began to improve. Nicholas Russell, of
Pennsylvania, had charge OF the band
for two years, when Mr.. Carr again took
the leadership until 1891, when John j.

been effected, and tho band is now the
pride of Virginia al we'll as the city of
Roanoke.
The band has played in nearly every
town and city in the State as we'll as in
many distant cities. 1t is noted for it's
musical achievements from the noun

superior in the State.

states. and the King OF the Hawaiian
Islands, extending for seven years after
the exchange OF It's ratification, the dura-
tion of the convention restraining com
mercial reciprocity OF January 30. 1915,
and in addition, granting TO the United
States the exclusive right 10 establish
coaling station on Pearl river. Ratih-
cations were exchanged at Washington
November O. 1857, and the treaty was
proclaimed the same day. The right to
establish a coallng station was not in
the treaty of 1916 but was provided for
I'm an amendment 10 the convention OF
extension. inserted by the Senate while
the matter was under consideration In
that body. The amendment is as fol-
lows: ''His Majesty the King Of the
Hawaiian Islands grants to the Govern
ment of the United States the exclusive
right to enter the harbor of Pearl river,
in the Island Of Oahu, and to establish
and maintain there n coaling and repair
station for the use Of vessels Of the
United States. and to that end the United
States may improve the entrance Of said
harbor and do all other things needful
to the purpose aforesaid"
During the FIVE years and the two
months that this amendment has been
in force the United States has not entered
into any negotiations with Hawaii to-
wards gaining possession of Pearl river
harbor. The nearest approach to any
effort in this direction was the appropria-
tion by Congress last year Of s25O,0OO for
the purpose OF establishing a coaling
station. This amount was carried in the
Sundry Civil bill. 1t has remained In the
Treasury, however. and nothing that
would provide for its use has been at
tempted.

Vhich are likely 20 cause 10 end Of trou-

think that the principal that recognizes
the right OF the Government through any
OF it's departments or agents TO discrimi-
nate In favor OF one individual or enter
prise, and not for air alike, as indefen-
slble upon any line OF fairness. The
Postmaster-General recommended dis
continuance Of the appropriation for this
purpose, and says that this special IA
cility allowed has FOR some time been
a source OF much annoyance 10 the de-
partment, and has hampered the best
interests OF the mail service lie says
further that when special facility pay
ments were first started II was under
stood that they We're but temporary. so
as TO bridge over a period until the
natural growth OF the mails would yield
sufficient compensation TO do away with
the occasion for additional allowances.
since which time the aggregate yearly
compensation 20 the railroads drawing
the special allowance for ordinary mail
and for transportation. independent Of
special service. has more than doubled
so that the ordinary compensation will
be greatly In ecess Of ordinary and spe-
cial compensation added together years
ago. For these and other reasons not
mentioned, the minority oppose this sec-
ton OF the bill. The section in question.
Is for special mail facilities between
