D0WSETT ON
HAWAII AIRS

]. M. Dowsett. a member of the Ha-
| waiian Senate, was passenger on the
liner Siberia. He is on his way to New
Jersey, where he will place in school
his son. Dowsett is largely interested
in, the sugar business
He says that the industry is thriving
and that prices are good now, although
they have not been satisfactory for
some months past He says the local
political issues are at present the theme
OF heated discussion in Honolulu; but
that the natives take no interest in
national politics, for the reason that
they have no vote upon such questions.
The Americans, he says, have sought
to interest the natives in national af-
fairs, but with small success. The two
parties in local Hawaiian politics are
the Home Rule party, which seeks TO
retain native control of the islands, and
the American party, which includes ali
the whites and large proportion OF
natives.
Dowsett says that there is really
little friction between the races. In

Dowsett saw the transport Sheridan
and the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria
as they lay on the reefs. He says the
natives-and, in fact all the residents
of the islands-are terribly distressed
over the liners loss They We're as
proud of her as though she belonged
to them and fear she will be replaced

sentation in the official call being thus:

tory may appoint ten delegates and not
more than twenty Delegates
Governors are among the ex officio
members with all the privileges of dele
gates except voting.
: Each county may appoint one dele
gate through it's executive officer.
Each business organization one
delegate and one additional delegate
for every fifty members, provided, how
ever, that no such organization shall
have more than ten delegates
A free forum for the western coun-
try is declared as the aim of the
congress, the executive committee say
ing it '3would be pleased to receive
suggestions from any commercial, in
erence to subjects to be discussed; or
from any governor, mayor or citizen
of the trans Mississippi states" The
right is reserved to exclude any sub
-iect political in its nature.
In the catalogue of subjects in the

ton act. 1t will be remembered that

for bringing Hawaii within benefit of

Among questions mentioned, besides
the leading ones OF Importance to the

several in which Hawaii might find

general or speciaEin other words, for
gaining useful information or for plac-
ing the Territory in line to give its
needs common cause with those of the
great and potential West. For ex-
ample: Harbor Improvement, -

A PREACHER
Starts Movement to Watch the Chi
cago Police Hoping to Put a
Check to the Wave of
Crime.

Chicago, Jan. 30.--Plans for an or
ganization SO perfect and so far reach.
ing that every policeman in the city
will be kept under constant surveli.
lance white on duty were made this
afternoon when the anti-crime league
met in the offices of w. C. Keougn on
La Sale street.
the .scneme which was formed by
Rev. John Thompson, is to organize
at once a large central committee,
this committee to have charge OF all
details relating to Ghe police and then
incompetency or neglect of duty.
Besides the central committee,
ward committees are to be organized
and in turn these committees will
form precinct committee. Each will
report to the other and thus will II
be possible, according to the belief cf
Rev. Thompson, to keep every police
man in sight at all times and to know
at once if he neglects his duty.
1t is hoped in this way to put o
check on the wave of crime oil al
scriptions which has been sweeping
over the city and causing the name OF
Chicago to be held up all over the
world as SYNONYM for crime.

WAGE SCALE
DEMANDED BY THE MINERS GOES
OVER
Eight Hour Proposition Bitterly
Fought by the Operators Who
Win Their Points-Other
Convention Affairs.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 30-There /:
no longer possibility Inat the con
troversy that is being waged by the
members of the joint scale committed
will reach any definite conclusion re
garding the question of an increase III
the wage scale of 121a per cent as de
manded by the miners.
That this portion OF the demands
will not be further touched upon by
the scale committee was announced
after the noon adjournment OF the
committees Tuesday. In accord with
the policy of former years, the ques
ton OF an increase OF the wage scale
will be referred to the joint confer.
ence at a meeting to be held, prob.
ably, Wednesday morning, and thSn
will be placed in the hands Oh a sub
scale committee which will report tn
the major committees.
There are strong assurances that
the next session oil the Joint confer.
ence will be held Wedne. day morning
The business to come before the com.
mittee has progressed to the point
where a partial report to the joint
conference is possible. In the session
Tuesday morning, the members OF
the committee considered the propO,
sition submitted by the miners con-
vention to limit the age OF boys who
may be employed in or. about mines
to sixteen years.
In the opinion of majority of the
members OF the scale committee the
sixteen year limit is too high, ana
the demand of the miners, aILer beng
modified until the age limit is placed
at IA years, was adopted.
The only other matter discussed By
the members of the scale committee
at the session was the demand Tor an
eight hour day from bank to bank,
This means that the eight hours the
miners shall work shall be computed
from the moment they enter the shaft
until they come out of it.
This proposition developed the real
discussion of the session and was
bitterly opposed by the operators
They contended solidly against the
proposition, and when a vote was
taken the eight hour demand was
lost.
With the settlement OF the question
covering the age limit for boys EN-
ployed in and about mines and the de
feat Of the rm-of-mine and eight houl
propositions, there remain but the
Questions regarding uniform day wage
scales for employees of various classes
about the mines to be considered.
When the scale committee took III
its work Tuesday afternoon the re
naming phases of the miners de
mands with the exception of the de
mand for the 1914 per cent increase
we're considered.
Tuesday afternoon, Frank L. Rob
bins of the Pittsburg operators sait
that he believed that the scale com
mittee would be ia position to re
port to the joint conference Wednes

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES
Met at New Berlin to Reorganize
Board of Education.

New Berlin, O., Jan. 3O.-The town.
ship trustees met on Saturday morn
ing in their Office and transacted the
monthly routine business. They also
reorganized with Joseph Schario as
president of the board. The other
members are Lewis Lind and j. w.
Wise. Trustee Schario's term would
expire June 1897, but no doubt he
will serve next year. The constitu-
tiOnal amendment having done away
with township elections in the even
numbered years, an exteIA-ion will
likely be passed by the legislature.
