HAWAIIAN FORM
OF GOVERNMENT
Senator Cullen the Returned
Chairman of Commission
Has Something to Sav.
CHEAP LABOR GOES THEIE
In Large Numbers and Threatens to
Become a Difficulty—Territori
al Form of Government.
Bj Associated Press
San Francisco, Oct. I—Senator Cullom,
one of the commissioners sent to Hawaii
by the United States government to ex
amine into the conditions and affairs of
the islands and report as to the form of
government that would be most suitable
and who arrived in this country on the
steamer Gaelic, says that the commission
has concluded its labors and as a result
of their observations they will recommend,
a territorial form of government, different
from that of the territories in the United
States—modified to suit the conditions in
Hawaii. They will give particular atten
tion to the changes necessary in the land,
labor and navigation laws.
Senator Cullom was averse to going Into
details on the scope of the legislation that
will be recommended. He said;
“After arriving at the Hawaiian islands
we met many people of various conditions
and views whose sentiments were learned
with interest. We visited the different
Islands of the group for the purpose of
studying their resources and capabilities
and the social and domestic condition of
their inhabitants.We were particularly in
terested in ascertaining the temper of the
people toward the United States.
‘MVe investigated the situation carefully
with a view of determining the questions
we were specially charged with—what leg
islation in our judgment we ought to re
commend congress to enact to make the
best government for the newly acquired
territory.
“While the commission was substantial
ly determined the nature of the legislation
that ought to be recommended to congress'
it is still not disposed to consider the sub
ject entirely closed for the reason that the
report has not yet been written and for the
further reason that the Island members of
the commission—Judge Frear and Presi
dent Dole—expect to come on to Washing
ton in November, when I, as chairman, In
tend to make a report to the full commis
sion after which the bill and report will
be submitted' to,the president and to con
gress when it convene*.
“I have stated that the commission will
undoubtedly recommend a territorial form
us government, but not cue ordinary form
that we have usually adopted for the man
agement of our home territories, the con
ditions being so different In the matter of
location and constituency.
“There are many interests to provide for.
Some do not want the navigation laws
changed. They prefer to permit shipping
advantages to be accorded to others ‘beside
our country. We have likewise received
petitions asking that none but American
registered vessels be permitted to trade
between the islands and other American
ports.
“One of the most important questions is
that of contract labor Importation. I think
that the laws now in force tn the United
States will apply to Hawaii as well. It
would not do to have laws radically differ
ent for one little patch of country. In
Hawaii those interested say they are at
tempting, since annexation, to prevent the
importation of large numbers of Japanese
and Chinese under labor contracts. Maybe
they are, but I know that on the steamer
we came up on there arrived from Japan
600 Japanese. It seems probable that they
are rushing in now in anticipation of a
change in the immigration yaws.

SHARP BIDDING
FDRJDNITORS
Will Take Place Today in
Washington and Excites
Considerable Interest.
ABOUT 1 MILLION
Will Be the Cost It is Thought, the
Price Being Materially Increas
ed as Result of Competition.
By Associated Pres*.
New York, Oct. 1. —A special to the Tri
bune from Washington says:
The opening of bids at the navy depart
ment for the four single turret coast de
fense monitors, the Arkansas, the Connect!
cut, the Florida and the Wyoming, promi
ses to demonstrate that a remarkably large
number of ship building plants are pre
pared to undertake the construction of
large war vessels and to show that ship
building is growing more rapidly in this
country than has been fully appreciated.
Naval officers have been surprised at the
interest manifested by concerns which have
heretofore hesitated to undertake govern
ment work with its rigid specifications, and
are gratified -with the apearance of several
new establishments In the competition.
From the number of representatives mak
ing inquiries at the navy department, it ia
expected that at least eleven companies
will present proposals. In fact, the
Cramps, of Philadelphia, is the only com
pany on the Atlantic coast that has given 1
no intention of particlpat : ng.
The prospective competitors are the W.
H. & A. Flethcher Co., of Hoboken, N. J.;
who built the Puritan, the Priscilla, the
Plymouth and other sound steamers, con
structing the hulls at Newburg, who have
heretofore undertaken no government con
tracts; the American Steel Company, of
Sparrows’ Point, Md., who have just secur
ed their first contract for torpedo boat de
stroyers; the Delaware River Ship Building
Co., of Chester, Pa., owners of the plant
of the late John Roach, who built the first
vessel of the new navy and several of the
double-turrett monitors in that yard; the
Harlan & Nellingsworth Co. ,of Wilming
ton, Del., who built the Amphitrite years
ago; the Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, who built the Oregon, the Olympia,
the Charleston, the San Francisco, the
Montery and several other large gun boats,
smaller cruisers and torpedo boats; the
Newport News Co., contractors for four
first-class battleships and as many gun
boats; the Columbia Iron Works, of Bal
timore, Md., builders of the Detroit, the
Montgomery and several torpedo boats;
Lewis Nixon, cf Elizabethport, N. J., build
ers of the Annapolis; Bath Iron Works,
(Bath Maine, builders of the Kathadtn, the
Castine, the Machias and torpedo boats,
and John Dialogue < of Camden, N. J., who
managed, after exasperating delays to fin
ish the gunboat Princeton.
Considerable curiosity is shown by the
naval authorities regarding the amount of
money the bidders will demand for the
four vessels for which congress appropria
ted $1,250,000 each. This is, however, to
include the cost of the armor, the later ma
terial to be purchased separately by the
government. The weight of the arnw on
each of the new monitors is about three
hundred tons and at the limit of price for
armor fixed by congress of S4OO a ton, this
reduces the amount available to bidders
for each ship to about $1,125,000.
Strong hopes are entertained in the light
of the recent contracts for the battleships,
that none of the bids presented tomorrow
will exceed $1,000,000, and considering the
number of competitors, in the opinion of
many of the officials, the four vessels will
not cost the government over $900,000
each, exclusive of guns.
$3.00 Hats.
Good values, nobby styles.

