With the resignation OF Lieutenant
BILLY" clemans from the police force,
taking effect on the first OF next month,
it may be said that the contests for the
two party nominations for chief of police
win begin. though nearly a year elapses
before the municipal primaries and more
than a twelve-month before the election.
This ecllpses the contest at the famous
Republican county primaries OF the
spring OF 1896 Captain Bennett has not
yet named CIemans SUCCESSOR, but che
will come of the force and not be an out
side man. Clemans hasn't much oppo-
sltlon for the Republican nomination so
far, though some will no doubt develop
soon. Whartmaster John w. Morning
ton announced himself for chief few
months ago, and Sam johnson, who was
a candidate for nomination against Ben
nett last year, may come out again, but is
said to have conceded that Clemans can
not be beaten at the primary,

Hon. S. Percy Smiths address,
of which summary is given in
this paper, is of great interest. 1t
throws light on the information,
long familiar in books, of the cor
r.spoDdence between the lsngu-
ages of Polynesia and counties
on the other side of the world,
such as Madagascar. The
Polynesian is not, it would
appear, of the Aryan
race, though coming from its
cradle and br ngiug some practises
p 'culiar to Aryan peoples. This
fact would dispose OF the notion,
to some extent held, that the
Hawaiians are stragglers from
"the lost sheep of the hosue of
Israel" or the ten tribes whose
identity is still undetermined on
the face of the earth. Mr.. Smiths
opinion that letter researches are
a !ainst some Of the conclusions of
the late Judge Foinander will
not, even if perfectly well estab-
lished, destroy the value of that
great Investigators work. Eth
biological Investigations are pro
gressive in their results like those
of other sciences. According to
Mr.. Smith, the present Polynesians
were driven out of India by the
Aryans. The fugitives came too
far east and founded homes for
themselves in the west, where now
the heirs Of Aryau civilization are
pressing them hard on all hands.
They cannot take to their canoes
and get away again, for there is
no place where to direct their
prows. But they are given the
better opportunity Of getting into
the big boat of modern civilization,
to leave not loved island homes
behind, but the bare reefs of bar
barism and feudalism.

to be Paid.
WASHINGTON, September 20. -
Minister Hoshi of Japan stated today
that he had no information that Japan
has offered to accept 100000 in gold
from the Hawaiian Government as full
indemnity for the rejection Of 1,2OO
japanese by the Hawaiian authorities.
If such an indemnity was paid by the
Hawaiian Government the necessity
for proceeding with the arbitration ar
ranged for, of course, would be Obv1-
ated. While no information confirma-
tory Of the report that such an Offer
had been made has been received al
the Japanese Legation here, the Off
cials at the legation expressed the
hope that it would prove to be true
saying it would be most satisfactory
way out of the difficulty.
Assistant Secretary Day gave an alb
solute denial to the statement that IL
United States Minister Harold Sewall:

toned 100000 as probably represent
ing the figure which Hawaii would pa!

ter in any way.
