SHIPPING LAWS FOR HAWAII

Washington, Feb. Sat meeting
of the House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries today 1t was de-
cided to make a favorable report on
the bill introduced by General Gros-
venor to extend the laws relating to
commerce, navigation and merchant
seamen over the Hawaiian Islands.
The Commissioner of Navigation Is
empowered to make such regulations
as he may deem expedient for the ma
tionalization of all vessels owned by
citizens of the Islands and which con-
tinue to be so owned to the date of ma
tionalization and which have Hawaiian
registry, temporary or permanent. The
trade between the Islands and any
other portion OF the United States shall
be regulated in accordance with the
provisions of law applicable to such
trade between any two great coasting
districts. The Act is to become eff
fective one year after its passage.
Senator Foster of Washington today
laid before the Senate petition pray
ing that there be inserted in the new
Constitution for Hawaii a clause pro-
hibiting the sale and manufacture of
alcoholic liquor and continuing the
prohibition of gambling and the opium
trade in these Islands.

EXTENDING CONSTITUTION.

Washington, Feb. Tt Is develop ID
today in connection with the Porto RI
co tariff dill that the majority OF the
Ways and Means Committee was not
unanimous for the measure Or for the
principle 1t involved as to the govern
ment of territorial acquisitions and that
Representative Mccall, Republican
member Of the committee from Massa-
chusetts, had presented strong dis
senting report.
When the Ways and Means Commit
tee passed on the bill last week Mr.
Mccall withheld his vote, the under
standing being that he had not yet Civ
en- that careful study to the issues in
yolved necessary to permit him 10 vote
either way. In other respects the vote
was on party lines all Republicans TX.
cept Mr.. Mccall voting for the bill
and all the Democrats against 1t. The
Ways and Means Committee at its
meeting today reached decision that
the debate on the Porto Rico tariff
bill would begin on the 10th, and last
one week.

One of the most important parts of
Robert Wilcox's letter to Mr.. Tesla
Of the Independent is his reference to
the restoration idea. He says: All
our strong and powerful friends are
tired, such as the New York Herald,
Washington Post, etc, also our friends
in Congress" II this were the sum
total Of result of the Wilcox mission to
Washington, the trip would be worth
the while. Hawaiis status as regards
its old time independence is establish
ed for all time so far as the present
generation is concerned The only way
for tn enative Hawaiian to accomplish
anything of benefit to himself or the
Islands Is to take his position, as an
American citizen, that will be given
under the assuredly liberal territorial
law. The less the old restoration idea
crops out, the more powerful will the
Hawaiian Americans find themselves
in national counsels.

San Francisco, Feb. S.-Better speed

vessels at the quarantine station. The
arrival of three transports yesterday
threatened to complicate matters, but

transport Indiana and the sugar pack

likely that the Alameda, which is due

San Francisco. Feb. S.-Despite the
fact that nothing has been heard of the
Aztec's experience at Hilo, orders have
been received from Washington to dis
patch the horse transports Conemaugh

Reports from General Buffers ad-
vance upon Ladysmith have the old
time tenor Of preparing the British for
news of another magnificent retreat.
The latest dispatches indicate that dur
ing the third advance Buffers troops
reached still another startegical posi-
ton which they were unable to hold
and again retired beyond the Tugela
river. 1t has yet to be shown that any
serious losses have been inflicted upon
the Beers. which might serve to offset
the terrible losses the British have
suffered.

DOUBTFUL ABOUT BULLER

London, Feb. 9.--The London news
papers fully realize that General Bull
| ler's fight to rescue Ladysmith has
only begun, that he is not much better
off than he was when he captured
Spion Kop, and that there will be fur
Their long lists of dead and wounded,
whether General Butler fails or sue
ceeds.
Nothing has been published as to
General Buffers movements on Thurs
day.
If he was able to hold his ground at
Vaal Krantz and bring up more troops
and artillery the critics will be salts
/ fed. 1t is not known in London how
| important Naal KrantZ Is, but IL Is
pretty well understood that the Beers
intend to fight every inch of the way.
There is no strategy involved in Cen
eral Buffers movement. He Is ham
mering his way through the Beers by
means of artillery. He is moving
straight toward Ladysmith and seek
ing to split Jouberts army.
Pretoria dispatches continue to de-
scribe the Boer losses as trivial and
the British advantages of position as
delusive.
The success Of the British movement
appears to be an artillery problem.
Vaal krantZ Is exposed to a long en-
filadng fire from Spion Kop on the
west and Doom Kloof on the east. The
British are on lower kopjes and the
Beers have mounted heavy guns on
higher SUBMITS, which command Vaal
Krantz.
The British themselves have massed
tLeir heavy guns on Mount Alice and
Zwart Kop on the southern bank of
the river and have brought their field
batteries into action with cumulative
effect. Continued occupation of the
kopjes and the advance of Buffers
troops to Ladysmith depend upon the
power of the British artillery to
silence the enfilading guns. This is
the view taken in official circles and
there Is a buoyant feeling Of conf
dence.
Much confidence Is felt in Lord Rob-
