Mr.. Pettgrew Mr.. President. since
the annexation Of those islands by the
United States there have been import

tracts may be for three or for ten
years. Those made On Japan can last

The Cabinet held an informal meet
ing after the arrival of the Australia
yesterday morning to hear read the
correspondence from Washington.
President Dole first read the following
telegram from Judge Alfred S. Hart
well:
Washington, March 6.
Hon. Sanford b. Dole.
Secretary Hay telegraphs Presidents
approval Act 1 and that President has
not considered calling old Legislature
wise, expecting Council of State to
make requisite appropriations pending
bill. House committee adopt section
80 Senate bill; retain section 73 House
bill. Recommend certain amendments
but generally retain House bill.
ALFRED S. HARTWELL.
President Dole then read the corre-
spOndence OF Mr. Hartwell in full,
which included the following amend
ment to section 50, providing that ap-
propriations, except as otherwise here
in provided. shall be biennially by the
Legislature"
Amendment to Section Fifty-Two.
THAT section 50 be amended by add
ing to the end thereof the following:
Provided, however, that pending the
time when this act shall take effect
and until a session of the Legislature
OF the Territory Of Hawaii shall be
held. the President may in his disCre-
ton authorize and direct the use of
such money in the Treasury of the Re
public OF Hawaii. as well as of the Ter
ritory OF Hawaii, as he shall think
requisite and proper for carrying on OF
the Government of the Hawaiian ISL
ands, the preservation OF the public
health, the completion Of the sewerage
system of the city of Honolulu, and
such other expenditures as in the
Presidents judgment shall seem 10 be
appropriate"
The Cabinet discussed the corre-
spondence and the opinion seemed 10
be that the amendment to section 81
was very good one. as ii gives the
local Government a chance for appro-
priating public monies.
President Dole is of the opinion that
the differences of the two bills will
cause some delay. Il think" said he,
"apparently the crown lands in this
Senate bill passed are separated from
the other lands and made subject to
United States laws. This appears from
the correspondence received; but the
bills themselves have not yet arrived.

something dark in the wOOdpile, and
nothing can be taken for granted.
Those who are unfriendly 10 the Dole
government. and denOunce " here,
have cast a suspicion, in Congress, up
on all Americans in Hawaii, and as
one member of the House says made
rule in Hawaii only TO alternate be-
tween two sets Of rascals.'
On Tuesday, the 9th. Senator Allen
OF Nebraska, who has been absent for
ten days, began 20 ask questions about
the bill, the answers to which are ful-
Is set forth in the committees report.
Mr.. Allen said he had not the time 20
read up on the subject, and consumed
the time Of the Senate in asking for in
formation, which had been in his
hands for several weeks. So the SEN
ate. "out Of courtesy deferred voting
on the bill. and another delay followed.
Senator Pettigrew began. Tuesday,
his attack on the Hawaiian community.
His effort was TO exhibit that COM
munity as wicked, cruel and selfsn.
His proof of this was in the enforce
ment OF the penal contract labor laws.
Several reports made by Mr.. Wray
Taylor showing ill treatment OF labor
ers. he quoted in full. The decision OF
the Supreme Court, sustaining the Mas
ters and Servants Act. was quoted al
length and the courts, as well as the
people Of Hawaii were bitterly de-
nOunced.
Senator Pettigrew stated that he had
received Mr. Taylor's report. from
Joseph o. Carter who is one OF the most
|capable citizens Of that country. Inc
Senator then read an article from the
Hawaiian Independent, which had Deen

ed to retain IL.
When one OF the Senators was asked
II he would provide no property quali-
hcatiOns for voters in Porto Rico and
In the Philippines, he replied that they
would not be allowed 10 become Ameri-
can citizens as the Hawaiians have
been allowed citizenship; that the
popular theory seemed 10 be that the
natives Of the new possessions should
not be allowed 10 obtain American cit
iZenship. but If they did. they should
not be placed under property qualitica-
tiOns.
As the debate continued. and Sena-
tors became more familiar with the
subject, there was a disposition 10 re-
strict the power Of the Territorial Leg
islature, so as 20 avoid the mischief
which would arise from the dominance
