"SpOils" System is
Debated in Senate
Proposition to Add Sixteen Messen-
gers to the Force Causes Ami
mated Discussion.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Kern
of Indiana, speaking today on resolution
to add several employees to the payrolls,
charged that a "spoils system ran mad"
in the senate, where republicans so sys-
tematically divided PATRONAGE that mem
bers often were awarded half man."
Senator Dixon (republican retorted that
the democratic house had discharged all
republican employees
Senator Kern charged the republicans in
the senate today with trying to provide
places for a number of new employees on
the senate rolls, just at the close of the
session, when they would have nothing
to do.
A resolution putting sixteen messengers
on the senate rolls caused the trouble.
Senator Bristow explained it was done in
order to abolish a bad senate custom of
"dctailing men," He said It would result
in economy rather than extra expense, and
would reduce the number of senate EN-
ployes.
We'll, economy was an issue In the
last campaign" said Senator Kern. IF
these men are working for committees that
never met we ought to abolish the sub
terfuge and make 1t plain that we are
providing employees, not for committees,
but for the Individual benefit Of senator's. -
Personalities enliveden the economy strug-
gle Activity of Senators Reed and Kern,
democrats, evoked a sarcastic rejoinder
from Senator Bristow (progressive) that II
was unfortunate the senate had to strug-
gle along so many years without the wis
dom" Of the two new members.
II desire to say now to the senator
from Kansas" retorted Senator Reed, that
imagine this poor old country of ours
that ran before Kansas was a state and
that ran before the senator from Kansas
rose like a sun of intelligence above the
horizon OF the intellectual night that has
enveloped us, will still struggle on when
the clouds and shadows gather over the
United States and they stand by his tomb
weeping rivers of tears"
When the debate had concluded the SEN
ate passed the resolution.

disease appeared outside of the con-
facts who we're originally gathered in
when the first case was reported. Fur
Their than this 1t may be said that the
fact that not a single death occurred
also reflects considerable credit upon
those in charge.
During the progress Of the cpl
demic ten cases in all were discover
ed and all the patients have recovered
and were discharged from custody on
Tuesday. OF these ten, two were dis
covered originally and the remaining
eight were among the persons who
had come in contact with these two

orteric to Blame.
Hawaii Herald: The attempt being
made blythe captain CT the Orteric to
shift the blame for the bad conditions
which were found on the steamer
from his shoulders to those of Immi'
grafton Agent A. ]. Campbell is one
which is as foolish as it is unwarrant-
ed. The Andrew Weir Company which
owns the steamer, is one of the great
steamship concerns of the world and
is by no means a newcomer in the
handling of immigrants. The laws of
the United States in reference to
steerage accommodations are known
to them as well as any British ship
ping law and the captain of the Orteric
either should be familiar with their
provisions or is unfit for the command
of the steamer. His attempt TO blame
MIR. Campbell is a weak defense which
will not hold water. The latter was
sent to Europe to collect immigrants,
not to bring them here personally or
act as liz l6Sdl duNlSOl III q INV
ish steamship company. He had COM
pleted his work when the men, women
and children were placed on board the
vessel and when Collector of Customs
Stackable found open violations Of the
laws which regulate the handling Of
steerage passengers, he had no course
open to him other than that which
he has followed, and in which he will
surely be supported in Washington.
1t seems likely that the captain of
the Orteric thought that Hawaii, be-
ing so far from the mainland, was un.
likely to take the same measures as
would be enforced in Boston or New
York. He would not have dared to
bring immigrants to either of those
ports with his ship in the condition
which investigations have proved it
to be in on it's arrival in Honolulu.

in this Territory will be Hilo, where
she will discharge freight and will
take on sugar. From here she win
go to Kahului, where she will proba-
bly, remain for two or three days, Civ
ing tourist time to make the Hale
akala trip before leaving for Kama
pail. Maui. A similar stay will be
made at the port near Lahaina and
then the Matson vessel will leave for
the Coast, stopping at Honolulu en-
route. The trip should be a delight
fld one, as the Honolulan is finely
equipped for the carrying of about
fifty passengers and is said to be one
of the finest sea boats that comes to
the Islands.
The passing of the Enterprise from
this port will be looked on with mis-
giving by the local people, for while
she has never been a very popular
passenger vessel, owing to her rather
poor accommodations in this line, she
has always been convenient. Her
monthly trips have been extremely
handy to the local merchants. Captain
Youngren is very well known In this
city, having had command of the
Enterprise for about six years or
more, taking the place of Captain
Miller It is to be hoped that the
change will not prevent him from
coming to Hilo in some other vessel,
If not in the Enterprise. 1t is also
said that this vessel has been an ex-
cellent money maker for the Matson
Company, her repair bill has been ex.
tremely low. She is too small to fill
the needs of the present, carrying not
very much over third of the freight
that the Honolulan can take. The lat
ter is rated to hold about $500 tons
of sugar
Wharf-Building Delayed.
HILO, April 27.-According to the
officers of the Hilo Railroad Company
the building of the new wharf in Ku-
hio Bay is being held up at present
to find out whether the companies
which own the big steamers that carry
sugar from this port will take their
vessels inside the inner harbor be-
fore the two submerged islands at the
entrance to the deep water pocket are
blasted out This entrance at one
point is narrow, though it is almost
exactly the same width as the en-
trance to Honolulu harbor was before
it was widened about ten years ago.
The matter is now before the Of
ficers of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company for their decision
and should they decide that the risk
to be taken is too great, the building
of the wharf will probably have to
wait for at least year later than it
would if they should feel that the
risk was minor one.
