HAWAIIAN COMMISSION
UNITED STATES SENATE AND
HOUSE REPRESENTED
Senator Morgan Says the Commission
Hopes to Finish Its Work in Two
Months After Arrival.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-In accor-
dance with the Hawaiian annexation
resolution, which has become a law,
President Mckinley has selected the
five commissioners who are to recon-
mend to Congress such legislation as
they regard necessary and proper for
the government of the new possession
of the United States. He has selected
Senators Shelby NJ. Cullom of Illinois
and John +. Morgan of Alabama and
Representative Hit of Illinois and
President Sanford b. Dole and Justice
Frear of Hawaii. The resolution pro-
vides that at least two of the five COM
missoners shall be residents of the
Hawaiian Islands, and in accordance
with that requirement, President Dole
and Justice Frear had been chosen.
Senator Cushman X. Davis, chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Re
| lations, was offered the first place on
| the commission. but was compelled
| for reasons of his own to decline. The
present then rendered the position to
Senator Cullom, who accepted, after
half an hours consideration.
Senator Cullom has for many years
| Foreign Relations, and is regarded as
a man of unusually good judgment.
Senator Morgan is as intimately ac-
| quainted with conditions in Hawaii,
and what will be required in the way
of legislation for those islands as any
man in public life.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois is trained law
yer and diplomat, and will be of great
service in performing the work laid
out for the commission.
President Dole and Justice Frear,
with their intimate knowledge of the
country and its needs will be valu-
| able members of the commission.
At a meeting of the Congressional
commission Senator Cullom was cleo
ted chairman and a discussion had as
to the form of government which
shall be given the Islands.
The prevailing view among the
| Presidents counselors and the com
missioners as well, is that the organ.
! ic law shall build on the lines of that
under which existing United States
territories exist. It is regarded as
| just and also as desirable that Hawai-
should have a delegate in Congress
and that there should be limited ell
ective franchise provided. The com
missioners will examine the present
constitution and code of laws, anc
! wherever the latter do not conflict
with the laws of this country they
will be permitted to stand.
The. land laws of Hawaii relative tC
government control differ somewhat
from those of the United States. 81

NOT HALE THE TRUTH.


Half the truth is not told in this
bulletin, for it is learned from
source which cannot he doubted that
100 cases of this dreaded nalady are
now under treatment. Preparations
are now under way 10 prevent the
spread of the disease. All patients
have been isolated, and orders to pre-
vent the refugees from coming in
contact with the troops have been
issued. Already immune physicians
and nurses have been sent to Sboney,
and DR.. George w. Nair left for New
Orleans to recruit additional physi-
clans and nurses who will be sent to
Cuba with all possible haste.
DISEASE COMMUNICATED
That the disease existed at Santia-
go though never officially admitted,
was known here through pri-
vate letters from officers at the front,
and the exodus from the city to the
vicinity of Skaters camp of $1,000
| inhabitants, presumably for the most
part destitute and in a filthy condi-
ton, would afford ample opportunity
for the communication of the disease
to the American troops.

The Greenville. Democrat in
speaking of Capt. Burketts exit
from the Popullte stage, says:
"Capt. Frank Burkett, the Popu-
list leader OF the state, shifted the
breezes of the early dissolution of
the party-he had evidently heard
of what was on the cards in Ala
bams. That 10000 majority for
the Democrats over the Populists
in Alabama means surely that Pop
ulism Is dying. is practically dead.
This result, however, is the natu.
raj consequence of the evolution of
political parties; the Republican
party having drifted from the peos
pie into the camp of the money
changers, while the Democratic
party, having taken up the fight OF
the masses, there is no room for a
third party. The Populists and
National Democrats have no reason
for existence and must soon be
assimilated by either the regular
Democratic or regular Republican
parties"

An exchange SAYS.

An exchange says. cit doesn't
seem quite safe to trust the chap
lains during the crash of conflict.
They are apt to forget their high
calling. Here is the chaplain of the
Texas who went about among the
gunners just after Cervera's feet
was sighted and told them to re-
member the Maine. And then
there was that chaplain who snatch
ed up the gun of fallen man and
fought like a tiger before Santiago,
coming out of the battle badly
wounded. 1t Is hard to subdue
the old Adam in a loyal Americans
breast, whether that breast be
covered with soldiers blouse or
a parsons coat"
1t strikes US that the chaplains
referred TO in the above exhibited
the very highest traits of their call
ing. When a man is loyal to his
God, he can't help being loyal to
his country. One true Christian is
worth a dozen infidels in a battle,
or anywhere else as for that matter.

the situation and cuss each other to
q finish. Such controversies rarely
result in much good, to anybody,
but in our opinion, the Times has
considerably the best of the argu-
ment. 1t Is a we'll known fact
that bliud tigers flourish in towns
only where the public sentiment
upholds it either by sanction or
silence, and the first step to take
to lid community OF this striped
monster is to arouse the better
sentiment to activity against it, and
when that is accomplished. the
