CUSTOMS LAWS EFFECTIVE
Solicitor General Argues That Islands
Are Not a I’art of United States For
Customs Purposes Until Congress
bliall Have So Declared.
Washington, Jan. 15.—Solicitor Gen- i
oral Richards today made reply to Mr. |
Smith’s argument iu the Hawaiian iu- j
sul:\i case now being heard before the j
United States supreme court. In this j
case, he said, it was obviously the in
tention of congress, as soon as practica- j
Me, to treat the territory as part of the
United States for legislative purposes,
so tnat the revenue and commercial
laws which apply iu the United States
should operate there.
“But,” he went on, “before thesa
laws could be put in operation in the
Hawaiian Islands it was necessary that
a period ot preparation should intervene
after tiie passage of the resolution of
annexation.
“Ou Juiy 7, 1898, when the annexa
tion resolution was passed, there was no
customs laws of the United States iu on
eration in Hawaii and no customs offi
cers of the United States there. The
customs laws of the republic of Hawaii
were in force and they were the only
laws of that character. It is obvious,
them lore, that if the resolution of an- J
nexatiou immediately abrogated thecr.s- I
toms laws of the island the territory
would have been left without any cus-
tom> law open to the ships of the world.
The customs laws of the United States
could not have eft'ective operation be-
eau.-s- there were no agencies there to ;
enforce them.
“If. then, the resolution of annexa
tion threw open the ports of Hawaii to
the world at the same time, according
to the contention of opposing counsel, it ;
threw open the ports of the United
States to ships coming from Hawaii.
ll,e effect of this would have been to
give an open door through Hawaii luLi
our ports. We could nor inquire, when
goods come into the United States- from
Hawaii, whether they had been brought
into Hawaii as an entrepot to the United
States. ’ ’ *
Mr. Rictiards argued that that sort of
thing could not be permitted, and he
expressed the opinion that if congress
had believed such a consequence would
ensue, the resolution of annexation
would not have passed when it did, nor
until arrangements could have been
made to put in operation our customs |
aud commerce regulations immediately. I
So far as customs matters are concerned, j
evidently the islands were not to be
deemed part of the United States for
customs purposes until congress should
have further legislated the matter by (
law, extending the United States cus
toms laws and regulations to the islands.
He paid attention to the annexation res
olution, saying that it did not make the
Hawaiian Islands a part of the United
States, but a part of the territory of the
United States.
“It is,” he said, “obvious that terri
tory annexed or ceded to the United
States becomes ‘a part of the territory
of the United States,’ but it does not be
come ‘a part of the Uuited States’ iu
either a constitutional or legislative
sense until congress shall so determine. ”
In conclusion, Mr. Richards said:
“In the annexation resolution it was
provided that the customs regulations
of the republic of Hawaii should con
tinue until congress should extend- the
customs laws of the United States to
the island. It was not until the pas
sage of the act of April 30, 1900, that
the islands become a part of the Uuited
States for customs purposes by the ex
tension of our laws to them. ’

Ten Thousand Fresh British Troops.
New York, Jan. 15.—There is a great
deal of uncertainty as to the exact in
tentions of the government iu regard to
the question of reinforcements for South
Africa, says the London correspondent
of The Tribune. The announcement
made so positively by The Post that the
enrollment of Badeu-Powell’s police
force had been abandoned is officiall}-
contradicted. Probably The Post was
led into error by the confusion of official
plans, as it is now stated that in addi
tion to the constabulary the war office
intends to dispatch to the Cape 5,000
men to strengthen the Imperial yeo
manry, which, as a fighting body, has
been seriously weakened.
It is expected that, without counting
the police recruits, a few weeks time
will see more than 10,000 fresh British
troops iu the field. The question of
mounts is also being dealt with and
horses are now, it is understood, being
sent to South Africa at the rate of about
8,000 a month.
HE SURRENDERED HIMSELF
Thomas Chapman Gives Himself Up
to the Governor.
Atlanta, an. 16.—Thomas Chapman,
40 years old, a man of family and some
means, convicted of arson in Hall coun

The governor rook Chapman over to
the office of the prison commission and
he was sent out to the Chattahoochee
camp to begin his term of service.
Chapman was convicted of arson at
Gainesville last year and given the min
imum penalty of two years. His case
was appealed to the supreme court, and
pending the appeal he was at liberty on
bond. The supreme court refused a new
trial, and when the remittitur reached
Gainesville Chapman was nowhere to
be found. His bond was estreated and
is seems he heard it was about to be for
feited. That led him to come to the
city and surrender himself.
