Washington. Dec. 27.It Is expected that Governor Dole of Hawaii
will mako a recommendation to tho Hawaiian" legislature, which
meets in February, for the settlement of the claims of Chinese and
Japanese growing out of the desrtuctlo nof tfielr property at Honolulu
at tho time of tho bubonic plaguo outbreak. It appears that tho Chi
nese claims arc less than"1 was at first estimated, and that the total of
the Japanese and Chinese claims Is approximately $1,800,00.
Tho Chinese Government has not been In a,' condition of late to exert
pressure In behalf of the claims of Its citizens, but the Jnpaneso au
thorities have been actively lookliu out for the losses sustained by
their countrymcBr.nnil. now seem to bo In a'falr wny of securing par
tial remuneration. Governor Dole suggested a short time ago that
tho matter be referred to tho Hawaiian Legislature, nnd this was an-
proved by the officials here us tho best means of adjustment. It Is
f probable, however, that Govcrno- Dole's recommendation will be con-
slderably below the face value of the claims, There appears to bo
little doubt that the Legislature will authorize n settlement.

MAJORITY AND MINORITY
REPORTS OF COMMITTEE
Charter Meeting of Republicans Last
Night-Consideration Defer
red Until Next
Tuesday.
At the beginning of the meeting of
tho Commltteo of Thirty of the Re
publican party last night, tho sub-corn-mltec
on charter handed in two reports
on tho question of boundaries of thu
puroposed city, Tho majority report,
signed by three of the five members
Messrs. J. G. Pratt. T. McCants Stew
art nnd A. V. Gear Included the whole
Island In tho municipality proposed for
tho city of Honolulu. Tho report was
an follows: , ,
Your committee appointed to prcpa're
a charter for tho muhtclpal government
of Honolulu, and to establish tho boun
dary lines thereof, begieayeta submit
the Jollqwlng:
Th ecomlmttec, beforo proceeding
with tho drafting of the charter, deem
cd It necessary, first, to fix the boun
daries of the Territory to be Included
within tho municipality. Two plans
have been proposed, each of which tb.t
committee has given careful consider-
stlon. One plan proposes the setting
part of that portion of the Island of
Oahu, now Included within the District
of Konn, being practically tho present
City of Honolulu, as n munlplcallty
separate and distinct from the other
districts of the Island, tho same' to bn
known under the name and style of tho
City of Honolulu, a'nd providing a mu
nicipal' charter for Its government,
with a Mayor as Chief Executive, who,
together with tho members to bo elect
ed from the precincts or wards of tho
city, as Councllme. shall constitute
the City Council, and have powers ot
government over tho same, thereby
taking out of the control of the Terri
torial government tho administration
of local affairs of this district, leaving
the other remaining districts of the Isl
and under the control of the Territorial
government, as at present.
The other plan, and that which tho
committee begs leaves to recommend
for your adoption, proposes the set
ting apart ofjill of the Isjand of Oahn,
reserving and excepting tho property
required by the United States and Ter
ritorial Governments, and providing
the samo with a municipal form of
government, not only taking in tho
Dlsrtict of Kona, but the other four
remaining districts of tho Island, th
samo to be known as and by Ine name
of the City and County of Honolulu
having also, as Chief Executive n Ma
yor, who, together with the persons to
be chosen as Councllmen from tho sev
eral districts, wards and precincts
thereof, shall constitute the leglsJoUvt,
body of the municipality, so' forming n
representative government; and shall
hnvo tho power to rnako all such laws,
rules, regulations 'and ordinances hi
are necessary and not In conflict with
tho Organic Acta of the Territory, or
with tho laws ot the United States.
In this connection, It Is proposed,
further to adopt, as nearly as possible,
tho present Territorial laws, rules and
regulations of tho municipality, there,
by continuing In force tho present woll.
organized machinery of government.
Tho committee, after carefully
weighing all of the arguments present
ed, nro moved to recommend tho crea
tion nnd organization of a municipal
nnd county government for tho Island
ot Oahu, In tho manner above pre
viously outlined, for tho following rea
sons: First In our Judgment the munici
pal affairs ot government can be moro
economically administered 'upon with
n municipality taking In all of tho dis
tricts of the Island, and hnvlng ono
form 'of government therefor, rathir
than taking In tho most populous dis
trict and administrating Its affairs
alone; for tho reason that tho other
' ' . '

