A GOVERNMENT FOR HAWAII.
Provisions OF the House Bill to Be
Reported Today.

bill providing a government for the
Territory OF Hawaii will be reported 10
the House today. by the Committee on Ter
ritories. 1t is drawn on the lines of the
bill OF the Hawaiian Commission. which
was favorably reported in the last Con-
gress. though the committee has amend
ed that bill in many particulars.
IT provides a form of government sim
liar to that enjoyed by the other Terri
tories. with Governor and Secretary to
be appointed by the President and Leg
islature and Delegate in Congress to be
elected by the people of Hawaii. An
amendment provides that the Governor
and Secretary shall be citizens OF the ISL
ands The committee also eliminated the
property qualification for members OF the
Senate. The bill extends the Constitu-
tion and laws OF The United States to the
Territory when applicable and extends the
internal revenue laws and customs laws.
thus permitting free trade between the
islands and the United States. The trans
actions under the Hawaiian land laws
since annexation are ratified and con-
irmed. subject 10 the approval OF the Sec
retary Of the Interior.
The report OF the committee will urge
the necessity for the early passage OF the
bill. The nature oil Tue temporary EDNtIH-
ment now in existence it says, is such that
il ought moi to continue longer than alb
solutely necessary. for ii had proved cum
bersome. expensive. uncertain, and made
ouate. and. in addition, has deprived the
people OF all power of local seif-goyern-
ment. Attention is also called to the grave
doubt concerning the power of the Ha-
waiian Government to grant franchises for
Industrial and commercial enterprises.
which doubt had in many respects brought
the business affairs of the islands to
standstill One of the vital needs for
prompt action on the measure was to give
the Hawaiian Legislature power TO deal
with the bubonic plague now raging in
Honolulu. which called for drastic measures
and the expenditure of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. In order 10 provide for
these expenditures and compensate the
owners of buildings which have been
burned in the effort TO suppress the pesti
ence it was proper and just that a Ter
ritorial Legislature be provided by Con-
yress with no unnecessary delay.
The report also calls attention to the
arge number of Japanese contract iaborers
which have been brought in to the islands
since annexation. the estimates being be-
tween Il coo and o. 900. Delay in extend
ing the contract labor laws to the islands.

OF the United States March S. 1850. Mr.
| Clayton instructed James B. Clay. Ameri-
can Minister at Lisbon. that the President
| would not refer the claims TO arbitration.
| He further instructed Mr.. Clay that shis
| answer would be sent by q man-of-war,
and that il. after waiting reasonable
time for the adjustment of the claims Of
the United States. none should be made,
he would demand his passports; but that
ne might await the decision of the Portu-
guese Government Tor twenty days, or
even longer If necessary.
Submitted to Arbitration.
The Conde de TOTAL replied, that yield
ing TO the force of circumstances and to
preserve the peace Portugal would pay GER
tain American claims. but would insist
that the General Armstrong claim should
be submitted TO arbitration. President
Taylor had died and Mr.. Webster had sue
ceeded Mr.. Clayton as Secretary Of State;
when this note was received on February
20, 1851. Mr.. Webster and Mr.. De Figan-
iere. the Portuguese Minister at Washing
ton, signed a treaty providing for the sub
mission of the General Armstrong claim to
arbitration. and Louis Napoleon. President
OF the French Republic. was chosen arbi-
traitor. Louis Napoleon decided that the
claim OF the United States against Portugal
had no foundation. holding that Portugal
was not responsible for a collision which
took place in contempt of her rights of
sovereignty, in violation of the neutrality
OF her territory" On August II. 1852. the
Senate adopted a resolution requesting the
President to lay before 1t all correspon-
dence touching the General Armstrong
case since President Folks message Of 1Si5.
Owing to the pendency OF the arbitration
no answer was made. but January "a, 1888.
the President communicated to the Senate
a copy OF the award and on February IS
the Senate made another request for the
correspondence. President Pierce trans
mitted report from Secretary Marcy.
saying that 1t was not deemed necessary
to make formal reply to the Senate reso-
luton. An interesting controversy be-
tween the President and the Senate en-
sued. On January 1854. Samuel c. Reid,
jr., presented to Congress a memorial
praying for an appropriation to pay to the
owners. officers, and crew of the brig or
their legal representatives. the amount OF
their losses. This memorial was referred
TO the Committee on Foreign Relations,
from which Mr. Slidell, on March 10, 1854.
made favorable report. Mr.. Perkins. on
May %. 1854. presented from the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs a favorable
report.
The bill was rejected in the Senate, but |
at the next session passed Congress and |
was referred to the Court of Claims for a |
report. Montgomery Blair. Solicitor Gen. |
eral. appeared against the claimants. Jus
tice Gllchrist delivered the opinion of the |
court, Justice Blackford dissenting. sus-
tanning the claim and directing that testi- !
mony be taken as to damages. The damage |
was fixed at $50. 139
This historic claim occupied the atten-
tion of the Forty sixth and Forty seventh
and became a law on May l, I
1852, without the Presidents approval.

shouting in the convention is over the

THE MONTANA ENQUIRY.
Hearings In the Bribery Case TO BE
Resumcd To-day.

