The Committee on Public Lands and
Internal Improvements reported con
cerning Petition No. 10, relative to cer
tain Improvements In Kewalo. The
committee found th. petitioners, them
selves largely responsible for the exist
ing circumstances. Under the existing
law the government could not better
the conditions In Kewalo, therefore ad
vising that the petition be tabled.
Kumalae stated that the report of
the committee was not correct. There
was a law by which the government
had to tnko possession of all private
roads which had been In public use for
five years. He also thought that rules
regulating the grades ot the different
roads should be made end enforced so
that the Kewalo should ceaso to be
disease breeding spot
Aylctt strongly supported Kumalae,
stating that building permits had been
Issued to build on land which the
Board ot Health now deemed unsani
tary. He said that something should
be done In regard to the stagnant wa
ters now standing In the streets.
Makalnal stated that under the exist
ing laws the government was helpless,
but that something besides complain
ing about the conditions of things
must be done. The petition, Makal
nal. said, prayed that the laws might
be changed so that the government
might take possession of the roads.
Gllflllan moved that the committee
report be referred to the Judiciary
Committee to formulate a law. Km
meluth objected to tho Public Improve
ment Committee getting off so easy.
and seconded Dickey's motion to re
fer the report back to the Public Im
provement Committee with Instruc
tions to formulate the necessary bill.
After considerable dlxcusston tho re
port was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee. A message from the Senate i was re
ceived, rejntlvo to Senate bill 6. dealing
with forest roads, and Senate bill 39,
relating to the abolition of rnpltal pun
ishment, transferring them to the

Sir: I beg to notify you of my ar
rival In Washington yesterday (New
Year's Day). I presented your letter
to the Secretary of the Interior this
morning expressing my deslro to fur
nish any Information In my power re
lating to Hawaiian land matters ns oc
casion might arise.
The Socretary assumes that I would
cooperate with our delegate In any such
matters and I shall at an early dato see
Mr. Wilcox with a view to learning
If possible what changes, or legislation
ho may be seeking In that direction.
Desiring to know tho present status
as to our land matters I waited upon
Mr. Vandovanters, Assistant Attorney
General for Interior Department ami
was gratified to know (wat you are
already Informed of) thnt final appro
val had been Riven to the transactions
July 7, 1898 to September 30, 1899, nnd
that Mr. Vandcvnnters opinion on tho
points raised by Mr. Ralrd In Honolulu,
had been given entirely in support of
our contention.
It Is not possible at this tlmo io ex
press any oplnlun as to what may come
up during the session, but1 tt will evi
dently be n crowded ono with small
time for consideration ot our local mat
ters. I met Mr. Haywood today and under

sent agreeable news lelatlve to the

I There Is a feeling of uncertainty here
as to tne yeaning and application of

words, "acquire and hold" mean tltlo
ln 'c or (lo they Include Interests as

question, as tho latter mn.in.Mi,
would result In the rapid reduction of

Snnford II. Dole, Esq.. Governor of the
Territory of Hawaii:
Slrj Since my first letter wriitn
shortly after my nrrlval hero, a bill of
which I think you havp liei.n inrm,
ed has been Introduced In tho Scnato
' 011 tho same. I think tho chnnct. of Its
passage Is slight, as tho session Is
pretty well advanced and tho nn-smir..
01 oilier work, ami precedence of nu
morons other bills will probably make
go over, hnvo had somu Intlmn,
tlons also that tho matter would not
Iu pressed. Whntovor tho disposition
of tho Introducer of tho bill, however.
1 nave, as tar as possible, urged on
such members ns I hnvo met tho In.
advisability of radical changes with
out study of the. conditions by somo
competent and disinterested person on
the ground, and this view seems to
commend ltBelf. I hnvo had nn Inter.
vtow of some length with Commission
er Herman of tho general land office.
pointing out to him somo of our pecu
liar situations and difficulties. I have
never thought thnt ho specially favor
ed our land system, but I do not think
that he would approve haphazard
change.
Senator Clark. Mr. Mondell, Cush-
man nnd others oppose nny radical
change nt this time, It Is, however,
tmo that there Is a feeling uven with
somo of our friends that there Is some,
Kinu ot unfairness In our system, al
though I have not been able to discuss
tho matter with them in such a way
as to find out whero tho unfairness
comes In. They no doubt get their
Impressions from misrepresentations
from Hawaii. It has not mi to thin
tlmo Boomed to mo ln tho Biiinlli.t i!n. I
greo likely that any amendment to ex
isting law would bo made, and any at
tempt on our part to get such amend
ments at this tlmo I bellovo very un.
wine. I belluvo no action Is about tho
Itout Bi,lthn n. ILL '!..... J 1. t. . '

on that Idea,
I called recently at tho Forest I)e
pnrtmonb, of tho Agricultural. Ilurcau
In hopes of meeting Mr, Plnchop and
learning when to expect somo expert
In Hawaii to assist In our problems.
Mr. Plnchop, howover, was not In, but
his assistant, who took much Interest
in tho matter, promised to nrrango
somo dato for nn Interview. I found
that no ono hnd yet started for Ha
waii, and It seemed rather uncurtain
when ho would do so. I shall, ns far!
ns possible, show our need of such as
sistance. Senators Cullom nnd 1 1 1 tt are not In

tion to Introduce an amendment to
Rule 77 of the Senate rules, relating to
tho punishment for disorderly conduct
of any member of the Sennte.

witnesses nnd Jurors. Postponed until
Tuesday on motion of Mr. J. Drown
who stated that he had nn amendment
which ho wished to introduce.
Tho consideration of Senate bill 36 In
third reading precipitated a very squal
ly squall. The bill refers to tho mat
ter of bailiffs In certain courts. After
dlscussloh on tho part of several of tho
members, tho chair called for the a)e
and noa on the passage of tho bill la
third reading.
At this point, Mr. Paris aroso to
speak and asked Mr. White for somo
reasons for tho passage of the bill. It
bad simply been recommended for pas
sage In n verbal report oy the chairman
of tho Judiciary Committee.
Mr. White answered that the reasons
were plainly set forth in the bill. Ho
then moved tho previous question nnd
this was quickly seconded.
The chair put the question of pre
vious question and Mr Paris objected
strenuously, saying that the floor was
his. Ho had simply asked a question
during the course of his remarks and
then sat down In order to allow Mr.
White to answsr.
The chair still maintained that tho
question of tho previous question wa
In order nnd that Mr. Peris, having sat
down, was out of order.
More quickly than It takes to tell,
Messrs. C. llrown, Aehi unit Carter
were on their feet pounding their desks
nnd all protesting against the action
ot tho chair,
-Mr, C. Drown said hi wanted to seo
fair play. The chair should hnve called
Mr. White out of order wheh he mndo
the motion for previous question.
The chair Btated thnt his rullnc bml
been ghen nnd an appeal could be tak-'
en. .Mr, O. Drown nsked whero was tho
uso In doing this. Tho minority would
not get Its rights.
Mr. Achl registered his olJectlon. II
stated that tho samp thing had com
up the other day and thnt the chair
had ruled Just the other way.
Mr. Carter said that the minority
might Just as well leave the Senat
chamber and never come back. Tho
chair was partisan nd would never
gWe tho minority its rights.
At about thnt tlm, all tho Senators
of the minority were on their feet
protesting. Senator Knnuha" moved to
take a recess until 1:30 o'clock. This
was quickly seconded by Mr. Rnldwln
and carried. Tlmo 11-40 o'clock.
