HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.
TIE President Transmits to Congress the
Report About the Recently Ac-
uuired Territory.

Washington, Dec. THE president
Yesterday transmitted to the congress
the report of the Hawaiian commission,
consisting of Senators Cullom and Nor
gan, Representative Hit, President
Dole and Judge Frear, of Hawaii, to-
rether with the text of the bills drawn
bv the commission for the government
of the islands as a portion OF the
United States. The preliminary por-
ton of the report is mainly descriptive
of the Hawaiian islands, the inhao-
itants, the existing institutions, the
public domain, productions, climate,
harbors and shipping facilities and
various conditions of general interest.
The remaining portion is mainly de-
voted to the discussion of the legisla-
ton proposed by the commission, CIV
ing in the appendix the various reports
of subcommittee and copies OF the
bills suggested.
Three bills are formulated for the
consideration of congress. The hrst
and principal one outlines general
plan of government and the other two
deal with subordinate questions. OF
the main bills, the commissioners eX-
press the opinion that it will prove TO
be such a measure for the govern
ment OF the Hawaiian islands as Will
best promote the interests OF their
people at the same time that 1T pro-
notes the interests and maintains the
sovereignty of the people of the United
States"
Probably the most important por-
ton of the bill is the section dehn-
ing citizenship, which provides that
'saIl white persons, including Portu-
ruese and persons of African descent,
and all persons descending from the
Hawaiian race, on either the paternal
or maternal side, who were citizens OF
the republic of Hawaii Immediately
prior to the transfer of the sovereignty
thereof to the United States, are here
bv declared to be citizens of the
United States"