Claims
.
remaining districts would .still bo re
quired to be governed by the Territor
ial ofilvers, and the taxpayers of tho
Dlttrlct of Kona would be required t)
contribute towards the maintenance
thereof.
Again, the several districts Into
which the 'inland Is' now divided are so
closcly.sind Intimately related, one with
the otner, that It Is possible for each
to share to n considerable extent In
tho benefits, development nnd Im
provements made In ono locality, or In
any one district: and, whllo It is true
that the mere populous district, will
by reason of the density of population
require many things In the wny of
public Improvement nnd public utility
that can not be furnished to the outly
Ing districts, yet, nevertheless, thoio
residing within the district so bene
flted and enjoying these addltlonul
benefits will have to pay taxes upon
higher valuations of property than
will havo to be paid by those living at
moro remote districts. The burden of
taxation, as a rule. Is not determined
by the 'area, or size of character of
property, or tho amount levied as an
assessment, but rather by the valua
tion placed upon the property.
Whllo' It may be urged that the Ter
ritorial form of government will havo
to be ronlntalnrd in any event, still It
appeanr.tothe.commltteethat.lujo far
as It is possible to take out of the con
trol of the Territorial Government th'j
municipal affairs, to that extent the ex
penses of the Territorial Government
will bo greatly reduced. While It may
bo said to be out of the province of
this charter committee to treat with
this view of the question, we feel that
It Is so Intimately connected with tho
subject properly under consideration
by the committee, as to afford the com
mittee reasonable grounds for touch
ing upon tho same. The Territorial
Government divested of tho control of
municipal affairs, and the samo belna
lodged In county and municipal organ
ization, as provided might be done In
tne organic Act, will to a very great
degree reduce the cost of maintaining
the Territorial Government.
Second Tho line of government, as
proposed by the committee, Is very
much after the character of American
Institutions, having Territorial organ
izations, except In this that It attempts
to do away with the necessity of two
sets of officers, as In the majority of
Instances each county organization1 has
its own officers, and each municipality
within the county Its own officers. Un
der tho plan proposed for the govern
ment of the Island of Oah'u, It Is In
tended to follow rather the county lino
of government for the control of nil
municipal affairs.
The committee In presenting this re
port respectfully asks that the charter
commission will' take the matter con
tained In this report as to the question
of boundaries into careful considera
tion, and tho matter of boundaries be
ing determined by tho commlslon, the
commlsHlon,the committee will then be
better prepared to enter upon the de
tails of drafting a charter of govern
ment. The minority report, presented by
W.'-O.'i Smith and eGorgeA. Davis
restricted tho boundaries to tne'
District of Kona. A vote on the re
ports was deferred until tho meeting on
Tuesday, this after discussion on tho
part of the members of the committee.

Gentlemen: The samplo of your
beer, which we received from you, hia
been examined nnd we beg to report
as follows: The beer does
not contain any chemicals, such as pre
servatives, nnd tho microscopical ex
aminations showed that It Is free from
organisms which might cause an after
fermentation. Considering tho compo
sition of the beer, wo have to say that
it Is distinguished by a low percentage
of alcohol, a high percentage of ex
tract, and by a large percentage of al
buminoids, as shown only by pure malt
beers. This, together with the pure
taste of the beer and Its very good
flavor and foam-making qualities, jus
tify us In stating that the beer repre
sents a very good beverage, of a high
ly nutritious character.

Tho American Embassay has not re

ty and has not reopened negotiations
with tho Foreign Office, tl does not
known whether tho convention ns
amended by the Senate will bo com
municated through Lord Paunccfoto
or through tho American Embassador
here, and It has not taken any meas
ures for ascertaining the attitude of the
Foreign Offlce.
It may safely be assumed that when
the Foreign Office Is consulted there
will be deliberate action. Tho period
tor ratification can he extended by Hie
two governments Indefinitely and nego
tiations over the amendments may not
be concluded for many months t
The Foreign Offlco can reject tho
amendments outright nnd In this way
kill th etrcaty, but thero Is no public
excitement hero over tho canal ques
tion nor any popular demand that Lord
Ijinsdowno shall rebuke and dlsclpllno
tho United States Government.
Tho Interests of Anglo-American
good feeling will bo promoted by tho
temporary withdrawal of tho wholo
subject from curent discussion, and' by
a painstaking, deliberate effort to as
certain by diplomatic means whether it
practical method of revision b'r read
justment of the amendments cannot bo
found which will receive the sanction
ot both, governments and also tho Sen
