AdnilDlstrallon Will Leave Nothing Undone to Promote Territorial Bill Congress Must Have Time to Consider Details. Washington, D. C, Doc. 13. 1S99. "This la only a public ofllcc. Tlicro Is nothing of Interest to visitors hero." So said the doorkeeper of the Depart ment of Agriculture, to wlfo and mo as wo entered tho portals of one of the big brick buildings on tho Mall. "I have a letter of Introduction to tho Secretary." "That's different, .lust go Into tho chief fieri; s office, first door to tho 1 Ight around tho corner.' Obeying tho direction, 1 was court eously received by Colonel Andrew flcddos, tho chief clerk, who found that tho Secretary had not returned from n Cabinet meeting. Ho then very kindly asked mo to return nt 10 o'clock next morning. Upon entering tho chief clcik's omco nt thu nppolntcd hour this morning, I was ushered Into tho Secretary's room where two other callers wcro ahead of me. Tho second ono In turn was a Congressman Investigating n phase of tho civil scrvlco law that did not harmonlso with tho dispensation ot patronage by representatives ot tho people. I wns thus nn Involuntary auditor of an extremely Interesting olllclnl Inter view. It wns nn cxpcrlcnco behind th6 scenes of national politics of a highly Informing nature, lrtit, In ordinary pin prlcty, tho Insight gained can only be used with tho specific Instance reserv ed In strict confidence, when it may fall to my duty somo tlmo to dUcuss civil service mnttcrs In tho press. In the meantime Colonel Gcddes had . utiderscored somo words In my letter of Introduction nnd given It to tho pri vate clerk of tho Secretary. At tho same tlmo ho stood by with anxious politeness to sco that tho Honolulu visitor lost no chanco of receiving duo consideration amidst tho nroasuro upon the tlmo of tho Cabinet membar. While Secretary Wilson was engaged with the preceding cnllcis, I ha I a fine opportunity of noting his pergonal np pouranco and ofTlcIal monncr. lloth nro " In n high degree prepossessing and na hiirlng to strangers of a rccop'Ion that can only bo accorded by a perfect gen tleman. Ho Is u man of largo Imlld and lino proportions, having n maslvi head and strong but kindly foatuiva. Mnturo executive capacity Is rellecti'd In his demeanor and omphaslzal with umplo shocks of hair nnd commanding eye brows silvered with tho p.wago of mlddlo life. Scotsman thoimh ho Is, and a thorough typo of tin lutPlllga'it farmer of thnt race, Mr. WllMm speaks with tho Intonntlon nnd Idiom ot nn old-fashioned New Engiander a char acteristic, by tho wny, which 1 have noticed ha3 been largely transplanted to tho Western country. "Who's next?" ho asks In u hustling touo as ho sends tho Congressman out with assurance of all tho satisfaction the Department can affoid And, as my good menu nt court, mo cniei clerk, hands him tho letter with on assisting remark of his own " wen, .what can I do for you?" nsked In a cheery way. Then, beforo ono hns tlmo to set his reply "Who Is tills Mr. C ?" "Oh, yes, I know them very well." This, when told of tho Uuslnr u of tho Introducer In Omaha, and the fact that his father was n plonte of that pro gressive western town, "In the first placo I wished to meet yourself on tho strength of the kind Introduction given mo. Thou I should llko to ask If you enn glvo me any word of encouragement to scud homo ahead of myself, regarding tho prospect o! legislation to glvo Hawnll an organic law as n Territory ot tim united States?" "Well, as you know by tho Presi