THE CONTROLLING CLASS Sie oF Representative Knox of Massachusetts, chairman of the committee on territories. addressed the House today on the Hawatian bill. Mr. Knox said: “The Hawaiian Islands are the Gibraltar of the Pacific in war, the key of the Pacific in peace, the paradise of the Pacific ever. Hawaii is now American territory by the solemn agreement of two independent na- tions. But, while Hawaii is United Siates territory, it does not possess a United States government, only a skeleton of the republic of Hawaii remains. The govern- ment provided by the annexation resolution Was but temporary, intended to be of brief duration, te last until Congress should establish a government. Its substantial pro- visions were acceptance of the cession; pro- viding that the public land lawsof the United States should not apply, but that the rev- enue and proceeds thereof should belong to the people of Hawail; providing that until Congress should provide, the existing pow- ers of government should be exercised in the manner and by such persons as the President should elect; abrogating treaties with foreign nations; continuing the exist- ing customs regulations; assumption of the public debt of the Hawaiian Islands to the amount of $4,000,000 and prohibiting further immigration of Chine In all this there was no provision for local government or for any expressions of popular will. There was entire absence of representation—a gov- ernment entirely un-American and In dero- gation of all the principles of a free goy- ernment. Its only justification could be that its endurance would be brict. Government in Hawall. “The manner in which this government has been exercised has been by the con- tinuance of those in office who held under the authority of the republic of Hawall, with the exception of those who had charge of foreign relations. The old legislature has expired; there has been no election of a new one. No courts of United States Jurisdic- tion have been blished. This method of governing Hawaii has proved inadequate, expensive and cumbersome. Doubtful ques- tions of admiralty jurisdiction have arisen te remain undecided; the indictment and punishment of criminals have been unce tain of validity; all sales of publié lands have been prohibited, although the proceeds of n lands were to be for the benefit of M1; public Improvements have stopped; in the great emergency that has arisen by the appearance of the bubonic r gue the authorities have b their efforts to eradicate it. i asioned by the great in- crease of shipping at Honolulu hi impossible through lack of leg!

A large number of contract laborers, num- befing at least 25,000, have been brought into the islands since the adoption of tha resolutions of annexation. It is time that this reproach upon Amertea should & and that Its territory should be free from the influx of labor long since denied by the laws of the United States. Duty of This Country. “The duty is immediate and plain to pro- vide a government for this new territory of the United S: Ss, framed to meet the needs of the Hawaiian people, not of another people. No questions of general policy to- ward other insular possessions should have weight. Justice to Hawaif cannot be done except when her own needs, her own cap- abilities and her own rights are fully re- *"“Hawall bore no part in the Spanish war.

The spirit of the Decjaration of Independence, as well as that of the Constitution, goes with the present meas- ure, for {t is with the consent of the gov- erned. Fitness of the People. “In forming a government for the Isl- ands, {f we may establish that of a free representative government of a United States territory, we shall still be acting in the line of past history and precedent, al- though for the first time we enter upon the task of establishing a government for islands In the Pacific ocean separated from the continent and far once considered the ultimate bound of the American republic. Whether we may justly and wisely establish such a territorial gov- ernment depends upon th? fitness of the people for its adoption. Are they in con- dition to appreciate its responsibilities, to shape its future according to American ideas and traditions? The number of peo- ple is small, but th2 territory itself ts small. More than half of the people are Asiatics, but they are not citizens of the United States. They are not, and will not be, entitled to the right of suffrage. They ar> largely in the islands temporarily—in- tending to return to their native land. A large part of the people is made up of the native race of Hawali—a slowly-dying race, fading away year by year. They are to share in the citizenship and in th2 suffrage. They are gentle, plain, peaceful and now generally educated in either the English or the Hawailan tongue. They are a p20- ple whose attention has long been attracted to the Unfted States, to its institutions and methods of government as standards by which they have sought to shape their own d:velopment. A considerable portion of the people are Portuguese. They will make part of the citizenship and of the voting population. More than half were born in the islands and are larg2ly educated in the English language. - The Controlling Cla: “But in addition to these, and perhaps as furnishing the chief reason why the people may be considered adapted to a zer- ritorial government, thera Is a controlliag class in the community of the Hawailan Islands made up of Americans, Euglish, Germans and a few other Europeans, They, lay . sf are not controlling in the sense of being oppressive, but as guiding and directing Iegtslation and social development. It is a class that has always had the interest and welfare of the islands at heart, who have rgely shaped its past, and must of neces- as largely shape its future. ‘For all the voting populace the bill pro- vides an educational qualification.

