Senate Considers the
New Measure to Reg
ulate General EIec-
lions.

The deliberations of the Territorial
Senate did not produce anything beyond
the Chiflingworth home rule resolution
yesterday that was apart from the ordi-
nary routine work and that was distin-
guished by its briefness. Even Coelho
failed to enliven the proceedings by a
few legislative handsprings-which the
statesman from Maui can generally be
relied upon to produce when there is an
evident danger of the proceedings be-
coming dull.
The afternoon session was occupied
by consideration of the new election
law, Senate Bill III, in committee
of the whole, Palmer Woods being in
the chair. Senator Mccarthy acted as
the interpreter of the bill, it being con
sidered section by section.
He explained Ii the beginning that
the bill did not make any changes of
consequence in the prevailing election
laws and that the inclusion of a provis-
ion for a great register was the most
radical method of addition contem-
plated.
A proposed change in the method of
= placing the names of candidates upon
the ballot called forth criticism from
Senator w. o. Smith who said that he
thought the alterations tended to com
plication.
''Can you find anything more confus-
sng than the present election laws?'

out at the last election because voters

lations and methods of the present law

the members of the Legislature TO in

the motion of Senator Mccarthy and

ShingIe Outlines His
Position - Kaniho
Calls Guardsmen Tin
Soldiers.

Yesterdays session n the House was
marked by vehement attack on the
part of Kaniho against the two bills
dealing with the militia, in the course
of which he attacked Adjutant Gen
eral Jones as lobbyist and referred
to the soldiers of the National Guard
of Hawaii as tin soldiers in whom he
had no great confidence, and by the
declaration of Shingle as to what he
considered the proper thing to do in
extending the power Of the counties.
Shingle went to the limit in what
he favored. He wanted not only to
give the counties the right to levy
taxes and issue bonds, but he desired
also to turn over to the various boards

"Cook's story should not be taken
too seriously. The two Eskimos who
accompanied him say ne went no dis
tance north and not out OF sight OF

corrohorated their story"
About the same time Mrs Peary
received the following message under
tho same date, both having been sent

Good morning. Delayed by gale.

The foregoing was signed simply

while the message to the Associated

as its signature. To The Associated

despatch, replying to an urgent re-
quest for an authoritative statement

Cook. This request had been sent to
him Immediately after he had flashed

Prof VIM II. Brewer, of Yale. honor

of America, of which both Peary and

have been successful. He telegraphed to

Or. Thomas s. Dedrick Of Washington,

of 1902, promptly came to the sup
port OF DR. Cook to-day. He said:
"The charge (refcrring to Peary's state
ment of to-day may lessen DR. Cooks
standing In popular estimation until his
defense can be heard but tho scientific
world will be affected only by scientific
discrepancies. Dr. Cook will undoubtedly
have scientific records and observations
without Eskimo proof.
Analyzing Eskimo character Dr
Dedrick Is inclined to think them un-
reliable with "a temperament which
would lead him to agree for sauvity's
sake and because of immediate bene-
tit with man on tho spot having a
