graves.
Impressive oeremonies were conduct?

an ex Confederate soldier. He received
his appointment at the request of the
Union soldiers of Iowa, and I am proud
of this fact. ' '
There was a small but impressive
service in connection with the cere?

The rapid increase of Japanese immi?
gration into Hawaii has attracted the
-erions attention of the authorities ut
Washington, it is said, of late, and
several ottn'ial inquiries have been set
on foot to learn the extent of the Inva?
sion and how it can be checked
The reports received hy the immigra?
tion authorities are in line with press
dispatches, stating that the inllux is
steadily increasing.
One official report from a United
States inspector, stationed at Honolulu,
states that 12j)i7o Japanese have arrived
since the islands were aunexed to the
United States. He also reports that in
his opinion the total population of
Asiatics hy the end of the present year
will exceed the total population of all
other nationalities. Another offloial
report comes from an inspector
on the Pacific coast, who was
sent ou a special mission to in?
vestigate the cause of tins influx He
visited Japan as well as Hawaii, and
the facts be obtained are expected to
shed much light on the causes leading
up to the recent heavy arrival of Asi?
atics. Thus far only his preliminary
report has been received, and this, it
is understood, bears out the previous
reports as to the extent of this immi?
gration and the menacing results which
may arise from it.
The inspector at Honolulu states that
one of the effects of the heavy increase
of Japanese is to bring on race conflicts
between the Chinese and Japanese, the
former l>oing gradually outnumbered as
the dominant Asiatic force in Hawaii
In a reoeut clash, it is stated by the
report, several Chinese were killed and
a number wounded
This is another one of the glorious re?
sults of our new foreign policy.

The Washington,D. 0.,Star of Thurs?
day says : It is generally conceded
among men in Washington who have
watched through many speaker
ship campaigns that if the
Ohio delegation decide today to go
for Henderson of Iowa as it is ex
pecfed they will, his election may be
counted on as certain The action of the
Minnesota delegation in indorsing the
I iwa candidate, was in accordance with
the anticipation of Gen Henderson's
friends, and they say that their claims
will all be found to be well ground?dt
Ohio Is expected to go to Henderson to?
day, and Michigan and Indiana are
counted on to follow. When it reaches
that point, if (Jen. Henderson's friends
have made no miscalculation, it will
not be surprising if delegations of other
states, not already oommitted, come
tumbling over one another to get into
the swim.
The prevailing opinion among the
old campaigners in Washington is that
if there is no slipup in Ohio today
Henderson will have distanced every
one else in the race and will oome in an
easy winner
I Those who have been betting on Hen?
derson from the start are joyous over
the situation, and many who have a
decided preferauce for one of the other
candidates, admit that it looks now as
if Henderson could not be defeated.
