CUBANS REVERSE ACTION
Convention Reconsiders Reversi0n
of the Plat Amendment for
the Time Being.
SENDS 4 COMMISSION TO WASHINGTON.
After ConsultatiOn with the Presi-
Expressed Mt n Conference Held
in Washington - Annexation May
He the Outcome.

Havana, April 15.-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention has reconsid-
cred it's rejection of the Plat amend
ment and decided neither to approve
nor reject it until a commission goes
to Washington to reach the "best pos
sible agreement" with President Nc
Kinley and reports back to Havana.
Refused to Go ON Record.
This was done because the radicals
refused to go on record outright as
rejecting the amendment. though yes
terday's action did that in everything
except explicit terms. When Senior
Nunez, in behalf of the conservatives,
pushed the fight to force the radicals
to make a flat-footed declaration the
latter surrendered and accepted to-
DAVIS compromise.

Declares Ruling Final.

of the amendment in Justice to the
Cubans themselves, not taking isto
consideration our own interests. Each
provision is prop to future re-
public. If a committee comes up here
from the Cuban constitutional con-
vention T think it will find that out.
The commissioners certainly cannot
accomplish anything in the way of
notifications Of the Plat amendment.
They will learn what they ought to
know now, that the president has no
power to repeal or modify an act of
congress-. They will be treated all
right when they visit Washington,
but I believe they will go back home
with palmer ideas of the intentions of
the government
Expect. Acceptance.
"I do not consider the vote of the
Cuban convention in rejecting the
Platt amendment as final" said Sen
ator Cockrell. a member of the sem
ate committee on Cuba, after a con-
ference with Secretary Root on this
subject. "Thc convention has voted
eight or ten times on the subject, and
it has done nothing decisive in the
matter. From my knowledge of the
situation. I do not believe the vote
yesterday amounted to any more than
those taken before. I believe the Gu
bans will finally accept the conditions
imposed by congress. although sew
eral more votes may be taken before
the delegates arrive at that point"
Act Like Annexntionint1.
Chicago, April 15.-"The Cubans in
rejecting the terms Of congress are
acting like good annexationists," said
Congressman Joseph w. Babcock, Of
Wisconsin,, at the Auditorium. 1T
looks like long term of American
occupancy, probably indefinite. The
president asked congress to declare
it's will. Congress did so and laid down
the conditions of the Cubans which
the Cubans now reject. They are not
defying the wishes of the president.
They are running counter to the terms
of congress. The president has no
option. He is merely carrying out the
instructions of congress-"

Will Not he Binding.

The commission to be sent Washing
ton, as the resolution provides, shall
endeavor to reach the best possible
agreement with President Mckinley,
but it is explicitly provided that moth
ing it shall agree to or offer shall be
binding unless accepted by the con-
stitution convention as whole.
Must Accept.
Washington. April 15.-At the con-
ferences held here, participated in by
the president, Secretary Root, Secre-
tary Hay, Chairman Hit. Senator Gull
lom. Senator McComas. Senator Cock
rell and others, the opinion was ex-
pressed without hesitation that the
action by the Cuban convention could
not be considered final in any degree.
It is believed, on the contrary. that
if commission is sent here it's MEM
bers will discover speedily the actual
situation, will hasten back to Cuba,
and tell the people there that, whether
they like it or not, they must accept
one of two propositions, the first be-
ing independence on the exact condi-
tons imposed by congress, and the
second, annexation to the United
States.

TEARS, IDLE TEARS. "

IF you have tears. prepare to shed
them" moaned the socialistic statesman
yesterday, and the house did shed tears
OF laughter, Why cannot Representa-
tive Emmeluth appreciate the humor
of his own position. He is always so
serious, so sad. He even takes himself
seriously and no one else does. The
sight of Emmeluth gasping with emo
tion and the salt tears coursing down
his checks would make the master of
a funeral grin. If instead of tears the
statesman would treat the House to an
occasional smile, how much lighter of
heart he might be. Even Governor
Dole might not look such a villain as
he appears now to the jaundiced and
jejune eyes of the mighty intellected
statesman.
But there is one thing among the va
carries of Representative Emmeluth
which calls for serious comment. He
talks a great deal about Americanism
and Americanization, but he is quite
prepared to deny American rights to
American citizens. A Porto Rican has
as much right to come to the Hawaiian
islands as Representative Emmeluth
has to go to California Why does the
Representative deny the Porto Rican
the right which he himself claims.
Is it because the Porto Rican is poor
and has only the clothes he stands up
in. Poverty is no bar to a citizen of the
United States moving freely from one
part of the Union to another. Is 1t be-
cause the Porto Rican is ignorant. Ig-
norance is not a crime, it is a mis-
fortune, and the next generation of Por-
to Ricans will not be as ignorant as
their fathers. Or last of all does Mr.
Emmeluth consider that only he who
has a white skin can be a citizen of the
United States. One almost is tempted
to think that some such idea underlies
Mr.. Emmeluth's action and sentiments.
1t is purely going off the track for the
Representative knows better, but there
are undubitable signs that such going
off the track does take place. The
Representative from the fifth must
really be careful. A brain should
not be strained above a certain point.
If he would quit broodng and go some
where to get a hearty laugh, the world
would not look as black as it now APP
pears.

