WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-The State De

matter Of the appointment Of the retiring
Vail Of Beirut to be Vail OF Brusa. At
present the officials are disposed to re-
gard the appointment in the light Of
transfer rather than a promotion, but
further inquiry into the facts by Minister
Leishman may change this view Of the
case. II was said at the State Depart
ment to-day that it was the original in

former Vail Of Beirut to be sub-Secretary

object of the meeting was not to pass
resolutions but only for discussion.
Captain Kidwen inquired of Andrews
if it wasn't a fact that even Congress
sional acts had been knocked ont by
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Andrews replied that Congress had
simply been asked to remove certain
restrictions in the Organic Act.
r. W. Macfarlane said that no mo-
tions were contemplated in the call
for the meeting, and that it was sim
ply for discussion. He said that it
was out Of order to bring motions be-
fore the house.
Ed. Towse said he did not believe the
people were satisfied to come to a
meeting and go home without deter
mining what should be done.
Mr. Humphreys said that the meet
ing did not belong to the Merchants
Association, but to the citizens Of Ho-
noIulu and they could pass resolutions
if they pleased.
Moroff, a socialist, got up to talk but
the crowd wouldn't stand for the in
terruption.
Geo. B. Mcclellan moved that as
many of the citizens had gone home,
a vote now would not be representa-
tive. He moved for postponement I'M
til Thursday, committee of five to
be appointed in the meantime to draw
up resolutions then to be acted upon.
Mr.. Matthewman accepted the amend
ment.
c. w. Ashford supported the motion.
He favored keeping away from Con-
gress, it was not a good showing for
the people. Besides the mission of
Mr. Hatch had been surrounded with
too much mystery. He opposed the
hole in the corner methods OF the past
twenty years, by which a clique met
in the back Office of Castle & Cookies
and made all the nominations. Shouts
of "sit down." and stamping of feet
greeted this effort Ashford persisted
and asked for ruling. The chair
can restored order by talking himself
in favor of postponement.
w. c. Achi said he wasn't prepared
to vote. A. L. c. Atkinson moved to
adjourn. The motion was killed over
whelmingly. Mcclellan said there
was no possible hope of action by
Congress and a postponement should
be taken w. w. Harris said that
the meeting was not called to consider
the Hatch mission but the county act
and that motions were out of order.
The discussion ended by Mr.. Smith
putting the amended Matthewman res
olution to vote, and adjournment was
taken until Thursday evening. The
ohair uos arnpowarad to anDOinf a
committee of five to draw up resolu-
tons. He will name the men on the
committee today.
Adjournment was taken at eleven
o'clock.

ANDREWS AGAINST IT.

Attorney General Andrews opposed
the motion and substituted another.
He said it was all right to criticise the
action already taken and say we were
able to take care of ourselves. Its
a condition now, and not a theory
which confronts u.s. he said. Those
who want county government may feel
assured that if it is thrown out by the
Supreme Court there will be no gov
eminent, either city, county or Ter
ritorial after the first OF the year, as
the appropriations expire then. For
the first six months the counties will
have to live on credit and I don't
know where we will get the credit
under present conditions. I have
heard all this criticism of Mr.. Hatch's
mission but not one remedy has been
offered. If Congress doesn't approve
of Hatch's mission the Territory will
be without a government for a year.
A session of the legislature would cost
$50, 600. I move that it is the sense
of the meeting that the action of the
merchants In sending Mr.. Hatch to
Washington be approved"

w. o. SMITHS VIEWS.


Mr.. w. o. Smith said that he hesitat-
ed about accepting an invitation to adj
dress the meeting because he didn't be-
lieve that his views could help the COM
munity.
1.-THE status of the county act" said
Mr.. Smith, turns largely on the wis
dom or unwisdom of asking Congress
to ratify the county bill already passed
by the legislature. I agree with the
speakers who want local self-govern-
ment; we all want it. 1t is a new form
of government, practically revolution
in the government of Hawaii, and in
addition to the inherent difficulties
there happens to be an unusual embar-
rassment in the finances of the country.
1T seems now as If the counties
would start without fund or means,
and with only taxation powers, and
taxes not payable until the end of the
year. The appropriations were made to
afford working capital to the coun-
ties, but the statement is made that the
condition of the treasury is such that
1t is doubtful If any funds will be avail
able to the counties. So we are con-
fronted with the problem of financial
credit for the counties. There are pub
lie spirited citizens here who have CIV
en- money and time to further good
government, who approach the self
government idea with misgiving. They
think that self-government should be
the product of evolution-of progress,
and therefore view the sudden change
with misgiving. But both parties and
the government are committed to the
idea of self-government now. The at
tempt was made to pass the law be-
fore and failed, but this law was final

OFFERS RESOLUTION.

J. A. Matthewman offered a resolu-
ton proposing test case in the SUI
preme Court 1.-THE Supreme Court
has said that the present act is in
valid as far as it relates to the Board
of Public Institutions because the title
embraces two subjects. I believe that
the other portion is invalid for the
same reason. We have more powers
here than are usually given to terri
tories. We are in a semi-statehood
class. To take a step backward by
showing incapacity and incompetency
is foolish. 1t is equally foolish to be-
lieve that Congress can act in the
short time before the law goes into
effect. I might say that 1 am now
preparing a test case on an agreed
statement of facts for submission to
the Supreme Court, for parties which
1 cannot name. ] believe that it can
be decided much more rapidly in this
way than any other. 1 move now

upon the appointment of Obaldia as
Governor of Panama. The appoint
ment is regarded as being the forerun-
ner of separation. A resolution passed
by almost unanimous vote which is
equivalent to vote of censure against
the government"
In a letter which followed this ca
BILE message. Mr.. Beaupre commented
on. the "Separatist" tendencies of the
newly-appointed Governor of Panama,
which he said were well known" he
is reported to have said, the letter con-
tlnues that Should the canal treaty
not pass the department of Panama
would declare its independence, and
would be right in doing so? That these
are his opinions there is. of course,
no doubt"
On Oct. 81 Mr.. Beaupre reported
great anxiety over conflicting reports
of secession in the Cauca and Panama
departments.
On Nov. "a, Mr.. Beaupre reported the
situation under control, but expressed
alarm as there was intense feeling
against the government, and also
against the United States, because of
the belief that the United States had
encouraged the secession movement.
Later advices from Mr.. Beaupre have
been already covered by cable and 9TH

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY
Wins a Victory in Harassed santo
Domingo

San Domingo, Republic of Santo
Domingo, Thursday, Dec. 17.-News
from the interior is unobtainable here.
The land lines have been cut.
Gen. Pimentel has raised force
against the provisional government at
Hama. near this city. The situation
is becoming complicated, and the pres
ence of warships is desirable. Arrests
are being made and many persons
have left the city to join the rebels.
The city otherwise is quiet.
The provisional government has
agreed to all the demands made by
United States Minister Powell, includ-
ing the appointment of arbitrators,
and that their decision in the improve
ment company matters in the Sala
case shall be fully recognized and set
tied, not to again be reopened. The
Ros concession settlement is accept
ed, and the Clyde concession will be
fully respected in all its parts. The
minister agrees not to demand any
payment of the pending claims until
March 1, next.
This may be considered to be an
other victory for American diplomacy.
BY the action of Minister Powell the
provisional government is bound by
all the agreements made with former
Presidents VasqueZ or Wos-y-Gil.
