~ ASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
u " Senator Stewart, of Nevada
i introduced a bill early in De-
cember to- provide an American regis
ter for the barkentine Hawaii, on the
condition that she should not engage
in the coasting trade Of the United
States, except between the Pacific Coast
and the Hawaiian Islands. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on commerce
of which Senator Jones, of Nevada, col
League of the author, is a member. He
reported it out of the committee favor
ably, January IA, in the following Ian
guage:
Evidence filed with the committee
shows that the owner of the Hawaii is
James Rolph Jr., of the firm of Hind,
Rolph & Co., of San Francisco. and
that this firm has built, or are now
building, in United States shipyards, l3
vessels, aggregating a tonnage of S.4S9
| tons, and has purchased and is now OPP
Grating nine other United States reg
istered vessels aggregating a tonnage
of 1928 tons, making 1917 tons in all.
also appears tHdl Tic LII III VI
Hind, Rolph & Co. is composed of
United States citizens. In 1889 the firm
needed four additional vessels for their
trade between San Francisco and Ha-
wall, in which trade they have been
engaged for many years past, the firm
owning plantations in Hawaii. Owing
to the crowded condition of United
States shipyards, both on the Atlantic
as well as the Pacific coasts. they found
it impossible to have built but three of
these vessels in a United States ship
yard within the required time, and
were therefore compelled to place an
order with the firm of Archibald Mac
MILAN & Son, Ltd, of Scotland, for the
Hawaii, which was to have been finish
ed about April, 1900. Owing to the rush
of work in the British Shipyards, due
to the breaking out of the South Afri
can war, the vessel was not delivered
until August, 1900, which was after the
Hawaiian annexation had taken place,
under which, had the vessel been de-
livered in contract time, she would
have been admitted, with the other
vessels in the Hawaiian trade, to Unit
ed States registry
The bill is as follows:
ITO provide an American register for
the barkentine Hawaii.
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, that the Secretary of the
Treasury is hereby authorized and di
rected to cause the foreign-built bark
entine Hawaii, owned by James Rolph,
Junior, of San Francisco, California, a
citizen of the United States, to be reg
istered as a vessel of the United States,
and said vessel shall not engage in the
cept between the Pacific coast and the
Hawaiian Islands.

The reference to the wife as the

the wife is confined to her bed the hus-

the sunshine and laughter have been
taken away. 1t is not to be wondered
