The following is a reply MI Girvin

ion for a limited immigration of Chi

with great care. 1t speaks for itself:
Washington, D. c., Feb. 3, 1904.
Jas. w. Girvin, Esq, Honolulu
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
favor of the 18th ultimo and beg to
reply that the letter you refer to of the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of same was in
advertently omitted through being mis-
laid.
I fully realize The Importance of the
subject of Chinese immigration which
has had my earnest consideration and
is most unfortunate that we are placed
in the present dilemma. OF course
you are aware of he general objec-
lions attending it and also the diff
Guilty of attempting to remove them
that had been done heretofore.
The matter was brought to the no.
tee of the leaders and other members
OF either house and in our conversa-
tons they gave me very little encour-
agenent. It is my opinion that we
cannot obtain consideration at this
Congress and have, instead of attempt
ing to force the issue, that is to say
to convince them of their probable err
ror, but to show that by education of
the masses here they can realize of the
undeserving discrimination that is
made to Chinese and that the despised
people have been and are the most
favorable class of. laborers for our
field work and may be elsewhere and
also be the means of furnishing work
to skilled labor for American citizens
The general makeup of Congress is
favorable towards Hawaii but the re-
ports frequently received from there
of clashing views on ma tiers now pend
ing before Congress seem to retard the
progress of any Hawaiian measure be-
fore its proper committees. IT has
been impossible for me to get the mem
bers of the committees together to talk
on Hawaiian matters as they complain
disgust at the continued disagreement
of representations that are made di-
rectly to them 80 consequently they
leave Hawaii in allegiance. Let US
hope however that a favorable oppor-
tunity will avail that may result in
being granted some relief.
Yours very truly,
J. KAIANIANAOLE

Following is Congressional meas
ure of local interest:
Mr.. Powers, of Maine, from the Com
mittee on the Territories, submitted
the following report. (To accompany
H. r. 7274:
The Committee on the Territories, TO
which was referred the bill Oh. r.
7274 to amend section 70 of an act en-
titled AN act to provide a government
for the Territory of Hawaii" having
considered the same, submit the fol-
lowing report:
Section 76 of the act ito provide
government for. the Territory of Ha-
vail approved April 30, 1900, de-
clares-
1t shall be the duty of the United
States Commissioner of Labor to col
lect, assert, arrange, and present IN
annual reports statistical details relat-
ing to departments of labor in the
Territory of Hawaii, especially in re
Iation to the commercial, industrial,
social educational, and sanitary condl-
ton of the laboring classes, and to all
such other subjects as Congress may,
by law, direct. The said Commissioner
is especially charged to ascertain, at
as early a date as possible, and as
often thereafter as such information
may be required, the highest, lowest,
and average number of employees en-
gagged in the various industries in the
TER to y, to be classifiel as to nativity,
sex, hours of labor, and conditions of
employment, and to report the same to
Congress.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, in his letter
of transmittal of the report on the
general condition of labor and industry,
makes the following recommendation:
1 wish to renew the recommendation
made when the report for 1901 was
transmitted, to the effect that these
reports, which under the existing pro-
visions of law must be made annually,
be made at longer intervals than now
provided. Once in four or five years
would answer every economic and So
cial purpose. Annual reports relating

