AFTERNOON SESSION.

Rep. Richards. explained that the
chief clerk of the Interior Department
had called his attention to certain
errors in Act "a appropriating ex-
penses of special session of Legis-
lature. The Hawaiian version does
not contain the proper number, and
says shall go into effect from and
after its approval; while the English
version says from and after its pas
sage.
Rep. Kamauoha said the bill had
passed both Houses and been signed
by the president. He didn't think the
House could recall the bill.
Rep. Richards did not understand
that any bill could go beyond the
jurisdiction of the House. He would
move that the clerk attend to the cor
rection.
Act No. 10, the Alcohol Bill, was
taken up on third reading. Sections
l, 2, 8, 4 passed as in the bill. Rep.
Bond moved as an amendment to
Section new section, as follows:
"The CollectOr-General of Customs
is hereby authorized to permit the
holders of licenses herein provided to
withdraw alcohol (Of the strength of 80
per cent. proof, as determined by
Tralle's hydrometer) from the Custom
House upon the pay ymenC OF ~ per
gallon duty on alcohol withdrawn to
be used for medical purposes, and SO so
per gallon duty on alcohol withdrawn
TO be used for other purposes, and all
exceeding 80 per cent. shall pay
alcoholic duty in proportion to its
Before allowing such alco-
hOl to be withdrawn from the Custom
House the Collector General shall re-
quire the licensee to subscribe on oath
to statement setting forth the pur-
poses for which such alcohol is with
drawn"
Rep KamauOha wanted to know
where the proposed section came from.
The committee had given careful at
tention to the bill, and it had passed
second reading. Now comes a member
of the same cOmmitte to change the
clause. He moved section pass as in
the bill.
Rep. Bond, in defense of the amend
menty said the section as in the bill
did not suit the Minister Of Finance;
he did not think the duty high enough,
and accordingly the amendment was

WHERE WOOL GROWERS ARE
HAPPY.

There are good times in Australia, says
the Economist. Wool growing is the
staple farm product there. 1t is, in fact,
the mainstay of the colonies. A good
demand for wool and an advancing
market naturally make the Australians
feel happy. The largest wooden hopse
in Melbourne, in its report of September
16, 1895, had this to say
A fair total has changed hands at ris-
ing prices, and there is every indication
that the demand at the sales will be
particularly keen. The noticeable ex-
pansion of trade of the past few months
has led to very large absorption
of the stocks existing at the beginning of
the year, and in this respect the position
of the market is regarded most favor
ably. A very promising outlook is pre-
sented for the forthcoming season, of
which we shall hold the opening sale on
the 18th prox., and a substantial inn
provement on the values of its prede-
cessor is assured. The position as re-
CARDS the local market recalls that of
1889, and appears likely, as then, to se-
cure a large addition to the total dis
posed of in the sales.
This is very cheering news to Ameri-
can wool growers. Free wool in the
United States enriches the Australian
farmer. But it ruins the American.

THE roRRENs SYSTEM.

At the recent election Cook county,
Illinois, adopted the Torrens system of
registration of land titles, under an act
of the last state legislature authorizing
counties to make such a change. This
system was originated in Australia:
where it has been in practical operation
for many years; and it has also been
adopted, with certain notifications
caused by local conditions, in England
and Prussia. It is designed to simplify
convevances of real estate, to reduce lit
igation over land titles, and to subeti-
tute security for insecurity in the own
ership of such property. The Illinois
law is a little more complicated than
that of Australia, but practically like 1t
in all essential particulars. Provision
is made for registrar who shall keep
record of all land titles in the county,
and make transfers thereof on his books,
giving certificates to the owners, which
will be as readily convertible as regis
tered bond. the grantor is required to
execute deed as heretofore-which is
not the case in Prussia, for instance,
Wn0E6 Ln0 OuSOA dlAO COlA$A NR
pear before the register and make the
change of ownership without any writ
ing between them, simply by word OF
mouth-but the deed counts only as an
incident; it is the record of the trans
ference of title.
Under this method, the books OF the
register show at glance in whom the
title to the given tract OF land is vested
and to what membranes and charges
it is subject. Each certificate issued to
a purchaser becomes q new title, and
there in no need to look behind it fol
possible defects. At the end of five
years after the first certificate is issued
the statue of limitations shuts out al
adverse claimants, and the tiJle is held
to be perfect. In case of transmission
0y will or descent. the title goes not di-
rectly to the heirs, but to the executor
or administrator, the same as personal
ty; and proof of heirship Is made before
the court, which orders the title to b'
transferred accordingly, on the surrende
and cancellation of the outstanding Ger
tificate. The advantages of such a system
are manifest, and the only objection tt
be urged against it is that of precedent
or prejudice in favor of the present cum
bersome, expensive and more or less un
certain methods of conveyance. 1t vii
take some time for the people of Illinoi
to become accustomed to it and willin
to extend its operation throughout tn
various counties; but it is such a decid
inpropment in every respect that ther
can be no doubt about its ultimate az
ceptance by the whole State. The sam
reasons recommend it for adoption
other States, at least so far as its gener;
features of simplicity and security al
concerned, and they should not delay
change which is so clearly in the il
terest of the owners of all kinds OF re
estate.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

When the DIR. Shores Medical Com
pany was in The DAlles it took the town
by storm. For two weeks they gave ex-
hibitions in the opera house and sold
medicine by the barrel full. At that
time THE CHRONICLE told some truths
about the combination which came very
unpleasantly to the ears of the members.
When the Shores Company had drained
the town they went to Oregon City,
where they met with very different re-
ception. Instead of finding only one
newspaper in opposition to them, they
soon had an encounter with the officers
of the law. DR.. CARL, one of the mem
bers of the state medical board, had
Fretwell, the manager arrested and the
case is now under consideration. The
following kilograms, taken from the In
dependent of Oregon City, are self ex-
planatory, when it is known that ''Dr. p"
Fretwell, of the Shores Medicine Co.
claimed that he had fought and defeated
the Montana medical law in Missoula
this fall:
OREGON CITY, Nov. 10, '95.
To Hanson, Missoula, Mont. Did one
Fretwell fight and defeat Montana med
ical law in your city this fall? Answer
DR.. CARLL.
MIssoULA, Mont, Nov. 10, '95.
DIR. w. E. CARL, Oregon City. He
did not. Fretwell is an auctioneer from
Salt Lake, gam bier and quack.
S. Fl. HANSON, NJ. D.
1t seems that the newspaper thai
warned the people of The Dalles about
the untrustworthiness of this medicine
company and the druggist, who refused
to handle their medicines, were abou
right after all.

If the ability of an actor Is to be
gauged by the size of his audience,
then Steve Brodie deserves to rank
among the foremost eXponents of dra-
matte art. He produced ION the Bow
ery' at the Academy of Music last
night with himself as the central figure
and was greeted by one of the largest
audiences of the season. There We're
few vacant seats in the house and
many persons occupied the standing

1t can be said in favor of "On the
Bowery' that 1T is a very faithful rep
resentation of life in that famous part
of New York. The characters are in
the main overdrawn, but they give
some idea Of the people who live and
have their being in and adjacent to the
Broadway of the East Side Of New
York.
In the second act, the scene of which
Is laid at Brodie's saloon on the Bow
cry, the redoubtable Steve is in his
element and handles whiskey bottles
and beer glasses with an ease that was
only Obtainable by long experience be-
hind the bar.

scenery and mechanical effects are in
terestng features of the performance.