dent's message tho Administration Is nnx.lous to havo tho affairs of Hawaii net right at tho earliest posslblo mo ment. I think tho prospoctH for tho early consideration of tho bill, which was submitted to last Congress by tho Hawaiian Commission, and Its pas3 ogo in good slinpo nro very favorable. Hawaii comes In Its regular turn. Alas ka has tho first claim to attention, then It Is Hawaii, next Porto niro, nnd so on." Hero I raado n remark aft to dlro con bequences Unblo to befall tho Islands if tho main legislation wrio delayed over this session. "Oh, I don't nntlclpato nnythlne so bad as that," tho Secretary replied. Your peoplo have shown they are woll iiblo to tako caro of thomsoives. "That Is Just tho trouble, Mr. Sec retary. Wo havo arrived nt a stage wherolt Is doubtful If tho power Is left us to tako caro of ourselves. In tho opinion of a good many, tho Islands ore about left without any legal uulhorlty to collect revenuo or appropriate It for tho necessary public services. Such u situation, If It oxlst, would amount vir tually to anarchy." . "Oh, I don't think thero will bo any thing so bad as that. Your peoplo will havo to oxerclso tho strong common Ljfc... , JRfcJ. vlK. jJl'. ... .ttanttto. iiJ U.'.J seii80 that has served them so well In tho past." "Hut," 1 ventured to remark, "that very oxpcrlonco In taking caro of them selves has developed Borne rather smart peoplo down there. Tho fear Is that when these find their supposed Inter ests crossed by any net of President Dolo's government, or oven by that of President McKlnley, they will havo recourse to tho courts, nnd n formid able crop of litigation will further add to the confusion of counsels." "I trust It will not bo so bad as that," snld tno Secretary. Then, quickly "Havo you seen President McKlnley?" "No, sir. I havo no commission from tho Government of Hawaii, but have Blmply taken ndvnntngo of this oppor tunity to put In n word with you ns a member of tho Administration, for tho benefit of tho Islands." "Well, you may assure your people thnt tho Administration will leavo nothing undono to hnstcn tho granting of complcto satisfaction of tho Hawa iian Islands. You must remember, however, that nil theso now posses sions mnko problems thnt nro strange to our public men. Our peoplo In Con gress must tako full opportunity ot mastering nil such questions ns they arise. They will not do anything with their eyes shut. Hawaii, however, stands In somewhat different rolatloos to tho Union from other now posscu slons, and It Is to bo hoped no serious obstnelo will prevent It receiving tho legislation It requires." Thanking Secretary Wilson for his very gracious reception and words, I said on rising to glvo place to other callers now In tho room: "Just ono moro question. Is there anything I can say regarding the poli cy of your own Department toward the Islands? "Yes," Mr. Wilson eagerly respond cd. "I have asked Congress for lli- tecn thousand dollars to establish an experimental station In Hawnll. Men of sclenco will bo sent thero to conduct tho Institution for tho benefit ot tho agricultural and horticultural enter prises of tho group. Wo may tako over tho existing oxperiment station or start a now one, according to what may bo decided best." Tho chief of Undo Sam's farming Industry turned bilskly, with nn nff nblo parting gesture, to his next visi tor, whllo CoKniel Geddcs escorted your correspondent out with n cordial Invi tation to como again beforo leaving tho cupltal.

