TO AMEND OATH
Mr.. Loebenstein Speaks
on His Proposal.
Plan Favored by the American
League Opium Law Discussed
Non-Voting Office Holders.

There was large attendance for the
meeting of the American League last
evening. President T. B. Murray was
in the chair The first feature of the
session was an address by Representa-
tive A B. Loebenstein, the House
member from Hilo, Puma and Hama
kua, Hawaii. Mr.. Loebenstein spoke
with his usual directness and force, and
was listened to with marked attention.
Hehad been requested to explain to the
organization his proposal to amend the
Constitution with a view to extension
of the franchise. Mr.. Loebenstein argu-
ed at length against the oath of fealty
as it now reads. His point is that with
elimination of mention of Monarchy in
the obligation, the natives will readily
subscribe and become voters, taking
part largely in the formation and con-
duct of the Government. Mr.. Loeben-
stein claims that he is warranted in de-
claring that large numbers of the ma
tiyes on the Island of Hawaii are de-
TERED from coming in" solely by
mention of the Monarchy in the oath.
Mr.. Loebenstein is willing to concede
that this may be called sentiment, but
urges that being in existence it must
be met and overcome. At the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Loebenstein's able address.
the league voted to approve his propos-
al to modify the oath to the extent of
having it provide for declaration of
fealty to the Constitution and Govern
ment of the Republic 1t is maintain
ed that there should also be a code or
act on naturalization.
Quite discussion followed mention
of the opium bill as offered in the Sen
ate by Mr.. Brown. Two years ago the
league favored such a measure. The
policy has not been changed. 1t was
agreed that the organization declare
itself as favoring legislation on opium
along the lines Of the laws on the same
subject in the United States This is a
more moderate expression than made
before.
A couple of members spoke on the
questions and answers same as intro
duced id the House, by Representative
Kaeo of Kauai, on the subject of non
voting employees of the Customs bu-
reau. There was some quite free and
earnest comment on the subject of the
cases in point and distribution of pos
itions in other quarters.
Secretary SEVERN introduced a reso-
luton Of coincidence and regret con-
corning the loss Of the battleship
Maine and 253 of her men. A commit
tee will transmit this message to the
American Minister with the request
that it be forwarded to his Govern
ment.
1t was ordered by a rising vote that
the flag of the American League be dis
played at half-mast today, as sign of
respect to the memory of the men who
persisted in the Maine disaster.
Another meeting of the league will be
held on Tuesday evening of next week,
to talk on pending legislation. The
McCandless Kapiolani park bill was
brought up last evening and endorsed.

EXAMINE THE HULL.
Board of Inquiry Personally Visit
Wreck of Maine.

Board of Inquiry Personally Visit
Wreck of Maine.
HAVANA, February 21.-Today for
the first time the divers made an in
vestigation Of the hull of the Maine
They examined the outside of the hull
at the place where the explosion is
said to have been taken place. The
divers are also very careful about talk
ing about their work. They have re-
ceived strict orders to refuse to an
swer any question about the case of
the disaster or the results of their in
Vestigation.
1t is said tonight that the divers
discovered that the main gunpowder
magazine" did not explode.
Today the divers found a copper
cylinder used in conveying charges to
the six-inch guns. This fact that it
had exploded seems to show that there
was an explosion in the magazine for
fixed ammunition on the port side for
ward.
This afternoon the court of inquiry
personally inspected the wreck of the
Maine. During their investigation
Captain Peral, appointed by the Span
ish Government as a special judge to
investigate the disaster, and his sec
rotary viewed the divers at work.
On board the Mangroye Captain
Sigsbee said that he was quite pleased
with the examination by the Board of
Enquiry, and that he was able to an
swer all the questions asked, not only
as to his own acts, but as to those
of his subordinates on the Maine.
Captain Sigsbee as telegraphed to
Washington for drawing through the
forward magazine, and shell room of
the Maine, showing the pocket coal
bunkers. 1t is considered from this
that he has in his mind the spon-
taneous combustion theory.

