to be especially provided for in
Section I, Article %, which says in
so many words that until the end
of the first session of the Senate,
the appointees Of the President
shall act" This language covers,
and was plainly intended to cover,
the period between the promulga-
ton Of the Constitution and the
end OF the first session of the Leg
isIature convened under the Re
public. If this language does not
mean this, it has no agcertainable
meaning. To attempt to apply It
to the Advisory Council Is absurd.
The clause which vests in the
Councils the powers of the Senate
and House has, therefore, no applI-
cation. The Advisory Council IS
not the Senate, aud the weekly
meetings are not sessions" in the
sense contemplated above. As the
Senate does not exist, it cannot
nov be in session, and ii can never
have reached the "end of the Grst
session." 50 that there Is Piaialy
no possibility of finding any
thing in Sections l and ?, of
Article 26, to invalidate the Presi-
dents appointments. The Con-
stitution does not vest gener-
ally in the Senate any power Of
confirmation until after the cleo
ton and converting Of the frat Sen
ate This power cannot, therefore,
be one of those granted to the Adj
visory Council. The power of the
Senate to confirm does not come
into being at all until the Adj
visory Council ceases TO be. It
cannot then be one Of those powers
of the Senate which are vested in
the Advisory Council.
II may seem superfuous to de-
vote 50 much space to point that
seems so clear. Certainly the
judgment of common sense i clear
enough, and we do not believe that
the law would speak with a dif-
ferent voice. While the matter
has been brought up in the Coun-
ellis, no disposition has been mani
tested there to usurp powers which
are not theirs, and the exercise of
which would withdraw from the
Senate to be elected by the people
part of the prerogatives with which
it is entrusted by the Constitution.

MORE sPECIoUs THAN SOUND.

The Bulletin, In a late issue, en-
deavors to make it appear that the
present terms of Court are illega l.,
because the Circuit Judges have
been reappOinted by the President
without any submission of their
names to the Advisory Council
for confirmation. The Constitu-
ton vests these appointments IN
the President, subject to confirma-
ton by the Senate. The Bulletin
rests it's contention upon the pro-
visions OF Article 100 of the Consti-
tuition. This article is as follows ::
Until the converting of the first
Legislature, in either special or regu-
lar session, the members of the Advis-
ory Council of the Provisional Gov
eminent of the Hawaiian Islands
shall constitute a Council to be styled
the advisory Council of the Repub-
lie of Hawaii
The Advisory Council of the Repub
lie of Hawaii and the Executive
Council, sitting together, shall be
vested with all the powers and author
ity heretofore vested in the Executive
and Advisory Councils of the said
Provisional Government, and also all
the powers and authority by this
Constitution granted 20 the Senate or
10 the Legislature.
Such converting of the Legislature
shall thereby terminate the existence,
power and authority of the Advisory
Council.
The other provisions of the Con-
stitution which bear upon this
question are contained in the first
two sections OF Article %. They
are quoted in full below:
Section l. The President, with the
approval of the Senate, shall appoint
the members of the Cabinet, the
Judges of the Supreme and Circuit
Courts, the Auditor General and all
Diplomatic and Consular representa-
tiyes TO foreign countries; and until
the end of the first session OF the
Senate the dppoiHteeS Of the PTeSt-
dent shat act.
Section -. In case vacancy IN any
such office shall occur tchite the Sen
ate as not IN session, the President
may fill such vacancy by granting a
commission, which shall, unless con-
firmed, expire at the end OF the next
session of the Senate.
The foregoing citations put the
reader, so far as We are aware, In
possession of everything IN the
Constitution having direct bear
ing upon the question at issue.
We believe they show clearly
enough that while the Constitution
gives the Senate a share in the ap-
pointing power, it does not vest any
share in that power in the Coun-
ellis.
The case under discussion seems

WARS NEW TERRORS.
Devices for Slaughter That Are Be-
yond Imagination's Grasp.

Indications are that when two
European armies eventually meet on
the field, II the war talk ever resolves
itself into actual conflict, a good
many men will faint away IN terror
of their adversaries. The 'inVen-
tions" which have been brought out
lately in France, Germany and
Austria, and which have been pur-
chased by the governments OF those
countries, are innumerable, and
every one of them is designed to
slaughter human life at rate that
appalls the imagination. The most
intense and theatric secrecy is main
tanned concerning all these inven-
tons, and only a few general facts
regarding them have been made
public. The German army, it is
understood, is armed with rifles
which will send a bullet through
four men, standing one behind the
other. at a distance OF two and half
miles from the rifle. Austria has a
machine gun which shoots several
thousand bullets a minute, which Is
operated by steam and controlled by
single gentleman with waxed
mustache and monocle in his left
eye, who lightly turns the crank.
At least this is the condition Of
things according to the latest illus
trated journals at hand. The man
with the eyeglass can turn the crank
fast enough to sweep thirty or forty
thousand men into eternity during
the luncheon hour.
Incidentally. a German tailor has
invented q coat that makes the wear
er absolutely Indifferent to bullets at
any range, and the Italians have
machines for throwing very small
and almost invisible torpedoes a dis
tauce of nearly q quarter Of mile.
The torpedoes describe parabOla in
the air. drop into the camp Of the
enemy, and explode with force
enough TO kill q hundred or more
soldiers, If they happen to be In the
vicinity. Great numbers of them
can be thrown at time, and pleas
ing and cheerful feature Of it is that
there are no disagreeable Odors nor
any smoke whatever when the ex-
plosion occurs.
NJ. Turpin Of France Is the latest
hero in this direction. He has in
vented something which IS so al
together awful that the taxpayers
have requested the government to
give NJ Turpin q great amount of
money so that he will not turn the
machine over to the Germans. This
machine Is operated by electricity.
and. according 10 its inventor, it Is of
so terrible "a nature that 1t viii do
gwav with all Notifications through
out the civilized world. This is
merely a detail IF the execution this
machine IS expected to accomplish.
Forts will be Of no use, because vi.
Turpin's machines would rend them
al into atoms, aud 1t d distance OF
several miles man can NOW down
the enemy a. the rate of 10000 at an
gagement.-New York Sun.

THE registration for Honolulu
alone has already reached over
$50. This is certainly not dis
couraging showing when we con-
slider that there have been, "a yet,
no nominations, that the election
day has not been set, and that
none Of the political organizations
have begun any canvass to induce
voters to register. As soon as the
campaign begins in earnest, voters
will begin to pour in at the Judi

The Flag First Planted in Alaska.

The recurrence of alag day. last week
brought to mind to Joseph /. Keefer the
planting of the American flag on Alaskan
soil. Mr.. Keefer accompanied the Sew
ard State Department expedition to Alas
ka in 1867, as Aide-de- Camp to Captain
7. E. Ketchum. The flag that was un-
furled as Alaska was officially taken pos
session of was the first ever planted in
Russian American. Supposing this bit
of historical bunting to have been lost
sight Of during the intervening years,
Mr.. Keefer, who is the last survivor of
the expedition, instituted search last
week to ascertain its fate, if possible.
Greatly to his satisfaction the flag was
found in box behind the Constitution
of the United States in the State Depart
ment Building. The flag is not on ex-
hibition, which probably accounts for the
fact that it had passed out of the memory
of all but the man who was on the spot
when it's unfolding colors proclaimed
the presence and domination of Uncle
Sam in that far-away region.-Washing-
