Col. W, II. Cornwell, who as a guest
of Jolin D. Spreckels, mad a trip to
the Colonics In the Ventura, returned
In thit, vessel this morning.
Speaking of the trip to Australia,
Colonel Cornwell said he was mora
than pleased with the Journey.
TThe only thing I didn't like about
Australia," said tbe Colonel, "Is that
tbe country is ruled by the laborlngf,n"' u-- A- under the Wle of the
class. Employers-are the servants of "dispensary system:" In Sweden under
their employes. The laboring man Is
supreme. In Sydney because they
wanted to have a holiday, the steamer
bad to pay(the stevedores $1.25 an hour
to shovel coal. They would not work
tinlesB so paid.
"Auckland Is way behind In tho mat
ter of convenience. They are not as
up to date there In many things as wn
aro In Honolulu. In Sydney I saw
some fine racing. From what I saw of
the turf tracks at Ilosehlll.l am very
much Impressed with them. The turf
is not as fast as our hard tracks but It
Is fine. There' the races last many
days and at ea'ch meet tbcre are several
thousand spectators.
"At Pago Pago. Mr. Spreckels" party
was royally received by the principal
thief who had 'a big luau and dance ar
ranged for hlmand Mr. SpreckeU was
made a great deal of. Tho natives of
Tutulla are magnificent specimens, and
In. many ways are like our Hawaiian!.

Sixth the Supreme Court
of the
. state of South Carolina has rendered
ft majority decision that the dispensary
law, as existing In that State, is un
constitutional. This was afterwards
reversed by a change in the personnel
of tbe bench. Tho United States Su
preme Court has declared that these
provisions of the South Carolina dis
pensary .law which forbid citizens of
the State to Import liquors for their
own us ar In contravention of the In
terstate commerce clause of tbe United
States Constitution, nmf therefore In

thought, be liable to ubusc. as It would
be Impracticable to watch the disposal (
of the entire product, which vvouy
emanate from no definite source. Tho 1
limiting of the percentage of profit
would reduce prices below their present
standard, and might therefore be ex
pected to Increnso the consumption.

his ability as a presiding officer. Ho
Wns f.llr In ll In ilwlfilnna nml ulmn nnv
rulings were made by blm, he snld
what he tltought so that thero was no
misunderstanding. When there was no
necessity of putting such motions as
referring matters to commutes, he
did not call for a vote but simply said:
"If there is no objection, It Is so or
dered." As will be seen by tho report
below, the work was carried on In a
more orderly manner and with greater
dispatch than at any time during tht
session. v
The first thing dono nt this morn

said to a reporter for the llultetln:
"My,sole object In going to tho Colo- '
ales was to establish new agencies for
our steamship company. I have mad '
arrangements at Sydney for the firm
of IlurnH, Phillips & Co., to represent '.

The Ventura behaved splendidly on ths
trip. While not making a good tlm
as the Sonoma, the entire voyage was -t
without mlsbnp. Our best speed was
403 miles In one day. We were delay
ed ono day at Auckland, which makes '
us behind the schedule. All on board
seemed well satisfied with the Ventura.

At Pago Pago I was delighted with
