Reporte oe Hawaii
Teutona Form of Govern
ment is Beoommended.
Washington, Dee. 6.-The president
I to-day transmitted to congress the
report of the Hawaiian commission,
oonsis?ing of Senator Cullom and
Morgan, Representative Hitt, President
Dole sod Joatice Frear of Hawaii,
together with the text of bills drawn
by the commission for the government
> of the islands as a portion of the United
States. The preliminary portion of the
- report is mainly descriptive of the
Hawaiian ' islands, the inhabitants, the
existing iniititatioo8, the public domain,
k production?, climate, harbors and
shipping facilities, and various condi?
tions of general Enterest. The remaining
. portion is mainly devoted to a discussion
nf the legislation proposed by the
commission, giving in the appendix
the various reports of sob-committees
' &id copies of the bill suggested.
Three bills are formulated for the
consideration of congress. The first
fe aod principal one outlines a general
plain of government and the other two
deal with subordinate questions.
It provides for the erection of the
islands into a i&ritory of the United
States to be styled the territory of
Hawaii. The bill contains provisions
for the government of the territory,
giving it executive, legislature and
judicial ofileers? A governor, secretary
t of the territory, a United States district
\judge, a United States district attorney
and a United States marshal are to be
appointed by the president and? an
internal revenue district and a customs
district are created The offices of
president, minister of foreign affairs,
finance, public in s tr action, auditor
general, deputy auditor, surveyor
general and marshal are abolished.
The officers of the territory under the
aew regime are ao attorney general,
with similar powers and duties as now
possessed by the attordey general of the
republic ' of Hawaii, with a few excep?
tions ; a treasurer, with similar powers
~ and dates to the present minister of
finance, and such powere and duties
regarding licenses, corporations and
companies and partnerships and regis?
tration of prie ts, labels and trademarks
as are now possessed by the minister
of the interior, except as changed ;
l-*leo a aapariotendent of public warks,
a suprio ten dent of publie instruction,
an auditor and a deputy auditor, a
surveyor with the powers and duties of
a surveyor general, anda chief sheriff to
succeed . co the d?tes of marshal of the
republic, all to be appointed by the
governor. -
Probably the most important portion
of the bill is section four, defining
citizenship, which provides that - ?ali
white persons, inoluding Portuguese
and persons of African descent, and all
persons descended from foe Hawaiian
race, on either the paternal or maternal
side who were citizens of the republie
of Hawaii immediately prior to the
transfer of the sovereignty thereof to
. the United States, are hereby declared
to be citizens of the United States."
Provision ie made for a legislature to
consist of two houses, a senate to
consist of 15 members, as at present,
and a house of representatives, consist
4cg of 30 a embers, double the mern
bership of the bouse UL der the Hawaiian
republic. The members are to be
elected at a general election to be held
on Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, 1S99, and bien nal ly there?
after. The supreme court is to be the
sole judge of the legality of electioo to
-a seat io either house in oase of contest.
The sessions of the legislature are
limited to 60 days io duration and each
member is idlowed ?400 as salary and
10 cents a catie for traveling expenses.
A senator is required to be a male
citizen of the United States. 30 years
of age, to have .-?sided io the territory
three years, be the owner in his own
right of $2,000 worth of property, or
60 have during the preceding year
received gi.000.
Representatives most be 25 years
old, male citizens, most have lived
three years io Hawaii and most either
own $500 worth of property or have an
income of $250 a year.
The bili also provides for the eleotieo j
of a delegate to the house of represen
tari-ves io congress by the voters j
qualified to vote for representative in
the legislature, this delegate to possess
?he same powers and privileges now
acoorded to other delegates ic congress
The bill provides that the constitution
and laws of the United States locally
applicable shall have the same force
and effect in the territory of Hawaii as
elsewhere io the United States
This is the usual provision found in
the act of congress providiog for the
establishment of territorial governments
in the Uoited States, bot the commis
stoners regard the provision as excep?
tionally important in this bill for many
reasons, among which they mention the
continued importation coolie labor into
Hawaii.
The commissioners take pains to
express their united opinion that the
plan outlined for the government of
Hawaii cannot be regarded as a
precedent for Puerto Rico and the
Philippines.
