HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.
Members Held . Conference al
Washingtons Yesterday. !.

~ tOn% AeSCGT0aY.
WASHINGTON, July s1.-The Amer
lean members of the commission APP
pointed by the President under the Ha-
waifan Annexation Act were in confer
ence at the Capitol to-day
Senator Cuiloln was chosen Chair
man ana other rofaciafs were chosen.
Mr.. Blunaenthal Of the official reporters
staff was appointed reporter of the COM
mission. 1t was decided that the en-
tire clerical force should be composed
of employees of the Senate, so as not
to add unnecessarily to the salary roll
of the commission. 1t was impossible
to fix a definite time of departure, but
August 1st was decided upon as the
approximate date for sailing from San
Francisco.
1t is expected that about two months
will be spent in Hawaii and the COM
mission hopes to have its recommended
tions prepared by the opening of the
next session of Congress.
There was some discussion at to-
days meeting of plans for the work
ahead, but this was necessarily in
formal. SO far as opinion was ex
pressed, it was favorable to the adop-
ton of the existing Hawaiian statutes.
senator morgan gave the OIner MEM
bers of the commission much informa-
tion concerning these laws, speaking
of the legal system under the present
Government as one excellently adapted
to local conditions. Among the ques-
tions with which the commission will
have to deal are the public lands, the
elective franchise and the fortifica-
tions. The members generally express
the opinion that means would be taken
to protect the islands against all posi-
BILE foes by erecting fortifications and
maintaining a force for any probable
emergency. The public land laws of
the island are quite complicated, and
the chief end in view when they were
formulated was that of inducing white
immigration. The probabilities are that
they win be retained under the new
system, in the main.
The Presidents intention Of contin-
uing President Dole as the Governor
of the new Territory was discussed at
the meeting as a matter decided upon,
and was spoken Of most approvingly.
The Commissioners favor a full Ter
ritorial form of government with a
Delegate in Congress and with local
Legislature, but they necessarily will
postpone the consideration of all mat
ters of detail until they reach Honolulu
and have an opportunity to confer with
Messrs. Dole and F'rear. the Hawaiian
members of the commission.

TREATMENT OF HOLLAND.

The treatment Of Holland, the in
ventor OF the submarine boat Plunger,
commonly called by its designers
name, is hard to explain, until it is
recalled that precisely the same treat
ment was meted out to Ericsson.
In 1861 the great engineer whose
the Union cause in its most desperate
peril, completed a submarine vessel
which he named the Destroyer. He
exhausted his private means in the
construction of this vessel, relying
upon Congress to take it off his
hands at a fair price. There is no
doubt the invention was a success.
Ericsson himself maintained to his
death that with that single vessel he
could destroy any armored feet
afoat. He was the foremost naval
inventor of the age: his opinion was
full of weight; the nation owed him
an immense debt of gratitude; and
yet he could never even prevail upon
the Navy Department to test the
Destroyer. The great inventor him.
self said that the political influence
brought to bear by officers whose oc-
cupation would be gone when the
usefulness of battleships and fortif-
cations had been demonstrated by a
test of the Destroyer was too strong
TO overcome.
We are inclined to think that the
same influence have thwartet Hol-
land. He has offered to take his
boat IN person, to clear Santiago har-
Dor of its mines and to destroy the
Spanish feet there. For this he has
demanded nothing, save the subse-
quent purchase of his boat for a COM
paratively triding sum. Permission
to destroy the enemy has been denied
him on the absurd ground that he is
not a commissioned officer. Mr. Hol-
land met this objection by the offer
to put the Plunger in command of an
officer, he himself going along to
navigate the boat and direct the fire.
Having no red-tape subterfuge left,
the Navy Department simply drop
ped Mr.. Holladd.
Commenting OIL this the Stockton
Mail says:
1t is as clear as day that the au-
thorities at Washington dc not want
the war quickly ended. The Holland
boat if 1t fulhlls its inventors COR
tdent expectations, would end war
quickly. 1t would also demonstrate
the useiessness of battleships and
put an end to building them and
manning them and differing them.
1t a be seen that with the ship
builders, the navy and politicians
against him, Mr.. Holland will get no
chance to use his vessel in this war.
Not till the election is over with any,
way.

S. Err MAN TO RETIRE
The Venerable Secretary of State to Tender
His Resignation.
The Strain Upon Him Now Too Great
Gossip as 10 HIS Sue

On the best Information this afternoon it
can he stated that Secretary Sherman con-
templates leaving the cabinet, and that he
will probably withdraw within the next few
lays. 1t is generally understood that he
will he succeeded by Judge Day, now as
sistant secretary of state.
Secretary Sherman will withdraw from
the cabinet because Of breaking down of
his health and inability to keep up with the
strain of the present situation.
The fact that Mr. sherman's health has
been failing since hisentrance in the cabi-
net is well known. President Mckinley and
all of the cabinet members. together with
the hundreds Of close personal friends of
the Secretary, have noticed this condition,
but owing to the sincere desire to have Mr.
Sherman remain at the head of the State
Department his attention was never called
to what he himself had not observed.
Secretary Sherman has regularly attend
ed the sessions of the cabinet since the
Spanish crisis grew more acute, but he has
not been able to remain at his office longer
than an early hour in the afternoon lie
has willingly turned over the srduous work
of the Spanish question to Judge Day, and

1t is said to be part of the naval pro-
gram to blockade the port of San Juan,
Porto Rico. within a few days, and that
that duty has been devolved upon Captain
SIMPSONS feet, in addition to the general
duty of maintaining a blockade of Cuban
ports. 1t is therefore probable that Cap
tain SIMPSONS fleet win be divided into
two divisions. one Operating on the coast
of Cuba and the other operating against
the Spanish base Of supplies at Porto Rico.
According to one authority, the smaller
vessels Of the fleet. including gunboats and
torpedo boats, will be assigned to the gem
eral blockade of Cuba. while the battle
ships and cruisers will devote their atten-
tion to the blockade of Porto Rico. In case
this plan is followed out 1t is expected that
the President win soon be able to declare
by proclamation that the ports of Porto
Rice, as we'll as those of Cuba, have been
