known In Hawaii aa "Cupid," the prea-J
ent delegate In eonrreee, la the only
mmlr cf the family who holde art

be detrated by a White man at the cora-

a white man. Kuhlo hta held hla job aa
long aa he haa merely because he la an
Hawaiian and the laat of the royal line,
and the whites have hesitated to make
a serious effort to- displace biro, fear
ing that It would be regarded aa a race
matter.
"Unk MoCandless, however, although
a white man with no native blood In his
ivelns, can possibly come nearer to de

"WE'LL USE MORRISON AND
CUT IWADISON"-JOSSELYN
The Clty' council ought to go a little
slow In carrying out the provisions of
the ordinance passed last wedneaday,
providing for the sale of the 1450,000
worth of bonds for the reconstruction of
the Madison street bridge and raising
the company's payment 'of the city
of $1,200 to 115.000 a year, ac
cording to a statement made this
morning by President Josselyn of th
Portland Railway. Light Power com
pany, and also in a letter sent by him
resterday to Mayor Lane. Otherwise
he city may find Itself Jn the position
of being unable to use the money after,
the bonds shall have been sold.
"We have no desire to antagonise the
community." aaid President Josselyn
this" morning, nor to appear vindictive.
But we donrt propose to surrender our
rfghts without a contest, xne orainance
passed by tha council has many legal
flaws In It, and they will find that they
cannot bulla tne bridge nnoer tne pro
visions. If w6 did not contest It, ome
one else would.
, VBesldes, we don't have to run our
cars over the Madison Street bridge.. We
do it merely as an accomomdatlon to the
public and we lose money by It We can
run our cars around by the Morrison
street bridge and transfer the passen
gers, and we will do that rather than
pay'any exorbitant' toll. '
"The letter I sent to Mayor Lane yes
terday was Intended merely td prevent
the city from going ahead with the sale
of the bonds and then finding itself
with the money on hand and unable to
expend it. The -Madison street bridge
cannot be built under the act of the
council, we nave certain ngnts on tne
bridge and we do not propose to Bur-
render inem.
"Understand, we do not want to ao-
pear to act In a vlnd.lctlve manner. , AU

'i "Yes, it is. I am just as ready and
anxious to take my medicine as the of

sary I will take both tests."
Colonel Stewart smiled meaningly af
ter the last sentence and among his

take the double test to disprove tha ru
