The people who have improved
the public land purchased or ex-
changed through local officers
certainly have right to be heard
which the President viii not re-
fuse, and it is not probable be will
peremptorally declare them tres
passers and order them of the land,
as was contemplated by the local
officials in their unauthoriz I'd as
assumption of power over those
citizens who simply made the
claim that the Hawaiian govern
ment cannot dispose Of our public
lands. 1t Is fair to presume from
the tenor Of the Attorney Gene
re!'s opinion that the President
will not give or copfrm any title
to land given by Hawaiian officials
since the Annexation Resolution
was passed but will turn the in.
nocent purchasers with the squat
ters ever to Congress.
But let the officials criticise the
President as they will, the
fact remains that all sales, leases,
and transfers Of public land by
the Hawaiian officials are stop
ped. No sales, leases or transfers
OF public lands of Hawaii can be
made by the Hawaiian officials or
anyone else until Congress shall
enact laws for the disposition OF
those lands.
1t the Hawaiian officials can
gain prestige with the President
by condemni his action-as
they have done through their
organ - before he is "fully in
formed" by their agent, they are
welcome to all that comes to them.
That the President will do all in
his power to lessen whatever
hardships may suffered by the in
com petence of local authorities is
beyond the question of a doubt.
The people of this territory have
this confidence in the President.
1t would have been Fortunate bad
the official compact in the Govern.
ment building accepted the pub
lie lard order in the same spirit.

THE LAND ORDER DEFENSE.

The BULLETIN would be remiss

TRANSACTIONS made by the Hawaii

rage may iuAame the heart of the
local officials, it is to be regretted
that the expression of this feeling
should be set forth on the pages
of their authorized mouthpiece as
representing the view taken by
the people of Hawaii outside the
particular friends of the officials.
Il is fortunate that upon second

George L. Carmen, superintendent OF the
Western Weighing association. with head
quarters at Chicago, spend yesterday in the
city and inspected the facilities for weighing
live stock On December 1 the railroads
commenced charging for live stock handled
at cents-per- hundred pounds instead of dol
lars per-car. Two years ago when the
same plan was tried, large railroad scales
were erected on the Union Pacific tracks
near the L street viaduct. Since the re-
sumption of weighing these scales have been
reopened and are in constant use. The
Union Pacific, Rock Island, Northwestern,
Milwaukee Elkhorn and Missouri Pacific
roads weigh over these scales while all
stock handled by the Burlington is weighed
at the Y in the northwest part of the yards.
All the railroads are now interested in the
Western Weighing association, which has
supervision Of all Weighing. One reason
for the abandonment of the plan two years
ago was because the railroads were not
united in the matter and the weighing of
live stock was not one OF the duties of the
association. Now each road is interested
and is treated impartially by the joint associ-
alton. Since December l the association
force here has been doubled and twenty men
are employed. Ten men are engaged in
weighing stock, while two inspectors of the
association are detailed for duty at each
packing house.
The new plan Of weighing has greatly in
creased the amount of switching done and
at present there is some little delay in de-
livoring stock to the yard company. 1t is
thought that everything will be running
smoothly in short time and that there
will be no cause for complaint. Cents per-
hundred pounds instead of dollars per car
increases the revenue of the railroads, as in
a majority of instances the tariff on ship
ments is raised. While railroad men admit
that it costs more to ship stock now. they
assert that shipments reach the yards in
better condition than formerly, as there is
less overlooking and consequently fewer
cripples. When a shipper hired car he
loaded it to it's full capacity and On
account of this overloadng animals were
frequently injured in transit. Now, when
stock s paid for by weight, there is no
excuse for overlooking and fewer cripples
are received

Three strikers Arrested.

| No. 1 mine at Diamondvlle was in oper-
alton today with about the same force as
yesterday few, II any additional men pre-
senting themselves for work. Three Of the
leading strikers, McAllster, Rcss and Gasp
ard were placed under arrest this afternoon,
charged with threatening to commit murder
and intimidating the working miners.
Joe Cutler, a correspondent of the Des-
eret News of Salt Lake was also arrested.
Cutler is alleged to have sent his paper the
sensational dispatches which stated that
Sheriff Wards deputies were setting a bad
example for the awabiding people of Dia-
mondville by riding up and down the streets
Of the town yelling and shooting off their
guns to ntmidate the citizens and make
an impression on the strikers. The facts
in the case are that nothing of the sort
was done and that strict order has been
maintained since the arrival at the coal
camp of deputies. 1t is announced that
the strikers and Cutler will be prosecuted
vigorously.
Manager White OF the coal company left
this morning for Montana, presumably for
the purpose of securing more men, as those
at the camp who are willing to return to
work evidently dare not do so for fear of the
strikers.
