The June 14 evening bulletin discusses Delegate Wilcox on port improvements, Governor Dole’s interview suggesting possible warship and troop needs, and critiques of judges and political figures. It notes Boer staying power, constitutional interpretations, and attacks on officials including Judge Humphreys and Jared Smith, with references to Foster and Estee.
The Thurstonian conspiracy story centers on Judge Humphreys and a group claiming a thirty seven vote victory from clerical and AG department staff. They boast of achievements while Thornton Hartwell hire stenographers to document their accounts. Evidence points to personal malice and political chicanery as the source of the attack on Judge Humphreys, with officials accused of reviving past tactics to bully and browbeat the courts.
Special correspondence from Washington reports Delegate Wilcox in the capital for several days to urge action on Hawaiian affairs. He seeks a commission to study land valuation and outline a plan for Congress to consider in December, noting lack of funds but urging a targeted appropriation with Senate and House support. Wilcox also pushes for postal reforms, including sending a postal inspector to Honolulu for a general inspection and reporting on service, aiming to adjust operations within available funds.
Secretary of State John W. Foster discusses the insular questions after U S possession of the Philippines and Porto Rico case rulings. He calls the court decision practical and says Congress has power to regulate affairs in new possessions, shaping eastern territorial governance. A reader laments misprints in his newspaper.
