PLANS FOR HAWAII.
COnferees Agree on a Bill Establish
ing n Complete Form of Govern
ment for the Islands.

Washington, April 10. - A unani-
nous agreement has been reported by
the house and senate conference on
the Hawaiian government bill. A syn
opsis of the measure follows:
The bill establishes complete form of
government for the islands. with a gov
ernor and other executive officers. legis-
lature OF two branches, and judicial
branch consisting of supreme court, cir
cult courts and inferior courts. The bill
provides that Hawaii shall be represent
ed In congress by delegate who shall
have seat in the house of representatives
with right to debate but not a vote. The
delegate to congress is to be chosen at an
election of the people. There is no tariff
provision In the bill, as the tariff laws
of the United States are extended over
the island. and the territory of Hawaii
is specifically made "a customs district
of the United States" with ports of en-
try at Honolulu, Hilo, Hahukona and
Kahului
AS to the crown lands, which have been
source of some controversy, it is pro-
vided: THAT the portion of the public
domain heretofore known as crown lands
is hereby declared to have been, on Au-
gust II. 1898. and prior thereto. the prop
erty of the Hawaiian government and to
be free and clear from any trust of or con-
corning the same, and from all claim of
any nature whatsoever, upon the rents,
issues and profits thereof. 1t shall be
subject to alienation and other uses as
may be provided by law"
The Chinese on the island are given one
year to obtain certificates of residence,
but the conferees struck out the amend
ment inserted by Representative Dear
mond. of Missouri providing that "all Chi
nese and other Asiatics'' arriving since
the island was acquired by the United
States shall depart within one year or
else be deported by the government. This
latter provision was omitted in view of
the belief that the Japanese have secured
a treaty status in Hawaii and that their
forcible deportation by the United States
would invite a serious and needless breach
with Japan.

THREE MEN KILLED.
Terrible Result of an Explosion In a
Dynamite Factory Near Bay
City, Mich.

Bay City, Mich, April 21.-The pack
ing house of the Ajax dynamite works,
near the village of Kawkawlin, this
county, was blown up Friday after
noon, killing three men. The dead are:
William Weaver, Kawkawlin; Edward
Halligan, Kawkawlin; William Van
Vlassar, West Bay City. All left young
wives and children. Their bodies were
torn to shreds, only enough being found
to fill bushel basket. Great trees were
uprooted or torn to splinters, and
houses and stores in Kawkawlin were
wrecked by the force of the explosion.
H. H. Thomas, of Bay City, is the owner
of the works. 1t is believed the explo-
sion, which is the fourth in seven years,
was caused by one of the men dropping
a pailful of dynamite on the floor. The
financial loss is slight.

Joseph w. Holden, who died at Otis
field, Me-, the other day, was the Pro-
fessor Holden who for many years
preached the theory that the earth
was fiat. He started life as farmer
and was very successful. He was at
one time a trial justice, and at an
other, member of the state legisla-
ture. He got his notion of the earth's
fairness by sitting up several nights
and noticing that the water in his
mill pond did rot run out when, ac-
cording to other theorists, the globe
was upside down.

Many JAPANESE Come.

Washington, April 21.-Assistant
Secretary Taylor, of the treasury de-
partment, has received telegram
from the immigration inspector at Fort
Townsend, Wash, in which he states
that 1000 japanese immigrants were
landed at that port Thursday, and 1900
are expected to arrive to-day. In con-
sequence of this sudden increase in the
arrival of orientals, he is unable to
make the necessary examinations I'M
aided, and asks for authority to employ
additional help. Mr.. Taylor has wired
him authority to employ three emer-
gency assistants.

In the Journal Of the College of
Science, of Tokyo, Prof. Sekiya gives
an extensive account of japanese
earthquakes from 416 A. d. to the end
of 1898, the total number of destruc-
tive shocks being 222. 1t is found that
when small earthquakes are numerous
seriously destructiv. ones are less so;
this is explained by the face that in
an unstable country like Japan, if the
earth stress is used up in numerous
small shocks there will be SO much
less force stored up to produce ex-
tensive disturbances.

Senator Pettus does not show his
years, but, nevertheless, he is the old
est member of the senate, in years,
not in point of service. He is most
highly esteemed, not only by reason

him lovable old man. He was born

his grandfather having been Revo-
lutionary soldier. He was lieuten-
ant in the Mexican war, and entered
