THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

The report of the Senate Committee
received by mail yesterday, corrobo-
rates the summary previously telegraph
ed by Mr.. Walker. the Advertiser
special correspondent at Washington,
and adds a few items not previously
reported.
The report is practically the work Of
Senator Mitchell.
The first impression upon reading the
report is that the Senator has tried to
cover too much ground.
No one who knows the Senator or his
record in connection with Hawaii, viii
accuse him of intentional unfriendliness
toward the territory. We do not ques-
ton either his bona fides or his kindly
disposition toward US and his desire to
do that for the Territory which he con-
siders for it's best interests. But we do
question his ability to come to a strange
community, spend three weeks on the
veranda of the Hawaiian hotel, listen !
ing Unfortunately to every man who
had a grievance to air or an ak to
grind, his time partly consumed with
a trip TO Hilo, one down the Oahu
Railroad and sundry dinners and luaus,
and then know enough about Hawaii,
its laws, government, people, needs and
requirements, to intelligently and ac
curately recommend to Congress the
best legislation for Hawaii. After this
brief experience he attempts to deal
with such diverse, complex and vital
subjects as municipal and county gov ,
ernments, the detail of the land system,
the organization of the Supreme Court,
appeals from the Territorial court to
the Supreme Court at Washington, the
currency question and the leprosy ques-
ton; besides a grist of minor matters
Nor do we believe that the Senate will
accept the suggestion that Congress
should undertake by national legislation
to peremptorily direct whether the -,
aPunchbowP' and the "Auwaiolimu'
lands should be sold or retained by the
nor undertake to name the
persons to whom it shall be sold, and
the conditions of sale, if Congress de-
cides that sale is the proper thing to
be done, all of which the Senator rec
lmmends that Congress should do,

do you
suffer from
catarrh?

You certainly do not enjoy the
nastiness of 1.-THE choking, hawking,
splitting and coughing up of phlegm-
nausea and the bad breath catarrh
causes.
Now, why don't you get cured OF
catarrh?
DON'T you believe it can be cured
Doctor HalPruner knows positively
that it is durable, because he has cured
many cases of long-standing chronic
catarrh.
Halpruner's Wonderful Medicine is
SO made of such ingredients and just
the right way to relieve catarrh at once,
and cures chronic cases with continued
treatment.
Because doctors have not cured you,
and because other medicines gave you
no relief, is no reason why you should
misjudge HalPruner's Wonderful Medi-
cine and no reason why you should
hold any prejudice against it when you
know nothing of its wonderful merits.
HalPruner's is different from other
mediCine-it cures.

There are several statements and rec
concentrations showing superficial or
inaccurate information on the part of
the committee which will be referred to
hereafter; but there is one recommen-
dation which is so cruelty unjust-so
uncalled for and so abhorrent to the
people of Hawaii, that they infinitely
prefer that every favorable recommen-
dalton OF the committee-fire claims,
currency bill, appropriations, bounty
and aIl-should be abandoned, rather
than see it accomplished, and this is
the proposition to make Hawaii a ma
tional leper asylum.
That the committee should recon-
mend this action in the face of the
united opposition of the people of Ha-
wall and should urge an arbitrary en-
actment to force the lepers of con-
tinent upon a protesting people. simply
because Congress has the power to do
so, is incomprehensible to those who
believe in American fair play.
1t is unbelievable that Congress will
ever perpetrate this atrocity; but we
should take nothing for granted. Every
possible influence must be brought to
bear to prevent our undoing.
Many people have half believed that
the intention in this respect, as tele-
graphed, was a mistake; but now they
know that the committee is openly and
positively advocating this act of oppres-
sion. Let us act accordingly.

iect Of the Isle Of Pines treaty, but
the naval stations lease was the sub
ject of long and tedious negotiations.
President Palma and Mr.. Squiers
could easily have reached an agree

merous senators, congressman and
others, whose opinions carried consid-
cradle weight, with the result that
many suggestions were made and some
minor misunderstanding followed. The
question Of smuggling was especially
slow in settlement, the Cuban pro-
posals being so exacting as TO be inn

Washington. July 2-There will be an in
definite delay in the issuance of the presi-
cents proclamation opening TO entry the

that claims heretofore filed have not been
properly surveyed Under the act au-
thOrizing the opening of these lands, the
proclamation could have issued July ,,
or at any time thereafter, and had there
been no irregUlarity the proclamation
would have gone out tomorrow. although
entries cannot be made for ninety days
after the proclamation issues. Steps
have been taken looking TO correcting the
surveys of the mineral claims filed prior
to Jan. l. 1891 which. under the law,
could be. and have been, Tefiled within
ninety days after the passage of the last

have visited the reservation report that
there are no markings on the ground to
indicate the limits of these claims and
until their boundaries are clearly defined,

to entry. New surveys viii be pressed as
rapidly as possible. and il is hoped may
be completed in time TO permit of entries
this year. Early action is especially de-
sired in view of the heavy pressure for

constantly made of the department.

CLOUDBURST IN TEXAS.
Several Deaths Reported and Heavy
Property Loss

San Antonio. Tex, July "A cloud
burst today visited the southwestern
section Of Texas. causing the death of
several persons and entailing a heavy
property loss. No accurate reports of
the loss of life can be obtained as the
telegraph wires are down in the storm
swept section. but enough is known to
warrant the belief that at least twenty
people, mostly Mexican laborers and
farm hands, persisted in the flood.
At Beeville one Mexican was swept
away. Near Normlna zen Mexican
farm hands are reported drowned and
twelve more are said TO have been
drowned at Peltus. The heaviest dam
age was sustained by the San Antonio
& Arkansas Pass railroad. Several
thousand feet of its tracks and one
large bridge were swept away.
