ate in November or December, and before
you do so my resignation would be In
your hands. | find myself on the eve OF
sailing for England to attend the ses-
sionS of the Alaska boundary tribunal,
quite unable to judge how many months |
shall be kept away from this country,
and therefore now tender my resigna-
tion of the office OF secretary Of war to
take effect upon the appointment and
qualification of my successor. | shall car
ry with me unabated loyalty to your ad-
ministration, confidence in the sound con-
servatism and patriotic unselfishness of
your policy and enduring gratitude for
the kindness and consideration with
which your friendship has honored me. ]
shall not ceass to appreciate the SYM
pathy and loyalty to President Mckin-
ley with which you took and carried on
his work, and | shall always be happy to
have been part of the administration
directed by your sincere and rugged ad-
herence to right and devotion to the true
interests of the country.
Il am, with great respect and esteem,
always
Faithfully yours.

With the exhibition of some feeling,
as result of the differences in caucus,
the second Legislature of the Terri
tory of Hawaii was organized, in a
temporary fashion as to the House,
yesterday morning and the two bodies
adjourned for the purpose of complet-
ing arrangements for getting down
to work today. There was really moth
ing done as the message of Governor
Dole was not ready for transmission
at once, and so the days recess was
had.
There We're large attendances upon
the opening, the House having the
largest crowd, the small room of the
Senate being crowded by those who
wished to see the Republican majority
get into working shape. There were no
flowers, for the people of Hawaii do
not yet come to the point of thus show
ing their appreciation of the men who
have been elected to place. There were
many congratulated however. for the
people of the city were out to greet old
friends, and a holiday appearance was
given to the two houses by the pres
ence of many ladies.
The House furnished the sensation
of the day. The seven members of the
Republican caucus who had objected to
the program of the thirteen, as shown
in Tuesday nights meeting, Joined
with the Home Rulers and chose F. w.
Beckley as speaker. There was, how
ever. no Chance to complete the organ
ization, and the adjournment occurred

.HAWA||'S
INCOME TAX
Why the Law Was
Sustained on
Appeal.

Judge cllDeft OF tne bHlttu Statts w
cult Court OF Appeals handed down "A
decision yesterday affirming the decree
OF the district court OF Hawaii In dis
missing the suit of w c. Peacock and
sixty other merchants of Hawaii
against J. w. Pratt. assessor and col
lector OF taxes for the division of Hoo
nolulu. as a test case on the validity of
the Hawaiian income tax. This brings
to an end the protracted struggle
against the tax measure which was en-
acted by the Territorial Legislature In
the spring session OF 1901.
In 1896 the Legislature OF the republic
of Hawaii enacted n statute imposing
an income tax OF ] per cent annually
with the provision that incomes not
exceeding 81, 900 should be exempt, while
those not exceeding $4,000 should be
taxed only on the excess over $4,000
and incomes exceeding $4,000 should be
assessed without exemption.
BY the enactment of the Territorial
Legislature I'm 1901 the old measure was
radically changed. An income tax OF
2 per cent was levied upon all incomes
exceeding $1,000. Besides this per
cent tax was levied on the net profit
of all corporations doing business In the
Territory. no matter where they were
created and organized.
Against this measure the aggregation
of merchants carried their fight, claim
ing that IL violated the Organic Act of

When the case was carried to the
Hawaiian district court a demurrer was
interposed by the counselors for the
government upon the ground that the
complainants had an adequate remedy
al law. since the disputed measure pre-
vided for tax appeal court. The dis
trict court sustained the demurrer ana
dismissed the case. 1t was then ap-
pealed to the court OF appellate 1uris-
diction now in session at San Francisco.

THE GREEDY BLACKBIRD.
His Capacity For Putting Away Food
Is Enormous.

Which is the greediest OF the
birds-the rock, the jackdaw, the
blackbird, the starting? | have eV-
idence, writes Mr.. Fred Wishaw in
Longman's, bearing upon the vorac-
ity of each, but | almost think that
for his size the blackbird contrlves
to put away the largest amount OF
food. His capacity is enormous and
most astonishing if we compare 1t
with our own. Watch him on the
lawn, busy over his meat course. A
worm moves in his subterraneous
home, all inch or so below the sur
face of the ground. Mr.. Blackbird
hears him and is over the spot in an
instant. Down goes his yellow beak
and up comes the unfortunate wrlg-
Cling victim. A gulp or two and he
Is gone, fair meal in itself, you
would say, and equivalent to a pound
of sausages at the very lowest COM
putation if consumed and consumer
were both translated to correspond
ing dimensions.
But our friend is not nearly sat-
isfed. You may watch him unearth
and devour half a dozen worms, aft
er which he will repair to the straw
berry beds for his entremet. He
will fly along the net until he
reaches some weak spot he knows
of, but which you have not yet dis
covered. With dive and wriggle
he is through and beginning a quiet
half hour among your choicest ber-
ries, during which time he will not
regard the circumstance that such
fruit is worth shilling a pound
or near it. He will 'tuck in" until
he scarcely possesses the energy to
retire when requested to do so by
the human owner of the property,
preferring to hide among the foh-
age and lie low until, with the help
of that remarkably quick digestion
of his, he may feel able to move with
comfort. During tina: hour of Iassi-
tude the green eyed cat may come
and peer through the net, suspect
ing his presence there maybe, but
he will take no cognizance of her.
He is too lazy even to swear at her
and prefers to lie and blink under
his strawberry leaves. He feels like
the schoolboy in the tuck shop who
has had nine penn'orth of jam roll
and is then invited by the captain
of the Junior House eleven to come
and field out. He is ''stodged" al
last and incapable of exertion.
