NON-ANNEXATIONISTS
Will Send Commission of Five
 Members to Washington.

Honolulu, via San Francisco, Oct 27.-lt has been decided by the Ha- waiians opposing annexation to send a commission of five men to Wash ington to make a determined fight against the ratification of the annex ation treaty. At least three Hawaiian societies will give their support to the movement. It is understood that J. O. Carter, a white man, will head the commission.
 A prominent citizen who recently returned from Germany says that the Hawaiian annexation question is re- ceiving some consideration among the German people. A number of prominent Germans have expressed themselves in favor of the amalga- nation of the two republics. In that event they think Germany should be allowed to take Samoa without inter- ference on the part of the United States. The bulk or the money in vested in Samoa came from Germany, and therefore they argue that Ger many has as much right to absorb Samoa as Uncle Sam has to take in 11a"dH. , < .,i- :! HAi.s

 It may be, it is true, regarded as insufficient to meet the issue pre- sented by MT. Woodford in his note, but officials of the state department say that in view of what has already been accomplished by the new Span ish cabinet in reforming the abuses in Cuba, in removing Weyler and in projecting what appears to be the liberal measure of autonomy, our government will certainly rest at least until congress assemblies and afford the Spanish government "a reasonable length of time to carry our its plans
 THE KIND OF AUTONOMY. The Spanish minister, SenOr Duruy de Iome, consented for the first time today to speak concerning the policy of autonomy which his government proposes to apply to Cuba. He said under tsls autonomy policy as applied tc Cuba the island will have a system on the lines of those of Canada or of the American stalbes, maintaining it's individuality in all internal af- l fairs, yet retaining its place as i a part of the federal system.

GRAND JURY AND CLARK
QUESTION AS TO WHO Is To PUSH
THE GAMEWELL INVESTIGATION.
Deputy City Clerk "Supposed" that
the Grand Jury Would Send
for the Papers.

There seems to be some question as to
whose duty it is to present the report of
the special Council committee which inves-
tgated the police patrol telegraph scandal
to the grand jury. Considerably more than
month has elapsed since the Council de-
cided that the entire controversy should be
laid before the grand jury. Nothing has
been done. The special committee, COM
posed Of Messrs. Montgomery, Woody and
Golfer reported July 10 that "a very thor
ough investigation" had been made, and
that the evidence, which was submitted with
the report, fails to implicate any city Of
fetal in any way"
Mr.. Golfer moved that the report be
adopted.
Mr.. Payne objected, and moved as a SUBJ
stitute that the report of the committee
be received and that the same, as well as
the stenographic report of the evidence. be
submitted to the grand jury, with a request
from Council that complete investigation
of the matter be had" The substitute mo-
ton prevailed.
1t is claimed that this action relieved the
special committee of any further respon-
sibility, and that the action of the Council
in directing that the entire matter be
submitted to the grand jury placed SUBJ
SequeAl responsibility on the city clerk.
Deputy City Clerk Tamm said yesterday
that he supposed the grand jury would SEND
Tor the papers in the Clark case. He said
that If this was not done in two or three
days all the documents would be sent to
that BODY from the city clerks office. One
batch of affidavits has already been turned
over to Deputy Prosecutor Afford this term
of the jury. Mr.. Tamm says that it is the
custom of the grand jury to first dispose or
Jail prisoners who are awaiting its action
before taking up miscellaneous business.
Mr. Afford frequently appears at the city
clerks office to ascertain whether there is
any business to go before the grand jury.
In any event Mr. Tamm said that the Clark
case would be looked after soon.

Not Positive as to the Tax Rate.

Controller Johnson is still engaged in fig
uring on the city's financial condition, pres
ent and to come. He said yesterday that
he thought it would be possible to gel
through next year without increasing the
tax levy, but that he could not determine
this question positively until he receives fig
ures from the county assessor showing just
how much taxable property the duplicates
will show. He expects to get conclusive in
formation to-day or Monday on this score.
Until he has them he cannot determine how
much revenue the city will have next year.
He hopes to have all the estimates ready to
present to the Council at the next regular
meeting, a week from Monday.
