.BATTLESHIP FLEET
SETS SAIL ON JUNE 10
To Test Ability to Operate on For
eign Coast

June 10 is the date set for the de-
parture of the battleship squadron for
the Azores. The feet, under .ommand
of Admiral Barker, will consist of the
Kearsarge, Alabama. Illinois and Massa-
chusetts. the yacht Mayflower. and the
GOLFERS Lebanon, Caesar, and Sterling.
Admrals Taylor and Melville regard
this cruise as one OF the most i'm
portant ever undertaken by the navy.
It is designed to test the ability or an
American fleet to operate on Euro
pean coast, and carry all provisions and
fuel in it's own bottoms.
Originally the destination OF the fleet
was Lisbon, but it was feared this
might be regarded as threat or a
boast. The battleships will coal at sea
even though the sea be running high.
This is one of the most difficult and
dangerous operations to perform in the
the days work of the navy. The course
over and return will cover six weeks.

VALIDITY OF HAWAIIAN
LAWS QUESTIONED
Said to Be Initiated by Debate in
Native Tongue.

Henry E. Cooper, superintendent of
public works In Honolulu, has brought
into question laws passed by the Ha-
waiian Legislature on the ground that
the legislation was debated in the Ha-
waiian language in violation of the pro-
vision of Congress that all delibera-
tions in the Legislature should be IN
English
Although the point raised by Cooper
has not been officially brought to the
attention of the Department of Justice.
it has received some consideration from
officials In the department who regard
the question as one of great Importance
to Hawaii
The provision of the act passed by
Congress on April 80, 1900, which Cooper
insists has been violated, is in section
A. page 1149, of the second supplement
of the Revised Statutes, as follows:
"All legislative proceedings shall be
conducted in the English language"
At the recent session Of the Hawaiian
Legislature the use of English in de-
bate was opposed by natives and they
forced the body TO use Hawaiian under
the threat that they would block all
legislation If English were spoken by
the members.
Cooper alleges that all legislation in
the islands since 1900 was invalidated
by the violation of the provision that
English should be the language of the
Legisla ture, and refuses TO act under
the regulations of the recently adopted
county government act.

FIRE BOAT THE NEXT
APPARATUS NEEDED

the matter of buying fire boat has
been informally discussed. Each year
the matter has been brought up in the
consideration of the District bill, and
each time laid aside. because it was
thought that the establishment of en-
CINE houses and other equipment Of the
department was more needful. The fire
on the water front referred to occurred
while Congress was in session. and Com
the following day had an informal talk
with the House and Senate committees
on the subject Of the fire boat.
Thought Best to Wait.
length. The members of the two COM
mittees recognized the need of the ap-
paratus, but decided that with the new
engine house already provided for, and
the purchase of apparatus for the de-
partment which brought the appropria-
ton up to high figure. it would not be
wise TO add the fire boat to the District
bill for the coming fiscal year.
Chief Dutton believes that the fire
boat is the large piece of fire apparatus
which should be next bought for the de-
partment. He is fearful there will be a
conllagration along the wharves some
day or night in which the department
will be much hampered by the absence
OF an effective boat in the river to aid in
putting out the flames.
1t is probable an estimate for fire
boat may be included in the next sched-
ule forwarded by the Commissioners to
the Secretary of the Treasury.
