RUMORS OF DIVISION.
There have been rumors on the
street for several days that there was
a division in the Commission and that
its sittings here have not been as
harmonious as might be- This is
not so. While there have been diff
ferences of opinion there has been no
dissension or acrimonious feeling.
For instance, on the question of suf-
frage, there was division. Senators
Cullom and Morgan were opposed to
any restriction while the two Hawaii
an members wanted the present re-
strictionS maintained. Congressman
Hit took the middle view, favoring a
small income qualification and thus
an agreement was finally reached.
THE CHINESE QUESTION.
1t may be stated on this head that
all memorials and petitions have been
of no avail. The terms of the New
lands resolution and the Chinese Re-
striction Act are so strong as to leave
the Commission no choice but to sub
NIT to the ironclad rules laid down.
THE BILLS PREPARED.
Contrary to the impression which
has heretofore prevailed, the several
bills, with one exception, which are to
be presented with the report, are al
ready prepared, and will go at once
to the Congressional printing office.
The Commission being empowered to
present a report and such bills az
may be requisite, it will not be neces-
sary for the bills to be presented and
by vote passed to print, as is usual
with new bills. The main report will
be in manuscript for the Presidents
use only, but it is considered likely
that it viii be incorporated in a spe-
cial message to Congress and thus be
made public.
CITIZENSHIP.
1t is understood that the question
of citizenship will be referred to the
State Department at Washington for
final decision. This being settled. the
Commission has only to meet in
Washington on November 18th, incor-
porate the decision in their report and
final bill and their labors will be at

 WELL ARRANGED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, May 19.-Society circles of Los Gates are greatly stirred up over an elopement that was frustrated at a late hour last night by a number of town officials. The parties to the proposed runaway were w. G. Harri- son and Lillian Sund, the 1S-year-old daughter of Herman Sund, prominent contractor and politician of that place. Harrison is married and has a wife and two children. Plans for the flight had been well arranged. A negro with a team from this city had been hired to meet them at an obscure point and drive them here, where they were to take the 4:30 train this morning on the way to Seattle. Justice Beggs and Constable Reynolds learned of the mat ter, and when Harrison and Lillian ap- peared at the appointed place to meet the coachman they were taken into custody. Both of the lovers carried large bundles of clothes and were well prepared for a long trip. Miss Sund was escorted to her home, and Harrf- son was taken to jail. He was released this morning upon his promise to leave the town forever.

 When the Iowa was turned to gq back to the starting point, the entire line was engaged. The New York, stately, standing high out of the water and showing all her gracefulness, but making an easy target, slowly ran the gauntlet of two miles. While the en- emy's fire was at it's hottest. two jack les stood at the Iowa's bows, without any cover, heaving the lead. They worked just as calmly as if in New York harbor.

 ''The feature most discussed was the wonderful pluck of the Terror and her escape from being hit. Shells simply rained about her as she lay within 50s yards of the forts, and blazed away with her f1ve-inch rapid-fire batteries. The Amphitrite's trouble was with her after turrets, and was caused by an accident to the gear which supplies the turret power. Several slight accidents occurred on the ships, but on the whole they were not as numerous as generally happens during heavy target practice. The strain on the men was rather se- were The heat of the sun was intense before 8 o'clock The work done by the engineer officers and their men. who for three hours were under the battle gratings in the intense heat, can~ not be too highly praised.

KEY WEST, May 19-An onlooker of the bombardment of the Qualifications of San Juan de Porto Rico on May 12 by the fleet of Rear Admiral Sampson gave the following details of that en- gagement. He said:
 "The most remarkable feature about the bombardment was the escape Of the fleet with so few casualties. The enemy's fire was heavy and continu- ous, and the elevation of their batteries gave them a tremendous advantage. How they missed hitting the ships no one understands. Their shots fell all around, and their guns had capacity for twice the range. Yet they only landed two projectiles with any serious effect. The San Juan affair strengthens the opinion that well placed fortifica- tions make a hard task for even the strongest battle-ships.
 'The secondary batteries of the ships were not used after the line had passed before the forts. This was chiefly on account of smoke Drifting in front of the turrets, it made the handlers of the big guns liable to lose all sight of land.
 ''The admiral and his assistant chief of staff, Staunton, were on the super structure on the lee side of the coming tower. They did not go inside the con- ming tower, which will probably not be used in action unless the fire is coming from both sides. So far it has proved a rather useless institution. On the fore castle, in the lee of the forward 12-inch turret, were Lieutenant March, flag secretary, and Ensign Bennett, flag lieutenant, both of whom. with Staun- ton, accompanied the admiral from the New York. Bennett had signal buoys with him. His signal flags, in the can vas bags, were made fast with a line which ran around the turret barbette. This was to prevent them from being shot overheard.

TO PREVENT ANNEXATION Senators Work Against
 the Scheme. OPPOSITION TO RETALIATE. MAY HOLD UP THE WAR REV
 ENUE BILL.
Whichever Way the Newlands Reso- lution Goes, Congress Faces the Prospect of Heated Con-
 troversy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 19.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Sena tors who are opposed to Hawaiian an nexation are now trying to prevent annexation by. the House of Represen- tatives on Newlands' resolution.
 Since that resolution has been re- ported to the House plain intimations have been conveyed to Chairman Hit of the Foreign Affairs Committee that if the House should pass the reso- lution the enemies of annexation in the Senate would retaliate by holding up the war revenue bill indefinitely Pettigrew of South Dakota is a Sena- tor who has taken the lead in this movement
 On the other hand the more earnest advocates of annexation in the Senate have intimated that action by the House on the Newlands resolution would accelerate the passage of the war revenue bill There are apparent ly dangerous complications between the annexation resolution and the war revenue bill, whichever course is taken in the House.
 Representative Hit had a confer ence with Speaker Reed to-day about getting the. resolution up for consider ation in the House by means of a spe- cial order from the Committee on Rules No definite agreement was reached, but Hit is confident that a special order will be reported in the near future and that the resolution will speedily pass the House.
 There will be O delay in the Senate, where the opponents of annexation are determined to talk against time, and present indications are that the only way by which the matter can be brought to a vote there is by holding the Senate in continual session and tiring out the opposition Senators.
