Burton In An AmiabIe flood

United States Senator ]. r. Burton,
chairman of the Senatorial InVestiga-
tion committee arrived on the Sierra
this morning, twelve days ahead of the
rest of the commission. He is accom-
panied by his wife. by DR.. Dennis w.
King of Joplin, Missouri, his secretary,
and by Mr. De Knight of Washington,
ID. c. who accompanies the senator with
the view of making a pleasure trip.
Senator Burton, who has been located
in a suite of rooms in the mauka-eN,a
corner of the ground floor of the Ha-
waiian hotel, was enthusiastic over his
first impressions as was Mrs. Burton
A carnation and MALE lei lay on a cen
ter table in the apartments and the
senator made the wreath the keynote of
a galaxy of delightful things about his
first glimpse of the territory.
You can say" he said, "if you want
to say anything, that Mrs. Burton and
myself are not going to leave here until
we are forced to do so. Our approach TO
the islands and the glimpses we have so
far obtained have been far beyond our
expectations. There is nothing like a
personal visit to sum up territory. We
had splendid weather on the voyage,
charming company, a perfect COM
mander in Captain Houdlette and, well
to show you the humor / am in, just
make out your estimates for what you
want in the territory and youll get IT.
You say you want money to run this
delightful community and you certainly
will have TO have it. l am going Ia
enjoy myself until Senator'S Foster and
Mitchell arrive on the second and then
/ am going to make them do all the
work"
Speaking more seriously, Senator

| ISLANDS
TO BE LOOKED AFTER

WASHINGTON, August 1O.-Orders
have been issued by the Navy De-
partment providing for a visit of the
cruiser Adams to Wake Island and
the Midway Islands, in the Pacific
ocean, belonging to the United States.
This action has been determined on as
a result of a recent communication
received at the department from the
master of the transport Buford, who
reported that while approaching Wake
Island in June last he discovered 1t
inhabited by a party of Japanese.
While the steamship Nero was making
a survey of the Pacific for a transpa-
cific cable in 1899 she discovered the
Midway islands were also inhabited by
Japanese, which was somewhat sur
prising, as the islands always have be-
lOnged to this Government.
The Adams will be in charge of
Commander Fox, who will make an
investigation of the circumstances con-
nected with the case Of both Wake
Island and the Midway Islands, and
if it is ascertained that the Japanese
have settled in those islands with the
sanction of their Government with a
view of laying the basis for a claim
of sovereignty over them, represen-
tations will be made to Japan on the
subject for the purpose of securing
their removal.
The Japanese explained that they
had been left on the island by a Yoko-
hama schooner and that they were en-
gagged in fishing. The navy official sug-
gested that this statement was intend
ed to deceive and that the men were
really pearl hunters.

Burton stated that he intended to re-
main here until the end of September
"and then" he said, II am going back
to Kansas and campaigning. The other
two members of the committee will ar
rive on September and l shall not at
tempt any work until they arrive.
1--WE have come down here to look into
the needs and requirements of the ter
rtory but we have made no definite
plans at present. 1t would have been
practically impossible to have done so
until the situation had been personally
overlooked. Congress is well disposed
towards granting Hawaii all that is
necessary but | cannot discuss matters
upon which I am not yet informed. A
wide ground has to be covered, social
and economical. Politics will be es-
chewed by the committee"
Senator Burton is registered from
Abilene, Kansas, his own town. The
Chronicle of San Francisco quotes Sen
ator Burton as making the inquiry into
Liliuokalani's claims on the crown lands
a chief object of the committee. THE
committee" said the senator will make
a thorough investigation of affairs and
conditions in the islands and, among
other things, as provided by the Sem
ate's resolution, will enquire into the
crown lands question. This requires
the committee to ascertain the area,
9)ndition, quality and value of the
crown lands, the rents and other pro-
ceeds received therefrom since January
II, 1898; whether or not the former
Queen now possesses any legal or equit-
able interest in the same, and whether
or not she has any claim against the
United States by reason of having part
ed with her title to the property"

