WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 2s.-The
river and harbor appropriation bill will
not be reported to the House till next
Monday, but 1 learn on unquestioned
authority that 1t will carry no items for
Hawaii Provision is to be made for
Pearl Harbor with additional appropri-
alton, but 1 understand that 1t will be
cared for in another way.
The House Committee decided to
leave off the provision for surveys of
the harbors at Hilo, Kailua, Hookena,
on the island of Hawaii, and Lahaina
and Kahului on the island of Maui,
Honolulu harbor on the island of Oahu,
and wafmea on the island of Kauai
The House refused TO include those in
its bill last year, but they were put
on by the Senate. II is probable that
they will be put on by the Senate this
wear. There has been no hearing be-
fore the Committee touching Hawaiian
harbor interests and with no one to
push the matter there is little chance
os action.
The other appropriation bills at this
writing have included hardly anything
of interest to the Territory save the
usual routine appropriations. There Is
nothing before the Naval Committee
regarding the Naval Station, but 1t Is
that a report may be made
from the Navy Department later on
that point

half of the Home Rule propaganda.
Mr.. Caypless called to see him this
afternoon and found him convalescing
slowly.
There is no little expectancy from
this end of the line over the long look
ed for resignation of Judge Humphreys.
Ii is remarkable the change in senti.
ment that has occurred since the judge
was here last summer. BY courteous
receptions to the newspaper men the
judge succeeded in getting some rare
matter in his own behalf injected into
the columns of the New York dailies
and other leading journals of the coun-
try. Il assisted him in doing that"
said Z. :. Little, who represented the
defunct Republican here. Duane f.
Fox, the judges attorney. helped along
some. but, after all, 1 did the busi-
ness.
The judge is a pretty cheap PROPOSE
tiOn,' continued Mr.. Little, as he rode
home the other evening on the tail end
of a fourteenth street car. He con-
ned the people here for a time, but
they are getting on to him now. I
believe he is bound to go after a little
time. He is an element of diScord in
the Islands, and not fitted for the
bench. i am satisfied that the PreSi-
dent would be glad to be rid of him."
The correspondents of the New York
Humphreys and his dispensation, along
last summer. sing a like song. Robert
l.. O'Brien, one of the correspondents
of the New York Evening Post, who
wrote some complimentary things
about Judge Humphreys. stated that
he had learned things since then that
caused him to regret what he had
written at first. Mr.. OBrien said that
Mr.. Fox was the middle-man who
brought him in contact with Judge
Humphreys first. Major Dickinson, of
the New York Tribune, who also wrote
some complimentary things about the
judge and his career in Hawaii, also
said that Mr.. Fox was the middle-man
in his case.
AT any rate, the clippings were care
fully CLEANED by Mr.. Little and for
warded back to Hawaii for reproduc-
ton in Judge Humphreys newspaper.
Instances might be multiplied, but the
surprising feature of the talks is the
unanimity with which all declare their
change of heart as to the merits of
the controversy, although all agree
that Judge Humphreys in his personal
relations was most agreeable to them.
The Hawaiian ditch bill still remains
in committee. 1t was expected that a
report would be made last Friday, but
the committee took it up Saturday and
entered into quite a discussion. There
is a very strong determination. APP
parently, to make the bill very simple
in its provisions. and not grant mo-
nopoly to any ore company. The meas
ure may hang fire for some time yet
The opposition to it has been effective
to an extent, and will probably be
able to dictate substantially the terms
under which it becomes a law if it does
become law.

some time ago expected to come here
OF his own motion, but later appeared
to have changed his mind. The situa-

the President wants the best light OBJ

no radical steps in dealing with Island

JAPANESE IN
NEED OF SAMPLES

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Samuel s.
Lyon, United States consul at Kobe,
transmits to the State Department in
formation regarding the National In
dustrial Exposition to be held under
the auspices of the imperial japanese
government at Osaka from March LIST
TO July 81, 1908.
A novel feature is the establishment
of a special building for samples OF ar
ticles produced or manufactured in
foreign countries. 1t is not concealed
that the primary object OF this invita-
tion is to afford japanese manufactur-
ers an opportunity to study the latest
products OF Western invention with a
view To the improvement of japanese
Industries. The imperial government
proposes to exempt exhibits for the
samples building from the operation OF
the customs tariff. provided the articles
be re-exported within two months from
the date upon which the exposition
shall close II will also negotiate for
special freight facilities for all such ex-
hibits.

