George Q. Cannon on Hawaiiahs


Honolhla, Jan. 5.-President
George @. Cannon of the Mormoy
church, in an interview publisheH
here, calls attention to the decreases
of the Hawaiian population, and ex-
presses profound regret at what he
terms the S'passing away" of the
Kanaka race.
Mr.. Cannon was here fifty years
ago, when he started the Mormon
church here, and he says that III
making inquiries about the notabfe
old families he found that many OF
them had died out. He thinks the
natives should be separated from
the outside world.

President Cannon intimates that
immortality is killing off the Hawai-
ian race, and the mingling with tho
whites is responsible for such con
diyions.
Mortuary statistics of the islands
show that large infant death rate,
a'ather than a small birth rate, II

had been stated that immediate con-

ance of the plan of the Dubois men
to prevent action on any important

A Pension Mystery.

There is something of a mystery
in regard to the December vouchers
of the old soldiers throughout the
west. The San Francisco pension
agent in a letter to Salt Lake states
that nearly all from that point failed
TO reach his Office. Our local old
soldiers have had the same expert
.ence and nearly all Of them have
had to make duplicate vouchers.
If the strays have affected but one
locality there would have been little
room for speculation, but that
vouchers from all over the country
should fail to reach their destina-
aioa is suggestive of anything, and
may result in an investigation by
the government.
