bill to extend the commerce, navi-
cation and merchant seamen laws
over the Hawaiian Islands.
Hopkins (R.) of Illinois, who
questioned Payne regarding the
limits of the measure, was asked
whether the act Of annexation did
not extend the laws of the United
States over the Hawaiian Islands.
He replied that the Supreme court
held that it did not. He wanted
to know in turn of Payne how far
the bill went. The latter replied
that it related simply to the navi
cation laws. 1t extended the laws
Of July Z, 1898. 1t was necessary
to pass this bill, as the act Of an
nexation provided distinctly that
the laws of the United States
should not by virtue of it extend
over the islands.
Payne agreed to an amendment
limiting the operation of the reg
istry section OF the bill to those
who owned vessels registered tenn
porarily or permanently under the

School Appropriations.
Rapid Payments Being Made at The State
Treasury.

State Treasurer Beacon is rapidly
distributing the school appropriation
on warrants from the school depart
ment and his distribution has given
very satisfactory results so far. The
new method of apportionment seems
to be regarded by country and city
districts alike as the most equable that
has been devised. Philadelphia
county gets the largest slice out of the
appropriation of any single district,
over 100000 going into the Golfers
of the Quaker City board of education.
OF this amount all but $4,000 has
been paid. The receipt from taxes on
State corporations have not swelled
the treasury's funds as much as had
been expected and the prompt pay
ments on the school appropriations
will bring the balance on hand at the

Food Commissioner Wells at Work.

State Food Commissioner Wells, at
present in Pittsburg, said to an inter
viewer in that city the other day: II
have been gathering preservatives OF
meat in different parts of the State,
which l have been forwarding to our
state chemists at Harrisburg to be
analyzed. We are satisfied that chem
icals are being used by nearly all the
large meat houses of the country, and
after we make a complete investiga-
ton as to what chemicals are being
used the matter will probably go into
the hands of the Attorney General"
If the evil exist upon national scale,
as the Commissioner apprehends 1t
obviously calls for national treatment.
The Attorney Gen. at Harrisburg may
have a duty in the matter, but the
higher would seem to rest with the
Attorney General at Washington
