DUBIOUS AND DOUBTFUL
TERMS APPLIED TO STATUS IN
HAWAII.
The Damon Matter Brings Strikingly
To Public Attention The Need OF
Legislation for the Islands.

Special Corr espondence of the Star.
CHICAGO, November 1S,-The Inter-
Ocean publishes the following from it's
Washington correspondent:
The question of legislation by Con-
gress affecting the government of the
Hawaiian Islands has been made pro-
minent by the fact that President Nc
kinley has refused to accept the re-
signation of Mr.. Damon, the Hawaiian
Minister of Finance. 1t is being said
now that the United States should as
soon as possible provide a definite
form of government for the islands,
the authority of which could not be
questioned. The necessity of this is
urged especially on account of the
judiciary of the islands, which at pre-
sent occupies a rather doubtful posi-
tion.
The stat Is of Mr.. Sewall, who though
formerly Minister, is now designated
as special agent of the United States
government, is cited as an instance of a
Federal official occupying a position of
dubious functions and authority.
Senator Cullom holds that the people
of Hawaii were placed in an embar-
RAISING position by the act of annexa-
ton to the United States, and that it
is the duty of Congress to extricate
them as soon as possible by giving
them a system of law under which the
islands can be governed.
There are Senators and Representa-
ties Who are inclined to agree with ex-
speaker Reed that the constitution is
very elastic, and that Congress can
proceed to legislate without taking
too seriously the letter of that instru-
inent. They believe it is the duty of
Congress to proceed to the work that
is in hand and ready for action. They
believe that Hawaii and Porto Rico
are 1y fol the extension of some
part of our law, and that Congress
can give them such measure of legis-
lation as will suit their needs and such
measure of self-government as they
are capable of. They do not admit that
the legislation for Hawaii and Porto
Rico need be the same or that either
will necessarily establish a precedent
for legislation in regard to the Philip
pines or for Cuba if that island should
in the future be annexed.

MARSHAL BROWN 5 VIEWS
DRIVING ON WRONG SIDE OF
THE ROAD.
Police are not to Blame for Violations
OF the Law-No Penalty Connected
With the offence.

Complaint is made against the prac-
tice of vehicles in violating the law by
taking other than the right of the road
and blame is laid on the police for not
enforcing the law. OF the matter
Marshal Brown says
The law expressly provides that
vehicles must take the right of the
road and must pass other vehicles to
the right Put there is no penalty
provided and what is the police officer
TO do? lie may catch man driving
on the left of the road and correct him:
the man can tell him to go to blazes
or anywhere else, and the officer is
absolutely powerless.
The police have some slight control
of hacks and other licensed vehicles
under d section of the carriage law, a
rule pres cribiEg that drivers shall obey
all orders of the police. But a hack
sight and commit the offence again and
Keep on repeating it. 1t would take a
thousand policemen to enforce a strict
obedience to the law
THE present law was passed under
the old monarchy, many years ago
when there were few vehicles in Ho-
nolulu. 1t was framed, in my opinion,
to establish the civil status of the
parties in event of accidents At that
time the present congested condition of
the streets end present requirements
were not thought Of
The only way to ensure a proper
enforcement of the law is by pres
cribing penalty. This must be done
eventually and it should not be post
poned longer than the coming session
| of the legislature. Give us a penalty
and we will do the rest in the matter.
OF course the police do everything
that is wrong, in the minds of many
people, but sometimes they are hardly
reasonably to blame, as, for instance,
in this matter"

LAND ORDER REAFF|RNED
ATTORNEY GENERAL GRIGGs
OBSTINATE.
Will Not Recede an Inch From Former
Oplnion-Situation is Serious-Tele-
gram From Judge Hartwell.

Attorney General Griggs adheres to
his former opinion, in re, public lands
of Hawaii, in every particular. He de-
clines to concede a single point, and
recommends to President Mckinley ac-
cordingly.
The news arrived by the Nippon
Maru on Saturday in a telegram from
Judge Hartwell.
Judge Hartwell recommends that
President Dole and Justice Frear pro-
ceed at once to the American capital
This will not be done, however, as
the Government does not consider the
move advisable at this time. The next
work will be in Congress.
The situation is now just where it
was when the Government received
McKinley's famous proclamation. In
structions on the new decision are
doubtless now on the way to Honolulu

A SOLDIER FIGHT.
Affair of Saturday Night That Called
for Police Raid.

Saturday evening soldiers started a
fight among themselves on Nuuanu
street, but the battle was nipped by
the timely arrival of the mounted po-
lice. 1t appeared that one man was
the casus belli, and his comrades Of
satisfied and the crowd dispersed.
At the waterfront, however, the bel
ligerent boy in khaki turned Napoleon

then started in to "do Russia, or rath-

police outside. He was locked up and

believe American institutions are the
freest and best in oil the world. They
love the flag because it typifes those in
situations; love it because it calls up
memories Of Bunker Hill and Valley
Forge aud Yorktown, and all that long
struggle against British oppression in
the interests Of self-government.
And the patriotism OF the American
people is best attested when they object
to the degradation OF their flag aud the
abandonment Of their institutions. Mr..
Mckinley may rest assured that the
patriotism will neither lsnguish nor die.
They will be true to the flag even though
they be confronted with the necessity Of

consent to the flags degradation from

Officers criticise the advance movements
OTIS is now making and then withdraw

Gen. Otis refuses 70 recognize through

room. The first reserve hospital is in
bad shape. Hundreds of sick are lying

extreme need of more was impressed on

The failure to erect or provide
