(From Thursdays Advertiser.)

Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole, Delegate
| to Congress, and the Princess Kalani-
| anaole arrived yesterday on the steam
ship China, having come direct from
| Washington. At San Francisco they
parted from Queen Liliuokalani, who
Francisco. The Prince will leave for
the Coast on the Ventura with other
members of the Republication delega-
ton to the Chicago convention, the
Princess remaining in Honolulu.
I'VE had delightful winter in
Washington" said the Princess aboard
the China. II enjoyed the national
capital very much and would like an
other winter there, but I'm glad to
get back home again. We are looking
forward to a repast of poi and fish as
soon as we arrive on Shore"
Both the Prince and Princess are
looking exceedingly well.
Prince Kuhio was interviewed con-
corning Hawaiian affairs at Washing
ton. He replied that all matters Ha-
waiian hold the interest of official
Washington and the islands have
many friends. AS to future legisla-
ton with appropriations for Federal
improvements, the Prince stated that
he had many promises of assistance.
But they are promises" he said, land
promises are not always kept"
"Am I candidate for reelection?
Well, 1 will say that am not the man
to go out seeking such things. have
always been opposed to the idea. Yet,
having been to Congress, and begin
ming to know the ropes pretty we'll.
it might be we'll to have the same
Delegate go back. II the people want
me to go back, that is for them to
say. I look at the matter in this way.
To send a new man to Congress all
the time is not the way to advance
the interests of the islands. Every
new man has to be broken in, to learn
the ropes, and by the time he has
learned everything to get a start, the
opportunity for getting any material
appropriations has passed by.
Federal building appropriations are
at present out of the question. What
will be done next session, 1 have no
means of knowing, although I have
promises to this end. There are other
places besides Hawaii which Congress
has to attend to. However, I believe
the people of the islands are showing
to the nation that we can make bet
ter showing all around than any Of
the other territories.
There is one thing which the people
of this territory should bear in mind.
That is factional strife. 1t Is well
known to Washington officials and
they are only waiting until that comes
to an end here before they make at
tempts to do anything for us.
"There is nothing new about Pearl
Harbor. In fact, the way I look at
the matter there will never be any
thing done with Pearl Harbor as far
as the Navy Department Is concerned

army to put up Notifications in the
Secretary Moody told me that Ha-
vail must lag behind now that the
Philippines have come to the fore for
attention. Hawaii is out of it as
far as war is concerned. In case of
war in the Far East it would be the
Philippines which would have to be
looked after. not Hawaii. That is the
manner in which he talks about navy
matters for the islands.
IT know nothing whatever about ap-
pointments to the bench. Whatever
Governor Carter says is law. Any
man he will name will be the judge.
