Governor Dole replied:
Sam Parker IL n well educated Hawai-
ian. All Hawaiians. however. have n way
OF putting too much weight on remarks
that are made. This Is how the report
was circulated about Sam Parker. I sur
miss He heard some report that he
might BE- made Governor and put too
much stress on the remark. IL - a mis-

There will b. no changes on my part "a
a result % my visit 20 Washington. The
President did not aiiude TO the crown
lands and the matter was not discussed.
Queen Iliiuokaiani receives n pension OF
100 year from the Hawaiian Govern

States Government will grant her another
pension. The crown lands are now fus-
ed with the other Hawaiian Government
lands You must understand that a clause |
In the annexation treaty had a clause |
which allowed the land laws Of Hawaii 20 |

Governor Dole when asked about the l
political situation In Hawaii said:
There are three political parties down 1
there. The Home Rule. which IN compos-
cd OF old Royaiists. polls the largest vote. i
every native votes the Home Rule I
ticket The second and third parties 1
the Republican and Democrat. Wilcox Is Il
the head OF the HON. Rule party. He
- a good politician. but In other things
he - not effective He has no particular
standing or influence back I'm Washing
ton Sam Parker n the Republican lead
cr. being the representative OF the Ma
tional Committee.
The Home Rule party has political con-
troll Of the natives. IL has a t~o-thirds
vote In the lower House. but In the Sen
ate II lacks one OF two-thirds OF course. |
this power II very embarrassing TO my I
az the Home Rule Repre-
scntatives have vetoed many necessary
appropriations. I do not think the Home
Rule party will remain strong or last
ing. as u has never fulfilled one promise
made before election.
The labor situation In the Hawaiian Isl
anus - very SattSf1ctorNs NJ the time OF
all labor contracts became void |
and on this account many OF the laborerS I
left the plantations they were working
on and roamed around the islands hoping
10 better their conditions This has all
been remcdied and there Is now no lack OF
Iab0rcrs-
Many Of the sugar planters are anxious
for white iaborera Co come TO the islands
md promise them a profit-sharing con
tract ~ they will remain certain space
u time. The proposition. to speak more
fully. b. that these planters will give {
white iaborcrs a house. garden and 80
many acres OF land To cultivate and they 2
ire 90 mutually share In the profits.
In reference Co the claims OF those who .
ost their property BY the burning OF {
certain parts OF Honolulu at the time Of
he plague. the matter - In the hands :
y n court OF claims. The total Of claims
VII amount TO about 100000. II IL the
wish of our people that Congress should :

The United States was greatly Interested I
n seeing that the plague was stamped
ut. and ~e think that they should help
