A ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The Torpedo Boat Cushing's Unparalleled
Performance.


WASHINGTON, May 5.-The torpedo
boat Gushing arrived at the Washington
navy yard yesterday afternoon at 6 80
O'Clock, having made the run
from New York in twenty-three and
a half hours, a performance that beats
all previous records. She only used one
boiler, with an average pressure of eighty
pounds Of steam, and Notwithstanding
the weather was thick and heavy, made
an average speed of fifteen knots. The
naval officers are enthusiastic over the
performance of the Cushing, and say
her run from Newport to New York,
and then to Washington is unparalleled.
Last Thursday, in coming from New
port to New York, the Gushing made
the distance in six hours and fifty min
utes, thus beating the time the steam
yacht Norther made three years ago by
seven minutes. Moreover, she did this
in the face of head wind and choppy
sea, and in spite of the fact that the
crew were nearly all green men. Her
commander, Lieutenant Winslow, is en-
thusiastic, and says from observation he
believes he can keep up speed of 221a
knots all day. Another remarkable
thing about her run is that only hard
coal was used in her furnaces.

UNEASY DEPOSITORS.
A Run on the Involved Banks at Norris
town. Pa.

NoRRIsTowN, Pa, May 5.-There was
considerable excitement about the
Montgomery National Bank this fore
noon. The offices of the bank and the
Montgomery Insurance Trust and Safe
Deposit Company are in the same build
ing. The trust company had a heavy
run, and at 10 80 O'Clock suspended pay
ment, awaiting the promised arrival of
cash. At l O'Clock this afternoon no
cash had arrived. The officials say if the
money is received all will be right; if
not, receiver may be necessary. They
say the depositors are amply secured.

THE ELKS.
Litigation Over the Meeting Place of the
Grand Lodge.

Grand Lodge.
New York, May 5.-Justice Barrett
today granted temporary injunction
restraining the Elks from holding their
annual meeting this year in Cleveland,
Ohio. The organization was formed in
New York in 1871, and the balance of
power used to be in the East, but now
the West has the majority. Several
years ago the Grand Lodge went to
Philadelphia in spite of the great objec-
ton of part of the New York members.
Finally an amendment to the constitu-
ton was. adopted providing that by
majority vote, the Grand Lodge meeting
might be held outside of this State.
This time Cleveland had plurality, but
a majority was against it, and Treasurer
Mendel sued for an injunction, contend
ing that a plurality is not a majority.
Argument will be heard later.
Elks Suspended.
CHICAGO, May 5.-Simon Quinlan, SUI
preme ruler of the benevolent order of
Elks, has suspended New York Council,
No. l, and the general secretary for con-
spring, by legal process, to prevent the
holding of the annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge in Cleveland next July.

REFORMER HILL.

He Thinks Contested Elections Should
be Decided by the Courts.
ALBANY, N. Y, May Ex-Governor Hill
today sent to the Legislature message
suggesting a change in the method of de-
Gliding contested elections. He suggests
the passage of concurrent resolution
submitting to the people an amendment
to the State constitution, which will
take from erch house the power of judg-
ing its own elections and confer the
jurisdiction upon the courts. He would
also recommend such action on the part
OF the Legislature as is likely to
bring the subject to the attention of
Congress, with the view of securing an
ultimately similar amendment to the
Federal constitution. "This," says the
Governor, "would compel contests 10
be decided upon their merits, and relieve
legislative bodies from standing the
temptation to do injustice.

Japanese Festival.

Among the many festivities of this
Christmas season, those who attended
the Japanese festival at the Lyceum will
willingly accord it the palm OF superior
pleasantness, dignity and appropriate
ness. After some brief talks, singing
and prayers, Mr.. Ban, one OF the at
taches of the Consulate, said that he had
met Santa Claus, who told him that the
Japanese ought not to be neglectful OF
the joieties of the season, and certainly
ought not to be neglected by him, even
though he should be obliged to visit
them a little late. Thereupon, with a
hearty salutation to the assembled CON-
pany, Santa Claus bounded in as if just
flown down from Japan. No pony sledge
would be of service ON the waters OF the
Pacific; the telegraph and railroad had
not yet been built; but as he Topped his
arms vigorously about, as he painted to
catch his breath, the rows OF fans at
tached to his shoulders, attracted atten-
ton to the unique style OF wings which
served his purpose OF locomotion for the
evenings entertainment. Alter a little
good natured chatting about being never
late, he startled the audience by bring
ing his hands so forcibly to the region
OF his heart that he made as much noise
in his excessive demonstration of Joy as
if he had drum there instead OF heart.
The presents were distributed with great
agility, and then he left his deputies,
Messrs Hasagawa and Matani, to give
every one in the audience who drew a
lucky number, some pretty memorial of
the Christmas season. The whole audi
ence were then invited to the refresh
ments provided in the adjoining apart
ment, both rooms being decorated with
much appropriateness and tastefulness,
and the young Japanese hosts making
every one feel that they were most
heartily welcome

THE ORGAN RECITAL.
A Large Audience and Pleasing Pro
gramme.


The organ recital 1.-THE eleventh OF the
series at Kaumakapili Church Tuesday
evening, attracted an exceedingly large
audience. Among those present were
II. r. II. Princess Liliuokalani, Ii. b.
Ms Commissioner, Major j. H. Wode-
house, Hon. W. G. and Mrs. Irwin, Mrs.
DR.. J. S. McGrew, Miss McGrew, Mrs.
]. 1. Dowsett, and many other promi-
nent residents. These recitals as they
go along at reasonable intervals, appear
| to be growing more and more in public
favor. The programme on this occa-
sion was an interesting one and well
adapted to please an audience. This
was manifest during the evening by the
frequent applause which greeted the
performers
Miss Annie Dowsett sang The Angels
| Serenade by Braga, with fine effect.
This young lady, one Of Hawaii's daugh-
| tiers, possesses an extremely sweet and
well trained voice, and sang with so
much taste and expression that nothing
short of a repetition OF the number
would satisfy the audience. Miss Jane
son played an admirable accompani-
| ment on the piano, while that
artistic musician, Prof. G. Sauvlet,
gave the violin obligato in faultless
manner.
Mr.. T. NJ. Starkey is one Of our lead
| ing local amateurs, whose excellent
baritone voice has been heard on many
occasions on the concert platform. His
number was beautiful song Calvary
by Paul Rodney which he vocalized in
the most pleasing manner and retired
amid applause.
One OF the features of the evening was
the first appearance in a building, IN
public, of the Royal Hawaiian Orchestra,
which is composed of members of the
Hawaiian Military Band. 1t is only a
| few weeks ago that our indeiatigable
bandmaster, Mr.. Berger, started this or
chestra, but he has labored and perse-
| vered with the members so faithfully
that their playing that evening was real
| treat. They gave three numbers, the
last two being enthusiastically encored.
The gavotte, 'Secret Love-" was
very well played, and the same
may be said of the overture,
Enchantment. Prof. Sauvlet kindly
played first violin in the orchestra. Mr..
Berger must he congratulated on his sue
cess, and it is to be hoped the orchestra
will be permanent and often heard in
public.
Mr.. Wray Taylor opened the pro-
gramme by playing Triumphal March
and Berceuse, and later on an Andante
and Offertoire. They were all given
with skill, the capabilities of the grand
organ, which contains many fine solo
stops, being we'll brought out.
