The repuUHo of Hawaii embraces twelve Islands, containing nn aggre gate of 0,740 square miles. Eight of the Islands are Inhabited, their dimensions being as follows: Hawaii, 4,200 square miles; Maui, 7C0; Oahu, 600; Kauai, 90; Molokal, on which Is tho leper set tlement, 270; Lnual, 160; Nllhau, 97; Knhoowe, G3. Moloklni, Lehua, Kaula and Bird Islands arc uninhabited Islets. The present population of the Islands is estimated nt 105,000, comprising 10,000 English-speaking whites, 15,000 white Portuguese, one-third of whom "speak English; 30,000 Hawallans, of whom one-third speak English; 10,000 halt whites, most of whom use the English language; 15,000 Chinese and 25,000 Jap anese. The census of 18'JO, wnicn gave a total population of 89,990, showed that of tho white population nt that time 7,495 were born on tho Islands, 8,602 were Portuguese from Fayal, 1,928 Americans, 1,344 British, 1,034 Germans, 227 Norwegians, 70 French and 419 other nationalities. Honolulu, the capital, Is situated on the island of Oahu and had 28,061 Inhabitants In 1895. It Is distant from San Francisco in a southwesterly direction 2,100 miles; from Auckland, New Zealand, 3,810 miles; from Sydney, New South Wales. 4,481 miles; from Yokohama, 3,440 miles; from Hong kong, 4,893 miles; from Tahiti, 2,380 miles, and from Pittsburg about 4,900 miles. The Hawaiian Islands are situ ated Just south of the Tropic of Cancer, and between the 150th and -GOth degrees of west longitude. A line drawn from San Francisco to the northeast point of Australia would pass through them at a little over one-third the distance from the California metropolis. The Islands are of volcanic origin, and to a great extent mountainous. The highest mountains are situate on the Island of Hawaii. These are Mauna Kea, 13,953 feet, and Mauna Lea, an active volcano, 13,700 feet. The latter has two craterc, the one at the summit being intermittently active, and that of Kilauea on the eastern part of tho mountain, at nn elevation of 3,970 feet, which Is contlnunlly active. Earth quakes, generally slight, occur frequent ly upon Hawaii, but not so often upon the other islands. The climate of the islands Is healthful and remarkably equuble, so much so that the Hawaiian language has no word to express the general idea of weather. Extreme heat Is never known; themeantempeia ture of the year at Honolulu Is 75 de grees, and. the daily range seldom ex ceeds 15 degrees.' LOCAL AND PERSONAL NOTES.

Much Interest has been developed the last few days .In regard to tho treat ment received by Mr. Samuel Vail at the hands of his children, and the re port that he had brought action to re ceive sainnort from his children. Tho Carbnndale Leader has investigated the matter and on Saturday printed the following: As there is always two ftdps to every case, and wishing to placo.the matter In the right llsjhUbo foro the public a Leader man called to day upon some of the parties In ues tlon nnd from them gleaned the fol lowing facts: Mr. Vnll was injured some twelve or fifteen years ago In an accident at the powder mill at Jermyn. For the greater part of his time he has had h'elp monthly from his children, and ever since the death of Philander Arnll has had a good home, free, as Philander left him tho use during his life, of a houso and lot in Jqrmyn. His children have stood ready and willing nt all times to take him to their own homes, but he has never shown a will ingness to accept their Invitations. Last fall a carriage was sent from this city to Green Ridge to bring Mr. Vail here, but ho refused to come and ac cept the home offered htm by his chil dren. Nearly a year ago ho went to live with his step-daughter In Green Ridge. His children did not want him to go and again offered to take him themselves". The present action comes to them ns a great surprise and they feel that n. most unjust reflection Is cast upon them by It.

Thpso islands were known to the Spaniards more than a century be fore their rediscovery by Capt. Cook in 1778, Hawaii being called Mesa. They first became generally known by tho fate of Cook, who was killed by the native) February 14, 1779. Ho named them tho Sandwich Islands after Lord Sandwich, the first lord of the admir alty. At that tlmo each Island had Its own juler, but In 1795-0 Knmeh- ameha subjugated all the Islands ex cept Kauai, which gave In Its alle giance a few years later, and found ed the lino of kings which ruled until the close of 1872, when It became ex tinct. William Lunallle was elected king January 8, 1873, and on his death tho next yenr was succeeded by David Kalakaua, who visited this country In 1876 and 1881. He died In January, 1891, and was succeeded by his sister, Lllluokalanl, who on January 13, 1893, conditionally nbdlented the throne, when a provisional government was formed. A constitutional convention held sessions from May 20 to July 3, 1894, and on July 4 of that year tho constitution was proclaimed, tho new government calling Itself the "Repub lic of Hawaii."

