Senators Come Seeking Only the
Truth, Not History or
Personalities.
Indications That Much Work Will Be Done by
the. Investigators and That They Will Have
Busy Months Stay in Hawaii

United States Senator J. r. Burton,
of Kansas, and former Senator John
NJ Thurston of Nebraska were among
the most prominent visitors who arriv--
ed by the Sierra yesterday. They are
accompanied by their wives and in ad-
dition DR.. d. w. King, an old personal
friend of Senator Burton travels with
him, while in Mr. Thurston's party is
Carroll Purman, a brother of Mrs.
Thurston. Mr.. Purman will represent
Golfers Weekly while here.
Senator Burton, while the advance
guard of the senatorial commission
which is to investigate affairs in Ha-
wall, came ahead of his colleagues for
the purpose of enjoying a brief pleasure
tour before he gets down to work and
is the guest of honor for a hunting
trip on Hawaii which has been arrang
ed by Col. Samuel Parker. The party
will leave today at noon in the Helene,
which has been held for the purpose
of conveying the party. The return
will be made before the last of the
month, for Senator Burton has made
his plans to be present during the Re-
publican convention.
Until the arrival of the rest of the
commission there will be nothing Off
eiaI done in the matter of the collec-
tion of data upon which the commits
sion will work, but already there have
been many representations made to
Senator Burton during his trip, and he
has acquired fair knowledge of affairs
here, as well as the values which are
to be placed upon many cases which

Il of course cannot discuss the plans
of the commission in the absence of
majority of its members" said Sena-
tor Burton, but I will say that our
mission is to find the facts Personali-
ties will have no place in our hearings.
We will welcome any information that
may be given to US, but we will not
permit personal attacks, nor will we
listen to mere speculation. / hope that
the result of our visit will be the Sc
curing of information which will be of
benefit to Hawaii, for certainly it will
De 10 our advantage to see and hear
everything about the needs of the coun-
try.

simply that / might enjoy a period of
rest and recreation, and the hunting
trip which is planned will be on the
basis of our spending the ten days be-
fore the commissions work begins in
the most pleasurabIe manner possible.

with the people and to learn much
about the islands that will be of help

NEW ZEALAND
MAIL SERVICE

NEW YORK, August IA special to
the Sun from Washington says: The Of
ficials of the Postoffice Department
have again taken up for consideration
the question of the mail schedule be-
tween San Francisco and New Zealand,
with the idea of making some arrange
mehts more satisfactory to large New
York interests having connections in
that part of the world. At present it
takes nine weeks for a letter to be dis
patched from New Zealand to New
York and an answer received, and this
long interval could be practically cut
in half if mail steamers were required
TO remaing but two days longer at San
Francisco. This additional As hours
would permit New Zealand mails to be
dispatched from San Francisco to New
York and an answer received at San
Francisco in time to connect with the
out going steamer
The Postoffice Department has here
tofore been unable to extend salts
factory assurances in answer to numer-
Gus complaints from New York and
Boston. but in view of the fact that
the mail contract with the Oceanic
Steamship Company will soon expire. it
is certain that the unsatisfactory con-
ditions will be remedied.

j. N. SIMS DEAD
OF CHOLERA
Manila. July q. 19O2

Manila, July 81, 1902.
closed a clipping from the Manila Am
erican of today's issue. Sims was well
known in Honolulu, no doubt you are
acquainted with him. The poor fellow
arrived in Manila a few weeks ago and
about ten days ago accepted a position
as advertising manager of the Manila
American. On Thursday, July 18th, he
and I were talking in the corridor of
the Oriente Hotel and I left him about
4:45 o'clock. That same night he was
taken down with cholera at the English
Hotel, where he roomed. He was i'm
mediately removed to the Santiago
CCholera) Hospital, where he died last
night. Sims had stomach trouble very
bad before he took the cholera, and
probably had cholera germs in him
then.
The cholera is very bad and all Am
ericans should use the strictest pre-
cautions. otherwise they are liable to
be taken down. 1 visited Sims twice
at the Cholera Hospital and tried to
cheer him up. although there was no
hope for him. The Elks are going to
bury him. The poor fellow was not any
too weII-fxed.
J. f. KENNEDY.
Following is the clipping:
~. NJ Sims, advertising manager of
The Manila American, died from chol
era at the Santiago hospital at $3.50
D. m. yesterday. Mr.. Sims was taken
sick with the disease last Thursday
hight.
Mr.. Sims was an experienced news
PAPER man, and came to Manila only
hree weeks ago, to take charge of The
Manila Americans advertising depart
nent. He was a young man of the
most temperate habits, and leaves a
mother in his home city, Chicago.
1.-The funeral services will be held
morning at 9 o'clock from
