CARTER WOULD BE
HER CANDIDATE
Ditch Bill and Tramwsys Occupied
His Attention to Exclusion
OF Public Matters.

N Yo more OF Wilcox for ex-Queen
nj Liliuokalani was the gossip Of
the street yesterday. and al
though no source OF the talk
could be traced, the statements made
by the members of the Hui Ruokoa
were so positive that 1t appeared TO
have a substantial foundation.
The comment set out with degree
of detail a conversation that the for
mer Queen had with member of the
new party, in which the psround had
been traversed, covering the recent po-
litical upheaval and the prospects or
the various candidates whose names
have been mentioned. According TO b.
LiliuokalanI told her caller that she
had made close study of the Delegate
during the past winter and spring, and
that he had proved utterly useless 10
the people OF the Territory OF Hawaii.
Tramways and Ditch bill. she said.
occupied his mind to the exclusion OF
all matters relating to the public good
and according to the opinion imputed
to her the services OF the Delegate
were without value either in that d.
rection or in any other. AS TO herself
where she had a great many friends
ready to assist her in the prosecution OF
her claim for consideration for the
crown lands. she is reported to have
said that the Hawaiian Delegate utter
~ ignored her claims and In no way
endeavored 10 advance her cause. For
this reason she believes the interests
of the people will be best served by the
defeat OF wilcox for further honors In
the way OF national representation. and
she is ready to support some better
candidate of her people.
The second stage of the gossip OF the
politicians is even more vague. II be-
ing reported that the ex-Queen has de-
clared thar the best man for the Dele
gateship is J. o. Carter While she
has not reached the stage of making
fight for the nomination OF her busi-
ness representative. she thinks If union
can be, had on him there will be given
TO the Territory a representative who
would be conservative and useful, and
they would have some one at the Capi-
tal who would give his time 10 their
interests. instead of some special mat
ters affecting private corporations en-
tireiy.
Prince Cupid it was reported by some
Of his followers yesterday made
that he preferred TO stay in
Hawaii than 10 go 10 Washington. He
is said 10 have the opinion that he
