WHAT HAWAII ASKS OF THE
NATIONAL BOUNTY AND WHY?

reasonable that the remainder OF the
I losses should be paid from the local
/ customs receipts which are now being
| collected by the national treasury. for
/ The following reasons:
| Immediately after the action taken
which resulted in the losses above re-
erred to. the situation was laid before
! President Mckinley. who was then
| charged with the sole responsibility of
! carrying on the government OF Hawaii.
and he approved and directed that a
commission should be appointed to take
violence and adjudicate upon the
/ losses sustained by individuals in the
/ course OF the eradication OF the plague,
With a view to- paying the same. Upon
this authority the Hawaiian govern
nent promised the claimants. many OF
whom are foreigners. that their C aims
would be paid when adjudicated
This commission was later appointed.
and has adjudicated nearly all the
claims. few yet remaining to be de-
cIded.
At the time OF the mourning OF the
losses and the action taken by the di-
rection OF President Mckinley, Hawaii
was still in the TRANSITION state" and
was collecting and expanding it's own
customs revenue. which then and now
amounts to about 100000 a month.
Before any OF the claims were adju-
dicated and paid Congress passed the
organic act. which continued the col
lection OF the customs revenues OF the
Islands. but directed their payment into
the national instead OF the territorial
treasury.
The organic act also prohibited the
Territory from borrowing any money
except for certain specified purposes.
such as public Improvements, etc,
which specifications exclude objects
such as the claims now under discus
sion.
The withdrawal OF the customs re-
ceipts from the Territorial treasury has
left IL so short OF funds that IL Is now
barely able by considerable Increase of
penses. and IL Will be impossible TO
meet the claims above referred to from
current revenues for many years to
come.
Under the above circumstances. the
moral II not legal obligation is upon
the Territorial government to pay the
owners OF property destroyed for the
general welfare. national as well as
Territorial. but they are deprived OF
the means with which to meet this OBJ
legation
1t is a very heavy strain upon the A.
nances OF Hawaii. not only government
tai but general. that 100000 a month
should be RENTED out of the Territory
20 Washington. This, however. is one
~ the results OF annexation which was
foreseen and concerning which there Is
no complaint: but / submit that the
foregoing statements make out such an
exceptional case as warrants the people
vt Hawaii in asking for the considera-
ton OF their proposition without involv-
ing the violation OF any fundamental
principle.

month the disease continued 10 spreao
with a mortality OF nearly 100 per cent.
until cases had appeared IN almost eV-
cry quarter OF the town The iocai
BOARD Of health. the Federal quarantine
officer. and almost the entire local med
Icai fraternity agreed that nothing but
heroic measures would stop the spread
OF the disease, and n decision was ar
rived ut. and carried out. that the only
certain method Of eradicating the dis
ease was to destroy every building IN
which a case occurred and all OF the
personal property situate therein which
could possibly carry infection. As
result OF this policy over thirty acres
OF buildings and their contents were
destroyed by fire. a considerable por-
ton being burned by the accidental
spread OF the flames
The means taken were effectual. the
disease being stamped out within about
six weeks OF the Inauguration OF this
course. after over eighty deaths from
plague.
The eradication OF the plague at Ho-
nolulu was not only a local matter. but
was OF national interest. as, IL II had
become endemic there as IL has done In
Hcngkong and other Asiatic ports. II
would certainly have been introduced
later into other portions or the United
states. Had the national quarantine
authorities been In a position TO do so.
IL would have been eminently proper
and within the scope OF their turisdic-
ton to have. in the national interest
and at national expense. taken the
steps that were taken by the local Ha-
wailan officials. As II was. the work
was carried out by the local authori-
ties, but with the approval OF the local
representative OF the National Board
OF Health
The direct expenses and loss OF prop
erty involved In thus stamping out the
disease were in the neighborhood OF
So 00O. 900. or this amount Hawaii has
already paid nearly $1,000. 600. II has
not. and does not propose to ask that

about fifteen patents upon machinery

AIR. Gregg believes that Minnesota

Mr.. Gregg said:
Times are dull there at present ow-
INK to the low price OF sugar. overin-

advanced so per cent since annexation.
put still all the work is being done by
Japanese and Chinese. white people are
not seen In the canefields. The 10000
whites on the Islands hold positions
as skilled mechanics and the like.

Mr.. Gregg Is greatly interested In the
