The commission went to work immedi-

Mr.. Morgan secretary. The commission

Tanu and then with Mataafa Tanu
was not at first recognized as king by
the commission.
After Mataafa's men had turned in
1900 rifles and the Tanu supporters 1000
more, Tanu was invited on board the
Badger. There he was informed that
the commissioners supported the deci-
sion of Chief Justice Chambers and
that Tanu had been king of Samoa ever
since the decision had been rendered.
Tanu said that he was willing to do
anything for the good Of Samoa, and at
the request of the commissioners, re-
signed his kingship to them.
The commission Is now engaged in
formulating its report. The abolition
of the kingship will be feature of
the report, also the abolition of the Of
flee of president of Apia. This munic-
ipality is to be governed by a council
and mayor. This will do away with
an official drawing $4,000 a year, and an
office which has been a source of much
friction here. The licenses and tax
rates of Apia will remain as formerly.

will remain as under the treaty.

With the American Cycle Club was a
tandem covered with a canopy of flags
and decorated with bunting and flags,
and having numerous colored lanterns
hanging from the sides. Several of the
riders of this club were dressed in Ar

appearance.
Ten Of the Century Clubs riders had
arches over the wheels, fastened to the
front and rear forks and hung with
lanterns. Chief among the Worcester
Cycle Clubs decorations was tandem
surmounted by large red balloon with

candles on the inside From q sort Of
bowsprit streamefs OF white and blue

The color bearer OF the Viking Club

FIND OUT YOURSELF.


Why ask a physician to find out whether
your kidneys are diseased? Take a glass
tumbler and fill it with urine. If there is
a sediment after standing "a hours, your
kidneys are sick. If you have a desire
to urinate often. a pain in the back, or
If your urine stains linen, you should at
once take DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, as delay Is dangerous. There is
no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for any and
all diseases of the Kidneys, Liver, Blad-
der and of the urinary passages, Rheu-
matism, dyspepsia or constipation of the

OVER TWO MILES IN LENGTH.

The long-anticipated lantern parade
of the Associated Cycle clubs was held
last evening, and the unusual special
Gle will be long remembered by those
who saw it.
All the clubs save one participated.
The Newport cycle club carried off
the palm for the most effective foat
in the parade, and the Centurys for
the uniformity and general appearance.
The Woreesters were awarded the
honor of having the greatest number in
line, and the balloon that preceded the
line was applauded for its artistic CT
feet.
The Stearns Cycle club was accorded
a cordial reception during the progress
of the parade, and their decorations,
though simple, were effective.
The whole parade numbered about
500 and when moving properly, spread
out, measured about two miles in
length.
The whole effect of the parade was
marred by the actions of few rowdies
