WITHOUT BONDS OR INCOME
TAX.
Cooper Says He Will Not Call Any
Extra Session If Both Sources of In
come are Lost.

The members of the legislature con-
tinue to talk extra session, and moth
ing can convince them that there will
not be an extra session in the near
future, but Acting Governor very en-
phatically says Nit.
''rhe question of an extra session
now depends upon whether the income
tax law is sustained or not " said
Representative John Emmeluth yester-
day, and members of the Legislature
generally regard the letter from Wash
ington on the subject of bonds as in
creasing their chances of having an
other session.
Governor Cooper stated this morning
that his attitude had not changed at
all and would not change. Neither
the decision from Washington nor loss
of the income tax would influence me
one Bit" said the Acting Governor.
Then there is little chance of an ex-
ira session. he was asked.
Not as far as l am concerned" said
Cooper
The agitators for an extra session
have based hopes on Cooper, as they
were well acquainted with Dole's firm
attitude on the question, and had no
hopes that he would call an extra ses-
sion. Cooper has now taken the same
position. and it begins to appear likely
that the First Territorial legislature
will not sit again.
I'VE shall get along very well in a
conservative way" said Cooper. THE
loan matter is out of the way now and
we shall have to wait for loan act
until the next legislature meets"

WILL TAKE OATH OF ALLEGI-
ANCE TO GERMANS.
Reported Will be Member Native Ad-
visory Board and be Equal With
Mataafa His Former Rival.

Malietoa is reported to have decided
TO take the oatn of allegiance to the
German 'Overnment. According to ad-
vices brou Int today by the Philadel-
phia the young chieftian who was a
claimant to the Samoan throne against
the WHY old MataaIa, has announced
that he will shortly come to Apia and
there become a good German subject.
AS a reward for his allegiance the
Germans will make him a member of
the advisory board to their governor
and pace Malietoa on an equal footing
with Mataafa.
This news is decidedly surprising for
it was supposed by many that the
breach between the two native leaders
could never be healed. At the time
that the Germans, British and Ameri-
cans agreed upon the division of the
Samoan group, Maletoa threw up his
residence in Samoa and went to Tonga
in the Fiji Islands, refusing to have
anything to do with the German COVER
nor Mataata took the oath of allegi-
ance however, and was given nomi-
nal amount of power and appointed
member of the advisory board. A
similar honor awaited the younger man
but, for a time, he has held aloof
The officers on the Philadelphia are
the authority for the statement that
'Malietoa was reported by natives on
Tutuila to have announced from his
Fiji residence that he intended to re-
turn to Apia and join with the Ger
mans. From what the natives said he
intended returning in a short time.
While this decision on the part of
Malietoa is very surprising it was
probably made upon the advice of Ia
masese who was vice king before the
Islands were taken by the white ma
ttons. Tamasese swore at the death bed
of the elder Tamasese to follow the
young Malietoa who had been chosen
ruler. The result was that although
Malietoas claims were disregarded and
he was given but a small part in the
government of the islands Tamasese re-
mained faithful. He and the members
of that party have held aloof from any
compact with their new rulers.
Naturally the Germans have been en-
deavoring to mollify that party as it
was regarded as about the only remain
ing unfriendly element in the islands.
They may have succeeded in demon
strating to Tamasese the utter futility
of his chief continuing hostile toward
the Germans. The young man may
have been so advised by Tamasese and
decided to return and accept the in
evitable.
Malietoa was the young claimant
who was supported by the Americans
and British. If the report of the young
mans return to his native land is true
it may mean that in all probability
about all of the discordant elements
will have been settled by the Germans.
There is a possibility however that the
presence of Malietoa in the same CQun-
ell with his old enemy may give rise
to further complications and even an
open rupture between the pair.

REPLY FROM wAsHI- TON IS No
REPLY.
Response to Cooper's Query About
Bonds Does Not Answer the Question
At ALL.

