San Francisco, May Ex-Governor
| Dole of Hawaii Is here on his way back
to Honolulu from Washington. whith-
er he was summoned by President
Roosevelt some weeks ago to tell OF
the conduct of his administration In
the Islands. Roosevelt. as has been
stated in the dispatches to the Chron.
icle. Endorsed the official acts of Cover
nor Dole and effectually quieteh the
storm against him raised by the Home
Rule party and antimissionary Repub
Leans of Hawaii. Dole tarried Ell
route from Washington at Riverside
and registered at the Occidental Hotel |
yesterday. He is booked to sail on the
steamship Alameda Saturday.
Il believe the Republican party is
growing stronger daily in Hawaii" said
the Governor. Robert Wilcox, who !
was elected Delegate to Congress two |
years ago as the candidate of the Home |
Rule party. will have no walkover this |
fall. when the general elections take |
place. His SUCCESS was due to his pres !
tige as revolutionist and his we'll |
known anti-white predictions. But
in his two years at Washington he has
fulfilled none of the promises he made
TO his followers, and his power is wan.
ing He told his constituents he would
have me removed and would give them
the control of the Federal patronage.
He has not done this. and the natives
are fast recognizing the strength OF
the Republican party and the urgency
of being in accord with the Admins
tration.
We have hopes that Congress will
appropriate the S2.OOO,0OO needful to
pay the claims of losers by the fires
in Hawaii during the bubonic plague
epidemic two years and half ago. The
Territory has not the money TO pay
these claims. The labor situation in
Honolulu is improving by the influx
. of japanese and the agreement among
the sugar planters not to hire laborers
who have forsaken their jobs without
q cause. | think the situation in the Isl.
, ands. both political and commercial. is
y extremely hopeful. President Roose.

d Dole of Hawaii has no idea of resign
|. ing. and he Is persuaded that the i'm
preston which seems to possess Sam
Parker and his friends on the subject
of Office is due to an imperfect sence OF
the meaning. value and uses of words

e Il had an extended conference with

:. Dole last night. We got personally

complete summary Of the political sit

II in very good health and do not see why

u and feel good over the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt shows every indication

Governor Dole will leave San Fran.
cisco for home on the steamer Alameda
next Saturday.
"Of course" continued the Governor.
Samuel Parker was never promised
my place, and do not know that he
ever said so miself directly. He is 2
+. fine native and has a good education
D. ! know him, and he Is no fool. But
sometimes a Hawaiian native will I'M
Intentionally place more meaning on
certain words than a white man. That
in my opinion, Is the explanation of all
70 this talk about Parker for Governor.
e. Parker is a leader in the Republican
& party in the Islands. Judging by an
o election last April in the Islands, the
r. Republicans are gaining strength from
- the native or Home Rule party.
J, What about Wilcox? The natives
sent him to Congress as the delegate
, from Hawaii. He seems TO be a good
politician, but in other ways he Is not
i an effective man. Apparently, he has
o no standing or influence at Washing
2 ton. He has promised much to the
natives, but has been unable to fulfil
his promises. On this account the ma
tive party will decline in influence.

Liliuokalani is receiving an annual
pension OF $500 from the Hawaiian
Government, and he does not know OF
q any movement at Washington to give
J. her further recognition. The crown
lands have been placed with other
public lands for disposal under Ha-
