lief that in the next century, the Unit

sent, the leader of the nations of the
earth. Senator Cullom said the COM
mission would ascertain what Iegisla-

pected to examine the condition of the
people, their industries, the land ques-

would be built. Referring to the war
he remarked that the good people of
the country did not want the war,
but did have the heart of humanity,
and humanity would be benefited by
the result. In conducting the war,
President Mckinley had shown abil-
ity and degree of wisdom and pru-
dence that had won the esteem and
admiration Of every patriotic citizen.
Mason and Dixon's line had been
blotted out, and we are one people.
All are in favor Of one flag and the
union. Representative Hit also
spoke of the certainty of the Near
aguan canal as a result of war and
also a cable to Hawaii. He referred
to the vigor, firmness and judicious
energy of President Mckinley, say
ing that his action was endorsed by
every sensible, thoughtful man il
every political party" A better ap

Resolved. that we rejoice in the
assured prospect of early and honor
able peace, and in the unparalleled
triumph of our brave sailors and sol
dies in the existing war. We hereby
express our hearty admiration fo1
and confidence in the wise, patriotic
and able administration of PresideQ
! Mckinley. He has been equal tt

world how worthy he is to lead {
great people in a great cause"

T. H. Davies and the Jubi.
lee Hospital Plan.
viii Give 5000 for Building and
$4,000 fundamentals Sugges-
lions as to Home for IncurabIes.

The following letter touching on the
project of the Jubilee Hospital will be
of deep interest not only to subjects OF
Great Britain, but to citizens here gen.
orally:
Dear Mr.: Young:-I have given a
good deal of thought to the subject of
the proposed Home for Incurables-as
memorial of the Diamond Jubilee of
Queen Victoria. Nothing could be
more appropriate than such memoir
ial to such Queen; but confess that
the difficulties seem to me to oe SER
icus.
l assume that the privileges OF the
hospital would be confined to resi-
dents in this country of at least one
year, or otherwise it will simply be an
inducement to people abroad to send
their sick and dying here for succour
But are there sufficient residents here
likely to make use of this hospital, to
justify its establishment and mainten-
ance? 1t would naturally be open to
all persons of European or American
birth or parentage, and not restricted
TO British subjects or their descend
ants. Ample provision is already made
for Hawaiians, so that the above re-
Etriction cannot be regarded as in any
way invidious. But residents of year
viii have some sort of home, and I
am glad to think that very few of
them would be so situated as to be in
need of hospital care in their last days
Practically then it resolves itself into
the question-Are there, or are there
likely to be, sufficient eligible patients
TO Justify the provision of even foCr
beds for incurables?
If there are not, the proposed hos
pital would either be costly way of
providing home for The staff in
charge CT the place, or il would have
to be open to strangers-witL the
great disadvantages l have already
pointed out
The above remarks strike at the
very foundation Of this scheme, but #
they are satisfactorily met. l shall be
very glad to subscribe the cost of the
building (not to exceed $4,000 and a
further sum of $4,000, for an endow
meDt fund, on condition that not less
than $4,000 be raised FIR the endow>
mzsnt fund, that no part Of the fund be
invested in industrial securities, end
that each subscriber of $4,000 sho.l he
entitled to a perpetual nomination of
one trustee. A majority of at least
two-thirds of the trustees to be of
British birth or parentage.
by offer is to reamin open for &C
ceptance until the end of tlis yeer.
Believe me,
Very faithfully yours,