Custom House Figures of December Compared With Previous Years Big Advance In Every Line Ships of Many Nations. During tho month of December, 1899, the largest nmount ot Imports ever re corded for ono month In Honolulu was received. Sixteen foreign steamers nnd forty eight sailing vessels arrived In port with cargoes. This does not Includo tho largo number of United Stntes transports that entered tho harbor bringing stock and quartermaster's supplies. There were forty general cargoes, amounting to n total of 15,000 tons; 11 cargoes of coal, tho total being 22,850 tons nnd thirteen vessels brought In lumber with a total of 9,198,520 feet. Theso figures havo been taken from Hoarding Olllccr G. W. Klester's book for the past month. An Idea of tho Increaso In Importa tions during tho past two years can be gained by comparing the figures of the import cargoes of tho month of De cember of 1897 and December of 1898 with thoso ns given nbovc of last month. During December, 1S97 thero wero fifteen sailing vessels and cdoven steamers that entered tho port with enrgocs amounting to 3,200 tons of coal, 10,193 tons general merchandise and 1,034,901 feet of lumber. December, 1898 shown n record of forty steamers and sailing vessels with cargoes with tho following totals: 25,- 921 tons of coal; 20.012 toiiB general merchandise, and 1,054,199 feet ot lum ber. The increase of this last December over tho last month In tho year 1897 Is 19,050 tons coal, 5,103,019 feet of lumber nnd 31,803 tons general mer chandise. Tho Incrcnbo over December 1898 is 2I.38S tons general merchandise- nnd 7.C4 1,321 feet of lumber. Tho coal figures, however, show a decrease, thoro being 3,071 tons moro brouRht In during December 1898 than December 1S99. These figures are nn average compar ison of tho Incicaso ot each month of tho piiBt year over tho samo months of tho two yenrs previous. Tho acquisition of these Islands by tho United States has given nn impe tus to Honolulu thnt has attracted tho commercial Interest of tho world. Tho carrying and shipping to this port has grown with such rapidity that tho In- crcaso of trado of this last December compared with December of a year ago Is something phenomenal. In evldenco of tho prosperity of tho port, a walk along tho water front will show every nvallablo dock nnd berth occupied by vessels unloading enrgocs of every description, nnd n largo num ber anchored In tho strenm compelled toawlt for days on account ot tho smnll nccommodatlons beforo being nblo to discharge. Thu Honolulu of today and tho Ho nolulu of tho near futuro needs harbor room, moro docks, larger wharves and a better nnd quicker system of hand ling tho shipping. Sailing ships and steamers from all over tho owrld nro to bo found In tho harbor nt present, and during the past month tho harbor held vessels from foreign ports whoso registers wcro from tho small schooner of 23 tons up to tho monster cargo steamer Algoa of 14,000 tons. Most of tho vessels, how over, nro sailing ships, messengers ot commerce, carrying miscellaneous cargoes of such a character ns not to demand speed and also rendering tho rates ot freight lighter. Flags ot many nntlons nro to bo seen filing from masts; tho Stars and Stripes, tho Urltlsh Union Jack, the Hags of Germany, Japan nnd others nro nil In evidence. Last, but not least, aro tho many Island steamers that carry on tho traf fic and communication among tho Isl ands of tho group. Without them Ho nolulu would Indeed bo lost, us thoy bring to this port tho sugar and carry to our neighbors n largo proportion of tho imports that aro landed In Ho nolulu from foreign shores.

At n meeting of tho Hoard of Health yesterday afternoon President Wood mnuc the report that tho Chlnnman, Leung Yet by name, taken from tho restaurant on Nuuanu opposlto Mer chant Btrcct, had died from tho plaguo nnd that tho pooplo from tho Immedi ate uclgnborhood hnd been removed to quarantine. Tho Hoard declared the placo a source of danger to the com munity and ordered It destroyed. In accordance with this order tho fire department turned out early this morn ing nnd tho various companies were stationed nt various points ot vnntnge. The heavy telephono cablo running up Ntiunmi on tho Ewn side of tho street wns found to bo In tho path of tho proposed lire nnd It was not until close upon 9 o'clock that this nnd other wires wero removed to 11 Bofo distance. To get tho cnblo out of tho wny It was necessary to saw oil tho top ot one of U10 poics. Next enmo 11 drenching with both fresh nnd snlt water of tho brick .nilldlngs of the neighborhood. It was at about 9 o'clock that the flru was started on tha upper floor ot tho rickety old Honolulu restnurnHt, tho mlddlo building ot tho threo on Nuuanu sticet. Tho extreme rotten ness of tho buildings caused tho II ro to spread very rapidly. In n half hour the 1 rs tau rant was almost totnlly de stroyed. In the 111 can tlmo the llamcs had reached tho building on tho mnuka side nnd Bhortly after, tho ono on tho maknl side. Hy 11 o'clock tho whole collection of rotten buildings had been levelled to the ground nnd tho great crowds that collected 011 King, Mer chant nnd Queen streets went on their way satisfied that tlnjy had seen n very grand spectacle. As usual, tho 11 ro department did ex cellent work, protecting tho surround ing buildings bo that not oven a pane of glass was broken.!

