I "— Congress Will Have a Difficult ._ Task on Hand This Winter. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION The Plans Devised by the Commissioner ;, is One Which Will Cause Much Debate in Congress. The Money Qualification is Desired Because it Will Load to White Supremacy. Washington, Oct. 4.——It is becoming plain that it will be. no easy task for Congress next winter to provide a plan of government for the Hawaiian Isl- ands. The scheme devised by the com- missioners who have just returned, ac- cording to the reports received from San Erancisco, is one which will not get through the Senate withouta pro- longed debate. It exhibits more clearly than anything. has done up to date the marked change in our traditional the- ories and governmental principles in- volved in the new colonial departure. The Hawaiian Islands, it seems, in- sist upon a property qualification for the electors who will choose the mem- bers of the upper house of the Legisla- ture. According to the sentative draft of the bill, they place this money qual- ification at $1,000 assessed valuation, or $3,000 worth of property. It does not appear that the members of the Mor- gan commission have at all dissented from this programme. Nor is any one in doubt as to why the annexationists desire such a. money qualification. It is the quickest way to whote suprema- cy, and no one who has actively cham- pioned the anneXation of Hawai' could have seriously contemplated any-thing else. In one respect the problem is simpler there than in our own Southern States. The poor whites of the South are al- most as thirftless as the negroes, and hence the property qualification straight does not entirely meet the wishes of their leaders. The whites of Hawaii must bemore uniformly well to do, and'the colored races morevunl- formally thriftless,- than in the Gulf States. The proposal to make this group of islands a territory of the American Union cannot fail to occasion much de- bate. The territorial system is regard— ed as‘the anomaly, and only permissi- ble on the theory that its operation is to be but temporary. Idaho and VVyom- ing would not be in the Union to-day but for the feeling on the part of many good Senators that statehood was the natural political condition, and the territorial form of governmentbut a troublesome and unsatisfactory make- shift, .and hence, since we had Idaho and Wyoming, we might as’ well make states of them first as last. Suffering in Havana. Washington, Oct. é—A private letter from an American citizen, in close touch with the Cuban Military Com- mission in Havana, states that great suffering exists in Havana for lack of food. People are starving, some dying on the streets, and many others who are unable to go out and beg die in the, houses. There are a great number of this latter class. All the while this has gone on the authorities have refused to allow the Consul, with a. million rations on board to enter the Havana harbor. The American Commissioner did a great deal of hard work. to secure the en- trance of the vessel and finally got per- mission to land her suplies at Matan- zas. The Commission, the letter states, is now making efforts to secure the ad— mission of supplies sent by the Red Cross, so a portion of the suffering may be relieved. The Commission in this, as in everything else, find that they are dealing with procrastinating men who delay every move as loong as possible. No fault is found with the treat- ment which the Commissioners receive personally, the Spanish authorities be— ing very suave and polite, but in the matter of business plenty of time is taken. Yellow fever is said to exist in the city, but little fear is expressed by the writer’of the litter, who says it is not reported as dangerous.‘ To Walk Around the “for-Id. New York, Oct. 4.—Eight young men of this city and Brooklyn left No. 102 Fulton street at eleven o'clock yester- day morning to walk around theworld. Each had [plenty of money and car- ried a small pack on his back. When they left Fulton street the men went over to the City Hall and saw the Mayor, then took the Cortlandt \street ferry to Jersey City. From there they took the. plank walk to Newark. Rudolph De Zapp, who is the leader of the walkers, said he did notp ropose to go any further than Newark to- night. He said that after a. few weeks they would be able to cover twice the distance. From Newark they will go to Trenton, from there to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, where they wil call upon the President, and ex- change letters. The men intend to visit all the news- paper offices on their route in this and other countries and get an autograph from each. Mr. De Zapp expects the trip will take not less than three years. He said as they were not walking against time they would not hurry themselves. P's-ll into the Niagrn River. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 4.——Charles Wicks, a painter, who came here from Phisa- delphia, to work on the new steel arch- bridge at Niagara Falls, fell from a scaffold on the bridge Sunday, 150 feet to the river. His body did‘not come to the surface, some under current having swept it into the rapids before it could rise. Chicago’s Bu” Highwaymen, Chicago, Oct. 4.-—Otto Jacobson was held up and robbed of $400 on a. dowu- town street Sunday night by a. negro in the presence of several persons, who were awed by the flourishing of the robber’s revolver. '3 A.“ L...‘ If‘ I HAWAIIAUROBLEMS DELAGOA BAY RAILWAY. The Arbitrator’s Decision Expected Hourly. London, Oct. 4.