some NICE LEGAL POINTS
VESSELS FLYING THE HAWAIIAN
FLAG NOT L. 5. SHIPS.
Honolulu, Hilo and Other Ports will
be Considered Foreign Ports Till
:, Congress Acts.

NEW YORK, July ga special to
the sun from Washington says: At
torney General Griggs, at the request
of Secretary Gage, is examining the
law with a view to advising the Treas
ury Department whether or not. un-
der the Newlands resolution, annex
ing Hawaii to the United States, YES
sells sailing under the flag of that
Republic are entitled, without addi-
tlonal legislation, to fly the flag of
the United States and receive Ameri-
can registers, and also whether or not
commerce between the Islands and
the United States is coastwise traffic,
to be engaged in only by vessels un-
der our flag.
Legislative presidents answer the
hrst question in the negative. After
the purchase of Louisiana in 1903.
Congress provided By enactment for
the issue of American registers to YES
sells owned by citizens of the newly
acquired territory, and i'm 1865. the
year after the purchase of Alaska. n
law was passed, authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to grant regis
ters TO vessels owned by citizens of
the new country
Upon the question of traffic between
Hawaii and the United States there is
a decision by the Supreme Court to
the effect that where a country came
under the jurisdiction of the United
States by purchase, the ports there
of remained foreign ports until they
were declared to he domestic by act
of Congress.
Although Hawaii did not come in
by purchase. it is believed by the
Treasury officials that the attorney
general will hold that the ports of
the Islands at present. at least. are
foreign ports, and that commerce be-
tween them and the United States is
open to the vessels of all nations.

duct matters there as to give no lust
cause of offense or anxiety to other
nations, having in view always the
rights and duties of this government
