CHEAP LABOR GOES THEIE In Large Numbers and Threatens to Become a Difficulty—Territori al Form of Government. Bj Associated Press San Francisco, Oct. I—Senator Cullom, one of the commissioners sent to Hawaii by the United States government to ex amine into the conditions and affairs of the islands and report as to the form of government that would be most suitable and who arrived in this country on the steamer Gaelic, says that the commission has concluded its labors and as a result of their observations they will recommend, a territorial form of government, different from that of the territories in the United States—modified to suit the conditions in Hawaii. They will give particular atten tion to the changes necessary in the land, labor and navigation laws. Senator Cullom was averse to going Into details on the scope of the legislation that will be recommended. He said; “After arriving at the Hawaiian islands we met many people of various conditions and views whose sentiments were learned with interest. We visited the different Islands of the group for the purpose of studying their resources and capabilities and the social and domestic condition of their inhabitants.We were particularly in terested in ascertaining the temper of the people toward the United States. ‘MVe investigated the situation carefully with a view of determining the questions we were specially charged with—what leg islation in our judgment we ought to re commend congress to enact to make the best government for the newly acquired territory. “While the commission was substantial ly determined the nature of the legislation that ought to be recommended to congress' it is still not disposed to consider the sub ject entirely closed for the reason that the report has not yet been written and for the further reason that the Island members of the commission—Judge Frear and Presi dent Dole—expect to come on to Washing ton in November, when I, as chairman, In tend to make a report to the full commis sion after which the bill and report will be submitted' to,the president and to con gress when it convene*. “I have stated that the commission will undoubtedly recommend a territorial form us government, but not cue ordinary form that we have usually adopted for the man agement of our home territories, the con ditions being so different In the matter of location and constituency. “There are many interests to provide for. Some do not want the navigation laws changed. They prefer to permit shipping advantages to be accorded to others ‘beside our country. We have likewise received petitions asking that none but American registered vessels be permitted to trade between the islands and other American ports. “One of the most important questions is that of contract labor Importation. I think that the laws now in force tn the United States will apply to Hawaii as well. It would not do to have laws radically differ ent for one little patch of country. In Hawaii those interested say they are at tempting, since annexation, to prevent the importation of large numbers of Japanese and Chinese under labor contracts. Maybe they are, but I know that on the steamer we came up on there arrived from Japan 600 Japanese. It seems probable that they are rushing in now in anticipation of a change in the immigration yaws.

SHARP BIDDING FDRJDNITORS Will Take Place Today in Washington and Excites Considerable Interest. ABOUT 1 MILLION Will Be the Cost It is Thought, the Price Being Materially Increas ed as Result of Competition. By Associated Pres*. New York, Oct. 1. —A special to the Tri bune from Washington says: The opening of bids at the navy depart ment for the four single turret coast de fense monitors, the Arkansas, the Connect! cut, the Florida and the Wyoming, promi ses to demonstrate that a remarkably large number of ship building plants are pre pared to undertake the construction of large war vessels and to show that ship building is growing more rapidly in this country than has been fully appreciated. Naval officers have been surprised at the interest manifested by concerns which have heretofore hesitated to undertake govern ment work with its rigid specifications, and are gratified -with the apearance of several new establishments In the competition. From the number of representatives mak ing inquiries at the navy department, it ia expected that at least eleven companies will present proposals. In fact, the Cramps, of Philadelphia, is the only com pany on the Atlantic coast that has given 1 no intention of particlpat : ng. The prospective competitors are the W. H. & A. Flethcher Co., of Hoboken, N. J.; who built the Puritan, the Priscilla, the Plymouth and other sound steamers, con structing the hulls at Newburg, who have heretofore undertaken no government con tracts; the American Steel Company, of Sparrows’ Point, Md., who have just secur ed their first contract for torpedo boat de stroyers; the Delaware River Ship Building Co., of Chester, Pa., owners of the plant of the late John Roach, who built the first vessel of the new navy and several of the double-turrett monitors in that yard; the Harlan & Nellingsworth Co. ,of Wilming ton, Del., who built the Amphitrite years ago; the Union Iron Works, of San Fran cisco, who built the Oregon, the Olympia, the Charleston, the San Francisco, the Montery and several other large gun boats, smaller cruisers and torpedo boats; the Newport News Co., contractors for four first-class battleships and as many gun boats; the Columbia Iron Works, of Bal timore, Md., builders of the Detroit, the Montgomery and several torpedo boats; Lewis Nixon, cf Elizabethport, N. J., build ers of the Annapolis; Bath Iron Works, (Bath Maine, builders of the Kathadtn, the Castine, the Machias and torpedo boats, and John Dialogue < of Camden, N. J., who managed, after exasperating delays to fin ish the gunboat Princeton. Considerable curiosity is shown by the naval authorities regarding the amount of money the bidders will demand for the four vessels for which congress appropria ted $1,250,000 each. This is, however, to include the cost of the armor, the later ma terial to be purchased separately by the government. The weight of the arnw on each of the new monitors is about three hundred tons and at the limit of price for armor fixed by congress of S4OO a ton, this reduces the amount available to bidders for each ship to about $1,125,000. Strong hopes are entertained in the light of the recent contracts for the battleships, that none of the bids presented tomorrow will exceed $1,000,000, and considering the number of competitors, in the opinion of many of the officials, the four vessels will not cost the government over $900,000 each, exclusive of guns. $3.00 Hats.

