Despatch 10 the associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-Commander James s.
Thornton, of the steamer Kearsarge reports TO the
navy Department from Tahita, Society Islands,
having sailed from the Chilian port OF Tucahuano in

quesas group on June 9, where he called upon the
protectorate Government This is the only island Of
the group occupied by the authorities of the French
protectorate. The Governor is assisted In his NUM-
cipa authority by brigader and two gems darmes.
No military force is now there.
The harbOr of Massachusetts, Bay Is easy OF access
well sheltered, and sufficiently commodlous for
practical commercial purposes. Rough fortlhcatons
were erected by Captain David Porter, in 1913, COM
manding the entrance there, and still remain, with
the addition of water battery constructed by the
French facing The entrance. They had ten heavy
guns mounted on pivots in the battery, and twenty
two lighter guns in the works. All these were, now
ever, sent to Tahiti several years ago.
Massachusetts, Bay was formerly a faYorite resort
of the American whaling fleet, but latterly they
seem to prefer the neighboring island OF Magda-
lena. The Kearsarge sailed from MiRa Hica on June
I, arriving at Tahiti the 14th. Onicers and crew
all well.
HOnOrs TO the Duke of Edinburgh.
II. b. Nj. ship Galatea, commanded by the Dnke

COUNCIL CHAMBERS RENOVATED.-After fitting
recess from their arduous labors, Select Common
Councils will reassemble for business on Thursday,
the 10th inst. Their rooms have been altered and
repaired during the vacation, and they will wear
jaunty air of freshness at that time. Select Council
Chamber has been enlarged and improved. The
eastern wall of the ante or committee room That
divides the Select from Common Chamber has been
taken down, and while the width of that room has
been considerably lessened Select Council Chamber
gains thereby additional oOrage for the members OF
about seven feet, and standing room for spectators
of about six feet. Altogether the ground moor OF
the Chamber has been increased about fourteen feet
at the western extremity of the room. The gallery
has been reduced in width about two feet, but is
being extended in length at either end, and Will
accommodate about the same number of spectators
as formerly. There will be two instead OF three
rows Of benches in the gallery. A new walnut rail-
ing has been erected in front OF the gallery and the
spectators space the oor which Is directly under
the gallery has been separated from the main moor
by handsome aud substantial railing. new stair
Way has been erected TO the gallery and the TWO
galleries of Select and Common Chambers are
reached by the same stairway, and are connected
one with tile other by doorway, so that spectator,
standing in this doorway, can hear and see all that
transpires in either Chamber. This is valuable
feature when some important topic like the location
or suspension of a fire company, or the putting
through of some highway job swells the bosoms OF
members so that the pent-up feelings are too big lol
free utterance and the deCamatory powers OF the
| orators have full swing.
