These items would naturally come un der several committees, and to look aft er them will take much time within the next few days should Wilcox come to town. If he does not. It will remain for the members of Congress who are friendly to the Islands to take up the fight. One of the peculiar measures which have been Introduced in the Congress at this session is the bill which was prepared by Wilbur F. Crafts, secre tary of the Reform Bureau here. Crafts feels called upon to reform the world and gets Into everything which has an opening for an ambitious man looking for openings into business which might be said to be other people's. His bill found as sponsor in the House, Little field of Maine and In the Senate was presented by Lodge of Massachusetts. The bill must be seen to be appreciated and may be best introduced by this resolution, which emanated from Mr. Lodge: Resolved. That in the opinion of this body the time has come whea the prin ciple, twice affirmed In international treaties for Central Africa, that native races should be protected against the destructive traffic in intoxicants should be extended to all uncivilized peoples by the enactment of such laws and the making of such treaties as will effectu ally prohibit the sale to aboriginal tribes and uncivilized races of fire arms, opium, and intoxicating beverages. The bill is entitled, A Bill to Prohibit the Sale of Firearms, Opium and In toxicants to Aboriginal Tribes and Na tive Races in the Pacific Islands, and follows: Be It enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem bled. That If any American citizen sells, gives or otherwise supplies to any abo riginal native of any island In the Pa cific Ocean any ,wlne, spirits, or any other Intoxicating liquor, he shall, on conviction thereof, be liable to a penal ty not exceeding fifty dollars, and in default of payment shall be liable to imprisonment for a period not exceed ing one month; and for any offense sub sequent to the first conviction the of fender shall be liable to a doubled fine of one hundred dollars, with Imprison ment for pot less, than one month nor more than eleven months. Sec. 2. That commanders of all naval vessels and revenue cutters are hereby appointed justices of the peace for the trial of such cases whenever permanent courts can not conveniently be availed of. . . Sec. 3. That If it shall appear to the court that such wine or spirits have been given bona fide for medical pur poses it shall be lawful for the court to dismiss the charge. Llttlefield says that he did not mean to reach Hawallans, but the bill must be amended.. As it stands, it would make It Impossible for Col. Parker or Prince David when they next come to ments . to foreign services. Chamber lain has been-in the Treasury service for many years and was an applicant for the place when it was created. He was when named in the Customs de partment in Cuba and his transfer will take place at once. .Mr. Chamberlain Is one of the most thorough men in the service and will be an addition to offi cial corps. He Is an Iowan of many years and his home now Is at Clarinda, Page county. to the sugar industry, he recommends that the station to be established by this Department give its attention to other agricultural Interests. Among the subjects which require special attention are the culture of fruits and vegetables, coffee growing, stock raising, dairying, irrigation, forestry, and ' diseases of plants. . WASHINGTON, D.y C, Dec. 7. Among the new legislation which will be enacted by the present Congress is outlining of the plan for public im provements by the Federal Government in the Hawaiian Islands. Of the many appropriations asked none will be more important than that providing for the establishment of a Naval station. The estimates submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury include an appropria tion of $200,000 for that purpose. The House Committee on Naval Af fairs today completed its organization. which was broken Up by the illness of Congressman Boutelle of Maine, who for many years was its head. Congress man Foss of Illinois, one of the rising young, members, was chosen chairman. Mr. Foss has been one of the consist ent friends of all Hawaiian measures and there is no danger that whatever is needed for the Naval station, which certainly will be established, will meet with opposition in the committee. One of the most prominent members of the Naval Committee is Henry C. Louden slager of New Jersey, who will be re membered as one of the members of the party of legislators who visited Ha waii four years ago. Mr. Loudenslager has followed the course of legislation very closely and expresses great grati fication at the success which has at tended the plans of the friends of the Islands. While he would not discuss the plans of his committee, he said to day that there was not a member of the committee who in his opinion would oppose any appropriation needed for the establishment at Honolulu of a Na vai Biauon sucn as nas peen recom mended by the Navy Department. On the contrary, he said the most friendly reeling was evident in the committee toward Hawaii and the prospects that tne appropriation would be Inserted In the Navy bill. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 7. The Secretary of Agriculture in his annual report to Congress has much of Inter est on the general subjects of the suc cessful Introduction of new things agri cultural but Indicates that he wants more money for the successful work In Hawaii. He lays stress upon the intro duction into the Islands of general farming and diversification of prod ucts. There is now in press a work on the irrigation systems of the Islands of the group.

Funds to supplement the British Gov ernment grant of 45,000 towards the expense of the proposed South Pole ex pedition seem very hard to get (writes our London corresnondpnn. Man v months ago the sum required was short by 30,000. The whole of this amount is, up to the present, still lacking. It is a comparatively trlfiine deficiency of course, and will no doubt be obtained easily enough after a further effort by Sir Clements Markham; but its having remained so long unsupplied shows once more how difficult it is to create "uj""b enmusiasm among our practical British folk for a scientific and more or less uncertain enterprise.
