Replies to Hughes.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct 13-In an adj
dress at the state university yesterday
afternoon w. ]. Bryan replied to the
arguments of Governor Hughes of New
York in defense of the republican plat
form, dwelling ON differences between
the two platforms relating to trusts
and TO publicity of campaign contrib
utions.
Much time was devoted to the cor
poration declarations of the two par
ties. as discussed by Governor Hughes
before the university students a short
time ago. Mr.. Bryan said in part:
Governor Hughes of New York has
been put forward as the champion of
the republican party to attack the DEM
ocratic remedy for trusts. and the pres
ident seems to prefer the argument adj
yanced by Mr.. Hughes to the argu-
ment advanced by Mr.. Taft. | can
fairly assume, threfore, that the argu-
ment presented by Mr.. Hughes is not
only the strongest argument that has
been presented, but the strongest ar
gument that can be presented, because
Mr. Roosevelt would not pit him
against our platform if he were not
the strongest opponent. He has been
sent through the west to strengthen
the republican lines.
Hughes Man of the East.
81 desire to remind you. in the first
place, that Mr.. Hughes represents the
eastern republicans, not the western
republicans. He was one of the can
didates against Mr. Taft. when Mr.. Taft
was being urged as the representative
of the administration. Mr.. Hughes
friends joined with the friends of Mr.
Cannon, Mr.. Knox and Mr. Fairbanks
in the effort to prevent the nomination
of Mr. Taft. 1t is only fair to assume
therefore, that Mr.. Hughes is not re-
former in the sense in which that term
is used by the republicans of the west
Vetoed 2-Cent Fare Bill.
''As an evidence that Mr.. Hughes is
not in sympathy with western reforms
you will recall that he vetoed 2-cent

spite of the fact that republican leg

AND ITS FINANCES

Judge De Bolt made an order author
izing the Hawaiian Trust Company, as
temporary administrator of the estate
of the late Mrs Campbell-Parker, to
accept the payment of note from Sam
uel Parker to the estate, not yet due,
and to release the security. This is
part of the financial transactions by
which the advances made by the Anglo
California Bank to the Kohala Ditch
Company on the guarantee of Mrs.
Campbell Parker were repaid, The adj
vances of the bank were paid by the
sale of 100000 of the bonds of the
Ditch Company to Colonel Samuel Par
ker, and of 100000 to the Hawaii Mill
and Plantation Company. Bonds to the
amount of 100000 had previously been
sold, so that the entire issue of 100000

Is THERE A GENUINE
CORREGGIO in HONOLULU?

In the show room of the photograph
gallery of j. ]. Williams, on Fort
street, is canvas on display, bearing
all the marks of an old master. Those
who have examined this canvas and
who are, through artistic training and
knowledge of the art galleries of the
world, in a position to speak with
some authority, state that the picture
is not less than three hundred years
old, The rich coloring, the mounting,
the fact that the tacks with which the
canvas is stretched on the boards are
hand wrought, all point to the conclu-
sion that this picture, il not from the
brush of one of the world IS great ar
fists, was painted at least before the
days when the counterfeiting of mas
terpieces and the disposing of these as
originals was in vogue.
The picture is duplicate of the
great painting of Correggio, "Jupiter
and Antiope,o the original of which
hangs in the marvellous collection in
the Louvre, being one of the priceless
canvases belonging to the Government
of France. The question that arises
in connection with the canvas now in
Honolulu is: Is it an original by the
great Italian painter, duplicate of
the Louvre canvas, or is it one painted
in the studio of Correggio by one of
his pupils and under the direction of
the master3 Or is it simply a modern
copy, fakcf The last question has
been answered so far emphatically in
the negative by all those who have
examined it and have a. knowledge
upon which to base an opinion. What
ever the painting may be, it at least
is not a modern copy.
| No one has dared claim that 1t is
an original by Correggio, although it
is plainly the work of great artist
but that there is probability of the
work having been at least done under
the masters guiding hand has been
confidently expressed. If the appar-
ent age of the canvas is authenticated
| it is assured that none but a pupil of
| Corregio or the master himself would
have dared the feats of foreshortenine

desires of Mr.. Clemens, and the four
symmetrical little cedar trees seen are

unsurpassed gifts, it being this artist
who dared the critics Of his day in
exercising his prodigious faculty of
foreshortening and thereby won golden
praise from Titan and established
new standards in art.

