Of experts in It's report rejected all but eight

Commission TO select from the eight which

Complaint was made. however. by one OF the
competitors whose design had been thrown

If the four remaining Commissioners The two
chief architectural societies in Philadelphia
promptly adopted resolutions declaring that in
their Judgment architects who should enter the
second competition would be adjudged guilty OF
unprofcssional conduct; while two former con-
pettors from other pa" ITS Of the State entered
the courts to compel the Commission to with
draw its second invitation for Capitol designs.
One OF these appeals Is to be heard within
week ut Harrisburg. and public opinion in the
State IS looking forward with lively interest to
judicial construction of the Commissions
powers duties and responsibilities.
1t has been freely cOntendcd In many repre-
sentative Pennsylvania newspapers that the
Commissions motives in setting aside the find
ings Of the committee Of experts were largely
personal and political, and that the reopening
of the competition was not Intended TO contrib
ute very materially 10 the cause Of public NOR

can be sustained Is quite beside the question

the action Of the Commission may be admitted

as an unmstakabe relapse from those credita-

The announcement comes from North Caro-
lima that the authorities OF that State are nego-
tiating with a syndicate OF Northern speculat tors
for the leasing at a fixed rental OF the services
OF the convicts now confined In the State Penl-
Tertiary employed on the Ave penal farms
which North Carolina owns. II is to be hoped
that the negotiations will fail to reach a sue
cessful end. Even Georgia. where the leased
convict system has prevailed for many years. is
now preparing to escape Its multiplied scandals
and horrors by absolutely abandoning 1t. North
Carolina Is too progressive and intelligent a
State to allow its civilization to be shamed by a
resort to this discredited penal policy.

A Correspondents Summary

ton in Hawaii from all sides. l have
sought out the leading men of both
parties, aud have obtained from
many Of them an apparently frank
expression of their opinions con-
corning annexation and the outlook
OF the Hawaiian Islands. Among
the gentlemen whom have inter
viewed are President Dole, Finance
Minister Damon, Secretary of State
Cooper, Mr.. p. G. Jones and Messrs.
Anterior, Alexander and Fisher, all
of whom favor annexation; and
Messrs. Carter and Macfarlane, who
are opposed to it.
Summing up the arguments, End
that the opponents of annexation
hold that the interests Of both the
United States and Hawaii will suffer
ii annexation be accomplished. The
claims made against the scheme are:
First-The natives will be bound
hand and foot politically, and will
have no voice whatever in the
government.
Second-The prosperity of the
islands will be doomed, because
contract labor" will not be available
under the laws Of the United States:
and, they said, the sugar plantations
cannot be profitably worked by free
labor.
Third-As the islands, after an
nexatiop, will be governed as terri
tory, and as the territorial govern
ment of the United States have often
been incompetent, corrupt and I'M
just, it is practically certain, they
believe, that Hawaii will be plum
dered and harassed by Adventures,
is it shcu Id be annexed.
Finally, the anti-annexation lead
ers profess to have great deal of
confidence in their belief that the
native Hawaiian will never submit
to the extinction OF his national
existence. They say the native is
now quiet and Indifferent merely
because he fully expects to see the
monarchy restored in a short time.
| was unable to obtain from any
one an opinion concerning the pro-
bable or possible action of the native
if he should learn that annexation
was an accomplished fact, and his
dream Of restored monarchy for
ever shattered.
WHAT ANNEXATIoNIsTs ASSERT,
On behalf of the annexationists
these claims are stoutly made:-
First-Hawaii, under stable gov
eminent, would be more prosperous,
and her people would be more cou-
tended than at any previous time in
her existence.
Secoud-The United States would
participate in the commercial pres
perty OF the islands and would
secure naval station of inestimable
value, strategically considered.
Third-The manifest destiny" of
the Hawaiian Islands leads them
into the great republic of North
America.
The manifest destiny" theory is
one not open to proof, but it is pro-
badly as good in it's way as is the
claim on the other side that the
native will never submit to an
nexation.
When one considers the inn
portance given in the United States
to the attitude OF Japan toward
Hawaii it is somewhat surprising to
observe the indifference shown there
to by the citizens OF Honolulu. Un-
doubtedly the immigration question
presents serious difficulties to the Ha,
waiian government, and eventually
it may embarrass the United States;
but it has not yet come near enough
to Honolulu to create even a ripple
OF popular interest, When l ask a
man here whether he doesn't fear
that Japan may send sufficient