—-The decision of the Swiss arbitrators in the matter of thl Delagoa Bay Railway has been pre- pared for some little time, and may be issued any day, possibly to-morrow. I understandthat the award to be paid by Portugal to the McMurdo con- cessionaries will certainly run into millions sterling, though one expert estimate, given pme to-day, of five .mil- lions sterling, probably is an exagger- ation. Upon this award great international events hang. Portugal cannot herself find the money. She must sell some- thing. Dr. Leyds’s present mission to Europe is largely'concerned with the Transvaal’s desire herself to' lend Portugal the necessary funds in return for the Del-agoa Bay Railway, for President Kruger realizes that herein is the key to the South African posi« tion, but Dr. Leyds’s rebuff at Berlin, last week, kills this project. : - England will, as foreshadowed in my dcspatch of September 6, herself pro-, vide Portugal with the money in re« turn for a long lease of the railway. The original idea of a joint Anglo-Ger- man guarantee seems to have been abandoned in favor of a solely British financial operation, Germany lending her moral support. Other features of the Anglo-German deal are not yet ripe for public offi- cial announcement. Among other events they await the Kaiser’s talk with the Sultan. COL. ROOSEVELT’S TAXES. No Judicial Action in the Matter. ment Has Been llIade. New York, Oct. 4.—-—The application in behalf of Theodore Roosevelt for a discontinuance of his certiorari pr0< ceeding against the Tax Commission- ers was not on the motion calendar of the Special Term, Part 1., of the Sn. preme Court, before Justice Srhyth yesterday. When the certiorari was called, before Justice Daly, in Special Term, Part 111., it was adjourned until October 11. A check for $995.28 was delivered to the Bureau for .the Collection of Taxes by the Title Guaranty and Trust Com- pany, acting in behalf of Col Roose~ velt. This is the firt day on which such a'payment could have been made, and the check was for the tax of $1,005. less a rebate of $972 for payment in ad- vance. Ray- War Inv litigation. 'V’Vashi-ngton, Oct. 4.-—The members of the War Investigating Commission, at yesterday‘s session, took the position that under a strict construction the Commission had no authority to com- pel a witness to be sworn by a member of the Commission, but that witnesses would not raise technical objections. -It was decided, however, to inform witnesses frankly of the status of the Board and to afford them an oportun- ity_to decline in caSe they so desire. It was suggestedt‘that the difficulty might be avoided by getting the President to appoint one of the officers of the Board a notary public, so as to have an offi» cer capable of administering oaths present. ' Major-Gen. Joseph Wheeler was no- tified to appear to-day before the Conr- mission. - Big Woolen Failure. Dover, N. 1-1., Oct. 4.—The Sawyer W'oollen Mills have assigned for the creditors, to Jeremiah Williams, a. wool commission merchant, of Boston. Al. W. Sulloway of Franklin will arrive to-day to take charge of the plant. The corporation owns six mills and employs 600 workmen. The corporation alSo owns practically the whole of Sawyer’s Mills settlement, 8. station on the Portsmouth & Dover branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad,‘consist‘lng of more than 100 tenements. Mr. Wil- liams, the assignee of the Sawyer Mills says that the liabilities are about. $1,- 000,000 and the assets probably nearly as much. ‘ Fatal Foot Ball. ~ Boston, Mass, Oct. 4.—The first fatal accident on the local football gridiron this season happened Sunday afternoon on Franklin Field. Robert Coveney, the seventeen—year—old son of the late Postmaster Jeremiah W. Coveney, re. ceived injuries to his spin which re- sulted in his death at the City Hospital this morning. The lad was playing end on the Hartfords, a. local eleven, and the acident happened on a tackle play during a scrimmage, four or five men of his own and the opposing eleven coming down on top of him. To Succeed John Basestt Moore. Washington, .Oct. 4.—The President has appointed David J. Hill of Roches- ter First Assistant Secretary of State to succeed John Bassett Moore, re- signed. Dr. Hill is ex-Presldent of Rochester university. He is versed in international law. He has taken a prominent part in New York politics, and has delivered many public ad- dresses during recent campaigns. He is now in Holland, but is expected to re- turn at once, having accepted the posi- tion tendered. Germany and Dreyfus. Berlin, Oct. 4.—A semi-ofi‘icial state- ment issued by the Cologne “Gazette" denies the assertion made in French newspapers that the German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Bulo;.'v, has been commanded by Emperor Wil- liam to furnish the French Govern< ment with friendly explanations as to the role of Col. Schwartzkoppen in the Dreyfus affair. New Pearl Fields Discovered. Washington, Oct. 4.-—New pearl fields of great richness have been dis- covered off the coast of New Cale- donia, on the west side, according to United States Consul Wolf at Noumea. He says that one shell contained 256 pears, and one little boat of one and a half tons furnished last year twenty« two pounds of pearls. Forty Seventh for Porto Rico. It was anounced at the Army Build. lug yesterday that the Forty-seventh Regiment of Brooklyn, which has been doing garrison duty at Fort Adams. Newport, R.

Nearly everywhere these more or less unwieldy mortals have formed them- selves into clubs for common enjoy- ment, and it may be for mutual sym- pathy, and the comparing of notes as to their increase in size, for we may be sure, that though the outside world is very infrequently permitted to pene- trate into the arcane. of these meeting places, a. scale is one of the chief arti- cles of furniture. Paris has a Fat Man’s Club, which is called “Les Cent Kilos,” a title which sufficiently designates the object of the institution. No one is admitted until he can turn the scale at that very re- spectable weight. Vienna, too, has a Fat Man’s’Club. several other cities. At times, like the clown cricketers, the members of these various clubs show their agility and exhibit their .bonhomie by festivities, in which they permit their friends to participate. Suchsan exhibition, indeed, there has been of the Paris Fat Man’s Club, in which these good people indulge in such “violent delights” as dancing and a walking match.
