Mr.. Dolph-As many as ever established
a government in those islands-fifteen hum
dred people-the men who pay the taxes,
who own the property and who represent
the moral and Christian element of the
Islands. If force is to be used to overthrow
the present government there it will be
worse than piracy, as stated by Mr. John
A kasson in an interview published in
the Washington Post.
What the Country Needs.
The Hawaiian Islands were so near the
coast of the United States as to be OF
great commercial and naval Importance
The country needed an aggressive policy
for the purpose of extending and strength
ening its commerce and effecting closer
relations with the South American repub-
lies. 1t needed policy that extended be-
yond its own boundaries 1t needed. in
fact, a policy that would go with its citi-
zens and its flag wherever they might law
fully go.
1t needed policy that would give it a
commanding position among the great
powers of the world. The question of the
future control of the Hawaiian Islands was
one of national importance, affecting the
national safety, the interests of commerce
the requirements of the navy and the pro-
lection of American citizens.

ADMIRAL GHERARDPs ACCOUNTS.
They Are Finally Allowed by the
Second Controller.

Second Controller Mansur Of the Treasury
accounts aggregating 1891 incurred by
Rear Admiral Bancroft Gherardi, U. S. N,
in returning courtesies shown him by the
republics of South America in December
1872, and January, 1898, on his trip up the
Atlantic coast at the head of the United
States fleet to participate in the Columbian
naval review at New York While the
admiral was on his way up the coast the
United States fleet was the recipient of a
number of entertainments at Montevideo.
Rio de Janeiro and other points, and Rear
Admiral Gherardi, in the name of the
United States. returned the courtesies ex-
tended him by giving entertainments to
foreign naval officers aboard his flagship.
His accounts were sent to the Navy Depart
ment. paid by the paymaster general of
the navy, upon the approval of the Secre-
tary OF the Navy, out of the contingent
fund of the Navy Department, and in
course or business forwarded to the Treas
ury Department for final settlement.
Controller Mansur, in an extensive opin-
ion, holds that the contingent fund of the
Navy Department is not strictly usable
Tor Such purposes as entertaining naval
officials of foreign governments, but was
intended to be used for purposes apper-
tanning to repairs, &c, of naval vessels.
Naval officers, Controller Mansur holds,
should not be personally taxed for return
ing courtesies shown them by a foreign
government as representatives of the
United States. but a fund for such pur-
pose, in his opinion, should be provided by
Congress. In the present instance he SAYS
he will pass the account, but hopes in the
future the Secretary of the Navy will see
his way clear to provide for such accounts
out of some other fund than the contingent
fund of the navy. or, if he cannot, the
responsibility for paying such class of ac-
counts must rest with the Navy Depart
ment and not with the second controller
of the Treasury Department

and renewing such portions of it as may
be found unseryiceable.
The Washington Monument.
Il recommend that the salaries of the
two steam engineers at the Washington
monument be increased from $50 and $50
to $50 and $40 per month, respectively. The
duties OF these two men are of great i'm
portance Upon their efficiency and intel
hgence depend, to a great extent, the lives
of those who use the elevator. The in
crease asked is small. and the men deserve
it. / also recommend that the pay of the
two fremen be placed at $50 per month
each. That is the rate allowed firemen in
the executive departments, and there ap-
pears to be no reason why the firemen at
the monument should receive less. The
Item for fuel, lights, OIL waste, repairs, etc,
should be increased from $1,000 to $500,
for the purpose of painting the iron in
the interior of the monument, and an item
is added TOR new engine for the electric
light system to replace the old one, which
is in bad condition and constantly break
ing down. In submitting these estimates 1
earnestly recommend that the various items
under the heading of Improvement and
care of public grounds" be aggregated un-
der one head, and while each item of work
shall be named, the whole shall be covered
by general sum, not specific sum for
each item. This is done in other depart
ments of the government particularly the
quartermaster's department of the army.
1t saves quite an amount of clerical labor
by permitting the preparation of accounts
thirty; moreover II permits small balances
which might be saved from one item to be
used in some other equally necessary and
important work"

Libraries for Omcers.

The Secretary OF War has approved the
following views OF Maj. Gen. Schofield in
regard to the responsibility for text books:
Every officer should provide himself with
the necessary technical books to enable him
to discharge his duties. This principle is
established at the very beginning of a
young officers career when he becomes q
cadet at West Point He is there required
to purchase and pay for his own books.
THE books issued by the War Depart-
ment to company organizations are in
tended, at least, primarily, for the use OF
the enlisted men, though there is. of course
no objection to their use by officers when
necessary; but such use by officers should
not be the rule, because the books are re-
qulred for the on-commissoned officers
and are no greater in number than neces-
sary for that purpose.
Il approve the suggestion that any loss OF
this kind of public property, arising from
the action of any officer, be supplied by
stoppage against his pay"

ON THE COMMITTEES LIST.
The President Was Authorized in His
Internal Rexenue Statements.

