VANDORI,
Chief Figi Islands,
Died
II June, 1912.

The chief died in the hospital after a
lingering illness. The story of his life in
this country is not very definite. 1t is, in
brief, that he came here in the United
States steamship Vengeance to negotiate
a treaty, and was not able to Withstand
the effects Of cold climate. 1t has been
said that he was a cannibal, and that as
he could not become accustomed to our
food he starved to death. 1t Is known
that the nurses were almost unable to
provide food that he could eat, and that
they found nothing to take the place Of
the poi of his islands.
John Brown and John Powell were old
friends and shipmates, and were In the
hospital together at the time Of the re-
bellion. When Powell died Brown took
his savings and ordered large slate slab,
with this inscription:

A petition from forty-two Chinese
tailors asking that no license be placed
on their trade, was introduced by Sen
ator Brown.
The Printing Committee reported
copies of Senator Hocking's bill for re-
vision of the patent laws.
The committee having, Section of
the Registration Act under considera-
ton reported in favor of the original
section requiring registration in three
months after arrival in The country.
nhe report was tabled, to be considered
', ith the bill.
Senator McCandless stated that the
Special Tax Committee would be ready
to report on Tuesday.
Senator Browns bill for regulating
Chinese immigration passed the third
reading; also the bill relating to the
Hilo Library, and the bill fixing the
size of the national ensign.
Under suspension of the rules, Sena-
tor Lyman presented the following res
olution:
Resolved, That the Senate disap-
prove the recent action of certain per-
sons on the island of Hawaii, in pass
ing resolutions and sending commit
tee to protest against the nonappropri-
alton by the Executive and Legislature
of large sums for new improvements on
the island of Hawaii.
That said action was wholly unneces-
sary, as the matter of said appropria-
tions is under consideration by the EX7
ecutive, pending action by the Legisla-
ture.
That said action by the committee is
an interference in the prerOgatives OF
the Executive and of the Legislature.
That all Government officials and en-
ployes engaged in such a demonstration
are open to censure, and a repetition
of such acts would require their prompt
dismissal from office.
This resolution was supported by
Senators Brown. Wright and Lyman, it
being claimed that men in the Govern
ment employ were not called upon TO
take time serving on such commit
tees; and Furthermore that the people
of Hawaii had no cause for grievance,
as the matters referred to were now
being considered by the Legislature.
Senator McCandless did not believe in
in censuring the people of Hilo or Ha-
waii for presenting a petition, although
their methods might have been bad in
form.
The resolution was finally adopted,
Senators McCandless, Hooking and Nor
thrup voting in the negative.
The Registration Act passed the sec
Ond reading, with the House amend
ment requiring registration immedi-
ately upon landing accepted. The third
reading was set for Tuesday.
The House bill relating TO the width
of certain Honolulu streets was refer
red to the Committee on Public Lands

According to an article in the San
Francisco Chronicle of yesterday, the
Miners Association has suddenly awak-
ened to the realization of the magnitude
of the water right scheme of Richard
Thomas in connection with the proposed
dam at Deguire Point, on the Yuba
River. The association has discovered
that there is bug in the water right
claim of Thomas and his associates,
and telegram has been sent on to
Washington sounding the note of alarm.
But has the Miners Association been
asleep all this time? The Record
Union" about the time of the proposed
passage of the code amendment under
which the alleged water right could be
taken, warned the public that there was
danger in it. Later it pointed out tha:
the law was being juggled with, and
still later it exposed the whole scheme.
But the Miners Association appears to
have but just rubbed it's eyes open to
what everybody else, apparently, knew

THE STORY OF A MINING FRAUD.

When Senators White and Perkins

a state of fact which did not exist. and
made that certificate without anv
knowledge whatever of the subject. one
r. L. Dunn, so-called mining engineer
of Auburn, interposed his personality
in defense of the statements made bv

instances where the Central Pacific
Railroad Company had sought to obtain
title to mineral lands. Equally with
Senators White and Perkins, he failed
to cite an instance where the Central
Pacific Railroad Company had obtained

If the news is verify that John Hays
Hammond has been condemned to
death, the question for Americans to
consider, in the exercise of their sympa-
thies, is this: What would we do under
like circumstances? Suppose an adven-
turing alien came into our country and
stirred up revolt, plotted for the over
throw of the Government, under the
plea of promoting reforms; extended the
helping hand to and invited the march
Of body of armed invaders and orga-
niZed an association that armed itself,

laws ecognize-suppose such fellow.
after the repulse of the invaders and the
breaking up of his armed association of
reform" had been taken into custody
charged with high crimes, pleaded
guilty of treason" but in mitigation of
punishment had set out that he did not
intend any harm, he only wanted TO re-
form things, wished only to broaden the
rights of aliens, and that he had. in fact,
after finding that the Government
would resist, sent word to the invading
armed body to retreat and avoid entry.
What would we do? Placed as are the
Beers, harassed as they have been. we
doubt not we would do as they have
done-sentence the man to suffer the
death penalty. If any sympathetic plea
is to be now made for Hammond, 1t
must take the attitude of a plea for

A COMMON-SENSE VIEW.

The Legislature made a conditional
appropriation of $25O,OOO, to be used
jointly with similar appropriation
from the national treasury, to build a
dam at Deguire Point in the Yuha
River, some twelve miles from Marys-
vile. The dam was originally intended
to facilitate the retention of hydraulic
mining detritus, but the Anti-Debris
Association got hold of the matter, sent
a representative to Washington, and the
present phase of the situation is that the
dam is to be used merely to retain the
detritus already In the stream, and is
not to be reinforced by other hydraulic
detritus behind it. From a mining
proposition 1t has become a valley
proposition. If it is satisfactory to the
miners and the valley it is wholly sat
isfactory to US; but there is phase of
this question which deserves considera-
ton.
Public money is to be used for the
construction Of this dam, and it is
claimed that 1t Will develop a water
power, or a power which by electrical
transmission would furnish a very val
liable economic power at Marysville and
in the surrounding country. 1t is claimed
by some that the water power to be Gre
ated is worth a million dollars. The
question then arises, Who should own
that power? If the dam Is to be con-
structed by the money Of the United
States and the State of California. and
is worth million Of dollars, the million
itself is So0O,OO0 in excess of the cost of
the proposed construction. Should pub
lie funds be used for the purpose of Gre
ating a proprietary property in the
water power? We think not, and who
ever is found advocating this absurd
proposition will deserve public con-
demnation. whoever they may be.
There is a simple straightforwardness
In matters of this kind which tests the
honesty or the dishonesty Of men. If
the water power is to have a value,
whether it is $4,000 or a million, that
value belongs to the people who con-
struct IL, and not to private individuals.
The bill should, therefore, be so amend
ed that the economic power created by
the construction of the dam shall be
sold In communication of the cost Of that
construction Is there any man able to
gainsay the common sense and reason
ableness Of this proposition? If there
Is, we will freely accord him a hearing
in the columns Of the Record Union. -
We venture this prediction that If the
dam at Deguire Point is constructed IT
will fill up with the first big flood which
sweeps down the Yuba River It is to
be a dam for about one season. This
may be objected to as merely prophesy.
but 1t is prophesy that will have but
one season to wait for its fulfllment
