SAN Francisco, Aug. 2.-Con gress-

today, placed himself on record as against
annexation to the United states. In dis

be a wise thing for this country TO un :
dertake, or at least while the present
conditions prevail
"The population consists chiefly
of Japanese, Chinese and Por-
tuguese, with very small
proportion of American or English
speaking people. The per cent of litter

than among the Kanakas. and the per-

the islands would confront Us and who of
that mixed people should be given the
franchise would also have to be deter

do regarding the islands would be to
form some close reciprocity treaty, which
would give them the same advantages as
our states and insure their markets for

to the Council.
NEW BOARD NAMED.
A. P. A. Commissioners Were
Appointed This Morning.
Gov. HOlcomb Refused to Meet
With the Board.

OMAHA, Aug. 2-Nar has not yet
broken out in Omaha as a result of the
effort of the A. P A. to take charge of
the fire and police departments under a
law which they declare went into effect
yesterday. Trouble however at noon was
imminent. The commissioner of public
lands and buildings and the attorney
general. who are A. P. AS, met as an
appointing board at 1890 o'clock at Lin
coin. The governor refused to meet
with them.
They at once appointed Capt. Broatch,
Paul Vandervoort and II. T. Foster as
police commissioners of Omaha. The
three are A. p Az and well known po-
litical wire workers who have been prom
inently identified with politics in Omaha
for years. The law on which they base
their authority declares that the strong
est three parties shall have representa-
tives on the commission.
These are all A P AS with no parti-
cular political faith in general The
state law requires all commissions of
this character shall be signed by the
governor. The governor in this case re-
fuses to sign these and the attorney gem
eral signed them.
At 4:3U d special session of the council
will be held for the purpose of APPROX
ing the police commissioners bonds. AS
a majority of the council is A. P. A, this
will no doubt be done. The commission
will then begin business
All the old police and fire departments
refuse to recognize the authority of the
new commission, and at once another
force will be installed. As the old men
will not surrender city property, con
f 1.ct is expected about clock when the
new force will make an effort to get for
clb.e possession of the city Jail.
Troops may be needed to prevent
bloodshed.
Later.
Judge Hopewen of the district court
has issued Injunction restraining city
council from approving bonds of the
new fire and police commissioners and
hearing is set for Monday.
