Ban is Removed From Old PO-
litical Offenders in Hawaii.

Honolulu, March IS (via San Fran
cisco, March 25).-Pursuant to the rec
concentration by the legislature, the
photographs of the political offenders
against the old Hawaiian republic and
the Hawaiian provisional government
have been removed from the Togues'
gallery in the territorial penitentiary.
The Hkenesses of come of the most
prominent people of the community
adorned the gallery and the removal
will, it is thought, eradicate what little
harsh feeling remains as the result of
the former political conflicts here.
The bark Olympic is now thirty-three
days out from San Francisco Fears

hire only union men, No agreement
could be reached, however, so the strike
is still in force.

ant measure which will come before the
! legislature was presented in the senate
/ Friday, March Is, when D. Kanuho of
! the native party presented the diSpen-
/ sary bill providing for government con-
Z troll of the liquor traffic. The bill dif-
| fers somewhat from the South Carolina
measure. 1t is not of such length and
/ eliminates the constable or spy system.
/ officers of the department are given
public authority and they alone are eX-
/ pected to carry out the provisions OF
| the act. The other details as laid. down
| by the South Carolina law are observed
/ so far as they relate to the government
| owning and controlling saloons, in
/ speeding liquor. selling in bottles and
not permitting drinking on the premises
where the liquor is sold.
The department is to be controlled by
/ a commission composed of three men
! and an executive officer, who is to he
/ appointed by the legislature. The right
! is given TO every election precinct to
decide whether it viii have dispensaries
| established within its boundaries OK
not and men an6 women over the age of
/ u years are made eligible to vote on
/ this question. In addition to control
/ ling the liquor traffic the bill also deals
] with the opium industry
! The sale of opium is authorized in
/ the dispeuSarfes, but only upon q ply
| a certificate stating that he is addicted
! to the habit can purchase all the opium
/ he MAY require. The principal idea or
/ the bill is to reduce the price of liquor
as much as possible. The dispensaries
! idea is acceptable to the natives of the
J islands and there is very strong prob
! ability that the measure viii be
| promptly passed.
Bar to Consumptives.
A bill will be presented to the house
| this week to prohibit persons afflicted

some stringent measures to restrict it
