HA"AIIANS ARE DIVIDED.
One Faction FavOrs Restoration of
Former Queen LiIinokaIani


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September 21-
The steamship Alameda arrived today
from Australian points via Honolulu Ad-
vices from the latter place. under date of
September IA say that the congressional
commissioners finishing their work and
I expect to leave for Washington on Septem-
Der 23.
The commissioners are now being deluged
with petitions and memorials from the ma
i've Hawahans. The sentiment of the ma
tiVes appears to be divided One faction
desires tne restoration of the queen, while
the other accepts the new order of affairs
and asks for certain rights under the new
form of government.
The natives who favor restoration held a
mass meeting on September l. and adopt
&c a memorial, which was presented to the
commissioners. The me mortal alleges that
the annexation treaty has failed, and the
Joint resolution is ineffective because it was
not passed by the people of the Hawaiian
Islands or the representative of the legisla-
ture. The memorial CONCLUDES by asking
that the constitutional government of JaE-
Iary 10, 1896 be restored under the protec-
ton of the United States of America.
Among the speakers at the mass meeting
was Robert w. Wilcox, the revoutionist
who few weeks ago took the oath of al
lesiance in order to qualify himself for a
full pardon for past misdeeds
Pointing to the United States flag over
the government building. he said:
1T Is useless to say that the flag over
there will not come down again. Il was
put up before and it came down. 1t will
be shown that the annexation vote was
carried through by handful of foreigners.
IF America loves us, why We're not IIa-
waiiaDs placed on the commission? We are
not represented there. The next thing we
shall not be able to VOTE.
The other faction of Hawaians has also
presented memorial 10 the commission
This memorial asks for a territorial form of
government with full rights for the natives
and permission to make appropriations for

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK
Land Commissioner Hermann Fayors Doub-
ling Its Area.
Addition of Forest Reserve is Recom-
mended in His Annual Report
observations on His Trip.

one or the recommendations in the an
f.iIaI report of the commissioner of the
general lf.nd office, Mr.. Binger Hermann.
which is now bsing prepared, will be the
enlargement of the boundaries of the YeI-
iowstone National Park. Mr.. Hermann
las just returned from an official tour
through the west, and during his absence
in addition to visiting the various land
offices he also inspected the national parks
and gave special attention to the forest
reserves. The southern portion of the
park. with the exception OF the western
side, is bounded by forest reserves 1t is
proposed to make the wooded section along
a portion of the western side also forest
reserve and then ask the authority of Goa
gress to include the entire area within the
limits of the park
The park now contains about 800 square
mics, and If the proposed addition is made
its size will be doubled. 1t is the opinion
or Mr. Hermann as well others who
have given the subject any thought, that
the domain of the park can be Increased
with advantage, as it would insure the
close supervision OF the United States army
over the entire region, as is the case with
the park today.
Preser, alton of Forests.
Owing to ths fact that here is what is
called the continental divide, and that the
missouri ana Other rivers have their origin
here. the preservation of the forests assume
great Importance. The protection from fire
and other dangers which menace the life
of the trees would be, 1t is thought, more
complete under the proposed conditions
Then. again. the steadily dwindling herd
of bufalos in the park range beyond its
bounds through this country, and when
the animals get outside they can be shot
without violation of law. But if this ter
ritory is made a part of the park then the
roaming grounds of the buffalo would be
protected. There are other reasons which
influence the commissioner In making this
recommendation and they will be luly set
forth in his forthcoming annual report.
Mr.. Hermann expresses himself as being
highly pleased with the manner III which
the law in regard to forest reserves is be-
ing carried out. The work was inaugu-
rated. he said. rather late, owing to the
fast that the appropriation did not become
available until July of this year. He be-
Geves, however, that the force of rangers
now in charge of the various forests re-
serves will be able to do effective work in
protecting the forests from the ravages
of fire and from other dangers.
He noticed a decided change in the pub
forest reserve law, and now that it is
understood the purpose of the law is to
protect the V ater supply and not to inter-
fere with mining rights and the rights of
the settlers, the sentiment of the west is
strongly in favor of the law and the set
ting apart of additional reserves.

motion was seconded by Mr.. Fowler
and carried, Messrs. Denney and Walls
voting against the motion. Council
man Denney said he would not favor it
unless they treated the Bitter Hosiery
Manufacturing Company on the same
basis. At this remark, Councilman
Fowler arose and moved that if a metre
be placed in the Prettyman Factory at

should also be placed in the Bitter fac
tory on the same basis. The latter
motion was carried unanimously. The
matter was left at the discretion of the

On behalf of the Board of School

that the Town Council clothe the iani-
tor of the Public School with the

better preserve the order of the school
grounds and care for the school prop
erty. There being no objections, he
moved that Alderman Collins be au-

vester, janitor, as special police of the

rled unanimously.
Councilman Walls moved that all

ADDIcKs MEN CoNFIDENT.-All the

ton that the coming Legislature will
elect only one Senator. Just how the

appear to be confident that Mr.. Ad
dicks will be chosen United States
Senator. The drift of opinion in the
lower counties among the Union Re-
publicans is that Mr. Addicks deserves
the position simply because he has led
the Union Republicans to victory. 1t
seems to be conceded that when the
Legislature meets, Mr.. Addicks will
have considerably more votes than any

already claim that he has enough to