the stars are So distant that To us on
the earth such change is not pcrceptible
and the Great Bear. which guided Aon-
meas In his wandcrings about the Medi-
tcrrancan, and was the loved constella-
tion Of the Vikings when they swept the
northern seas In their snake like ships
and breasted the pillows Of the Atlantic
centuries before Columbus dreamed Of
the golden west, is the same Great Bear
which we see nightly with it's pointers
marking the pole star.
The sun rises and sets immutably.
We know when Venus will be morn
ing star, and when she will be an even
ing star. We can calculate eclipses of
both sun and moon, not only a year
forward not only two years forward,
but hundred or a thousand years for
ward. why can we do this with such
certainty? Because in the solar system
we live and the planets exist upon APP
parently absolutely immutable laws.
This is very satisfying to our finite
minds. And then comes these comets,
these messengers from space, these
chartered libertines of the Universe,
and astonish our self complacent little
solar system. We may understand that
system but lest we get too self salts
fed, lest we begin in our self conceit to
think we know it ALL comes along a
comet, and our learned men study him,
count his rate of speed, measure his
tail, get out their spectroscopes and tell
us whether there is hydrogen, hydro
carbon or chlorine in the composition
of the caudal appendage. And then we
come to a full stop. We, don't know
whence the comet came from, and
where he is going to. We don't know
why he came. The finite has struck the
infinite and when he thinks he becomes
ashamed, and even appalled, at his own
ignorance, which wells the universe as
with a thick cloud. 1t is good for even
the cleverest of men to have a set back
ceit out of them.
That comets should be regarded as
potents by the ignorant, the remarks
above made will clearly show. Even
now, though the light of knowledge is
so wide spread, there is sneaking
feeling in many heart that the ap-
pearance of a comet portends some
good or ill to the particular section of
earth from which it is observed. But of
this we may be sure, that though to us
the comet may seem erratic, there is a
guiding and universal power all seeing,
all prevailing never beginning never
ending, and the comets are fulfilling
their share in the universe under as
strict law, though we cannot fathom it,
how can we poor pigmies-as the grub
of one species turns into brilliant but
terfly, or the single grain of wheat
brings forth the full ear to gladden. the
heart of the husbandman. A comet is
a very wholesome lesson if any one
chooses to read it.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-05-15
A STRANGER.

There can be no doubt remaining in
the minds of the skeptical about the
comet. He is in plain view Just above
the belt of Orion, and shows unfortu-
nately upon light colored sky. If the
sky were darker the object would be
much more striking but, once located,
it can readily be seen with the naked
eye, and it is striking enough. Through
a pair of ordinary glasses it becomes
very distinct and shows the bright nu-
cleus, or head, the coma, or gaseous ex-
tension towards the sun, and the long
tail stretching away from the sun, mil
lions of miles into space. In fact it is
big comet and we shall probably see
it for some time.
As to who saw it first here there will
probably be controversy. That a comet
had been reported from the great south
ern observatories is true, but no very
great stress had been laid upon it. Some
people now claim that they saw it on
Friday last. 1t may be so. They GER
tainly never made any announcement
of it. The first announcement came
from Charles Elston, principal of
the High School, through c. F. Hart
both of whom saw the stranger in our
solar system on Sunday evening May II.
Upon that point there can be no doubt.
The High School can have the credit
of catching the comet.
There are two classes of comets. The
periodic comets whose orbit is an
elipse and whose re-appearance can
be predicted in many cases with abso-
Lutte accuracy as Enke's comet which
has a period of 3.S years, Biela's comet
period of $3.50 years, or Halley's comet
with a period of 1908 years. These CO.
NETS are inconspicuous and only inter-
est the student of astronomy. Enke
comet is due in August of this year,
but no one of the general will be cram
ing his neck to look at it. Halley's CO.
met is due in February 1910. But be-
sides these there are comets with i'm
mense periods as Donati's which APP
peared in 1858 and was one of the most
brilliant of the century. It's period is
calculated at 2,100 years. But no hui
man mind can tell whether in its long
journey through space it may not meet
with attraction which may throw out
the calculations based upon observa-
tions made during it's appearance in the
solar system. We can only say that
from the data before us Donati's comet
will be due at or about that date. Cog
gie's comet of 1874 is also regarded as
periodic visitor, but his time seems
far above Donatis it is given vaguely
as many thousands of years.
The other class of comets is formed of
those which have an open curve for
their path, either a parabolic or hyper
bolic curve. They come from we know
not where. They go we know not
where. They dart into the solar system
make CALL as it were and depart,
never to return. These casual comets
may appear at any time. No one knows
how many are wandering through space
nor when they will put in an appear
ance, and it is this uncertainty in a
system whose immutable laws our
minds have succeeded in grasping,
which attracts people to comets apart |
from their brilhancy and really sensa-
tional character.
Though there is really stellar change,
