President as a quasi proclamation:
To THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEo-
PIE OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS:
By the terms OF the joint resolu.
ton by which the cession of the Ha-
waiian Islands and their Dependent
cies to the United States of America
is concluded, it is provided that
until Congress shall provide for the
government of Hawaii, call the civil,
judicial and military powers exer-
cised by the officers of the existing
government" are to be vested in
such person or persons, and to be
exercised in such manner, as the
President of the United States shall
direct. In the exercise of the power
thus conferred upon him by the
joint resolution the President here
by directs that the civil, judicial and
military powers in question shall be
exercised by the officers of the Re-
public of Hawaii, as it existed just
prior to the transfer of sovereignty,
subject to his power to remove such
officers aud to fill vacancies. All
such officers will be required at once
to take an oath of allegiance to the
United States, and all the military
forces will be required to take a
similar oath and all bonded officers
will be required to renew their bonds
to the government of the United
States.
The powers of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs will, upon the trans
fer of the sovereignty and property
of Hawaii to the United States
necessarily cease, so far as they re-
late to the conduct of diplomatic
intercourse between Hawaii and
foreign powers.
The municipal legislation of Ha-
wall except such as was enacted for
the fulfillment of the treaties be-
tween that country and foreign
nations, and except such as is incon-
sistent with the joint resolution, or
contrary to the Constitution OF the
United States or to any existing
treaty of the United States, ia to re-
main in force till the Congress of
the United States shall otherwise
determine. The existing customs
relations of Hawaii with the United
States and with other countries, are
to remain unchanged till Congress
shall have extended the customs
laws and regulations of the United
States to the Islands.
Under these various provisions,
the government of the Islands will
proceed without interruption.

SOLDIERS TO BE DISCHARGED
The Undesirable Men Of the Tonnes
see Regiment Will Be
Mustered Out.

Orders were issued from department
headquarters yesterday afternoon for the
discharge of 160 men of the Tennessee
Regiment, who were found not suitable
for the service by Major Field. who in
spected them. Another general order was
also issued for the discharge of a number
of men from the Washington, Kansas and
Iowa regiments, whose applications for
discharge have already been approved by
the Secretary Of War. There are forty
one of these men from the three regi-
ments and 164 from the Tennessee Regf-
ment.
No shortage has been found In the books
of First Lieutenant Cady, the regimental
quartermaster of the Iowa Regiment.
Both the lieutenant and Colonel Lopez
alleged shortage, as published in the
Chronicle, was incorrect. Lieutenant
Cady said he knew nothing of the matter
until his attention was called to the ar
ticle in the paper. Inquiry at division
Headquarters showed that instead of being
short Lieutenant Cady had submitted his
returns of all property and that he has a
large surplus he desires to return in to the
quartermaster's department and, author

TEACHERS MAY HELP
THE SCHOOL BOARD
CAN SIGN A PAPER TO FoREGo
SALARIES.
Only Way, According to Superintend-
ent Webster, to Avoid a
Shortage.

The financial difficulties of the School
Board will not lead to the closing Of the
public schools in December. as stated in
an Ill advised rumor circulated yesterday,
Superintendent Webster said to a Call
reporter: There is no reason to think
that the schools will be compelled to shut
down, even for a part of q month. This
cry about the necessity of closing the
schools is heard regularly every year
see the School Board cannot stop the
pay of the teachers, nor can 1T reduce
their pay 10 per cent, as the years Sala-
ries were fixed last July. If an attempt
lieve that the teachers would take action
in the courts. Nor can the board reduce
the number Of teachers on the payroll, ac-
cording to decisions of the courts. Once
a teacher is upon the payroll he or she
must remain there, unless charges can
be brought which will result in dismissal.
There is but one way in which the
School Board can be helped out of its
difficulties by the-teachers. and that is
by securing their voluntary signatures
to an agreement to releaSe the board
from liability for their salaries for a
period of two weeks or a month. Perhaps
the teachers would be willing to make
such a written agreement in case of a
shortage. Any other way of handling the
matter will, in my opinion, be subject to
legal dispute"

A BOOM is ON
THE WHEAT MARKET
WAR SCAREs ARE GIVING FOR
EIGNERS UNEASINESS.
General Advance in Prices Here and
Among the European
Traders.

A general bull wheat market is upon
the country. There is no Letter. Supply
and demand rule the market. War scares
are giving foreigners no little uneasi-
ness. December wheat In the Chicago
market advanced cents yesterday
Liverpool quoted wheat cents advance
over Saturdays closing prices and a still
greater advance on the curb after the
regular trading. Consols declined point,
the greatest decline in months. French
rentes opened at 101f 90c and closed at
101f 55c, with late sales at 101f.
Reports from the United Kingdom and
Continent were of the most exciting char
acter. Liverpool cabled that all sellers of
wheat had withdrawn their offers and all
kinds Of prices were being paid. The out
look would indicate matters growing
worse before getting better. The trade
In general IS disposed TO look upon war as
being impossible, but while conditions re-
main threatening there is no telling where
prices for food products may go.
America is about the only source Of
wheat and corn supplies from which Eng
land and France may draw at the pres
ent time. The Continent was a good buyer
of wheat futures during the latter part of
yesterdays session, giving the market re-
II conditions become more alarming
wheat will advance rapidly. The last
yond 81 % per. bushel. It is just dawning
upon the trade that wheat has been too
cheap. 1t is more than likely America
will feed the world this year with her big
crop, which means renewed prosperity
and less likelihood of prices going back
to their former low level.
The advance in cereals during October
means over 800, 900 900 to producers-a
sung sum. Wheat has influenced corn
prices. the latter advancing about cents
per bushel. Hog products are strengthen
Ing and promise a good-sized advance in
the near future. Cotton declined 10 points
on war rumors
The local wheat market was strong, De-
cember selling at 81 271k, May 81 20. Con-
siderable selling by those who had good
profits in sight took place. There Is
strong undertone to the market and much
depends upon Liverpool quotations. Yes
terday's trading was the largest since the
late decline. Barley was dull and neg
lected, traders awaiting developments.

Is Recovering From an Injury Re-
ceived on His Way Up the
Yukon

Joseph A. Leonard, who went from here
last June as manager of an expedition
to dredge for gold on the Yukon River,
arrived yesterday on the steamer Walla
Walla.
While on the way up the Yukon River
a month ago his foot slipped and caught
IN the machinery of the boat and was
badly crushed and mangled. From lack
Of surgical care and proper medicines
blood poisoning and eryslpelas set in, and
hope of saving his life was given UP by
the other members of his party. At his
urgent request he was sent back down
the river, accompanied by. ]. G.; Hum
phreys, dentist of Alameda After en-
during many hardships they made st.
Michael. Mr.. Leonard's condition re-
mained extremely critical until after
leaving st. Michael, when a supply Of
medicines, obtained from a doctor on
the steamer they had taken passage on,
proved so beneficial that he soon began
to improve.
Mr.. Leonard hopes to be able to save
his foot, and expects next summer to
rejoin his party, who believe him to by
this time dead. His vessel Is the Dawson
City, which sailed from San Francisco
on the sd Of last June with twenty pas
sengers and apparatus for dredging gold
from the river beds by means of cen
trifugal pump:
Mr. Leonard was carried from the
steamer on mattress and was taken to
his home in Alameda.
