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.'

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.

somewhat flattened nose and full lips.
They are well made, active and of

laughter-loving, nnd are capable of a
fair degree of Intellectual and moral
elevation. Their songs manifest gen

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." Sanford E. Dole was
choBcn president for the term of six
J years ending December 31, 1900.
Special to thp Scranton Tribune.
Washington, Juno 20. 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.

Benjamin Harrison's term began
March 4, 1SS9, and tho first cencral
tnrlff act passed under his administra
tion was signed October 1, 1890, eigh
teen months after his Inauguration.
Cleveland's second term, which be
gan March 4, 1S&3, with his own party
in control In both branches of congress,
did not witness the completion of its
tariff measure until August 28, 1894,
nearly elshteen months after he took
the oath' of ofllce.
A study of the above history of tho
tariff from tho bealnninc of the gov
ernment down to the present tlmo will
Indicate to those who have been ln
clired to crltlche what they assume to
bo tho slow action of congress, that In
stead of Its action being unusually
tardy, It has ben unusually prompt
and especially so In view ot tho fact
that the rarty in control of the admin
