DOLE'S VETOES
TURNED DOWN
UNANIMOUSLY SAYS HIS
LANGUAGE RESOLUTION VETO
Is ALL RIGHT BUT IT WON'T DO.

The Senate played football with Cow
ernOr Dole's vetOes this morning. The
language veto was thrown into the
scrap heap first. This veto disapproved
the joint resolution asking Congress to
make the Hawaiian the official lam
guage the same as English.
Every Senator who spoke on the sub
jeCt said that the Governor was right;
that his reasoning was sound that the
use of the Hawaiian language as shown
by the experience of Arizona and New
Mexico with their indigenous language
troubles would delay statehood. But
they all voted to override the veto.
The reason given by the Republicans
was that the Republican Territorial
platform contained a plank asking for
just what this resolution asked for.
Every Republican senator thought ev-
cry senator not bound by the Repub-
lican party platform ought to vote to
sustain the veto, because the Cover
nor's reason for his veto were Cogent
and sound.
Then the Senate proceeded to pass
the joint resolution over the Governors
veto by a unanimous vote, A. Crabbe
being absent.
The veto of the beer license act was
garroted as effectually as the other, but
not quite so artistically. On the vote
there were nine against sustaining it
when it took ten. But Senator Achi
moved a reconsideration and in a whs-
per got Senator Kaohi to change his
vote making the required ten votes to
pass the measure over the Governors
veto. Senator Dickey challenged Achi's
right to move a reconsideration, seeing
that he did not vote on the prevailing
side. Achi insisted, however, that he
had voted with the majority, which
was true, but under the rules gave MIN
no right to move a reconsidera ton, and
his motion was allowed.
Senator Cecil Brown in urging the
passage of the bill over the Governors
veto said that the bill could be amend
ed at this session so as to meet the
Governors objections, and that the
Governor was more of a prohbitionist
anyway, than he was a license man
and that he would probably veto any
license measure. Senator Baldwin de-
clared that this did the Governor an
injustice; that he would sign a license
measure if it did not have the grave de-
fects ne had pointed out in this act.
But the bill was passed over the Gov
ernOr's veto, II to 8.

law now before the Island Legislature
is passed in its present form. The
law requires all companies doing busi
ness in the islands to make a deposit
with the Territorial government of
500, 900, or to invest that sum in island
real estate. The companies, of which
there are 70 or so doing business in Ha-
wall, state that the business there is
not large enough to warrant their
sending so much money to the islands,

they wanted, but he proposed to carry
out his pledge as the members of the
Senate had done. Kumalae followed in
the same strain. His speech was a long
one, rapid as it was in delivery, but
the lobby remained full, many of the
Senators stopping to listen. Pulaa
came next. He said that when he heard
of the veto of his resolution he felt like
a squid that had been speared, aIG ne
proceeded 70 turn the spear the other
way He declared that he was pain-
fully surprised at the Governor vetOing
what the people wanted and that the
Legislature had power to remove Dole
if he didn't behave.
Keliinol made another effort to defer
consideration and was voted down by
the veto at once, and he proceeded to
argue against the resolution. BeCkley
took occasion to suggest incidentally
that such a resolution might cause
Congress to retaliate with a Curtail-
ment of the privilege of free suffrage.

move the previous question and got the
usual sit down." and it was here that

Wright during the midst of a debate
on the vetoed joint resolution, I've
been asleep"
You're out of order" replied Beck
ley, and the debate went on. 1t lad
lasted to after l o'clock and seemed not
likely to end soon.
The House engaged in one of the
windiest debates of the session today
over the language resolution which
was vetoed by the Governor yesterday
Incidentally the argument was enliv-
ened by a remark by Pulaa that the
Legislature had power to remove the
Governor. The House had bound itself
earlier in the session to consider the
matter before adjourning and the
members couldn't get away to lunch
con.
KeliinOi moved for recess saying
he wanted time and would probably
sustain the veto. Beckley wanted to
know if he had changed his mind since
voting for the resolution.

The Royal Mail Steamship Miowera,
Captain Hemmiug, arrived this morn
ing from Sydney and Suva, displaying
signals Of mourning. Four days ago
the purser of the vessel, Harry Bell

ness of two days and was buried the
same day at sea.
Bellmaine had been on the MiowerA

Harry Bellmaine was stricken with
his fatal illness April when the yes

equator. He was given the best at

LITIGATION
IS PROBABLE

There are a good many more than
500 people reaching out for the $1,000
600 coin that is coming here on the
Korea and the other money represented
by the fire claims bonds which lie in
Governor Doles safe, and the litigation
over the bubonic plague fire and its
results is by no means nearly over. In
fact Treasury Agent Mcclellan will find
himself involved in a many sided con-
test that may last a very long time.
Hundreds of the successful claimants
have contracted debts since the awards
were made and their creditors will go
after the coin now. There are insur-
ance company claims and a lot of the
awards have been assigned on advances
by money lenders.
1t is said that there will be hundreds
of garnishee suits against Mcclellan or
the bank and the courts may have a
couple of years more work straighten-
ing matters out. The Chinese claims
are practically all assigned as we'll as
most of the japanese while the Gre
ditors of the claimants are each for
himself. There is said to be some
question as to whether a. garnishment
will lie and this will be the first pro-
blem.
According to McClellan's instructions
as provided by the act of Congress
making the appropriation, the money

A SUGAR PLANTER
FROM FIJI
CHARLES FORBES COMES TO
STUDY OUR METHODS OF Gull
TIVATION AND MANUFACTURE.

