Delegate Kuhio, NJ. G, Pacheco and
j. H. Wilson arrived from San Fran.
cisco in the Matson steamer Manoa last
evening. Kuhio was one of the Ha.
waiian delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention, and Wilson and Pa.
eheco were delegates to the Democratic
convention.
The Delegate, came from Washington,
whittier he had gone from Chicago.
He was called to Honolulu by his at
torneys for the trial of the suit to
break the trust Of Queen Liiuokalani,
instituted by Kuhio. He said that his
attorneys wished him to be here by
July Is.
As to appropriations for Hawaii, the
Delegate said that items which might
be relied upon were $4,000 for the
Kahului breakwater, $4,000 for light
house work, and $4,000 for survey
of the military road around Oahu.
Members of the house military sub.
committee said they would assent to an
appropriation Of 1000, 900 if the sen.
ate would amend the bill, which had
passed from the house, but the senate
provided only the money for the sur
vey. He took this to mean that the
road certainly would be built. aN
Predicts Hughes Election. 80
Naturally, the. Delegate predicted the
election of Hughes. Most of the Pro
gressives are for him, he said, except o
few disgrnntled ones, who are for Will
son. The Hawaiian band played at
the wharf for the Delegate, and Mayor
Lane and others welcomed him home.
Mr.. 'Pacheco was advised that rumoT
had named him as next postmaster. He
smiled. When he was in Washington
some two weeks ago, he said, no Tesig
nation had been received from Post
master Young, who was with Mrs
Young In North Carolina, but he said
that there were several applications or
. file in the Office of Postmaster &c neTa
tBurleson, with whom he conferred, AND
that he had been permitted to see thes'
letters in the files.
Names of the applicants he could moi
give, he said, but the number, wal
about ten, which he condemned as be
| ing typically Hawaiian, too many hurt
| ing the chances of the others. Tha
MI. Paeheco had been permitted to Be,
the applications for the Office seemed
significant. ga. "r. $3.50
Judge Stuart Is Angry
He and Mr.. Wilson urged Judge 7
B. Stuart not to resign, but the judg
was determined, Mr.. Pacheco said, ant
intends to make it stick, although tn
day when it will take effect was no
known. Judge Stuart is angry at tn
reappoi ntments of Chief Justice Rob
ertson and Circuit Judge Whitney
holding that Democrats should hav
filed the places, with which Mr.. Pa
checO agreed, as he believed that re
warding the loyal party men was tn
only means of holding the party tc
gether, although he condemned tn
spoils system and said search for eff
cheney within the party was the thing.
Secretary of the Interior Lane wa
told a few pointed things about Gov
ernor Pinkham by Messrs. PachecO an
Wilson, particularly regarding tn
> homesteading policy, but the secretar
appeared to be pre- JUDGED. After say
ing that Mr.. Lane had heard niue
from different sides, Mr.. PachecO sal
frankly that he believed Governo
/
q here was that of the secretary himsel
= who wishes to conserve the govern
ment lands for the government, q pc
a icy which, in Colorado and elsewheT
has caused bitter criticism.
e Governors Policy Upheld.
n The Governor policy in grantin
6 only small pieces of ground to son
: homesteaders was criticised to the Sc
Rotary, and Mr.. Pacheco reiterated I'll
a argument that the only way to Anne
7. ioanize the Islands was through
homesteading policy that gave ma
enough land to support him.
Jud ging by Mr.. Pacheco's admissiol
and the tenor, of his. talk, Governs
Pinkham stands well with Secretal