Irwip of Os- wego, N. ¥., at the Normandie. “It was Saturday afternoon and I was coming up Chestnut street from a visit to one of my customers. I had just crossed 7th street when my attention was attracted to a man in front of the Quaker City “National Bank. He got up on a step ladder and took the large sign down from over-the door. This carefully stowed away, he came back and took away the bronze sign at the side of the door. Then the sign under the front Window, a long board sign bearing the name of the bank, was deposited within and the door securely fastened. I noticed that it was easy for the fellow to take down the signs, and I wondered what the object was. At the hotel I inquired of the clerk and he told me that the bank takes in its signs every day when business is over. They are suspended by hooks so as to be easily removed. The janitor looks af- ter this duty every day, and he is as punc- tual in putting up the signs and taking them down as he is to see that the bank president's desk is devéid of dust when he arrives in the morning. An irreverent fel- low drummer who was a listener to our conversation volunteered the suggestion that, as it was Saturday night, the sign: were perhaps to be given a Sabbath res! Mr. Robert C. Moodey, treasurer of the Cleveland and Buffalo Transportation Com- pany, is at the Raleigh for a few days on his way home from a pleasure trip through the south. Mr. Moodey’s home fs in Paines- ville, in the heart of the famous maple sugar producing belt of Ohio. “This is the time of year to be in Ohio despite the capricious weather changes of the climate there,” said he to a Star reporter. ‘A per- son who has never been {n the woods in sugar making season cannot appreciate what a pleasure it is. Geauga county, just south of my county, produces more maple sweet than any other county in the world. And {it js the smallest county in the state, population considered. The sweet is made from the sap of the rock maple tree, a@ tree which must grow on the right kind of soil and in a climate where it alternate- ly freezes and thaws. “A small hole is bored into the tree about an Inch and a tin spile {3 inserted, upon which a bucket is suspended. The sap runs out one drop at a time and {s clear as water. It takes about thirty-five gallons of sap to make one gal- lon of sirup.. If the sap Is properly evapo- rated its color, when thick enough for sirup, is a rich yellow and its flavor the most pleasant and healthfal of any sweet In the world. Yes, it has become a great business with the farmers. A grove of maples (we call them sugar bushes) of any size 1s a valuable adjunct to a farm, and is the means of bringing in considerable ready money. Dealers are paying only 60 cents a gallon for this year's product, due doubt- jess to the fact that they were unable to dispose of last year's entire product.” “There are very few persons in this world who have not some indiyldual conception of what they consider the meanest man or woman, and that title js nine times out of ten applied to some one who has at least a local reputation for stinginess, Charles H. Bridgman of Sioux City, Iowa, at Willars “A week or so ago I was In an Iowa village from which free delivery of mail is given to the rural towns adjoining. The carrier had just returned from his route and was regaling some of the town folk at the hotel with his experiences. Be- fore starting out that morning the wife of a banker, the weathlest man in town, came to him and requested that he deliver a package to her grandson, who Hyed several miles away. She impressed upon him the importance of not forgetting to deliver it, as it was a birthday present. He assured her that he would do {t as a favor; and once more she admonished him of its im- portance. It seems that both the banker and his wife were known for their greedi- ness and niggardly dealings. The carrier's curiosity was aroused, and he was deter- mined to see for his own eyes what princely gift was to be bestowed by the grand- mother. Of course, it was hardly the proper thing to open’ the package, but he did it. There was revealed to him an or- penny sponge such as is used by nin primary schools. He carefully vrapped it and on reaching the town de- d it in person. He had expected to meet a small boy, but found instead that the recipient of the gift was a husky farmer lad of eighteen years. I don’t know that you would call that meanness, But what would you call it?” “L have been {n Washington a great many times, and I never fall to pay a visit to the Washington monument,” said James R. Sovereign, who was formerly at the head of the Knights of Labor, and who ie in Washington attending the investigation of the mine riots in Idaho, to an Evening Star reporter at the Vendome. “The far- reaching Potomac, the Virginia hills, made historic by so many battlefields, present a view that to me never grows monotonous or wearisome. “I went over there the other day, and that particular visit I shall ever remember. I guess I must have been in a dyspeptic mood, for things