o'clock. Tho debate was In committee of the
wholo and only three of tho six speeches

In advocacy of Its passage. Koblnson of

which, ho said, continued to force labor con
tracts existing In Hawaii, denouncing It as
legalizing a system of wage slavery. Mon
dell of Wyoming spoko generally In support
of the bill.
Inno of Iowa, one of tho republicans who
opposed tho Porto Hlco tariff bill, made n
vigorous speech leafllrmlng his position and
warning his republican associates that tho
country would not support an unfair policy
toward thn I'orto Klcans. Thomas of North
Carolina, Williams of Mississippi ,nnd llou
toll of Illinois discussed "imperialism."
tilliritlliir of the I'nellle.
Mr. Knox said: "Tho Hawaiian Islands
ore the Gibraltar of the Pacific In war, tho
koy of the Pacific In po.ice, the paradise of
tho Pacific ever. Hawaii Is now American
territory by the solemn agreement of two
Independent nations. Hut while Hawaii Is
I'nlted States territory. It docs not
pofKess a United States government,
only a skeleton of the republic of
Hawaii remains. The government provided
by the annexation resolution was but tem
porary, Intended to be of brief duration to
last until congress should establish a gov
ernment. Its substantial provisions, were
acceptance of the cession; providing that tho
public land laws of tho United States
should not nnnlv. hut thai tho 1
rovenuo nnd proceeds thereof should
belong to tho people of Hawaii: providing
that until congress should provide laws tho eluding the sword presented to him by con
existing government should be exercised In grcsn nnd tho great loving cup procured by
tho manner and by such persons as tho popular subscription. His object In so do
presldent should elect; abrogating treaties ing Is to give tho public an opportunity to
with foreign nations; continuing the exist- ! view the collection.
Ing customs regulations: assumption of the
public debt of the Hawaiian Islands to the 1
amount of $1,000,000, and prohibiting further
Immigration of Chinese.
"In all this there was no provision for
local government or for nny expression of
popular will. There was an entire alwsenco
of representation a government entirely
un-American nnd In derogation of all tho
principles of n free government. Its only
Justification could be that Its endurance
would be brief.
"Hawaii bore no part in tho Spanish war.
Her people aro a separate and distinct peo
ple from those of tho Islands we acquired
by that war. No fear of establishing a
troublesomo precedent for the future should
deter In tho dlBchnrgo of this duty now InU
upon congress. No apprehension for a future
claim to statehood should have any consid
eration. Wo cannot now bind tho future In
this regard. No constitutional question Is
Involved In the present consideration of a
government- for Hawaii. The spirit of tho
Declaration of Jndopcndeuco. as well as that
of the constitution, goes with tho present
measure, for it,, Is with, .tho consent of the
governed.
CuimMIItlfM for Self-t.o verninent.
"In forming a government for the islands,
If we may establish that of a free represent
ntive government of a United States terrl-
lory, wo sunn still bo acting in the lino
of past history and precedent, although for
tne nrst timo wo enter upon tlio tnsk of cs-
tabllsning a government for islnnds In tho
Pacific ocean, separated from the continent
and far beyond what was once considered
tho ultimate bound of the American repub
lic. Whether we tuny Justly und wisely'
establish such a territorial government de
pends upon tho fitness of the people for Its
adoption. Aro they in condition to nppre-
elate Its responsibilities, to shapo Its futuro
according to American Ideas and traditions?
The number of peoplo is small, but the ter-
ritory Itself is small. More than half the
people aro Asiatics, but they are not citi
zens of tho United States. They are not
and will not bo entitled to tho right of suf
frage. They are largely In tho islands tem
porarily Intending to return to their native
land. A largo part of tho people Is made
up of tho native race of Hawaii a slowly
dying race, fading away year by year. They
are to share In tho citizenship and In the suf
frage. They are gentle, plain, peaceful and
now generally educated In cither the Eng

their own development. A considerable por
tion of the people are Portuguese. They
will make part of tho citizenship nnd of
tho voting population. More than half were
born In the Islnnds and aro largely educated
In tho English language.
"Dut In addition to these, and nerhans as
furnishing the chief reason why the people
may bo considered adapted to a territorial
government, there Is a controlling class In
the community nf the Hawaiian Islands
made up of Americans, English, Germans
nnd a fow other Europeans. They nro not
controlling In the sense of being oppressive,
but as guiding and directing legislation and
social development. It Is a class that has
always had the Interest and welfare of tho
islands nt heart, who have largely shaped
Its past and must of necessity as largely
shape Its future,
"For all the voting populace tho bill
provides an educational qualification. Thero
I Is to be nn Intelligent ballot In Hawaii
This Is the great and perhaps tho only
ultimate safeguard of freo institutions.
This bill provides for tho Hawaiian peoplo
a territorial government llko that ot tho

KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 21. (Cor
respondence of the Afsoclatcd Press.) The
royal mall steamer Don brought news yes
terday of tho assassination of James Lyall,
the nrltlsh vice consul at Cludad, state ot
Uollvar. Venezuela. February 28. Lyall,
who was an Englishman and was 22 years
or ace. was icavinc ine cunnuiaiu wnen uu
... Ht.hb.. ns I.- ,vent into tho
fatallj atatiDeu as uo weiu inio tno
street.
According to tho Dcmerera Chronicle the
assassination of Lyall was premeditated and
had some political significance. He wan
stabbed with a knlfo in the region of tho
heart and sovcral other stabs woro Inflicted
after ho had fallen to the ground. The mur-
rlerer who. It anneals, was ono of a nartv
of conspirators, was arrested and lodged In
prison. Ho was a native of Colombia. It la
said that the man has since confessed to tho
crime, but added that ho was merely the
agent of others In the commission of thn
deed.
Lyall came from England to Cludad In
October, 1808, and during his connection
with the consulate was energetic In attend
ing to nrltlsh interests. Indeed to his zeal
in this rcHpcct Is attributed the conspiracy
which led to his assassination,
The consul-, C. II. Do Lomns, had virtually
completed '.ill arrangements to go on a visit
and Lyall was to have nctol during his nb-
senco. He had assumed tho office on many
previous occasions
Tho assassination has caused a feeling of
alarm among tho nrltlsh community In the
stnto of Hollvnr. It Is expected that tho
Hrltleh government will take action In the
matter speedily and demand reparation of
tho Venezuelan government.

have a bad effect on the Free State popula

REICHMANN STORY DOUBTED

WASHINGTON. April 3. War department
officials do not believe the story that comcJ
from South Africa to the effect that Captain
Carl Helchmanu, Seventeenth Infantry, was
one of the lenders of the Doers at tho last
flpht between tho Hoers and the Kngllsh
nt the Illuemfontein waterworks.
Adjutant General Corbln would not eon
discuss the portability of the story being
true. Relclimaiin's brother otllcers. men
who know him well, say It Is very probable
that Helchmanu occupied some conspicuous
point of vantage from which to view tho
light and hl discovery In uniform by tho
llrltlsh wan the basis for the arisumptlun
that he was one of the Ilotr leaders.
Itelchmann was selected by General Miles
personally to accompany tho Iloer foro.
during tho war ns an obforver for th.
I'nlted State army. Tho army was already
represented on tho British side by Captain
Slocutn and In the Interest of military scl
ouco it was deemed essential that an nr
curnU Mon should be had of tho Iloer meth
ods of warfare in order that conclusion
might be drawn that would be useful to the
United States army. Itolchnmnn ranks high

His collcngucs In Washington declare that
tho officer has too much common seiiro to

described, for If he actually threw his lot

violated the rules or war and committed a
very grave offense under the army regula

NEW YORK, April a.-The Journal and
Advertiser assumes that the American
named Helchmanu, said to have been In com
mand of the Hoers at tho Ilushman's kop
ambush, was Captain Carl Relehmatin. V.
S. A. The Journal and Advertiser says:
Captain Rclehmnnn was detached from
command of a company of the Seventeenth
Infantry when ordered to South Africa on
January ft. He was sent to the Capo to re
lort on nil military operations and is vir
tually a United Slates representative. He
leached the front about four weeks ago, nnd,
like the French nnd German attaches, Is be
lieved to be helping tho Iloer forces in what
ever way lie can.
Captain Itelchmann was bom In Germany.
Ho came to America In 1N81 and the same
year Joined tho United States army. He
was first In barracks at Fort Leavenworth.
Kan. During the war with Spain h" was
asslgnod to duty with the Hureau of Military
Information In the adjutant general's ollhe
at Washington.
At the beginning of the Spanish war he
was mndo an assistant adjutant ceneral
with tho rank of captain of volunteers, and
was present at the Santiago campaign. On
his promotion to a captaincy in the regular
army ho was assigned to active duty In the
Philippines. He served at tho front there
for several months.
Captain Kclchmann Is n graduate of Heid
elberg university, where he was a prollclcut
duellist. His face is marked with many cuts
ns a result of this sport.
A Washington dispatch said Inst night
that the War department had received no
report recently from Captain Rclehmnnn
The report' that ho was fighting with the
Iloer was a startling announcement to ihe
department. Captain Itelchmann Is stll! of
ficially connected with the United States
government and such an act nt that of his
might bring grave diplomatic difficulties.
The cables giving this report were at on:c
handed to Adjutant General Corbln.
"Such a thing as this," said Ihe general,

Captain Helchmann has dono this without