The only passenger for Honolulu by
the steamship Miowera is Charles For
bes, an extensive sugar planter in FIJI.
He is here on a tour of inspection Of
the sugar industry of these Islands
with a view to securing any improve
ments in methods of cultivation or
manufacture that may be adaptable to
conditions in Fiji.
THE sugar industry in Fiji he said
today, has not particularly bright
outlook Just at present. The principal
trouble is the same one that you suffer
from here the low price of sugar. Then
we have our own particular difficulties
to meet with The condition of labor
is not altogether satisfactory, though
il can hardly be said that there is gem
eral serious difficulty in this respect
The experiment with Indian labor has
proved fairly satisfactory. Then we
have some difficulty with insect pests
in the cane, though no great losses have
fallen from this source, so far as
know.
THE industry is growing in Fiji not
rapidly perhaps, but growing. One
difficulty in the way of its large or
rapid development is the question OF
land. The land is largely held by the
aborigines, and for their tenure of 1t
the British government has always had
a tender solicitude. But they have no
idea of relative values. They do not
raise sugar themselves, or anything
else as a crop to market, otherwise
than for their own immediate necessi-
ties. So that if a planter seeks to buy
or lease land from them for sugar Gull
tivation they Immediately suppose he
must have it, or that he wants it so
bad he will pay any price for it, and so
they ask prices much higher than the
land is worth. AS sales of land by the
aborigines cannot be made to Euro
peans except under sort of govern
ment surveillance designed to protect
the Fijians from their own improVi-
dence, this consent cannot be asked for
until a practical agreement as to price
has been reached between the seller
and the buyer. With the Fijians ask
ing the prices they do, agreements can
not be reached, and hence the extension
of the sugar industry in hindered in
this way.
Fiji, as you know is a Crown colony
There is an agitation going on now for
a larger representation of the colonists
in the government A great many popu-
lar meetings to this end have been held
and the subject is being given consider
alton by the crown officials"

CONFERENCE
IN PROGRESS

The House and Senate conference
committee on the county government
act began work last night with a ses-
sion in the Senate Chamber a which
number of matters were settled. There
was considerable lively discussion but
agreements We're reached on all the
propositions taken up, with one eXcep-
ton This was the matter of the lines
of division of the two counties of Ha-
waii. The Senators and Representatives
were not able to agree on this after
much discussion the matter was left for
the next meeting.
Cecil Brown acted as chairman of the
joint conference. The matters agreed
upon We're the naming of the county of
West Hawaii, the House name of Ka-
neopuni being agreed upon and the
choice Of Wailuku as county seat of
Maui and Lihue as county seat of Ka-
uai. Both of these are Senate choices
the House having provided for cleo
tions to settle the choice. AS the cleo
tions would have resulted, 1t is stated
in the Senate choices, the agreement
does not amount to much.

THE TRANSITION
PERIOD ON TRIAL
AT WASHINGTON

More briefs in the Osaki Mankichi
case were received from Washington in
the last mail, being the arguments OF
Hon Frederick r. COudert, Jr., of New
York, who was employed with several
other noted lawyers, by American firms
having large interests in the Philip
pines. COudert appears as of counsel,
with George A. Davis and f. NJ.
Brooks, for Osaki Mankichi. The de-
cision will settle many questions of the
highest Importance as TO the status of
the Philippines, The argument of Cou-
dert contains many interesting and
somewhat sarcastic replies to the his
tOrical argument" presented by AttOr-
ney General Il. p. Dole and handles
without gloves the latter's contention
that Hawaii was not simply absorbed
or conquered but entered into the Uni
on by Treaty, with certain reserVa-
tions among which was the continue
tion in effect of certain Hawaiian
laws, The following are extracts from
the argument
"As we can find no evidence of any
Treaty, il might be enough to state
that no such Treaty exists or then eX-
listed. Solemn agreements between in
dependent nations are not lost or mis-
laid, certainly not by both parties to
the contract Some evidence should be
adduced to substantiate the assertion
that sucn an instrument had been duty
executed by the parties respectively in
terestel But not only does the Coun-
sci insist upon its existence, but lie de-
pends mainly, if not wholly, upon the
effect o. this improved and invisible
Treaty to defeat the contention of the
Respondent in his effort to regain his
liberty.

protection of civilized government.
They safeguarded against this Gala
nifty by Treaty, made while they were
sovereign nation. 1t was one of the
principal conditions of their surrender
of sovereign rights. 1t was retention
of powers expressly reserved
There is nothing very remarkable
about this sentence except the number
of fallacies that have been crowded
into so small compass. There was no
transition period, Hawaii was not de-
prived of the Legitimate protection of
civilized government, there was no
safeguarded by Treaty for there was
no Treaty, there was no principal, or
any condition in the surrender of SOW
ereign rights, there was no retention of
powers expressly reserved.
Possibly the learned counsel who
played so important a part in the
transfer of Hawaii that the power to
make such a Treaty involved the au-
thority to erase the name of the Re-
public from the nations Of the world.
1t may be that the Cession of HaWaiis $
sovereignty, territory and property
