If yom cocacl"ii.:o will not allow the distribution of poison, ni another method equally effective Hut Kill the rats. The Urltish War Olflce announces that Duller will not be hoard from again till ho reaches Lndyamlth. Judging from past history the public will have time to forget Duller. Special Agent Hartveil report! on none of the Important subject on which answers arc (Uslreii from the FVdcral authorities. This li probably .mother evidence of llartwell's po erftil Influence in Washington California has elected to the I nltcd States Senate a man who was born In Pennsylvania.

Tue energy with wMrh Nicaiagua canal legislation Is being forced ahead should suggest to Honolulu the neces sity of building for the lut'ire on broad lines. Opening the canal means more to Honolulu than lo any olVr nmt of the I'uclflc. A few days respite from the. plague has given Maul new confidence. This ifl all right If It does not lead to care lessness. Tho history of the past In Honolulu Is such as to warrant Maul Wtizens In renewing tho vigor of their effort during the first lull In the ex citement. One day the government organ an nounces that Col. Little has received the well recognized honor of thirty third degree Masonry. Tho next daj the organ states that l.lttlu Ih a spite ful, unsophisticated "IT." In other words anyone who attempts to olco the sentiment of tho people of Hllo is, in the estimation of our local ofll .lalH. "Nit." The views expresied by Hc.i Arthur Sowall lelatlve to con ilt'ons In Ha waii aro of special value it this time when sensational repirs ar brlriA sent broadcast through the States Arthur Scwall's statements carry weight with business men of tho Unit ed States whoso favor tlilu coivMilf-i-i-tlon Is an Important factor lu thv fu ture of these Islands. KILL THE RATS. Volunteers for the campaign against tho rats should Include every house holder and business man of the city. Soino objections havo been mado to tho system of rat poisoning proposed by tho Citizens' Committee, but this ought not to prevent tho good work of de stroying rnts going on at the date named by tho men in charge. If any householder believes that he can kill more rnts, with less danger to himself and tho community, by bomo other method than that propofed by the Committee, hu Is fieo to go ahead Tho object of tho campaign Is to kill rain, not to waste time discussing the best methods of dealing out tho ro dent death rate. Tho success of tho effort depends largely on the degreo of cooperation from ovory portion of tho city. Any method which might drivo tho carriers of tho pest from ono place to another la worse than useless. The plan of the Committee may not bo the best on earth, but it Is the best thus far bi ought to notice. Tho critics havo proposed nothing better, and if any considerable- benefit Is to bo derived from rat extinction, tho measures must hu carried out by an Immediate and concerted attack all nlong tun line. It Is to ho hoped that no citizen will act Indifferently, thereby lessening tho effectiveness of work of paramount im portance to tho futuro safety of the community. NO GAG LAW IN WASHINGTON. It Is interesting to noto tho out burst of local government wrath oc casioned by tho disposition of Con gressional committees to listen to tho arguments of anyone outsido tho lo cally preferred circle of officials. Our local salntfl of the earth, who run thlnj?n now, fall to appreciate, that tho situation is vastly changed In Washington &o far as Hawaii was con cerned. In the days of Hawaiian Inde pendence the "government" and diplo matic representatives controlled the situation nt Washington. With Ha waii part and parcel of the United States, this advantage of official con trol Is lost. Our oillclal circle has now tho samo right to declare a citizen of Hawaii unworthy of a hearing at Washington as the representatives of the Trusts have to question tho right of tho labor lobby io bo heard. Any and every citizen of the United States, whether from Hawaii or Florida, na turalized or native born, has the right to a hearing before any and every Con gressional committee. The commit tees anil Washington officials pass Judgment on the credentials which tho citizen holds That authority Is not possessed In Hnwnll as In years gono by. The fact that Hawaii's government In the past has been ono -of minority rule should not lead the ruling oillclal circle to believe that this Is to be continued under American administra tion. Congressional effort is centered on giving Hawaii a government that ' shall bo acceptable to the people. The misfortune Is that there aro not more citizens of Hawaii ready to tako the trouble to personally present their views on the local situation beforo the Congressional committees. That the ruling action gets angry because these committees do not apply the gag iitle Is a fair demonstration of how our local saints would handle tho people If given a free hand. PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT Washington, Feb. 2. Tho President today transmitted to Congress tho ilrst volume of the report of the Phlllpplue Commission. It Is n volume cf -fit pages, Including the appendix, and Is signed by Professor Schurmnnn, Ad miral Dewey, Colonel Denby and Pro fessor Worcester. Tho principal sub ject dealth with is the plan of the Gov ernment proposed by the Commission, which Includes n discussion of the Spanish Government existing prior to tho war, the various reforms dcslrod by tho Filipinos and tho constitutions proposed by them, trgcthcr with the conclusions and plan suggested by the commission. Tho report also covers many other matters connected with the social ad ministration of tho island, racial char acteristics, education, secular and re ligious orders; tho Chinese In tho Isl nnds; public health; currency, etc., as well as tho condition and needs of the United States In tho Philippines from a na.'al and nviritlmi standpoint. The second luino of tin if-,i.)rt, which will not ho leady for sovetnl weeks, will contain a detailed descrip tion of the cllmv.o and natural ie- sources of tho Islands. Tho chief Interest In tho report nat urally centers In tho plan of govern ment proposed by tho Commission. Tho Commission announces Itself un qualifiedly In favor of a government of the Philippines analogous to thnt of a Territory of the united States, with a Governor appointed by the President. They say It Is deslrablo that tho In habitants of tho archipelago should enjoy a large measure of homo rule In local affairs, their towns to enjoy sub stantially tho rights and privileges of towns In a Territory. Tho piovlnees should be ested with substantially the bame functions of a county In n 'territory; this system might bo applied to Luzon and the Vls- cayan Islands at once, and n begin ning might bo mado on the coast of Mindanao. Tho Sulu archipelago call ing for special arrangements with the Sultan, tho Commission says need not be considered In this collection. Tho Filipinos could manage their own town and county affairs through their own officers, whom thoy could elect with no help from American offi cials except such as would bo Involved lu contiol from tho central Govern ment nt Manila. The suffrago should be restricted by educational or prop erty qualifications, or both. This sys tem would necessitate n small body of American officials of great ability and Integrity and of patience and tact In dealing with other races, and on this account tho commission recommends that they should bo paid high salaries. TltUST RUPlNDRiriS CONTINUU New York, Feb. 7. President Have meyer of tho American Sugar Rcllnlng Company, was questioned regarding reports that tho leading refineries of tho company had been closed down ob a result of loss of business, particu larly because tho loss of largo confec tionery and condensed milk contracts. "Tho reports aro totally untrue," said Mr. Hnvcmcycr. "Wo hnvo lost no business and wo do not Intend to lose any. "Tho only refineries that hnvo been closed down aro tho Spreckels Refinery In Philadelphia and tho Jersey City Ro flnery. Theso havo closed down to tako account of stock and to clean up. This Is usual nt tho end of tho year, but tho demand during tho holidays and continuing through January was so unusual that tho closing was defer red until now. Tho refineries will ro sumo on Saturday. Tho Hoston refin ery may nlso closo for a day or two, but tho Williamsburg refinery will not bo closed." Tho effect on tho stock market of tho reports referred to was a decline of about 5 points on Sugar Trust stock.
