now signed by pIenipotentiaries OF the
United States and the Hawaiian Repup,,
lie leaves TO the Congress of the United
States the determination of all questions
affecting the form of government or the
annexed territory, the citizenship and
elective franchise of it's inhabitants ana
the manner in which laws Of the United
States are to be extended to the Islands.
I'm order that this independence Of the
Congress shall be complete aud unques-
tionabIe and pursuant to the recognized
doctrine of public law that treaties ex-
pire with the independent life of the con-
tracting State, there has been intro
duced out of abundant caution an ex,
press prOyiSO for the determination or al!
treaties heretofore concluded by Hawaii
with foreign nations and the extension
to the Islands of the treaties of the
United States. This leaves Congress free
to deal with such especial regulation OF
the contract labor system of the Islands
as circumstances may require.
There being no general provision OF
existing statutes TO prescribe the form of
government for newly Incorporated ter
ritory, it was necessary TO stipulate. as
in the Dominican precedent for contlnu-
ing the existing machinery until proVi-
sion shall be made by law for the govern
ment. as territory of the United States,

not be incompatible with the Constitution
or the laws of the United States or with
the provisions of this treaty.
1T Will be noticed that express stipu-
lation is made prohibiting the coming of
Chinese Iaborers from the Hawaiian ISL
ands to any part of our national terri
tory This provision was proper and nee
essary in view of the Chinese exclusion
acts. and IL behooves the negotiators to
see that this treaty, which in turn is TO
become in due constitutional course, a
supreme law of the land, shall not alter

LETTER FROM J.W. ALTIZER
Biilg's Log Book OF Travels Up and Down
the Earth
Concluded.

(COuCluded.l
Saturday morning we started for
Webster City. We had now reached
the prairie lands Of Iowa-aat as
billiard table, wet ground and marsh
land in abundance As far a the eve
could reach nothing could be per-
eeived but a vast field of ground dot
ted here and there with numerous
farm houses. here and there a village,
the spires OF whose churches would
rise up like sentinels in the distance.
and yet the ground seemed to stretch
out into the broad eXpanse until it
was touched by the heavens in the
distance. Now for the roads, They
are simply damdable. The soil being
deep black loan, the mud has piled
up in the shape Of an old woman's
washboard, only on larger scale, and
navigation is almost impossible. We
found very few places where we could
drive the horse out of walk. and it
was little past noon when we pulled
into Williams over some OF the worst
roads that the sun ever shone upon.
Now am not much OF a good roads
agitator. but as it is impossible to
macadamize these roads | would like
to make a simple suggestion. prob
ably Mr.. Johnson will agree with me-
have noticed that wherever a wagon
with four inch tire had passed it
had the tendency to do great deal Of
good toward smoothing the roads
Now, | would like to suggest that the
citizens here in Iowa have a funeral
every day (of some sortor otheD and
that all the relatives and friends be
compelled to follow the remains and
to use wide-tired wagons in 50 doing.
l think if they would follow this plan
that they would very soon have the
roads in good shape.
From Williams to Webster City the
roads did not improve very much and
it was after o'clock when we reached
the city. Here we met Harry Knapp.
who has good position here. He is
a son Of Jasper Knapp OF Lancaster.
We enjoyed the hospitality Of Mr..
Knapp and his charming wife while in
the city Harry is very entertain
ing young man and took great pains
and pleasure in showing us.about the
entire city. and should we ever meet
him in a strange place we may then
have the pleasure to reciprocate his
kindness. While here | also had the
pleasure OF meeting a number Of the
charming young ladies OF the west.
where the high winds and gentle
zyphers OF the western prairies had
famed health and beauty to their
cheeks, aud in their society"I spent a

ID. u L. X. Land Grant.

There seems to be some question as
to the constitutionality and general
validity of the act of the recent legis-
lature by which the land grant of the
Duluth & Iron Range Railroad COM
pany was declared forfeited, and that
company is taking steps to test the
new law. In speaking of the matter
editorially the st. Paul Dispatch says:
at is as well that this question be
settled at once, and the public will be
pleased learn that this step has been
taken We have heretofore expressed
the opinion that the act of the legis-
lature is without force or effect, the
supreme court having specifically de-
clared that the road having earned
its grant by the completion of the
track and compliance of all the condi-
tions of the grant no forfeiture can
be subsequently declared.
1.-THE commission to press the mat
ter of forfeiture is composed of the
governor, the state auditor and the
attorney general. The last named
will naturally be the attorney for the
commission, and in written opinion
submitted a few months ago he took
the position which we have taken
and held that there was no escape
from the decision of the supreme
court in the case in which this roaC
was the intervenor, and in which the
very point at issue was raised anC
passed upon.
"The addition of a few hundred
thousand acres of public domain i.
something that would be greeted will
cheers and applause by the whole
state, but the states contracts are al
invOilable as those of an individual
the great seal of the State of Mime
sofa is the sign manual and trade
mark of honor and good faith. and, as
previously stated, we are OF the opin
ion that the supreme court was right
when it said that contract executed
in good faith and completed on boil
sides cannot be set aside by the whin

