INSULT THROUGH IGNORANCE.
The Toyo Klshen Kaleba'u steamship
America Maru committed an indignity
to the American flag this morning. It
hoisted It below tbe Japanese flag on
the foremast. Tbe Stare and Stripes
was thus placed at balfmaet with the
flag ot a foreign nation above It. Brit
ish steamers carrying American malts,
and American steamers carrying Brit
ish malls, are a common sight in Ho
nolulu. Before tbe. Hawaiian flag went
out of existence on the teas, the prac
tice was to carry the Hawaiian flag on
the foremast on coming Into port. It
It was a British steamer tbe American
flag would fly at tbe tcp of another
mast, and vlce(verea with an American
steamer; while fhe,flag ct tbe country
to which the steamer belonged was
carried at the peak. There was no plac
ing of one nation's flag above another.
Nobody for a moment believe e that tha
Japanese steamer has made this
breach of International etiquette wan
tonly. Japan Is still young in ocean
steamship commerce, and tbe ofHcers
of the America Maru will be up to
their business sometime.
JIM THE PENMAN TOMORROW.
There will be but two more perform
ances by the Nelll Company In Hono
lulu. Tomorrow evening "Jim, tho
Penman," Sir Charles Young's very ro
markable drama will be given. The
story of the play concerns tbe famous
forgeries of James RawHton, who
writes a letter In Imitation of a girl's
lover In which the lover le made to
say that he casts her off. In that way
James Itawlston wins his wife and It Is
through such methods, that he after
wards becomes very rich, as do all his
colleagues. Mr. Nelll will be Been as
Redwood, a detective wbo bunts Rata
ton down after years of continuous
search.
The Netlls farewell will occur next
Thursday evening, when "Mr. Barnes
of New York" will be the play. There
will doubtless be two Immense audi
ences to bid God-speed to the fine (Ira
matlc organization that has given nn
the finest and most enjoyable season
of high class dramas and comedleB that
this city has ever enjoyed.

A later telegram says that a German

The Emperor, in nddresstng tho ma
rines before they sailed, said that the
crime (the murder of the German-Min

