The capital contains nearly a third Of
the population and wealth of all the is-
lands. The mayor of Honolulu would
have been a bigger maj than the king.
Changes will undoubtedly be made by
the United States government in the
management Of Honolulu.
Dole himself is in favor of
the city a local government.
That is the difference between a mon
arch and q republican head of govern
ment. Mr.. Dole advocates local self
government for all districts containing
towns large enough to make it worth
while. The islands, we r to remem
Der, are divided into districts, as states
at home are divided into counties. A
town is officially the main settlement
in a given district. The local authority,
whatever it will be when congress de-
cides the matter, will therefore hold
jurisdiction over a district.
Through the kind introduction of DR..
Charles T. Rodgers, secretary of the
Hawaiian department of education, I
enjoyed the favor of a personal call on
President Dole himself. The executive
department and legislative halls now
occupy the stately building that used
to be the private residence of the colored
royalty. It was highly colored, too, if

chicago, Feb. pa throng which
filled the Auditorium to the doors this
afternoon attended the Union League
clubs Washington birthday observance.
The orator of the occasion was Hon.
W. Bourke Cochran of New York,
whose speech was an eloquent review
of the life and character of Washing
ton. The speaker referred but incident
ally to the question of the Philippines.
He declared that substantially the only
differences between public men and
parties on this question was difference
of opinion as to when and how self
government should be given to the peo-
pie Of the Philippine islands. The ques-
tion will be solved, he said. upon the
judgment, the hopes and the prayers
Of the whole American people. and such
a solution, he believed. would be con-
sistent with Justice and morality and
the highest interest Of civilization.
A feature Of the Auditorium meeting
was the singing of the star Spanglef
Banner" by the High school chorus.

League club gathered in the great BAN

held the clubs annual Washington
birthday banquet with Hon. w.
Bourke Cochran again speaking briefly
Stronger Than Men.
Rev. Hamilton Spencer and Prof. C.
Is. Adams of the University of Wiscon-
sin also spoke. Said Professor Adams:
Some one has said tendencies are
stronger than men, Certain it is that
we nave been brought into these new
relations without any deliberate pur-
pose concerning them, and we do well
perhaps to ask ourselves what are the
fundamental reasons of this unexpected
result. In the first place, the Anglo
saxon race has always and everywhere
been an expanding race This has not
been the result of deliberate fore
thought, but has come from a tenden-
cy that has seemed to be irresistible. It
was a kind OF English expansion that
brought colonists to America"
He then went on to follow the var
ious acts of expansion Of England of
the United States, which he said were
the results of that irresistible tendency.
He added: There are other tendencies
that have also been stronger than all
EFFORTS to resist them. One OF the most
remarkable characteristics of this age
Of steam and electricity is the tendency
toward combinations. OF course COM
binations have always existed. There
was the EAST India. company and there
was the American Fur company and
many others, long before people began
to talk vigorously about combinations
and trusts. One of the most conspicu-
GUS expressions Of this tendency has
been in the combinations Of labor or

New York, Feb. 22-Baron Julius
Reuter-. who is dying at Nice, was born
at Cassel in 1916. He was connected
with the electric telegraph system
from its earliest establishment. The
practical working of the telegraph in
1S49 between AK la Chapelle and Berlin
convinced him that a new era in cor
respondence had arisen, and in the for
mer town he established the first center
of an organization for collecting and
transmitting telegraph news, ais the va
rious telegraph lines were opened in
succession, and they were made sub
servient to his system, and when the
cable between Calais and Dover was
laid, in 1851, Reuter- transferred himself
and sons to London. Previous to the
opening of his office the leading London
papers had received scanty and incom-
plete intelligence, which was reproduc-
ed by the rest of the press, and Mr..

was the most bare-faced attempt to
burn down a building that has come to
notice for a long time.
At the hour mentioned, neighbors in
the vicinity of the B., A. & p. railroad
observed smoke issuing from the roof
of the story-and- a half brick dwelling
at 902 and 904 South Wyoming street
An alarm of fire was sent in and in
quick order the department was on the
ground. BY the time the flremen ar
rived the smoke was rising in large
volume from the roof and the fremen
quickly made their way to the attic,
which was found to be all in flames
Owing to the fact that there was no
draught, the firemen We're able to
subdue the flames in short order with
the hand chemicals.
When the fire was out and the fire
chief and his assistant gave attention
to the origin of the fire, they were as
founded at what they saw. A large
number of newspapers had been strewn
in semi-circular shape over the rafters
in the attic. Three lard pals filed
with coal oil and with kindling wood
sticking out of them We're stationed
one at either end of the semi-circle
and another in the middle. These had
been touched off and this was unques-
ii nably the way the fire started. But

ed, together with the tell-tale evidences
of the crime committed

An Opinion Rendered in the Chinese
Emigration Cases.

