HONOLULU. T. H. Nov. 5.-Although
the returns from the county election
last Tuesday show that the Republican
party carried most OF the Offices. the
general belief is that the native homa
rule candidates received the most votes
The failure Of the home rule candidates
10 be elected, however, is due, TO the re-
lection of large number of their bal
lots.
The defeated side is now asserting
that il was counted out and is threaten
ing TO bring a contest Of the election.
while the judges OF election declare that
the reason the ballots were rejected was
because the natives were so ignorant Of
the manner of voting that they spoiled
the ballots and necessitated their re-
lection
While the recent election was prim-
arily fought between the Republicans
and the native home rule parties. the
fight was in reality struggle between
the whites and natives.
Arrested Queen Lii.
The most interesting fight was that
between A NJ. Brown. the high sheriff
of the Territory. and the man who had
arrested former Queen Liliuokalani for
high treason after the revolution OF 1895
and John S Wise. half-white. Wise
was the man who attended the Demo-
cratic national convention as a repre-
sentative Of Hawaii and IL was his vote
that, IN the conference, decided in favor
OF putting the l6 10 ! plank IN the
Kansas City platform. Brown is a white
man and was running on the Republi
can ticket, while Wise was on the ma
tive home rule ticket.
The election resulted in the Republi-
cans electing four supervisors and all OF
the officers but the tax assessor and
county surveyor The two latter Offices
went TO the home rule party, as did
three supervisors, one of the latter.
Frank Harvey, half white, being
Democrat.
The total vote counted was about 4.459.
1t is estimated that fully 500 more bal
lots were cast but were rejected for
various causes. These rejected ballots
We're home rule tickets.
The result of the election has demon
strated positively that in future ali po-
litical contests must be fought between
the white man and the native on race
issues alone. The hatred for the whites
among the natives has been steadily in
creasing since annexation. and it would
not be surprising II a serious fight oc-
CURED At the next county elections. a
year from now. There was an ugly.
surly spirit among the natives last
Tuesday.
Jacks Give a Show.
According to japanese advices six
American bluejackets gave a highly
realistic representation OF the japanese
and Russian armies IN conflict last
months. The impersonation occurred
at the Britannia Hotel. in Yokohama,
and while il resulted disastrously TO the
hotel caused the utmost delight TO the
japanese public
r. Bradnew. Jackie" from the bat
tleship Wisconsin. went into the hotel
and began to drink. Five sailors from
the American cruiser Cincinnati entered
later. A dispute arose in the course of
the evening, and the men from the
Cincinnati made a rush toward the man
from the Wisconsin The latter sprang
upon a table and proceeded to hold the
fOur-legged fort against his opponents.
Come on, you Russians." he shouted.
Il am a japanese army and you can't
drive me out Of Korea Come on. come
on d-n YOU" and then followed a be-
wildering quantity Of plates and dishes
and glasses. The small sized japanese
army twice repuIsed the enemy
The japanese officers considered the
joke such a good one that they refused
to prosecute BradneW and the sailor was
back to his vessel as If he had
been a high dignitary.