I—The1 —The American to day prints an article from the pen of Wharton Barker, on the 'possibilities of future trade relations between this coun try and China. In the course of his article Mr. Barker, writes; “So strict is the Chinamen in all his commercial dealings that the scrupulous exactitude with which he keeps his bar gains is proverbial throughout the east. The name of the Chinese merchant is a system of honor. And in this lies tho hope of China, the opportunity of China to es cape the dangers that confront her. “That hope is the development of China by Americans and Europeans with in con junction with the Chinese, a development the profits of which will not merely accrue to the foreigner but enrich and aggrandize China. While refusing to permit develop ment in away that means despoilment she must invite development in away that means enrichment. And the reinstatement of the Chinese party is an earnest of this, and earnest that the foreigner, the Amer ican, the European of energy and ability and willing to cast in his lot with China, grow up with China, will be invited into China to work in conjunction with Chinese for the development of China’s resources and Wealth producing capabilities. And here the reputation of the Chinese mer chant for honesty will stand China in good stead for, because of it Americans and Europeans will be attracted toward alli ances with such Chinamen rather than be repelled. “Capital in China for China’s develop ment is not wanting. What is wanting Is the energy, the enterprise, the skill that can successfully direct the building and operating of railroads and local industrial plants. It Is this skill and energy that China wants, it is this skill and energy that she must gain before her own capital will become available for her own develop ment, for the investment of that capital awaits the assurance of turning out re muneratively that such skill and energy alone can give. So the opportunities for Americans and Europeans to to enter into partnership with Chinese for the develop ments of China are great. They must have enterprise and skill, they must command capital that they may put into the part nership as an earnest of their good faith, as an assurance of their own faith in their own ability. With such assurance they can command Chinese capital and as they build up China build up their own fortunes.’’ BUSINESS SESSION Os the American and Spanish Peace Com missions Held this Morning.

Macon Will Be Represented at the Convention to Be Held in Washington. 'Rev. F. F. Reese, who is now in Balti more in attendance on the convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will next week go to Washington to attend the gen eral convention of the Protestant Episco pal church in Washington. Among the interesting discussions that are looked for at the convention is on a proposed change of the title of the church to the “Holy Catholic Church,” or “The Church in America.” The present title of the church is regarded as a misnomer, and at a number of conventions abortive ef forts have been 'made to effect a change. It is not probable that the movement will have any better success this time. Al though the majority of the clergy may favor such a change the lay delegates will vote down the proposition. “There is considerable to be said in favor of a change of name to one that is more proper and more expressive, but the time has not yet come, if it ever does. When the present title was adopt'd the church was weak, there was a bitterness against the Church of England, and al though the church had most closely ad hered to apostolic principles and practice and could justly have been termed ‘The Church of America,’ it was realized that conditions were so adverse as to render 'that course inadvisable. The name ‘Pro testant Episcopal’ was selected as express ing the protest against errors engrafted on the apostolic church by the Roman Cath olic Church, and as indicating adherence to the original Episcopal for of church governing t. While the church has pors pered, has grown rapidly in membership, in wealth, in good deeds and Christian in fluence, it has not yet reached the point where it can be styled ‘The Church of America,” as some propose. Considerable debate is also anticipated at the convention on mission matters. The Hawaiian Islands are now a diocese under the Church of England. It is to be ex pected that the diocese will simply be transferred to the church of this country. It is probable that it will be decided to inaugurate mission work on a considerable scale in the West Indies and Philippine Islands.
