|ASS ON HAWAIIAN LAW MATTHEW'S STATEMENTS
DIRECTION IN RE
APPROPRIATIONS.
Tells Council of State to Appropriate
Under Strict Terms of Constitution.
situation Unchanged

Minister Mott-Smith received a tele-
gram yesterday from Secretary Hay in
regard to appropriations made by the
Council of State to combat the plague.
President Mckinley directs that all
proper expenditures for stamping out
the plague here or in any part Of the
Hawaiian Islands be made.
When it first became apparent that
additional money would be required
the Government addressed the Presi-
dent on the matter. The authority of the
Council of State to appropriate money
for expenses in actually combating
the plague was not questioned, as the
Hawaiian Constitution in such con-
tingency would undoubtedly hold; but
instructions were required on the mat
ter of appropriations for caring FOR the
people after quarantine and for sani-
tary improvements. 1t was upon this
latter point that the Government desir-
ed information. President McKinley's
answer is unsatisfactory for the reason
that it leaves the matter in precisely
the same shape it was before, not an
swerng the latter and most important
question at all.
The last application for money for
support of the people and recOnstruc-
ton work is still pending before the
Council of State. Action should have
been taken on the day of the China
town fire, but was not.
Following is the letter of the Secre-
tary of State:

In view of the Importance of thor

provisions of section six of article
eighty-one of the Hawaiian cOnstitu-

HAVING A GREAT RUN ON CHAM
BERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

Manager Martin, of the Plerson drug
store, informs us that he is having
a great run on Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He sells five bottles of that
medicine to one of any other kind, and
1t gives great satisfaction. In these
days of la grippe there is nothing like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to stop
the cough, heal up the sore throat and
lungs and give relief within a very
short time. The sales are growing, and
all who try it are pleased with its
prompt action.-South Chicago Daily

CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS.
The House Votes to Declare His Seat
Vacant.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The case of
Brigham H. Roberts, the Norman re-
presentative-elect from Utah, which
has occupied so much of the attention
of the House since the assembling of
Congress, was decided today by the
adoption of a resolution to exclude him
by a vote of 27S to so.
The exact language of the resolution
was as follows:
THAT, under the facts and circum-
stances of the case, Brigham H. Rob-
ertS, representatives from the
State of Utah, ought not to have or
hold seat in the House of Representa-
lives and that the seat to which he was
elected is hereby declared vacant"
Mr. Roberts was present throughout
the day and left the Hall after the re-
suit of the last vote had been an
nounced. AS he did so, he gave out
statement justifying his retention of
his plural wives on the ground that his
moral obligation was more binding up
on his conscience than technical obedi-
ence to statutory law, and saying that
there was little excuse for the eXtraor-
binary efforts to crush a system al
ready abandoned and practically dead
He said he was a martyr to a "spasm
of prejudice" He would not, he said
attempt to run for Congress again, al
though he would go back home with
ii light heart, confident of the future.

The quickest time ever made between Dawson and White Horse was made by the steamer Lightning last week. Sev- enty-one hours was the record estab- lished on this occasion.
 The steamer Dolphin, that recently came round the Horn to go on the Se- attle-Skagway run, reached the former place last week and may be expected to put in au appearance in these waters shortly. She had an exciting voyage, as she experienced severe storms and part of her crew mutinied.
 The Atlin district has on exhibition at the Paris Exposition the following gold specimens: No. 84-From Otter creek Cat Canyon), gold nugget: weight, I9 ounces; value, S25O. No. S5-From Otter creek Cat Canyon) gold nugget; 1.42 ounces; value, S25. No. 86-From Spruce creek (No. 90 below, gold from ledge; weight, L34 ounces; value, S22.0O.
 pr. Woods, who recently paid visit to Windham bay, says that finding time hanging rather heavy on his hands, he employed his spare moments in deter mining to a mathematical certainty just how many gnats constituted a body guard for one mosquito. His de- auctions, based upon some eight or ten counts, show a general average of 26,- 7O8.
 Barratt P. Bussart, the last of the Skagway and Dyea packers to finger in the neighborhood of Lynn canal, has left with his family for Dawson, where he has established himself in business, says the Alaskan. Mr. Bussart left Skagway for Dawson last winter, and made the trip in over the ice with his entire pack train, taking large quan- tity of freight with him. He remained at the Klondike capital until he had gotten his teams all at work, and re, turned for his family, arriving in Skag- way July 4th. Mr. Bussart reports Dawson as a good mining camp yet, and says that he has little difficulty in keeping his pack train and teams at profitable employment.
 If you are lucky you can get a bed in third or fourth class lodging house in Nome for S6 per night. At the more pretentious resorts the rates are cor respondingly higher and one has to have a wad the size of his boot leg be- fore he can even attract the attention of the night clerk. At one or two ultra swell establishments where men ot sporting blood are won't to congregate, what has become known as the great bedroom handicap has been inaugural ed. Nominations for this event post an entrance fee of s1O, and when the list is closed, the contestants draw cuts for position and are off at the tap oi the bell for the coveted goal. The win ner gets the bed and receives back his entrance money.

