| John c. Lane. member OF the Repub-
iican Territorial Central Committee
from the Fifth district. and vice chair
man OF the body. yesterday sent 10
Secretary J. III. Fisher his resignation
both from the committee and the Office
which he now holds. Mr.. Lane Is pre-
pairing TO take the ground that his re-
tirement may facilitate the reorgani-
ration OF the committee. which seems
Inevitable owing TO the many reslgna-
lions which have taken place recently.
The letter which Mr.. Lane sent to
the committee is az follows:
Honolulu. June "a. 1902.
-. IL Fisher. Esq. Secretary Terrific
rial Central Committee.
Dear Sir: Believing that recent
events have so denoraiized our party
organization that n reorganization Is
necessary upon the basis OF recent
changes. and desiring TO make the
work as easy as possible and to pro-
mote the harmony and success OF the
party. I do hereby tender my resigna-
ton as member OF the Territorial Cen
trail Committee and as vice chairman
thereof am, dear sir. very sincerely
yours. JNO. C. LANE"
When seen yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Lane explained his action at some
length His retirement. he said. was
due entirely TO the reasons set forth in |
his letter. and not from any desire to
please one faction or embarrass those
who are working for pure Republican,

run for the election. In fact. and that
he was now placing his resignation in
the hands OF the committee so that
there might be a free field in the reor-
yanIzation.