CABLE COMPANY
NOT SATISFIED

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, August o.
President Roosevelt today made for
NAL announcement that he had granted
the application of the Commercial Pa
cihc Gable Company to land a cable on
the shores of the United States, on the
Islands of Hawaii and Guam and in
the Philippine Islands, and for access
to certain soundings and profiles in the
possession Of the Navy Department.
NEW YORK, August 11.-GeOrge w.
Clapperton, traffic manager for the
Commercial Pacific Gable Company,
says, according to the Times, that the
company is not satisfied with the con-
ditiOns imposed in the memorandum
made public Saturday by President
Roosevelt regarding the laying of the
cable between San Francisco, TIE
Philippines and China, and adds that
a reply to the Presidents terms would
be made in a few days. Clapperton was
not prepared to say what the COM
that it would be in the nature of a
counter proposition, embodying certain
notifications of the Administrations
proposals
One of the chief points over which
the company is dissatisfied is that re-
ferring to the control of the line by
the Government in time of war or
when war is threatened, because in
the terms submitted by the President
no compensation is provided for. In
regard to other clauses the company
is disposed to meet the wishes of the
President, with few minor changes
in detail. A draft embodying the COM
pany's various objections to the clauses
added by the President to the proposed
contract has been drawn up by the
company's counsel, William w. Cook.

Officials of the Japanese legation do
not believe their Government has coun-
tenanced any action on the part of it's
subjects infringing upon American SOW
ereigntyy in the Pacific. Japan is anx-
ious to maintain the most cordial rela-
tions with the United States.
The Adams viii also touch at the
Hawaiian Islands and will visit each
one of the group.
KNOXVILLLE (Tenn.), August H.
In connection with the Associated
Press dispatch to the effect that the
United States cruiser Adams had been
ordered to visit wake island immedi-
Gtaly in order to contrOvert the settle
ment made upon it by Japanese, a let
ter has been received here from Nathan
Cannon, son of Alderman George
A. Cannon, which gives an entirely
different status of affairs at Wake
island from that which was reported
to the Navy Department. Cannon is
now in Manila, but on June % he
was at Wake island. The relevant
paragraph is:
Sunday, June %, 8 p. m.-We passed
Wake island about $50 p. m. 1t was
supposed to be uninhabited, so when
we sighted a sailboat coming out to
meet us we were very much stirred up
at finding some half-starved cast
aways. The boat contained five Jap
anese. They stated they had been on
the island three months. Their ship
had been wrecked
Cannon was a passenger on the
transport Buford when the letter was
written and his information was first
hand.

John ~. ThurstOn a Visitor

EX-United States Senator John M.
Thurston was a passenger for Homo
lulu on the Sierra being ex-officio, a
member of Senator Burton's party.
Senator Thurston is not connected in
any way with the committee, although
the coast press has read a Significance
in his visit at this particular time.
Senator Thurston is now engaged in
the practice of law at Washington
and acknowledge that he is here to at
tend to private legal matters. These
affairs, it is claimed by the Californian
press, are connected with the interests
of Eastern sugar men, and therefore
with the question of the claimed crown
lands on which plantation property is
situated.
The question of the crown lands is
one of the matters to be taken up by
the Senatorial Commission and his trip
on the same steamer with Senator Bur-
ton was thought significant, although
Mr.. Thurston disclaimed having any
thing to do with Liliuokalanis inter-
ests and claims. To a local interview
er Mr.. Thurston spoke as follows:
Il am not a live senator you know,
only an 'eX. | have come down here
for only a short while and expect to re-
turn on September the ninth. 1t has
peeH pldyluIly suggested thaL ShOuIu
remain here and return as delegate, but
l think the only COnsidera ton that
would tempt me would be the question
of the mileage. l used to get a good
round sum coming from Nebraska, but
Mr.. Wilcox must have a nice little
purse for his trip. 1 have some busi-
ness here which l am not at liberty to
disclose. 1 also expect to get some
sun basking and sea bathing during
the few days which I shall spend here.

SUGAR PLANTERS COMBINE.

