NEW YORK, Dec. IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
II is learned that Germany expects
to have something to say about the
Nicaragua canal because Of the inter
ests of a German corporation in a con-
cesslon that will be interfered with
and probably destroyed by it's con-
structIon.
This interest has been obtained
through the purchase by the Hamburg
American Steamship Company of the
Atlas Steamship Company. The former
is a German corporation and the latter
is British. The Hamburg American
Company is subsidized by the German
government. and its ships can be call
ed upon for auxiliary cruisers Of the
German navy in time of war.

provides for a commissioner Of leprOsy
who shall be a physician of ten years
practice and who shall receive a salary
of $1,000 a year. He Is to reside in New

There seems but one sentiment with
regard to the action of Delegate VIII
cox in introducing the bill reported,
for the creation on the Island of Mo
iol<ai OF A national leper station. The
consensus, not only of the interviews
gwen. but of many more which could
not be had for publication. is that 1t
was a most unwise move in that it
would reach in the advertisement far
and near OF Hawaii as the leper sta
tion OF the country. and this would
prevent the coming of great numbers
Of tourists.
This is not the first time the plan has
been broached, for during the short
session OF last winter Congressman
Kahn. Of San Francisco. introduced the
same bill, but il was too late to have
il passed by that Congress. The opin-
ion seems to be that coming from the
delegate from these Islands it Will
mean more than from a natural enemy
Of the Territory. There is no doubt
but the proposal will be fought. and
II ii is found necessary to create
station il will be argued for some island
far away from this group.
Prince Cupid said that he did not
think IL would make very much diff
ference, as everywhere, according to
his experience, Molokai was spoken of
as a leper settlement The fact Is, he
said, that there would be no greater ad
vertisement Of the fact Of the presence
OF Ieprosy with the making OF the res
crvatiOn national than there is now.
General j. F. Soper said that he was
utterly opposed to the idea. as it would
simply give TO the world one thought
which ever would be- connected with
Hawaii that IL was a lazarettO. This
would damage the country very much
and would be well nigh fatal to the
chances Of the building up Of a great
tourist trade He considered the fact .
that such a bill was introduced as
great misfortune. and the people should

and has always failed. II should fail
now II would be ruin TO the country
to have Il spread about that the lepers
Of q nation were gathered In IL. There
would be a complete Identification OF
Hawaii with the disease. and people
would stay away, for the reason that
they would get the idea that there
was a perpetual epidemic. We know
that the disease is not an epidemic.
but the general public does not know
This and will shun the Islands so that
they may keep as far apart as they
ran. II would be- a disaster should
such "a bill become law.
Hon J. A McCandless said that he

CALLED ON THE QUEEN.

Mr.. Caypless and Mr.. Wilcox spent a
portion of the afternoon of Dec. Il,
Thursday with ex-Queen Liliuo1alani,
at her apartments in the Ebb,tt House.
She and her encourage still remain at
the hotel. although, as stated in the
last letter TO the Advertiser they ara
contemplating moving to a private res
idence as soon as they can find a suita-
BILE one. Her visitors found the eX-
Queen in good health and spirits. She
has taken no steps towards asking
Congress for relief in the matter of the
crown lands. except to talk it over with
IA Washington attorney. whom she may
engage to press her claim before Con
Cress.

Wilcox introduced Il few days ago ~

respective committees on public lands.
WILCOX'S BILLS.
At the last meeting OF the House.
which was yesterday Mr. Wilcox Of
fered two public buildings bills. One of
these is for a public building at Hfla,
to cost not exceeding 500. 900. The 9TH
er is for a public building at Honolulu,
to cost not exceeding S1,G00.000. The
bills follow the usual forms for public
buildings, containing provisions tor
to purchase sites and pio-
visions for fire-proof vaults and he
like. Mr. Wilcox will urge both bills
especially the bill sor u build
ing at Hilo. where. he says, the needs
are very great. It looks now as though
some public building legislation would
be allowed in the House this winter by
Speaker Henderson. who has absolute
authority about such matters. If :kat
proves true, il would not be surprising
if the Territory was allowed at least
one building. In view of Secretary
Cooper's strong recommendation for
building at Honolulu, the infuen e for
a large appropriation there Will be

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
The Cuban situation, has developed
more favorably to the interests of the
Hawaiians in the last week. The square
refusal of the House Ways and Means
Committee to allow any reciprocity in
trade with the Philippines, save for
remission of internal revenue duties on
beer and tobacco going to the Philip
pines, is thought by some to mean that
nothing will be done for Cuba, as the
demands are along almost the same
line. The argument Is being made that
the Cubans have no organized govern
ment of their own yet. and it would be
foolish for Congress to undertake rec
iprocity legislation until such a govern
ment is finally established. Men who
penetrate the future, however, say that
not many years are likely to elapse be-
fore annexation of Cuba to the United
States will be accomplished. The situ-
alton as to reciprocity is hardly likely
to become very clear before the middle
of January, for Congress adjourns for
three weeks next Thursday. Little be-
yond the ratification of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty In the Senate and
the passage Of the Philippine tarin bill
in the House will be done before hat
time.
