CONCLUSIONS A Bill Has Been Prepared for Ap- proval by the President. THE — COMMISSIONS’ WHAT MR. CULLOM SAYS —— FRANCISCO, October 1.—Senator » of the commissioners sent to examine into the conditions and lands and report to the gov- ernment what would be most suitable, and who has arrived in this country on the steamer Gaelic, says that the commission has concluded its labor and as a result of their observations they will recommend a territorial form of government different from that of the territories of the United States, modified to suit the conditions in Hawaii. They will give particular atten- tion to the changings necessary in the land, abor and navigation laws. Senator Cullom was averse to going into details of the scope of the legislation that will be recommended. He said: “After arriving at the Hawaiian Islands we met many people of various conditions and views. » sentiments were learned t .

Contract Labor Importat “One of the most important questions is that of contract labor importation. I think that the laws now in force in the United States will apply to Hawaii as well.

Aside from the gene! making the form of th al determination of new government a ; 1 one, there were many questions which difficult of lement, and some of these are still open. Not the least of these was that of suffrage. On the gen- eral question it agreed that the citi of the islands should vote freely, but when came to determine the qualifica- the electors who will choos Ph of the bill aluation, or $6,000 worth of property. This will reduce the number of electors for members of the Senate materially. Contract Labor. The question of contract labor was an- other question which called for many con- ferences. As the bill now stands, it pro- vides that there shall be granted to plant- ers ten years in which they shall be re- quired to change from contract to free la- bor plan. One concession, which may open the way to further discussion, was insist- ence upon the provision that there shall be imported for all time oriental labor for the rice fields. The sugar planters are em- phatic in their opinion that these condi- tions are necessary to enable them to carry on the production of sugar. Since the closing of the meetings of the commission planters are said to have found out what the plans of the commis- sion are as to labor and legislative prob- lems, and {t 1s said on authority that there will be many Hawaiians at the national capital when Congress takes up the ques- tion of the settlement, and that they will come prepared to convince legislators if such a thing is possible. As to land laws there will be few changes. The commissioners are united in the belief that the present laws, which pre- vent the taking up of large holdings and their consolidation, are most beneficial, and adapted to the conditions of the country. ‘As to crown lands, it 1s understood there will be a settlement made with the late queen on a basis .o be mutually agreed | upon, the negotiations to be conducted by a commissioner from this country who has no bias.

There will be nue cutter service, tinue provision made for rev ; so for internal revenue service in the The Courts. While these are only outlines of some of the most important points in the bill, it is known that the system of the courts is to be radically changed, so as to permit of distinct city and territorial government, which will as well revolutionize police and military systems. In the report which is to accompany the bill it is sald two features will be of great moment. One is a clause which will urge an appropriation for the opening of the reef which shuts out ves- sels from Pearl harbor. Members of the commission, when visited the harbor, were enthusiastic its possibilities. Taken in connection with the fact that the harbor of Honolulu ton- tains only seventy-five acres of anchorage room, it is argued that the wider area of Pearl harbor is necessary to the expansion of trade which will follow American dom- ination. In fact, with the necessity of a naval establishment in the islands there is no course open but to make a larger harbor available. The second point which will attract most attention is the recommendation that the government establish and build itself the cables from San Francisco to the islands and between the various islands. The ne- cessity for means of communication being in the hands of the government appeals to they over the members of the commission forcibly, and the recommendation in this respect 13 most strong. a Ss Lieut. Ward Wilson Dead. Statement of Acting Health Officer Con- cerning a Former Analysis. Copy of Chemist's Report as Made March 30, 1896—The Results Obtained. Referring to the communication of Mr. Thomas W. Gilmer relative to an appropri- ation for the purpose of testing the quality of liquors soid in the District, and the reply of Mr. J. Harrison Johnson, chairman of the excise board, published ia yesterday's Star, to the effect that a large number of samples were turned over to the health de- partment, but that only a limited 1umber were analyzed, and that no written report was made of the same, Actin Health Offi- cer McLean said today he Cesiree to set forth th facts in the case: “In all there weye a, total of eighty-one samples of whisky,and gin exi.mired by the health department, which were inspected with the greatestvtare:by the chemist of the department, atid witich occuvied a con: siderable portion of his time for a period of about three montlis. “The report of the chemist, including a table of analyses of the samples examined, Was submitted to the Bealth officer March 30, 1806, and was ifr'turn referred by him to the honorable Commissioners of the Dis- trict, March 31, 1896. “The analyses of thé samples were also incorporated in the annual report of the health department for the yeat ending June The Chemist's Report. “The substance Of the'report of the chem- ist is as follows: ‘In addition to the an- alyses as submitted, these samples were also carefully examined for adulterants, with the result that no adulterations of a serious nature were discovered. Nor can I see any reason why expensive adulterants, such as strychnine, strontium, nitro-glycer- ine, ete., should be added, since a liquor can easily be obtained in the process of manu- facture from the latter portion of the dis- Uillate which contains all the injurious in- gredients necessary to produce the desired effect, and at the same time can be placed on the market at a comparatively low fig- ure. “Phere appears to be a popular idea ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 1—Lieut, Wara! that most saloon liquor is poisonous, and Wilson of the 6th Missouri Volunteers, who came back from Jacksonville, Fla., recently on a furlough, 4s dead at the hospital of typhoid fever.’ The deceased was formerly @ newspaper man of Kansas City, that most of the evil cffects of intemper- ance are caused directly by the introduc- tion of some foreign poisonous substance into the liquor. “The conclusions to which this investi- gation has led are, however, that hard oil. and that substances ‘more injurious than aleonol and fusel oil are very rarely found. ““Probably the most common, as well as the cheapest, substance used for the adul- teration of liquors is water, and this, 2 en from the analy: plays an impor- art in the adulteration of the sam- amined This can readily be seen by comparing the per cent of alcohol found with the standard, which for whisky ranges from 50 to 60 per cent by volume, and for gin frem 45 to 50 per cent. “Far more important, however, than th addition of water is the amount of fusel o centained in the liquor, and while there Seems to be no recognized standard for ingredient, ye not contai ood liquor should in my opinion, more than one- tenth per cent. Tam informed that in New York the limit has been placed at. tw tenths per cent. thi s In many instances eve limit has been overreached in the sam- xamined. ““Gin differs from whisky principally in being rectified from juniper berries, as Hol lund gin, or from turpentine, as in common gin. In two instances I found considerable S$ of turpentine, but whether this was due to the bottles having been previously used for this substance, and then filled without having been properly cleaned, or Whether it was due to the process of man- ufacture, I am unable to say. Some in Bad Condition. ‘In this connection I might add that a large number of the samples examined were fcund in a vad condition, so far as cleanli- ress is concerned. Nearly all of them con- tained insoluble sediment of dirt, files, Straw, sticks, foreign oils or other such substances, which was due either to the un- cleanly condition of the bottle in which the liquor was sold or to other causes which I Was unable to determine. ““Such, however, would represent the condition in which liquor is dispensed over the bar to the public, in bottles. “From this examination it becomes ev- ident that the more important adulterants are water and fusel oil, tf the latter can Properly be called an adulterant. ““As the whisky content of this sub- stance depends, to a certain extent, upon the process of manufecture, I am of the opinion that this substance in large quan- tities should be consiGered an adulterant. and that the amount allowable in liquors should be regulated by law ————— MAKE THEIR PLEAS.
