GOOD CHANCE To
EXPLORE CHINA
Commercial Guests of Empire
Will Visit Cities Never Seen
by Foreigners Before.

One of the finest opportunities to ex
pIore the empire Of China is offered
in the trip Of Coast chambers Of com
merce to China i'll August, the Homo
lulu Chamber of Commerce also being
asked to send representatives. At yes
terday' bimonthly meeting of the
chamber of commerce the China trip
was discussed. SO far Fred L. Waldron
is the only volunteer for the trip. j.
p. Cooke, chairman of the meeting ex
pressed the hope that others could see
their way clear to represent Honolulu.
This is a remarkable trip said
the chairman, "and it seems to me we
ought to be able to find others who
will attend as representatives, of this
chamber
Mr.. Waldron said he was only too
pleased to 60 as one of the delegates.
1t was stated that Z. c. Brown, former
Iy manager of the Dearborn Drug Com
pany, who is now in China, could be
used as an additional delegate, as he
is still a member of the local chamber.
The Coast representatives will leave
in the Korea on August %. The party
will finally disband at Hongkong on
November Z. Robert Dollars itinerary
and suggestions for the trip, gives some
interesting data. One item is that
mediom-weight clothing will be all right
for the season of the year in which the
representatives will visit the celestial
empire, and also, that the crock coat
and silk hat will be worn at all of
cal functions held in the afternoon
and full dress at all evening functions.
An additional inducement is held out
by Mr. Dollar in that frst-class
souvenir booklet is to be issued in
which will appear a photograph of each
delegate with a short biography APP
pended Mr.. Waldron suggested to the
secretary yesterday that he send on a
picture Of Roosevelt and label it
Fred. L. Waldron.''
Children Not Wanted
Intending delegates who have chill
dren and wish to take them along, Will
have to leave the latter at home as it
is undesirable to take children along
upon this trip The arrangements
committee realizes that this viii prob
ably cut out some desirable delegates,
and if some children have to be taken
along, it has been suggested that they
can be taken along, but will not be
permitted to be taken into the interior
of China. ''but can stay with nurses
al the large treaty ports. 1t will be
absolutely impossible to take children
on the interior trips as there are no
accommodations prepared for this pur-
pose, and if children are brought along
with the party, it must be with the
understanding outlined above.''
Card Etiquette.
Another interesting requirement is
that each member of the delegation
must provide himself with proper call
ing cards, which, under Chinese etl-
quette. will be red on one side and
white on the other, and all of the hon
orarv positions held by the delegate
should be outlined upon the card.
Boxer Rumors.
Owing to the rumors of an outbreak
to Washington to ascertain from the
state department whether or not this
trouble would have any effect upon the
trip. So far nothing has been learned
from san Francisco by the local cham
Der.
The party will visit cities in the in
terror of China which have never be-
fore been looked upon by white men.
The trip is one of the most interest,
ing ever planned for SO large a body
of business men.
Other business transacted by the
chamber was the reading of a letter
from \. f. Griffiths of Oahu College,
who represented the chamber at the
Mohonk conference. 4 vote Of thanks
was rendered Professor Gritfiths for his
attendance.
Resolutions of coincidence, prepared
by special committee. were read and
adopted in memory of ". W. Hall and
w T. Lucas, recently deceased. The
resignation of J. :. Low. formerly rep
resenting Hind, Rolph x Co., was ac
copied
