COMMISSION.
Chinese Again-Last Sittings of
ROdV.

Chinese Again-Last Sittings of
Body.
At the open meeting Of the Commis-
sion yesterday morning, w. Horace
Wright appeared and presented two
memorials in the interest of Chinese
residents. The first of these was on
behalf of rice planters. A leading point
in the petition is that American laws
relating to Chinese do not apply to
that race in these Islands; and that
Chinese labOrers in limited numbers
may arrive in Hawaii when good and
sufficient bonds for their return home
in three years may have been given.
The Commissioners will hold their
final session this morning, Senator
Cullom, Senator Morgan, Mr.. Hit and
party will leave by the Gaelic tomor-
row for the States. They will proceed
to their respective homes and viii ar
range a meeting to take place in
Washington early in November.
Judge FTear will join the Commission
there, leaving Honolulu in October.
President Dole viii probably not go.

Central Committee Meets to Pre-
pare Memorial.
PRINCIPAL POINTS OF DOCUMENT
Course of Cabinet ImpeIIed Action.
The GoVernorship-Am
Shipping for the Flag.

The American Union Party, the only
political organization of annexation
lists in Honolulu, has come out OF it's
she'll to sing, after a silence uainter-
rupted since the endorsement9of Am
erican Special Agent Sewall for the
GoYernorship.
A meeting of the Central Committee
of the A. u. p. was held last evening
and a memorial to the Commission
was framed The document will be
placed in order and submitted prob
ably tomorrow.
The draft that was submitted TO the
meeting last evening had two principal
points. The first was that the party
had not been consulted by the Execu-
tive at any time in any way concern
ing the future as it might be affected
by communication with the Commits
sion and for this reason presented the
memorial.
The second heavy paragraph in the
outline presented to the delegates was
the expression of opinion that Ameri-
can shipping laws should be extended
to the new territory at once.
There is asked for in the memorial
"a liberal form of territorial govern
ment, with such restrictions. limita-
tions, ETC., as the conditions appear to
require
ON the question of the franchise the
committee gives utterance in favor OF
liberal suffrage"
The committee favors the national
policies concerning construction of the
Nicaraguan canal and a cable from
10 Moi inI fD Il ;-
that American tariff laws be extended
to Hawaii without delay
1T was 10: 80 when the Central Com
mittee adjourned. It's session opened
at p. m. In the absence of Chair
man Kennedy, Geo. w. Smith presided
w. r. Sims is the secretary and was
in his place. Eleven members OF the
committee were present altogether.
Discussion was earnest and not at all
brief ON several questions. The first
debate was on mention of the Cabinet.
There were those who thought the Ex-
ecutive should not figure in the me-
mortal. Some of the members were in
favor of stating specifically an opinion
on the suffrage. Again there was
slight division on taking issue with
the Chamber of Commerce on the mat
ter of shipping interest.
In the ending Of the memorial the
Central Committee asks that there be
named for first Governor OF Hawaii a
man who has not been identified with
local politics, in the past
The meeting of the committee was
good natured in every way and prac-
tical unanimous sentiment prevailed
on most of the matters, though the diff
ference on a couple of points was wide
and fixed.
1t has been openly stated that the
Central Committee had no intention
Of addressing the Commission until II
became convinced that the Cabinet
would not consult the party. 1t is very
evident, too, that the Governorship, for
which American Special Agent Sewall
has already been endorsed by the Cen
tral Committee, is still leading and
very carefully nurtured consideration.

PinafOre in View.

CHESS CLOCKS.

