w. G. IRWIN INTERVIEWED.
i cat the. New Willard is Mr.. w. G.
Irwin, millionaire banker and owner of
| vast sugar estates IN the Hawaiian Is
lands, where he has been for years in
q partnership with Claus Spreckels, the
sugar king. Mr. Irwin spends. part of
4 each year in San Francisco and is here
on a pleasure trip, accompanied by his
1 wife and daughter. He employs some
i thing like 5000 laborers on his Hawaiian
i plantations and controls fully one-sixth
| of the sugar production of the islands
/ We are experiencing IN Hawaii he
/ said, rather dull times as result of the
i boom of a few years ago, or rather the
reaction following that flush period. I
/ have lived in Hawaii for fifty years and
| know something of the country. FIRE.
/ uuently / have been asked if it offers
| good inducements for people who would
/ like to migrate there with a view OF
/ making permanent homes. Ii is not easy
to give a direct answer. The agricultural
labor will, in my opinion, always be done
by Asiatics, for the reason that the CHI
mate is too warm and enervating for
men of the white race, and, aside from
agriculture, there is not much TO be done.
except perhaps limited amount of cattle
and sheep breeding. So, on the whole,
the islands are not inviting from the inn
migration standpoint, but they form a
most beautiful and picturesque part of
creation, and no one who ever has time
to pay a visit there ever regrets the
CLARK AND DOLE.
Mr.. Charles Clark, of Honolulu, is
l<a :.
ex-senator Thurston from ST Louis.

practice before the Supreme Court on
Mr. Thurston's motion. Shortly there

THE JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS. /
At the Department of Justice it was
stated yesterday that the appointment of
the Territorial judges probably would
not be taken up till early IN June. A
cablegram from. Gov. Carter, recently
received here, indicated that he had sent
something by mail touching those nom
nations There is belief here that the
of his disbarment case is intended to
have more bearing on the reappoint-
ment of the judges than on Davis per-
sonally. Fl
THE DAVIS CASE.
Although Assistant Attorney John w.
Trainor has given consideration to the |
papers presented in Davis's case and it
has been stated that the papers are
ready for the Attorney General, it is
not expected that he will reach con-
r1usion for several days, probably not be-
fore this letter arrives at Honolulu, In
spite of the statements above and those
IN my previous letter, that the case was
awaiting only the Attorney
Generals decision, Mr.. Trainor stated 4
today that he intended to turn the papers
over. TO Assistant Attorney General
Charles W. Russell, who had them
and who is now on the At
antic, returning from Paris, where he
was one of the representatives of the
government IN conducting the Panama E
canal negotiations. Mr.. Trainor added
hat Mr.. Russell would give the papers :.
careful attention soon after he reaches
mere, which will probably not be beforei
he middle of next week. +
As far as general opinion here is any
Indication, there is nothing the Depart
nent or the President can do to help Mr..
Davis but, as already stated, it is be-
lieved that the Department is beingI
pressed to ascertain the merits of the
decision by the judges for purposes con-
1ected with their appointment.
