of the aunoxed territory, the citi

zenship and elective franchise of

its inliHbitunts and the manner iu

which laws of tho United States

are to be extended to tho islands.

In order that this independence

of tho Congress shall bo complete

and unquestionable and pursuant

to the recognized doctrine of pub

lic law that treaties cxpiro with

the independent life of the con

troduced out of abundant caution

an express proviso for the deter

concluded by Hawaii with foreign

nations and the extension to tho

islands of the treaties of theUnited

States. This leaves Congiessfreo

to deal with such emiecial regula

tion of tho contract labor system

of tho islands as circumstances

may require.

There being no general pro

vision of existing statutes to pro

scribe the form of Government for

newly incorporated territory, it

was necessary to stipulato, as iu

tho Dominican precedent, for con

tinuing tho existing machinery

until provision shall be mado by

law for tho Government, as terri

tory of tho Uuited States, of tho

dominion thus incorporated into

the union, but having in viow

the peculiar BtatuH created

in Hawaii by laws enacted in exe

cution of tho treaties horetoforo

concluded between Hawaii and

other countries, only such Ha

waiian laws are thus provisionally

continued as shall not bo incom

patible with the Constitution or

the laws of tho Uuited States or

with the provisions of this treaty.

It will be noticed thut express

stipulation is mado prohibiting

the coming of Chinese laborers
