The killing of the militia appropria-
proved to be the dire disaster which it
was at first proclaimed it would be. In
fact, the discus ion which has been
aroused over the demise of politics in
-ernor and the military authorities here
some knowledge that neither possessed,
%before yesterday. And yet the power
that it was intended by Congress should
be given 10 the Governor of Hawaii,
mower transcending that of any COVER
nor of any state in the Union, and in
some respects equalling that of the
President himself. has merely been in
allowance. The power is in the law, in
the Organic Act. Section g. and IN the
army and navy Regulations. An ex-
plicit exception is made in the regu-
1atfons. in fact. to give this power to
the Governor of Hawaii.
and I did not know before that the
Governor had any such power, said
Colonel Mcclellan. commanding the

Governor Carter at once, and acquaint
him with the facts that have been
brought to my knowledge. I am great
1y Obliged to you for calling my atten-
tion to this
The remark was made to Hon Carl
Smith. representative in the House
from Hno. who was largely instru-
mental in killing the militia bill in the
House and whose studies of the law in
the case revealed to him the power pos
sessed by the Governor As soon as
Mr. Smith had satisfied himself that
this remarkable power was lodged with
the executive, he called upon Colonel
Mcclellan 10 see whether the comman-
der of the military forces was aware
of the state of the law. Colonel NC
tclelIan was not aware OF the facts'
when Mr.. Smith called upon him.
II am sorry you took the stand you
did upon the militia bill" Colonel ME-
Clellan said to the representative, and
gave his reasons for saying so. Colonei
Mcclellan had been quoted as saying
or the territory offfcials-officially OF
course-and was sincerely sorry that
the militia had been deprived of sup
port. because of an honest conviction
that the territory was thus left with
out any force that the Governor might
call out to suppress disorder in case of
emergency. Moreover. Colonel McClel-
Ian quoted the army regulations TO
show Mr. Smith that he was right in
his contention.
The gallant Colonel was greatly sur
prfsed when Mr.. Smith, in turn, turned
a page in the book of regulations and
showed him the explicit exception
giving the Governor power to call out
the armed forces of the United States
within the Territory.
These troops could not be stationed

After discussion lasting into the af-
ternoon, the graziers adjourned after
an agreement had been reached th8t
the notice Of the Metropolitan Meat
Company reducing the price for beef
cattle to the graziers should be with
drawn and the old price Of ten cents
a pound should be resumed unless the
new Board of Directors should decide
otherwise. The new board of direc-
tors consists Of Robert Single Sem
ator McCandless, A. w. Carter i. NJ.
Swanzy, S. NJ. Damon, Fred Wunden-
berg and Gilbert J. Waller.
The cattlemen of the Territory have
been in session practically all day dis
cussing the situation which confronts
them, and the various theories which
have been advanced to account for or
cure It,
SO earnest .s the discussion and so
weighty the matters that are before
them that the cattlemen did not even
take recess for lunch until long after
one o'clock.
The principle proposition around
Which the controversy has ragged most
severely is a proposition that the Met
ropolitan Meat Company shall with
draw entirely from the retail meat
trade and confine itself entirely to
slaughtering and wholesaling.
The retail trade is to be turned over
to competition, and whoever wants to
may go into it. 1t is argued that the
combination Of slaughterer, wholesaler,
and retailer, which the Metropolitan
Company has occupied, is an unnatural
one; that the interests and duties of
the three branches of business conflict

