The bill providing for form of government for the Hawaiian Islands was passed by the Senate yesterday without division, after being uncer consideration for nearly ten days. After The Star's report of the proceedings of the Senate was closed yesterday after- noon Mr. Clark (Wyo.) proposed an amend- ment appropriating $250,000 to be pafa to Lilluoka ani, late queen of the Hawaiian Islands, for all interest she may have in the crown lands, the sum to be repatd from the revenues of the crown lands. Mr. Clark maintained that it was only the part of equity and justice that the queen who had been deposed by the United States forces should be reimbursed for the losses she had sustained. No Rights in the Matter. Mr. Cullom opposed the amendment, held- ing that the late queen had no rights in the matter. She was here now, he sald, consulting lawyers as to her claims against this govenment, and his understanding was that many of them hhad informed her that she had no good claim. The amendment precipitated a general discussion of the deposition of Queen _Lili- uokalani, participated in by Mr. Jones (Ark.), Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.) and others. Mr. Pettigrew said he was opposed to the bill and to any effort made by this Con- gress to provide a government for the isl- ands. He favored turning the Hawaiian Islands back to their people and permitting them to make the best of them. Mr. Quarles’ First Speech. Mr. Quarles (Wis.) followed Mr. Petti- grew, making his maiden speech in the Sen- ate in opposition to the proposition to pay to the former queen any sum of money. Referring to the dark picture drawn by Mr. Pettigrew of the results of the annexation of Hawaii and the acquisition of other ter- ritory by the United States, Mr. Quarles said: “I had thought that the senator from South Dakota had exhausted his means of chasing ghosts out of our insular posses- sions, but here he brings up a bogie man from the Sandwich Islands and sets him to gyrating before the- Senate to frighten somebody.” In conclusion Mr. Quarles said: “I am op- posed to this amendment. ‘There are hun- dreds of maimed and crippled diers knocking at the doors of this Congr nd asking for a small addition to the pitiful now have to support life. 1 » would much prefer to give this sum ,000 to them than to give it to a royalty as a gratuity. tt (Conn.) opposed the amend- ment. laring that the right to the crown lands was in the people of Hawaii and not in the qu “{ think the United States ought to hesitate and to hesitate long be- fore adopting this proposition. be dr ope After some further discussion the amend- ment was laid on the table without divis- ion. Other efforts were made to amend the bill, but they were of no ava Mr. Platt (Conn.) offered an amendment providing that the territory of Hawaii should not at any future time be admitted to the Union as a state or be attached to any state of the Union. Mr. Morgan made the point If this is to © it ought to be done with our ey of order ainst the amendment that it was offered fter 4 o'clock, and therefore violated the greement to vote at that hour. After some discussion the point of order was sustained. Passed Without Division. The measure was then passed without di- vision. Mr. Foraker moved that the Senate pro- ceed to the consideration of the Porto Ri- can tariff and government Dill. Mr. Penrose (Pa.) said while he did not expect to oppose the motion he desired It to. be understood that he would press the Quay case and would ask for # vote at an early date. Mr. Foraker's motion was agreed to, the Porto Rican bill then being made the un- finished busine brief executive session, THE PUBLIC I Fixcal Statement of the Treasury for Mare The monthly statement of the public debt, just issued, show of busi- ness February : in the tre a decre: This deer , the debt, le: y accounted for by the incre: in amount of cash on hand.

The Greek consu! at Chicago has inform- ed his government, according to a new paper report transmitted to the State De- partment by Uniied States Consul Me- Gink Athens, that the California cur- rant growers have prevailed over the com- petition of the Greek currant rafsers in that city by a double cleaning of their cur- rants, and the extraction of their seed. Thus they acquire a greater value than the Corinthian currants, which are far superior, but are mixed with sand and unclean. eS ee Irish Linens Sent to Cuba. One effect of the United States occupa- | tion of Cuba has been to reopen the Cuban market to Irish linen manufacturers. United States Consul Touvelle at Belfast reports to the State Department that Belfast linens had been driyen out of the Cuban market before the Spanish-American war by the high import duties and the cost of ex- change, both of which factors made in favor of the Spanish linens producer. The war resulting in a revised and justly exe- cuted tariff altered the whole conditions of affairs, and Belfast shippers are now able to compete with Spanish and other foreign manufacturers. It is remarkable, too, that the Cuban merchants have been remitting promptly, and, in the words of a locai linen merchant, says the consul, “All these things are surely a tribute to the wise, able and enlightened government of that country by the United States.” —_—_—___+ e+—____ Hawalian House Adjourns.