OPPORTUNITIES ‘
CHINA OFFERS
For Development is Stronglv
Treated by Wharton
Barker.
By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Oct. I—The1 —The American to
day prints an article from the pen of
Wharton Barker, on the 'possibilities of
future trade relations between this coun
try and China. In the course of his article
Mr. Barker, writes;
“So strict is the Chinamen in all his
commercial dealings that the scrupulous
exactitude with which he keeps his bar
gains is proverbial throughout the east.
The name of the Chinese merchant is a
system of honor. And in this lies tho hope
of China, the opportunity of China to es
cape the dangers that confront her.
“That hope is the development of China
by Americans and Europeans with in con
junction with the Chinese, a development
the profits of which will not merely accrue
to the foreigner but enrich and aggrandize
China. While refusing to permit develop
ment in away that means despoilment she
must invite development in away that
means enrichment. And the reinstatement
of the Chinese party is an earnest of this,
and earnest that the foreigner, the Amer
ican, the European of energy and ability
and willing to cast in his lot with China,
grow up with China, will be invited into
China to work in conjunction with Chinese
for the development of China’s resources
and Wealth producing capabilities. And
here the reputation of the Chinese mer
chant for honesty will stand China in good
stead for, because of it Americans and
Europeans will be attracted toward alli
ances with such Chinamen rather than be
repelled.
“Capital in China for China’s develop
ment is not wanting. What is wanting Is
the energy, the enterprise, the skill that
can successfully direct the building and
operating of railroads and local industrial
plants. It Is this skill and energy that
China wants, it is this skill and energy
that she must gain before her own capital
will become available for her own develop
ment, for the investment of that capital
awaits the assurance of turning out re
muneratively that such skill and energy
alone can give. So the opportunities for
Americans and Europeans to to enter into
partnership with Chinese for the develop
ments of China are great. They must have
enterprise and skill, they must command
capital that they may put into the part
nership as an earnest of their good faith,
as an assurance of their own faith in their
own ability. With such assurance they can
command Chinese capital and as they build
up China build up their own fortunes.’’

NAME OF CHURCH.
Macon Will Be Represented
at the Convention to Be
Held in Washington.
'Rev. F. F. Reese, who is now in Balti
more in attendance on the convention of
the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will next
week go to Washington to attend the gen
eral convention of the Protestant Episco
pal church in Washington.
Among the interesting discussions that
are looked for at the convention is on a
proposed change of the title of the church
to the “Holy Catholic Church,” or “The
Church in America.” The present title of
the church is regarded as a misnomer, and
at a number of conventions abortive ef
forts have been 'made to effect a change.
It is not probable that the movement will
have any better success this time. Al
though the majority of the clergy may
favor such a change the lay delegates will
vote down the proposition.
“There is considerable to be said in
favor of a change of name to one that is
more proper and more expressive, but the
time has not yet come, if it ever does.
When the present title was adopt'd the
church was weak, there was a bitterness
against the Church of England, and al
though the church had most closely ad
hered to apostolic principles and practice
and could justly have been termed ‘The
Church of America,’ it was realized that
conditions were so adverse as to render
'that course inadvisable. The name ‘Pro
testant Episcopal’ was selected as express
ing the protest against errors engrafted on
the apostolic church by the Roman Cath
olic Church, and as indicating adherence
to the original Episcopal for of church
governing t. While the church has pors
pered, has grown rapidly in membership,
in wealth, in good deeds and Christian in
fluence, it has not yet reached the point
where it can be styled ‘The Church of
America,” as some propose.
Considerable debate is also anticipated
at the convention on mission matters. The
Hawaiian Islands are now a diocese under
the Church of England. It is to be ex
pected that the diocese will simply be
transferred to the church of this country.
It is probable that it will be decided to
inaugurate mission work on a considerable
scale in the West Indies and Philippine
Islands.
