decided yet to visit Hawaii. Much
would depend upon later developments
as to whether he takes the trip.
The feeling in Congress against the
admission of japanese is undoubtedly
growing, although the agitation of Jap
anese questions has been relegated here
to the background. Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, announced incidentally
in debate not many days ago that he
sympathized with the people of the
Pacific Coast in their opposition to
japanese coolie immigration and that
in his Judgment, they were right In
their contentious. Heretofore, New
England and the East generally has
been very lukewarm on the exclusion
of Oriental laborers Senator Lodge s
statement was all the more significant
as he is a member of the immigration
Commission and also a member of the
Senate Commission on Immigration.
When the Chinese exclusion law was
remodeled and reenacted. Senator Dill.
lingham was one of those who felt that
the legislation was far too drastic and
that it would not be a bad thing if
Chinese, in restricted numbers, were al
lowed to come into the United States
1t would probably be to Hawaii s adj
vantage should he decide to visit the
islands. He is a conservative and
thoughtful Senator, unlikely to take
radical ground and disposed to take
local conditions into consideration. He
will have an active part in framing
whatever immigration legislation Senate
and House enact as result of the
forthcoming recommendations for he is

Sullivan and CordelI Fight Fiji
teen Rounds to
Draw.

Sullivan VS.. Cordell, Is rounds, draw
Wahilani knocks out Friedman In
first round.
Sullivan and Cordell boxed fifteen
rounds to a decision at the Star Theate1
last night and the mill was fast and
hard enough to please the most glut.
tonous of the fans. There was some
gore, just enough to lend color and
eelat to the occasion and as many hard
lands with right and left on both sides
as would put fifteen ordinary unframed
mortals down and out.
Some people seemed to think that
Cordell had the decision on account
of his hand going up before Sullivan s,
but this was a mistake and the rumor
that ran round town last night that
Cordell had won was quite erroneous.
Cordell had much the better of the
middle stages of the fight. He had
Sullivan clinching and blocking repeat
eddy and he tapped the genial Dick q
claret box until Mike Patton g shirt be-
came nicely splattered whenever he was
forced to break the men which he had
to do repeatedly.
In the thirteenth round Cordell rush
ed Dick to the ropes but the latter
sidestepped and Jack ran in to the
ropes. Quick as flash Dick turned
on him and landed peach of right
to the jaw. CordeH swayed but recov-
cred himself. For few seconds it
looked as though Sullivan would get
him, but Cordell was too clever and
the bout ended in a very even manner
with both men working hard.
The theater was well filled with a
very enthusiastic audience that took
the long waits good-naturedly. The
preliminary started at one minute past
nine and lasted less than three minutes.
The main event started just half an
hour later.
The audience was very large and
representative one. One Of the no.
tables present was the genial Monty
Montgomery who was courteous enough
to put space in a large automobile at
the service of the press in returning up
town from the show.
The preliminary was a short and very
onesided affair. Friedman of the Fifth
Cavalry was no match for Wahilanl,
who outpointed him frC1. the very
start.
Friedman was willing enough but
very wild He missed his hard swings
and after two minutes and forty-fve
seconds of fighting, Wahilani landed a
right to the jaw that drew the dream
curtains.
Friedman fell through the ropes with
his head dangling over the edge of the
platform and only the spasmodic heav-
ing of his chest gave any signs of lie.
Mike Patton went through the actions
of counting him out but this was I'M
necessary and the soldier was carried
to his dressing room where he was later

All SAM LOSES.