NEEDED BY MANUFACTURERS Growing Demand for Materials Not Pro- duced in This Oountry.. Larger Importations for Seven Months Than in Any Preceding Fiscal Year. The growing demand of American manu- facturers for the class of materials which cannot be produced at home is likely to make the importations of the fiscal year 1900 larger than those of any preceding year. The seven months ending with Janu- ary, 1900, show a much larger importation of manufacturers’ materia’s than in the corresponding months of any preceding fis- cal year, and as a consequence the total importations for the seven months slightly exceed those of the corresponding period of any earlier year. In the seven months ending with January the importations of “articles in a crude condition, which enter into the various processes of domestic in- dustry,” to adopt the official classification of the treasury bureau Oe Geer amount- ed to $189,063,962, or practif@liy twice asmuch as in the corresponding months ending with January, 1897, when they were $89,860.326; and the percentage which manufacturers’ materials formed of the total importations 34.79 per cent, aga 2474 per cent orresponding months ending with January, 187, While there has been a steady growth during the decade in the importations of raw materials for use of nufacturers, no year has shown so large an increase as the present one, the import- ations of this class of materia! in the seven months ending with January being nearly =) per cent in excess of those of the cor- responding months of one Tago, ..nd, as already indicated, practically double those of the corresponding months ending with Jan 1s Ten great rtic’es form the bulk of this crude mi uring. They are fibers, wool, Egyptian cotton, crude wood, tobacco, hides and_ skins, chemicals and tin in pigs and bars for use in manufacturing tin plates, These ten ar- ticles form about 80 per cent of the grand total importation of manufacturers The if@crease in the importation of these ten great articles, comparing the sev- en months ending with January, 1900, with ponding months ending with Jan- great class of our importation: terials for use in mi silk, ufact Hides Chemicals Crude ru Tin, tn pigs Wood, manufactured bs unmanufacture Silk, ral Fibers, uniianufactar Wool, ra Cotton (Egyptian It will be observed ‘un'm'td that there increase in all of the classes except wool, is a large ot whic eT ducer, practical, being of cla: the United Stat The following f articles i ited States is a large pro- all of the other articles or grades not produced in table shows the importa- a crude condition whic vesses of dome: st seven months of 2 1889, and the per- formed of the total im- will be observed that the importations ef this ¢ of material have gvown with much gi upidity than the ss, the percentage which manu- als form of the total im- en from less than 25 per per cent of the total. CURIOUS One of the Many Marvels of Little Porto Ri From the Philadeipbia Record, Some exquisite lamp shades, napkins and center pleces have come from our dear little Porto Rico this winter. They are made fyom the inner part of the lace tree; to be more explicit, from a lace-like fiber, which grows beneath the bark: The outside of this curious tree very much resembles the white and mottled mistletoe boughs one sees exposed for sale during the holidays, but the inside of the yeunger limbs and branches is a mass of the lace fiber, some- times pure white in color, and again yellow tending to brown. Though the lace tree Is apparently a very hard wood, the interior fiber may be unwrapped in sheets, which the Porto Rican ladies convert into drawn work or embroider in bright colors. Whips are made of the branches, a part of the branch being left for the stock and the fiber lace drawn out to form a topknot rosette. A long lash is plaited at the other end. The manufactured lace fiber is very ex- pensive, but nothing can be more beautiful than the effect of light through the lamp shades. The cocoanut palm grows sheets of fiber'on the outside, so that it looks as if it is tad up in old mats, but the lace tree “rows its delicate textile fibers inside, with Vast improvements in texture and color. The women of Porto Rice do beautiful decorative work with this natural lace, the net of the fiber being so’fine that itends it- self to the most delicate designs. It is dyed ihe brightest hues andumade into flowers. which are applied to the lamp shades of the same or arranged in shapes of brilliant moths and butterflies. The large firefly of the tropics is exquisitely simmulated. On the ccnterpleces for table adcrnment, the Span- ish rose is frequentlytmitated, This rose is white in the morningy'pinkiat noon and a deep crimson at night, hence there are three roses to go withthe centerpieces and these are daintily attached by means of minute fibers to correspond <with the hour of the day. Each color of the rose has a meaning. The white rose signifies that the daughters of the house are too young to think of marriage; the>pink”tose that they are society debutante®; and) the red rose that they are married. » When a young man visits @ house he finds the father and mother seated together at the head of the room, with chairs alongside the walls, wherein the guests are requested to place themselves. The guests talk to the persons nearest them. The chairs next to the parents are seats of honor and usually a favorite suitor will have one of the daughters of the house on his other side. Servants hand around trays'with chocolate, wine and cakes. On each tray is an ex: quisite napkin made from the lace of the lace tree. Ss Satta A Warning From Mexico.

