(Mail Special % the Advertiser.)

days, as regards Hawaii, has been the
visit of George Davis, OF Honolulu He
tarried but brief time but before de-
parting was accompanied by Senator
Foster of Washington to the White
House where he saw President Roose-
welt. Mr.. Davis likewise saw other
prominent officials of the government, tc
whom he made a strong appeal for some
relief from the order of the court, af-
fecting his qualifications to practice his
profession in Hawaii Personally Mr..
Davis, was much affected by his plight
and he was completely overcome with
emotion during his talk with President
Roosevelt. After the interview Mr.. Da-
Wis expressed his regret that he had al
lowed his feelings thus to get the better
of him.
Some action on the report which Unit
ed States Attorney Breckons sent here
last fall is expected At least the bulky
document is being very carefully studied
to determine whether Mr. Davis de-
serves any relief and whether, in that
case, there is any way for the govern
ment to grant him relief AS to what
the outcome will be no one here now
undertakes to say although the chances
seem to be that nothing can be done
Mr.. Davis has already left Washington
but how soon he intends to return to
Hawaii is not known here.
MACINTOSH IN WASHINGTON.
Rev. Dr. Macintosh canon of the Eng
lish Episcopal Church and rector of the
English Cathedral at Honolulu, is here,
accompanied bv his wife and by Miss
Won Holt. They expect to leave this
afternoon to resume their journey. They
have been stopping at the ST. James
Hotel
Delegate kalanianaole expects to tar
ny here few days yet,-although Con-
gress has adjourned. 1t is probable that
he will i'll the course of a week or two
accompany his wife to San Francisco
and there await the arrival of Gov. Car
ter and the other delegates to the Chi
cago convention and then return with
them to Chicago
In the very last days of the session
the Oahu railway and land company
bill to secure a right of way through
the military reservation of Kahauiki
passed both Senate and House and re-
ceived the signature of the President.
1t first appeared in the House and Sen
ator Foraker pressed it at his end of
the Capitol. Otherwise it would not
have become a law. The bill passed
without debate in either House.
HAYWOOD IMPROVING.
Mr.. William Haywood, representing
the Hawaiian Chamber OF Commerce
here, has been very i'll with pneumonia.
His condition at one time was extreme
ly critical but he is now cOnvaleScing.
Mr.. E. 7. Dole, former attorney gen
eral of Hawaii is still a guest at the
Riggs House He stated last evening
that he did not expect to return to Ha-
waii for several weeks yet.
A House Committee of five is investi- |
eating the general question of immigra-
ton this summer and another committee
both being subcommittee of the House
Committee on immigration, is studying
the ACCESSIBILITY of bill introduced by |
Representative Adamson to restrict inn /
migration from any one country TO &c.,
600 people a year. 1t is doubtful if .
the work of either of these committees /
affects Hawaiian interests in immigra
ton, except in a remote way. The leg
islation on the General Deficiency APP
preparation bill, to remove anv doubt as
to the efficiency of the general Chinese
Exclusion law removes that statute
from the realm of further dispute.
The language of the Fortifcations law,
as signed by the President, in providing
appropriations for Hawaii is as follows,
under the heading Notifications in In
suar Possessions
For procurement of land needed as
sites for the defenses OF the Hawaiian
islands, $2oo,ooo
KUHIO DEFENDS ISLANDS.
