KLONDTKE KING
 IS INSOLVENT
Mcdonald, Who Sprang from
 Pauper to Millionaire,
STARTS TO DIGGING AGAIN
When He Married in London in Febru- ary His Wealth Was Variously Estimated At From Ten
 to Fifty Millions

San Francisco, August 11.-Alexander Me- Donald. king of the Klondike, has failed. His liabilities are estimated at $6,0eO,00o. His assets are of uncertain value
 After knowing for two years what it is to be a millionaire many times over, he has shoudered his pick, and without com blaming, has started again as poor miner, leaving his bride in Dawson with a score of creditors for whose benefit all his inter- ests both mining and trading, have been assigned
 In his formal declaration of insolvency filed at Dawson July 29, Mcdonald states his liabilities to be approximately S,OOO'O0O while there is no way of fully computing his assets, as his Investments are of large- ly problematic value. As they will have to be sacrificed. Mcdonald himself says there will not be enough to go around, although he believes their ultimate value will prove $2o, 100 at least He is not at all disheart- ened at his change of fortune. Indeed he appears relieved
 Its too much worry" he declares, ito be millionaire"
 Mcdonald was one of the first, as well as one of the most fortunate, of the KIon- dike pioneers.
 His bride, an English girl, almost 20 years his junior, looks at the situation with phil osophical fortitude. She says she is quite satisfied so long as he keeps his health and courage.
 When Mcdonald married Margaret Chis- holm in London February last, his wealth was variously estimated from $10,000,0OO to five time that sum. Mcdonald passed through Tacoma last October en route from Dawson City to London, and it was stated then in various dispatches that he carried with him for expense money fully s2,OOOO0O. It was also related by the press that four years ago he passed through Tacoma prac- dcally penniless, headed for the Klondike, with the avowed purpose of pulling out his stake"
 When Mcdonald went to England a few months ago to organize a syndicate to con trol the transportation and provision busi- ness of the far north he left his affairs in the hands of incompetent agents. On his return creditors made demands which he could not meet. Before going to the klon- dike Mcdonald prospected in Colorado.

\ barrel of lime placed in such "a po-

structive fire at Honoipu a few DAYS
ago. The warehouse of r. X. Hind
was destroyed together with the cable
leading TO the landing and a valuable
cargo unloaded only d few days before.
The aggregate loss will easily foot M
oyer $4,000. Seventy-five tons OF fer
tiliZer, 500 bags of sugar and 400 cases
of kerosene We're also destroyed. When
the Waterman first smelt the fire he
dashed bucket of water upon the
place whence the smoke was arising.
This increased the difficulty as the bar
rels containing the lime burst into
flames, igniting a quantity of oil stored
near by. There was no insurance on

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE
CONSTITUTION.

In another place is published an in
teresting letter from Mr.. +. VI. Hatch
on the constitutional question. He does
not agree with the Advertiser in it's
construction Of Senator MOTgan's re-
snarks on the subject. When Senator
Morgan said that there existed in these
Islands AN imperium in imperiO
of it's sovereign powers of govern
ment," the language and the idea
seems to exclude any superior power.
There can be no sovereignty subject
to the Constitution for if it is subject
TO it it cannot be sovereign. The
states are sovereign because they have
expressly retained their sovereignty,
while yielding up for the common good
certain powers.
Senator Morgan is unreservedly com
united to the proposition that the act
OF annexation carried with it the right
of Hawaii to all the privileges which
have been heretofore granted TO any
territory.
lawyer, knows the difficulty of con-
STRUNG the simple authority given to
Congress to make needful rules and
regulations respecting the territories"
does not determine at what moment
the Constitution applies. The vague
ness itself, the utter, failure to indi
cate that the territories have any
rights, put lawyers and judges at sea
in the matter.
If the Constitution is now in opera
tion here, the paper money of the gov
eminent is worthless. Section ten of
the Constitution provides that mo
State shall emit bills of credit" Here
is a territory which is emitting bills
of credit every day, in the circulation
of it's Treasury notes. If the COnsti-
tuition prevails, it is gross violation of
it's provisions, and any law of Congress
adopting or re-enacting any municipal
law of Hawaii which allows the issue
and use of paper money is clearly I'M
constitutional. Much more may be
said ON the subject

THE LABOR QUESTION.

The failure of the planters to get
the consent of the Italian government
to the emigration of labOrers from
Italy, does not prevent Italian emigra
tion to these Islands. 1t can be car
ried on, so far as the Italian govern
memt is concerned, with the same free
dom as it carried on to the Mainland.
Any one who is familiar with the
conditions of immigrant service is not
surprised at the attitude of the Italian
government. Before dependence should
have been placed on a favorable atti-
tude, careful investigation should
have been made of the regulations
governing Italian emigration to the
Argentine Republic and elsewhere.
The planters of these Islands will
obtain sufficient labor whenever they
seriously resolve to get it. Heretofore
a whistle for laborers has been an
swered by a rush of them. Whistling
is no longer a magic power. In order
to secure the necessary labor, a plan
must be thought out, and a deal Of alb
solutely correct information obtained.
This requires time, and the best brain
work The labor problem is a most
difficult one to solve, but it is capable
of solution. The foolish prOcrastina-
tion in tackling it, puts off the hour
of solution, and the entire sugar in
terest may have TO suffer a good deal
of tight squeezing before it really gets
to work.
