Senate, Committee That Visited Ha-
waiian Islands Makes Public the
Result of Investigations.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The senate
committee On Porto Rico and the
Pacific islands met Monday to receive
the report of the subcommittee ap-
pointed at the close of the last SEES
sion OF congress to investigate con-
ditions in the Hawaiian islands. The
| visit to the islands was made last
September, and covered Is days, dur
ing which time 43 meetings were
held and ITO witnesses were inter-
rogated.
The investigation was general and
covered all questions with which the
government possibly could be con-
cerned, including the laws, local and
federal, and their execution, the pub
lie land, labor, the plantations, the
harbors, taxation, the leprosy settle
ment, Queen Liliuokalani's claims
and other subjects.
Much diversity of opinion was
| found in the territory as to whether
the control of the settlement should
be retained by the territorial govern
ment, though all the territorial Off
GERS we're found to be favorable to
such retention. The committee takes
strong grounds in favor of change.
The committee finds that Queen
Liliuokalani had no personal interest
in the crown lands which have, been
claimed for her, but only an official
interest during her reign. Such in
terest would have entitled her to the
rental of the lands, and the commit
tee finds that from the time of the
dethronement in 1893 to September :,
last the rental would have amounted
to $432,378. In view of all the cir
cumstances the committee recon-
mends that as an act both of justice
and national grace and wisdom that
the senate consider with favor, OF
the lines indicated in this report, the
claim of the former queen, now a
loyal private citizen of the United
States, and make reasonable provi-
sion for her.
