WASHINGTON, D. C.-Sr ecial-Ad-
Journment of the extra session will
come early next week. probably Tues
day or Wednesday. according to lead
Srs OF the House, who today seem 10
nave charge of the situation.
The failure of the House late yester-
day TO override the Presidents veto
on the wool bill and the free list bin
has put a crimp in the plans for
further tariff revision, although the
House probably Will accept the cotton

it adjourns.
The Ways and Means Committee met
TINS morning for final conference on
the cotton bill, to which the Senate had
added the iron and steel schedules and
the chemical schedule. The Demo
cratic members OF the committee met
last night and tentatively decided 10

bill will pass the House Monday, will
go to the President Tuesday and Con-
gress will then be ready TO quit

ARMY and NAVY
ROOSEVELT ORDERS
WE'RE TOO STRENUOUS

WASHINGTON. Dec. II. - The
strenuous exercises for naval officers
prescribed under the Roosevelt adj
ministration has failed in its purpose
in the opinion of Secretary of the
Navy Meyer, and a general order was
issued today greatly modifying the
severity of the physical tests.
Under the old orden every officer of
the navy and marine corps was re-
quired to walk fifty miles within
three days every six months, the ac-
tual walking time TO, be within TWEEN
ty hours total; or be might ride one
hundred miles on a. bicycle within
three consecutive days the actual
riding time to be within fifteen hours,
or he might ride a horse ninety miles
within three days, actually riding 712
hours on each of two days and 6
hours in one day.
The bicycle and horseback rides
have been abandoned and a simple
walking test established. This walk
is to be of 25 miles in two consecutive
days, five consecutive hours being al
lowed for each day, and the walk for
each day Q2R miles, not to be com
pleted in less fhan four hours. In tho
tropics the distance walked and time
required will be two-thirds of those
above named.

APANESE GIRLS
School IS Open
Emperor of Japan Sends I'm
perial Order of instruction
to Hawaii.

In the presence of the Imperial or
der Of instruction, received from En-
peror Mutsuhito of Japan, which was
hung on a conspicuous place on the
wall yesterday the Japanese Board
ing School for Girls on South street,
was dedicated yesterday afternoon.
The ceremony was in charge OF
Rev. Y. Ito and Principal Nagai of
the school. They were assisted by vol
unteers who came from all parts OF
Honolulu.
The Hawaiian band under the lead
ership of Captain Berger, stationed at
the entrance OF the school premises
played several Oriental selections. AT
one o'clock the large assembly room
on the second floor was crowded to
the door by spectators. They listened
with interest to the reading of the En-
perors orders Of instruction, which
orders, by the way, are seldom re-
ceived by any institution of learning.
Japanese Consul-General Uyeno
who was expected to be present. was
represented by Secretary Ito of the
Consulate. Both Mr.. Ito and secre-
tary Naito of the Consular staff made
able speeches, upon the educational
progress of the japanese in Hawaii,

A. N. BROWN IS
PARADE MARSHAL
Director Wall Names Chief Of
flCer With C. F. Chilling
worth Assistant.

Director Wall has appointed as
marshal of the Floral Parade Ar
thur M. Brown, with Charles f. Chill
lingworth as assistant marshal. Both
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Chillingworth
have had experience in this kind OF
work in former parades, which is SUI
fcient guarantee that the parade
will be handled in first-class shape.
1t is possible that there may be a
number of changes this year in the
line of march and in the manner of
formation. 1t has been suggested by
several that the start could be made
by the formation of the parade on
the square formed by the junction of
King, Richards and Merchant street,
with the various component organiza-
tions resting on these side streets.
1t has also been proposed to put
the automobile section in the rear
of the horse and foot sections of the
parade, in order that the whole may
be kept intact and not scattered over
the entire line of march, as has been
the case in some former parades. OBJ
lection, however will probably be
made to this proposal by the automo-
bile owners on the grounds that the
motor cars can not be run on such
low speed without injury to the en-
gines.
The matter of policing the streets
and keeping the street cars from
breaking the formation still receives
the attention Of Director Wall and
his committees, but will probably be
settled in a very short time, since
everybody concerned is anxious that
the parade shall be held under the
most suspicious circumstances.
The Fifth Cavalry, which it was
lately learned had cause for com
plant with reference to the policing
of the streets and interference from
street cars and automobiles while
their march was in progress, has been
practically guaranteed that this trou-
BILE will not occur this year.
Sheriff jarrett states that he con-
templates no difficulty whatever in
protecting the paraders from the
crowd of sightseers. He explains
some of the difficulties of last year
by the fact that a considerable por'
ton of his force had to be withdrawn
that day to the waterfront, to take
care of threatened trouble with the
Russian immigrants, he himself not
being able to spare the time to even
see the parade