0..es Used la t:fc Game.
Hourglasses or sand glasses were for
1nerIy used for the purpose OF measuring
time at chess matches, but now special
" constructed clocks are in general use
for this purpose. These clocks consist of
two clocks, mounted On n common base,
which moves on pivot, tine two clocks
therefore being on the arms of sort Of
seesaw. The beam or base is so con-
structed that when one clock is elevated
it stands perfectly perpendicular, while
the depressed cloek lies over at an an
gle but as the mechanism of each clock
Is so constructed that IL only moves
when the clock IS perfectly perpendicu
lar it follows that when the upright
clock Is goiIig the depressed clock is at
rest.
Another and moro modern variety has
tho two clocks fixed on the same level,
but with Il small brass arm reaching
from the top of one TO the top of She
other. This arm acts on a pivot and can

with one clock 1T time by a touch of
the finger. When it is thus il contact,
by an ingenious device the clock Is stop
ped and the desired result is attained.
The working Of the clock during "a
match Is simplicity itself. At the COM
lnencement Of the match the hands of
each Jock point to IL. Then at the call
OF ''tiIne to commence play, the clock
OF the first player is started; then, as
soCn as he makes his first move, he stops
his own clock, either by depressing it
or by touching the arm referred to, the
same motion starting his opponents
clock. So it goes or during the entiro
course of the game, each move being
marked by the stopping Of one clock and
the starting of the Other.-Leisure

SNOW EATING.
A Habit IN PerHicious That of
Opium.

Opium.
Every great discovery in the worlds
history has brought with il an accoInp3-
nying ai9liction, and it has remained fo-
the klondike to develop peculiar inanin
that threatens TO outrival opium eating.
Among the residents Of the far north il is
known as the snow habit" and it is
said 10 be incurabie. Henry Barnum OF
Great Bend township has returned from
the I<londike and tells the strange story.
There are many strange things in the
Klondike,'' said Mr. Barnum, but per-
haps the strangest and that about which
nothing has been written so far is the dis
sipation caused by eating snow. In the
north, when the thermometer reaches 80
to 30 degrees below zero, Il mOuthful of
snow is like molten metal It brings an
Inflammation to the palate and tongue,
and it is impossible to quench the thirst.
The Grst advice an old timer offers u new
conner in the region is Don't eat snow
There are men in that country, once
hearty, robust miners, now weak, effemi-
nate creatures, whose fall can be traced di-
rectly to the time they began munchinS
snow.
Tho matter has been but little investi
gated, but tho scientists who have exam
ined the subject say that the waters of
tho north are rich with mineral deposits
which are being constantly washed down
from the mountains. y certain per cent
of this mineral is taken into the air when
vapor rises, and the snow becomes impreg-
mated with it. There have been several
falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the
deposit being OF reddish brown color,
due entirely to minerals. Thus it can be
seen that a person eating large quantities
of the snow takes into his system "a corre-
spending amount of minerals" "
While coming down the Copper river
last spring Mr.. Barnum came upon n par
ty of miners where one was dying from
the effects of eating snow. He had been a
hard drinker, but had run short of whis-
ky. His thirst became uncomfortable, and
as water was scarce in midwinter he had
taken to eating snow. Soon he claimed
it relieved his appetite for the liquor, but
his companions noticed that his appetite
for the snow increased, until he was con-
suming enormous quantities. Gradually
his skin, which was n dark bronze, grew
light, his rugged stature became bent and
even his harsh voice changed to the efTem-
mate squeak of an old woman. His
strength gave way and his companions
tried TO break him of the habit. He would
lie on his pallet and moan pitifully for
mouthful Of Stow and when opportunity
offered would steal unobserved to the
doorway and gulp down huge handfuls.
At last, seeing death was inevitable his
companions allowed him the snow, hop
ing to prolong his life. 1t proved unavail-
ing, however, and one morning just pre-
vious to Mr.. Barnum's departure the man
was found dead.
There are some spots on the Copper river
where the snow, when melted and strained
through cloth, shows perceptible signs
of minerals, and often gold is found plen-
tifully interIrixcd, but, of course, not in
paying quantities. Where this comes from
is a mystery, but it may be brought from
the far north by the heavy winter gales
that sweep over this part of the country.

A Question of Heads.

How can you beat and scratch your

judge 20 a woman of spirit and independ-
ence. Don't you know that he is tho
head of the family and ought to be respect

Jour head, too, and ought TO be obeyed.'
This was pretty severe doctrine TO preach
20 a distracted family, but every man in
the world will say that it is strictly true
and ought 10 be enforced.
This woman, however, was unterrified
and in very pert tones said, Judge. is
