To the Senate OF the United

against the assertion OF ownership
by the United States of America of
the so-called Hawaiian crown lands,
amounting to about 100000 acres,
and which are my property, and |
especially protest against such as
sertion of ownership as a taking OF a

Commission Will Agree.

WASHINGTON, December 22,-The
next session Of the joint Canadian
High Commission will be limited
pretty closely to fortnight. Lord
Herschel, the British member of the
Commission, is booked to sail for
Europe on the 25th of January. He
cannot delay longer in the United
States for the reason that he is
Obliged to attend the opening Of the
Paris arbitration on the Venezuelan
boundary, being one of the arbtra,
tors.
There are indications that after
all the Commissioners regard the
prospects of reaching an agreement
as very much brighter than they
we're just before the adjournment of
the session and the opinion is now
expressed in we'll informed circles
that before Lord Herschel's depart
ure a treaty will have been COM
pleted settling all the points in dis
pute between the two countries and
even making some slight progress
toward the attainments of recipro-
city.

waii will be passed in Congress in
its present shape, but the indica-
tions are that all the salient points
will meet with the approval of Con-
gress, which probably will spend
very little time in discussing the
details having other, aud to them,
more important business to attend
to. The amendments to the clauses
referring to Government lands and
to retroactive legislation indicate
that measures will probably be taken
to cancel, at least, the leases OF pub
lie lands, granted since the passage
OF the Newlands resolution. For
eign vessels registered under the
Haw allan flag since the 18th Of
August will probably lose their
registers under the provisions Of the
act. The Hawaiians and others who
were citizens Of Hawaii on the 18th
of August, 1898, will become citi-
zens OF the United States upon the
passage OF the act, and that clause
will pass in spite of Mr.. Kinney's
mission to Washington in an at.
tempt, on behalf OF the planters, to
deprive the Hawaiians of fran
chise. After little while some of
the ardent annexationists may feel
little tired They destroyed a
government, which they de facto
controlled; they wanted annexation,
and when their leases are cancelled,
their obedient officials relegated to
private life, and the majority Of the
people is ruling the territory, the
sympathy they will get will he, I'VE
told you so; you wanted annexation
and you have got it with a ven
geance."

We doubt that the official organ
was authorized in saying in its issue
Of yesterday that Captain Hooper
Of the McCulloch considered his
voyage in Hawaii in 1898 in the Rich
ard Rush one of the unpleasantest
tasks during his career, because he
carried to Honolulu the "ill. .fated"
Com missioner j. II. Blount, who
came here as the represent ative of
the President OF the United States
who is the commander in chief Of
the navy in which Captain Hooper
serves. II is unfortunate that our
naval officers are frequently only tco
ready to criticise the actions OF their
super iors and shoot their mouths
off on matters which certainly are
beyond their province and thereby
violate the first rules OF discipline.
If Captain Hooper did not like tho
policy of President Cleveland be
needn't have undertaken the Sun
pleasant" task OF bringing Mr..
Blount to Honolulu. He had the
privilege of resigning his commission
and retiring to private life, but as an
officer and gentleman he certainly
has no right, while wearing the
honored uniform of the country, to
cast slurs upon his superior officer,
whose order he obeyed, and upon
what was then the policy Of his
country. We feel sure, however,
that the gallant Captain has been
misrepresented by the always mac
curate Advertiser, and that the Ian
guage attributed to him was that of
the paper, which always delights in
insulting Mr.. Blount, who acted as
an honest and true man and, to the
surprise of the missionaries, could
not I" be corrupted"

The Chief Justice this morning
rendered the opinion of the Supreme
Court, Associate Justice Whiting
and Hon. F. M. Hatch sitting with
him, in the matter of the habeas
corpus proceedings OF Attorney Geo.
A Davis, in connection with the
punishment for contempt of court.
The writ was discharged and Mr..
Davis was remanded to the custody
of the Marshal to suffer the penalty
OF his indiscretion. He, very pro-
perly in our opinion, protested
against being confined in a common
criminal Jail and maintained that it
was contrary to the provisions OF
the American Constitution as it is
contrary to the practice Of civilized
countries. Deep sympathy is felt
in the community for all the parties
to this very unpleasant contretemps

ever be protected from attorneys
who act indiscreetly and lose self
control, and it must be admitted
that Judge Perry's patience has
been severely taxed II he is man
of sensitive mind his feelings must

made against his impartiality as a

There seems to be an unpleasant
friction between the Judiciary and
the Executive in regard to the Chi
nese muddle. A bench warrant was
issued by the Chief Justice this
morning ordering the Marshal to
arrest 20 Chinese arrived on the
Doric, and forthwith bring their
bodies before him. Acting Marshal
Chillingworth obeyed the order and
arrested the men on board the
steamer and proceeded to take them
to the Court. The agent OF the
Board OF Health objected to the
men being landed in violation of
quarantine regulations, and the
Customs officials offered to oppose
the egress OF the Marshal and his
prisoners through the gates of the
wharf. Armed with the order of the
Chief Justice, the Acting Marshal
commanded the mounted police to
"clear the road" and proceeded to
march his prisoners into town. At
that moment letter was handed to
him, and his prisoners were sent to
the Quarantine Station. We would
like to know, whether the G. j. is
running the Judiciary, Executive
and Legislative branches OF this
Government? He is trying it at
least.

A SUPPOSED BAD SCHEME
To Unload More KnoW-No 9th ing Doc
tors on the State Than There
are Now.

The day following the commencement
exercises of the Kansas Medical col
lege there was filed with the secretary
of state a charter of 1.-The Union State
Medical society of Winchester, Kan,
and as incOrpOratOrs of the association
appeared the names of five of the young
gentlemen who graduated the night be-
fore The names were L H. Duguid of
Winchester, J. @. Low of Summerfield,
J. NJ. Amis of WaKeeny, A. Haggart of
Topeka and r. E. Massey of Topeka.
The object of the society as set forth
in the petition was to promote medical
science and advance all those connected
with the medical profession.
DR.. H. z. Gill, secretary of the state
board of health, now believes that he
has discovered in the association a
scheme for the graduation of under
graduates of the Kansas Medical coli
lege and colleges of other states as well.
He is in receipt of a certificate made
out to B. S. Simmons of Winchester,
bearing the seal of the Union State
Medical society, which was sent him for
registration. In vestigation has reveal
ed the fact that Simmons is under
graduate of the Kansas Medical college.
On advice of Attorney General Boyle
DR.. Gill refused to register the certif-
icate, and if it is proven that the real
object of the society is as supposed,
prosecution will probably follow for vi
olatiOn of the state medical law.
If scuh a scheme could be carried
through it would prove very profitable
to those connected with it.
