Delegate Wilcox Asked to Work for Re-Enact- inent of Exclusion Law. Honolulu, Nov. 21, via San Fran cisco, .Nov. 28. At a meeting oi the Home Bule Republican party, as it is now known, called to give a farewell reception to Delegate Wilcox, resolu tions - were adopted asking him to work for the removal - of -r Governor Dole and denouncing Secretary of the Territory Cooper for having re commended at Washington' that Chinese immigration into Hawaii be allowed. The ' resoutions against Dole were based largely upon his re cent action in raising money for gov ernment purposes by borrowing it, under an understanding that the next legislature , would . repay the money. Dole took : this course rather than call an extra session of the legisalture, whicV, the Home Rulers wanted. " , " - The resolutions as adopted pledge Home Bule candidates in the future to repudiate any debts that the gov ernor may contract in "this way and this action may interfere to an ex tent with the governor's plans to get the- money. The Home Rulers al lege that . he is usurping the powers of the legislature in thus raising money and calling upon a future legislature to appropriate it. The party also instructed Delegate Wilcox,, who was elected as a Home Buler, to work for the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion laws. . The anti-Chinese resolution declares that while 90 per cent of the Asiatics that are in that country came here to be plantation laborers, less than 35 per cent of hem are such now, and that the rest are in competition with whites and Hawaiians as arch ene mies and merchants.

The switch men -on seven railroads of Pittsburg have decided to strike at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. At a meeting of '. the Brotherhood of Switchmen tonight which was attended, by about 600 members, this action was decided upon, and the result of this meeting can only - be conjectured. ' In antici pation of possible trouble it is learned that the Pennsylvania 'Railroad has made an application to the city ; for 60 ; officers to be on. hand in the Union station yards at 6 o'clock to morrow morning, and in the Balti more & Ohio yards fully 100 Pinker ton men are on duty tonightl r The claim made at the switchmens meeting tonight was that 700 to 1,000 men would obey the strike order in the ; morning'. The r estimate- was that in the Union station yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad 138 men would go out ; that the yards at Pit- cairn and Wall would go out in the same proportion ; that the Baltimore & Ohio and ' the Pittsburg & Lake Erie yards would go out solidly and that the Monongahela, the Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston, the Shoen berger Terminal and the Pittsburg and. Western would be practically without 'men. It was also Paid that the Fort Wayne and Panhandle men would lend a helping hand. ihe demand of the men is that the Chicago rate be paid here.. This rate is 27 cents per hour for day conduc foreman 29 cents for night conductors of switch engines; helpers, 25 cents day and 27 cents night. The Pitts, burg rate at present is 25 cents, for day and 26 for night conductors ; 19 cents day and 20 cents night for helpers " ' . ' Grand : Master Hawley. of the Switchmen's Union, is expected here tomorrow to conduct the strike. CONGER'S PROTEST. State Was Made Under Instructions From the -:;:.; Department Washington, Nov. 25. Minister Conger's action in protesting to the Chinese government against tne arbi trary cancellation of a railway fran chise, granted to an American : com pany, and its transfer to a French corporation, was taken upon represen tations made to the state department by the American-China Improvement Company, which has a franchise to construct a railroad from . Canton to Hankow. It is understood that for feiture of the claim was based on two counts : First, that the road was not completed within the stipulated per od of time; and second, that the American corporation had passed to the .Belgians. The state department holds that the conditions in China for the past year and a half have been such as to make it impossible for the American com pany to have completed its work, and that for this delay the Chinese gov ernment itself is responsible. ' In the second count the fact that the road maintains its American ' charter makes it incumbent upon our govern ment, following its rule, to defend the franchise. , Treasure-Ship Making Good Time.

The consequence is that there . have been .mutinies in several districts. Hostile demonstrations here recently have only been quieted by the author ities hastily scraping together a few thousand piastres as something on ac count. ' . . v Englishman Will Be Deported.
