laws Of the islands not enacted for the
fulfllment of treaties and not inconsistent
with the joint resolution or contrary to the
its treaties remain in force, yet these laws
relate only to the social and internal af-
fairs of the islands. and do not touch many
broader national character. For example,
the Hawaiian republic was Invested of all
title to the public lands in the islands and
settlers desiring to take up homestead
sites, but is without power to give complete
title IN cases where lands have been entered
carry with them the right to the. pur-
chaser. lessee or settler to have full title
granted to him upon compliance with the
conditions prescribed by law or by his par
tcular agreement OF entry.
Difficulties Encountered.
Questions Of doubt and difficulty have
also arisen with reference to the collection
OF tonnage tax on vessels coming from Ha-
william ports; with reference. to the status
OF Chinese in the Islands. their entrance
and exit therefrom; as to patents and copy
rights; as to the register of vessels under
the navigation laws; as to the necessity OF
provisions of the Hawaiian statutes for
the choice Of various officers. and as to
several other matters Of detail touching
federal government.
By the resolution Of annexation the pres
tdent was directed to appoint fve COM
legislation concerning the islands as they
should deem necessary or proper. These
commissioners were duly appointed, and
after careful Investigation and study of
the, system Of laws and government pre-
vailing In the Islands, and of the conditions
existing there, they prepared bill to pro.
vide a government under the title of 1.-THE
Territory of Hawaii" The report of the
commission, with the bill which they pre-
pared, was. transmitted by me to congress
on December 6. 1898, but the bill still awaits
final action.
The people OF these Islands are entitled
to the benefits and privileges of our con-
stitution. but in the absence Of any act
the islands. and for a procedure by which
appeals. writs of error, and other judicial
Of civil rights may be prosecuted. they are
powerless to secure their enforcement by
the Judgment of the courts Of the United
States. 1t is manifestly important, there
fore. that an act shall be passed as speedily
as possible erecting these. islands into a
judicial district. providing for the appoint
ment Of a Judge and other proper officers
and methods of procedure in appellate
proceedings and that the government OF
| this newly acquired territory under the
federal constitution shall be fully defined
and provided for.

PORTO RICO.
Time Is Ripe for Temporary Form of
Government for tho Island.

y
recommend that legislation to the same
end be had with reference to the govern
ment of Porto Rico. The time is ripe for
the adoption Of temporary form of gov
eminent for this island, and many sugges-
tons made with reference to Alaska are
applicable also to Porto Rico.
The system Of civil jurisprudence now
adopted by the people Of this island Is
described by competent lawyers who are
familiar with It as thoroughly modern and
scientific, SO far as 1t relates to matters
of internal business, trade, production and
social and private right in general. The
cities of the island are governed under
charters which probably require very lit
tie or no change. So that with relation
TO matters of local concern and private
legislation Is desirable; but with reference
to public administration and the relations
OF the Island to the federal government,
there are many matters which are of press
Ing urgency. The same necessity exists
for legislation on the part Of congress to
establish federal courts and federal juris-
diction In the island as has been previously
pointed out by me with reference to Ha-
wall. Besides the administration of Justice,
there are the subjects of the public lands;
the control and Improvement of rivers and
streams not navtgable, which, under the
Spanish law, belonged to the crown OF
Spain. and have by the treaty of cesson

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Reasons for the Orders That Have Been
Issued.

:"
Issued.
The executive order of May 6, 1896, exc
tending the limits OF the classified service,
brought within the operation. Of the civil
service law and rules nearly all of the
executive civil service not previously class
Some OF the inclusions were found wholly
Illogical and unsuited to the work Of the
several departments. The application Of
the rules to many of the places SO included
was found to result in friction and en-
barrassment. After long and very care
full consideration 1t became evident to the
heads of the departments responsible for
their efficiency that, in order to remove
and harmonious administration certain
amendments were necessary. These amend
meEts were promulgated by me in execu-
tive order dated May 20, 1893.
The principal purpose of the order was to
except from competitive exantnatton GER
tain places involving dduciary responsible
tiles or duties of a strictly confidential,
scientific or executive character, which It
was thought might better be filled either
discretion OF the appointing officer. than
by open competition. These places were
comparatively few In number. The order
provides for the filling of a much larger
number OF places, mainly In the outside
service of the war department. by what Is
known as the registration system, under
regulations to be approved by the pres
ident, similar to those which have pro-
duced such admirable results In the navy
yard service.

main object more efficient and satisfac-