law. are not nece ssa.y. Industrial and
social changes era neither rapid nor
great enough to warrant the expersa
of cole ting the nee a.y data and
preparing reports to Congress annually.
Hon. G. w. w. Hanger. Acting Com
missioner of Labor, in a letter dat d
January II, 1904, to Hon. Gordon Rus
sell, of Texas, a member of the sub
committee which had III s bill ader in
vesti2ation, lin answer to an inquiry
submitted to him, makes the following
statement Two annual reports have
been made under the original bill, and
the co lection of statistics for the third
annual report is now being prosecuted.
From the character of the statistics
which have been secured each year,
and the Information accompanying
them, it seems quite evident to the
Bureau that changes in labor condi-
lions in the Hawaiian Islands are not
sufficiently rapid or great to Warrant
the expense of collecting the necessary
data for annual reports" He also
states that the passage of the dill
which has his approval will not only
save expense to the Department of Com
merce and Labor, but will also save
the expense of printing and publish
ing these annual reports of Hawaii,
which are not paid out of the appro-
priations of that Bureau.
The bill also has the approval of Hon.
George B. Corte1you, Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, in letter dated Jan.
10, 1904, and addressed to Hon Gordon
Russell.
After careful investigation the Com
mittee on Territories are unanimously
of the opinion that there is not suffi-
cient good arising or resulting from the
annual reports as to warrant the OK
pense thereby incurred, and that the
passage of the bill will necessarily do
away with considerable expense both
of taking the statistics and of print
ing the same, and that in the interests
of economy, without in anyway inn
pairing the efficiency of the public SER
vice, the change proposed in this bill
can be made and should be. The COM
mittee therefore unanimously recon-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. O.
Political interest has been revivifed
here within a few days by a somewhat
remarkable political debate in the SEN
ate Senator Arthur Pue German, the
minority leader, having played the
Isthmian canal issue to about the limit,
with little success from popular stand
point, although he has forced from the
executive departments the last scrap of
information about the treaty negotia-
tons, including some very confidential
papers held in secret at the Senate, has
launched a new theme OF discussion. 1t
will probably be a leading issue in the
Democratic platform to be adopted at
St. Louis next July provided it works
out we'll in the Senate discussions.
MORGAN'S NEW GAME.
This new issue, if new it deserves to
be called, is embraced in a sentence: :
Improvements for the benefit of COM
merce instead of preparations for war.
When Mr. German gets the slogan COM
pletely fashioned and catchy for the pub
lie ear it will read something like that
He will not declare himself in opposi-
ton to the army or the navy but he de-
clares that our military and naval ex-
penses are climbing too high, that APP
proximately 100000. 900 annually for
the maintenance of the two great branch
es of the military service is too much
for this country to pay. The changes are
to be rung on that 1t has already been
enlarged upon by Senate orators.
LODGE ACCEPTS CHALLENGE.
Will it take? Oh course that is the
question Mr.. German and his party as
sociates are interested in. Senator
Lodge, who is the administration leader
on that side OF the Capitol in all mat
tiers political, has been prompt to meet
the issue and has submitted an array of
argument to ridicule and confute what
Mr.. German has advanced. The Mas
sachusetts Senator is very able. Presi-
GENT Roosevelt y fortunes COulQ ndFOly
be entrusted in better hands in the
Senate. Senate Democrats have an ADLER
battery OF political orators now than
they have had at any time in the last
eight years. They will drive this issue
home and there is every evidence that
the Republican orators are fully pre-
pared to meet If at every DOivt Mr.
German waited till it had been decided
not to have any River and Harbor APP
preparation bill at this session and also
till it had been decided not to have any
public building bills. Mr. Lodge is get
ting ready to fight strong battle for
great appropriation for the navy. His
own party in the Senate is not altogether
in favor of that. Then when Mr.. Lodge
sounded note about economy to pre-
vent an appropriation for the St. Louis
'air, Mr.. German deity jumped in He

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
rood deal of the politicakdebate for
the next week or two can be expected to
follow these outlines. 1t will be a fight
to a finish between Mr. German and Mr.
Lodge. Both are we'll able to take care
OF themselves and both have able as

1t is doubtful whether those who have
been heralding Mr. Germans dire de-
feat in the election of Isador Rayner as
Senator from Maryland, are altogether
correct III their conclusions. There is a
very strong probability that the election
OF Mr.. Rayner was altogether accepta-
ole to Mr.. German, although for party
reasons he could not appear as regarding
it in that light More than two weeks be-
fore the election of Mr. Rayner Mr.. Cor
man was telling some of his friends con-
fdentially that the election of Rayner
need not be a surprise. This much is GER
tain: Rayner's election pacihes the indie
pendent Democratic vote of Maryland,
which has become the deciding factor in
all Maryland elections 1t pledges Mr.
Rayner, who is the leader of that indie
pendent contingent, to support the party
ticket with all his ability. He is the most
popular public speaker in the state. Ex-
Gov. John w. Smith, who was supposed
to be Mr., Germans candidate, is dis
gruntled but he has no very powerful
following. He comes from the Eastern
Shore, whereas Mr.. Rayner comes from
Baltimore, which comprises most OF the
Independent Democratic vote.
REPORTS Crafty ROOSEVELT.
The reports constantly coming in
from Republican Congressional district
conventions are very gratifying to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his friends. These
reports show that the conventions, each
ct which elects two delegates to go to
Chicago in June. are pledging their dele
gates to vote for Mr. Rooseve1t's nom
nation. There has never been any
serious doubt about his nomination. but
all doubt II one is warranted in using
that word IN such a connection. will soon
be removed, as the total of pledged dele
gates will exceed majority OF the Chi
cago convention. The strength of the
President increases daily. as the issues
are joined regarding him and his ad-
mlnistratlon. The discussion is forcing
his friends to activity and there is ev-
err! reason for believing that he will go
before the convention at Chicago as
strong with the delegates as President
Mckinley was with the delegates at the
Philadelphia Convention four years ago.
