g. A. R. Pension Committee Calls on
the President.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The committee
on pension legislation appointed a the
recent encampment of the G. A. r., at
Philadelphia called a t the White House
today and presented to the president
the report adopted at the encampment
asking for a modification of certain
regulations relative to pensions. The
committee consisted of r. B. Brown, of
GAINESVILLE, o., chairman, Gen. A. d.
Shaw, commander in chief, Major J. W.
Burst of Sycamore. Ill, Gen. Dan E.
Sickles of New York Charles Clark
Adams of Boston and Past Commander
in Chief John NJ Palmer. The report
asks the president if he deems it with
in his authority so to do to issue an ex-
ecutiVe order to the effect that in de-
termining the pensiOnable status of a
soldier and in fixing his rate of pension
the several disabilities which he may
have sustained shall be grouped and
taken into consideration. The report
further asks the president to direct
that the practice of refusing pensions
to widows of soldiers who have incomes
of 500 a year or more be discontinued
and that the limit of income in such
cases shall be raised to $3.50 a year.
The committee was with the president
for more than an hour and half. The
committee stated that Mr.. Evans. the
commissioner of pensions, was heartily in
accord with the suggestions. he maintain
ing. however, that the remedy lay entirely
with congress, as in his Judgment the eX-
listing pension laws did not warrant such
great attention to all the committee had
to say and in conclusion assured them
that their remarks would have the fullest
consideration.

that the Filipinos are so blind as to
think that they would fare any better
if Bryan were president instead of Nc

LEAYEN WORTH POLITICS.
Story Which Shows How Things Are
Done There.

A good political story comes from
Leavenworth and it is descriptive Of
some of the methods by which poll
ticians sometimes work. John Hanan,
a Democrat, has for several years been
a member of the board of county COM
rnissioners. One day last summer in a
fit of disgust he publicly declared that
he would not be candidate for a third
term. While in this humOr Hanan was
approached by one of his heighbors
named Nichaels who indicated desire
to run for the place.
Hanan readily aSSented to an en-
dOrsement of his friend and the latter
commenced his campaign. He worked
faithfully until the time of the cOnven-
ton which was composed of twenty
Democrats besides Mr. Michaels.
True to his promise Hanan was faith
full until the last. He arose and in a
burst of eloQuence nominated Michaels-
The speech was cheered to the echo and
Mr. Michaels smiled in ticipatiOn of
the official dignity which he would soon
assume.
A ballot was taken. Hanan had 20
votes; the other man had one, presun-
ably his own.
The result stupefied the new man in
the race. He sat transfxed with sur
prise while the Democrats cheered for
Hanan and demanded a speech. OF
course Mr. Hanan reluctantly accept
ed the opportunity to speak He ex-
pressed his surprise at the result, but
said: 1T seems so unanimous that 1
must display my gratitude by consent
ing to serve you another term"
The man who had been victimized by
the Democrats was called out for
speech He said:
Politics is Won deep study. Good
day"

PHILIPPINES FOR CHRIST
MAGNIFICENT MISSIONARY
MOVEMENT.
Hawaiian Board Heads the Cry From
Mindanao Come over and Help US"
over $4,000 Raised.

One of the most important steps ever
taken by the Hawaiian Board is itH
determination just entered upon, to un-
dertake the evangelization of Minda-
mao. the second largest of the Philip
pine groups. When this proposal was
submitted to the Foreign Mission rally
at Central Union church Sunday morn
ing il was received with the greatest
enthusiasm, and over $40, 900 was raised
instantly to carry il out.
The subject was presented by Rev.
DIR. Hiram Bingham. chairman of the
committee on Foreign Missions of the
Hawaiian Board. So rapidly and sue
cessfully, he said. are Gilbertest teach
ers being prepared for their work that
there would seem to be little occasion
for Hawaiian missionaries. There is no
call at all from the Marshall Islands.
In the Caroline Islands, Ponape is al
ready well evangelized. The Mort
locks are supplied. few are needed
within the lagoon at Ruk And so we
may regard Micronesia as virtually
taken for Christ But are there no 9TH
er lands that have a special claim on
us? Is thereNnOt a Macedonian cry from
Mindanao the southeastern most of
the Philippines and bounding Micro
nesia as it were on the west? The Ha-
waiian Board thinks so and asks your
support.
The resolution by which the board
took this onward step and which was
so heartily approved by the congrega-
tion of Central Union church is as fol-
lows:
Resolved. That whereas, in the won
derful providence of God. there has
been opened just now a door for cen
turies shut. door to very large ISL
and of $4,000 square miles. Mindanao, OF
the Philippines. bounding Micronesia on
the west. and so comparatively our near
neighbOr. and now under the American
flag, inhabited by 1,000000 people.
among whom there cannot be found a
single Protestant missionary or bible
translated into any of the various Ian
guages of the island, save one, and that
spoken but by a small Malay tribe, this
board would make known to its CON
stituency it's great desire to enter this
door at the earliest possible date, and
to cooperate, If feasible. with the Am
erican Board in the immediate evan
gelization of Mindanao."

TIE NEW RAILWAY MATTER
CABINET WILL CONSIDER fT ON
FRIDAY.
Attorney w. o. Smith to Present
Petition for Charter-M Mr.. Thurston
Against Minister King at Work.

Captain James A. King today re-
sumed his duties as Minister of the
Interior. He was present at the Cab
met conference this morning The
Minister states that he is in fair
health though is still u bit weak He
feels that the next few days will pull
him together in good shape. Since
leaving for Hawaii he has allowed his
beard to crop out on the sides of his
face. The extra hirsute decoration
being quite gray makes she head of
the Interior office look older than Il
man of thirty or forty.
The matter of charter for the pur-
posed Hilo and Honolulu Railway will
be considered by the Cabinet, Friday.
Attorney w. o. Smith presented the
petition at today's session, but Presi-
dent Dole preferred postponing consid-
Grafton until the Hilo Railway Com
pany, which is much interested in the
matter, could have representative
present. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Thurston will attend the meeting
with Mr.. Smith on Friday.
The Encouragement recommended
that board be appointed to invest
gate the merits of petition of the
Honolulu Sugar Company to have the
road at Aiea, through it's plantation,
changed. 1t is desired to move the
driveway further makai so as to run
directly through the cane estate.
There has been some objection to the
project, and an official inquiry into it
deemed advisable. Recommendation
adopted and the commission will be
appointed by the President.

To be present all know.
Moanalua is an ideal place for such a
gathering. Its charms never stale. Mr.
and Mrs. S. NJ. Damon are delightful
hosts. Special trains We're provided to
take the guests thither and back. The
American flag tloated from the tall staff
on the lawn. Professor Berger and his
band played throughout the afternoon,
while the quintette club furnished mu-
sic for the dancing in the pavilion. This
dancing pavilion though only one of the
features of Moanalua is one that is re-
membered on such an occasion. on
Saturday it was especially happy in the
decoration is displayed. Both in de-
sign and execution the decoration was
the work of Mrs. Amy l.. King. Above
American and Hawaiian flags were
draped to give the suggestion of an i'm
mense tent. TO carry out this idea the
supporting columns We're hidden with
banana and ii leaves and bamboo Civ
ing an air of lightness to the effect.
Guests We're received on one of the
lanais. Refreshments were served on
the lawns.
