Washington, April 1.-Two drastic
measures for the regulation of trusts
were decided upon by the special sub
committee of the house judiciary COM
mittee Monday. The first gives con-
gress full power to deal with them.
The second revises and galvanizes the
Sherman antitrust law. In order to

measure the penalty clauses in the
Sherman law are strengthened and
new sections are added to give it fur

The sections which it is proposed to
add to the Sherman law are five in

The Indemnity Against Turkey.


Washington, April 19.-The news of
the firm attitude assumed by the
state department toward the Turkish
government in the prosecution of it's
claim for damages to American mis-
sionary property caused something of
sensation in diplomatic circles
Wednesday. AS a matter of fact, based
upon their own experience with the
Turkish government in the effort to
collect claims, those members of the
diplomatic body here who have
watched the progress of the negotia-
tions between the United States and
Turkey for the past five years have
come to look with amusement upon
the alternating phases of hope and
encouragement by which they have
been characterized. Three success
i've American ministers have prose-
cuted these claims; each has received
a promise of prompt settlement, and
yet, not a dollar has, been paid. With
European diplomats that is an old
experience, and they have conse-
quently been somewhat surprised at
the announcement that the United
States government is actually going
to insist upon performance instead of

PLANS FOR HAWAII.
Complete Form of Govern
ment for Islands.

Washington, April 1S.-After ex-
tended meetings a unanimous agree
ment was reported Tuesday by the
house and senate conferees on the Ha-
waiian government bill. The senate
conferees yielded to the house meas
ure, which passed as substitute for
the senate bill as whole, although
number of amendments were made.
A synopsis of the measure follows:
The bill establishes a complete form Of
government for the islands, with gov
,rnor and other executive officers, legis-
lature of two branches and a judicial
branch consisting of a supreme court, cir
cult courts and inferior courts. The bill
provides that Hawaii shall be represent
ed in congress by a delegate who shall
have seat in the house of representatives
with right to debate but not 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
NoAA w " oOAAAS
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-
,erning the same, and from all claim Of
any nature whatsoever, upon the rents,
Issues and profits thereof. It shall he
subject to alienation and other uses as
may be provided bv 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
treaty status in Hawaii and that their
torcible deportation by the United States
would invite a serious and needless breach
with Japan.

presidential tribune, surrounded by
