JUDGE HUMPHREYS DEFENCE.
Hearing Before the Attorney Gen.
eruI in Removal Proceediu=S

A hearing was held before the Attorney
General yesterday on the charges pre-
ferred by the Bar Association of the Ha-
waiian Islands against Judge Abram s.
Humphreys. of the Circuit Court of Ha-
wall. Fred w. Hankey was present as
the representative of the Bar Association.
and Judge Humphreys. who was also
present. was accompanied by his counsel,
Duane E. Fox. of this city.
The charges are that the judge is en-
gagged in the publication of a partisan
newspaper. the Honolulu Republican"
that he takes part in bitter political con-
troversies: uses his position to further
personal ends. and that he is harsh and
vind!ctive toward members of the bar.
The entire afternoon was occupied in lis
tening TO Mr.. Hankey and Mr.. Fox. In
the first paragraph of the brief which
Judge Humphreys submitted he says;
Permit me to call attention at the out
set to the notable fact that in spite of
the voluminous material filed against me
and the very evident industry with which
every act OF mine which could possibly
be made the subject of a complaint has
been scrutiniZed and laid before you, and
the apparent disregard of expense with
which the persons opposing me have
undertaken their labors. there is 10
charge affecting my integrity a man.
my impartiality as judge in the trial of
a cause or my knowledge of the law. In
those particulars in which the public is
most interested lest the fountain of JUS
tice be corrupted. the petitioners for my
removal seem to have found no ground
of complaint, and l may perhaps say
here, without impropriety, that of the
cases tried before me which have been
carried by appeal or writ of error to the
Supreme Court of the Hawaiian Islands
(about seventy, only one has been re-
verSed
Judge Humphreys takes up the charges
separately. and introduces documentary
evidence to refute the charges. He repre-
sents that the opposition to him is largely
political. and that his opponents are men
who are in sympathy with the Dole
regime. and not with the administration
of the United States authorities.
Mr.. Hankey asked at the conclusion of
the hearing that he be allowed time in
which to file a brief and the Attorney
General granted five days.

THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
The Inauguration of Two of the Ma
tive Members.

Judge Taft, President of the Philippine
Commission. cabled the War Department
yesterday from Manila announcing the
appointment and inauguration of DR.. Par
do de Tavra and Benito Legardo as mem
bers of the Philippine Commission. He
reported that 1t was decided several weeks
ago to APPOINT three Filipinos upon the
commission and that Jose Suzuriago, the
third member, was unable to be present
at the ceremonies, owing to illness.
This is another step toward the forma-
| tion of general civil government in the
Philippines. The Philippine Commission
will do the work OF a national legislature
and will be an advisory council to the
Governor. The new government will be
formed on this basis, with Judge Taft as
Governor General and the commission as
mixed council. The three Filipinos just
appointed will take an active part in all
the deliberations and will vote the same
as the American members.
This form of government will continue,
under the Presidents military power. un-
til the Supreme Court decides the remain
ing insular cases relating to the Philip
/ pine Islands.

FAIL TO SIGN THE PROTOCOL.
Chinese PIenipOtentinries Do Not
Comply With an Imperial Edict.

The State Department received de-
spatch from Commissioner w. w. Rock
hill, in Pekin, yesterday, in which he
stated that an imperial edict had been
received by the Chinese pienipotentiaries
directing them to sign the protocol on
August 2S He said. however. that the
instrument was not executed on that
date, and the reason assigned by the Chi
nese for their failure to attach their Sig
natures as they had been directed to do,
is that they were awaiting further edicts
regarding certain terms and conditions
of the protocol. These are in relation to
the punishment of certain Boxer Offend
ers, and the suspension of the privilege
of examinations to residents of certain
cities and towns. where the outrages oc-
CURED last summer.
No explanation is made as to why they
should withhold their signatures to the
instrument because OF certain clauses,
when they have been instructed to sign
the whole protocol. The draft OF the pro-
tocol was agreed to by the representa-
tives of the Powers, seV eral weeks ago.
and the Chinese have been awaiting the
arrival of tn imperial edcts.

COST OF GOVERNMENT.
Reduced War Expenses Account for
Decrease in July and August.


