EMBARRASSMENT TO TRADE.
Uncertain and Imperfect Governmen t
of Newly Acquired Territory.

The State Department is greatly embar-
raised in dealing with the numerous and
important questions that are arising almost
daily growing out of the abolition of the
old consular service in the newly acquired
colonies, without replacement. Up to this
point the greatest difficulty in dealing with
these questions has been imposed upon
other countries. For instance. in the case
of the consuls representing European pow
ers in Cuba they have generally been I'M
able to discharge the function of their con-
sular offices. Though this has been simply
inconvenience in Il good many cases in
others il has proved to have been a most
serious obstacle to the conduct of trade.
Some governments are absolute in their
requirements that incoming shipping shall
be equipped with the certificates of cOnsuls
at the port of departure and it is mani
festly impossible for the consuls to issue
these in the absence of an exequatur from
the government or power controlling the
island
This state Of affairs has principally, up
to this point. affected foreign shipping in
JuriOuSly but now has come the turn of
the American shippers. Recently applica-
ton was made by the master of an Ameri
can vessel TO United States Consul Wild
man at Hong Kong for clearance to the
island Of Cebu. one of the Philippine group.
Now. the island was certainly not Span
Ism possession at the time. Spain having
reiiGquiSaed sovereignty over it along with
the others Of the group; it was not a for
eiSn possession. nor was it yet legally at
tached To the United States in advance of
the ratification of the peace treaty. So the
consul was Obiged 10 decline to issue d Ger
tifCate. and as no one else was empowered
to do 50, the vessel must forego her trip,
unless the officials here take a different
view Of the matter As the decision in the
case will undoubtedly have a considerable
effect upon prospective valuable trade
with the Philippines, ii is watched with
some interest.
In the case IF the foreign Consuls station
ed in Cuba the Treasury Department. after
endeayor!Hg to cCncOCt some form of exc
qUajur that would suffice to meet the tenn
p0rary emergency. has been obliged to call
upon the Attorney General for his advice.

CAUSES INDICATION.
Consolidating of Two-Word Post
Office Names.

Some years ago the Post Office Depart
meat created d board of geographic
names, - with the object Of simplifying the
names of post offices and bringing about
more uniformity in their spelling.
one OF the rules adopted by this board
was that where a post office consisted of
two names they were to be consolidated.
Several attempts have been made recently
10 carry this rule into operation, but each
attempt has been met with such storms of
disapproval on the part of the residents Of
the place that the department has been
sCrely troubled as 10 just what to do. The
post office at Friars' Point Miss, was
changed recently 10 FriaIpoint. When the
people learned of the change there was
much Indignation, and the department was
flooded with protests West Point for in
stance. has been changed to 'Wesrpoint.' -
The people near the Military Academy OBJ
Ject very streuuOUsly to this change.
In recent years the compilation of the
Postal Guide shows many changes in line
with this rule. There is much contention
over the matter, and it may be that an
other board Will shortly be appointed 10
adjust the subject.

HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT BILL.
Agreement to Report Reached by til
House Committee on Territories.

Agreement to Report Reached by the
House Committee ON Territories.
The House committee on territories late
yesterday afternoon reached a final agree
ment to make favorable report on the
Hawaiian bill. The agreement to report
was unanimous, although the democrats
of the committee reserved the right to
make a minority report opposing several
features of the bill. The drafting of the
majority report was left to Chairman Knox,
who will take several days before pre-
senting the bill and report. He said later
that no plan had been considered yet for
getting the measure before the House, al
though he expressed confidence that it
would pass at the present session.
AS agreed upon the bill is in all essential
features the bill submitted by the Ha-
Waifan commission, although changes have
been made to conform to changes already
made by the Senate committee, and also
as TO the result of the discussion before
the committee, covering more than a
month. Most of the Senate amendments
are agreed to, the purpose being to have
the legislation in both houses conform as
far possible.
In addition to these, section 25 of the
commission bill is struck out. 1t provided
punishment of persons guilty Of disrespect
or offense against the legislative bodies of
Hawaii. Another change, not made by the
Senate, is the striking out of section 10,
for an investigation of the land laws of
Hawaii. The qualifications of electors, rep
resentatives and senators, which have been
subject to much discussion, are arranged
so that no limitations are placed on ad-
MISSION TO the house, while the qualifica-
tlon OF senators and electors of senators
are $l,ooo of property or 5000 income.
The minority report will be directed
qualification and against life terms for the
judiciary.
