Governments as to Their Views.
Washington, Aug THE statement
was made tonight in high official cir
cles that, contrary to the reports from
abroad, the United States has not been
sounding the European governments
with a, view to ascertaining their views
of what should be considered contra-
band in the present struggle between
Russia and Japan. This government is
determining for itself what classes Of
merchandise it considers contraband
without suggestions from any other
power, and when a decision has been
reached its attitude on the subject will
be made public.

competent here to judge AS to what
We want In the way OF a county act
than they are in Washington.
"Should We now proceed with the
Territory in charge of all government
and the County Act case should be ap.
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court and the U. S. Supreme Court
should decide that the County Act was
valid we would be in a state Of great
confusion here.
II think II a message was sent 10
Washington today. urging Congress 10

reasoning after the clause relative to

IL there was not an appeal to Con-
gress to pass the County Act as II
stands, there would be still further diff
flculties to face. The speaker said he
was aware there were some who had
political objections to the County Act
as II stands but there was no question

certainly nothing In the utterances OF
this last conference to indicate that
he will lack earnest, intelligent, enthu
siastic support by continuing on this
course.
Advices already received state that
the proposal for Congressional ratif-
cation has advanced in both the House
and Senate to favorable report from
the committees to which 1t was re-
ferrsd. This disproves the contention
that Congress will scorn the idea OF
passing law for the Territory of Ha-
wall. We have the cable ut our COM

whatever that II met the requirements
OF a large percentage Of the reasonable
people Of the community. In referring
the matter to Congress to pass upon,
It might be suggested that provision
be inserted by means Of which the local
legislature could make amendments
found necessary from tiI,e to time.
According to Mr.. Stewart, the Leg
islature had not failed to make appro-
priations for the carrying on Of the
work Of the government. What to do
in the meantime with reference to the
matter of finances? The proper course
was to use the credit Of the Territory

ford help. When the Governor had
inquired carefully into the matter he

asked to tide over the difficulties now
existing here.
II. E. Cooper.
H. L. Cooper said that he did not be-
l'eve the situation to be serious. There
was no use to call the legislature and
no need to 60 to Congress. Speaking
t. the Governor direct. Mr.. Cooper
said that he had clean slate, accord
( ing to the way he looked at the matter.
and he had The right to go ahead under
/ the loan bill and spend the money that
had been appropriated. The appropria-
ton bills OF 1901 were in force from
now on. II was altogether unnecessary
to go TO Congress. There should be
10 move to indicate that the Territory
was about to relinquish the rights that
had been given to It under the Or
ganc Act. The thing to do was to
look forward and not backward and
any attempt to go TO Congress would
certainly eb step backward. The
Territory was perfectly capable Of TAX
ing care OF itself. County government
was surely coming and working gov
ernment could be made. This could not
be brought about in moment and II II
was necessary, there was no harm In
Waiting until the next session Of the

ter could be carefully considered.

l. A. Thurston.
l.. A. Thurston, being called upon.
stated that he believed the business
men should he heard from. since all of
those who had gone before had been
either attorneys or newspaper men. He
then proceeded to express his views.
The speaker said the legislature had
failed to pass appropriations for cer-
tain of the departments Of the govern
neDt AS to the matter of appealing
to Congress, that was point which
he would not like TO pass upon OFF,
hand. The Supreme Court, in his opin-
ion, had failed in its duty when 1t did
not pass on all the points that had
been presented. IL should have gone
ahead and passed on every one so that
those who attempted to frame a bill

eft Of the opinions handed down. As
It was at the present time. the same
mistakes might again be made and any

Doesn't Want II.
Mr.. Thurston then went into the
Question of whether u county act was
wanted or not. A good many people
had been stampeded into thinking they
wanted county act by the express
sions heard on all sides that every
body was in favor Of 1t. The COM
munity and the electorate he did not
believe were in a condition for a
county act. The people had never had
anything to do with electing the rrl.

islature. and even in this respect they
had been barred to certain extent.

since the place Of the executive was
to carry out the wishes OF the people.
The legislature did pass the six and
eighteen months appropriation bills.
He, for one, could not see how anyone
could go back Of this. They did It In
their wisdom and IL there was any
question about anything appertainins
thereto, the only proper thing to do
was to go right back to the legislature
and work out the American system OF

to listen than to talk. However. he

believed that the Territorial Govern.