The report is unanimous except
upon one point on which President
Dole makes a minority recommends
tion. This recommendation is for a
board of advisors to the governor of
the territory and be recommends that
the treasurer, attorney general, su?
perintendent of public works and tbe
commissioner of public lands shall be
constituted special counselors of the
governor to be consulted by trim con
ceraing all matters of public policy.
/The majority in their report express
tne opinion that the precaution is not
necessary.
Of the other two bills, one relates
to Hawaiian silver and treasury notes
and the other to postai savings banks
in Hawaii. The first provides that
tinmntilated Hawaiian silver coins
shall be received at par vaine ?B pay
meet of ali debts to the government
of the territory of Hawaii and of tbe
United States and shall not again be
issued, bat shall on presentation in
sums of $500 to either government
be purchased and recoined as bullion
at the United States at San Francisco.
AH Hawaiian .silver certificates are
to be redeemed by the territory of
Hawaii on or before Jan. 1, 1902.
The other is a bill which repeals
the Hawaiian laws establishing postal
savings banks and directs th? secre?
tary of the treasury to pay the
amounts on deposit in the postal sav?
ings banks in Hawaii to the persons
entitled thereto, terminating the in*
terest on all deposits on the first of
July, 1899, and forbidding further
deposits after that date
Tbe report contains an inventory
of the pnblic property of the republic
which cow inures to the United
States, which is of an estimated vaine
! of $10,418,740.
Crude Oil for Bad Roads.
Major M Meigs, a civil engineer
of Koekuk, Iowa, made a short ad?
dress at yesterday's session of the
Missouri good roads association,
which, in the opinion of many, was
the most interesting part of the day's
work. He opened a new field of
investigation, and proposed experi?
ments in securing good roads along
a line practically unknown outside of
a few localities in the east. It is his
opinion that the use of crude oil
may prove a panacea for bad roads in
localities where road material is hard
to obtain.
He said his attention was first
directed to using oil on the highways
by reading a uewpaper clipping from
a Pennsylvania town It seems that
a leaky oil pipe near the town in
question was responsible for the
discovery. This pipe was near a
place ic the road that was invariably
impassable during the season of
spring and fall rain Waen the leak
occurred in the pipe the ground
became saturated to some extent
with oil, and very soon it was noticed
that the mud dried up and the surface
of tbe earth became bard and remain
ed so It appears that so notorious
was this piece of bad road that the
effect of the oil on it became a matter
of so much comment that presently
the experiment was repeated in
other localities, and with the same
effect.
Major Meigs said that he sent a
letter to the officiais of the Standard
Oil company and asked them to
famish him some crude oil for expe
ri m eui al purposes. They forwarded
a tank containing 130 barr?is with
their compliments and wishes for
success Some eight barrels of this
oil have been used on a notoriously
muddy road near Keokuk with most
.satisfactory results
Major Meigs said that it was no
trouble anywhere to keep dry roads
in good condition at minmum ex?
pense Oil will prevent the earth
from becoming wet by forming a
waterproof crust. So far as he bas
carried on experiments a barrel of
crude oil is sufficient for a strip of
road 100 feet long and 12 feet wide.
The cost of oil at the wells is about
90 cents a barrel No other material,
he said, is so cheap, and no other
will prove so effective. In conclu?
sion, he said that he would send oil
free to all wishing to make experi?
ments if they would pay tbe freight.
Major Me ig's speech caused a great
deal of comment. To the delegates
it seemed to open an entirely new
field. Many questions were asked
bim, all of which he answered as in?
formation warranted. He explained
the well known theory that oil aud
water will not mix, and mads it apply
to the question of grfod roads. The
earth was porns enough, be said, to
retain the oil and cause it to shed
water, so that where the oil took hold
moisture must depart, and naturally
the earth became compact.
