The cau- lion which this biurnhl has ever ol olssryed, in weighing The accounts which it has received tI Indian difficulties in Arizona, has given it the aseendrney. among the pfeE.iySsnt neSss paper, of ihF Pacific coast, as an agent for the free and fearless distnbution of facts I'm paeguah.e ip the influence 0g islanders sci ah0it by interested parties, an | in sympathy wiIh the ,landered and ahnsed, IL has spoken fcarlessly and manlUlly in defense ui the po- necrs of Arizona; and therefore merits the acknowledgement of our citizens collectively.

Rev. Dr. Edward Y. Hixbee.

Rev. Dr. Edward Y. Hixbee.
This venerable minister Of the Episcopal Church
came TO q sudden death IN this city yesterday. He
was OF the assistant ministers in Trinity chapel
in Twenty fifth street, near Broadway, the up'own
church OF the Trinity corporation. He was many
years connected with Trinity parish, and there was
no clergyman in New York who stood higher
in the Episcopal denomination. He was the
son OF the Rev. David Higbee, and was
born at Morristown, N. J. He passed his
early life In Philadelphia, where he prepared TOR
West Point but having other views did not enter
that institution. After course Of studies with his
father assisted by the Rev. Mr.. Strong, q New Eng
lander, he entered the general Theological Seminary
Of the Episcopal Church In New York, IN 1927.
and graduated in 1880. He was oruained deacon
by Bisnop Hobart in the same year, and 1rst
settled In Maryland. About 1886 he went to
Washington as rector OF Trinity church. Upon tle
unsolicited nomination OF Daniel Webster he was
elected chaplain OF tile Senate during lSS6- He be-
came one Of the assistant ministers OF Trinity
church. New York, June 13. 1887, but did not CON-
mence his duties until the following autumn. He

popular in social life. His own private
hospitality was unbounded. and sincere
GUS appreciation and snectonate sympathies were
among his noted characteristics. DR.. Higbee held q
rich. toned voice ana . forclble, sincere man.
ner. His whole discourse was Invariably per-
which is the best eioquence Of the sincere Heart
He was man OF extensive attachments. but totally
without vanity or even just1aable appreciation OF
good in manner Inc least conspicuous, and could
at no time be drawn into any situation which was
likely tO give him notoriety. His loss Will. be
mOurneu by all who knew him.

TIE GRAND DUKE In BOSTON.
How He Spent the Sabbath-His Visit to
Thomas Concert and the Oh.
seryatory Of Cambridge.

This has been day OF rest for the Russian party.
Whether 1t was because OF the fatigue resulting
from his exertions the past week or from natural
dtsnclination religious worship outside the pale
or his own Church /: would be dinicult to deter
NINE but the Grand Duke has kept himself closely
within the walls Of the hotel all day. few visitors
were received, however, only those whose claims
Of position or previous intimacy demanded such
courtesy, and such as were welcomed made their
stay brief possible consistent with etiquette.
The Grand Duke spent the morning in his own
apartments, and enjoyed the luxuries Of dressing
gown, shippers and cigars to his nearrs content.
Mr. CatacaZy was with him until an hour alter
breakfast, when ne departed for church, leaving
His Royal Highness 10 build Ills own castles, unas-
sisted. through the clouds Of tobacco smoke. The
afternoon was spent IN similarly comfortable
manner. No ceremony was attendant upon the
events OF day, but all seemed for once to have laid
aside the OF state and the msfortunes OF high
rank. giving themselves wholly up to the pleasures
Of solid substantial ard unalloYed rest. The labors
OF the distinguished par ty commenced at seven
o'clock when carriages were taken for the Music
Hall. where a grand musical entertainment had
been provided for their delectatlon. The concert
with his orchestra Of nifty pieces, assisted by the
Handel and Haydn Society, and was a big success,
moe crowded. and The audience was OF a high
character. The programme was as follows
Chorus, "The Heavens are Icing;" "CreatfOn,"
Handel and Haydn Society and TheO lore Thomas
Orchestral; overture "Dcr frelscnutz;" "Allegetto'
(eighh symphony; Beethoven, "Komarinskaja Rus
san Farewell TO the Forrest" unaccompanicd Han
del and Haydn society; Introduction chorus and
march, Loncngrln Wagner; chorus, THANKS be to
GOd,n Elijah, Menielsohn, Handel and Hayden
Society and Theodore Thomas orchestra; Fantasia
on Hungarian airs, Lszt Miss Marie KrcDs and
orchestra; save Maria.n adapted TO the first pre-
lude by Bach, Gounod for vi0lins, harp and orcles
ira; Cosatschoque "Fantasie Sur un Theme du
Cosa iue: chorus. "Hallelujah Messiah" Handel,
and Has dn Society and Theodore Thomas Orchestra.
The Grand Duke appeared very much delighted
at the performance aud afterwards manifested his
approval in an audible manner. At the conclusion
OF the concert he was driven TO Cambridge where
he spent an hour in the Observatory scanning the
peculiar appearance Of "Ursa Majorn and ''Thc
Great Diper." with such other heavenly
consultations as may have attracted his at.
tenton. At one O'Clock ne returned TO the
Revere House. No definite programme has yet
been announced for his movements to- morrow, or
indeed for either or the three days which intervene
before his departure for Montreal. II is stated,
however, mat there Will lie no public exercises but
that the Grand Duke Will be lett 10 follow the bent
OF ms own nclinailOns at his own time and In hts
own way. Such Will probably prove 10 De the fact.

THE PROPOSED NAVY YARD.

The Legislature OF Connecticut appointed q CON-
miitee It's last session 10 induce the location of
the Navy Yard at New London. The Secretary OF
the Navy in response to this committee several
Monitors and some men-0fwar TO lay up that har-
Dor for the purpose OF investigating It's eligibility as
a site for the Navy Yard. The vessels were pre-
vented from entering the river on Thursday by tie
heavy Ice between New London and Norwich; and
this untoward accident has atcted the people Of
New London with deep gloom, because OF hope de-
ferred. Whether the mission will have any paipable
result Is yet to be seen.
