many that when the first of August
comes we will find but few people have
registered. The law will become
dead letter and will lose its force. l do
mot think we viii be eating crow by any
means in repeating the law. II we find
that the people for whom the law was
made object TO it. why il is perfectly
right and proper for us TO repeal it,
Under suspension OF rules Minister
Cooper presented the following mes
sage from the President:
To the Legislature of the Republic Of
Hawaii.
I herewith return House bill No. 56
being an Act entitled An Act providing
for the recording of final judgments
and DEGREES affecting titles TO land re-
ceived by me from the Joint Committee
of the Legislature June 6. 1896. for your
Recommendation
The following are my objections to
the bill:
The word affecting in the first line
Of Section l is too indefinite and gen
eral in its meaning for the use to which
il is put. With this word it will some
times be difficult to say exactly what
judgments should and what should not
be recorded
A judgment for a defendant in an
ejectment suit may be said to affect the
title 10 the land in dispute, although
II does not change the status it was in
before suit was brought, inasmuch as
il may remove a cloud on the title, and 4
i
udice may have been caused to the title
OF the suit. a decree of heirship some
times affects the title to land, yet it
may be a question under the statute
whether such decree should or should
not be recorded. So also with decree
appointing an administrator under a
contested application
These are but illustrations repre-
senting a considerable number of cases
in which although the title TO land may
not be the matter in issue, yet it may
be directly or indirectly affected by
the Judgment or decree.
No provision is made for the ex-
pense OF registration. No limit of time
is named within which the party in
terested in the registration of the judg
ment may be safe from being foreStall-
ed by a subsequent purchaser who shall
first procure the registry OF his convey
ance. the words subsequent purchaser
in the Act being evidently intended to
apply TO a purchaser from party in
possession pending litigation.
The provision as il stands would be
an encouragement TO a defeated party
having possession pending litigation to
attempt to neutralize the judgment or
decree. by arranging for third party
ignorant of the proceedings to take
conveyance and Immediately record the
same upon the filing Of the judgment
or decree. thus forestalling the registry
of the Judgment or decree and depriv-
ing the successful party of the benefits
Of the litigation

BIG FIRE IN ST. PAUL
The Ryan Annex and the
Schultz Block Go Up in
Flames - LIZ SIS Between
100000 and $500, 900.

st. Paul, Dec. 20.-Fire started in the
Ryan annex, on Seventh street, be-
tween Robert and Jackson, at PIP
o'clock this morning. and thirty min
utes later it had swept with such rap
idity through the vacant roows that
the total destruction of the block from
Robert street, including the Schultz
block at the corner of Jackson and
Seventh streets, was certaing.
The loss will be between 100000
and 100000.
The fire started in the furniture store
of CardoZo, in the center of the block,
from some unknown cause, and spread
to the adjoining store, known as the
Fair" which burned ra4dly, and
there seemed to go to the upper stories.
The rooms in the four stories were
all vacant and as the window glass
burst from the heat the draft sent the
flames surging through the upper por-
ton of the block
1t was just 3 o'clock when the fire
reached the Schultz block OH the cor
ner of Seventh and Jackson. The fire
seemed to catch on the roof and in
few minutes was working its way
down through the building. The low
er floors of the building is occupied by
the Northern Exchange bank and by
Smith 81 Davidson, saloon. The upper
floor was occupied by Offices.
The heat from the fire broke the plate
glass windows across the street.

DEAD AND Down TIMBER.
Proposition That Indians Be Per

Proposition That Indians Be Per-
mitted to Cut 1t.
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Mel
son and Representative Towne are at
work trying to arrange a plan where
by Indians on the various reservations
can cut dead and down timber. This
work has been done in the past by
special legislation and orders of the
department. but the Minnesota men
think that the policy can be established
in a general law covering all such
eases. Senator Nelson to-day pre-
pared an amendment which Mr.
'Towne will offer in the house when the
Indian appropriation bill comes up.
The plan proposed authorizes the sec
rotary of the interior to make regula-
tions under which the Indians on any
reservation in the country may cut
and remove dead and fallen timber
upon any coded lands in which the
Indians have an interest only in the
proceeds of the sale of the lands. A
provision is also made to guard
against the utilization of this policy
where timber has been killed for the
sole purpose of making it marketable
under the terms of the amendment.

FORESTS ON THE PRARIEs.

Minnesota Farmers Receive FOres.
try BOunties.
ST Paul. Dee. 20.-The state canvass
Dunn will this afternoon send out to
farmers $500 warrants amounting to
nearly $4,000 under the forestry act
IF 1889, intended to encourage the cul-
tivation of groves of timber in the
prairie and frontier counties of Minne-
sofa. Usually bounty of $3.50 an
acre is allowed to those that plant
trees. The tracts are limited to ten
acres for each claimant and bounties
may be drawn for no more than six
years. The total amount Of tie appro-
priation is $4,000, and this year the
individual amounts have been reduced
to 500 an acre to keep within the
amount available. The general average
of each claimant this year is five
acres, or $11.25 In former years Fari-
bault and FreebOrn counties led the
list in numbers of claims planted. But
the period of limitation having run out
in these counties, they have been
dropped, although the operation Of
the law has left the counties dotted
with most beautiful groves. Renville
county heads the list this year with
the greatest number Of acres planted
and receives $4,266.77 in boHnties.
Brown county comes second with 81
acres and 81 .S3S33 in bounties. Sibley
shows up with 727 acres and receives
81 ,656.91. The total acreage reported
for 1896 is S.6S3 5-12 acres and the eX-
act amount of bounties amounts to
SIC ,530.01.

Just ahead of me, OH Grand street,
the other night, and stopping here and
there to look into the shop windows,
was a girl of ten. Her toes peeped out
of her old shoes-her dress was ragged
