Wilson of Arizona: A bill (H.R. 10843) to amend an act entitled "An act to amend an act to prohibit the passage of local or special laws in the Territories, to limit Territorial indebtedness, and so forth" - to the Committee on the Territories.
There were only 2,600 voters in Hawaii according to the last election, and this provides that those who wish to vote at the next election for members of the legislature shall have paid their tax previous to the 31st day of last March.

Naval operations during the Spanish-American War (1898-1901) served to convince President Theodore Roosevelt that the United States needed to control a canal somewhere in the Western Hemisphere.
This interest culminated in the Spooner Bill of June 29, 1902, providing for a canal through the isthmus of Panama, and the Hay-Herrán Treaty of January 22, 1903, under which Colombia gave consent to such a project in the form of a 100-year lease on an area 10 kilometers wide.
This treaty, however, was not ratified in Bogotá, and the United States, determined to construct a canal across the isthmus, intensively encouraged the Panamanian separatist movement.
