James J, Byrne vs. P. J. Vocller.
The editorial In the Aihertlser re
fleeting on the Integrity of the Chinese
Registration about to-close under.' the
direction of Roy II. Chamberlain, Col
lector ot Internal Revenue, assisted by
Special Agent John -A. McCabe, was
shown to each of these gentlemen this
morning with a request that tbey ex
pi ess their views upon It.
' John A. McCabe said:. "The on
slaught Is uncalled for. I lay It to the
disposition of, tbat paper to cater to
the local prejudice which seems to
exist against all Federal officials. There
.seems to bo a disposition on the part
of that paper to cast reflections on
Tcderal authority on very slight pro
tuue. "As to the possibility of frauds In
the Bureau ot Chlnnic Registration,
Mich a thing is preposterous," con
tinued Mr, McCabe. "We have had a
separate checking division, the work
of which has been solely to guaif'.
against repeaters and I do not bellce
a duplicate certificate, has been Issued
in a single case. We have been sur
prised In this office as much as any one
with the high totals of the reglstra
Hon. We figured at the outset on not
more than 22.000 at the highest"
Collector Chamberlain said: "I have
no reply to make to such attacks. All
I have to say lsthat we found the
Chine." ..
When asked to explain his own view
'of the discrepancy' of d.OOO between the
estimates and the results, Mr. Cham
berlain said that the 22,000 estimate
was based on the Hawaiian census ot
IMG. In table IV bfitUat ccnsun re
, port the number ot Chinese In the
Hawaiian Islands was "given at 21,010
-both foreign and Hawaiian 'born. Mr.
Chamberlain said ho knew nothing
about the Inducements that might havA
existed to make It desirable for Chi
nose to evade the census enumerator,
but he would be willing to1 bet his hat
that not fifty Chinese would be left
unregistered in tho Islands when the
books close tonight. He said that In
addition to tho systematic and pains
taking diligence of the department,
outside assistance had been rendered
which greatly i Increased the efficiency
of the registration. The Sugar Plan
ters' Committee, npnolnted for the
purpose, had rendered valuable assist
ance, Mr. Cooke .sent circular letters
to nil the managers of plantations
throughout tho Islands requesting them
to extend every facility to the depu
ties. This assistance was given, not
only with respect to tu? Chinese upon
plantations but to.all who lived In the
locality or district,
"The number of Chinese has overrun
our expectations on every island." said
Mr. Chamberlain, i "The excess has
not sbqwn up in any one locality.
Every deputy to outside districts made
nn estimate when he first began; his,
work and In each case, without ex
ception, the number of Chinese ex
ceeded tho estimates."'
The registration has been conducted
ivlth n iew to extending the benefits
of the privilege to every person en
titled to It. Children of mixed blood,
with Chinese parentage on either side
have been reglstered'and the number In
this class is quite latge Tho census
of U9C gives a total off 8185 under the
head "part Hawaiian." It Is more than
probable that a good percentage ot the
1000 excess comes from this source.

Committee on Public Education, Fol
lowing Is'thc report:

der the heading ot C6mmls!on ot
Public Instruction, entitled "Pay 'Roll.
Support of School!,' ' $600,000," Vour
Committee on Public Education; beg
leave to present the' following Itemized
list of teachers in the employ of tho
Board of Education and the salaries re
ceived by each of them, per nnnum.
which shows how'thls amount' Is made
up. But owing to the Irregularities of
the apportioning ot the salaries among
the teachers of apparently the same
grade and the. appointing ot assistants
in the various schools without regard
to the number of pupils, as your com
mittee find It on' further Inquiries,
your committee cannot but recommend
that these different salaries be con
sidered beforo this sum is passed or
amended. , i '

tho other two gentlemen wercjln favor
of whitewashing the whole concern,
but we finally made n thorough In

parent discrepancy tn pay It due to the
length of service. I know of one
teacher who was drawing $35 a month
In '93. Now she Is drawing $100 a
month. I think, gentlemen, that the
best plan Is to let well, enough alono,"
"Notwithstanding the remarks of the
last speaker," Mossman replied, "I, still
claim that the old conditions aro still
existing. Tnke for Instance the case
of Miss Urlckwood. She began teach
ing in 1883 and drew $40 month. She
continued to draw that pay-untll after
the last election when she was sudden
ly raUed to $100 a month. I tell you
It Is the Republican policy to draw the
color line. The whites are doing It
and not the natives, as alleged by
some."
A recess cut oft further debate.
Upon reconvening, Kawalhoa Intio
dured the following resolution:
Whereas, there have been detained
passengers that were anxious to take
passage on the steamer Lehua for Mo

Whereas, nil appropriation of $5200

that the lepers are separated from the

HI., ex-Congressman and now presi
dent of, the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission, together with A. R.
Severn, the Chief Examiner of the
Commission. These two Federal offi
cers are here for the purpose ot In
augurating civil service In tho Islands.
They arc guests at the Hawaiian hotel
for the present. Mr. Rosenberg had
the following to say to a Bulletin re
porter when Interviewed this morning:
'Mr. Severn and I hava como here
for the purposo of classifying tho Fed
eial service in the Islands. There aro
fifteen places In the Apportioned De
partmental Service at Washington and
five places In the Government Printing
offices In the samo placo. Besides deal
ing, with applicants for these positions
wc will also attend to tho local ser
vice. Including the Custom House and
Post Office. In connection with tho
latter, we will hold what are known as
"clerk-carrier" examinations for tho
purpose of perfecting the free delivery
sjstem,
"As you probably know, there are
about forty Federal positions In the
Islands that will have to come under
civil service regulations. These posi
tions will have to be classified, and fol
lowing that preliminary formality ex
aminations for the various positions
wilt be held.
"To this end, four exnmlnlng boards
ot three men each, will be appointed.
The chief of these local boards will bo
the one stationed In Honolulu, this to
have general supervision over the other
boards. Undoubtedly, one of these will
be stationed In Hilo. The disposition
of the other two will be decided on
later. It Is possible that we may be
ablet o carry on tho work with a lesser
number than four.
"These examining boards will be per
manent Institutions. I am not pre
pared just now to stato when these
hoards will be established and when we
will begin our work. It will be neces
sary for us to consult with the head
officials of the Custom House, and Post
Office before starting in. We may start
tn tomorrow. We expect to leave for
Washington In the steamer tbat sails
from Honolulu on July 9th."
