WASHINGTON, April 25.-After a
brief debate today the Senate agreed to
the conference report of the Hawaiian
civil government bill, the provisions
relating to the right of franchise and
imprisonment for debt having been
amended to conform to the ideas of the
Senate. 'o0
Cullom presented a conference report
on the bill to provide a government for
Hawaii, explaining that the principal
changes made by the last Congress were
the striking out of all provisions re-
quiring the payment of taxes before
registration to vote, and the elimina-
tion of the provision that a person may
be imprisoned for debt or payment
of taxes.
IF the conference report is adopted" "
suggested Jones of Arkansas, the pay
ment of taxes will not be a prerequisite
to voting"
That's It, exactly" replied Cullom,
"and IN addition there shall be no i'm
prisonment for debt"
Tillman inquired what had been done
with the provision requiring the Presi-
dent to appoint the officials of the ter
ritory from among the residents of Ha-
wall.
Cullom replied that the offices were
to be filled by citizens of Hawaii.
Tillman thought this provision ought
to have been inserted in the Porto
| Rican bill. that carpet -baggers
should not be inflicted upon those peo-
pie"
Foraker pointed out that under the
Porto Rican bill the President, If he
saw fit could appoint all the officers
of Porto Rico from the citizens of the
| Island
/ Platt of Connecticut protested against
| requiring the President to appoint Of
| ficials of the islands from their inhabi'
| tants. The conference report was theT
agreed to without division.
