PROPOSED CHANGE IN AN AMER
ICAN LEAGUE RULE.
Amendment offered to Make the So
Principles to be Unchanged.

The American League held a short
session Tuesday evening. Vice Presi-
dent Larsen in the chair. Installation
of officers was postponed to next Tues
day evening.
The matter of amending the consti-
tuition so as to admit persons of all
nationalities, doing away with the eX-
elusive American character of the
League was brought up. President
Murray moved that Art. OF the con
stitution be eliminated and that new
section, making any person of good
moral character, except Asiatics, elig-
ible to membership by ballot, three to
reject, seven to elect. This motion
will be read at three successive meet
ings.
The section of the constitution to be
eliminated reads as follows:
cart. ". Sec. 1. Any person to be
admitted to membership must be an
American born or naturalized or born
of American parents and having at
tanned the age of eighteen years. The
proof of parentage shall rest with the
applicant.
''Sec. 3. Naturalized citizens must
send in their naturalization papers
with their application, otherwise the
application will not be acted upon"
Other parts of the constitution
where the word American is used will
also be so amended as to conform 10
the new character of the organization
The preamble, requiring fealty to the
Government, support of annexation
etc, will remain undisturbed.

During the week Kona kanaka re-

that fire was seen shooting from old

was seen by Hawaiian who also told

house and by some means obtained q
package of matches. In playing with
them they became ignited and set fire
to her clothing. Her screams brough
assistance and the flames were quickl
eXtinguished. but not until the chil
had been fatally burned. She fingered
about an hour. every effort being
made to save her life, but in vain.
SUNDAY CONCERTS.
Sheriff Hitchcock was interviewed
recently in regard to Sunday concerts
| by Bandmaster Carvalho. of the Hilo
band. In answer to request for per-
mission to give band concerts at Goa
coanut Island on Sunday afternoons,
! Mr.. Hitchcock said that as far as ne
was personally concerned, he would
not object, but that he could not
grant the privilege asked for, as it did
not come within his jurisdiction as
sheriff of the Island of Hawaii He,
however, advised Mr.. Carvalho to write
direct to Mr.. Smith, attorney general,
in regard to the matter. This request
will go down by this trip of the Kinau
and it is confidently expected that
| favorable answer will be received, sub
ject, of course, to the same restrictions
as are imposed in Honolulu. Should
permission he granted a series of Sun
! day afternoon concerts on Coacoanut
Island will be inaugurated in the near
| future.

of proper care upon the part of the clerk. it being bis duty to make out and certify to the correctness of the claims of mem. bers of the board for mileage and per diem, then they must be approved by the Probate Judge before warrants can be drawn upon the treasurer for the amount. In this case no endorsement of the Probate Judge is shown on the bills amounting to 79 20t that include ihe repetition of July 2, but that warrants were drawn on the treasurer and the amounts paid without his approval.
 The quarterly allowance of fifty dollars, which it is charged that no account Is kept of IS made for contingent and inc, dental expenses and is duly accounted for in an itemizsd account, k.pt for that pur pose.
 Referring to the charge that the clerk of the board has received percentage, or commission, on certain stationery furnished the county by Geo D Bsrnard & Go of St. Louis, enclose herewith letter from Barnard & Co. quoting prices much lower than those charged the county. have no means of ascertain ing whether or not any one has received commission on these supplies, but il is very evident that the county has paid from 25 10 75 per cent more for them than is just, and the amount in excess should be recovered.
 Upon the whole find that the affairs of the county have been administered with as great degree of economy and as small expense ss at any time during it's history. For the first time since the passage of the salary bill the recorders office has paid more in fees than the amount of the recorder's salary.
 in conclusion 1 beg to say that in my opinion the Hon. Grand Jury has over looked or ignored a matter of much more vital i'm portauce to the citizens of the county than any of those to which they have directed my attention. re. fer to the Irregularities, if not criminal violation of the election laws as practiced in this county at the last election It is well known that white ballots, in every way exactly like those furnished voters at the polls, were circulated outside the 1 polling places on election day in several precincts. That in one precinct where such ballots were circulated, the stubs were detached before giving them to voters thus entirely and completely ig- noring and nullifying the spirit and le,. ter of the Australian Ballot law.
 would most respectfully suggest that i an investigation of these irregularities will be worthy of the attention of the | next grand jury.

1 have compared the amounts charged in the fee book, as far as my time would allow, with the record books and the records of the treasurer, and the only error have discovered was ot 50 cents in favor of the county. As to whether the recorder makes monthly or qnar' terly report to the Board of Supervisors or not: The only report am able to find on file is the duplicate receipt of the treasurer.
 With reference 10 the specific charge that the recorder has failed 10 turn in 10 the treasurer lees collected tor abstracting I find that prior to March, 1895, all such fees were turned in to the treasurer, but since that time all such fees have been collected by Miss Florence Cowan, who has made the abstracts, and that such fees 80 collected by her have been re- tanned, while the fees for certifying 10 the correctness of such abstracts has been turned in, there is no record of the amour. of fees collected for abstracting, but find the amount turned in for cer. tificates to be correct as far as it is pos sible to ascertain.

 have given this offi,e large share of my time; have investigated all hills al lowed and many other matters that have come under or been brought to my at. iention, and beg to say in this connec- ton. that while irregularities have crept in to their business in some instances, and there are instances of failure to ad here strictly to the letter the law and to strict business principle in dealing with county affairs, and an appearance of carelessness upon the part of the clerk in handling some of it's business, yet the general tendency seems to have been to wards an economical administration of the afr airs of the county, and fad noth ing that in my opinion could reasonably be charged to criminal intent. I find several bills that have been allowed that are not sworn to, some that are not signed, and others not itemized, while one is neither sworn to, itemized nor dated. Bills of William Koshland for supplies regularly furnished indigent sick, persons at the county's expense, are in no instance itemized or sworn to. The bill of the W H. Taggart Mercantile Go for supplies furnished certain indigent persons in Kingman are also not itemized One bill of the Kingman Mercantile Com pany is not signed or acknowledged Other instances oi like nature are of not infrequent occurrence. These irregu larities, while not fatal to the welfare of the county, might very easily be avoided by a little care and more strict adher. ence to business principles and the re- quirements of the statutes. With refer. ence to the charge that the members of the board drew their per diem twice for the date July 2, find that charge to be true, but that the amount was promptly refunded when their attention was called to it. This error was also due to lack