An impromptu Marathon was run
Friday afternoon on some of the down
town streets, the participants being All
Sam, a feet footed pake and several
police officers of various nationalities.
Viekery won. All Sam lost-which is
the important thing about the matter.
Ah Sam, it seems, tried to put over
a little thing of his own, but failed
TO make proper connections and it fell
through. He was wandering along
Nuuanu street with an eye out for any
thing that looked like profit when he
saw several cases of canned abalones
standing out in front of a Chinese
store. He calmly picked one up, re-
marked to the gentlemanly attendant
that he had been sent after it by the
proprietor of Japanese store, and
actually succeeded in getting some dis
tanee away before the aforesaid G A
came to and blocked the game by max
ing him bring it back and put it down
Ali might have gone well with Ah
Sam still if he had not lost his nerve
and started to run. That was the
signal for a hue and cry that led
through the busy streets of the city
for several blocks until All Sam was
finally run to earth not far from the
waterfront. He was booked at the sta
ton ON a charge of petty larceny.
Yesterday morning Lee Sam appear
ed before Judge Andrade. formally
charged with petty lareeney. Reeogniz
ing the futility of trying to prove hi:
innocence, he pleaded guilty. The fact
that several previous convictions were
recorded against him did not help him
any. The Judge gave him six months

MR.. QUINN HAS A CHIN.

Glenn Quinn has chin,
1t used to have whiskers on it.
But the wind made 'em thinned
And they looked ike strings on a
bonnet.
So he shaved and behaved
Like long lost benediction
He cussed and he fused
"Come again" is our prediction.
Each little hair grew for fair,
But Clemmy did not like 'em,
1t s all off-he's a cough
From the cold winds that did strike
'em.
Mr.. Quinn, we like your chin
It shows character and strength
But that beard we always feared
Had entirely too much length.

Mr. George B. Mcclellan is back from
New York, whittier he went to interest
some of the big transportation compan,
les in the pineapple duties now before
the conference committee of the Sem
ate and House, as paragraphs in the
Aldrich- Payne tariff bill. He was
promised assistance from that quarter
which may be helpful. In the mean
time he has seen three of the Senate
and FIVE of the House eonferees. to
whom he explained the situation. This
was done before their designation as
conferees and was intended to acquaint
them with the situation so that they
could have the information whenever
they should reach the pineapple par
agraphs. He urged the House conferees
to stand by the rates on canned pine
apples which the House voted and ask
ed the Senate eonferees to yield. The
men with whom he talked were natural
ly non-committal and the outcome is
uncertain.
The House rate on canned pineappies
is 50 per cent and one cent a pound:
the Senate rate % per cent. There NAV
be compromise between those rates
and there may be provision for lower
ing the sugar content.
Everything is progressing favorably

to Hawaii and for their leaving San
Francisco August "a As matters look

though it may be few days earlier or
later. Mr.. Mcclellan expects to remain
in Washington till well toward the

varce of the time for the departure
of the Congressional party from there.
Judge Hatch is planning to leave here
soon for the islands.

Dine With President.

Columbia, S. G.. Oct. 28. Be
cause he was asked to pay $40 for
"a plate at the luncheon which will
be given to President Taft on the
occasion Of his visit to this city.
Nov. 6, Senator B. r. Tillnlan has
declined to attend the luncheon and
states that he may not serve on the
reception committee.
Senator Tillman says that while
Columbia is to be the nominal

the State at large to pay for the
presidents entertainment.
The letter il which Senator
TilIman makes these statements is
addressed to the secretary of the
Columbia chamber Of commerce,
who wrote asking Mr.. Tillman if
he would attend the luncheon.
Senator TiIlman says he received
an invitation to send a check for

Business Mems Policy in Claiborne.

A meeting Of the merchants.
bankers and landlords Of Port Glib.
son met and, after considering the
crop and financial situations, adopt
ed the following:
First That it is the sense Of this
meeting that our county will pro-
duce one third or more of full
crop of cotton this season.
Second That far more injury
has been done our cotton crops by
unfayorable weather conditions
than by the boil weevil.
Third That no intelligent, in
dustrious farmer or planter should
be discouraged by the result of
the present season, with an average
season and the boil weevil, we
see that we can produce one-half to
two thirds of crop of cotton and
make our living at home.
Fourth That every honest. care
ful. wide awake, pushing farmer
can be cared for next year. provid-
ed his demands are moderate and
the security good as usual.
Fifth That we look with dis
favor on the moving away Of labor
as our county needs every good
hand.
A motion was then made and
carried that committee draw up
an address to the people along the
lines above suggested.
