GRAPHING MONUMENTAL.
Federal Jury Reports Bad State of Af-
 fairs in Hawaii.

Honolulu, November So.-The federal jury, which was charged by the late Judge Estee, reported today to his suc- oessor. Judge Dale. The report accuses the late legislature of systematic and monumental grating" and recklessness in the granting of warrants for work never done, and for excessive overcharges $5O,OOO having thus been spent altogether.
 The house vouchers, says the report, presents an astonishing spectacle. Many clerks are mentioned by name, Represent ative Kumalae is criticised, and s. Meh- lula, the clerk of the house of represent atives, is indicted for the destruction of political documents. Several vouchers in his favor are missing. The grand jury reports that the prosecutions be made in the territorial courts, as 1t believes the federal courts are without jursdiction
 Another indictment found, is against James Haknole. cashier of the internal revenue office, who is charged with the embezzlement of one hundred dollars.

 ders in Chicago.

Chicago, November 30.-Provisions for the protection of life from the pis- tol of the bandit and hold-up man were submitted by Mayor Carter IT. Harri- son to the city council tonight. The sale of firearms is to be regulated and the buyer must pay license after giy- ing satisfactory evidence that he ought to be allowed to possess any kind of firearm.
 The fearful use made by the car barn robbers of magazine guns and the many murders and attempts at murder through the possession of revolvers led the mayor to suggest that measures should be passed which would largely aid in checking crime by removing weapons from the hands of old crim- inals and keeping them from youths who desire to emulate bandits.