Ts * TO IMPROVE NATIONAL GUARD Provisions of the Bill Introduced by Repre- sentative Olayton. It Embodies the Ideas of Gen. Roe, Gen. Wingate and Various Officers of the New York Organization. Representative Clayton of New York has introduced a bill in the House (H. R. 8957) to organize the National Guard of the United States and to provide for in- creasing the military establishment in time of war. Mr, Clayton is a West Point grad- uate and was colonel of a New York regi- ment in the Spanish war. He is very n-uch interested in all National Guard matters. “This bill,” said Mr, Clayton, “ds largely a development of the system suggested by the practical experience of the National Guard in New York, embodying a number of improvements suggested by the experi- ence of 1898. The bill was compiled under the direction of General Roe and embodies his ideas, together with those of General Wingate, Colonel Clayton and various other™ National Guard officers of New York. “Among the principal features are, first, the militia of the country to remain under control of the state, but subject to orders and not request, should war render it nec- essary to have a large temporary force in active service; second, to increase the amount of the appropriation, but no state to receive benefit unless it shows a drilled and trained force; third, she National Guard to be armed, equipped and drilled in their various duties, on the lines laid down the regular army; fourth, the National Guard, when ordered into active service, to retain its officers and organization, but as such {is to be considered a defensive force to be used in this country, and, when con- sidered necessary, volunteer forces, entirely apart from the National Guard, are to be raised for foreign and more ’ protracted uty. “The bill distinctly states the position of the National Guard and provides how a volunteer army may be raised, when neces- sary. We are not opposed to a regular army large enough to perform the duties required by our government of its military establishment, and believe that it is a mis- take and an injustice to the men them- selves to send volunteers to maintain our position in the island possessions of the United States. “The great danger of a military force comes from the great expense and the idle- ness of a large number of men, and there is more danger in the proposed scheme of having a United States reserve force than in any other that has been yet proposed. The great body of citizens who thust wage a.war with any first-class power, should that calamity ever overtake us, should be educated as far as possible in military mat- ters, but with as little expense as possible to the goverpment. The great reserve force that must be the main dependence in time of such a war should remain a part of the people, and under control of the state, and thus act as a check upon hasty or unwise administration.” 2+ CHARACT mrs TICS, INDIAN Their Trustworthiness asx Witnesses and Their Ignorance of Money Values. Correspomlence Chieago Record, “Indians make good witnesses and they stick closer to facts than white people.” This statement was made the other even- ing by Judge O. P. Shiras of the United States district court of northern Iowa. He speaks from his expertence in trying many cases in which Indians were either con- cerned or appeared as witnesses. He was appointed during the administration of Chester A. Arthur and since has been con- Unually holding court in his own district and within the eighth United States judi- cial district, which comprises thirteen states and three territories. This federal district, leaving out the state of Kentucky, is larger than all the territory east of the Mississippi river. Speaking of his Interesting experience in coming in contact with the Indians in court, he says the red man or woman is gener- ally accurate. His observation was gen- eral. He say ‘Ask a white man if he was drunk on a certain occasion he will try to wriggle out of it, but the Indian will come out with a ‘yes’ if he was. On one occasion a lawyer asked a squaw if she understeod the nature of her obligation in giving testimony. She answered that she had taken a ‘strong word’ to tell the truth and she would do so. She was asked to de- fine the difference between the truth and a lie, whereupon she said: “The truth is the truth and a lie is a lie; they are different and you can’t make them alike.’ “You will remember that some six years ago an Indian named Plenty Horses was being tried in Sioux Falls for the murder of Colonel Casey of the United States army. One of the witnesses brought in by the government was American Horse. There had been a Messiah craze among the Indians and a religious phase had been injected into the trial. “In the examination of American Horse he was asked what he knew about reli- gion. There stood near by a small table, which the witness drew near him. He placed his finger on the center of the table and drew a circle about it, saying: ‘This is what the red man knows about religion; then he drew a larger circle, saying that the white man knew that much more. Moving ‘his finger around the outside of the larger circle he said: ‘Beyond this the red man knows as much about the coming of a Mes- siah as the white man.’” Judge Shiras says the Indian makes a good juror, in which capacity he may sit after relinguishing tribal relations and com- plying with government severalty walls. He sa: too, that he has come in contact with some good Indian lawyers. “I think,” said he, “there is a mistaken idea about the red man having been gen- erally mistreated by the government. ‘The facts show that they are the richest peo- ple per-capita in the whole country. The trouble is that they have a poor idea of the value of money, and spend it recklessly. Indians will walk clear across one state into another to draw their annuities and in twenty-four hours after getting the money they will have gambled every cent of it away before they will leave the vicinity and then walk back home to do the same thing over on the next pd@y day. “It is astonishing to see the methods adopted by an intelligent red man to get away with his money. Among other things he has a weakness for a certain kind of amusement known as the ‘merry-go-round.’ Recently one of these concerns got permis- sion to set up one of their machines on a reservation within my circuit. The bucks would gather about the contrivance and to the tune of a steam-turned organ would rige the whole blessed day. ey spent al. the money they had and yned dif- ferent articles to get more for the same amusement. “During the last few years the women took a great craze for wearing these bluc bathing suits trimmed in white braid: The traders are said to have disposed of a large quantity of this toggery, the squaws wear- ing them all the time until worn out, when they would buy another suit.” = To Protect the Birds..