Good Prospects of Early Action A Smtll Cloud the Horizon - Assistant Postmaster General Gives Ioformatlon on PostofDce Hitters. Omaha, Neb., homeward bound, Dec. 18, 1899. While looking for tho ilawallan delcgntcs In Washington, I raised Rep resentative Knox, who was chairman ot the Committee on Territories In the last Congress. Answering my ques tions Mr. Knox spoke In effect thus: "I think the prospects nro good for the early pasngo ot tho Hawnllau bill. It would havo passed at last session only for tho opposition of Speaker Heed, who, ns you know, hnd been strongly opposed to annexation, nnd oven after tho fact obstructed to tho last tho consummation of the net. "It Is not certain to what commlttco the bill will go lu tho House, but prob ably It will bo to that on territories. Yes, the bill lu tho Senate hos been re ferred to tho Commltteo on Foreign HclntloiiB, ns Senator Cullom, chair man of thnt committee, wns nlso chair man of tho Hnwnilan Commission that prepared tho bill. "Tho Houso committees will bo an nounced before tho holidays, nnd I think tho Hnwnilan bill will bo favor ajly reported soon nftcr Congress re assembles. I am not nwnro of any op position whatovcr in Congress to the bill, although there may bo differences of opinion over tho dctnlls. Yes, the early Introduction of tho bill gives it a good start nmmig the first orders for consideration. "Of courso there are many new problems arising under expansion, but It Is generally recognized thnt tho caso ot Huwnil stnnds on n different footing from that of the other now posses sions." Mr. Kuo expressed his pleasure nt obtaining Information about the situ ation In tho Islands, face to faco ,fru., n resident of thu group. HeprcRcntntlvo Hltt. pleasantly re membcrcd at tho Islands ns 11 member of thu Hnwnilan Commission, was found to bo nt his homo uptown. Dr. Hnycs, who wns secretary ot tho Com mission nnd now gave 1110 a hearty wel como nt tho Houso Commltteo on For eign Relations room, telephoned out and conveyed to mo lu reply n cordial Invitation to call 011 Mr. Hltt forth with. , The veteran Congressman received 1110 cheerily In his library, upstairs In a beautifully furnished mansion n few blocks above tho Whlto Houso. llo wns vigorously ripping tho covers off u heavy paper mall, hnvlng but lately gono through n correspondingly largo dump ot letters. "It Is different from nn editor's mnll," ho observed nnsworliiK a com parison. "You nro not obliged to pay nny attention to tho bulk of your news paper mall, while hardly any of tho let ters I rcrelvo but demand somo kind of un answer. My correspondents do not wrlto to mo, by nny menus, for the sake of my own he.ilth." Mr. Hltt did most ot tho Interview ing, yet freely nnswered questions re garding tho Hawaiian bill. Ho was not nwaro of any existing focus of op position to tho bill ns a whole, but was almost pessimistic regarding tho pos sibility of a "nigger In the woodpile" developing when details enmo up for decision. Tho same powerful Interests that would havo defeated Hawaiian an nexation wero It not for tho Incidence of tho war with Spain might spring op position to n complete application ot tho national customs tariff to Hawnll. They do not want to seo sugar refining stnrted in tho Islands. To n rcmnrk thnt tho fuel question would probably bo all tho protection they required on that score, and that It was nonsenso for them to think of tariff discrimination against nn organic pnrt of tho Union, Mr, Hltt replied: "No. Nothing Is nonseiiBo whero money Is Involved to nny of tho power ful financial organizations Btnniling lendy to tako Congress by tho throat for their own selfish purposes." Tho Hnwnllnn land question enmo up in conversation. Mr. Hltt said noth ing could bo clearer than that Presi dent McKlnley could not, under tho resolution of nnncxntlon, havo done nnythlng else than call n halt in tho disposition of tho lands by President