NEW REGULATIONS.
British High Commissioner Makes
Changes for solomon Islands.

British High Commissioner Makes
Changes for solomon Islands.
The Samoa Herald is authority for
the statement that a series of Queen S
regulations have been issued by the
High Commissioner for the Western
Pacific, with view to controlling the
trade of the Solomon Group and max
ing provision for its government. The
objects of the regulations referred to
are % TO restrict the alienation OF
and in the Solomon Islands, (2) to
prohibit the supply of intoxicating
liquors to natives 80 to protect ma
tives entering into contracts with non
natives, (D TO prevent the introduc-
ton of contagious disease into the Isl
and, 90 to erstrict the sale and use OF
firearms and explosives to natives, CO.
to provide for the raising of local
revenue in the Solomon Islands
The last mentioned regulation pro-
vides that for every ship or vessel trad
ing within the British Solomon Island
Protectorate the owner shall pay an
annual license fee of one pound fol-
every ton of tonnage measurement
provided that the amount shall not
exceed f100, or half yearly license
fee of Us. per ton, provided the amount
to be paid shall not exceed ECO. The
other methods of raising revenue are
by means of capitation tax of f5 g
year, to be paid by all non-native resi-.
dents, and an annual or half yearly
license for all trading stations.

now signed by plenipotentiaries OF the
United States and the Hawaiian Repub-
lie. leaves TO the Congress OF the United
States the determination of all questions
affecting the form of government of the
annexed territory, the citizenship and
elective franchise of its inhabitants and
the manner in which laws OF the United
States are TO be extended 10 the Islands.
I'm order that this independence OF the
Congress shall be complete and unques-
tionable and pursuant to the recognized
doctrine of public law that treaties eN-
pire with the independent life of the con-
tracing State, there has been intro
duced out of abundant caution an eN-
press proviso for the determination of all
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
government for newly incorporated ter
ritory, ii was necessary TO stipulate, as
in the Dominican precedent for continu-
ing the existing machinery until provi-
sion shall be made by law for the govern
ment. as territory of the United States,
of the dominion thus Incorporated into
the Union, but having in view the pecu-
liar status created in Hawaii by laws
enacted in execution of the treaties here
tofore concluded between Hawaii and
other countries, only such Hawaiian laws
are thus Professionally continued as shall
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 laborers 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 behooyes 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
