ARRIVE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
The Annexation Commissioners Chary
in Discussing Their Work in Ha-
waii-Japanese Flocking In.

SAN. FRANCISCO, Sept 3O-The Ha-
waiian commissioners returned to-day on the
steamer Gaelic. Little regarding their work
in the islands and their probable recommen-
dations could be learned, though they were
willing to talk of the beauties of the islands
and their kind and enthusiastic reception by
the islanders They did say, however, that
the islands are destined to enjoy great pros
perity in the near future, though all agreed
that it would take an immense sum of
money to develop their resources. 1t was
intimated that much consideration would be
given by the commission in its report re-
garding the invasion of the islands by
Orientals The islanders are already COM
planning Of the increasing hordes of labor
ers, especially from Japan, the little brown
men flocking to the islands in great num-
bers in anticipation of restriction act The
commissioners denied any differences with
President Dole and expressed themselves as
highly appreciative of the assistance rem
dered by that gentleman to the commission
They speak highly of his treatment Of them,
missioners will probably go East tomorrow
night and will present their report to the
President and will later appear before Con-
gresS.
Under date of Sept. % the Honolulu CORE
spondent of the Associated Press writes that
the congressman committee, having COM
pleted its work, Senators Cullom and Nor
gan and Congressman Hit left for Wash
ington, where they will hold a meeting on
Nov. IA, which will be attended by Justice
Frear and probably by President Dole. Dur
ing the last few days of their stay in Homo
luIu a number of petitions were sent to the
committee by various foreign residents. The
American Union party, which claims to rep
resent the American element in the islands,
presented memorial requesting that the
committee recommend liberal form of ter
ritorial government. The memorial further
favors liberal suffrage and extension of
the United States tariff and shipping laws
to Hawaii The memorial asserts that ii is
for the best interests of the islands that the
first Governor of Hawaii should be one who
is not bound by any tie, political or other
wise, to airy party or class of residents in
Hawaii. In speaking of the work of the
commission Senator Cullom said at Homo
lulu: I'VE have done as much as possible
in the time at our disposal and we have
covered the ground thoroughly. When we
meet in Washington we will go to work at
once on our report"

Move Oct. Is.
CAMP MEADE, Middletown, Pa, Sept
30.-The movement of the troops from Camp
Meade to the South will begin Oct. Is, and
be pushed rapidly. Secretary Alger is anx-
ious to get them away before the cold
weather sets in.
There was much comment in camp when
Surgeon General Sternberg announced that
he would not permit sick men to be sent to
the private hospitals, determination born
of the fact that alleged representatives of
the Lebanon Hospital had demanded roney
for taking care of sick soldiers. The Leba-
non Hospital people have denounced the
person who made the demand as irresponsi-
BILE, and renewed their offer to take charge
of sick soldiers free of charge. This was
wired to Surgeon General Sternberg nd he
may relent. The incident is not regarded as
closed as Governor Hastings is going to
make an investigation and the institution
may lose it's State aid.
Major Reed, president of the board APP
pointed by Secretary Alger to investigate
the sanitary conditions of the camps in the
country is here trying to locate the cause
of typhoid in the New York regiment The
provost guards have been instructed to keep
close watch on vendors in camp to prevent
the sale of liquor.

more work was done in any one week of
the war Just closed than during the entire
period of 1916 by the military postal serV-

to that we started the military postal
service without one scrap of information

La Grippe is a disease of the nerves. 1t

tonight James j. Corbett stepped before

In it he says:
'As a last inducement to overcome your

make that proposition still more favorable.
thus: A purse of $25, ,0O0 stands ready to be
offered prize for a meeting In the ring

me to a finish. This makes $4,000. i offer

Take it or leave ii. If you really want
fight, 1t offers. If you want money, a sum
is ready exceeding your gross receipts in
five battles. If you want reputation you
can make 1t better by meeting me than
by meeting all others together. If you
doubt this ask the public each night when
