That the Supreme Court of Hawaii be the court of last resort of all matters within its jurisdiction. 2. That a Federal Court be established with the same jurisdiction as that exer ciser! by federal Courts in the scvpr.il States, and with appeal to the Higher United States Courts in accordance with law. That the present system of a mirelv appellate Supreme Court with Circuit Judges for the various circuits and dis trict -Magistrates be preserved. 4. That the Judges of Courts of record be appointed by the Governor of HawaM by and with the advice and consent of the majority of the Senate of Hawaii. 5 That the term of the Justices of the Supreme Court he eight years, that of the Ciicuit Court six years, and District -Magistrates two years. I. That the distinction between Common Uaw and Fquity Procedure be preserved. 7. That the present system of committal of persons charged with crime, by Dis trict -Magistrates instead of presentment by grand jury be continued so far as of fences against local laws are concerned. S. That the present system of jurv trial be continued under which a verdict in both c ivil and criminal cases mav be rend ered by nine out of twelve jurors. !'. That the present system of requiring juries composed of native Hawaiians to try cases in which native Hawaiians are concerned, and of foreign juries to trv foreigners, be abolished. Mr. Thurston said his ideas were in the line of exclusive and final jurisdiction in the courts here, except in cases involving Federal matters or questions of Consti tutionality, which would necessarily go to the United States courts for adjudica tion. Judge J. 15. Farly, of Arizona, explained the details of court systems of his terri tory. The courts there were not satis factory. In New Mexico ami Oklahoma the condition was the same. The speaker recommended that the Commission be asked for an independent appellate court; also that Circuit judges be elected. Mr. Neumann understood it to be the sentiment of the Par that the judiciary system of Hawaii continue as a part of a State g-overnment. He wanted to see the Hawaiian system preserved, with the Federal system applyin.tr in the regular line as in the States. Personally, too, lie opposed limiting the tenure of judges of the Supreme Court. Appointments should be for life, or during good be havior. Mr. Silliman remarked that the tend ency in the United States was to discour age any move on the part of Hawaii to ward Statehood. He thought stress should be laid upon the matter of contin uing the present judiciary, drawing no comparisons between it and the institu tions of other Territories or States. Mr. Smith urged that the system of committal of persons charged with crime by District Magistrates m place of the grand jury system be continued. Mr. Vivas moved to refer the whole matter to a committee of three, to con sider the resolutions and report at o'clock Saturday morning. Carried. The chairman appointed F. M. Hatch. Paul Neumann and S. M. Palloii en the committee. The Commission. The American-Hawaiian Ce.rnmis- .-'ion had another very long silting yrs- trrday.

Henry Smith, chief clerk of the Su preme Court, returned by the Austral ia yesterday from Philadelphia, where he went for treatment to his ears. The operation was not successful. The left ear was benefitted, but the right, which had always been good, was de ranged by the operation. It was the opinion of the Philadelphia specialist. however, that the trouble with the right ear was of a temporary nature and that hearing in that side would ikely he soon recovered. Mr. Smith has to use a trumpet at times now. While abroad Mr. Smith visited a number of big cities, including New York and Washington.

True, he maintains that Col. Henry's forgery docs not affect the proofs of Dreyfus' treason, but his speech in the Chamber of Deputies, which was rapturously applauded and placarded throughout France, in which he pro claimed his possession of proofs of trea son, was based on Henry's forgery. What Henry's motives were can only be uessed, yet his own explanation is be lieved to have been that, being sure of Dreyfus' guilt and determined not to pub lish secret documents that figured at the trial, he invented his forged letter to cut hort tlie agitation for the revision of Dreyfus' sentence of life imprisonment.
