SCHEME FOR THE
RULE OF HAWAII
I'LL FOR TERRITORIAL Gov
ERNnyENT REPORTED.
Changes Made by the Senate Com
mittee-No Color or Nationality
Line to Be Dra wn in Citizenship.
All Persons Who Were Citizens of
Hawaii on Aug. 12, 1893, to Be
Citizens of United States-Qualifi-
cation of Territorial Senators.

Washington, Dec. 21.--The senate
committee on foreign relations today
concluded its revision of the bill pro-
viding a territorial government for Ha-
wall and Senator Cullom reported the
changes to the senate. The most i'm
portant of the changes are 80 follows:
The section defining citizenship was
amended by striking out the word
white" and the explicit reference to
Portuguese and was left to read as fol-
lows: THAT all persons who were citi-
zens of the repUblic of Hawaii on Aug
u. 1S9S are hereby declared to be Citi-
zens of the United States"
The request of one-fifth of the mem
bers of the territorial house of repre-
sentatives is made sufficient to demand
the ayes and noes. the original require
ment being one-thirG.
The provision in re- gard to the quail
fiCations of territorial senators is
changed so as to reQCire that the sem
atOr shall be a male citizen, thirty years
of age. that he shalt have resided in
the Hawaiian islands not less than
three years and that he shall be quail
fled to vote for senator's the explicit
property qualification being stricken
out.
REGARDING MEMBERS.
4 like change is made in the pro-
vision regarding members of the house
who are required to be qualified by the
changes to vote for representatives.
Section 43, allowing one house of the
legislature to legislate after the other
has adjourned. was stricken out, as was
also the provision requiring that each
bill should receive the written approval
of three members before being intro
duced. The provision authorizing the
territorial Supreme court to pass upon
the qualifications of members of the
legislature was not charged and it was
left as recommended by the commits
sion. The governor is required to send
his estimates for appropriations to the
legislature as a whole and not to the
senate alone as originally required.
The following restriction on the issu-
ance of bonds is inserted:
Nor shall any bond or other in
strument of any Indebtedness be issued
unless made redoemable in not more
than five years and payable in not
more than fifteen years from the date
of issue thereof"
The provision that no retroactive law
shall be enacted is stricken out.
In the qualifications for voters for
territorial representatives the worn
"Understandingly' in the educational
qualification is stricken out, requiring
simply that they shall read, write and
speak the English or Hawaiian lam
guage." No change is made in the
qualifications for voters for senators.
The provision in regard to the regis
tration of Hawaiian vessels was
changed to read as follows:
That all vessels carrying Hawaiian
registers on the 18th of August. 1898,
shall be entitled to be registered as
American vessels with the benefits
and privileges appertaining thereto.
