Congress next II the Griggs order is

Another conflict OF political powers

result of the resignation OF Minister Of

successor in accordance with apparent in

succeed Damon, is filling the duties OF
the office. Meanwhile the citizens OF
Hawaii are waiting very 2pxiously for
the meeting Of Congress and hoping for
action 20 straighten out the strange COM

10 give the islands a territorial form OF
government. President Mckinley was
duly notified OF The appointment Of L-ans-

Eight per cent is the dividend they now receive regularly though earnings run ming beyond such rateihave provided ex, tra clsh disbursements more than once.
