PREPARING Jury LISTS.

The jury list for the next six
months will be prepared on Saturday.
The clerks of the judiciary depart
ments prepare list of seventy-fve
names of people liable to service and
submit them to the circuit judges.
The list is then revised and cut down
to fifty. The names of these fifty
men are then put into the jury box
and thirty-siX drawn therefrom.
These constitute the panel for six
months, at the end of which the pro-
cess is repeated. The same course is
pursued in selecting Hawaiian, mixed
and foreign juries.
All government employees, lawyers,
doctors and members of military or
ganizations are exempt from jury du-
ty, which makes it onerous on the
few good men and true who are left.

| United States in regard to the foreign
| labor
The question whether white labor can
| be profitably used in the sugar plan
tatiOns is yet problem, but the plant
ers are preparing to give such labor a
| trial and some of them believe it will
prove superior to the labor of either
| Chinese or japanese.
! The Commissioners take pains to ex-
press their united opinion that the plan
outlined for the Government of Hawaii
cannot be regarded as a precedent for
| Porto Rico and the Philippines, saying
on this point: Much has been said to
the effect that the policy or scheme of
government for the Hawaiian Islands
will be taken and accepted as an index
or precedent to be followed in the plan
of government for Porto Rico and the
Philippines. In view of this apparent
expectation or belief on the part of
many good people in the United States,
the Commission deems it proper to OBJ
serve that the people of Hawaii are
capable of Self-gOvernment and have
proved this by the establishment of the
Republic of Hawaii and the adoption of
a Constitution and code of laws which
would compare favorab bly, with those of
any other government, and under such
conditions and laws have maintained a
stable government for several years,
worthy of free people. The people of
those Islands are more or less familiar
with the institutions and laws of the
United States, while the laws of the
little Republic are largely taken from
the laws of this country.
'It cannot be said that either the
Porto Ricans or the Filipinos are at all
familiar with our system of govern
ment or with any other based on the
principle of liberty. The underlying
theory of our Government is the right
of self-gOvernment and a people must
| be fitted for self-government before
| they can be trusted with responsible
| ties and duties attaching to a free gov
ernment. These remarks are made to
negative the idea that because the peo-
pie of the Hawaiian Islands can. in the
| judgment of the Commission, be con-
siStently given Self-gOvernment to an
extent almost equal to that given the
people in the States, it can safely be
inferred that other insular possessions
which the United States have or may
acquire by treaty with Spain can be
granted equal freedom in government" p"
The report is unanimous except on
| one point, on which President Dole
makes a minority recommendation.
This recommendation is for board of
advisers to the Governor of the Terri
tory, and he recommends that the
Treasurer, AttOrney-General, Superin-
tendent of Public Works and Commits
sioner of Public Lands shall be consti-
tuted special counsefors of the Cover

the acts of Congress providing for the
establishment OF territorial govern
ments in the United States. but the
Commissioners regard the provision as
exceptionally important in this bill for
many reasons, among which they men
ton the continued Importation of Chi
rese labor into Hawaii.
Remarking on this point they say:
1T has been the policy of the Govern
ment of Hawaii, before and since the
establishment of the Republic, to i'm
port men under labor contracts for a
term Of years, at the expiration of
which they are to return TO the coun-
tries from which they came Those
brought in are mainly from China and
Japan. Since the act of Congress an
neXing Hawaii was passed prohibiting
Chinese immigration, Hawaiian sugar
planters have seemed to be making an
unusual effort in securing the importa-
ton Of Japanese laborers, fearing
trouble and embarraSSme on account
of insufficient labor for the care and
carrying on of their sugar plantations.
Of course, it becomes necessary to ex-
tend our labor laws over the Islands,
so as TO prObit all kinds of foreign con-
tract labor from coming to the terri
tory; first, because it is the policy of
this country to keep out all kinds of
cheap foreign labor, including coolie
labor, and thereby prevent such labor
from interfering with the wages of
American labor and, secondly, to pro-
tect our manufactured porducts from
competition with manufactured goods
produced by cheap alien labor The
general laws of the United States will
place the people Of the territory on the
same footing as the people of the
States and other territories of the

