ILLEGAL LAND SALES.

The decisions OF the United States
bear out the squatters In the conten-
ton that the Constitution of the
United States has at all times and I'M
der all circumstances governed the
public domain of the United States in
the Hawaiian Islands from and after
the 18th day OF August, 1898, and that
all laws enacted and other official acts
concerning such public domain is sub
ject to the constitutional limitations
and that ali laws and Official acts con-
trary thereto are void.
The status of Hawaii is clearly de-
fined. although the constitution had
to be woefully stretched to cover other
insular acquisitions. The Court de
cides that after acquisition the pro
visions of the constitution immediate
ly extends to the acquired Territory
until such time as Congress organ
ICES II under civil law and that
Congress can then extend the Consti-
tuition to such Territory at its
pleasure: but. where the consti-
tuition has been once formally extend
ed by Congress to the Territories.
neither Congress nor the Territorial
Legislature can enact laws inconsist-

Superior activity of wheat diminished
the attendance in the corn pit to quite
