CHIEF M'LENNAN'S
HAWAIIAN REPORT
Payment Of Our Bonds-CabIe
Needed-LocaI Party
Discord.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-w. F. Nc
Lehman. chief of the warrant division of
the Treasury Department. has returned
from Honolulu, where he went to carry
out the law Of Congress providing for
the payment of the Hawaiian debt. Tn,
debt amounted to SlS6. 400. The United
States Government assumed the payment
of 100000 worth of bonds
These bonds" said Mr.. McIennan to-
day. were of different varieties, includ-
ing the $50 and 1890 year classes. bear
ing interest at Az, and 6 per cent. a
year. Embraced In the Congressional
resolution annexing the islands was a
provision contemplating their payment by
the United States. but II was only at the
last session of Congress that the neces-
sary funds for their liquidation were APP
propriated. The holders of the bonds
were located at various places throughout
the country and in London. Payment
was made through the First National
Bank of Hawaii, located at Honolulu.
and of the 100000 worth authorized to
be discharged. all was paid with the ex-
ception of $4,000 in bonds. which still re-
main unpresented by the holders. Many
of these bonds were held by residents of
the United States"
In speaking of observations he had
made upon his trip Mr. McLennan added :
wv" what saw tne HAWAIIAN ISL
ands will cost the United States Il vast
sum of money before they are completely
Americanized. American institutions
while making rapid inroads, are not yet
as thoroughly established as they might
be, but, of course. 1t requires time for
such developments. and, altogether, the
progress made in this direction Is salts
factory. While Hawaii will cost this
Government a great amount of money
there is everything to lead to the belief
that We will receive in return equal
benefit in one form or another as an in
evitable result.
One thing must be accomplished i'm
this connection. however. and the sooner
the better. That is the laying of the
Hawaiian cable. There is a general de-
mand for this instrument of rapid COM
munication throughout the islands Bust
ness interests demand 1t and the people
are extremely DESTROYS of securing il.
"A subject that has been attracting a
great deal of attention throughout the
islands recently is the discord that exists
between the Executive and Legislative
branches of the local government 1t
seems that the native element predomin-
ates in the territorial Legislature and
It's policy and action in the past have
not agreed with that of the more pro-
gressive or American element, which is
In the minority. Recently the Governor
or the territory submitted to the Legisla-
lure number of local appointments. and
owing TO native opposition some of them
tailed of confirmation. The action of
the Legislature, therefore was not of a
harmonious nature and caused consid-
cradle feeling throughout the islands
Inc Legislature adjourned some time ago
without taking action on some of these
nominations, but will reconvene Shortly

OPPOSED TO
THE AGITATION

Delegate r. w. Wilcox is opposed to
the continuation Of the agitation by
the Independents against the Governor
He believes that there is no good which
may come from it, and that there will
be nothing done at once in the case, SO
that a following of this course will be
effective only in that 1t may bring
about a feeling at Washington which
will hurt the chance of the Islands to
secure what is needed during this WIN
ter.
Mr.. Wilcox said yesterday that there
could be no good result from the con-
sideration Of the name of David Ka-
wananakoa for governor, as he was too
we'll known as a Democrat. and as
there Is a Republican administration
at Washington. there could be no 9TH
er than a Republican appointed to the
governorship, should Governor Dole re-
sign.
Other leaders of the Home Rulers are
Of the opinion that 1t would be unwiss
to go on with their attacks upoa the
Governor, and 1t Is probable that the
meeting of this week will be as mild
as 1t once promised to be wild.

