| WASHINGTON, d. c., April 10
No little interest is shown here by
| friends of Hawaii over the prospective
appointments of judges for the Terri
tory. Delegate Kalanianaole is expect
ing advices from the islands by an
early mail regarding endorsements. 1t
Is understood here that Judges Frear
and Perry will be endorsed for re-
appointment and that their reappoint-
ment is assured AS 1t is understood
here the other Judge will likely be
either ex-Minister Hatch, now in town,
or Judge Hartwell. Ex-Attorney Gem
eral E. p. Dole, who is still in Wash
ington, has dropped out of the race for
one of the judgeships on the Supreme
bench. but 1t is thought probable that
he will be appointed to the judgeship
at Kona on the island of Hawaii.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani has not left
Washington. Her claim for $3.50, 900 is
hanging fire before the Senate but
there is no prospect of its passing Con-
gress at this session. A motion to re-
consider the vote by which it was de-
feated in the Senate is still pending.
De Knight and Boyd, the two attor-
neys who have a contract with the
ex-Queen to secure the appropriation,
are constantly around the Capitol, try
ing to secure further consideration, but
the case seems hopeless. 1t may be
that. before the session closes, IL an
suspicious time comes, the Senate will
vote to reconsider the claim. But the
n rn c1 Inn
was not even put on the appropria-
ton bill this year by the Senate.
A patent has been granted to Ed
