Senator Mitchell: Nothing of the

Governor endeavored to conciliate the
natives"
Quoting from the House journal re-

executive relations, but would con-

at o'clock. Judge Whiting, however,
presented the members of the United
Chinese Society who presented a me-

Attorney General Dole will appear,
followed by Commissioner Gill. Sem
ator Michel announced that all in
tending witnesses must be on hand
Monday morning, prepared to remain