The Alaskan says that W. T. Tiff, formerly of Douglas, has begun oper- ating his new sticker at his Skagway mill and is turning out the first mould ing ever made in that city. It is made from Alaska spruce. The moulding is without fault, and is said to be better than Puget Sound cedar moulding be- cause it is more elastic and tough and will not break so easily. It is beauti. fuI white. This is the first moulding machine ever put up in Skagway.
 The Atlin Claim of June 30 contain ed the following neat little editorial utterance: "Let us all turn out on Wednesday next and help our Ameri. can chums to make their celebration a rouser. The old animosities which oc- cured a century and a quarter ago and of which the 4th of July is the out come, are as dead as Julius Caesar. Be- sides, our great, great grandfathers were all in the wrong and deserved just what they got. Friends, the town is yours for the day. Whoop her up"
 The AtIin Claim says an arrangement is under way by which combination of claim owners, representing over 60 claims on upper Willow creek, make over their properties to the Sunrise GuIch Hydraulic company, for a con- sideration of 20 per cent of the gross returns. The company undertakes ev- erything in the way of work and eX- pense, the combination simply taking the percentage. This arrangement should be a profitable one for all par ties, as the ground, whilst we'll situated for hydraulicing, would be rather a hard proposition for ordinary manual working.
 On the high bank of Surprise Lake where the government roadmakers are at present camped, stands large cot tonwood tree. A knot grows on it a few feet from the ground. Some eX- pert axeman, evidently a Canadian, with exquisite taste for sculpture, has hewn the knot into a well-shappen hu man head, showing all the features quite naturally. Across the upper lip is written "Kruger." Over the left ear "Oom Paul" Over the right one "Lend me your ear moment, and signed Joe Chamberlain. Across the chin, "His name is Dennis" The work has lately been executed but the artist is un- known. Two of the government road gang are being shadowed, but their rec ord for previous good conduct stands them well.
 The Alaskan of July 11th says that the defense has won a complete victory in the Jack Wade creek mining cases. The jury in the case of Wells vs. Mat soni ct al, which is the plaintiffs stron- gest case of the four involving mil lion dollars worth of mining property, filed into court at 10 o'clock and an- nounced that they had agreed upon the special findings submitted by the plain tiff. The court directed the jury to re- turn to the jury room and answer the special findings and return a sealed verdict at 10 o'clock this morning. Af- ter it had been signed and delivered to the foreman the jury were permitted to leave the jury room. This they did about midnight. It was learned that the defense had won. The arguments of the counsel to the jury occupied all day.

