New York, Jan. 7, 1 p. m. A
special to thevTribuno from Wnsh
iugton says: It ib expected that
the Hitt bill to provide a uoveru

which has been under considera

on Territories, will bo considored
by the full committee aud favor
ably reported to tho Houso oarly
next week. There will he a min

member.
Mr. Hitt today expressed the
lion or passago of tho inoi-ure.
lln also r'pinarked that he did not
think tho divergence between the
bill to bo lvpmted by the Houpo

Many of them are opposed t tho
l provision for a delofjuto to Congress
from Hawaii, ami aro strongly de
sirous of having incorporated in
the act a declaration that nothing
therein contained shall be con
sidered or takon to imply tho
future udmhsion of Iluwnii as a
state.
It is understood Senator Piatt
of Connecticut will offer an amend
ment to striko out of tho bill tho
section providing for a delegate in
Congress, and also ono embody
ing the declaration iu rogard to
ultimata statehood.
Othor provisious of tho meas
ure, which are found iu both the
Seuato and House bills, aro giv
ing some Senators and representa
tives grave uoucorn, not so much
is regards their application to
Hawaii ns on aecount of tho bear
ing thoy ilnay havo ou future legis-
latiou respecting othor insulnr
possessions of the United Statos.
Among tlieso is tho one which
places the trado and lolations be-
tween Hawaii and other 6tates
aud territories of tho Uuited
Statot on tho same footing asi
those botweon tho Statos. it is
urgod that while tho admission
freo of customs duties of the pro
ducts nnd mnuufuclures of Ha-
wnii lyonld b? of comparatively
insigumcant importance, tne nuo
admission of tho products aud
manufactures of tho Philippines
'would bo a vory difforout matter,
1 aud that the subject ought not to
bo foreclosed by tho settling of
such a precedent. Ou this ground,
litis argued that Cougrrss ought
I not to eunct tho provisions rofor-
I red to at least until after the full
est di?cuseiou aud most mature
consideration, and it jb therefore
not improbable that nn effort may
be made in tho Senato to po3tpono
tuo Hawaiian logislatiou until tho
'first session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress.
MI.VOIIITV UUPOIIT ON HAWAII.
"Washington, Decomber 2!), A
sharp contest will occur in the
House over tue legislation for the
government of Hawaii, as tbo urn-
ui &Lu.
jority and minority of tho Com
mitteo on Territories do not agree
as to tho form of a bill. Neither
do tho majority agree with the re
port of the Siuiito Committeo on
Foreign ltelatious, although tho
difference ore not such as to
causo great difficulty.
The minority report whs pre
pared by II. 13. Lergusoii, dele
gate from New Mexico, who is a
niotnbcr of tho sub-committee.

preme Court of tho Territory of
Hawaii judge of the momborship
of the House of tho Territorial
Legislature of Hawaii. We bo
hove that oach house should bo
the final judgoof tho qualifications
ot Us members.
Tbo innovation not ouly fails
to prcservo the
o constitutional im-
portanco of throo croat branches
of government -oxecutivo, logisla

grade tho court to tho levrl of po

It tends also to increase the al

"Wo nlso object to the property
Sualificatious for mombers of tho
onnte of the Legislature of Ha
waii. This disqualification also
extends to tho voters for membors
of that branch of the LegisUtnro.
This is an innovation recognizing
by law tbo right of wenlth to
govern, and is certainly n danger

threatened by tho two eroot power
