January 4, 1900 Mr. Elkins, from Committee on Commerce, to
Senate whom was referred the bill (S.729) to extend
v. 33 (1) the laws relating to commerce, navigation,
p. 642 and merchant seamen over the Hawaiian Islands
ceded to the United States, reported it with-out amendment.
January 4, 1900 Mr. CULLOM. I am directed by the Committee on Foreign
Senate Relations, to whom was referred the bill (S. 222) to provide a
v. 33 (1) government for the Territory of Hawaii, to report it with amend-
p. 643 ments.
I desire to give notice that at the very first opportunity I can
get I wish to call up the bill for consideration.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The bill will be placed on the Calendar.
January 4, 1900 By Mr. Babcock: A bill (H. R. 5297) to
House amend the act entitled "An act to better
v. 33 (1) define and regulate the rights of aliens to
p. 659 hold and own real estate in the Territories,"
approved March 2, 1897 - to the Committee on
the District of Columbia.
January 9, 1900 Mr. Fairbanks introduced a bill (S. 2244)
Senate to extend the immigration, contract-labor,
v. 33 (1) and Chinese exclusion laws of the United
p. 701 States to the Hawaiian Islands; which was
read twice by its title, and referred to the
Committee on Pacific Islands and Puerto Rico.
LAND SYSTEM OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
January 10, 1900 Mr. MORGAN. I wish to ask for the printing of a document
Senate prepared by the land agent of Hawaii, J. P. Brown, under the
v. 33 (1) supervision of the officials of the government of Hawaii, which
p. 735 explains fully but still briefly the complicated land system of those
islands. I ask that it be printed and lie over, inasmuch as the bill
to which it relates is probably to be taken up very soon, and the
committee, I think, have had great difficulty in understanding this
question.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to the request
of the Senator from Alabama? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered.
January 10, 1900 Mr. JENKINS, from the Committee on the District of Colum-
House bia, to which was referred the bill of the House (H. R. 5297) to
v. 33 (1) amend the act entitled "An act to better define and regulate the
p. 753 rights of aliens to hold and own real estate in the Territories,"
approved March 2, 1897, reported the same with amendment,
accompanied by a report (No. 30); which said bill and report were
referred to the House Calendar.
January 12, 1900 By Mr. Perea: also a bill (H. R. 6053) to
House amend an act entitled "An act to establish
v. 33 (1) circuit courts of appeals, and define and
p. 790 regulate, in certain cases, the Jurisdiction
of the courts of the United States, and for other
purposes," approved March 3, 1891 - to the Committee on
the Judiciary.
January 15, 1900 Mr. Elkins also introduced a bill (S. 2439)

p. 801 Hawaiian Islands ceded to the United States;
which was read twice by its title, and referred to the
Committee on Commerce.
