Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, July 8.-The Legisla-
ture of Hawaii was prorogued at 6
o'clock last evening to the great relief
of the members and the greater salts
faction of the people. In viciousness Of
conduct in matters of vital interest to
the welfare Of the people it has trans
cended the efforts Of the worst legisla-
tive assemblies which preceded 1t in the
days of the monarchy, when personal
influences occasionally influenced legis-
lation but had the honesty to allow the
people to have a fair proportion Of the
profits emanating from the deals.
The fifteen Senators and fifteen Rep
resentatives elected by only 1917 votes
out of a population Of over 100000. of
whom 26, 600 are Hawaiians or part Ha
Waiians and 1900 Americans and Eu-
ropeans, represented themselves and
the interests they were elected to rep
resent. In their absolute certainty Of
obtaining annexation they have made
themselves ridiculous and obnoxious by
perversely working against the will Of
the people in every way and in pander-
ing to the pockets of the rich. 1t is
too difficult to select any good or bene-
good work that they have done, but the
following may be registered among the
objectionable faults they have COM
mitted
They have increased salaries from the
Ministers downward to an undue and
unnecessary degree, which the condi-
lions and circumstances of the country
do not justify, and created new offices
for experimental purposes on the eve
OF their retirement from office. The in
crease of salaries dates from January
/, so that the officials will have a sub
stantial sum with which to pay their

board bills should they be ousted from
office by annexation.
They have foully murdered the
bill introduced by Mr.. Gear to re-
peal the obnoxious penal clause of
the labor contract law; that bill
which they so faithfully promised
the people of the United States
should be triumphantly passed If
they would only vote for annexation.
When they found that the necessary
votes had been obtained they turned
around and tricked the people on the
last day Of the extra session by lay
ing the bill on the table at the be-
hest of their bosses, the planters.
But perhaps one of the most re-
markable incidents that has ever oc-
CURED in so-called respectable
Legislature took place in the throes
of it's suicidal agony yesterday.
That was the railroading through in
a very few minutes of the bill Of
Minister Cooper to amend the laws
relating to Chinese immigration. AS
I have already pointed out in this
correspondence this bill practically
permits unlimited and unrestricted
Chinese labor immigration and I'M
less some action is promptly taken
by the United States Chinese labor
ers will within the next few months
be focking in by the thousands.
Another bill which was railroaded
through on the same afternoon in a
most extraordinary manner was the

to answer the petition OF his wife Sarah
Tiringhast Potter for an allowance
and counsel fees. though the latterpart
OF the petition was not pressed today.
Mrs. Potter last July began divorce

the pendency OF the petition was quite
a factor in the defeat of Mr.. Potter
for reelection as milk inspector a few
weeks ago. The petition for divorce is
contested and Mr.. Potter's friends say
now when the charges were used, un-
fairly as they think against him, that
the charges made i'm the petition can

Mrs. Potter testified hat she was mar
ried TO the respondent April D, 1895,

request TO Rutland, Mass. DIR. Cham
berlain of that place told her that ow-
Ing to the feeble condition OF the infant
a wet nurse was needed, and Dr. Cham-
berlain advised that the infant be kept
on the wet nurse until IL weighed IL
pounds. 1T now weighed nine POUNDS,
and on her return to this city DR.. Whit
marsh had said that the child must De
kent TO the nurse even longer. FUR
ther statements made by Mrs. Potter
were 10 the effect that after she went
TO Rutland. her husband removed ev-
erything out OF their home. that she
had TO pay 81 a week to a girl 10 take
care of her Oldest child and $40 week
to the wet nurse, that she had seen
check TO her husband OF $3.50 that ne
said was a months rent OF his prop
erty. that her husband paid $500 year
house rent, that he was taxed Tor $S4, :
600 and that just before the election OF
milk inspector I'm 1897, her huspanu
told her that II he failed to be re-elect-
ed they could live in the same style
as they had been accustomed. MRS.
Potter gave a description OF her nus
bands affairs i'm which she made hlm
out pretty prosperous. She asked sSo
a week for her support or herself ana
two children.
b.. Potter. brother of the respon-
dent. who is n real estate broker. and
has charge OF the former inspector =
business, testified that his brothers IN
come from the property that was fuiiy

and Gardner. who represented Mr.. Pot
ter claimed that his client was willing
TO give his wife all that was needed, as
far as he could. and offered to give her
SIS a week.

Potter, argued that his client absolute
| ly needed $780, Judge Rogers continued

Grace at Newport.
WAS LONG A SUFFERER.
Afflicted With Paralysis aud Then
Met With Accident.
rwHNIY-NlNH YEARS A RECTOR

Rev. Philip Grace, ID. D., pastor OF
st. Mary's church. Newport, for ~
years, died yesterday afternoon In that
city. DIR. Grace was afflicted with a
paraiytic shock nearly a score OF years
ago. and since that time had been
great sufferer. During the early sum-
n,er this year he went to Rome. and on
his return met with an accident In New
York.
Since that time he had failed steadily.
Death came at 4:3o o'clock, and the end
was announced by the bell of st. Mary $
toiling out the number of years OF MS
life. ,
DR.. Grace was born in the town of
Castle Conner. county Kilkenny, Ire
land. in February. 1888, and began his
early studies under the Rev. DR.. Ryl-
ward. the priest of that village. In 1897
his family came to America, and he
began his studies at the Notre Dame
university, Indiana. His theological
studies were pursued at the Grand
seminary. Montreal. and ne was or
dained to the priesthood at Hartford,
Conn, in 1862.
He served as assistant pastor In st.
Joseph's cathedral, Providence, and
81. Peters Hartford. In the absence
OF Father Delaney OF st. Mary's, Paw
tucket he took charge. In 1865 he was
appointed to the charge OF St Ann >,

New London. and began the construc-
ton. OF a new church There. Al this
timeN st. Mary's, then known as the
Lady OF the Isle. was mortgaged Tor
practically its whole value, and 1t was
considered an almost hopeless task to
liquidate the debt. DIR. Grace assumed
the pastorafe and in 1884 had not only
paid on the debt on the church. but
had erected a convent, rectory and
q school building. He was the first
American priest to be raised to the dig
nifty of doctor OF divinity by Pope Lee
xiii, and a most notable 1ubilet
marked the occasion in 1879.
Bishop Harlxins went to Newport to-
day 20 personally make arrangements
for the funeral, which Will most likely
be on Monday, and Will be without
parallel in the diocese.
