They Have the Presidents views-A Terri

HONOLULU. Sept. 3. via San Francisco. Sent. 8.
The general frame and outline Of the form OF
governmental be recommended by the Annexa-
ton Commission have been decided upon.
There are yet many details to be worked out
and many questions to be settled. 1t has devel-
oped that the Congress members OF the COM
mission had important consultations with
President Mckinley before they left for Homo
lulu. and came here with pretty definite ideas
as to the wishes OF the Administration in re-
gard to the form OF government to be recon-
mended. It also appears that the results
Of the war have made them q much more i'm
portant body and have laid upon them far more
wlde-reaching duties and responsibilities.
They are to form q government for W
that will serve as q model for Porto Rico and
all other territory that may be acquired by the
United States az the result OF the policy OF ter
ritorial expansion.
What President Mckinley has impressed on
the Commissioner is the need OF q form OF
government for Territories whore the majority
Of the people are not Americans in training.

IuouSs anu ~ Iu0 bdu10 Jlle uuullt 4

they shall be fitted to receive It..
The commission, having Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Philippines In view. has determined to
make the form Of government conform as
nearly as possible to the usual Territorial Coy
eminent in the United States, giving local self
government, but keeping all real power In the
hands OF Congress and the National Admins
tration,
The Territorial form Is adopted as being In
accordance with American thought and tradi.
tion and gradually preparing for, Statehood
and an extension OF the municipal idea; :, or, In
other words. local self-Rovernment Is adopted
as affordinR a means OF restricting the suffrage
! &C that there will be q certainty that the whites
will rule, This restriction is q precaution
against the Japanese. who are already the
largest element Of the population,
The Governor will be appointed by the Pres
ident. The powers Of the Territorial LeRisla-
ture will be limited. The Islands will be d.
vided into municipal districts. All local affairs
will be under the control and direction OF the
authorities Of these districts. The general plan
Of government delegates to Congress most OF
the duties generally assigned to Territorial
officials. but leaves the matter in such shape
that more and more power may be delegated
to the people Of the Islands as they are fitted to
receive IL.
The Commissioners are q hard-working body.
They are bending every effort to conclude their
labors by Sept. 20 and leave for the United
States on the 23d.