There was an unexpected hitch in
the negotiation for the sale Of the en-
tire Spreckels holdings between Fort
and Alakea street. mentioned in yes
terday's Advertiser, and the property
was withdrawn from further considera-
ton by Rudolph Spreckels, the only
deal effected being the sale of the
Spreckels Bank building to w. G. Irwin.
The reason for the withdrawal of the
property is reported to be the inability
of prospective purchasers and the seller
to agree on the price.
"The only deal pat through was the
sale of the Spreckels building on Fort
street, said Mr.. Spreckels last even
ing, "and the remainder of the prop
erty has been withdrawn. That is all
can say.
"The extension of Bishop street
through the property, however, will be
made, conditioned on the street being
continued to the waterfront"
In referring to the new street Mr..
Spreckels said he had tried to be fair
and square with the government and
he believed he was even generous.
Yesterday morning the negotiations

for the sale of the Spreckels property
had simmered down to the area on the
EVA side Of the new proposed street,
the prospective purchasers not feeling
that they could enter into deal with
so large property as that involved
in the entire square. Mr.. Spreckels
came to Honolulu with the purpose of
disposing Of the whole thing, and to
arrange with the government for ex-
tending Bishop street. 80 r~-s
A year or more ago two men were
in Honolulu looking over the Spreckels
real estate and securing data covering
all property owned by Mr.. Spreckels.
A large amount of the work of gath
ering the data was carried ON through
the Bureau of Conveyances. It was
rumored at the time that this work
was being done SO that Mr.. Spreckels
would be in a position to dispose of
his property interests, having titles,
ETC., all secure.
BY the acquisition of the SpreckeIs
building, Mr.. Irwin has also got the
banking business of Claus Spreckels,
and the business heretofore conducted
as partnership concern is now abso-
lutely controlled by Mr.. Irwin.

GOVERNOR FREAR
IN SCION ACT
tAiAi

Acting Governor Mott-Smith has
given out for publication the drafts
of amendments to the Organic Act and
TO the Hawaiian laws which the Gov
ernor sent him from San Francisco,
and which he has since presented in
modified form for introduction in Con-
gress. Mr.. Mott-Smith is advised by
Governor Frear that there have been
changes in these drafts since he sent
them.
The most important change comes
in the manner of sale of public lands,
in which it is advised that the land
should be either given out through a
drawing by lot, as it is done on the
mainland, or by auction, the latter
practise alone being the rule here.
Another extremely important sugges-
ton is that the question Of compliance
with the conditions in right of pur-
chase leases, certificates of occupation
or special agreements, shall be de-
cided by the Land Commissioner. APP
peal may be taken to the Governor,
whose decision will be final. At pres
ent an appeal of this Kind may be
taken to the courts of the Territory.
A provision is inserted by which
preference rights may be given to per-
sons who have resided on leased gov
eminent land and who wish to buy,
the value on the property to be fixed
by board of appraisers.
In order to settle slight cloud on
title which might arise through the
fact that the actual title to all public
land acquired at the time of annexa-
- Eal
and the Territory has acquired title
to property since then through ex-
change and otherwise, it is provided
that these aforementioned lands shall
have the same status as those acquired
through the joint resolution of annex
alton.
The setting aside of forest reserves
is matter which is, according to- the
suggestion of Governor Frear, to be
placed entirely in the hands of the
Governor.
Changes in other laws and in other
provisions of the Organic Act are in
substance as follows: An act provid-
ing that the authority given the
Philippine Government to aid railroad
construction be conferred on Hawaii,
limiting the amount of aid to be given
any one railway to $4,000, and this
by the guarantee of not over four per
cent interest on that amount. The
government is to appoint two of the
directors and have other supervision of
the operation of the road
In order to straighten out the citi-
2enship mix-up which was caused by
the naturalization of aliens by the
local circuit courts, an amendment is
provided that all So naturalized be-
fore June 20, 1906, shall be deemed
to have had the action taken by a
court of competent jurisdiction. 1t is
also provided that in the case of the
lapse of term of an appointive officer
he shall hold Office till his successor
shall have qualified.
IT is recommended that an act be
passed whereby land which has been
taken from the Territory for use by
the Federal government may be re-
stored to the Territory by the direc-
tion of the President and without the
present necessity of action by Con-
gress.
Governor Frear asks that provi-
sion be inserted in the Organic Act
that the paw of the members Of the
Legislature be increased from the pres

Hawaii's Gift.
The suggestion that the people of
Hawaii, through the medium of their
Promotion Committee, should show
their aloha for Mary Twain, whose
most beautiful prose poem ON Hawaii
has been the cause of the coming here
of thousands, who journeyed to the is
lands to also learn the charm, came
from Mrs. w. w. Hall and was enthu.
siastcally taken up. The mantel,
which is of Hawaiian koa, beautifully
carved and having the world "Aloha" "
across the main panel, was rendered to
Mr.. Clemens as slight expression of
the feeling of the people of the Islands
toward him, offered in frank friendli-
ness and accepted by the author in
the same frank spirit. That Mr.
Clemens is pleased with the gift from
his midpacific friends and admirers, as
his letters quoted above amply testify,
is pleasing indeed to those who for.
warded the gift.
