In anticipation of this, The Call has arranged & course of *twen- ty lessons in French conversa- tion,” prepared specially for Americans who have no knowl- edge of the language, by Profes- sor Benno Kirschbaum, a dis- tinguished French scholar and teacher. All readers of The Call who wish to make a beginning in French conversation will find it to their advantage to follow these studies. The ability to use ten French words “to the point” will help to make ‘“touring” easier, and a working vocabulary of one 3 hundred words will surely cover up & multitude of embarrass- 3 ments.

Knox of Massa- chusetts, chatrman of the House { Committee on Territories, has | completed his report on .he bill for the creation of the Territorial form | of government in Hawall, and it will be | submitted to the House to-morrow. The report is a very voluminous document, go- ing exhaustively into all the questions in- volved and thoroughly covering every | phase of the bill, which the committee has agreed upon after many hearings and much investigation. Chairman Knox says there {8 imperative need of early enact- ment of an organic act for Hawaii, as it has become apparent that there is much doubt of the extent of the power granted to the local government of Hawaii by the provisions of the joint resolution of annex- ation, and in many important respects there is something like an Interregnum in Hawall. Many doubtful questions of admiralty | and maritime jurisdiction have arisen, us well as of criminal procedure, rendering it uncertain whether there is now any tribunal for the decision of important questions affecting property and any ex- isting method by which criminals may be indicted or legal juries impaneled for their trial. There is also grave doubt concerning the power of the Hawallan Government | to grant franchises for industrial and | commercial enterprises or for rallways | which have been projected. In many re- | | spects the business affairs of the Terrl- -y are brought to a standstill. Many Americans have bought Government land sinde the annexation, on which they have built residences and planted crops, but their land titles are now in dispute and | cannot be settled until the passage of this | | bill. Meanwhile no Americans can setde | | in Hawail on homesteads or land to be ought from the Government, and a very | desirable class of citizens is thereby shut | out of this new Territory.

Of the 109.020 inhabitants in 1496, 31,019 were Hawallans, 8485 part Hawalians, 3086 Americans, 2250 British, 1432 Germans, 101 French, 378 Norwegians, 15,19 Portuguese, 24,407 Japanese, 21,616 Chinese and 1055 of other nationalities. The report says there has doubtless been some increase in the population since 18% from American and European immigra- tion and a very considerable increase from the Importation of Japanese laborers since | the passage of the annexation resolution, which may be taken at 20,000, so that the population of the Hawallan Islands at present may be placed at more than 120,- 0. Of this population the greater portion are Asiatics—Chinese and Japanese. With | the passage of this bill the Chinese will be excluded and the importation of Japa- nese contract laborers prohibited. Neither the Chinese nor Japanese have litical power and were not eligible to citizenship under the republic of Hawall, nor could they obtain homestead rights. The Chi- nese have come to Hawall intending to return to their native land when pos- sessed of what to them is a competence. ‘e Japanese largely have the same pur- 032, x’The Portuguese will furnish a part of the citizenship of Hawalil. They are or- derly, peaceable, intelligent and indus- trious. The native Hawallans will fur- nish also a part of the citizenship. They are industrious, peaceable and generous people. The free school, free church, free press and manhood suffrage have marked their progress. The government of the islands has shown the same progressive development. All the younger Hawailans speak, read and write the English lan- guage. But perhaps the chief considera- tion as to the fitness of the Hawalian people for a territorial government is that the dominant class, both in politics and business, is American. The government and policy of Hawali will be shaped in accordance with Ameri- can ideals. Assoclated with the Americans in Hawali are the English and Ger- mans, and it seems certain that the chief Hawaiian immigration in the future will be from America and Western Europe. The persons who were citizens of the re- public of Hawall on August 12, 189, are defined in article 17 of-the constitution of Hawall: Article 17—All persons born or naturalized in the Hawailan Islands and subject to the juris- diction of the republic are citizens thereof. This includes all who were subjects un- der the monarchy and all who became citizens of the republie. The bill proposes to strike out the dis- qualifications made under the republic to permanently disfranchise many of the inhabitants, especially native supporters of the monarchy. Blennial sessions of the Legislature are provided. The number of representatives is doubled to make it a more popular body. The total author- ized indebtedness is limited to 7 per cent of the assessed valuation of property of the islands. The report says the amend- ment striking out all property qualifica- tions for electors of Senators was made on account of great opposition made to this provision, both in the committee and | by other representatives. It appeared that such a qualification had heretofore existed in Hawail, and this fact had been salutary, and it is hoped that this amend- ment will not unfavorably affect either the character of so important a body as the Senate of Hawail, or ever be the means of vicious legislation. The provision that the fGovernor of the Territory of Hawail shall be a citizen of the Territory was inserted, for the reason that it was deemed inadvisable that the Governor of a Territory so remote, and where conditions were =o different from those prevailing in the main land, should have a greater familiarity with the needs overn than of the Territory he was to more indefinite residence would assure. | United States Subject to the American Tariff Regulations. ture of Hawall of the power of impeach- ing the Chief Justice and Justices of the | Supreme Court was made on account of the change in the method of their appoint- ment, from the Governor of the Territory to the President of the United Sta‘es, and it was deemed unwise to give this power to remove from office Judges ap- pointed by the President, and further rea- son is that the power of removal is given to_the President by the bill. Provision is made for the administration of the revenue and tariff laws of the United States, which are the laws govern ing Hawali, when the present bill shall be- come a law.