didn’t look and seem just as they ought. Among those who went up in the elevator with me was a man whose form was slightly bent and who was ap- parently about seventy-five years old. Holding tightly to his arm was a little old woman whose wrinkled face gave evidence of a sorrowful life. As the elevator started on its ponderous journey upward her hold on the arm of her companion @ightened. Once at the top of the monument this old couple looked timidly out of the windows at the gorgeous cycloramic view. “The man had many questions to ask, and every one of them was directed squarely at me. Several times I changed my position to anther window, but soon be intercepted me. I fear that the mince ple I ate the evening before was the cause of my making my answers so short. The questions came with such pertinacity and regularity that I finally began, in a half-disgusted manner, to point out places of interest without giv- ing him a chance to ask. ~ ‘And that building over there with the white pillars in front,’ I said, after enumer- ating a number of other places, ‘is the old home of Robert E. Lee.’ “What! he exclaimed, as he grasped my arm firmly, ‘the home of General Robert E. lee?’ placing the emphbsis gn the word general. “ *Yes,’ said I, impetugusly, ‘that is the home of General Robert B. Lae. “Well, well,’ said he; ‘that’s the most sacred spot on earth to me, ané I am goin; to pay a visit there if it's the last thing ever do.” “Great teardrops welled into his eyes as he spoke. From the little old wrinkled face of his companion tears also came. The oou- ple looked again and again toward Arling- ton, now the national cemetery of the Union soldier dead. “I fought four years tn the confederacy,’ said the old man, breaking the silence of a minute. ‘And I had two sops Killed at Vicksburg.” ee “Yes, and they were the dearest boys who ever lived,’ broke in the aittle old wo- man, with a faltering voice. = Ad “One was my baby,’.she added, as the tears bedimmed her eyes. “It was an affecting scene to'me, and, be- fore I hardly knew it, I was repressing tears from my own eyes.

Other Crimes for Which He Assumes Responsibility — Exonerates James Dandridge. Robert Henderson, colored, who was ar- rested Sunday morning by Policeman Mc- Grath of the segond precinct after he had entered the laundry of Lee Hing at 141414 P streat northwest and engaged in a shoot- ing affray with the Chinaman, as published in yesterday's Star, admits that he fired the shot recently which came so near kill- ing Moy Sing, another laundryman, at 10th and P streets. He also confessed that he robbed th2 laundry of Moy Sam, at 15th and Sampson streets. It is believed by the police that he will confess other robberies before he is tried and sentenced. His ‘confsssion, made last night, exon- erates James Dandridge, who was identi- fied by Moy Sing as the man who shot him. At the time Dandridge’s case was before the Police Court Mr. Mullowny, the prose- cuting attorney, doubted the prison2r’s guilt and consented to a small bond being given for him. Yesterday afternoon Inspector Boardman detailed Detectives Lacy and Browne to assist the second precinct officers in the investigation. After they had been with the prisoner some time the latter weakened and made three writtsn confessions. Resolves to Reform. In the first one he said: “I was in Rev. Mr. Lee's church, on Ver- mont avenue between Q and R streets northwest, on the night that Mr. Le2 asked to have money given to help clear James Dandridge of the charge of shooting Moy Sing. I then knew that Dandridge was not guilty, and felt sorry for him, as I had done the work myself.” In connection with this confession he said the appeal of Preacher Lee was very touch- ing, and said if the minister had talked much longer he would have got up in the church and confessed his guilt. He con- cluded that he would reform, and that he would not allow Dandridge to be punished, but afterward he was in need of funds, and therefore broke his good resolution. The second confession concerns the case in which Moy Sing was shot, and in it Hen- derson says: “I broke into Moy Sing's laundry at the corner of 10th and P streets and shot Moy Sing. I also stole two shirts from this laundry. The pink candle I bought from a store at 15th and P streets northwest. A boy waited on me, and I paid him 1 cent for It. The coat that was found in the Chi- naman’s hall I left there when I ran, and 1 bought the coat from a second-hand ‘store on 7th street. There was no money In the drawer of the laundry. The knife (left at Moy Sing’s) has one side of the handle off, and I would know the knife again !f I saw it, The blade was broken off by cutting the window out.” = Another Crime Confesned. A third time the prisoner was In a talka- tive mood, and he then signed the following statement: “I also broke into the laundry on 15th street near Samson street northwest, and fired one shot through the side window to scare the Chinaman. I did not get all the way in, as the Chinaman woke up, and it was then that I fired at