The reply from Washington to the
question put by Acting Governor Coop
er regarding the approval of bonds
that might be issued under the act of
'96 is really no reply at all to the ques-
ton put. Secretary Hitchcock said in
his letter to Cooper that further legis-
lation' would be required to conform
with section of the loan act of 1896.
under which it was proposed to have
bonds issued.
This was not news to anyone in Ha-
wall The issuance of bonds without
legislation was never contemplated,
and the local government knows no
more now than it did before Hitchcock
wrote his letter
Section ? of the act in question SAYS:
mo such bonds shall be issued except
in pursuance of any Act of the Legls-
lature authorizing such issue"
The question at issue was what would
constitute legislation authorizing such
issue? If the legislature passed appro-
priations for public improvements to
be paid for out of money derived from
the sale of bonds issued under the pro-
visions of the act of 1896, would that
be the requisite legislation? In other
words this was a special session of the
legislature called solely to make ap-
proprations. Could il by making ap-
propriations to be paid from bond is
sue give the vital spark to the unex-
hausted power of the loan act of 1862
That was the question that was asked,
and the question that was unanswered.
The further legislation" required to
issue bonds is the act of the present
legislature authorizing such ISSUE
which Acting Governor Cooper asked
the legislature to pass. The question
put to Secretary Hitchcock was whe-
ther after such legislation, President
Mckinley would approve the bonds
Hitchcock replies that legislation would
be necessary, and matters are left
where they were before. 1t is not the
first experience of the kind local off,
cials have had in correspondence with
Washington they say.
Secretary Hitchcock stated in his
letter that he had not thought it worth
while to submit the question to the
President. Hitchcock could not hove
recommended the approval of the bonds
without the necessary legislation. TINS
appears to local officials as a mastery
effort at misunderstanding, for the is
suance of bonds without legislation has
never been in anyone's thoughts
Hitchcock appears to have had the no
uon that the President was to be asked
to approve bonds issued here by the
executive department, without any act
of the legislature.

TEACHERS ARE DELIGHTED.
Many Want to Leave Thomas and
Settle Here.

The school teachers are making the
most of their visit here by going to
all the places of interest. A numbers
went to Oahu Mill yesterday. Others
went to the Pail today, their interest
being aroused by the glowing descrip-
tions given by the many who visited
the spot yesterday.
When the announcement was made
that the stay of the Thomas would be
prolonged for a day there was univer-
sal rejoicing among the school teachers.
Honolulu has made a hit with them
and when the Thomas leaves tomorrow
for Manila there will be more than one
of the passengers aboard who will re-
gret that they can not remain here
and settle. Some of them declare that
they will return as soon as they will
have concluded their term of service in
the Philippines.

STEINACKER MAY DIE
BOTH BULLETS PENETRATED
THE LUNG.
WHAT LED TO THE TROUBLE.
THE STORY TOLD BY sTEINACKER
BEFORE HE SHOT HIMSELF.

Suspected That His Wife Was at Mrs.
Burke's Home on Price street and
Searched the House for Her-The
Police Called but He Left Before
They Arrived-He Then Went to
His Wife's House, where the
Shooting Took PIace-Mrs. Burkc's
story of Steinacker's Conduct.
George T. Steinacker. who shot himself
with suicidal intent Monday night, has
but a very slim chance Of recovery, so
slim that Dr. G. M. Norton who is at
tending him, says that the chances are
a hundred TO one against 1t. An exam
ination of the wounds that DR.. Norton
made yesterday. shows that both bullets
penetrated the left lung, and that from
one wound, there is internal hemorrhage.
The wounded man has suffered such in
tense pain that he was given an opiate
and kept under its influence all of yester-
day.
Since the shooting additional facts
about steinacker's marital troubles have
come to light, besides the story told by
Steinacker himself at the time that he
filed proceedings for a divorce.
The trouble began, according to Stein
acker's statement, about three weeks ago,
when be left his home, and shortly after
filed suit for divorce.
His charges as to his wife led 10 his visit
at Mrs. J. J. Burkes house on Price
street near Perry. where he accused Mrs.
Burke Of various things. He also dis
played a pistol prominently, but did not
offer 70 use it after he failed to find his
wife whom he suspected had been there.
Despite the fact that he had taken
steps to vindicate himself, and had sued
for divorce, the matter seemed to prey
deeply on Steinacker's mind, and this
doubtless led him to drink more than was
his won't. on the night of the shooting
he suspected that he would find Mrs.
Steinacker at Mrs Burke's house, and
about s O'Clock went there and demanded
TO know if his wife was in the house.
Mrs Burke told him that she was not,
but he fatly told her that she did not
tell the truth, and insisted that Mrs.
Steinacker was upstairs. Mrs Burke told
him he could search the house and this
he did with Jack Zimmerman. After the
search had been made without result
Stelnacker returned 10 the lower moor
and so abused Mrs. Burke and her house
that she teIephoned for a policeman.
Steinso&er left, however before the off,
Ger arrived and must have gone straight
to his wife's house, where he shot HIM
self shortly after.
The story Of his troubles. with the ex-
ception Of the search of Mrs. Burke's
house. was told by Steinacker himself
1t was corroborated last night by Mrs.
Burke. who gave the additional informa-
ton regarding the last visit that Stein
acker made to her home. Mrs. Burke
said further that so far as she knew there
had been no cause for Steinacker's sus-
picions concerning his wife.
