HONOLULU, Aug. 31.-Within seven
days the Commissioners to recommend
legislation for the Hawaiian Islands

Hawaii and Maui, seen the volcano.

people desired to know to obtain an

to the surprise of many who vainly i'm

much as any other dark skinned race,
Is credited rightfully or wrongfully

remarks in council: Our mission mere
Is not In the interest Of the Repub-
lican, Democratic or Populist parties;
it is simply in the interest of the Ha-
waiian people, their welfare and their
country" Most certainly the Commits
sioners themselves cannot be blamed If
the Hawaiian people do not respond to
their invitation and go before them and
tell them of their wishes, for they have
been very frank and cordi-l in those
invitations, and to-day commence
series of open sessions for the. recep-
ton of delegations or individuals hav-
ing thoughts to utter.
The speeches made by them on their
rapid tour of inspection have, like those
of the inveterate campaign speaker,
considerable sameness.
The Commissioners will be enter

Happily, Mr.. Sewal has enabled me
to set at rest an unpleasant rumor to
the effect that the Hawaiian section of
the Government had expressed to him
a desire that the transports, when re-
turning from Manila, should not call at
Honolulu The mere existence of such

citizens and referred to by the local
press, indicates the dread the conserva-

Over a hundred tons of supplies for
Honolulu were also discharged.
1t would take about three weeks
more to complete the repairs to the
Tacomas boilers and condenser if work
were continued. Orders were received
yesterday to stop the work, however,
and nothing further will be done until
word is received by the Scandal, due
next Thursday, as to the movements of
the Tacoma and its cargo.
Colonel Barber said yesterday after
noon that he did not know how the
5000 men under General Merriam could
be comfortably quartered here. I'VE
have experienced the greatest difficulty
in locating the 100 under me- said the
colonel. "a board of engineer officers
has been at work for days endeavoring
to locate a suitable site, but as yet
have not settled upon place. And
when it comes to arranging a camp
for 5000 men-well, 1 don't know what
can be DONE"
The steamship Alliance of the John
son-Locke line arrived here on the
9th. She left San Francisco at 4:30 D.
m. on the 18th, bringing a mail and
five-day later papers.
On the Alliance are Companies F, G.
and II of the First New York, under
command of Captain U. A. Ferguson.
Chaplain Earl SwartZ is on the Alli-
ance, also Chief Surgeon Major Davis,
who has an order to establish a forty
bed hospital in Honolulu, for which
there is a complete outfit on board.
The Arizona, the largest vessel on
the Pacific, arrived off port about
o'clock Saturday night, and came up
to the Pacific Mail wharf early Sun
day morning. She made quick trip
Of trif1e over six days. She brought
the Third Battalion of Eighteenth In
fantry recruits for the First Colorado,
First Montana, Tenth Pennsylvania
and Third Artillery, in all 1905 men. be-
sides General Merriam and Red
Cross corps.
General Kings first orders to the
troops after arrival here was in re-
lation to shore leave, which he said
would depend on their own good con-
duct. Until further orders liberty
hours will be from noon to IL o'clock,
the time to be divided into five watches,
fifth of each company to be on shore
at one time.
The Arizona will remain here until
the Scandal arrives, probably next
Thursday.
The men of the Arizona were enter
tanned at luncheon yesterday by the la
dies of Honolulu.

Anna Rose Chosen Queen.

HONOLULU, Aug. 31.-By the last mail
from the coast a special committee wrote
to parties in Honolulu stating that 1t had
been decided to offer the prominent posi-
ton of carnival queen to a native lady.
The lady to act in this capacity was left
to the people here. The committee state
that the carnival promoters will pay all
the expenses OF their queen. A special
committee will meet her in San Francisco
and escort her to Topeka, Kans., where
she will be the guest of honor of the city

of Hilo, Hawaii, has been selected and

will be directed to turn over to the quar-
termaster's department all the quarter
two companies have been guarding the
Executive building for the past five years.
There will probably be a muster in
the Hawaiian troops in the near future.

