MEETS MIR. PINKHAM.

ION becoming acquainted with L. E.
Pfnkham 1 found him deeply and prac
ticaiiy interested in the general sit
uation of island affairs, and particu-
larly so over legislation desired at the
coming session of Congress.
He was urgent that a proper pro-
cedure should be had before Congress
and had prepared a petition to Congress
for the Builders and Traders Exchange
which he desired presented, not so much
for expected immediate legislation as to
secure a realization among Congress-
men of the exactions of the Federal
Treasury on Hawaii and their neglect
of the Islands. This petition is now
often referred to for facts.
Anxiety was particularly expressed
that the Delegate being new to Ameri-
can Congressional customs and methods
should have some one already expert
enced to aid and save the delays con-
sequent on learning by experience.
Il stated if the Delegate would ac-
cept me 1 was confident 1 could be of
great assistance to him in Washington.
The matter was slightly preached to
the Delegate before his departure.

HIS PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE.

''Some years ago I had quite an ex-
tensive experience in matters before
Congress. My brother the Hon. Alvah
A. Clark, of New Jersey. was mem
Der of tie 45th and 10Th Congress of
the United States.
During the entire first administra-
ton of President Cleveland and nearly
the whole term of President Harrison
I was in Washington engaged in look
ing after department and committee
work, and numerous details that need
more attention than busy Congressman
can spare from their time. In this ca
pacity / aided Congressman Pidcock,

HAWAIIAN AGRICULTURE.

Much work was done at the Agrf-
cultural Department. This depart

Island agriculture, and is disposed to
aid in all possible directions investiga-
ton and experiment that can be of

highly thought of in the department
and his recommendations carry great
weight.
1T is quite proper for me to state to
those who supported me that my per-
sonal labors were continuous and ardu-

was always at the disposal of the dele

HIS SERVICES ACCEPTED.

''On arrival l presented my letters to
the Delegate at the Capitol and was
invited to meet him at his residence the
following evening. After several hours
conversation according to appointment
the Delegate accepted my services.
Eat the proper time Hawaiian af-
fairs We're discussed and steps taken at
once to advance Island matters as rap
idly as circumstances would admit.
"A conference was at once had with
the Hon. ]. H. Mitchell, Senator from
Oregon, relative to bills introduced by
him in the Senate, and his advice and
cooperation sought, which was readily
granted.
These bills covered lighthouses, sur
vey of Hilo harbor, and improving Ho-
nolulu harbor.
AT this conference it was distinctly
understood the Delegate would not take
part in any legislation changing the
Organic Act as contemplated in S. B.
2S9.
The matter of lighthouses was next
taken up. The Delegate personally
called on Speaker Cannon and verified
through him the fact the lighthouse
emergency appropriation was available
for the taking over of the Hawaiian
lighthouses. He also discovered that
the bureau had not and did not COM
prehend that Hawaii was a Territory
of and integral part of the United
States, and not an Insular Possession.
Armed with these facts and courteous
ly accompanied by Mr.. Haywood the
Delegate called upon the Lighthouse
Board and made these representations,
whereupon an order was issued taking
over the Hawaiian lighthouses.
PRIVATE BILLS.
The Delegate introduced the Hawai-
ian Electric Light bill.
The first Representative of the Elec-
trio Company We're not possessed of all
the information the House desired, and
the bill was recomnitted.
Later the bill was again brought up
and A. GartIey. the manager, having
arrived. he went before the committee
and presented a most admirably and
exhaustive report on the electric light
and power business in the larger cities
of the mainland. The completeness of
Mr.. Gartley's presentation was a mark
ed example of the care and exact truth
and proof with which bills before Con-
gress should be supported.
"A cablegram from Mr.. Dillin gham
delayed the passage of the bill. w. o.
Smith met the objection by amending
the bill so as to confine the operations
of the Electric Company to the dis
trict of Honolulu instead of the island
of Oahu, thus the point in controversy
was settled before the arrival Of the
representative, Mr.. Mcclellan.
There was some feeling as to the
ignoring of certain formalities, but the
Delegate good naturally waived the
point and urged the passage of the bill.
II passed.
The Gas bill was introduced by the
Delegate and went through without
difficulty, with but a few minor changes.

THE COUNTY Bull

! The County bill had been previously
| Introduced by the Delegate at the in
stance of Mr.. Hatch, but failed of final
| consideration.
Much Iaborious work was done on
this matter.
Chairman Hamilton of the Commit
tee on Territories. stated that private
Hawaiian legislation had taken up far
more time than the Territory was en-
| titled to, so that he refused absolutely
TO allow further consideration of any
Hawaiian matters that session.
In addition to the previously men
toned bills the Delegate introduced the
following in the House:
H. R. 1914. For a Public Building in
Honolulu.
H. R. s645. For a Revenue Cutter of
/ the 1st class to be stationed at Homo
/ lulu.
III R. ss4s. For Public Building at
Hilo.
III. R. 1902. For Improvement of Ho-
nolulu Harbor.
H. R. 1893. Survey for a Breakwa-
ter. Hilo Harbor.
III. r. 11o31. To refund to the Terri
tory the amount expended since An
| nexation on Hawaiian lighthouses and
, service.
II. r. 1852. Granting power of re-
moval to the Governor.
III. r. 1886. Increasing the number
of Judges of the Supreme Court.
II. r. 1892. Relief of Portuguese
residents on Punchbowl.
H. r. 1854. Regulating the employ
ment of labor on Federal works in the
Territory of Hawaii ii. e., the Citizen
Labor Bid.
This latter bill was introduced at
the instance of the Trades and Labor
Council and the Builders and Traders
Exchange of Honolulu, and created con-
siderable interest so much so that the
entire matter was, at Senator MitchelPs
request, printed in Document No. 279.
MISCELLANEOUS WORK.
"a vast amount of work was done in
preparing statistics that could bear up
on the various bills enumerated. 1t was
necessary to employ clerical assistance,
for a large correspondence was carried
on with various members of Congress
putting On record representations made
in person. and also with the depart
ments
.All this labor was taken so as to
be prepared to make a complete show
ing ana argument Wherever THESE D1lIS
might be called up in committee.
Conferences and interviews were
held with various Senators, and Con-
gressmen, particularly with chairmen
of committees and their members
Chairman Burton of the River and
Harbor Committee stated no legislation
could be had this past session, as no
River and Harbor bill would be intro
duced. but promised by letter and in
person that the requirements of the
Hawaiian Islands should receive i'm
mediate attention at the opening, of the
coming session.
Chairman Gillet of the Committee
on Public Buildings made fair pronnis-
es. though that committee. is the most
beseiged of all committees.
Chairman Hepburn of the Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign COM
merce deferred consideration, from lack
of time, of the Revenue Cutter bill. The
bill, through the efforts of Senators
Perkins and Mitchell, passed the Sem
ate.