It is maintained that no roads are so
good as dirt ones when .they are dry,
and none so cheap. In many locali?
ties material for constructing macadam
or gravel roads most be brought long
distances, and consequently is quite
j costly. But from what Major Meigs
said it was thought possible that with
the aid of crude oil earth could be
utilized at a much less cost than mac?
adam and gravie, even when the latter
was near at hand -St Louis Repub

How to Look Good
Good looks aie really more nan skia deep
depend?as entirely on a bealthly condition of
all tbe vital organs. If the liver be inactive,
you have a billious look ; if your ?toinach be
disorded, you have a dyspeptic look; if your
kidneys be afiected, you have a pinched look;
Secure good health, and you will surely have
good looks. "Electric Bitters" is a good Al?

FOOLS.
Why is ic that, ordinarily, wheo
man is really a fool, he Mods it so bard
to restrain himself from letting all the
world know it-by his words or deeds?
Indeed, I might ask further, why is be
! so ambitious to posh the fact of his folly
from the house-top ? Give it np? Because
he is such a fool ? Gan be help it ?
Nevertheless, I knew a man of 60
years who once confessed to me that
daring more than the first half of bis
life he was so paiofal conscious of
being a fool-or at least so far below
the average intelligence of common
men as they assumed to be-that he
was always nervously apprehensive of
being found out, and brought into de*
risioQ and contempt, by those around
him. He had guarded his secret most
circumspectly. Of course, he was a
born ooward and deficient in self-esteem.
Ooly by years of experience did he
discover ( he ventured to tell me) that
he was quite equal in all mental es?
sentials to the majority. Then he ob?
tained equipoise and held up his head
like other men. Indeed, the fact that he
knew so well his limitation? often made
him rank above some who lacked that
wise element of honest humility. As
Leopardi says : "The surest way to
oonoeal from others the limits of our
knowledge is never to uransgress them.

The Secret of This Opal.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
A New Orleans jeweler tells a rather
whimsical little story at the expense
of a gentleman of this city who plumes
himself on his freedom from superstition.
"Back io the '80s sometime,'' said the
jeweler, 4'be bought ao opal ring while
on a visit to El Paso, Texas. The
setting was supposed tc come from the
Mexican mines, aod was remarkably
handsome and fol) of lire. It was
mounted with ten small brilliants and
made really a very stri k?rg crcsment
but, as usual, the friends of its owoer
were comioually predicting that it
wonld bring bim bad lock. He laughed
at their alarm and finally took a great
deal of pride io vaunting his superior?
ity to popular superstition. About a
mooth ago he lost one of the briliaots
and brought the riog here for repairs.
'I've worn this opal for overteo years,'
he said, 'ano I've yet to dicover that
it was responsible for any misfortune
Plague take each silly notions, anyhow
Wheo I repaired the mount I examine,
the setting carefully, and was greatly
amused to discover that it wasn't and
opal at all, but merely a piece of colored
glass. Opals, by the way, are easily
imitated, the current belief to the
contrary notwithstanding. When be
told the gentleman about it it made
him so mad that be gave the ring to
his negro porter."
London, Dec. 10 -The Times,
dealing editiooally this morning with
the "evidences of strong opposition to
the annexation poiisy in the Ucited
States," aod the rumors that America
will resell the Philippines, says :
"Despite all tbi?, we believe that the
far eastern interests of the United States
sod Eogland will be brought into line
and be jointly safeguarded by a combi?
nation so strong and imposing that no
otber powers coold venture to defy it.''
Washington, Dec. 5 -Senor Don
Matias, the Mexican minister at Wash?
ington, has returned to this city from
the City of Mexico. Eis government
bas determined to advance the Mexican
mission here to the rank cf an embassy.
Powell Clayton, at present the United
States minister to Mexico, will soon
become, therefore, ambassador of the
United States to Mexico. This actioo
of the Mexican government is but one
of a number of significant facts point?
ing to a soddenly aroused conception
on the part of foreign nations of the
growing importance of Washington as
a diplomatic post.
Miss Schenok, the Long Island
young lady who last summer started
that 10 cent endless chain business to
help the war along, would like to close
op ber self imposed job, but the letters
still continue to oome io at tbe rate
of about 100 a day. Up to the 1st
inst she bad received about 233.000
letters, the cash contained amounting
to $20,300. Many of tbe letters con
tained no dime, the comer being torc
of! aod the dime stolen.