MERRIAM HAS SUCH ORDERS
THREE TRANSPORT LOADS NOW
ON THE ISLANDS.
In the Vicinity Of Hawaii's Capital
There Is Some Trouble in Find
ing Accommodations for
All the Volunteers.
Correspondence of The Cain.

HONOLULU, Aug. 31.-General Mer-
Ram stated yesterday afternoon that
his orders from Washington were to
hold everything at Honolulu until he
had heard from the Government again.
These instructions applied to the Ia
coma and her cargo Of live stock, as
well as to the Arizona and her troops.
Whether the Tacoma will go to Manila
or return to San Francisco no man this
side of the coast knows. 1t Is not be-
lieved here, however, that she will ever
reach the Philippines. inasmuch as the
terms of peace end the necessity for
cavalry animals there.
Arrangements are now making to put
the troops on the Arizona in camp at
the Kapiolani Park in case movements
are delayed by coming orders from the
War Department. This will mean
merely an extension Of the present
camp to accommodate the recruits. The
is now thoroughly established and can
easily stand the additional strain. A
few of the Arizona men stopped at the
camp last night.
General Merriam is q true friend to
a cable for Honolulu. Unless all indi-
cations fail he will urge upon the Gov
eminent at Washington the immedi-
ate, pressing necessity for connecting
the islands with the mainland. 1t will
be urged as a military necessity Of
great moment, especially In view of
the movement Of all expeditionary
forces to this city. There seems a pos
sibility that the cable will follow the
a
ton, even If the line Is sold after the
Philippine question is fully disposed of.
Yesterday the Arizona discharged a
large quantity of hay, intended for the
Tacoma's live stock at Manila. It will
be taken to the IWilet pasture to-day.

SIT ON THE FLOOR.
That Is How Nature Intended You

When that invincible being IAN emil

thing or that ordinary folks have moth
ing left but to believe. Therefore when
Sir James Cricston Browne, one of the
most eminent medical authorities in all
England. announces that men and wo
men would derive untold benefit from
sitting on floors instead of chairs, the or
dinary mass OF humanity must believe
his theory, even though they. may not
put it into practical effect.
The position of sitting on the floor or
the ground is more natural than that of
sitting on a chair. 1t was once general
with the entire human race. 1t is both
healthy and natural.
The exercise of getting up from and
down to the floor is beneficial. says the
St. Louis Republic Through the general
adoption of the sitting posture among the
civilized races many muscles have be-
come stiff or obsolete. Persons who sit
on the floor have strong back and thigh
muscles Turks. tailors and shoemakers
are examples of this fact.
II you sit on the floor you can change
your attitude as often as you please. and
can enjoy an endless variety of pose
and however often YOU alter IT, and how
ever you may place yourself, there is
never any chance of your falling off. II
you sit on the floor you can achieve all
kinds of comfortable positions which it
is impossible TO obtain even with the
easiest OF easy chairs. The influx Of visi-
tors need never cause anxiety to the
well-COnstituted mind OH the subject Of
chairs. All he has To provide is guam
tity OF cushions-cushioGs of every size
and shape. Let guests select any they
please. and il will be their own fault if
they are not comfortable and happy.

The Health of the Eyes Depends

Nothing more contributes to beauty than
long eyelashes. which give so much eX-

deserve every care that can be given
them. The ancients, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, made quite an art Of
the cultivation of the eyelashes. and also
Of the eyebrows. Also, besides being beau
tiful, eyelashes preserve the eyes froiil

which cause irritation and even infiamma-

therefore, when the eyelashes fall. II is
not a mere vanity, consequently. TO en-
deavor to preserve them or obtain them
it is health to the eyes themselves. Al
the same time healthy eyelashes often de-

Everything also that irritates the eyelids
irritates the eyelashes and hastens their

ing light reading and working by insuffi-

eyelashes. Wine. spirits and all strong
drinks are equally injurious to the eyes