APPEAL
TO BOND
HOLDERS
kona Directors in
Letter Make
Request.
ASK THAT THIS
CROP BE MILLED
First National Bank as Trustee
Receives the Statement OF
Conditions and Needs.

" ONA affairs are now to
~ great extent in the hands
IA of the bankers who, as
trustees for the bondholders, have
been requested to step into the breach
and provide the money for the taking
off of the crop. This move was decided
upon at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors which was held yesterday morn
ing.
There had been many conferences du-
ring the week in which the affairs of
the plantation we're placed before sew
eral capitalists of the city. but the re-
suit has been that in each case there
was a disinclination to take up the
matter and push it, The meeting yes
terday morning was full one, and the
board at that time decided to make an
appeal to the bondholders to protect
the property and the security at the
same time, by taking off the present
crop.
The letter could not be secured. as
neither the secretary of the board nor
the officials of the First National Bank
would give out the correspondence.
Cashier Cooper of the bank said that
letter had been received and the re-
suit was that a meeting of the hoard
of directors would have to be held for
the purpose of taking up the matter at
length. II is understood that the letter
is a recital OF the moves made in the
past few weeks, and that a statement
of the affairs of the corporation is
made.
The letter closes with an argument
setting forth the advantages which are
to be gained by the bondhelders taking
up the work of the present season,
thereby enabling the corporation to
make the present crop pay and thus
putting the plantation on it's feet. This
state of affairs would necessitate the
immediate action of the bondholders,
and it is understood that there win be
a meeting for the purpose of discuss
ing the project, held at once.
Should this not be done the consensus
is that there will have to be liquidation
of the affairs of the plantation, which
would take some time and which would
inject into the matter some very inter
estfng problems, as there does not ap-
pear to be in the field at this time any
purchaser for the estate.

M'BRYDE DEAL
CANNOT BE MADE
An Official Report Against the
Proposed Exchange OF
Land.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.
Office of the Assistant AttorneyGen-
eral.
Washington. February Is. 1902.
The Secretary OF the Interior;
Sir: The Commissioner of Pubic
Lands for the Territory of Hawaii, In
written communication, dated February
I 1902 states that the McBryde Sugar
Company a Hawaiian corporation, mas
made application to exchange about 2,UUo
acres of land, owned by it in Zee, situ-
ate on the island of Kauai. for about
5000 acres of public land situate on the
same island, and that Governor Dole de-
sires to obtain a ruling on the question
whether such exchange of land, IL IN
other respects advisable, would be pre-
cluded by reason of the proViso In sec
ton 80 of the Organic Act of the Terri
tory which requires that no ASSOCIATION
hold and acquire over one thousand
q 00O acres.
The question has been referred to me,
with a request for an opinion.
1t appears, from the papers submitted.
that the McBryde Sugar Company was
incorporated May 25 1899. under the gem
eral laws of Hawaii relative TO corpora
tions and joint stock companies. At that
time the power of Congress was supreme
over the Territory of Hawaii and over
the laws established therein 1t could
amend, modify, or repeal any law of said
the exercise of it's power to legislate Tor
the Territory, Congress could revoke and
repeal the laws under which any corpor-
alton was chartered, or limit the amount
of real estate which any corporation op-
Grating within said Territory could
thereafter acquire CMormon Church V.
United States, 1876 L. S, /, 45). That por-
ton of the proviso of section So of the
act to provide a government for the Ter
ritory of Hawaii 81 Stat, 141, 15)), appli-
cable to the present inquiry. is as fol-
lows:
Provided. That no corporation, domes-
tic or foreign, shall acquire and hold real
estate in Hawaii in excess of one thou
sand acres.
1t is plainly evident from the wording
of the above, that Congress intended TO
limit the amount of real estate which
any corporation operating in the said
Territory could acquire and hold TO 1000
acres. The power of Congress 70 enact
such provision is unquestionable.
1 am OF the opinion, and so advise you,
that the exchange of lands requested by
the McBryde Sugar Company IS prohib-
tied by the proviso in section SO of the
aforesaid act.
Very respectfully,
WILLIS NANDEVANTER,
Assistant Attorney General.