him. Then I walked away and went to my home, 7 Frye’s court. I tore the coat that I now have on trying to get awa: 1 have at- tempted to rob three Chinam and in do- ing so have shot two of them.” Gives Particalars. Henderson yesterday told the police all about the robberies and assaults that he confessed having committed. He told where he had bought ths overcoat that he left at Moy Sing’s place and about the red candle that ne used while effecting an en- trance. Moy Sing, who had previously identified James Dandridge, saw H2nderson yesterday, but failed to recognize him. This morning Henderson was seen by other Chinamen, but none of them could identify him as having either robbed or assaulted them. The prisoner admits having served a term of two years in the penitentiary at Richmond for robbery committed at Cul- peper. Major Sylvester received a letter this morning from Constable W. C. George, Jr., telling something about the prisoner. He Says that Henderson was arrested at Cul- peper in 1897 for robbing a store and June 28 of that yar he was sentenced to two imprisonment. Several robberies were committed by Henderson at Culpeper, the constable says, and in each case an en- trance was effzcted through rear windows or doors. The prisoner will probably be taken to court tomorrow morning. SS RESERVE VOLUNTEER ARMY, Bill Introduced in the House by Rep- resentative Hay. Representative Hay of Virginia of the military committee of the House has intro- duced a bill to create out of the state mill- Ua a reserve volunteer army for use in time of war to supplement the regular army. The bill contemplates a general broadening of the basis of the National Guard, its equipment with the service rifle, and its complete organization in time of war into regiments, brigades, divisions and corps with the three battalion formation as in the regular army, and is designed to obviate the necessity of a large standing army upon the expiration of the present law, July 1, 1001. The bfll makes all citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five Hable to military service in the volunteer army. It appropriates $4,000,000 annually for the maintenance and equipment of the National Guard of the several states, this forming the nucleus of the volunteer army, and re- quires the Secretary of War to’ keep in each state a supply of ordance stores suffi- cient for ninety days’ use of the National Guard of the state in the event of war. It provides a system of mobilization for the guard by dividing the states into mili- tary divisions and provides for a board of officers in each state who shall hold exami- nations for the position of second Heutenant in the National Guard, such officers to be promoted for merit and efficiency. “The time has come,” said Mr. Hay, in explanation of his bill, “‘when it is neces- sary to consider carefully the question of the future military establishment of the United States. On the first day of July, 1901, the present army will be reduced to its peace basis of 26,610 men. Taking into account the situation which may confront us at that time, will it be necessary to in- crease the regular establishment beyond that number? The reasons given for such increase are various, but the most import- ant are that there must be a sufficient number of men to man effectively our sea- coast defenses; a sufficient number to pre- serve peace and order in the Philippine Is- lands, and a sufficient number to do police duty against Ahe Indians and to take care of the various posts in the United States. The number of men sufficient for these pur- poses is variously estimated at from 65,000 to 100,000 men; but it is not now necessary to determine this question, because a year may very materially change present condi- tions. But it will be admitted by all that the strongest argument which can be used against a large standing army is the crea- tion of a well-organized and thoroughly equipped National Guard. “This country has fought all of her wars with citizen soldiery, and no good reason can be given for departing from that policy. Money spent for the purpose of organizing and equipping the militia of the states is money saved, and the sooner this course is adopted the better it will be for the coun- try. Heretofore the militia has not been organized with a view to war. The folly, not to say the crime of such a policy was demonstrated in the Spanish war. The time has come when we must solve the problem of national defense, and solve it, if Possible, in a way to prevent the creation of a large standing army. An organized citizen soldiery, in touch with the people and composed of the people, does this. The object to be attained is to enact a law which will effectually create an organized militia which will be available at a mo- ment’s notice. ; “The bill, if enacted into law, will, it is onfidently believed, go far toward solving successfully the intricate problem of na- tional defense, and at the same time obviate the necessity for any increase of the stand- ing army.” Eczema Relieved in a Day.
