
eral times about things Hawaiian, Car
ter suggested that Dole could go deep |
err into the vexatious points and prove |
the error OF those who had been stir |

tics. |
WITH REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY. |
Roosevelt said for Carter to send for
Dole, and SO the Governor is here. He
came with none of the ceremony which |
attended his advent in the old days, |
when he was ruler over the Provisional |
Government of Hawali and later Pres |
ident OF the tiny republic. No powder
was burned as of yore, no officers in |
gold lace ushered him ashore, but with /
the simplicity of true republican, he |
landed at the Oceanic wharf in a
crowded tug, after being held for some |
hours on the Sierra near Angel island !
