there, the only thing the United States
could do. if compelled to intervene
would be to make the island a part of
the United States, and then there
would be no duty whatever. From the

and I believe there would be a COM
peting chance.
'As to land laws, I do not believe
there will be anything done this ses-
sion owing to the many questions in
volved. There will be a study of local
conditions made, in my opinion, before
there is any legislation. What will be
the outcome of the Chinese exclusion
fight no one can tell. Whatever it may
be, in my opinion, there is no chance
that there will be any special legsIa-
tion in favor of the Islands. The bill
which passes, if there is such a meas
ure. will apply to the whole country
and all the possessions, even to the
Philippines perhaps
The cable matter is in a peculiar
situation. There is a determination on
the part of John w. Mackay to build

but in conversation with our agent in
San Francisco, II. T. Allen, Mr.. Mac

cable in working order by next Sep
way in connection with it. He said
that the cable was being manufactur- |
ed now at the rate of $50 miles a
month. In Congress there is a hard /
fight, however, for the building of a !
cable by the Government, and even !
those who are most closely connected /
with affairs there cannot foresee the .

II was in Washington" said Mr..
Dillingham; yesterday. Just before
starting home, and the conditions there
are such that no one could forecast
the future. President Roosevelt is very
much at sea over affairs here. He has
heard the statements of his old college
mate, Harold NJ. Sewall, and then men
of equal standing have come and told
him the opposite. He said he had writ
ten to George r. Carter for informa-
ton, as he had heard of Mr.. Carter as
a man of standing in the community.
a young man, and one who was likely
to be we'll informed. / don't think he
expected to have Mr.. Carter go on to
Washington. He had also heard most
favorably of Mr.. H. p Baldwin, and
in turn he asked me to see Mr Bald
win and ask that he also send his
views of the situation to Washington
The fact is the President is seeking
information purely and simply.
There has been a great deal of com
plant made at Washington against
the Governor, and this has been laid
directly before the President by Mr..
Sewall. From what 1 heard when al
the Capital it appears that Mr.. Sewall
abandoned his fight for the Governor
ship and took up that of the name of
Mr.. Parker. IN San Francisco Mr.
did not want the place. The best in
formation is that as a result of the
continued solicitations of Mr. Sewall,
the President asked Mr.. Parker:
Would you accept the Governorship?
This, it would appear was taken as

of removing him from his

A RAID ON IW|[H

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth and a
squad or specials were out in Iwilei last
night on a raiding tour which turned
out more successful than 1t was first
thought The officers went out the old
road and turning in behind the houses
near the old stockade, took up different
posts and waited. There was not much
success there so the police went by Diff
ferent routes to the Porto Rican houses.
On the way, they spled a couple Of wo-
men running at full speed in the same
direction but by a different route and
the officers, changing direction, caught
these and put them under charge Of one
man as 1t was supposed their lnten-
ton was to inform their friends of the
approach OF the police.
Eight women and three men were
caught in various rooms and charges in
correspondence with the infractions OF
the law OF which they were thought to
be guilty. were entered against them
at the police station.
When the prisoners were being put
into the patrol wagon, large number
OF Japanese collected about and start
ed in to poke fun at the women. Sud
denly the officers guarding the wagon
heard a noise that sounded for all the
world like a runaway carriage. Turn
ing. they saw nothing but cloud OF
dust broken here and there by a wood
en- shoe. Chillingworth had requested
the Japanese to leave and had assisted
them in obeying this request

IN WASHINGTON.

VeIt's FaVOrIte Mount.
The ROosevelts are fond of horses.
Every member of the presidents fam
lily old enough to stick in the saddle is
an ardent rider. Not i'll many years
have the hoStlers and grooms in the red
brick stable almost hidden by vines
and shrubbery just south of the eXecu-
tive mansion been so busy
President Roosevelt maintains the
largest stable of any of his predeces-
sors of recent years. His string i'll
cludes couple of splendid jumpers,
two carriage horses. two saddle horses
for ladies, q polo pony ard a diminu-
tive calico pony. These animals are
all the personal property of the presi-
dent and are separate and distinct
from the horses that are furnished by
the government for the Official use of
the president.
The presidents favOrite horse is
Bleistein. who has wide reputation
as 4 jumper. He is Il noble looking
animal, being Il pure bay. with Il white
star III MS 1Oiene:lu. II ITeSlut'EI
Roosevelt feels the need of some Vigor-
Gus exercise. he calls for Bleistein and
orders his Australian saddle to be
placed on the horses hack. Then when
the president gets into the country an
exciting ride follows. Mr.. Roosevelt
invariably selects n rough course
across country, including some pretty
stiff jumps over bitches ard fences.
Blcistein is Il noted jumper. having
cleared the bars ut six feet. Last spring
the president was photographed while
taking n foot inch hurdle on Blei-
stein at the Chevy Chase hunt course.
RenOwn is the stable companion of
BleistCin and is himself Il jumper of no
mean ability. He is Il seal brown and
trifle larger than Bleistein. He gets
over the rails ut feet Is inches with
out much difficulty. The carriage
horses are we'll matched pair of bays,
named Judge and General. YaGenka
is Mrs. Roosevelt's favorite saddle
horse.
Besides these the president still re
tains his old polo pony, Black Dia-
mOnd. Although Black Diamond has

times, his sporting days are over. Polo
is Il little too strenuous Il game for the
president to indulge in. Then there is
the little calico pony, Algonquin, the
property of Archie. Every day after
school he is taken for Il canter. Algon-
quin is only thirty-four inches high.
Mrs. RoOSevelts horses occupy stalls
on the north side Of the stable In the
stalls ON the south side are quartered
ten animals that were furnished by the
quartermaster of the army They are
for the use of the official staff of the
White House, four of them being re-
served for Secretary COrtelyou and AS
sistant Secretaries Loeb and Barnes.
For driving the chief executives fam
lily have the choice of brand new
landau, brougham, n phaeton and a
surrey. The phaeton is an old fash
toned affair and was made to order
for Mr.. RoOsevelt's father.
In one corner of the harness room is
a big array of saddles, one or more for
each grown member of the family,
with half n dozen extra ones for guests.
The president alone has seven saddles.
including Il new one recently received
from an admiring friend. The presi-
dents favorite saddle is light affair
of English type and is used when he
goes out for an everyday canter. When
he expects to do some jumping. he
uses an Australian saddle, which is
equipped with heavy knobs on each
side, against which the rider braces
himself when the horse rises for the
jump.
Not since President Arthur's time
has the White House stable been so
well filed. Neither President Cleve-
land nor President Mckinley was Civ

rison kept only three horses. President
Arthur had n splendid stable of thor

Bishop Fowler of the Methodist
church on one occasion found himself
opposed in conference very bitterly by
one of the other members and, after
listening to n lengthy TRADE concern
ing the matter in question. replied in n
manner that seemed to make very little
impression on his opponent, who, aris-
ing, stretched his arm i'll the direction
of the bishop, rolled his eyes upward
very solemnly and exclaimed:
Deliver me from the snare Of the
fowIerr'
And from the noisome pestilenceI'
added the bishop, rising quick as n
flash and mimicking the roll of the 9TH
er's eyes and the stretch of the arm.