Emigration Cases.
Washington. Feb. 22,-Solicitor Gen
eral Richards has rendered an opinion
which has been approved by the at
torney general in which he holds that
the secretary of the treasury has au-
thority to admit to Hawaiian citizen
ship such Chinese persons as departed
therefrom under regulations Of the eX-
listing government, allowing them to re-
turn, but would be excluded by extern
sion to the islands of the laws and reg
ulations now operative within the Unit
ed States. After reviewing the history
of the legislation and the decisions of
the courts on the subject, the solicitor
general says in part:
AN alien resident is not an alien i'm
migrant. In our alien immigration acts
it has been held that an alien who has
resided in this country without becom-
ing naturalized and who departs with
the intention OF returning, is not to be
deemed an immigrant upon his return.
although he was an alien immigrant
when he first entered the country. APP
plying this wholesale doctrine to the
case submitted, the Chinese who under
the former government of the Hawaiian
islands became domiciled in the islands
acquired certain rights, among which
was the right to leave the islands for
a temporary purpose and to return.
Chinese laborers have for years been
absolutely prohibited from coming into
the United States, yet we permitted the
Chinese laborers lawfully within the
United States to leave this country for
a temporary purpose and to return.
Accordingly, in view of the manifest
injustice of interfering with a right in
cidental to lawful residence in the ISL
ands, the words no further immigra-
ton should be construed so as to APP
ply only to additional immigration
into the islands. namely, the coming of
Chinese into the islands for the first
time after annexation and not the re-
turn to the islands Of Chinese who have
a lawful residence there and are simply
exercising the recognized right of re-
turning. after a temporary absence to
their business and their homes"

SLE|GH|NG At ITS BEST
Slipping Was Never Better in
Butte.
BIG SPORT ON THE FLAT
Even the Streets Are Not Free From the
Speeding Idiot-Big Sleighing
Parties Are Now All
the Rage.

Sleighing was never better in Butte
that it is now and the speedway down
on the fiat is patronized to great ex-
tent by the lovers of a fast drive. They
also ride at a pretty stiff gait on some
of the streets of the city. The young
derelict never had a better opportun-
ity to square" himself with the
young lady he didn't treat to ice cream
when he last took her to the circus.
They take great delight in sleigh rid
ing in Butte-there is so much of that
popular informality about it. Straw
rides seem to have the call. Every night
there are four of five big sled loads
radiating from Butte, some to Nine
Mile, others to Crystal Springs and
some with no particular objective point,
just circutous, merry route. It's de-
lightful. These pleasure seekers don't
worry about the tenacity of winter or
the remarks Of the thermometer. They
form that part of the city's life which
is gay at all seasons of the year.
The big fur-lined carryall stops in
front of home, from which energies

other home temporarily loses its bright
light; then another and so on until the
big wagon box is full of laughing
spirits bent on having all that can be
extracted from the thick hide of Boreas
Away the party goes, the voices of the
sweet things harmonizing sweetly with
the notes of the clear ringing bells. The
route leads through a country where
rubbernecks live. The shouts of the
boys and girls awaken the old man in
his house and he pokes his head out of
the door. So does the woman of the
house, and the children crane their
necks in curious wonderment.
Rubber" shouts the party in con-
cert and the old folks close the door and
wonder if they ever did such a rude
thing.
Away out there. maybe at some
friends house in the country, the big
carryall comes to a stop. The door is
thrown open and the good old ruralists
beckon to their city cousins to hasten
to the fireside. The rustic of skirts and
the process of unwrapping creates a
stir in the room and scents the atrnos-
phere with a most desirable perfume
of a mixture of sachet powder and
fresh, cold air
The little incidents of the trip are re-
lated by the happy throng, after which
all hands repair to the big dining room,

real enjoyment of the evening has now

Supper, prepared by the best cook on
earth, is served. How delicious is
everything in their modest, unostenta-
tious arrangement. Who over drank
better coffee or tasted better cake? They
don't find things like this in the city.
There is a certain relish in everything
which is enjoyed only when trip to
the country is made.
The homeward trip is another grand
portion of the nights outing. There
is coupled with the desire to retire the
most agreeable impression of the out
ing. 1t is altogether grand, and how
few of Buttes people are fortunate
enough to enjoy things like this!

A Memorial Hall.

Washington, Feb 22.-To-day at the con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution much time was devoted to the
continental memorial hall project. The
report of Mrs. Shepard of Chicago, chair
man of the continental hail committee.
was read by Mrs. Lindsay of Chicago. The
report showed a balance in the fund of
SAC, 773.
AT the conclusion of the reading of the
report an opportunity was given dele
gates to make contributions to the fund,
personally or on behalf of chapters, with
the result that about $500 was added to
the fund in sums ranging from $1,000, of
which there were two, to IS each. The hall
will be located in this city.
