TO UK SI UMITTED TO OOIOilM Form or UoTcrninrnt Ilrrldeil t i by ilia Congressional Committee Trie raelfle Cabla. Han Francisco, Sept. 13. The steam er Coptic arrived from Yokohama and Hong Kong, via Honolulu, bringing tho following advices from the latter city under date of September 6: Tho territory of "Hawaii" ia tho name which the annexation commission lias decided to recommend to congroaa. Thus will be preserved in the pruaident nomenclature from tho United State! the diatinctivo origin of this part of the I'nitcd States. The history und tradi tion of the i -land- ami the associations that now residents here want forgotten will goon in unbroken union with (ho name. Tho form of government will !. ' modeled on that of exlsling terri tories. There will be no further de. purturr from this form than local con ditions und national political consider ations make necessary. It is possible that in working out the details the form of government will not approximate so i totJtly to that of state government as the ordinary form ol territorial govern ment doe, lint the ultimate possibil ity of statehood will not be burred. Still, there will bo no District of Col uiiihiu or Alaska form of government proposed. Local self-govern men I will he mven through the extension of the municipal idea. Tho islands will be divided into municipal districts, having control, under restrict ions, of purely local uff.iirs. Honolulu, for instance, will he a municipal district, embracing the whole of the island of Oahu. Ha waii may ho divided into two districts, and Molokui, Maui ami Nithau may be attached to some other municipal dis trict. The qumtion ol ft torritotial legisla tor bus not been fully settled. There will probably ho one, but with limited powers. All the attributes of sover eignty, however, will be exorcised by the national government of the United States. Tho people of Hawaii will bo called on to consider themselves Amer ican, looking to tho national govern ment us a source ,,f national power. In internal affairs they will have tho op portunity of exercising tho high attrib ute of American citizenship, local self government. The form of government the commis sion will recommend will ho one calcu lated to do uwuy with the associations of national independence ami to create associations and u feeling of union with tho United States. It is pretty clear, from what has been said by in emboli of the commission from time to time, that iu framing a form of government for these islands they have also been (burned by the admiiiistra'.ion at Wash ington with forming u model which can lie adapted to Porto Uico and other new IHissessions tho war has brought the United Htutos.

He states that he has had some correspondence with Secretary Day on tho matter, and has asked him to come to a dual con clusion ut as curly a date us convenient. "If the company shall not avail itsell of the Hawaiian contract, it contem plates adopting the shorter Alaska loute. General Sclnyniser write me that a cable, with u lauding iu Aisku, thence to Japan, connecting willi t lie established lines to China, Manila and Austialia could be built fur less than 15,000,000, as against (13,000,000 via the Hawaiian islands.

The general may have been talking, but I believe much ol it is due to antagonistic ncwspapeis, whose motives are ceitainly not patri otic," The Chinese of the Hawaiian islands have presented a memorial to the mem-1 bers of the congressional commission, 1 asking that all Chinese who have be-1 come naturaliaed under the laws ol Hawaii and all children born In Hawaii be eligible to bcoomo citisens of the United States, and that the Chinese iu liawsii bo permitted rights of transit to and from all parts of the United States.

They loport that no fewer than 7U0 Christians are missing. Sev eral nttempts wero made last night to set on Are tho offices of the Kustern Telegraph Company. It bus been as certained that all tho houses overlook ing the Hritisb camp were loop-holed (ot ritle fire and barricaded. This slew clearly that the outbreak was preoonoocted. The behavior and nttitlldo ol tho Turkish tnxips have been ami still are Inexplicable. Without going so far ns to assert that they took pait in the at tack on our troops though many peo plo no icady to affirm that they actual ly saw the sultun'a soldiers firing on our soldiers it is impossible to con tradict the positive (act that they made no attempt to render assistance. Kvery Chiistian survivor ol the mas sacio swears that the butchery was mostly tho work of Turkish soldicis, who first robbed and then slow their victims. Kdhem Pusha is tho man who ought to bo held primarily responsible. Had ho wished to prevent bloodshed he would most certainly have done so. Not till the Uiitish troops under Col onel Reld hud been fighting hard foi four hours did Ivlhem, with his Turk ish soldiers, arrive upon tbo scene. lie then hud tho effrontry to say that he had only just heard that the Uiitish troops weie being attacked by thou sand of hashi-hazouks. It is needless tttpmment on their brazen-faced os cuso.