NEW YORK, August "a special to
the Sun from New Orleans says: F. M.
Morrill,, representing the New York and
Philadelphia interests which have re-
Gently amalgamated the various street
railroads, gas and electric light COM
panies of New Orleans into one cor
poration, with a capital of $50, 900, 900,
has undertaken at the request of some
of the largest sugar planters in Louis
lana, combination of all the sugar in
terests of the State.
Morrill, said: 81 do not see how the
planters can fail to combine their in
terests in the near future. There is
little use in attempting to dodge the
prospect of Cuban reciprocity, and when
Cuban sugar is admitted into this coun-
try on anything like an equal basis with
Louisiana sugar, the planters of this
State will find combination their only
method of salvation"

THE PYTHIAN PARADE.

SAN FRANCISCO August 14.-San
Francisco wore a holiday aspect yes
terday. The Pythian parade of the af-
ternoon was the loadstone that attract
ed more than $4,000 people to the main
thoroughfares, where they stood for
more than two hours awaiting the COM
ing of the procession. In point of size
and brilliancy the parade was not the
equal of many seen here before, but its
quasi military character vested it with
an interest that served to render it a
highly satisfactory spectacle to the
multitude.

ious to see and the meeting with whom
will be one of the pleasures of my trip.
There is Judge Estee who was perma-
nent chairman of the convention that
nominated Harrison when 1 was tenn
porary chairman, and Dr. Galbraith,
chief surgeon for the Union Pacific
Railroad when 1 was chief counsel for
that road"
Senator Thurston is a great believer
in the good that will accrue to Hawaii
from the cable. He anticipates that
the passenger traffic to the islands will
be increased ten-fold. He states that
the prospects are bright for the nom
ination of President Roosevelt two
years hence, and that he is the logical
candidate of the Republican party.
Bryan is, he adds, still a strong candi-
date, and has a large Democratic fol-
lowing.
The senator takes active interest in
national politics, and according to the
S. F. Chronicle, a strong supporter of
the administration, including the pres
idential attitude on Cuban reciprocity.
Senator Thurston states that the Re
publican convention of his own state,
Nebraska, "unqualifedly endorsed the
present. administration in the face of
the adverse attitude of the two Nebras-
kan senator's" He is, with Mrs. Thurs
ton, located at the Hawaiian Hotel.
While Senator Thurston is reticent
about the object of his visit, it is be-
lieved, upon good authority to be in
connection with the Kohala Ditch pro-
position. He is known to have legally
aided j. p. McCrosson when the latter
was in Washington in the interests of
the Hawaiian Ditch bill, which is con-
tidently expected to pass successfully
through Congress next session.

KOREA MAKES FRISCO.
Gaelic is Rushing Along with New
Boats Crew

The S. S. Gaelic, Captain Finch ar
rived yesterday afternoon from the
Orient, nearly day ahead Of time. The
vessel is being rushed to San Francisco
as rapidly as possible in order that she
can get the Chinese crew intended for
the S. S. Korea in that port, in time to
enable the Korea to sail August &c.
When the Gaelic sailed at 10 o'clock last
night, it was thought certain, barring
accidents, that she would make San
Francisco in time to make the transfer
of the crew, so that the Korea could
get away nearly or about on schedule
time.
The crew numbered 1875 Chinese and
will be differed by VIII te men. The Ko-
rea reached San Francisco the morning
of August H. SO days from New York.
She had an uneventful trip. This news
was brought this morning by the Sierra
which arrived from San Francisco.

If You Are Conscious of
Failing Strength and
Energy this Month,
Make Use of
Paine'S Celery
Compound
No Other Medicine Can Guar
antee Such Happy Results.

Men and women, young and DID, OF
every rank in life, freely admit that they
are more conscious of overtaxed nervous
strength in the hot weather than at any
other season.
When such a condition is experienced
Paine's Celery Compound affords advan-
tages and results that no other remedy
can offer with honesty. 1t vigorously
cIeanses the blood and regulates tardy
circulation. 1t strengthens and en-
courages the kidneys and enables them
to filter from the bloodf all waste and
morbid matters; it secures strong, hrm
nerves, gives sweet and natural sleep to
the nerve-tired and brain-weary. In a
word Paine's Celery Compound is a true
summer life giver and health builder.

Baptist Publication Society, III Wabash
Avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, says:

ments after that week and gained all the
time. From the start my appetite i'm
proved and l assimilated my food and
increased in weight. The Compound
strengthened my voice also, preventing

very noticeable effect was the strength
