With the closing of the lease upon
the Hilo hotel, which expires the middle
of the month, w. C. Peacock & Com
pany will cease to operate that hostel
ry. The hotel has not proved a profit
able investment and the simultaneous
expiration OF the lease and the license
makes Il wise for the firm to close out
ITS interests, which include the furnish
ings. The furniture has been offered
for sale and will be disposed Of at the

that a syndicate stands ready to take
over the hotel and has tried to purchase
the furnishings at a figure much below
the valuation put on them by the pres

EVA PLANTATION REDUCES
ITS DIVIDEND ONE-HALF

The news reached the brokers early
but despite the break the Eva shares
did not weaken on the boards. A pro-
minent shareholder said yesterday, that
the present prices obtained for sugar
are such that the old dividend could
not possibly be paid. rise of a quar-
ter of a cent would make matters right
and the dividend of $4,000 a month
could be issued with ease. A rise Of a

| w kuina and Poepoe formed &
group which flung Wilcoxisms
about with ready tongues last night
in the big lot back OF Liliuokalani's
premises in Kapalana. All appealed to
| the natives to vote for the Home Rule
| ticket as being their only road to saliva
| ton. and each appealed in his own
familiar way for the county bill with
out which the country would go to
ruin. County government. they said,
meant Hawairs admission into the
union of States with two senator's and
one representative In Congress. Wilcox
said. with the utmost ease, that Ari-
zona, Oklahoma and New Mexico were
that this would give each OF them two
senators and representative. Hawaii
should follow suit and she too would
enjoy the same privileges. One of the
sensations of the evening was the ap-
pearance of Moses Nakuina, who has
recently been connected with the Re-
publican party, and who is identified
with large number OF evangelical
movements and with the Hawaiian
Board of Missions. who said in the
loudest voice he could command that
the missionaries were id fools"
Another point which all the speakers
tried to impress on the audience, was
that whenever the Republicans orl
Democrats should approach them with
money before election. they should take
it and promise to vote for them, but
when election day came they must put
their ballots in the box for Wilcox and
the Home Rulers.
The meeting was largely attended,
although Nakuina, who did not suspect
the presence of reporters, said that il
any body asked how many were at the
meeting to tell thens that there were
not more than dozen auditors, SO that
the other parties would not know they
had any strength in the district. !.
Wilcox was the last speaker of the
evening and he finished shortly after
II O'Clock. He began by referring TO
the time thirteen years ago when he
and many others met In the same lot, |
shouldered guns and marched to the !
palace to fight for their rights and
against the enemy, which he said was
