This is tbe most Important point in tbe Pacific to fortify In order to conserve tbe interests of thi country. It would be hard to overstate tbs Hawaii ia Importance of this-neetoo heavily taxed. Lawa should be enacted setting aside for a period of, say, twenty years 75 per cent of the Internal revenue and custom receipts from Hawaii aa a special fund to be expended in the island! for educallon al and public buildings, and far hap tor Improvements and military and naval defense. It can not be too often repeated that oar Mm must to to develop tbe Territory of Hawaii on traditional American line. That territory haa serious commercial and industrial problems to reckon with; but no measure of relief can to considered which looks to legislation admitting Chinese and restricting them by statute to field labor and domestic service. The status of servility ran never again to tolerated on American soil. We can not concede that the proper solution of its problems ia special legislation admitting to Hawaii a class of laborers denied admission ' to the other slate and territories. There ere obstacles, and great obstacle, in tbe representative way at building up American community in tbe Hawaiian 1 In not tbe American Islands; but it character to give up in the face of Many an American comdifficulty. monwealth has been built up against odd equal to those that now confront Hawaii.

Even If the rate of growth of tbe territory is thereby rendered slower, tbe growth mast only take pleco by tbe admission of Immigrants fit in the end to aume the duties and burdens of full American cltixenshlp. Our aim must be to develop the territory on the same basis ef stable citizenship aa exists on tMs continent , Porto Rico. I earnestly advocate tbe adoption of legislation which win explicitly confer American citlzenhip on all citizens of Porto Rica There is, in my Judgment, no excuse for failure to do this. Tbe harbor of San Juan ehould be dredged and improved. Tbe expenses of tbe federal coqrt of Porto Rico sholud to met from tbe federal treasury, and not from tbe Porto Rican treasury. The elections in forto Rico should take place every four years, and tbe legislature should meet ia session every two year. The prrarnt form of government In Porto Rico, which provides for tbe appointment by tb president of the members of the exeqntlve council or upper house of tbe legislature, baa proved satisfactory and. haa inspired confidence in property owners and Investors.

I think it of doubtful utility to apply the coutwise laws to the trade between tbe United Buies and the Philippine under any circumstance. because 1 am convinced that it will do no good whatever to American bottom, and will only interfere and be an obstacle to the trade between the Philippines and the United State; but if the coastwi law must be tbu applied, certainly it ought not to have effect until five trade la enjoyed between the people of the United Bute and the people of the Philippine island! la their respective - TA1I.

Ths notion wss brought in Weber county to recover 2,7u) alleged to be dun plaintiff on 36 shares of stock lu the association which bad matured. It apple rs from the record that -plnlutlff bought the aluirra in 1890, unj that they were of the fifteenth series II paid them up and they matured ou Bept. 30, 1898. They were regularly declared matured by tbe company Is which recognised Its Roger fa the total gum of 92,750. Ths association commenced paying off such Indebtedness snd on June 2U, 1903. n balance of 2.700 woe still due on the same. Payments were then stopped nnd In the following October Rogers commenced suit. la November, Driver filed his suit snd asked that n receiver bo appointed for the assoelstlon. Cro, Milan, tlio president of (be association, admitted tbs Insolvency of the institution snd consented to having n receiver He also filed a complaint in Intervention to recover on some stock subsequent to tbe fifteenth series, aud leo on eome stock ia that eeriea. li appears that the association. Driver and Grossman were all represented ia the various actions hy the sumo attorneys. Tbe question raised at ihe trial was whether or not Rogers wss a creditor or simply a stockholder and whether or not bis claim should be preferred and paid before subsequent series. Tbs lower court held that when the stork matured the coinpeny agreed to It from the bolder, snd thst the holder was treated a w creditor of tha association. Judgment was rendered In favor of Rogers for tha sum of 92,700 and interest a it was held that his claim wss a preferred one.

The Judgment is affirmed by the supreme courf In aa opinion wrritlcn by Justice Btraup, concurred In by Chief from InJustice Bortch, but justice McCarty. Justice Btraup holds that from (he evidence It is clear that the association end appellants colluded together to throw ihe association Into tbe hands of a receiver ia order to "stand off Rogers suit." and that became a creditor of the assoRogf-rciation la 1898 when his claim became due and payable and is therefore entitled to recover tbe amount granted by tbe court below together with Interest. - M f . - pur-ebs- a 4 ; 1 ft HE USED A REVOLVER.
