/ acquired under the act. This question was
first submitted to the Acknowledgement in
connection with the general law of the state
of California on the subject.
The Encouragement was of the opinion
that the general law was sufficient. The
comptroller indicated that the opinion OF
the encouragement would control his
judgement in such matter
Whether the actof March 3, 1887 APP
proprlating S350,000 was subject to the
provisions of the revised statutes re-
curing that appropriations undisposed of
for two years should revert to the treas
ury. The comptroller was of the opinion
that the appropriation was permanent and
not subject to the limitation of the general
law.
3-Whether the act of January 81, 1899
increased the appropriation to $500, 600 and
made that sum Immediately available for
the purchase of the site
The attention of the comptroller is now
called to the title of this act which is ian
act to increase the appropriation for the
purchase of site etc. and that the act
itself provides that the amount hereto
fore fixed for the cost of the purchase etc
be and the same is hereby increased to
$4,000 Mr. Morrow understood the
comptroller to say that this phraseology
was sufficient.
The comptroller was asked by Mr. Nor
row in his recent letter to indicate the
power of the commission under the act of
March 3, 1887 as amended, even assuming
that the terms of the amendment are not
sufficient to make the additional appropria-
ton. The comptroller is preparing areply
to Mr.. MorrOw's letter which will indi-
cate the exact status of the appropriation
and the authority of the commission to pro
coed with the purchase of a site.
1t appears that the original act introduced
by Mr.. Morrow expressly provided for an
appropriation of SS50,O0O, but the House
committee on public buildings aud grounds
reported a substitute for the bill, which,
among other things, reduces the limits of
cost but omits the technical words of the
appropriation.
The comptroller has intimated in his
opinion that the two acts only appropriated
S550,O0g, but that the commission has
authority to negotiate for purchase at
cost not to exceed $500, 900, the excess of
S350,000 to be paid when Congress makes
the additional appropriation.

The Arguments Against Mckinley as Minister

to the Sandwich Islands.
Especial to the HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The score OF
more of patriots in Washington who desire
to serve their country as minister to the
Hawaiian islands are greatly exercised over
the printed report from San Francisco that
Senator Stanford and other prominent Cal
ifornians have Endorsed David Mckinley, the
onsulgeneral of the Hawaiian islands at
San Francisco, for the place. This gentle
man claims that it would be manifestly i'm
proper to send Mr.. Mckinley as our rep
resentative to Honolulu in view of the fact
that he must have, technically at least, sur
rendered his rights as an American citizen,
and sworn allegiance to the King of the
Sandwich islands before he could represent
him in his present capacity in California.
1t is believed here that this argument is too
far fetched to carry any special weight with
President Harrison; but it has been ad-
yanced and it will be worked for all it is
worth,
