Rails on Douglas Avenue.

company to lay rails on Douglas ave-
nue. from the junction of Orms street
To Chad Brown street was considered
late yesterday afternoon by the COM
mittee on railroads of the city council,
and a public hearing was held i'm order
10 give all who were interested in the
matter an opportunity to express their
opinions.
Alderman Mccarthy of the Third
ward addressed the committee. and said
that the reason why the petitioners ask
to have rails laid only TO Chad Brown
street IN because the avenue Is not
curbed and graded beyond that point.
He hoped the Union Railroad company
would be given the right TO lay its rails
and TO run cars over this route, that
the people migN be given every facility
for reaching the centre OF the city. He
said II was hoped ultimately to have
the rails laid as far as Admiral street.
Mr. Amasa M. Eaton said the need
OF such accommodation had been felt
for many years, but he hoped the tracks
would be extended to Eaton street.
which was about 600 feet beyond. He
also thought the tracks Should be so
laid that people over that route could
come to the centre OF the city by way OF
Francis street.

also spoke in favor OF laying rails in
Douglas avenue. and the hearing was
then closed

Territorial Form to Be
Recommended.
BUT WITH MODIFICATION.
What Senator CullOm OF the CON-
mission Says on Subject.
A DIVERSITY OF INTERESTS,

San Francisco Oct. 1.-Senator Cul-
lom one of the commissioners, sent to
Hawaii by the United States govern
ment to report as 10 the form of gov
ernment that would be most suitable,
and who arrived i'm this country on the
steamer Gaelic, says that the commits
sion has concluded its labor and as a
result OF their observations they will
recommend a territorial form of gov
ernment, different from that of the ter
ritories in the United States modified
to suit the conditions in Hawaii They
will give particular attention to the
changes necessary in the land, labor
and navigation laws.
Senator Cullom was averse To going
into details of the scope OF the leyisla-
tion that will be recommended. He
said:
After arriving at the Hawaiian ISL
ands we met many people of various
conditions and views whose sentiments
were learned with interest. We visited
the different islands of the group for
the purpose Of studying their resources
and capabilities, and the social and do
nestle conditions OF their inhabitants.
certaining the temper of the people
toward the United States. -
While the committee has substan-
TALLY determined the nature of the le-
gislation that ought to be recommended
to congress, il Is still not disposed TO
consider the subject entirely for the
reason that the report has not yet been
written and for the further reason that
the two island members of the commits
sion, j. ID. Frear and President Dole,
expect to come on TO Washington I'm
November. when /, as chairman, Intend
to make a report to the full commits
sion. after which the bill and repart
will be submitted to the President and
congress, when il convenes.
II have stated that the commission
will undoubtedly recommend a terrific
rial form OF government. but not the
ordinary form that we have usually
adopted for the management OF our
home territories, the conditions being
so different in the matter of location
and constituency.
There are many interests to provide
for. Some do not want the navigation
laws changed. They prefer to permit
shipping advantages TO be accorded TO
others besides our country. We have
likewise received petitions asking that
none but American registered vessels
be permitted to trade between the ISL
ands and other American ports.
"One of the most important questions
Is that OF contract labor importation.
! think that the laws now In force in
the United States will apply to Ha-
wall as well.
1T would not do to have laws radi-
cally different for one little patch OF
country. In Hawaii those interested
say they are attempting since annexa-
tion TO prevent the importation of large
mn hpF M n
der labor contracts. Maybe they are.
but 1 know that on the steamer we
came upon there arrived from Japan
GOO Japanese. II seems probable that
they are rushing in now i'm anticipation

by means Of ticket or otherwise or under
any conditions constituting a sale. the
