| CORRESPONDENCE OF the Associated TIooS-'
Honolulu, Sept y, via San Francisco
Cal, Sept. 2O-The Hawaiian commission
is holding daily sessions. but nothing is
given out for publication. The commission
will probably not leave for San Francisco
before September %.
Senator Margan in an interview, IS quoted
! as saying:
Il have always been in favor of state
government for Hawaii and am SO stu.
Speaking fer myself, however, and not Tor
the commission, am inclined TO think
that you will have only a territorial gov
eminent at present. You have not asked
for state government and 1 doubt very
much if the commission will recommend
one As the territory of Hawaii, you WILL
have your own legislature, OF when you
will elect the members. The territorial Of
fcers to be appointed by President Mchln-
lev will be a governor and secretary, two
district Judges, who will compose your su-
preme court. and a United States district
! attorney, whose duties are similar to those
of your attorney general. but who only
acts in cases in, which the United States Is
| interested, and United States marshal
who performs the same duties as your
present marshal, but only in United States
! business The United States will, OF course,
! take charge of the custom house and pos
| tai department, but in al lother matters
! you will be your own masters. You VIII
/ make youg own laws, subject to the APP
| prevail OF congress. The territory OF Ha-
vail has a great future before ii, and
with the increase Of population and busl-
ness that must come from annexation and
all that is implied by it, the road to state
hood cannot be a long one. The opening
| of the Nicaragua canal, an enterprise
which must be carried TO contamination
| in a very short period, will still further
advance the prosperity of the islands"
NATIVES CLING TO LII.
| A mass meeting of natives will be held
! this evening, when a resolution asking for
the restoration for Iilioukalani will be
adopted.
The Planters association has presented
| a memorial to the commission asking for
an extension of time, that they may be in
a position to regulate new labor condi-
| tons.
The Chamber of Commerce, in memo
rial, asks for a territorial form of govern
ment, while the bar association wants the
| judicial system of the islands to remain
unchanged.
Senator Cullom has announced that the
land laws of the United STATES do not apply
to the public lands of Hawaii. The Local
land laws remain in force. Mr.. Dole, fol
the time being, still signs as president
of the republic of Hawaii" and processe;
of court will run as heretofore.
Antoine Rosa, the well-known Hawaiiar
lawyer and ex-attorney general, died Sep.
TENDER 9, aged 43 years.

AS A MILITARY DISTRICT.
The Hawaiian archipelago is now The
district of Hawaii, Department of Cali
fornia- An order creating this district
dated September 1, has just been pro
mulgated by Major General Merriam. Tie
| order has no significance as to the civ!
government to be adopted here. and out
side it's military application has no further
significance than another indication ira
the Islands are part of the territory o
the United States, and are being treated
in exactly the same way -dat al lothe
territory of the republic is.
General Merriam leaves for San Fan
cisco today.
SPOILING THE HEATHEN.
The American soldiers in Hono'l,l a,
causing the good people Of this once peace
ful community much worry. Acts of van
dalism are becoming frequent, and Gen
eral King has issued orders for a court o
inquiry TO investigate alleged lawless act
committed by soldiers and TO assess tn
amount OF damage done. Chinese fruit
growers and vegetable gardeners hav
been favorite victims Of the soldiers an
their gardens have been raidod and de
| stroyed.