The engineers corps started upon the survey and permanent location of the
 Lynn Canal Shore Line LYNN Railway July 10th. Jno. CANAL H.Diers and Elias Ruud RAILWAY are in charge of the
 work and have ample assistance. The company's officers say that by the time the survey shall have been completed the work of actual con. struction will commence. l.. D. Kin ney, who is still the moving spirit in the various Chilkoot propositions, says everything looks we'll and by the first of September there will be from 800 to 1000 men at work on the line of rail road that is to climb Chilkoot's craggy heights. In speaking of the matter, he said to an Alaskan reporter: "l could not ask that our affairs be in better shape than now. We have completed the organization of the Lynn Canal Shore Line, and the Chilkoot Pass R. R. was organized sometime ago. The next company to organize, the proposed incorporators of which are already, is the Arctic Construction Go. The old tunnel company has been merged in the Chilkoot company, and the Arctic Construction company will have the contract to do all the construction work from Skagway to the summit, in- cluding the tunnel. This company will be organized as soon as 1 get below. A prominent and we'll known railroad builder will have charge of the work. He will commence in four places. The first gang will commence at Skagway, the second at Dyea, the third at the canyon and the fourth at the tunnel. There will be employed from 800 to 1000 men and all will be at work in less than 60 days"
 The biggest and yet the daintiest and the strangest nugget that ever came out
 of the Klondike in the
 THE care of hardy miner
 BIGGEST arrived here the other
 NUGGET night, says the Skagway
 Alaskan, and it has started on the extraordinary trip to Berlin, Germany, more than 5000 miles from the place of beginning. This rare treasure is nothing less than a tender, blue eyed infant, born only 38 days ago on the famous Gold Hill, point from which many rare other nuggets have come. The little globe trotter is Betty Nitze. Her father, F. Nitze, German of almost gigantic physique, is the sole companion of the baby. Although used to the frontier, he has the grace of woman in handling the little bundle of humanity, He was to be seen at the Occidental Hotel lavishing all the de- votion of a mother on the child and performing with fortitude the minor duties over which many strong man would apologetically have blushed. The mother of the child is not yet strong enough to travel, and the father did not want her troubled caring for it when she will start for Germany, which she will do in few weeks. He is hur- rying ahead to attend to important manufacturing interests he has there. The baby is carried while travelling in little hamper, in the bottom of which is bed of cider down. It scarcely ev- CT whimpers. Before leaving Dawson the little one was the recipient of a number of pretty nuggets as tokens from friends.

The AtIin Claim of Jue 30th has the following relative to hydraulic opera tions in that section: The Sunrise Gulch company has fully l50 men em- ployed, with about 20 horses. Great work is being done excavating the ditch, which commences on Pine, three miles above Discovery. This ditch is expected to be completed to Sunrise Gulch within six weeks, and will carry several thousand inches of water. This company is running everything on the largest and most up-to-date style, and we would recommend any anti-Alien sorehead, if any such person still eX- ists, to take walk along the Sunrise company's works and see what Ameri- can capital and American energy are worth to the district.
 There has been a new strike on the Tanana, back of Circle City. The camp is difficult to get into, as the trail leads through mud, water and over bother some "niggerheads," and a man cannot pack more than 75 pounds on his back. The camp is about 125 miles from Cir cle City, and on American territory. The field has proven to be an extensive one, prospects we'll, and those on the ground say it will rival the Klondike. On Faith creek 75 cents to S1 pan is being taken from a reef of projecting bedrock. On other creeks the pay runs from 15 cents to S1.5O per pan. One feature of the district is that the gray el shows pay from the grass roots, in many instances averaging 10 cents all the way to bedrock. Most everyone on the way down the river from Dawson to Nome have turned aside for the new strike. Packers are opening up line of communication from Circle City and are charging $125 per pound for nov ing supplies.

They had only the crudest appliances, but with these they were washing out from S4 to S2O day to the man. The average, I should say, was not under SIP. And such old rickety rockers as many of them were using. l heard good reports as to mining everywhere. Of course there are going to be many failures in Nome, but it will not be the fault of the camp. Whiskey and in- numerable other temptations will be the undoing of many man. l saw hundreds loafng around saloons and gambling houses, men who in this state would not think of going to such pla, ces. They go up there and get dis couraged, won't work, and drift into the grog shops and gambling hells There is but one story to tell of their fate. On the beach I offered men S3 an hour to handle freight, and many of them laughed at me. They were not appar' ently working on their own account and did not seem to want to labor for any one else.

ula or shoulder bone of the orang is like that of man; the long, straight clav- icle, or collar bone, is less like mans than in the caee of the chimpanzee or gorilla, There are nine wrist or carpal bones in the orang, as in man, only eight in the gorilla and chimpanzee the magnum there being absent.
 "To briefly summarize, the orang comes nearest to man in the number of ribs, the form of the cerebral hemi- spheres and their convolutions, but in the shape of the limbs to the body, they differ more than the chimpanzee or go- rilla."
 Capt. DOsta said afterward that he doubted the savage qualities of the orang, explaining that 1t lacks sufficient jaw strength to bite hard enough to in- jure a person, and has only the arm strength, its legs being too short to be of much use. It Is explained that Ham must be treated much like child from bis age and general characteristics. For that reason he Is given, no tea or coffee to drink, for fear of it's effect on his nerves and indigestion Baltimore Sun.
