Hawaii a.a Dsie's Administration.
There has gone forth an erroneous i..'-

Il want to say he continued that in
spite of all the reports that have been
put in circulation here, Governor Dole's
administration has the strong endorse

he has been an able and upright official.
and has done as well as any man could
under existing conditions. He has like
wise the confidence and good will of the
native element. People with ulterior mo-
tive have criticised his official acts. but,
without partiality. 1 fail to see that there
is any justification or solid reason for
their complaints. His removal would, in
my opinion, be a severe blow to the well
fare of our country.
"A very serious condition confronts
Hawaii right now in the scarcity OF labor.
The only good. reliable working class
there is found in the Chinese population.

JAWBREAKERs FOR READING
CLERKS-TrOuble for Them I'm
Spanish and Philippine Island
Names Found I'm bills Before


The reading clerks of the House and
Senate have had their troubles multiplied
since the outbreak OF the Spanish war,
as subsequent events have brought to
Congress communications containing
names from tue Spanish and Philippine
tribal languages that battle pronouncia-
tion. The best part of these communica-
tions is. however, that few IL any per-
sons within the sound of their voice are
better acquainted with th epronunciat tions
of the names than the clerks themselves,
so they just humble them over and let it
go at that.
A few days ago one of the clerks had
just finished reading communication
that contained several names that looked
like a line of pied" type when bill was
presented by Senator Berry, providing for
the construction of a bridge over the
Ouachita River. in Arkansas.
"A bill for the construction of bridge
across the Oo-a-cheat-a River" read the
clerk. remembering his study of Spanish
pronunciation.
''Wah- che -taw,'' corrected Senator
Berry. putting strong accent on the last
syllable.
That's tough" murnured the clerk.

"The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico
are a particularly interesting race"
Mr.. W. II. Pope, of Santa Fe, who bears
authority from the United States Govern
ment to look after the interests OF the
Pueblos, remarked to a reporter for the
Times last night at the Shoreham.
They differ from the nomadic Utes,
Sioux, and Comauches in that they dwell
permanently in their pueblos, or towns,
Just as white men do. There are about
twenty of these pueblos, and some of
them have reservations of land embrac-
ing 100000 acres. Each pueblo elects its
own governor and council. and new Of
ficials are chosen yearly. Their govern
ment is surprisingly efficient. Except
where some citizen of a different country
is involved, they do not want outside help

N. Lnmpre and His Canal Oner.

NJ. Lampre, the representative of the
owners of the Panama canal property in

United States, moves in and out of the
New Willard. with the hurried air OF one

wears full blond beard. In manner and
speech he reveals the born Partisan of
the better class.

quiry. 81 am simply waiting the turn of
events. The public knows all that do
that the canal has been offered to the
United States in good faith, and that a
perfect title is Forthcoming. The idea
that the owners are in league with any
body to cause delay in the construction
of a canal is utterly baseless."
What news have you from Franee?"
NJ. Lampre was asked.
There is no startling news. but your
paper has printed the recent vote of
$50, ,O0O,0 900 for public works. That
tells the story of the prosperity of the
Republic. We have not in France many
men of such stupendous fortunes as
America, but there is a more equal dis
tribution Of wealth. The peasants work
along contentedly. as their ancestors

save little money. In times of public
