not questioned. "Our duty to pay at
least in part for that property," added
Governor Powers, "we can not in jus
tice deny, and a great country like
ours should not seek to avoid." He de
clared that the destruction of property
was done under the direction of a com
mission having the matter in charge
and representing the sovereign power
of this country.
Mr. Sulzer of New York, for whom
Mr. Haywood had secured an allowance
of time, sailed in vigorously in behalf
of the amendment. If the plague had
not been stamped out in Hawaii at a
cost of a million or two it might have
come to this country and cost several
thousands of lives and several millions
of dollars. .
Mr. Hill of Connecticut also spoke for
the amendment, telling how the Gov
ernment had paid $750,000 for the relief
of the Porto Ricans from the ravagqp
of a hurricane; $200,000 as a matter of
charity for the sufferers at Martinique,
and it seemed to him that the least the
Government could do was to divide the
expense with the Territory of Hawaii
for the property destroyed by fire dur
ing the prevalence of bubonic plague.
"Uncle Joe" Ciannon had the closing
argument. He dwelt upon the provis
ion that not more than 10 per cent of
the claim should be paid to attorneys,
so that $900,000 only would go to tne
people jof Hawaii who had sustained
losses by the fire. Mr. Mondell inter
rupted him to' say that the evidence
before the Senate committee showed
that many of the claimants did not un
derstand the Kngiish language and had
to have attorneys, who would receive
for their work on an average from four
to five per cent.
"This legislation is a gift," add-.l Mr.
Cannon. "It is fastened on to this bill
with a grip of steel and it wants this
bill to pull it through." Mr. Cannon in
sisted that the matter belonged of
right to the Committee on Territories
of the House.
"Does not the gentleman know," in
terposed Mr. 3Iondell, "that the Ha
waiian people have been asking their
Delegate before this Congress to take
this matter up ever since Congress met
last fall, and that he did introduce a
bill, and that it is not the fault of the
Hawailans themselves that it was not
taken up by the committee?"
Mr. Cannon then launched into a hu
morous characterization of the bill, in
sisting that it was not born the right
way. "The House is asked," he ex
claimed, "to adopt this illegitimate
child."
"I would like to ask what part the
attorneys have taken in this proposi
tion that would entitle them to lO per
cent." inquired Mr. Coombs of Califor
nia. "The people interested in the claim
and God know; I do not." responded
Mr. Cannon, who added that there were
not 50 persons in the House who. knew
anything about the bill. Then Mr.
Cannon began to tell about the rich
sugar plantations in the islands, and
how we removed the duty of from IV2
to 2 cents a pound on sugar some years
ogo for the benefit of the Hawaiian
peonle. "During 30 years," said he,
"we practically paid a bounty of two
cents a pound on Hawaiian sugar,
amounting in round numbers to $100,
GOO.f'OO. She prospered. Great planta
tions grew up there, such as I have
never seen anywhere else. I am not
thoroughly familiar with sugar planta
tions, but I was down there once. Great
fortunes have been piled up there;
great plantations exist there now."
Then Mr. Cannon told how, after an
nexation in 1S9S, Congress agreed to
pay every dollar of Hawaiian indebt
edness and also to pay the Hawaiian
postal savings bank indebtedness. Mr.
Cannon insisted that it was just as
much the duty of Hawaii to pay for the
losses ensuing on the plague as it was
for Arizona to bear the loss from an
epidemic of smallpox or for other
communities to pay for whatever in
convenience there might be from the
chicken pox. the measles, whooping
cough and diphtheria.
"Now, is there anything from a char
itable standpoint that should make
Uncle Sam give a million dollars to this
dusky daughter? She does not begin
to be as poor as New Mexico or Ari
zona, is. She has no debt at all, and
Arizona and New Mexico and the mu
nicipalities have much debt. If we are
going into the giving business for our
Territories, let us have a fair divide.
If it is fair to pay a million dollars to
the Territory of Hawaii, it is fair to
give a million and a half, the total
amount. of property destroyed. Legal
ly, we are not bound; equitably and
morally we are not bound. We are not
bound from any standpoint of public
policy."
Thereupon the vote was taken, as al
ready stated, and the result was unfa
vorable to the amendment, which went
out subsequently in a conference on the
bill.
The Senate shortly before the ad
journment of Congress adopted a reso
lution authorizing the visit of a sub
committee of the Senate Committee on
the Pacific Islands and Porto Kico to
visit Hawaii during the summer. The
resolution authorizing this was much
modified from the original resolution
presented by Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon. After being adopted by the Sen
ate Committee on the Pacific Islands
and Porto Kico, it was passed upon
favorably by the Senate Committee on
control of contingent expenses. The
resolution as it passed reads as fol
'ows: Kesolved. That the Committee on Pa
cific Islands and Porto Itico be. and is
hereby authorized and directed to in
vestigate the general condition of the
islands of Hawaii and the administra
tion of the affairs thereof, and for the
liurposes aforesaid said committee, or
;l subcommittee thereof, appointed by
theyhairnian, shall have power to send
for persons and papers, to visit the isl
ands, to administer oaths, to sit during
the recess of Congress, and said com-miitc-e
shall report at the beginning of
the next session of Congress the result
of its Investigations: the expenses of
said investigation to be paid out of the
contingent fund of the Senate.
Senator Foraker has designated the
following subcommittee to visit the isl
ands during the summer: Senator
Mitchell of Oregon. Senator Foster of
Washington, Senator Hurton, Kansas.
Republicans: and Senator Cockrell of
Missouri and Senator Blackburn of
Kentucky, Democrats. They met at
th ;-apitol at 2 o'clock this afternoon
and talked over the plans for their trip
ni otht-r matters.

Delegate "Wilcox never filed his peti

of the Committee on Territories were
not heeded, that the document be laid
