Committee on Foreign Relations is
somewhat undecided upon the exact
form of resolution to be reported, and
may not come to definite conclusion
before tomorrow. 1t now looks as if
not only recognition of the present gov
ernment of Cuba would be eliminated,
but as ii the language of other portions
Of the Foraker resolution, which it was
first decided to retain, would also be
abandoned, and q new resolution re-
ported. This is intended as a compro-
mise measure, upon which 1t is hoped
almost all Senators, irrespective Of
party, can agree. a

FINE ART ROOMS.
Something About the Pacific Hard
ware Company.

Many people in Honolulu, who daily
pass the business house of the Pacific
Hardware Company, simply glance in
at the well filled shelves, and pass on
with the mental remark that this is a
neat, well kept hardware store. This
much is very true, but it does not COW
er the business by any means. A walk
inside, and an easy stair case to the
second floor, will bring a surprise to
the visitor. Here will be found art
rooms that would do credit to the lar
gest cities of the mainland, and ar
ranged artistically are the finest of
lamps, handsome water color pictures,
plain china for decorating, yards up
on yards of fine mouldings for fran
ing, water color paints, china paint,
brushes of the finest material, and
other art supplies. While the firm
counts the business of their second
floor large during the whole year, it
is at holiday time that they expect
and have the rush for these goods.
Anyone in search of Christmas gifts
would certinly be hard to please if
they could not make a selection at the
art rooms of the Pacific Hardware
Company and should the visitor not
purchase he would feel well repaid
for the time spent, as the display is
an exhibition in itself. The invitation
to call and inspect the goods on sale
is open and extended to all, and visi-
tors will be made to feel welcome by
courteous attendants.
The success Of the firm in the past
has stimulated them to increase the
hardware business by absorbing the
stock of another firm, but this will in
no way detract from the close atten-
tion given to the art rooms and art
supplies. Honolulu is proud of such
enterprise and shows appreciation by
liberal support.
1t is one of the places of interest
that the tourist to Hawaii is shown
and they invariably pronounce il
grand, and to be compared only to
rooms such as are found in the
large cities like New York. Chicago
and San Francisco.

REJECTED CHINESE TAKEN FROM
THE CHINA.
Plan to Send All Those Refused a
Landing to San Francisco Frustrat-

Just before o'clock yesterday
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock came
aboard the China with warrant is
sued by Chief Justice Judd directing
him to arrest eighteen of the Chinese
passengers for Honolulu and hold
them until habeas corpus proceedings

sued on the affidavit of Nee Chin, al
leging that they were unlawfully pre-
vented from landing and were about
to be carried out of the jurisdiction of
the court.
Hitchcock found twelve of them and
took them to quarantine. Collector
General McStocker and Agent Brown
were at the time on the steamship
passing upon the right of fifty-one
Chinese to land. This work was not
completed unil few minutes before
the steamer sailed at 7:45 o'clock.
Twenty-Five Chinese were permitted
to land. Twelve were taken into the
custody of the marshal The other
fourteen went on to San Francisco. a
request that they he held in quaran-
tine being refused.
How the names of the Chinese who
We're aboard the China became known
to those who secured the order of ar.
rest is puZzling the officials.

The department says it is the fun