Weel, they are on their way home.
Barney Bernard, Kolb and Dill of the
American Travesty Stars with their
wives, as we'll as a considerable num-
ber of the members of the company
are going back to San Francisco after
their descent upon Australia and to say
that they are glad would hardly de-
scribe their state of mind.
Australia" said Barney Bernard
this morning as he leaned over the bar
of the Hawaiian Hotel and fondled
gin fizz in a loving manner, Australia
is the limit. Having seen it once de-
voutly hope that l shall never see it
again. Why you can't get a thing to
drink except Scotch and soda. They
have Scotch and soda for breakfast and
drink it all day. AS for mixed drink,
they don't know what it is. I even ask
ed a barmaid for some plain whiskey
and water on the side and she said
How awf'ly odd. How can you put
water on the side of the glawss"
But when I speak of Australia 1
want to say word in nice way about
Sydney. The people there were very
nice indeed to us and we had no kick
coming, as for Melbourne, well it's
about the worst ever"
Contrary to expectations Maude Am
her and Winfield Blake did not return
with the others They are still in sgd
ney awaiting the hearing of a suit for
their salaries brought against Manager
James, and thereby hangs a tale.
The story brought back is to the ef-
feet that when the Sonoma left james
and his family were supposed to be still
ashore. but the Sonoma was out Of
sight of land when James appeared
gaily on deck and whatever process o
Australian law there may be, it wa'
not strong enough to bring James bacl
to land.
Max Dill passes il. all back to Austria
liza also. The hot weather was simpl!
frightful he says.
you know how you feel on goo,
hot day" he remarked this morning
You're looking for a breeze all tn
time, but you don't do that in Austria
liza. When the breeze comes 1t hits yo
like a blast out of the furnace. AS 70
the people, while we met some goo
sports here and there, the general ru
of them strike you as bein gdull beyon
description. Horse racing, or rathe
betting on horse races is the principt
attraction that the Australians seem
have and there are places where bel
of all sizes from six pence up can
made. The Melbourne Cup is certainl
great event and the attendance
huge, but when 1t is remembered thu
all the center of the track is free to II
public it does not represent anythir
like the expnditure of an America
track on one of the big days"
Coming to a consideration of Il
tour of the company in Australia evel
one of the Travestry Stars spoken
admitted that it was as whole fl
failure. A success was scored in Sy
ney after the Australians got
through their heads that there was
intention of a plot i'm any of the piec
put on. At first they would stu

difficulty Of the past. and much Of that
of the present can be- traced 10 o.. It
iT also argued that it is impossible 20
meet the present situation fairly while
this unnatural combination remains.
The argument on the other side IS
that to give up the retail trade is ta

Of the business, and in effect 10 turn
the retail business over to the China
men, that the Chinese will be able TO

ness down TO such low point as TO pre-
vent the existence Of well kept markets
where a complete variety Of butchers
stuff can be obtained, and that a most
primitive style Of business will be in
troduced.
The primal difficulty is as was de-
scribed I'm yesterdays Star The cattle
men believe that a deeper cut into the
retail price than a cent a pound will
have to be made I'm order TO stimulate
consumption, but they do not feel that
they ought to stand the whole reduc-
tlon. The question Of the quality OF
beef also comes up, as it Is argued an

Governor Carter's punchbowl and Sec
retary Atkinson's sealed gift from
Prince Fushimi may after all have to
60 to Congress or, alas! be given up.
The United States constitution seems
be in the way of the acceptance of
these tokens of the Princes distin-
guished consideration. 1t is even sug-
gested that the Governor may have
fallen into grave-well, indiscretion-
in accepting Prince Fushimfs little
token of regard, without first asking
permission of congress.
The article of the constitution which
stretches out it's inhospitable hand to
snatch from the governor, the secretary
of the territory, and mayhap Captain
Sam Johnson, the gifts with which the
Prince expressed his appreciation of
his official reception here, is Article 1.

.SONOMA DELAYED
SAILING TODAY
DEMAND FOR COAL WAS VERY
HEAVY TODAY AS CHINA WAS
COALING TOO.

There has been delay in the de-
parture of the S. S. Sonoma for San
Francisco today. She was to have
sailed at p. m. but the coal was slow
being delivered so she will not get away
before o'clock and possibly not before
o'clock. The presence of the S. S.
China in port with a demand for 600
tons of coal has been the cause for
the delay of the Sonoma. Coal carts
were in demand and apparently there
was a shortage. The band was at the
Sonoma this afternoon.
The China may be delayed sailing at
o'clock for the Orient She increas-
ed her original coal order by 100 tons.
This increase may delay her slightly
although her agents thought she would
get out practically on time.

There seems no doubt that Governor
Carter and Secretary Atkinson at
least, hold offices, both of profit and of
trust under the United States. 1t seems
also equally clear that the pleasing
token of Fushimis kindly thought is
present from foreign Prince.
The usual procedure in cases of this
kind, is for an application to be made
to congress for permission to accept
these presents and when there is, as in
this case, manifestly nothing more to
it than an act of kindness or courtesy,
or an expression of personal feeling,
the consent of congress is readily
granted.
1t may therefore be that Governor
Carter may have to call on his friend
Delegate Kalanianaole. to introduce
joint or concurrent resolution in con-
gress asking that august body if George
and Jack may keep the nice presents
the Japanese Prince gave them.
AS to Captain Sam Johnson he isn't
appointed by the President as the
Governo1 and the Secretary are, and so
strong a case may not be made out
against him.
But isn't it awkward?