Oplotot of Attorney Geieral on Effect
of Territorial let.
EioeiUtM to Mini Lit altliit Alltni
fttfeVllfj lud-ChiotM tod J if.
mm An Dtbirrts.
Attorney General Dole at this morn
ing's council submitted to Governor
Dole an "opinion relative to tho effect
upon the Land Act ot 1895 ot the Ter
ritorial Act and of tho extension of the
Constitution and laws of tho United
States to theso Islands."
He finds that section 90 of tho Land
Act, relating to tho appointing power
In certain cases. Is the only section of
tho law expressly repealed by the Ter
ritorial Act.
The Land Act was Intended to pro
mote ths acquisition of homesteads by
people of small means 1st, by Inalien
able and unattnchable homestead
leases, for 999 years; 2d, by right of
purchase leasen,for 21 years.
"I am of, tho opinion," soys tho At
torney General, "that the; provisions
of the Land Act relative to homestead
leases and right of purchaso leases nro
repealed by Implication, being Incon
sistent with section 73 of the Territor
ial Act which declares, among other
things, that 'no lcnso ot agricultural
land shall be granted, sold or renewed
bythe Government 'of tho Territory
of Hawaii! for a longer period than
five years until Congress shall other
wise direct."
Third (Lands may be acquired under
i tho Land Act,) by cash freeholds.
Tho Attorney General Is ot opinion
that the privilege ot acquiring n home
stead under the system of cash free
holds docs not conflict with tho Ter
ritorial Act, but thinks that tbo privi
lege Is materially restricted by Section
73 of the Territorial Act where, among
other changes In tho Land Act, It Is
prescribed that tho words, "that I am
a citizen of the United States," or "that
I have declared my Intention to be
come a clten of the United States .as
required by law," shall lie substitute-!
for the words, "that I am a citizen by
birth (or naturalisation) ot the Re
public of Hawaii," or, "that I havo re
ceived letters of denization under the
Republic of Hawaii, or "that I havo
twnlvpfl n pnrllflpnto nt flnjwltil rltht
of clzen9np from ,ho RepuWc ,
Hawaii"
Quoting tho old form ot application,
the Attorney General proceeds to say:
"Tho Territorial Act plainly restricts
acquisition ot homesteads under the
system ot cash freeholds, pursuant to
the Land Act of 1895, to citizens ot the
United States and those who havo
legally declared their Intention to be-
corao such citizens.
This excludes Asiatics, except the
few who wero citizens of tho Republic
of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, and havo
consequently become, citizens of the
United States pursuant to Section 4 ot
the Territorial Act, as Section 21C9 of
tho Revised Statutes of tho United
States (2d and Ed.( limits' naturaliza
tion to aliens who are free white per
sons or who are of African nativity ot
descent."
Next the Attorney General points
cut that Section 19 ot the Land Act Is
modified by Section 73 ot the Territor
ial Act limiting general leases of agri
cultural pubIc lands to terms ot flvo
years.
Then, as to sales: "Section 201 ut
tho Chll Laws ot 1897 (Section 17 ot
the Land Act) provides for the salo pt
public lauds not under lease, in parcels
or not more than one thousand acrei,
at public auction. Such sales are dis
cretionary with the Government nnd
tho purchaser Is not required by the
Land Act or by Section 73 of tho Terri
torial Act to make any declaration of
citizenship. Any alien, being tho high
est bidder, might have tbe right to
purchase, If not debarred by Chapter
263 of tho Statutes of tho Second Ses
sion of the Fifty-fourth Congress ap
proved March 2, 1897, entitled, 'An Act
to Better Define and Regulate tbo
Rights ot AllenB to Hold Real Estate In
the Territories,' amending an Act of
Congress passed ten years earlier."
He quotes the provisions In question,
which declare that no alien "shall ac
quire tltlo to or own any land In any
of tho Territories of the United
States," with toe following exceptions,
viz.: where tbo right Is Becured. by
treaty, so long as such treaty Is In
force; an alien who shall become a
bona fide restdent'of tho United States,
or shall have declared his Intention to
become a citizen; tho acquiring ot lots
or parcels of land In any Incorporated
or platted city, town or village, or of
any mine or mining claim, tho acquir
ing of land by Inheritance, In tho ordi
nary course of Justice In the collection
of dobts, and the lending of money and
securing It upon real estate.
Regarding Chinese and Japaneso the
Attorney General says:
"I havo not been able to discover
anything which excepts subjects of tho
Chinese Einplro from the operation of
Japan Will Investigate
Local Labor Troubles
Mr. Takahlra, the newly appointed
Japaneso Minister to Washington, Is
going to his destination In the America
Maru. His Excellency was earnestly
engaged with Mr. Salto, Consul tor Ja
pan, at the Consulate this forenoon.
Mr. Salto, after consulting with the
Minister, said to a watting reporter:
"I am sorry I cannot Introduce you to
His Excellency, Ho Is very busy."
Mr. Salto was asked It tbe informa
tion was correct, which tho Bulletin
had received, that tho Japaneso Gov
ernment was going to stop all labor
emigration to tho Hawaiian Islands
excepting under certain guarantees of
protection bjr tho emigration compan
ies. He answered:
"The stopping of emigration wilt bo
only temporary. Japaneso labor here
Is unsettled, as you know, but when,
ever things nro settled here nil re
strictions will be removed from emi
gration to Hawaii."
WrtWW4WttftWK!Wf
tho foregoing statute. The Burling
hnmo treaty of 1868 betwene the United
States and China, which has since been
abrogated, although tho most liberal
treaty that China has ever had with
the United States, provided 'that noth
ing herein contained shall be held to
confer naturalization upon the subjects
of China in the United States.' It con
tains no clause entitling Chinese sub
jects to acquire land In the United
States."
"The last and moat liberal treaty1
between the United States and Japan,
signed on the 22d day of November, ,
1894, contains no provision enabling
Japanese to become naturalized citi
zens ot the United States In my opin
ion, It contains nothlng.whlch entitles
subjects of the Japanese Empire to ac
quire land In tho United States."
Here ho quotes two paragraphs of
tho Japanese treaty, and thus com
ments thereon:
It appears to mo that tho language
of theso two paragraphs securing the
right of Jnpanesc to do business in the
United States; to acquire, use and dls
poso of personal property, and to lenso
real estato for business and residential
purposes, together with tho omission
to provide for acquiring title to real
estate for other than commercial and
manufacturing purposes, plainly nega
tives an intention on tho part ot either
conrtactlng power to confer such privi
lege upon tho citizens or subjects of
tho other."
Water Complaint.
Commissioner J. F. Brown laid bo
fore the Governor a petition from
landholders In Kohala, complaining
that R. R. Hind was depriving them ot
water under a lease he had obtained In
1898, such water having been used by
them before th elease was granted.
Tho Commissioner was advised to
write to Mr. Hind about the matter.