HIT AT ANNEXATION.

johnson of Indiana Makes An Attack
In House.
WASHINGTON February 22.-With-
out word of warning, while the sundry
civil bill was under consideration,
Johnson of Indiana took the floor by
the courtesy of the Appropriation Com
mittee, and for three-quarters of an
hour attacked Hawaiian annexation
on all the old points Johnson is out
of the race for reelection to Congress,
has a Senatorship bee in his bonnet,
and in his attack today is looked upon
as the direct spokesman for Speaker
Reed, who confessedly is opposed to
annexation, but is debarred from max
ing fight on the floor, and N the opin-
ion of anneXationists, has taken this
course to strike severe blow at annex
alton.
There was a small audience in the
chamber when the rapid speaking In
dianan began, but his attack on the
Administration policy soon drew the
Democrats about him, and he was ap-
plauded by the minority all through his
address. The we'll delivered and finely
phrased speech of Johnson attracted
much attention. When Tawney of
Minnesota, one of the ablest advocates
of annexation, on two occasions en-
deayored to inturrupt to put ques-
ton which would show the fallacy of
the reasoning of the opponent of the
Island, Johnson refused to yield, but
maintained the current of his argu-
ment.
Some arguments adduced by John
son will be thrown back upon him
when the advocates of taking in the
Islands secure an inning.
His allusion to illiteracy was too
palpably inaccurate to pass muster,
and the height of absurdity was reach
ed when he said the acquisition of AL
aska was yet an experiment; that gold
so far found was across the line, and it
was still question whether in the
seals we had not purchased yexed
question which was still far from so
lutiCn. The opposition to the treaty
considers that by the placing of this
speech where no one could answer it
by reason of time allotment material
damage has been done to the prospects
of annexation. 1t is understood that
Towney or Dolliver will reply to John
son tomorrow.
Johnson electrified the House and
galleries in denunciation of what he
termed an attempt to cut loose from the
traditional policy of the House and
further a scheme of colonization that
had proved the ruin of empires and Of
nations. He used some very strong
language, but his remarks were enthu-
siastically applauded, and the minority
and many Republicans Joined in the
demonstration. He declared that while
he had denounced at the time the state
ment that the Hawaiian Monarchy had
been overthrown with the aid of Amer
lean citizens that he now firmly be-
lieved it was true. The speech, coming
entirely unheralded, produced deep
impression. The general debate of the
sundry civil bill was concluded today
and tomorrow the bill will be taken up
for amendment

Are They &" Pures?"

A gentlemen who is particularly in
terested in boating, but who is con-
suited in about all things athletic in
Honolulu, has raised the question of
the standing of the amateur oarsmen,
who have been indulging in profession
al bicycle riding. The men who have
been mentioned are Martin, Angus and
Sam Johnson. Henry Giles, Tom King
and Fred Damon kept out of the pro-
fessional class at Cyclomere. Damon
did sc on the advice of friends in his
boat club. Angus is captain of the
Myrtles, and Sam Johnson is a member
Of the junior crew of 1897.
Another point that has been raised
here recently, is the standing of Mr.
Cheek, assistant secretary and athletic
instructor at the Y. NJ C. A. 1t is main
tanned by some men who have studied
the question that Mr.. Cheek is essen
TALLY a professional and that he should
not be allowed to start in any amateur
event.

Board Of Inquiry Holding Sessions
In Havana.
COMBUSTION THEORY FAVORED
Two Cases of Ammunition Found
In the Magazine-One Was
Exploded.