islands and in the United States. For
the purpose of liquidating the bonds
held in Honolulu, "A sum amounting to
"A million and IA quarter of dollars was
drawn from the Sub-treasury at San
Francisco and shipped to the former
city, while those held in San Francisco
We're redeemed through the Sub-treas-
ury in that city. 1t was necessary that
all the bonds which were to be redeem
ed should be sent to the Treasurer of
the Territory of Hawaii for vertical
ton and certiiication to the agents be-
fore they could be paid. After this
was done and the interest computed on
each bond, certificates We're issued by
the agents in the name of the holders
in Honolulu, and they were paid
through the First National Bank of Ha-
wall. The holders of the bonds held in
San Francisco We're paid through the
Sub-treasury on the certificates of the
agents emitting them to payment
over $l,O00,000 of the amount paid in
Honolulu was disbursed to four bank
ing institutions. The appropriation for
the payment of the Hawaiian Postal
Savings Bank deposits having been
made more than a year ago, holders Of
the bonds seemed not to be certain
when they would be redeemed by the
United States Government, and during
tn year 1900 the bankers of Honolulu
seeing "A good measure of profit in the
transaction, purchased the bonds from
the bondholders considerably below
their par value, thus realizing for
themselves a good profit.
Besides the bonds which have been
redeemed in Honolulu there is a loan
outstanding amounting to 100000,
which is held in London. This portion
of the debt of Hawaii, which is includ
ed in the amount appropriated for the
redemption of the bonded debt, is no.
payable until the end of this calendar
year, when payment will be made in
the British capital.
1t may be added that the various
governments of the Hawaiian Islands
have always met the interest charges
on its debts promptly and fully.

BY the terms of the joint resolution
approved July !. 1898. the Hawaiian
Government was required to pay the in
terest on the bonded debt SO long as the
then commercial relations between the
United States and Hawaii We're contin-
ued. This obligation on the part of the
Hawaiian Government ceased on June
Is, 1900. when the act to provide a gov
eminent for the Territory Of Hawaii
was made effective. After that date the
interest was unprovided for. and the
Secretary of the Treasury assumed
that, under fair construction of the
resolution providing for the annexation
of the islands, it was incumbent upon
the United States Government to pay
the interest accruing after the date of
annexation. Accordingly, sum
amounting to s192. l05 was appropriated
to pay approximately one years inter
est on the debt assumed by the United
States. less the payments made TO
liquidate the deposits in the Hawaiian
Postal Savings Bank.
All of the bonds issued by Hawaii
bore a percentage of interest large
Wnen compared with DOnuS issued by
other governments. More than 100000
of the issues bore per cent interest;
$64l, 800, ; per cent interest; and only
SO, 900 at a lower rate, or Az per cent.
AS above stated, on March 8, 1901 an
appropriation of 1925, 429.69 was made
to enable the Secretary of the Treas
ury to redeem bonds amounting to that
sum. 1t was not until April, however,
that active steps We're taken to pay the
obligations assumed by the United
States. 1t could not be ascertained by
the Treasury Department in whose pos
session the bonds were, because all of
the issues We're of the coupon variety,
which are paid to the holders thereof,
the holding being prima facie evidence
of ownership. However, 1t was found
that about $1,000, 900 of the bonds We're
held by several banking houses in San
Francisco.

senting six issues between August s.,

Extra" Councilmen's Seats.

only two points We're discussed at
any considerable length at the hear
ing yesterday on the writ of alterna =
tive mandamuS to compel common
council To seat the seventeen "aldi-
tional' common councilmen.
The first of these points was the
sutticienCy of the respondents answer.
EN-City solicitor Nosburg, who ap-
peared for the "eXtras," contended it
Was not definite and explicit in many
of its paragraphs and that the law
requires il should be definite and eX-
plicit in all of them.
NJ. j. Martin, of O'Brien X Martin.
who might likewise be called AN eX-
city solicitor, appeared for the COM
mon council as at present consti-
tuted, argued that the latest Supreme
court decision says il is very neces-
sary To be definite and explicit to
some one general intent, and tha, this
requirement was complied with in the
answer the respondents made To the
third paragraph of the plaintiff's bill.
This third paragraph involved the
other point provocative of extended
discussion. 1t deals with the regular
ity of the apportonment of extra"
common councilmen. on which the
plaintiffs base their claim of election.
The Act OF 1891 says that The appor-
tionment shall be made by commit
tee of councils and be based on re-
turn Of the resident taxables made IN
July. The Act of 1895, dealing with
the transition of cities from one class
to another, says that the proper ofi-
GERS shall be elected at The next en-
suing election" following the date of
the receipt of the governors cegfi-
cate. ~s
In this city the number of resident
taNables was procured By Recorder