be sent out from our new office just
west of Matthias hall. The building
is not quite as high as the st. Paul
Pioneer Press building by several
stories but will in all probability hold
itself from the onslaught of brave

matter which it will contain. While
the new home is small, it neverthe-
less costs money to build and we
would be pleased to have you call and
leave couple of dollars in payment
of ola or new subscriptions. We will
trade nice new receipt for dollars

thing and those who do not would also
confer by coming in and getting a
chance to owe us. Come and visit

JULY Fourth.
A Celebration for the Little Ones
in Prospect.

Several parties have in view a cele-
bration for the Fourth of July, which
in all probability will meet with
favor. Everyone who has been ap-
preached on the subject is in favor of
the p an proposed. During the past
two years it has been arather difficult
matter for the few who usually have
charge and who are always expected
to get up celebrations to do much of
anything owing to the times. This
year it is proposed togiye the children
a good time. and to make the celebra-
tion practically one for children.
The festivities are booked for the
park at Sandy Point where addresses
will be made by several parties, re-
freshments served and sports INDUCED
in. Manager Pengilly has consented
to give the children the use of his
steam yacht for trips about the lake
and several other liberal minded
citizens have decided to give the
necessary cash to furnish fire works,
refreshments, etc. If the plans dc
not miscarry, the day will be one
galore for the rising generation.

The Mineral Law.

Editor Bowman, of the Rainy Lake
Journal, is highly and rightly ''hot
under the collar" on account of the
opposition developed in Duluth by the
''lumberjacks' as he styles them, to
the plan to put the northern part of
Minnesota under the operation OF the
mineral laws. While it is true that a
goodly amount of the opposition de-
yeloped among the lumbermen, it is
also true that several other people are
opposing the mineral law. In the
last issue of the paper Mr.. Bowman
says: "It is an undeniable fact that
these lumberjacks and their cruisers
know every foot of land in these
northern wilds. They know that
every foot of it at all valuable for it's
timber was taken years ago. They
know the agricultural capabilities of
every quarter section as well. Conse-
quently, if Il filing is presented for a
piece of land within the confines of
the supposed mineral belt. the con
clusion is at once reached by the sell
fish lumberjack that it contains gold,
either quartz or placer, and the
notorious result is that the legitimate
mining man is subjected to contest,
which is nothing less than outrageous
blackmail, and should be actionable
in the United States courts! \
The best interests of all concerned
demand that Congressman Morris and
his colleagues in congress listen not
to the siren song of the lumberjacks,
as they have had their day, have
served their purpose, and should be
relegated to the rear with the Indians
and other relics of the past, but should
give heed to the demands of the min
ing men, who are backed up in this
endeayor by all that is best in Amer
lean citizenship.
1.-THE gold is here, and mining men
want and demand legislation in their
interest that will give them free
hand to seek for it and when found to
have the undisputed right to wrest
it from its hiding place in these new
gold fields. All that they ask is a
fair show, and if that be granted the

Cook County Nickel.

Henry Pfund, engineer for the
Johnson Nickel Mining company has
arrived at Grand Marais to begin
work on some of the company's
property in that vicinity says the
Grand Marais Herald. He brought
with him large amount of mining
utensils, supplies and provisions, and
hired number of men here before
leaving for the scene of operations.
The Johnson Nickel Mining COM
pany is one of the heaviest owners of
mineral lands in Cook county. 1t now
owns several thousand acres of land
and has taken options on nearly as
much more. The lands owned by this
company were not purchased upon
hear-say nor guess-work, but were all
thoroughly explored sby competent
men employed by the company before
being purchased, therefore we may
look for rich developments as soon as
they begin operations.
This company has some nickel lands
in Cook county which they claim pro-
duce the richest nickel ore ever
mined, and they intend to develop the
property as soon as they are through
prospecting land which they intend
to purchase.

where they plead guilty to unlawful
fishing. They were fined $50 and
costs each or sixty days in the county
jail. In default of payment of the
fine they are now languishing in the
county bastile where they were taken
Wednesday. Before the court, both
men pleaded poverty as an excuse for
the act, but the judge was under. the