At this settlement there are still about 1000 patients who, together with three or four hundred as- have the settlement disturbed.

Mollneux, con- victed of the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, slept as calmly on Saturday | night as he did on any other | night since his incarceration fin the | Tombs, beginning nearly a year ago. | He arose at the usual time, exercised for one hour, ate breakfast and read with ap- | parent composure the morning newspa- | | pers, after which he attended the usual | Sunday services. The condemned man had but one visitor to-day. The caller was his grief-stricken and venerable father, who has not yet given up hope and expects that the higher | courts, which will be appealed to, will [ free his_son. All of the members of the jury refused to answer definite questions as to what had occurred in the jury-room, but one of them, desirous of imparting some in | formation regarding the final proceedings | of the celebrated case, made a statement, in which he sald: “If 1 were going to write as a reporter about it, I would probably commence by saying that the jury was a unit upon the guilt of the defendant: that one, two or perhaps three of them, however, thought it well to go through the case, discuss the varjous phases of it and see If the evi- dence beyond a most remarkable doubt would warrant such a verdict. “I understand there was much conject- ure as to why the jury did not go to lunch after the charge, as expected, and as a reporter 1 should attempt to ex- plain that by saying it was decided al- | most immediately after they reached the | room, while discussing whether to go to junch or not, that all were of one mind, and each thought the whole matter could be finished in probably an hour, at the most, and in order to get to thefr homes quietly they decided to forego the lunch and get along on the sandwiches.” “Would you write that there had been much balloting?” he was asked. “Well, I don’t think I would have much balloting in_my version—probably a pre- liminary and final after the discussion.” Farmers’ Institute Meets, Special Dispatch to The Call, WOODLAND, Feb. 11.—There was a meeting Saturday evening of those who signed a roll of permanent membership in the Yolo County Farmers' Institute. A permanent oragnization was effected by the election of C. T. Bidwell as presi- dent and Miss Carrie Blowers as secre- tary and treasurer. It was declded to hold frequent meetings of the local insti- tute and one annual institute In connec- tion with the State University.

MAYA INDIANS LOSE HEAVILY Mexican Troops Make Progress. AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 11.—A dispatch from Oaxaca, Mexico, says that General Bravo {s making good progress in his campaign against the Maya Indians in Yucatan. Several engagements between the Government troops and the Indians have taken place during the last two weeks, and the Maya losses are reported to_have been heavy. The mosquito fleet of gunboats which was sent up the Balize and Hondo rivers has been of little use, owing to the fact that the Indians have kept some distance from shore. Several small villages along these rivers have been destroyed by tho gunboat crews and marines. It is charged by Mexican army officials engaged in this campaign that the Mayas are constantly receiving valuable aid from the residents of British Honduras, TRANS-PERSIAN RAILWAY CERTAIN TO BE BUILT Route Will Be From Dshulfa, Via Hamadan and Kerman, to Bander Abbas.