The Montana Senatorial enquiry will be
resumed by the Committee on Privileges
and Elections of the s rate this morning
at 1915. This enquiry has been in progress
since January 5. 1t has taken wide
scope. being practically an investigation Of
politics as practiced in Montana. as much
as direct enquiry into the specific alle-
cations affecting Senator William A.
Clark. Many witnesses have been ox-
dmined, and large sum OF public money
has been spent II is thought likely that
the case may be concluded this week
II is said by those who have followed the
proceedings closely. that former Senator
Faulkner counsel in chief for Senator
Clark. has done all that he proposed in
his opening statemen: that he would do.
He declared that in the Senatorial contest
in Montana in 1899 the Democratic faction.
which stands sponsor for the charges
against Senator Clark. conceived the 'dea
of "springing upon the Legislature a pre-
tended exposure Of bribery and corruption
by presenting in open session a sum of
money, accompanied by the declaration
that it was received from the friends OF
Senator Clark for the purpose of debauch-
ing the members OF that body"
Mr.. Faulkner has proved TO the satis-
the Idea which was consummated in
1899. He presented witnesses to swear di
rectly to this but though the offer TO
prove has become a part OF the record.
yet the committee determined not TO hear
the testimony CO the ground that it was
too remote.
witness, whose standing was not ques-
toned, and who remained unshaken under
cross-examination. swore that before Sena
the character of a prophet and declared
that 'if Clark shows his head in that Leg
:slature or IL he is nominated, something
will be heard to drop which viii drive
Clark and his friends out OF the State"
Mr.. Faulkner. has brought forward many
witnesses who have testified that before
and after the meeting OF the Legislature
the DAILY political manipulators. with a
view 10 laying the foundation for thc
alleged exposure. nroclaimei through news
papers controlled by the DAILY faction,
that II WAS the purpose of Senator Clark
to secure his election through corruption
and bribery
One of the strong points which has been
emphasized by Air. Faulkner in his vigor-
GUS defence OF Senator Clark Is that in
the investigation by the Montana Legis-
lature, in which the inyc-tigating- commit
tee was composed entirly of .antl-ciark
Democrats. the names OF no men were
mentioned as having been approached cx-
ceptipg those OF Whiteside State Senator
Clark of Madison county. Myers. and Carr,
but that at Washington IL was set forth
that thiriy-eight members OF the Legisla-
ture had been bribed. Mr.. Faulkner has
proved that Of the four men mentioned as
having been bribed 10 vote for Senator
Clark. only one OF them. Carr really did
vote for him. and that he did SO for politi
cal and not pecuniary reasons.

DISSERTATION OF THE FLAG.
Legislation to BE Passed to Protect
the American Ensign.

The new bill to prevent the desecration
Of the American flag. which is now under
the favorable consideration OF both
branches of Congress. is the most COM
prehensiye OF the measures that have
been proposed in many years to preserve
the national emblem from sordid deface-
ment. No opposition has yet been mani
tested to its enactment. and Congress viii
probably bow to the great patriotic move
ment in its favor and place II on the stat
ute books. where today no legal punish
ment is provided for crimes against the
flag. and outraged Americans are forced
TO take the matter into their own hands
when their national ensign is misused.
The first section of the act provides that
any person or persons, corporation, or COM
pany who shall In any manner place gpon
or attach or to cause in any manner
to be placed upon or attached 10
the flag or coat OF arms Of the United
States. or. any imitation or representation
thereof. any advertisement. trade mark,
label. inscription. words. design or device.
or any representation % any person or
thing or who shall exhibit or display or
sell. or cause I'd be exhibited. displayed. or
sold. or who shall hold in possession for
exhibition. display or sale. the flag or coat
of arms of the United States. or any imi-
tatiOn or representation thereof. whereon
is placed or to which is attached any such
advertisement, trade mark. label. inscrip-
ton. words. design, or device, or any rep
resentation of any person or thing. shall
be demeed guilty of a misdemeanor.
The second section similarly prohibits
the use of representations OF the flag or
coat of arms as a trade mark or other
device. the sole exception being the badge
Of the Grand Army of the Republic. The
third section, which has long been needed
on the statutes. declares that any person
or persons who shall tear down. trample
upon. or treat with indignity, wantonly
deface. or destroy the flag or coat or arms
of the United States. or any imitation or
representation thereof. shall be deemed
guilty of a msdemeanOr.
The final provision makes the punish
ment on conviction of any violation OF the
law fine not exceeding $500 or not more
than ono wears Imprisonment
