CARTER
RETURNS
Talks Of His Visit
To Eastern
States.

Governor George R. Carter was seated
in the executive chair in the Capitol
within very brief time after landing
from the steamer China All the rest
of yesterday morning he was receiving
welcome home greetings from officials
and citizens, in return giving everyone
the glad hand and breezy salutation of
which the keynote was pleasure at get
ting back again TO an Advertiser re-
porter's suggestion, in answer TO ques-
ton, that perhaps he might begin an
account of his travels where the mail
and the cable connections had broken
off, the Governor said:
Well. in crossing the continent on
my return l fell in with Governor Par.
dee of California. making him a good
new acquaintance.
AT San Francisco met the joint
Committee on Commerce of the Senate
and House and had some long talks with
the members, which l hope will result
in much benefit to the Territory.
Among others talked with was SEN
ator Gallinger of New Hampshire, who
am sure will prove a GOOD friend to
Hawaii. I was surprised on returning
this morning TO find that you people
know all about Senator Foraker's COM
ing He told me ne did not wish to
announce his visit to Hawaii in advance.
1t is probable he will not arrive before
the latter part of August or sometime in
September.
4 consider it will be a very great
benefit to Hawaii to have Senator For
aker come There are many matters
that ought to be laid before him. He
is splendid man, one of different
stamp of public men from any we have
had here.
The feeling all over, as l found it,
is that we have made a poor showing
since annexation and that evidently
more ought to be done for us. All
seem to admit it 1t is for us to or
game, to get together, and do some
thing for ourselves.
4 want to send Congressman Burton,
chairman of the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, maps of our har-
bors to show exact conditions, such as
the cubic yards to be removed, etc. The
data will make so much more favorable
an impression. and the fact is they will
not do anything without such data.

very well pleased with the sale of the
first bonds. Although the information
was not positive, yet on the highest au-
York that the syndicate that bought
themselves for 100. OF course we can
not get such a figure as that, but ought
to get something more than par
indications are that the President is
gaining ground in Wall street. The
feeling there is that there are two evils
to choose from and that Roosevelt and
Republicanism are the lesser evil AS

The great object in my trip was to

all the warrants paid off.

Too often feeling runs unnecessarily

ton with better feeling. so that the
side losing will know the fight was fair.
When the China entered her dock,
a lookout on the Capitol gave the signal
