The Sentinel has been trying to get
expressions from members of the state

choice for United States senator. The

were fearful lest they miss the loaded

out squarely for Judge Webb, and

In my opinion, these qualifications
are exemplifed in Judge Webb, to a

Ways and Means Committee has any in
fiuence in the matter. Yesterday that
body. after hearing discussion on the
subject, decided to report "a bill extend
ing the customs laws of the United
States to the Hawaiian Islands and to
press its consideration.
Assistant Secretary Howell, of the
Treasury Department, appeared before
the committee and offered some sugges-
tions as to the best way of introducing
the system. He also read a letter from
Mr.. Sewall, the United States Treasury
agent at Honolulu. urging haste on the
ground that quantities of goods were
being imported into the islands in order
to be sent to the United States as scol
as that country became domestic r.
ritory. This practice, he urged, should
be stopped as soon as possible. Mr.. Sa-
wall evidently did not know that the
commissioners bill fer governing Ha-
waii provided that all goods taken to the
islands between July Z last, when the
islands were annexed. and the date Of
full assimilation, must pay the regular

TURKEY MUST SETTLE.
The Claims Of the United States VIII Be
Pushed.


Pushed.
Washington, Oct. 4.-The president has
decided to call upon Turkey to indem-
nifty American missionaries for the
damages sustained by their persons
and property as a result of riots during
the past three years. The Turkish
government recently announced that it
would pas none of the claims filed
against it by foreign governments for
injuries sustained by their citizens dur
ing riots which occurred in Armenia,
and, when pressed for a specific answer
by former Minister Angel, disavowed
it's liability on the ground that every
effort had been made by Turkish Off
Gals to protect life and property.
1t was apparent that the porte had
no idea Of satisfying the claim Of the
United States. Secretary Hay imme-
diate1y upon his arrival in this country
had a conference with the president,
and decided that Turkey was liable for
the claims.
All instruction is being prepared at
the state department, at the instance
of the secretary, which will be sent to
Minister Stratus at once, and which
will require Turkey to make some set
tlement of the claims, or at least sub
NIT a proposition having their ultimate
settlement in view It is not known
whether the president will go as far as
the last administration did, in prepar-
ing plans for making a naval demon
stration in Turkish waters.
