.JAME NLNR'S TRAVELS THE PEACE COMMISSION
WHITELAW REID ACCEPTS THE
VACANCY.
Three Commissioners Strongly Favor
Holding the Philippines-Judge Day
Only Wants Manila City and Harbor.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The
Peace Commission as III now stands
consists of William r. Day, Cushman
X. Davis, William Z. Frye, Edward
White and Whitlaw Reid.
Reid is the new name on te list. 1t
takes the place of General b. f. Ira
cy, who was the Presidents selection
on Monday. The appointment of Mr..
Reid was decided upon after the with
drawal of Tracy's name, when the
President held conversation with
Senator Platt over the long distance
telephone.
Justice White accepted late this af-
ternoon. He had asked to be eXcus-
ed on account of the condition of bus
mess before the supreme court. The
President personally urged him to
accept and so earnestly that Justice
White this afternoon announced his
willingness to serve.
Three members of the Commission,
Davis, Frye and Reid, are strongly in
favor of holding all of the Philippines.
Day holds to the view that Manila
City, the bay and harbor are enough
for the United States to take. 1t is
said though that he is open to con-
viction and will be guided in his con-
clusions by what may appear best for
the country.
The views of Justice White on the
Philippine question are not definitely
known. 1t is said by some of his i'm
mediate friends that he will favor
holding all territory over which the
flag floats He will be valuable men,
Der of the commission, since he can
speak the Spanish language fiuently,
and is familiar with the Spanish laws
which govern in those islands.
The following attaches of the Peace
Commission have been selected and
will be appointed by the President:
John Moore of Massachusetts, now as
sistant secretary of state, to be sec
retary of the Commission, and j. w.
Macarthur of New York to be as
sistant secretary.
Macarthur was formerly first secre-
tary of the United States Legation at
Madrid. and is now on special duty at
the State Department He has had
considerable experience in work of a
diplomatic nature. These appoint
ments were decided on by the Presi-
dent this afternoon.

CHINESE AND JAPANESE INDULGE
In A FREE FIGHT.
Ends in Nothing but Some Badly
Bruised Arms and Legs-Accident
to Paia Pumping Plant
Maui, September 1, 1S9

hdul5 DCDOtllDCI Is lOJOs
Spreckelsvile had a miniature war
on Tuesday night, at Camp 3, some
forty or fifty japanese and Chinese
being engaged. A Chinaman had sto-
len watch from a Japanese, and the
aggrieved party gathered his friends
and went after the culprit. The Chi
namen of the camp rallied around
their countryman, and a good fight
ensued. Sticks, clubs and fists were
used, and the Japs were finally driv-
en- off. Some of the combatants were
quite severely bruised and injured, uc-
cording to report.
Paia Plantation is having hard luck
indeed With its pumping plants. On
Friday last all the damage done by
the first break in the pipe had been
repaired and the large pump put to
work again. The pipe was about half
full of water when a thick plate over
an exhaust hole, close to the house,
blew out, and the place was again
flooded, the well filled with dirt. and
mud scattered everywhere. BY Tues
day things were cleaned up, so that
the smaller pump could get to work,
and little delay was caused.
Tuesday evening the pipe to their
old pump on the fiat, which has been
running for years, burst, and flooded
that place. The damage and delay
will amount to little though, and ev-
erything will soon be in working or
der. Good rains have prevailed late
ly and the bitches are full, so that
planting has been retarded by very
little.
Arthur and Fred Baldwin leave on
the Lehua tonight on their way back

and Never Rose.

c. p. johnson, who came here in
charge of a consignment of blooded
cattle for the Molokai ranch, on the
Andrew Welch, was drowned yester-
day afternoon at Kaunakakai.
He went to Molokai on the steamer
Lehua, with the stock, and had COM
pleted his business and was waiting
for the steamer to- return. The Lehua
was out some distance from the pier,
and Captain Bennett had gone ashore.
Johnson jumped off the pier into the
water and swan around for some lit
tie time. Those on the steamer watch
ed him and spoke of him as a good
swimmer. 1t appeared as though he
were swimming out to the steamer.
Suddenly he threw up hi hands
and sank. At first it was supposed he
had simply dived, but as he did not
come to the surface again, boat was
lowered and a search was made for
him. This was kept up for some
time, but the body could not be dis
covered.
Captain Bennett notified the local
police, and on his arrival here, the
marshal. 1t is supposed that john
son was seized with heart failure In
the water. His brother formerly
worked on the government dredger.

THE DEATH TRAPS.

NEW YORK, August 26.-There will
beJa Strict investigation into condi-
tions of the camp at Chickamauga,
which has been characterised "hell
upon earth" The First Maine volun-
teers suffered so severely that every
fifth man was unable to walk. The
camp at Tampa, General Breckenridge
says, was one of the fatal mistakes of
the war preliminaries. 1t is said that
in each case of choice of camps po-
litical debt was paid. The transport
horrors are also to be sternly shown
up, and those responsible tried by a
court martial.
