IN HOLIDAY WEEK

LIHIJE, January 4.-The Lihue peo-
pie danced the old year out and the
new year in. Some time ago the La
dies club gave the gentlemen the time
of their life, and it was therefore not
to be wondered at that the latter
exerted themselves to the utmost to
return the compliment in a tolerably
acceptable manner. On foot and
horseback, in buggy and auto, the resi-
dents of Kauai, from Keaia to Ma
kaweli, focked to the Lihue social hall
last Tuesday night and lost no time
after once there to get down to bust
ness. The Lihue band stationed out
side and the native quintet seated up
on the stage alternated in enticing
those present on the floor. At half
after ten refreshments were served
and the members of the Kegel Club
treated the ladies and visitors to a
selection from latest edition of ex-
purgated Kegel songs. After the last
stroke of the Cathedral bell had sound
ed the end OF 1907 pandemonium broke
loose, but gradually subsidized and gave
way to the exchange of New Years
wishes. After the fervor had gone
down a little, dancing was again re-
sumed for an hour or two.
If it had not been for the fact that
one had just stepped out Of an 1903
model automobile, one could have
fancied oneself transported back to
colonial time last Tuesday night on
arriving at Hoea, E. A. Knudsen's
beautiful new home. Invitations, linn
tied to the district, had been sent out
for a colonial dance to celebrate the
departure of the old year and its sor-
rows and to welcome the new and its
joys.
Mrs. H. p. Faye, Waimea, entertain
ed large number Of the people of the
district at a garden party last Thurs
day Neither the Kekaha nor the Wa
inca mill was running that day, and
there was consequently quite a turn
out Tennis. croquet and races were
INDUCED in and the vietors rewarded
with suitable prizes. The refreshments
| served in the spacious grounds were
delicious and the whole affair thor
oughly enjoyed by all present.
| The Board of License Commissioners
/ for Kauai met last Monday to consider
| the application of J. K. Cockett for a
wholesale license in Koloa. When Mr..
Cockett applied for license in August
| last year, the Inspector reported un-
favorably owing to the fact that he
had failed to obtain the consent OF
the majority of the property holders
within the 1000 feet distance. As he
had since complied with the law, the
board voted to grant him license.
In the matter of procuring evidence
against the blind pigs which pick up
a splendid living all over Kauai at the
expense of the laborers and the IL
censed dealers the Commissioners de-
cided that it was the duty of both the
inspector and the police to do their
utmost to bring the sinners to justice

WALKER MAY NOT
BE EXTRADITEO
DefauIter Likely to Go Free If
He Surrenders Certain
Securities.

SAN DIEGO, December 27.-Julius
H. Pease, the attorney who came to
San Diego to see if he could recover
any of the securities which it is
thought w r. Walker wrecker of the
New Britain Comm Bark. has hidden
in this city, left this morning on the
steamer for Ensenada. Whether Pease
will succeed in recovering any of the
missing bonds and other securities in
the southern city remains to be seen.
He was selected by the directors OF the
wrecked bank to come West on &C
count of his knowledge of the securi-
ties. It is thought that the officials
of the bank are more anxious to OBJ
tain the securities than they are to see
Walker punished, and it is said that if
Walker will tell about the securities
he may never be extradited.
Of the $685. 900 taken by Walker much
was in the form of non-negotiable
securities. These are of no value to
anyone but the real owner. Walker
could not dispose of them. It is posi-
BILE that he may be induced to reveal
the hiding place of the securities il
proper measures are taken.

SAN FRANCISCO, December Is
THE cleanest and best kept liner that
ever entered the harbor." was the
unanimous comment of those who
boarded the big liner Manchuria as she
arrived in the bay from Hongkong
yesterday morning. The steamer was
spick and span from stem to stern,
and many compliments were passed to
Captain Saunders and Chief Officer
Stewart on her appearance. The Man
churia's passage from the Orient was
of the pleasantest description, fine
weather being experienced all the way.
ION Christmas eve a Christmas tree
was given by Miss West and Miss
Goedecke, the stewardess, to the chill
dren passengers. A fancy dress din
ner followed by a deck promenade, at
which Captain J. w. Saunders was
awarded first prize for an imitation Of
King Edward VII, was given on
Christmas day. Mrs. Ralph Avery as
Cleopatra was voted first prize, but
would not accept the honor, as she
was a member of the committee. Many
other characters We're presented and
the whole function was heartily ap-
preciated by those on board. The din
| ing hall stairway, promenade deck and
music room were all beautifully decor
ated with festoons of flowers emblem

TIE SUFFRAGE PROBLEM.

Governor Magoon and War Depart
ment officials have hoped for some
wise solution of suffrage problems.
Several suggestions have been made,
but nothing has come of them The
conservative class of voters is very
small. Till some way can be found to
strengthen their influence in the gov
eminent, it will probably be difficult
to establish a stable regime without al
protectorate The advisory commis-|
sion has worked out scheme for null
tiple voting. This would make it pos
stble for man to have four votes
at an election-one based on manhood
suffrage, one for a. property qualifiea-
ton, one for an educational qualln-
cation, and one for being the head OF
a family 1t has also been proposed
that in the municipal and provincial
elections foreigners, including English
men, Americans and Germans, who
comprise about 80 per cent. of the BUSH
ness people, be allowed to vote. These
plans have not met with favor. The
Spaniards, who do 60 per cent. of the
business on the island. think they
would be embroiled by the changes,
and do not want them.
Nothing has yet been done toward
building UP a military force, the alb
sence of which proved one of the
causes of the downfall of President
Palma. Just before he resigned, the
Cuban Congress authorized the re-
cruiting of force of 10000 men and
the mastering of volunteers, but ten
days after this was authorized the
United states INTERVIEWED and nothing
has been done since to execute that
| law.
The voting lists will not be ready
| for three months. The municipal and
provincial elections can not be held
| till some time next summer. A Pres
| ideutial election next autumn is lm-
| probable, unless Cuban affairs are in
| much better condition than now seems
| possible. There would be great OBJ
/ lection to a campaign and. an election
| anv time during the crop harvesting
| season. which begins in December and
| ends in March. The consequent agita-
ton would greatly disturb industry.

CUBA MAKING
HARD PROBLEM
Continued from, Page one.e

Magoon government is running along
smoothly and the census of the inhab-
itants has recently been completed.
There remains vast amount Of tab
ulation. before the voting lists, which
will comprise about 100000 men, can
be made up. The Var Department.
will insist upon the municipal and
provincial elections being held first.
When those subordinate governments
are we'll established and able to go 1t
alone for a few months without dis
turbance, a Presidential election might
follow.
1t is hardly expected, however, that
the three or four political parties will
consent to the holding of an election,
and matters are otherwise in such an
unsettled state that an election might
demonstrate the necessity for con-
tinued occupation of the island. II
the little Republic is to go 1t alone
again, the authorities here want It to
start under the best possible auspices
The Liberals have split into two
parties and already have two cand1-
dates in the field. One is General
Jose Miguel Gomez, former Governor
of Santa Clara Province. and also LID
eral candidate for the Presidency; the
other is DR.. Alfredo Zayas, formerly a
Senator from Habana, the manager OF
the Gomez campaign committee, and
now a member of the advisory COM
mfttee of the provisional government.
The Moderates, to which President
Palma belonged, have ceased to exist
as a party and class themselves with
the Conservatives. Senior Quesada, the
Cuban Minister at Washington, is
mentioned by sorhe of the former
Moderates as a Presidential candi-
date.