Although the expenses Of the United
States Government are supposed to
be increasing year by year. yet the
expenditures during the months of
| July and August last were nearly
| s13.0o0.0Oo less than in the same
| months last year. The decrease is at
| trihuted partially to the reduced expenses
| of the military establishment. the costly
| campaign In China being over. and war
| in the Philippines practically ended.
Upward of 100000 of the reduction in
| current expenditure, however, is due to
| decreased payments for civil and miscel-
| laneous purposes. The failure OF the
| River and Harbor bill at the last ses-
sion of Congress is probably responsible
| for the saving.
| The monthly statement of receipts and
| expenditures published by the Treasury
| Department yesterday shows that the
| total income from customs internal reve-
| nue., and all other sources of income in
| the month of August was Si5, ,39i 125 or
| about s4.0oo.0io less than In August 1900
| The total expenditures were s39, ,35l. .i97, or
| about Sl1.Oc0.0D0 less than in the same
| penses of the War Department were only
| s.. 800. 6l5. against SIS 231. 100 last year.
| The expenses of the Navy Department,
on the other hand. increased about half
| ments decreased from S. 1IO, ,0Sl TO S. 463,
! O25
| The receipts from internal revenue
| sources are decreasing. but not in the ra-
| ito expected when many OF the war taxes
4 were abolished. When the new revenue
1 bill was under consideration last winter
| the leaders of the Senate Finance Com
| mittee estimated that the proposed
| amendments to the old law would cause
| a decrease of fully 100000 in the re-
| ceipts of the Government from internal
| revenue in the fiscal year 1902. The expe-
| rience of the first two months of the fiscal
| year does not bear out this prediction.
| and the result may be ascribed to the
| phenomenal business prosperity of the
| country.
| The internal revenue receipts during
July and August were s50.374.975. as
| against s53 GLE. 424 in the same months last
| year. If this ratio proves constant the
| loss of revenues for the entire fiscal year.
| due to the amended war revenue laws.
| will be less than s20.000.0O0, instead of the
| $40. 100000 predicted by the Senate Finance
| Committee.
| The excess of receipts over expenditures
| for the first two months of the fiscal year
| gives the Treasury a surplus of 81. e55. .377
| despite the comparatively heavy expendi-
| lures incident to the first part of a new
| fiscal period and the decrease in internal
| revenue receipts. 1t Is believed the sur
| plus for the year will reach fully $780,
| 900 OOO the greatest since 1883.

NO DANISH ADVICFS.
OH1cinls Unaware of Development in
West Indies Negotiations.

The State Department has not yet been
advised that the new Danish Ministry has
consented to sell the Danish West Indies
to the United States for 900 kroner.
the equivalent of about s4.3000oo in Amer
lean money. AS is well known, negotia-
tons have been going on for some time
between this Government and Denmark
for the purchase of the Islands. 1t is un-
derstood that the United States once
made a tentative offer of s3,5O0.00O for
them. Whether or not the offer has been
raised since then the department will not
now state.
The islands are said to be an expense
and a burden to the Danish Government
and the authorities there have been anx-
ious to dispose of them 1t is probable.
therefore, that a deal will be consum-
mated within a comparatively short time
and that treaty providing for the change
of sovereignty will be submitted to the
Senate at its next session.

THE PRESIDENT WORRIED.
Purport of State Mcssnge Concern
ing south American Difficulties.


on August "a. during Secretary Hays
recent visit to Washington. a telegraph
c message was sent TO the United States
Ministers at Caracas and Bogota, direct
ing them to inform the Foreign Secretar-
les OF Venezuela and Colombia Of the
Presidents distress on hearing of the
likelihood of a disturbance in the rela-
tions between those two Republics. Ad-
verting to the possibility that the infiu-
ence of the United States might be exert
ed to compose the pending questions. the
Ministers were directed to say that, while
the relations of this Government with
both nations are equally intimate and
friendly. and every opportunity is taken
to show good will toward them, an of1er
of the Presidents kindly offices to ar
range any differences, which may exist
between them would be ineffective with
out their joint acquiscepce.
Inspired by the sentiments which are
common to all the Governments of the
American Republics. the United States
would sincerely deplore breach of the
amicable relations that at this time ex-
ist between the sister nations of the
Western world. 1t would sincerely regret
any action by either of them which might
menace the security of transit across the
isthmus. or the neutrality of it's terri
tory, thereby constraining the Govern
ment of the United States to consider its
responsibility under the functions of the
existing treaty arrangements with CO.
lumbia.
The text of Mr. Hays telegram has not
been made public. An acknowledgment
Of its receipt has been made by the Ven
eZuelan Government. 1t is friendly in
tone. and, while charging invasion by
Colombian forces on the Venezuelan bor-
der, and referring to the temporary sus-
pension of diplomatic intercourse which
has occurred. the way appears to be
open for explanations.
Venezuela has not declared war against
Colombia. No acknowledgment has been
received from Bogota, but this is suppos-
ed to be due to the reported delays In

| gotta and the coast stations.
