the arrival of Governor Fgear in Wash
ington, but delayed on account of the
$4,000 damage suit of Carl Waldeyer
against the Wailuku Sugar Company,
which has been before the Circuit
Court in Waikiki since November 20.
1t was feared that, if the fact that
the resignation had been accepted was
made known, it might influence the
case in one way or the other, so every
thing has been held in allegiance. The
Waldeyer suit went to the jury We'd
nesday night and verdict for the
defendant was brought in after three
hours deliberation. This was cabled
Immediately to Washington.
1t is generally understood, and on
the best of authority, that Judge Sell
den b. Kingsbury will be appointed
to fill the vacancy. Many have sug-
gested the name of Dan Case, former.
ly county attorney of Maui, but on
account of the prominent part which
he took in the fight against Kepoikai,
being beaten several times, but now at
last winning out, it is doubtful if the
offer would be made to him, or if he
would accept. under the circumstances.
The charge which brought Kepoikai
to his downfall was one which in
volved the borrowing of money from
an estate while it was in the custody
of the court. 1t was alleged and prov
en- beyond reasonable doubt that Judge
Kepoikai obtained loan from the es-
tate of dead Japanese of $1,000, Civ
ing his personal note, unendorsed and
unsecured, for the same. Photogra-
phic copies of the note were obtain
ed as additional proof and the testi-
mony in the matter was forwarded to
+ Washington some five months ago.
1t was thought that immediate ac-
ton would be taken but up to this
time it has been impossible to learn
a single thing from Governor Frear,
Secretary Garfield, or the Department
of Justice in regard to the matter
which could be used for publication
When Governor Frear left for Wash
ington he promised to look into the
matter but gave no inkling of what
might be done

the acceptance of the resignation has
been only awaiting the completion OF

SPRECKELS
lContinue, rrom Page One ,

Sprecgels for some years took an ac-
tive interest in the politics of the Ha-
waiian monarchy. Often he was the
power behind the throne in the max
ing and unmaking of ministries From
his positive temperament he sometimes
made things political somewhat lively
when it did the old town no harm to
have its somnolency disturbed. Mr..
Spreckels, however, gave up the game
of local politics when Kalakaua chang
ed his ministry at the close of the long
legislative session of 1886. The revo-
luton of 1887 introduced an element of
responsible government into cabinet
making. Mr.. Spreckels only once more
took a personal interest in Hawaiian
political affairs, when he took sides
with the Royalists .Jr the restoration
of Queen Liliuokalani After the fail
ure of that cause he dropped finally all
his concern in the public affairs of
Hawaii. StA
At various times from 1886 on Mr.
Spreckels has made distributions of
his property interests in these islands,
including valuable real estate in Ho-
! nolulu. amongst members of his fam
lily. Only this month, through his
son Rudolph and Sprecgels building
was sold to the Irwin corporation and
Mr.. Irwin acquired all the interest of
its patronymic in the bank of Claus
Spreckels & Co.
Emma, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Claus Spreckels, married some years
ago a Mr.. Watson who since died and
it is said she married again. The
sons are John D., Adolph B., G.. A.
(Gus') and Rudolph Spreckels. John
ID. Spreckefs was here before his faith
er, being a clerk with II. Hackfeld &
Co. Then he went with Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Co on Maui to
learn the sugar planting industry. Re-
turning to San Francisco he formed
the firm of John d. Spreckels & Bros.
Co., and was doing business in that
connection with w. G. Irwin & Co.,
before his fathers partnership in that
firm.
All of the Spreckels boys have prov
ed worthy sons of a worthy sire as
successful men of business. Rudolph
has achieved, in late days, a national
reputation as a municipal reformer,
especially in his financing of the San
, Francisco graft prosecutions.

LOCAL FEDERAL COURT CALEN-

ARE MOST OTHERS.
Especial Correspondence.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., December a..
The prospects are not bright for the
enactment of legislation during the
present session of Congress to provide
an additional Federal Judge of Ha-
wall. Members of the Senate Commit
tee on the Judiciary which has the
matter under consideration, are of the
opinion that the number of residents
in the District of Hawaii is not large
enough to justify having more than
one Federal Judge. The district is in
better shape, SO far as keeping the
legal business up to current date is
concerned, than any other Federal
District in the country. Under these
circumstances the Committee mem
bers do not feel like increasing mate
rally the cost of maintaining the fed
eral judicial system of the territory.
Possibly some plan will be evolved
through which a Federal Judge from
the California District will be assign
ed to hold court at stated intervals in
Hawaii SO that cases in which the
resident judge is disqualified may be
tried.

sent of the author of the bin, Senator
Piles of Washington. The bill was or

In the House today Representative
Miller, Chairman of the Committee on
Claims, called up and secured the pas
sage of the bill to refund to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii the sum of $23 1893 SO
for money paid and expended by the
Territory in maintaining light houses,
bell buoys and light house service on
the coast from the time the Territory
became part of the United States I'M
