EARLY HAWAIIAN HISTORY.
An Interesting Contribution From a
Hawaiian Consul.


Hawaiian Consul.
Mr.. EDITOR: With the permission of
His Elk. iona Austin, | enclose here
with letter from Consul Swan OF Port
Townsend, which contains an interesting
contribution to the early history of the
Islands.
1t is most probable that Captain Gray
was mistaken in regard to the rank OF
the youth whom he took to Boston
Liholiho (Kamehameha H. was not
born till 1897, and there is no tradition
OF any chief OF high rank except Kaiana
visiting foreign countries in this period.
kaiana returned from China and the
Northwest Coast in January, 1889. At
this time Kamehameha was in posses
sion of about two-thirds OF Hawaii. and
Keoua still held Hilo, Puma and Kau,
while Kahekili and his brother Kaeo,
bore sway over all the other islands.
Captain Delano relates that in 1901 he
took charge OF Remarkably likely
YOUTH" who was said to be natural son
of the King, and had assumed the name
of Alexander Stewart. At Whampoa,
China, Captain Delano allowed him to
ship on an East Indiaman, bound for
England. On Delano's next visit to the
Islands in 1906, the King and chiefs were
much disappointed and displeased with
him for his breach of trust.

A Pittsburg doctor says he can dag
nose ailments by examining single
hair of the patient. Two young men, as
joke, took him hair from a bay horse.
The doctor gravely wrote prescription,
and said his fee was $25, as the case was
precarious. They were staggered, but
paid the fee, and after they got out
laughed all the way to the apothecary's.
The latter took the prescription and
read in amazement: Zone bushel of
oats, four quarts of water, stir we'll, and
give three times day, and turn the
animal out to grass" Then the jokers
stopped laughing.

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
Several Important Measures Agreed r
Federal Court Bill May Go Over.

Several Important Measures Agreed To
Federal Court Bill May Go Over.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 29.-The Speaker laid
before the House. this morning, the bill to
define and regulate the jurisdiction of the
United States courts. with Senate amend
ments thereto. Mr.. E. b. Taylor of Ohio
moved non-concurrence In the amend
ments. Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky
suggested that the bill 60 to the committee
on the judiciary. 1t was an important bill.
and should go over till next session. Mr..
Taylor said that he would prefer it to go to
conference with the expectation that IL 90
overuntiI the next session. After some dis
cussion the bill was laid aside temporarily.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa submitted the
conference report on the general deficiency
bill Mr.. Clements of Georgia called at
tention to the differences existing compar-
atively between the number and salaries
of the employees of the Senate and of the
House. On an average each Senator had
three and one-half employees TO wait upon
him. while less than one employe was suffi-
cient to attend to the requirements of a
Representative. Nobody was entitled to
more dignity than the direct representative
of the people. There were some occasion
for the uprising of the public conscience.
The late Mr.. Randall had led one of these
uprlsings In favor OF economy. 1t was now
time that another uprising should be had.
He further believed that the number of
employees in the executive department
might be substantially decreased without
injury TO the public service
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois said that aftNr ex-
animation it seemed TO him that il the
heads of certain departments of the gov
ernment had the power TO choose their en-
ployes there might be small decrease in
some of the bureaus In others there could
not. Bat. considering the growth of the
country, there never had been time in
the history of the country when the work
of the government had been so we'll and SO
economically done as it was to-day.
The conference report was agreed to.
On motion cf Mr.. Henderson of Iowa q
bill was passed appropriating sl0.3l6 to sup
ply a deficiency IN the appropriation for
the compensation of members of the House.
HOLIDAYS FOR PosToFFICE EMPLOYEES.
On motion of Mr. Bingham of Pennsyl-
vania the Senate amendment was concur
red in TO the House bill granting leaves of
absence 20 clerks and employees of the first
and second-ciass postoffices The amend
ment extends the benefits of the measure to
employees in the H bag repair-shops.
The conference report on the bill TO in
crease the efficiency of the signal corps of
the army and TO transfer the weather
service to the Agricultural Department
was agreed to.
The senate bill was passed referring to
ths Court Of Claims certain claims of the
