REPORT
ON These ISLANDS

WASHINGTON. December 2e.-A re-
port on japanese conditions in the Ha-
waiian Islands will be made by Frank
p. Sargent, Commissioner of Immigra-
tion, as a result of his recent visit to
the islands.
Commissioner Sargent expressed the
opinion today that there are fewer
japanese in the Hawaiian Islands than
there were two years ago, a greater
number having come to America from
there in that period than have arrived
in Hawaii.
Mkt Saito, the japanese Consul at
Honolulu, intimated to Sargent that
the Japanese Government discouraged
its people from coming to the United
States because of its knowledge of the
conditions existing in this country, es-
pecially on the Pacific Coast.
The Commissioner found the owners
of sugar plantations and other planta-
tions in the islands were in serious
need of labor and that many japanese
were coming to the islands to work on
them. He says that it is the effort OF
the Hawaiian planters to diversity their
labor so far as possible by getting
people from all quarters of the world
A second shipment of Portuguese will
arrive at Honolulu in a short time
Many more plantations would be op-
Grated on the islands If it were possi-
BILE to obtain the necessary laborers.
It is expected that the arrival in the
islands of European laborers will be a
solution of the Hawaiian labor prob
lem

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 23.
AS Congress has adjourned for the
holidays and as the city usually gives
itself over in large part to the observ-
ance of that festive season, the Hawai-
fans here are resting on their oars. The
River and Harbor Committee of the
House is holding meetings during the
recess, however, and those who wants
appropriations for Honolulu and for
Hilo are therefore keeping up their
watch. The river and harbor bill will
be made up probably early in Janu-
ary.
The Notifications bill is also being
made up, but the prospects for Hawaii
have not improved since my last let
ter Much of the delay in agreeing
upon a final plan and in spending the
money appropriated by the last Con-
gress is due to the unexplained action
of Secretary Taft. The army engi-
the line of recommendations by what
was called the Taft board but they
have been halted by the Secretary's
action in sending out Gen. Story, as
stated I'm my last letter, to make an
investigation in Hawaii and the Phil
ippines. Gen. Story is now back in
Washington and is writing his report.
The death of William Haywood,
formerly of Honolulu and long the rep
resentative OF the Planters Associa-
ton here. was announced last week
from Fort Bayard, N. Mex. About a
week before he died Mrs. Haywood,
who has been here with their children.
FASTENED to his bedside, the physicians
having telegraphed her that his recov-
cry was impossible. The remains were
brought to this city, where Mr.. Hay
wood had a vide circle of very warm
friends.
Mr.. George B. Mcclellan, of Homo
lulu, who, besides serving as secretary
to Delegate Kalanianaole and as rep
resentative of the Merchants Associa-
ton, is attending the George Washing
ton University Law School, participat-
ed very successfully last week in a de-
bate on the Annexation Of Cuba Mr..
Mcclellan took the negative side of the
question and was adjudged by COM
mittee Of which Chief Justice Clabaugh
of the District of Columbia Supreme
Court was chairman. to have made the
best presentation. Mr.. Mcclellan will
therefore be one of the debaters of the
George Washington School to meet the
deoaters of the Georgetown Law School
ater in the season.

SUNDAY SERVICES.

Ed. q. T.. Williams preached at the
Christian church last Sunday forenoon
and evening. In the forenoon discourse
he discussed the proper use Of money.
He showd that there was no scripture
for hording wealth, and said that in his
opinion the time would come when it
would be considered disgrace to be
called wealthy. Every man should give
not less than one-tenth of his earnings
to the Lord. He named several of the
millionaire of the country and how deli
gent they were in trying to give away
their wealth.
At the Baptist church Sunday evening
Rev. ]. G. Cook took for his text How
shall we Escape if we Neglect so Great
a Salvation" He urged his hearers to
flee from the wealth to come, take
Jesus as their Savior and be ready for
the Masters call. At the close Of his
discourse there was one addition to the
church by letter. There was also one
addition at the forenoon services.

DEATH OF AN
ESTIMABLE LADY
Mrs. Fanny Lyon, A Former Resi-.
dent of Columbia, Passes Away
At Glasgow.
THE INTERMENT AT THIS PLACE.

While it was known here that the
subject of this writing was lying in a
critical condition at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. j. C. Hutchinson,
Glasgow, KY, the intelligence of her
death, received last Monday morning,
was shock to this entire community.
The end came at o'clock m.
The deceased was born and reared in
Columbia and was lady of high Chris
tian character, whose influence for
good was known in every community in
which she resided. But few women
possessed stronger intellect, and the
Baptist church to which she has been
attached since early girlhood, loses one
of its influential and devoted members.
When about twenty years of age she
was married to Mr. James D. Lyon, in
this place, and of this union there are
three living children-Mrs. Ida Hutch
inson, Glasgow, Messrs. w. R. and R.
j. Lyon, Campbellsville. Her husband
preceded her to the grave June 26,
1882.
During the life of her husband the
deceased lived few years in Lebanon
and since his death she has resided the
greater portion of her time with her
son, Mr.. w. R. Lyon. Campbellsville.
The deceased was sixty-f years old
the 9th of last October, and while
she was never very strong she was
in her usual health until the first of
last week when she became victim of
pneumonia, ending her earthly exist
ence,
The remains reached Columbia this,
TUESDAY at IL o'clock, the
cortege stopping at the home of Rev.
]. C. Cook, where many friends called
to view the remains, and to extend the
hand of sympathy to to those who have
been so sorely bereft.
At o'clock the funeral services were
held in the Baptist church, conducted BY
the pastor of the deceased, Rev. Cat
ton, of Campbellsvihe, assisted by Ed
w. K. Azbill and T. T. Williams, this
place. At the conclusion all that was
mortal of this good woman was laid to
rest beside her husband in the city
cemetery.
To the children, who have given up
their dearest friend, keep your eyes on
the Star of Bethlehem; there will be
another meeting.
The passing of Mrs. Lyon removes
the last member of the family of Mr..
R. L. Jones, who in his life time, was
one of Columbia's highly respected and
substantial citizens.
