Representative Garter has passed
through the house his bill extending

Mr.. Fitzgerald. But did that decis-
ion grow out of an attempt to expend
moneys for the Geological Survey, or
for what particular service was the
attempt made to expend the money?
Mr.. Hamilton. The photographic
and Topographic surveys.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. Well. now. does not
the gentleman know that topographic
surveys are made for public lands in
the United, States. and that there are
no public lands of the United States
in Hawaii?
, Mr.. Hamilton. when Hawaii was
annexed It was provided In the joint
resolution of annexation that the laws
of the United States as to public lands
should not apply to Hawaii.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. There are no pub.
lie lands in the Territory of Hawaii
belonging to the United States, be-
cause under the act annexing Hawaii
we expressly donated or granted the
public lands to Hawaii and provided
that the revenue should be available
for public and educational purposes.
In another provision of the act an
nexing Hawaii we provided that all
the wharves and docks in Hawaii
which had been built should belong TO
the Territory and the revenue should
be applied to local purposes.
| Now II this decision grew out of an
attempt to expend moneys that are APP
propriated for the purpose of doing
certain work upon the public domain
| OF the United States, and II Is further
determined that, there being no public
domain belonging to the United States
in the Territory Of Hawaii. the appro-
priation could not be made.

ion.

witness. the Governor of the Terri.
tory. and the conclusions which he
draws from an opinion not produced.

tome In that statement by a very able
lawyer.
| Mr. Fitzgerald. But he is an inter.
ested witness, representing Hawaii be.
fore the gentleman's committee. He
is the governor of the Territory who
appeared before the committee.
Mr.. Hamilton. Inquiry was made
as to postal accounts. and he said that
there was no difficulty about the pay.
ment of postal accounts or the naval
accounts or the construction of public
buildings; but when they came to ex.
pend with reference to this particular
service there was.
Mr.. Mann. Is Il to the form of the

Mr.. Fitzgerald. think. perhaps, 1t
would be better to give the exact Ian
guage of the act.
Mr.. Good. We have 100000 acres
in the Territory Of Hawaii.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. II belongs to the
Territory OF Hawaii?
Mr.. Good. Oh. no; II does not be

Necessary Extravagances

WIHAT we make in the statesman line OF

allegiance to Uncle Sam by way OF the I'M

subject of so much national self COmplacence
that a sidelight on what this political honor

The wife of a Congressman OF Norwegian
parentage tells me that they spend third OF
their salary in helping INDECENT NOrWeg1ans,
giving to Norwegian charities IN this Coun-
try, and being generally public spirited IN
the Northwest district they represent IN Con
gress. She is Scottish. and naturally her
thrifty soul has more than once rebelled at
this benevolent extravaganza required by
her husbands ancestry.
But one fall, in the midst of their prepara-
tions for the exodus to Washington, there
appeared at their back door the worst speCI-
men of spent and ragged humanity that had
ever appeared even in that near-frOntier
town. And he was undeniably Scot. They
had told him at the railroad station that the
wife of their Congressman was Scot OF
course she told him that he was the first
Scotsman to beg in America, that he was a
disgrace to his ain COuntrIe but she fed
him the eggs intended for the family break