People who are complaining of what they assume to be tho slow progress of the tariff bill will probably be surprised to know that no administration since that of Wash ington ever placed upon the statute books a tariff measure within as brief a period of Its Inauguration as will that of William McKlnley. There Is every reason to suprose that the tariff bill will go upon the statute books before the end ot July, probably much sooner than that. If this shall happen Presi dent McKlnley will have an opportun ity to attacli his signature to a general tariff measure earlier in the history of his administration than has any presi dent slnco George Washington signed the first tariff net on July 4, 1789. This remarkable record, which Is likely to be made with reference to the present tariff bill, Is mado more re markable by two facts. First, that every year's developments ot our com merce and manufactures add to tho complications and dlfllcultle3 In fram ing a tariff measure, and second, the fact that the party In control of the administration controls only one branch of congress. It has seldom happened in the history of the country that a general tariff measure has been placed upon tho statute books when congress nnd the administration were not con trolled In all their branches by a single party, and that It should be possible to pass a tariff bill so immediately fol lowing such a hotly contested cam paign as that of six months ago, with one branch of congress controlled by those who are pitted against tho Re publican party In that contest, Is the more remarkable. Indeed a study of the history of the tariff deglslatlon in the United States would not have war ranted, n year ago, the prediction that a protective tariff bill could have pass ed a congress which was not controlled In both branches by the Republican party. EARLY TARIFFS. It may be of Interest both by way ot presentation of some tariff history and also of satisfying those who are In clined to criticise what they assume to be the slow progress of the work upon the tariff bill, to run briefly over tho history of the tariff legislation of tho country from the beginning down as connected with the various adminis trations. The first tariff act placed upon tho books was signed by George Washing ton July 4, 1789. Not only was It the first tariff act under the constitution, but the first protective tariff measure, indicating in Its preamble that "It Is necessary for the support of govern ment, for the discharge of debt of tho United States and the encouragement and protection of manufacturers that duties be laid on goods, wares, mer chandise imported," etc. The consider ation of this act occupied but about two months' time, as Washington was not Inaugurated until April 30, and tho work upon the tariff bill did not begin, of course, until after that time. This tariff act was, of course, very brief, the space occupied being probably less than one-twentieth of the bill now un der consideration. Several other tariff measures were adopted during Wash ington's administration, most of them being an Increase upon the rates named In the first measure. general tariff measure enacted during hi four years In the white house. Buchanan, during hl- four years, which began March 4, 1857, signed no general tariff legislation until March 2, 1861, two days before the close of his tt-rm. This act, signed two days be fore his retirement, wm tho "Morrill" tariff act, a thoroughly ptotectlvo measure, whoso passage was made pos- clble at that time because of the fact thnt a largo number of the southern Democratic members of tho (thirty sixth congress had withdrawn, leav ing congress In th'e control of the Re publican party which thus placed a tariff act upon tho statute books two dnya before tho Inauguration of Lin coln. , President Lincoln, who was Inaugu rated March 4, 1861, signed his first general tariff net on August b ot that year and this was followed by the pas sage In July, 1862, and June 3, 1864, of other tariff measures to which his sig nature was attached. Grant, who became president March 4, lS6t signed on July 14, 1870 his first general act relating to revenues, by which the Internal revenue taxes were reduced, this being followed by an other reduction on June 0, 1872. President Hayes, who was Inaugu rated March 4, 1877 signed no general tariff legislation, the house being Democratic In the first congress unaer his administration and both branches Democratic In tho latter half of h'ls term. Tho Garflold-Arthur administration, which began March 1, 1881 did not wit ness tho enactment of an general tariff legislation until March 3, 1883, two full years after the Inauguration. Cleveland's first term was not marked by the completion of any gen eral tariff legislation, tho Mills bill, which passed the Democratic house In 1888, falling In tho senate, which was so closely divided politically that It was found Impossible to pass through It a measure satisfactory to the ad ministration, the substitute which was adopted by the senate being rejected by the houtje whera the Democratic divisions on the tariff question, now so strongly marked, were then beginning to make themselves apparent.

Jefferson, who was Inaugurated March 4, 1S01, did not attach his signa ture to a general tariff measure until March 2C, 1804, the bill passed at that time having for Its object an Increase in the revenue to supply funds for the war with the Barbary tribes. This act increased the ad valorem rates, and on the following day a similar act, in creasing the specific rates, was signed, both of them beincr more than three years nftcr Jefferson's Inauguration. Madison was Inaugurated March 4, 1809, and the first important tariff, to Increase duties 100 per cent, on account of the war with Great Britain, was signed July 1, 1812, more than three yems after his Inauguration.
