PROMOTION LETTER DECLARE LEPROSY

In the weekly letter to the Hawaii
an Promotion Committee W. j. Coop
err, the acting secretary, refers to
features in the success OF the com
mittee's propaganda which are diff
ficult to handle. Claiming that the
policy of the committee has always
been conservative and honest, he
goes on to state the embarrassing
problem in question as follows.
1--WE consistently advise persons
against coming here unless they have
means sufficient to maintain them
selves and get away again if they
are unable to find any occupation
lopen which suits them. With the
purely tourist class there is no trou-
| BILE; but in the very nature of things
we are bound to get some of the 9th
er classes. And in the natural order
of conditions we ought to be glad to
get them. They are mostly citizens
American citizens-of the great
middle class, the kind of people that
every community under the Ameri-
can flag needs.
4 realize that this is no new prob
lem, and that this Committee has not
the power to solve it. Still we are
the ones who are daily brought face
to face with the situation, and as citi-
zens l feel that we should at least
give the matter serious consideration,
and the community the advantage of
our superior viewpoint. For this is
zone of the things that cannot be al
tered except by the crystallization of
popular opinion on some course or
policy"
Mr. Cooper gives samples of letters
received, including one from a doctor
in Southern California to Secretary

st. Petersburg.---The Russian col

continuing It's march toward Tabriz,
regardless Of the reported understand
ing between the Shah of Persia and

believes that it would be injudicious

acute and immediate II this pressure
was removed, the expedition will be
kept in Persia until the shah's pledges
to institute a proper government ac.

The expedition is assuming larger

tempIated In addition TO a battalion
of 1000 riflemen and detachments Of

Republican. He was, however, a
man of independence. and often voted
contrary to the wishes of the party

the setting aside of the force bill OF
1892, and he never failed to cast his
vote in the interest of the white met

on that subject.
