the Organic Act, and addressed the inn
migration commission, which is made
up of members from both the house
and senate as well as of outsiders.
I know just what arc the chances
for the passage of the bin. but they
appear to be fairly good. So far as /
know, there is no opposition among
any of the members, though it is pos
sible that congress may refuse to pass
some of the amendments as they are
in the original bill. That is the rea.

census of the races in Hawai- BE made.

The Federal Building.
While on the subject of plans the
Governor stated that in New York
he called upon York and Sawyer, the
successful competitors for the federal
building plans, and talked the matter
over with them. They had not beon
in Hawaii and naturally were eager
to learn of conditions down here and
what they might expect to have to
contend with. The plans submitted
by them are said to be quite superior
to those of the fifteen other competitors
81 looked over the plans with them, y
said the Governor, "and am convinc,
ed that we are going to have very
beautiful building. The plans at pres
ent are only general, but either Mr.
Sawyer or Mr.. Ayres, a young man in
their office who had great deal tc
do with the plans, will come here fol
details. | believe that one of them is
to come here at least five times during
the construction of the building.
81 also saw Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Hills, and Mr.. Bailey
the private secretary of the treasurer
They are both directly interested il
the federal building matter and
talked it over with them.
