News From the Senatorial Excursion
to Hawaii.

Not long before Congress adjourned
last summer Senator MITCHELL of Ore
gon caused some of his fellow states
men TO elevate their eyebrows TO the
arc Of amusement by offering a reSolu-
ton for the investig alton of affairs in
the Hawaiian islands during tho recess.
The Senator undoubtedly apprehendcd
the spirit in which his unexpected sug-
gcstion was received for he hastened
to say:
L wish Il understood that could not serve on
the committee even II | were appointed. have
other engagements for the summer. and Therefore
am TO be relieved from the suspicion Of any effort
my part to get up committee for the purpose
OF summer outing
Nevertheless, when the time came TO
sail, Senator MITCHELL discovered that
his other engagements were not of cast
iron, for he went along with the rest
His resolution had gone through, but
not without a slight hitch. On Mr.. For
AKER's motion il was curiouslv referred
TO the Committee to Audit and Control
the Contingent Expenses of the Senate.
That tribunal, through the genial Mr..
JONES of Nevada, reported favorablv,
but Mr.. ALDRICH of Rhode Island OBJ
jected and the resolution was laid over
for several days. Good nature finally
prevailed and Mr. MITCHELL, Mr. BUR-
TON Of Kansas and Mr.. FosI VI of Wash
ington were authorized to make the
journey at the expense of the contin-
gent fund Of the Senate. As we have
remarked, the disintcrestcd promoter of
the excursion went along, too.
At least one of the Hawaiian inyoS-
tigators has now returned TO this con-
tinent for Senator FOSTER was reported
the other day as entertaining the Hon.
CHARLES T. LrriRFIELD of Maine at
Tacoma. Whether Mr.. MITCHELL. and
Mr., BUTTON have finished their labors
we do not know. Probably they have
returned also, for the season for what
Senator MITCHELL described as summer
outings ia about over. The one thing
certain is that during the past three
months the attention Of the great Amcri-
can public has not been concentrated
upon the movements and doings of the
subcommittee for the investigation of
Hawaiian affairs in general Reports nre

MORE NEW POLICE NEEDER
Few Applicants Passed the Last Exam.
When the Papers We're Changed.

The Municipal Civil Service Commission
is arranging to hold another examination
of candidates for appointment to the police
force. As rule. one examination pro-
duccs an eligible list large enough TO satisfy
all demands for two years or so, but at the
last examination. three months ago. less
than 200 candidates passed out of an entry
Of more than 1900. One of the reasons
for this small percentage was the action Of
President Willis l.. Ogden in substituting
fresh set of questions for those originally
prepared. Col. Ogden took this action
because Of knowledge which came to him
just before the examination that the ques-
tons prepared were being offered for sale.
The District Attorneys office has ever