DoIo'b administration. Ho drew out a copy of tho Nowlands resolution as ho was speaking, nnd read it with empha sis on tho passago declaring that "Con gress shall enact laws" for tho man agement 01 tho public lands of Ha waii. "This resolution was practically mado by tho Hawalhins themselves," Mr. Hltt went on, "Mr. Hatch nnd other representatives had It beforo them long beforo its Introduction nnd approved of It In Its final form. The resolution did not belong to Its Introducer at nil. I had It lu my own hands for weeks, and tho mover of It was selected ultimately with tho purpose of drawing support from n certain quarter." Mr. Hltt expressed tho view that President Dolo erred In the matter Blmply from extreme devotion to tho cnuso ot homestoadlng the lands. Ho . h .ajikw.A !.Hf-l spol-o nlmost derisively of any con Mderable success over coming to n lomestend policy In tho Islands. "Tho basis of your agricultural enterprise," no remarked, "Is tho six hundred thousand dollar Joint stock planta tion." This land matter was put to Mr. Hltt It mny be stntcd, because a public olll clnl In Washington had uttered n sus picion to mo that political Intrlguo wnt. nt the bottom of the rebuff given to President Dole. Mr. Hltt, In bidding mo a friendly goouby, expressed regret thnt I could not remain long enough to go before tho commltteo on tho Hawaiian bill when It got to work. Ho qunshed my demurrer thnt I wns only thero sight seeing nnd In no official capacity. Bay ing. "Information Is most userui to us now, nnd you have tho facts po'ld." Among letters of Introduction I car ried wns ono to Hon. Perry S. Heath, First Assistant Postmaster General, who Is Identified with Hawaiian Inter ests through his promptness In secur ing tho first refusal of tho charter for tho First National Hank of Hawaii. In reaching his hendqunrters I found thnt ..10 postnl departmental olllccs hail been removed from their old building Indicated In the guldo book to tho Washington postofllce. Mr. Heath Is a very genial man nnd his welcome was accordingly pleasant. About the Hn wnllnn bill, his opinion was that It would not go through until Into In the session. "Oh, no. There Is no fear of Its go ing over altogether. This Congress will not adjourn until tho Hawaiian territorial bill has been passed." Mr. Heath Bpoko cheerfully about tho prospects of tho bank already men tioned. "Three of the strongest banks In New York nre at tho back of It, besides other banks including tho Anglo-Cnll-foruia of San Francisco. Wo thus can rediscount our own paper nnd wo havo nlmost unlimited resources of capital for Investing In solid Hawaiian Securi ties." Mr. Heath said that no npproprla tlons wero being nsked of Congress for the purposes of taking over the Iln. wallan postal system. "It Is not thought necessary, ns tho Hnwaiian postolllco comes so near to making both ends meet." Ho was reminded thnt our system I yielded n goodly net revenue, nnd then nsked If wo were to have a now build Ing nt Honolulu or would the old ono bo remodeled. Also ho was reminucii that tho business was Increasing wIUi strides nnd tho accommodation bccoin .ng straitened. Tho nnsworB showed that theso matters have yet to rccelvo consideration nt Wnshlngton. Hegnrd lng tho management of the Hawaiian postofilccs when tnken over, Mr. Heath Bald: . "It will probably bo something llko tho granting ot frco delivery to towns. When n town nttnlns to a population of 10.000 and thus tho right to free pos tnl delivery, all of Its postofllco em ployes nt tho tlmo excepting tho post master, whose appointment comes irom tho President nro forthwith placed on tho classified civil service list without being required to pass an examina tion." Mr. Heath kindly tendered his nld in making tho Honolulu visitor's stay at tho capital pleasant, but tho neces sity of leaving within a few hours thence only nllowed mo tho returning of thanks for nil of his courtesy.
