WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 2S.-For
four days people in Washington nave
been looking for the arrival OF George
X. Carter. His journey here from Ho-
nolulu has been well advertised in the
local newspapers. and the status of po-
litical affairs in the Islands from differ
ent viewpoints has been heralded in
print here in anticipation OF Mr.. Car
ter's coming. Even his picture has
been published, so that there are scores
OF people who would recognize the
bearer of advice to President Roosevelt
when he arrives.
This is Thursday, and last Tuesday
Mr. William Haywood had telegram
from Mr.. Carter in New York, asking
If he could communicate with him by
long distance telephone. Mr.. Haywood
had no idea what sort of 4 communica-
ton Mr.. Carter wanted to make. As
the telephone wires were out OF order
from the severe storm of rain and sleet
that forthwith put the telegraph lines
also out of commission, Mr.. Haywood
telegraphed back to ask if what he
wished to say was sufficiently import
ant to warrant him 0Iaywood) making
n trip to New York No answer was
received and nothing further has been
heard to date of Mr.. Carter's where
abouts. The only communication with
New York, except for messages or ex-
treme Importance that are sent by way
of Chicago or by some other round
about route. Is by mail.
Miss Cordelia Carter has been visit
ing the Misses Hartwell on Sixteenth
street. but left for Boston a day or two
ago. after telegraphing in vain to To-
cate her brother. 1t is thought he may
have gone on there to visit her. as TINS
has been a very busy week for the
Prpaident and there would be little op-
portunity for an interview OF much
length, regarding Hawaii. Prince Hen
~ has been here two days of the week
President Roosevelt has been absent
q little over one day, to the launching
OF the Meteor. the German Emperor's
yacht. and then on yesterday much Of
his time was occupied with the Mckin-
ley Memorial exercises at the Capitol.
Prince Henry stays here a day or two
yet. and accordingly the President is
devoting considerable of his time to the
royal visitor.
Il was stated at the White House to-
day that Mr.. Carter would have an in
terView with President Roosevelt early
next week. and it is understood that
communication has been received there
from him to this effect.
The announcement from San Fran
cisco, as soon as Mr.. Carter landed,
that he proposed TO advocate the selec-
ton of Mr.. II. p. Baldwin as governor.
has awakened considerable local inter
est. The notable thing about ii, how
ever. is that advSes by telegraph are
understood to have reached here de-
claring stoutly that Mr.. Baldwin will
not accept the Office, as he is unable
t. spare the time from his business.
An opinion prevails here that the can
didacy of Mr.. Baldwin was fixed up
between Mr.. Carter and J. Z. Cook, Mr..
RaIdwin's son-in-law, who is said
to have some political bees buzzing
around near his headgear.
col. sam Parker's denial that he has
told anybody he was to be governor OF
Hawaii. as printed in the san Fran
cisco and Honolulu papers. is attract
ing some attention here, and may get
him into further trouble with the Pres
ident. for there are Honolulu people
right here in Washington who may go
before the President with clipping OF
Col. Parker's interview. and agree to
make affidavit that such statement
i untrue.
The Misses Eartwen Ief: here yester-
day for their old home in South Natick.

Mr.. Haywood, in discussing the Gu
ban situation. said today that ne agreed
