1t took place thirty-five miles northwest of

ginning will be paid by voluntary
donations.
The society recommends that schools of
higher order be introduced by the japan
ese authorities with as little delay as pos
sible, and that the people be practically
encouraged to take full advantage of these
institutions. 1t is expected that before the
end of this year regular course of study

its influence in making the schools attrac-

The mouth of the Peiho River has been

Government fearing entrance into the
Chinese ports of japanese ships in dis
guise has asked the foreign Ministers to
cnnsent that all foreign men-o:-war under
whatever flag shall be stopped and held to
wait thorough inspection by Chinese naval
officers.
The Chinese authorities believe that
FOrmosa will be the scene of serious con-
flicts. Detachments of troops and NUM-
tons of war are constantly sent thither
from Foo Chow, and the Chinese part of
the island is in a state of uncommon mill

The Japanese. If silent. do not attempt
to mi'lead on vital noints. One error and
one only is laid to their charge. They are
accused of circulating doubtful reports to
pated Japan FROM technical blame in the
matter of the sinking of the Kow Shing.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEES
RESOLUTION.
Dispatch Published In Washington
August nth Relating to the
Hawaiian Republic.

The House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee agreed yesterday morning to report
the following joint resolution congrat-
ulating the Republic of Hawaii
Resolved, BY the Senate and House of
Representatives. of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, that
the United States of America congratu-
lates the Republic of Hawaii on the

sumption, &C., of such a republic. as is
indicated, by the recent adoption of a
republican form Of government"

mittee as unfinished business. When il

pone the consideration of the Bouteile
resolution, the Republicans claimed that
that was movement on the part of the
Democrats to kill it and prevent Con-
gress from congratulating the Hawaiian
people upon the establishment OF their
new Government. When the committee
met yesterday the Republicans insisted
that the only business before them was
the Boutelle resolution, whereupon the
chairman, Mr.. McCreary, brought in the
foregoing substitute.
When Chairman McCreary report,

word republic" was substituted. Mr.
Hit, of Illinois, who is the leading Re

from the Democratic members present
why it should be qualified. No. ex
planation was made by the Democrat,
members of the committee as to thei
reasons for amending it, and when tn,
vote was taken, it was carried, all tn,
Democrats supporting the resolution
and the Republicans opposing il.