The President Was Authorized in His
Internal Revenue Statements.
There are great many conflicting state
ments about how the President came to
make the announcement in his message
that the committee on ways and means
had adopted an internal revenue plan
which included tax on corporations. None
OF the statements thus far made have been
accurate. Some of the members Of the
committee deny that such action has been
taken by the committee, yet it has de-
veloped beyond question that the announce
ment made by Mr. Cleveland was authorized
by the committee. 1t is an extraordinary
thing for the President to inform Congress
of what it's committees are doing, but Mr..
Cleveland is in the habit of doing extra
ordinary things.
The committee were informed last week
that Mr.. Cleveland wanted to close up his
message and would like to know what they
had done on the internal revenue question,
that he might refer to it. At that time they
had done nothing on that subject, but In or
der to facilitate Mr.. Clevelands work they
took action at once. a session OF the demo-
Gratis of the committee was called for that
purpose and they decided to tax cigarettes,
playing cards, inheritanceS and corpora
tions. A formal vote was taken and by the
authority of the committee Mr.. Cleveland
was informed of what had been done. 1t
ficient revenue and it was not thought that
either whisky tax or a broader income
tax would be necessary. They have found
now that they will need more revenue, and
the conflict between the democrats of the
committee now is between those who desire
a whisky tax and those who wish to broad
en- the tax on corporations to general in
come tax. Though some of the committee
are disgruntled there is no doubt 1t is fact
that the committee did take formal action
and that the notification to the President
was authorized.

THREE N EW GUNBOATS.
Contracts for Their Construction Awarded
by Secretary Herbert.
The Newport News Ship Building Co.
Will Build Them-The Bids Lower
Than Was Anticipated.

Secretary Herbert today awarded the
contract for the construction Of gunboats
Z, and to the Newport News Ship Build
ing Company, at their bid Of $3.50, 900 for
each vessel, or $4,000 for the three. The
authority for the construction of these
vessels Is contained in the naval appro-
priation act Of March 3. 1893. 1t authorized
the construction of three new vessels,
these vessels to be Of the class known as
''light-draft protected gunboats," Of about
loo tons displacement, and to cost not
more than 100000 each, excluding any
premiums that may be paid for increased
speed and cost of armament The act
further provided that the contract for the
construction Of either of said gunboats
shall contain such provisions as to speed,
and premiums and penalties affected by
speed. as In the judgment of the Secretary
OF the Navy, may be deemed proper and
fitting.
Proposals Called for.
Under authority conferred by this act
sealed proposals were invited for the con-
struction Of these vessels. which, for the
purpose of distinguishing them, were desig-
mated as gunboats Nos. z, and 8, under
two general classes, each class embracing
all three vessels. In class / the hull and
machinery, including engines, boilers and
appurtenances and equipment, complete in
all respects. in accordance with the draw
ings, plans and specifications provided by
the Secretary of the Navy" Glass 2, the
hull and machinery, including engines,
boilers and appurtenar ces and equipments
complete in all respects in accordance with
the drawings, plans and specifications pro-
vided by the bidder
Two designs were determined upon by the
department, the one for No. being that
or liSht-draft protected gunboat of about
200 tons displacement, having a speed of
II knots per hour. and that for Nos 8
and . being of a light-draft protected gun
boat for special service, having a speed of
IL knots per hour. These vessels are de-
signed for use in Chinese waters and for
river service elsewhere.
The Bids Received.
The bids received were much lower than
any heretofore received for similar work
and the total bid of the successful COM
pany was nearly S3OO.OOO less than that of
the next lowest. that of the Union iron
works of San Francisco. The plans of the
department will be followed in the con-
struction Of the three vessels. and the
work of the Newport News Company will
be watched with considerable interest, as
1t is their first venture in the field as a
builder OF war ships. They have a good
plant and have constructed some fine mer-
chant ships, including the Nictheroy or
FL Cid Of the Brazilian navy.

GOING TO TURKEY.
Sir Julian PauncefOte Knows Nothing
About His Rumored Transfer.

The revival today of the runOr that Sir
Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador to
the United States. was to be transferred to
one OF the European courts was the occa-
sion or inquiry at the embassy in this
city as to the truth of the story. The reply
to the question was that Sir Julian knows
nothing about it now" The post assigned
TO him by the latest report is that of am
bassador to Turkey, which, by reason of
the relation between that country and
Egypt and the vast extent of British in
terests in the latter. is one of the most
important In the British list. The position
was hiled for many years by Sir William
Arthur White and the salary attached is
s+u.up- Nhen the rank of Sir Julian was
raised to that of ambassador II is under
stood the salary was increased from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum.

IN 4 SNARL.
The Tariff Bill VIII Not Re Reported
Until Next Week.

The committee on ways and means is in
a snarl over the tariff and the understand
ing in the committee this morning is tha t
the bill will not be reported until Wednes-
day week. Then there will probably be two
bills put in. one for the customs and one
for the internal revenue. The committee
appear to be greatly bewldered and there
is considerable feeling in the House on ac-
count of their delays and apparent inability
to come to conclusion. Members on the
floor express surprise at their inability in
all the time they have had to get the bill
ready for immediate consideration.