Auditor and Deputy Auditor, Sur
veyor-General, and a chief Sheriff 10
succeed to the duties of Marshal Of the
Republic, all to be appointed by the
Governor.
Probably the most important portion
of the bill is Section 4, defining citizen
ship, which provides that "aIl white
persons, including Portuguese and per-
sons of African descent and all persons
descending from the Hawaiian race on
either the paternal or maternal side,
who were citizens of the Republic of
Hawaii Immediately prior to the trans
fer of sovereignty thereof to the Unit
ed States, are hereby declared to be
citizens of the United States"
Provision is made for Legislature
TO consist of two houses-a Senate, to
consist of fifteen members, as at pres
ent, and a House of Representatives
consisting of thirty members, double
the membership of the House under
the Hawaiian Republic. The members
are to be elected at a general election
to be held on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1899, and
biennially thereafter. The Supreme
Court is to be the sole judge of the
legality Of election to a seat in either
house in case Of contest.
There is also a provision that no per-
sons who, having been entitled to quail
ify and vote prior to October, 1897, and
since July, 1894, failed to register as
such voter, shall have a vote unless he
shall take AN oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States. The ses-
sions Of the Legislature are limited to
sixty days in duration and each mem

COMMISSION REPORT.

WASHINGTON, December 6-The
first portion of the Hawaiian Commits
SiOn'S report, which was sent to Con-
greSs today, is mainly descriptive of
the Hawaiian Islands, the inhabitants,
the existing institutions, the public do
main, production. climate. harbors and
shipping facilities. and various condi-
tionS of general interest. The remain
ing portion is mainly devoted to the
discussion of the legislation proposed
by the Commission, giving in the ap-
pendiX the various reports of sub-com-
mittees and copies of the bills suggest
ed.
Three bills are formulated for the
consideration of Congress. The first
and principal one outlines a general
plan of government and the other two
deal with subordinate questions. OF the
main bill the Commissioners express
the opinion that it will prove to be
such a measure for the government OF
the Hawaiian Islands as will best pro
mote the interests of their people at
the same time that it promotes the in
terests and maintains the sovereignty
of the people of the United States"
1t provides for the creation of the
Islands into a territory of the United
States. to be styled the Territory ot
Hawaii. The bill contains provisions
for the government of the territory
giving it executive legislative anC
judicial officers. A Governor, Secretary
of the Territory, a United States Dis

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
Governor With Much Power-List
OF OffIcerS-The Suffrage-Tariff.
Shipping-Labor-ln MESSAGE.

| WASHINGTON, December 6.-Ha-
waii as a territory under a comprehen-
sive system of laws is the aim of bills
now before the committees of both
houses of Congress. President McKin-
ley today sent the report of the Ha-
Waiian Commission and the measures
drafted by that body to Congress.
That there will be lively battle over
Hawaiian legislation was foreshadowed
today. Senator Vests resolution declar-
ing that the United States cannot an
mex territory other than with a view to
ultimate statehood was tantamount to
a declaration that party lines cannot be
drawn in the battle in support of the
policy of President Mckinley. There
are Republican members of the Senate
who will oppose making Hawaii ter
ritory, as they are opposed to an island
state.
| Another feature Of the complications
was the introduction of bill in the
House by Payne of New York provid
ing for the extension of the customs
and navigation laws of the United
| States over the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is
understood that this action was taken
| in view OF the fact that the fight over
| the general Hawaiian territorial bill
| may be prolonged, and with the idea of
securing at once to the American mer-
| chant marine all the advantages of
| trade between the Pacific coast and the
| Islands. This is not the only separate
measure which is probable.
Senator Perkins is determined that
very speedily legislation shall be had
| looking to the extension of the Amer
| lean contract labor and exclusion laws
over the Islands, and may at once in
| troduce bills which will put these stat
utes in operation in Hawaii without
reference to the passage of the general
government bill. Senator Perkins said
today that. since annexation was ac-
complished, it was important that ev-
| cry advantage should be obtained by
Americans, and that Congress will be
| asked to pass such bills as are neces-
| sary Immediately, irrespective of the
| fight which will be made on the bill re-
ported by the Commission, and which
| it is expected will be brought in from
the committees in both branches of
Congress within a week
