ty.two lots, the Kiolakea, Keaa home
steads, comprising eight lots, and other
surveys of reservoirs and county stable
lots.
1.-THE maps based on the surveys so
made will not be completed and hand
ed in to the commissioner of public
lands until the latter part of this week,
"Neither the residents of Waiohinu
nor the Delegate, at the time he made
his speech there, appear to have been
acquainted with the facts above set
forth, and the residents depending upon
the former assurances of the Governor,
as to the opening of the homesteads,
naturally inferred from the lapse of
time, that the Governor was not carry
ing out what he had originally led them
to believe that he would carry out.
"Hence, during his speech the Dele
gate was confronted with these sup.
posed facts and called upon to state
why the Governor had not carried out
his promise.
cit now appears that the Delegate
did not go further than to state that
if the Governor had so promised and
had not carried out his promise, the
81 have said, as stated above, that
the conference was entirely satisfactory,
because the Delegate after talking with
me and ascertaining the facts of the
case has treated the matter man-fashion
and with squareness. 1t does not seem
necessary to say anything more on the
subject for that reason.
| Gas soon as possible the residents
of Waiohinu, who on account of being
not informed, made the representations
which misled the Delegate, will be in
formed Of the correct facts of the case
and the incident will be closed.
"The Delegate has Joined with me in
issuing this statement.
Staggered Politicians.
| Republicans and Democrats alike
were rather dumfounded when they
read Delegate Kalanianaole IS interview
in the Sunday Advertiser respecting the
| princess then differences of opinion
with Governor Frear. Republicans, who
have had something to say in the past
as to the manner of conducting Prince
Kuhio s campaign, expressed the belief
that he was cutting his supports from
under him, while the Democrats regard
ed Kuhio's first campaign move as one
which will give them an added oppor-
tunity to slip their own candidate into
congress.
Senator Charles Chillingworth stated
that the Hawaiians who have read Ku
HOS interview believe that he has
made mistake, and that if the Re
publican party is to win now it viii
be by sheer force of hard work in re
pairing the fences that the prince has
broken down in his sudden stampede.
"That talk of the prince has Ger
tainly astonished me and it has mad,
a lot of Republican leaders rather
angry said he. "The prince appar
entity was none too strong on Hawai-
and yet he gives out a statement which
will not aid in making the part,
stronger, but will have a tendency t.
divide our forces. 1t seems to me, un
der the circumstances, as if some of on
best support here would be LOST
The senator took rather blue view
of the situation and as the prince =
first move toward the coming 1910 cam
paign believes it was ill-advised.
Motive Imputed.
Many like expressions were to b,
heard wherever politicians gathered
while the Democrats were openly ex
ultant.
There was general question of
"What is Kuhio thinking of2'' Will
opinions were about evenly divided n
to whether he was deliberately main
! ing the Republican party in order t
strengthen an Independent party, o
which he would be the leader, o
J whether he purposed throwing hi
strength to the Democrats. What othe
reason he may have had, no one coul
imagine.
Kuio's recantation will not alto
gether heal up the breach created
although it will do much to smootl
things over for the present.
