BETWEEN TWO HOUSES OF
CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, February

WASHING1 ON, February Z,
The two houses of congress are getting
farther and farther apart, and appar-
emily the feeling between them is to
be growing Many members of tbs
house realize that The senate is taking
upon itself many f12ctions which We're
regarded formerly as belonging wholly
to the house House revenue bills are
completely changed. nothing but the
title oftentimes remaining. ApDropri.
ation bills are amended and often load.
ed with legislation. and generally the
house has TO accept the legislation of
the senate. Some recent events have
intensified the differences. 4 house
committee has reported Al joint resolu-
ton providing for the election of sen
ators by direct vote of the people and
in doing SO took occasion to cast re.
Elections on senatorial elections and
Legislature ho'ddps as wen as to init

Friends Of the l'dian say that the

have hecu diminished which was
wise the Indians retaining what was
nee, ssary for them Now to lease
large trocs Of tle remaining lands
shuts Jip the Indian too closely besides
interfering with HIS own stock raising
As one man expressed IL: "fhe Indian

no calves fer the indians. while lhe
stockmeH's cows will have twl IS.
What chance has the Indian with the
average cor boy!" There is a feeling
existing That the Indians should moi lie
crowood ngch more, bot that the lands
they have should he lett 10 them.
"Lobsters" In the House.
Tie state OF Maine usually gets what
it pes after ana II the last congress
it Secured an appropriation for lob
ster station. Now the members. want
more money aud some scientific men.
This together with demand made by
North Carolim Tie other daE for an
addition to iish station s,9rted last
year, rogsed the iie OF chairman Can
non of tie appropriations committee.
He tool up the lobster question and
wlnn j sai,ed his purpose used it in
the slanr scnee, making il plain that
he thoueht the crop Of "lobsters" was

Hawaiian L~gsia.ion.
Just how in,ef.e,st!y e2l the Amer
lean CONGRESS- leeislate upon d bill In
troduced ly Dclcrate Wilcox, which
grants d the Hawaiian Ditch compa-
ny RIGHT Of way over LANDS In the dis
trict OF north and south Kahdla, in the
island Of Hawaii is a problem. The
purpose is to maintain bitches. canals,
reservoirs. dams and the like for irri-
CATION. These bitches begin on Pau
kapu and Maliwai and traverse Wau-
pio valley, the Waimea watershed,
Kohala N untain, p lulu gulch and go
through the Gisrc.s Of Kohala and
Hamakua Now, how much knowl-
edge can committee Of congress or
the congress itself have upon this sub
Jectf This matter Of legislating for
islands Of the sea presents just such
complications as this proposed ditch in
Hawaii.
But Wilcox has another bill of 1Ss
pages, or about 10000 words. which
provides for the estY Nshment and
maintenance of a syste free schools
in the islands, namin 3hool officers
and prescribing all tlN fduties. 1t is
a good guess that thiS4 well as most
of the other measuress llich this very
