MY LORD,—I have the honour to report, for the information of your Lordship, and of those who may be interested, that the Hawaiian laws relating to the issue of patents and certificates of copyright were repealed by the Act of Congress of the United States, approved 30th April, 1900, and that application for patents and certificates of copyright for this territory must now be made to the Patent Office at Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America.

I have, &c.,
