B. d. MCGaVAn was called and tostl-

(By PrRther.)

A. The letter came In Saturdays mail.
Q. What day was that2
A. A week ago last Saturday. In

once or twice, and medltAted over Il.
Presently he handed 10 back 10 me and

tally and agreed that we sleep over Il
another night and compare notes Monday
morning. We met outside THE ADvo-
cATE Office In the hall and they aaked
me II knew what was best 10 do. My
judgment Is that we had better get
Brother McGrath and all parties that
know anything about this into q room
and read the letter TO them. DR.. Mo
Lallin spoke up and said, "that Is my
opinion asii had expressed Il MYSELF
Mr.. Vincent said he thought so tOo
We came down here and there we're
people coming In and going out After
a while we went into that room, called
Brother McGrath In, and Brother Nc
Gavran made a little talk and we asked
him questions In regard 70 the letter He
spoke Of the letter that had come 10 Nc
Grath's father He went and got that
letter and we compared the letters and
all came 10 the conclusion that one man
wrote both Of them. The pOstmarks,
dates they were mailed and the day they
we're received all compared. We asked
Brother MoGrAth when he had written
Turner a letter, He said he had written
but one letter TO him, but he met him AZ
one Of the depots, have forgotten
whether Il was the Rock Island or not,
and asked him in regard TO the cost and
construction Of equlping railroad, and
Turner had said that he could not give
him the facts until he got homo to Wash
ingtOn, and thls letter was In reply TO
this inquiry. In that conversation there
was something said about publishing the

Ocala," Il did not know at the time what
committee he was alludlng TOY "and ]
have sacrificed a good deal for harmony.
II you publish this letter / will have 10
disclose what l know about this" Some
one Of them asked him II he did not sign
the report Of that committee. lie said,
ayes, he had 10 make a great sacrifice TO
do So" We talked then until about half
past one o'clock, think II was about
half past ono, for we got to the DuttOn
house about two o'clock After dinner
we came back TO TEE ADVOCATE Office
aud came up here and we urged Brother
MoGrath that as long as he did not know
about the letter 10 publish the
letter and say, "Here, gentlemen, do not
know anything about this letter. do
not know why Mr.. Turner should write
me such a letter." and we agreed that II
he would do that we would not let anyone
know how 1t came into our possession.
@. Was that what was said theroP
A. That was the substance. We all
urged him 70 take that course and he
would not That is the substance as
near as l can remember Of Che converse

@. You say you saw both lettersH
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Is that the letter you saw?
A. This explains 1t.
Q. II is exactly the same as when you

q. Did he not give that as q reasony
A. do not know that he gave that as
objection At the time. There we're 90
many things said shat could not give
the direct conversation. He was asked
for the subsection Of the letter but wanted
time 10 investigate.
q. Now, was the proposition made
TO him 10 submit 10 the publication Of
the letter and his denial at the same time,
also coupled with two other propositions,
viz: That he could not account how the
letter came 10 be written and that they
would suppress the manner In which
they got possession Of the letterf
A. The proposition for publication
was that he should consent for II to be
published and write his denial washing
his hands Of the whole matter. The
method by which this letter was dis
covered would be practically concealed.
@. Doyou not remember having heard
az any time any one asking him to make
a statement OF why it should have been
written?
A. do not.

during the campaign was DR.. McLallin,

LECTURE AT Y. NJ. C. A.

Prof. A. B. Lyons, Alb, F.C.S., of
Oahu College, entertained, for nearly
two hours, good-sized audience at
the Y. NJ. @. 4. Hall on Monday
night. The attendance was very fair
considering the many counter at
fractions going on at the same time.
Mr.. W. W. Hall introduced Mr..
Lyons, who Immediately proceeded
with his subject of Chemical Anaiy-
Sis" The first part of the lecture
was occupied with proximate analy-
sis; and the latter half with ultimate
analysis. Prof. Lyons astonished
his audience with the results of some
OF his experiments-such as the
effect Of the union of sodium with
water, producing an explosion. Our
hydrant water was tested, which
showed the presence of various salts
In it. In other parts of the world,
the speaker said, such a result would
mean the. presence of disagreeable
Impurities in the water but in the
Hawaiian Islands, being surrounded
by the ocean, it may be expected
that salts would form in it, and in
rain-water also. Mr.. Lyons per-
formed numerous other experiments,
which were watched with close at
tention by the audience. The tables
were covered with bottles containing
acids, test tubes, glass vessels, and
other apparatus necessary for the ex-
periments. At the close of the lee
ture a vote of thanks was passed to
Mr.. Lyons for his very learned and
instructive lecture. After the au-
dience dispersed, a few remained
behind inspecting the precipitates
and other results Of the analyses.
