AN AUTHORIZED DENIAL.


Washington. Nov. 14.--At the de-
partment of justice it is denied that
Atty.-Gen. Griggs has instructed Unit
ed States District Attorney Baird to
institute suits in the federal court OF
Hawaii to set aside all grants, sales.
franchises and leases in Hawaii since
September 2s. 1899. During the in
tcrim between the annexation of the
islands and the passage of the na-
waiian act of April 30, 1900, the attor-
ney general rendered two opinions
to the effect that, under the Hawaii
an laws then in force, there was no pow
er to sell franchises and public lands.
BY the terms of section 70 of this
act. the ratification of such grants
and sales during the hiatus was sub
iect TO the approval of the president.
