RECOMMENDATIONS BY SENATORS,

After three months of consideration
of the evidence which was submitted &c
them. the members of the sub-commit-
tee of the Senate Committee on Pacihe
Islands and Porto Rico have reached
conclusions as to improvements IN the
administration of the laws of the Ter
ritory.
Of the many recommendations two
,nust he regarded as most important in
their bearing upon the future OF the
Territory. These concern the land laws
and the leper question. The latter rec
ommendation, that MoIokai be made
national lazaretto, under control of the
Marine Hospital service. is the Wilcox
plan. the feature of the efforts OF the
Delegate which, when placed before the
people of this Territory. had the most
to do with the burial of his political
aspirations under an unprecedented ma
iority of ballots. The trend of the in
nuiry of the senators seemed to be IN
favor of the retention of the manage
ment of the unfortunates at home, and
both Senators Mitchell and Foster be-
fore leaving here, declared their opposi-
tion to the plan which they have now
endorsed though it was always a fea-
ture of the thought of Burton.
OF the recommendations on the ques-
ton of the lands there was distinct
foreshadowing in the course of ques-
tioning adopted. Each of the senators
who We're here has had much to do
with the public land system of the
United States. The system is familiar
to them and they seemed to be inclined
to the belief that what was good enough
for the western territories, with almost
unlimited areas, must perforce be good
for this Territory. The inauguration of
the federal system would mean the
placing OF the lands under control locals
Iy of an office whose two officials would
comprise local court for hearing
causes, with appeal to Washington.
The sale of the Punchbow1 lands to
the Portuguese is recommended to save
TO the occupants their improvements
and homes. 9.,-s rsF rfe
The recommendations for the pay
ment of the fire claims, the construc-
ton of harbor improvements, FOUR
cent bounty on coffee and federal con-
troll of the lighthouses are welcome aid
to projects which are close to the peo-
pie. and the municipal government idea
is as firmly in mind here as at Wash
ington. There will be opposition to

and the end is not by any means
reached.

Meeting of women,s Board.

There was an interesting meeting
yesterday of the Women's Board Of
Missions at the parlors of the Central
Union Church. Miss Sumter, the mis- :
sionary among the local Chinese, said
she found many Chinese girls who re-
fused to have their feet unbound. They
think small feet are the marks of lady
hood. The sum of S444 was contribut-
ed last year to the Puudita Ramabai
fund, to go towards the support of 1000
girls in India. The board will soon
open school to teach Hawaiian girls
the rudiments of cookery. Mrs Lead
ingham, at yesterdays session, read an
interesting paper on "The Essential
Qualifications of Missionary work as
Drawn from the Scriptures

Work of the z. W. G. a.

At the quarterly meeting of the Y.
w. c. A. it was decided to begin the
raising of money for a summer home
at Wahiawa. The lunch room reported
a surplus of 5000. During December
there were &c callers, and in Christ
mas week 100 dinners were served.
The number of lunches for the month
was 1864. Fourteen persons applied
for employment, and six got it. Mrs.
Brown, the secretary, had made 191
calls, and received 1906 callers.

The special cablegram sent by the Ad-
Vertiser's Washington correspondent.
giving the recommendations of the
Senatorial Commission which visited
Hawaii last summer, was received early
yesterday forenoon. For some unex-
planned reason the Associated Press did
not include ii in the afternoon SER
vice, so it appears as fresh news this
morning. The value of keeping a spa-
cial cable correspondent at the news
centers is thus exempIified.

The late Bishop of Panopolis, whose
funeral occurs today, was a singularIy
lovable man whose life was patterned
upon thai of the Founder of the Faith.
His predecessor, the Bishop of OIba,
was priest of the church militant, and
as such doubtless found work to 60 in
a country where the prevailing temper
was hostile; but the Bishop of Panopolis
was the gentlest oS men, setting an ex-
ample of mild character to all his
priests and winning by invitation rather
than by blows. The growth of the
Roman Catholic communion during the
fourteen years of his service at the
head of the See. is proof of the efficacy
of his methods. Probably Roman
Catholicism counts more converts than
any other church establishment in these
islands, the Mormons coming next and
the distinctive Protestant bodies rank
ing third.

A REPUBLIC OF TROUBLES.

II must indeed be a wonderful coun-
try that can stand revolution and tur-
mon year after year and still keep
its head among the portraits Of the ma
tions Such a country is Venezuela
In area it is almost a hundred times
the size of Hawaii. 1t has poDula-
ton of about two and one-half millions.
Yet in that large area that number of
people do not seem able to stay without
crowding They must either fight with
the outside world or quarrel among
themselves and they are waging either
one or the other conflicts all the time
and between times some of them stack
up big fortunes. The greater portion
of the people, however, are only mis-
cradle beggars, unindustrious and un-
! willing to develop their soil. But on
the other hand the country itself has
An earthquake about ninety years ago
shook the country all to pieces, totally
destroyed the seaport city of La Guayra
and wrecked other smaller towns. Dur
the naughty Spaniard swept over the
country from end to end, plundering
and robbing everywhere, and accom-
panied by cholera which laid the Vene-
zuelans out by the hundreds. But the
South American finally triumphed and
in revolutions has been busy fighting
himself ever since.
The country is really one of vast re-
sources. It's big waterways, the ORR
noeo, Apure, Cawra. Negro, Meta, and
Guarico, are all navigable for big
steamers giving the people an oppor- !
tunity to market their produce in
Europe cheaply. But the people do not |
make the products. They leave this
work for the foreigner, the result being
that they get into his debt. He wants !
tity, and a foreign blockade ensues.
Ultimately the people have to dig up
the money some way.
The Venezuelan government is model
led, in a fashion, after that of the
United States but the two are no more
dLAhS NOW THAN a pea ana Dean. Al 7
though the legislative power is vested
in a Senate and House of Deputies and
the executive power is supposed to be
vested in the President and a senator
and deputy from each district, forming
his cabinet, the President is the alb
solute ruler. His power is almost
despotic and the progress or decadence
of the country depends almost entirely
on the man in Office and upon his abiI-
lty and strength of arms.
The country is attractive and has
several fine cities. There are sixty
cities of from 5000 to 1900 inhabitants
in each. Caracas, the capital, is said
to be not unlike Honolulu in some re-
spects, although it is some 5000 feet
above sea level. 1t is well laid, contains
beautiful homes, has fine parks and in
the evenings a government band dis
courses the sweetest of music while the
people promenade on the plazas.
Because of it's fine situation on the
Caribbean seaboard the country should
dominate the other northern South /
American republics but internal disor-
1ers make this impossible
