The above are the delegates and
altcrnates chosen by the Democratic
convention yesterday to represent
Hawaii at the National convention at
Denver.
| The session of the convention yes
terday afternoon was enlivened by
speeches with which the delegates
whiled away the time while the COM
mittees were putting the finishing
touches on their reports.
r. II. Trent made a humorous
speech which was exceedingly well
received. j. J. Fern spoke at length
in Hawaiian and was enthusiastical-
ly applauded. He then spoke in En-
glish, announcing the discovery that
everyone in Hawaii was turning DEM
ocratic.
"All we want is eight good Sena-
tors" he said. Then we will
change the laws and give everyone
work. We must elect all the Super
visors and representatives"
Ashford remarked that Kauai had
heretofore been benighted, but now
1t had Joined the Democratic organi-
zation, and for this reason II would
be well to hear from Kauai man.
j. s. Chandler took up the invita-
ton. The Democratic party had, he
said, planted small seed on Kauai,
but the fruit had been great. The
people OF Kauai had had enough of
the harvest they had reaped during
the past seven years, and now they
were focking to the Democratic stan
dard. There were now not forty
Home Rulers left on Kauai, and the
Republicans there had lost consider.

hARnLY HAD HIS LAST WORD
SOUNDED BKTOR A CEDAR TEEE
OPENED. A YELLED WOrtAN WITH
floating WHITE GARMENTS APRARED

At last the procession reached the cap
ital, where the welcome was more splen-
did than it had been elsewhere. The Sui
tana awaited the arrival with all her
court, decked in wonderful garments. The
floor of the palace chamber was covered
with an enormous carpet and the walls
were hung with light blue silks, orna-
mented with gold and silver
1t was dark when the cavalcade ar
rived. Colored lamps lit the great hall.
They shone most brightly on throne of
gold set with amethysts, on which sat the
Sultana under canopy of red silk held
by four emirs, while the sheik of Me-
dina famed her with peacock feathers.
Thus she awaited her son, and though
she had not seen him since he was an in
FAINT, she felt assured that she would rec
ognize him among thousands, for mys-
terious dreams had told her of him.
Soon the trumpets and drums, the
cheers and the hoof beats announced the
coming of the party. The doors flew
open. and through the rows of PROSTATE
servants and slaves hurried the Sultan
with the young mans hand in his.
Here" said he, 81 bring you him for
whom you have longed"
The Sultana checked him. THAT is not
nv SOM" cried she. These are not the
features that the Prophet has showed me
so often in my dreams'
Before the Sultan could reply Prince
Omar darted to the throne, pursued by
his guards, from whom he had escaped
by means Of his supreme strength and
agility. He cast himself down before the
throne and cried:
Here I will diel Let them Nll me.
cruel father. for I will no longer endure
this shame!"
Clamor and excitement broke forth.
Armed men leaped toward the luckless
Prince. The guards arrived and tried
again to seize him, but the sultana
sprang from her seat and cried aloud:

cheat than that he has used his own
name and occupation? If that were so,
I know a way to discover and expose
him." She bent her mouth close to the
Sultana's ear and whispered something
that evidently pleased her mistress, for
the latter clasped her hands and arose
at once to go to the Sultan.
The Sultana was shrewd woman, who
knew the Sultans weaker side we'll. She
pretended that she had been wrong and
that she meant to acknowledge the new
conner as her son; then she begged that
she be permitted to make only one con-
dition. The Sultan, glad TO do something
to make up for his angry outburst against
her, assented with smile and asked
her indulgently what she would like to
propose.
II should like to have a proof of the
skill of both of the young men," said
she. Another person might select riding,
sword play or spear throwing. But those
are things that many can do l would
ask them do something that requires cum
ming of eye and hand and brain. L should
like each one to make a fine garment,
SO that we may see who will produce the
better of the two.
The Sultan laughed heartily. why.
you have surely thought of something
wonderfully clever!' cried he so you
wish my son to compete with an insane
tailor inscutting and sewing No, no, my
dear That is absurd"
The Sultana, however, reminded him
that he had promised. The Sultan being
man of his word, finally agreed, but he
swore that no matter how beautiful a
dress the insane tailor might make, he
would never agree to recognize him as his
son.
Then he went to Labakan and apollo
gized to him for the foolish whim of his
mother begging him to humor her and to
do the best he could, since she had set
her heart on seeing what he could do
with the needle. Labakan nearly laughed

dreams, but according to sure signs.

for he brought to me the dagger from
my friend Elf Bey."
''He stole it from me-" said Omar. MY
trusting confidence has been abused by
him."
The Sultan was too angry to listen to
these words. Accustomed to autocratic
action and blind obedience, he ordered
that Omar be dragged out Then he
withdrew into private apartments with
Labakan, furious at the vagary of his
wife, which had spoiled the festivities.
The Sultana in the meantime remained
certain that cheat had gained the heart
of the old Sultan. She did not permit
outward appearances to shake her con-
fidence in the truth of her dreams. AS
soon as her grief permitted her to con-
slider calmly she began TO plan how to
convince the Sultan of his error Her
Investigations showed her that this would
be by no means easy. Not only had
Labakan obtained the dagger, he had
also drawn from the frank and communi-
cative Omar almost the whole story of
his life with the Bassa. Therefore, he
was able to play his part skillfully, espe-
cially as he had always acted the Prince,
even while, he was only a tailors APP
prentice.
She called her wisest slaves and held
council with them. They proposed and
dismissed plan after plan, till Melechsa-
lah, an old, wise Arabian woman, said:
