THE CooLIE LABOR QUESTION.

Washington, November 2S.-Mr. Justice
Frear, one of the Hawaiian commissioners
and also member of the supreme court
of Hawaii said today in answer 70 ques-
ton as to the solution of the coolie labor
problem in Hawaii:
ssJJnder the present law coolie labor can
be imported Our people, If left to their
own choic3, would prefer to continue this
system; but we will not hesitate to give
1t up If required. We realize that the
stability Of government will be so largely
increased under annexation that we could
afford to amend our labor laws and sacri.
flee cheap labor.
"As matter of fact our planters ara
now starting in to make a serious at
tempt to introduce white laborers. Some
have already been brought in from
California and 1t ia believed the expert
ment will succeed. The notion to prevails
in some quarters that white men cannot
work in the tropics 1t must be remem-
bered however, that there are differences
in tropical countries. Hawaii is really on
the edge Of the tropics. Furthermore, the
islands are tempered by cool ocean cur
rent which reduces the temperature ten
degrees below that of other countries in
the same latitude. A great proportion OF
the best coffee lands are located in very
temperate zone.'

Washington, November 23.-The COM
mission appointed by the Presioeno "

the Hawaiian islands as q part OF the
United States, met in Senator Culiom
committee room at the Capitol tonlgnb
for the first time since leaving Honolulu.
Senators Cullom and Morgan, kepresen-
tatiye Hit and Judge Frear, being pres.
emit.
The meeting was devoted to discussing
details of the bill and report which the
commission will present to Congress
which had not been fully decided upon
at the last meeting. The legislation
which will be recommended by the COM
mission, will be included in bill which
to all intents and purposes will be an en-
abling act and very much like the bills
providing for the admission OF new states
into the Union, except in the one import
ant detail that it provides for the admis-
sion of territory ard not state. 1he
bill has been completed, but will proba-
bly be amended somewhat in detail. The
report has not been completed, but the
commission has decided upon its import
ant features One of these is a recon-
mendation that the system OF importing
laborers under contract shall be dlsoon-
tinued. The commissioners have CON-
cIuded that as the system is contrary to
the laws applying to this country as
whole it would not be wise to continue
it even temporarily in Hawaii. 1t is
understood that majority at least of the
memb ers of the commission do not accept
the theory that Americans and Europeans
cannot do manual labor in the islands.
The commission will recommend a reg
uIar territorial form of government with
a governor, o delegate in Congress and a
legislature The legislature will be
elected by the qualified voters of the is
land, but there will BIZ property and edu-
cational qualifications imposed on those
who vote for members of the upper house
of the legislature. The franchise will
to be extended to the Japanese or Chinese
in the island, but the Portuguese who
become citizens will not be excluded
under the restrictions imposed. The COM
mission will present full details of the
value of property acquired, the income
from tariff taxes and other important
facts bearing upon the government of the
islands, They estimate at the property
secured to the United States will amount
to more than $40. 000, 900. The public lands

So, 600, 900.

Miss Dora Eunice Giflin is charm
ing little maid of ten months. who has
travelled ut least thousand miles for
ea.h month she has lived, and is, be-
yondrivalry, the champion infant globe
trotter of the world. Dora, who is the
daughter of missionary in Egypt, was
born at Asynt, and began her wander.
ing life at the early age Of seven weeks.
Her first excursion was to Cairo {;
from Cairo she iourneyed to Alexan-
dria, and then the restless little soul
took the steamer to Marseilles, visited
Paris. and then travelled to London
and Oxford. Still painting for change
of scene, the little nomad, now three
and a half months old, crossed the
Atlantic and saw the wonders of New
York. Still she was not content, but,
Ulysses-like, must explore the United
States, which she is now engaged in
doing. By the end Of Dora's firstyear
of life she will have travelled distance
equal to half the earth's circumference.

An Unworthy Trick.

In a recent Pail Mall Gazette we
find good story OF Il landed proprie-
tor in Switzerland, who was very
much interested in Il railway matter
upon which the district where he was
landed had to vote. He wanted it to
vote aflirmatively, and so he let it be
generally understood that every voter
would become the recipient of lib
eral hamper of wine, provided there
was no negative vote to be found in
the ballot box. The number of voters,
including the great man himself,
totalled one hundred and eight, and
ON the day when the voting was to be
taken every one of them went to the
poll. Not only that, but every one of
that crowd went to the poll with the
conviction that that hamper of wine
was rs good as in his cellar. Their
disgust. therefore, may he readily i'm
agined when the ballot box was found
to contain one hundred and seven af-
tirmative papers and one negative. To
the imagination also must be left the
language in which their feelings found
expression when they arrived ut the
certainty that the landed proprietor
had landed them by giving that vote
himself.

Candy.

The weight of opinion is in favor
OF moderate amount of good, pure
candy eaten by children with or soon
after their food and that it is not only
not in the least detrimental, but is
positively beneficial. 1t is the cheap
sweets manufactured ont OF injurious
compounds that have drawn upon the
practice the odium of medical men.
Pure sweets contribute valuable force
to the human system and need not be
feared. A Chicago physician claims
that one can scarcely eat too much
pure chocolate. Now, if this authority
would only go little further and tell
us how we are TO know the pure from
the impure, a great burden would be
lifted from many mothers, who are
anxious to do ght and yet are equally
anxious to contribute to their chill
dren's happiness. Philadelphia Rec

Hydraulic LifebOats.

Three hydraulic lifeboats are now in
service in England. The propelling
agents are jets Of water driven out by
a powerful steam pump through noz-
zles under the water. The nozzles
can be made to drive the boat forward
or back ward, or to turn it, the boat,
of course, being driven by the reac-
tion in the direction opposite to that
of the escaping water. A speed of
nine miles all hour was maintained for
some two hours in trial trip. They
are not economical; their strong point
is the absence of an external paddle
wheels or prol oilers, which are so
liable to become fouled by wreckage.
The boat has projecting guards, which
protect the noZzles from striking
against slips or docks.

THE FIRST OF THE WHEEL CRAZE,
II Began to Rage In America as Long Ago
az the Year 1869.

Frank H. yizetelly tells "The Story
of the Wheel in st. Nicholas. Mr..
Vizetelly says: The spring Of 1869
found the wheel craze universal. Car.
riage-builders were led to add to their
factories plants for the manufacturing
of velocipedes. Over one thousand
OF these machines were turned out
every week, while orders were pouring
in by the tens of thousands. To
quote from a newspaper of about that
time: Gas al indication of the extent
to which the manufacture of veloci-
pedes was carried on, it may be men,
toned that Mr.. Calvin Witty, the
purchaser of the Lallement patent,
employed the resources of seven large
carriage-makers, and kept their estab-
lishments busy day and night. He
had seventy men at work in one
establishment in New York, and he
also kept men actively employed in
two factories in Connecticut, one in
Wilmington, Del. and one in Newark,
N. j."
But few people had expected that
the mania for this new style of wheeled
vehicles would be so great.
Among the earliest who exhibited
their skill on the velocipede in public
were the Hanlon brothers. They used
somewhat clumsy type of wheel from
France. These, at best, were but
heavy things, which were soon i'm
proved upon by American makers.
Schools for teaching learners to ride
were quickly opened; and that of
Frank Pearsall, the well-known New
York photographer, was perhaps the
first of these. His school was on the
corner of Broadway and Twenty-sec-
Odd street. Together with his brother,
he turned out upwards of three hun
dred well-taught riders within two
months. Three months later nearly
fifty bicycle schools thrived in New
York and Brooklyn. These schools
We'd one with the other in high-sound-
ing names. One was the "Amphicy-
clotheatrus," another, the "Gymnocy-
cidium," etc. The cost of tuition
was fifteen dollars each; but this
amount carried with it the right to use
velocipede and to practice in the hall
for one month.