HAVANA, February 22.-Consul-
General Lee and the members of the
United tSates Court of Inquiry on the
loss of the battelship Maine called
this morning upon Captain-General
Blanco and Admiral Manterola. When
these ceremonies were ended the Court
returned to the United States light
house tender Mangrove and resumed
its sessions.
Divers failed today to place the cleo
trio light apparatus inside the Maine,
connecting it by wire with the dynamo
of the Mangrove The cause of this
failure is that the wire obtained in
Havana is worthless for the desired
purpose. The work of the divers is
progressing very slowly on account of
paucity here of the materials required
by them The wrecking tug Neptune
is eagerly expected from Key West.
She will bring all the necessary ap-
paratus to raise the big guns, and es-
pecially to clear out of the way of the
divers the many large objects and iron
piers which are hampering them in
their work. 1t is expected that the
electric likht will be in operation to-
morrow and that it will greatly aid in
investigation.
Nearly all the possible salvage has
now been made from the cabin aft.
The efforts to reach the ward and
mess rooms are frustrated by some I'M
known obstacle
Two cases of ten-inch ammunition
have been found, one having exploded,
the other full of powder These were
found forward.
Judge Peral of the Spanish Admiral
~ Court today has been taking the
dispositions of the officers of the Al
fonso XIII and the harbor officials on

an hour or more The proceeding was

senting the document Senator Morgan
said that Mr.. Koop was a capitalist,
who had but recently. returned from

Greece, who, on taking the title of
Sovereign Prince of Crete, would re-
nounce his rights to the Greek throne,
thus meeting the objection that his ap-
pjointment would be the indirect an
nexation of Crete to Greece. 1t is be-
lieved the difficulty will be settled in
this manner.

MOANA.
Present Trip of the Oceanic Liner
Interesting.

1hbSI CSliuSs
The Moana is doing decidedly good
work. She left this port three days
late on her down trip and made such
excellent time that she arrived in Sgd
ney ahead of time. The trip from
Auckland to Sydney was made in 3
days and hours, the fastest time on
record between those two ports.
Shortly after leaving Samoa on the
down trip, Robinson, seaman who
was assisting in the work of getting
ready sail, was swept overheard by
the sudden filling of the canvas. A
boat was lowered away and in 35 min
utes the steamer was on her way again.
Robinson was a very strong swimmer
so that, notwithstanding the fact that
he was lost sight of awhile, there was
no difficulty in getting him. 1t was
extremely good fortune that the event
occurred during the day. Otherwise,
the chances of saving him would have
been small.
The Moana left shortly after mid
night last night with every berth in
both cabin and steerage taken up.
About half of these were from this
port. Then she took on 5000 bags of
sugar for San Francisco.
The Moana has certainly become
most popular boat. A large number
of the people who left last night put
themselves out by waiting over to have
the pleasure of travelling to the Coast

Florence Hull Wlnterburn, writing of

favor OF such a record: .@"
ut Is chiefly for her own instruction
and guidance that q mother needs to keep
some kind of nursery notebook For the
refreshment of her memory when patience
Ia likely to fall and for the roawakcning
of dullod sympathy with childish moods
as well as for the enlightenment of others
to whom she may choose to impart her cx-
pericnces the results of her labor will
more than repay her for the trouble taken.
'She need follow no rulos, nor even at
tempt to make regular entries, unless she
has inclination for the task Facts bear
Ing upon physical variations are extreme
ly valuable, and it Is wise to note the
weight and growth of u child at regular
intervals to ascertain whether no Is deyel-
oping normally. Even moro important
are observations upon his general health,
temperament, disposition and the use he
makes OF his faculties.
Although the mother herself may not
be aware of the standard he should attain
her statement of facts may give the clew
to physician when puzzling symptoms

An Austrian Doeberry.

The Vienna men Of law have recently
distinguished themselves in unique man
ner. A Wachau peasant had been caught
IN the criminal act Of throwing stones Mt
rabbits. He had not hit them, and the
rabbits had decemped without SO much as
1uspecting the attack, but the peasant
was hauled before the high courts Of jus
tice. His defense was that the rabbits had
been close to his garden and that he had
only tried to frighten the greedy rodents
OIL his cabbages. All the same. he was
condemned to three days Imprisonment.
The peasant appealed against the sentence,
but In vain. II q rabbit had been killed.,
said the authorities, the peasant would
certainly have stolen it, and stealing n rnb-
bit was an unlawful action. And thus the
man from Wachau went to prison for three
days, and the wise judges OF Vienna have
bounded into fame for their new method
of applying the "if' and land" theory
