SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE steamer
Oceanic arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama, via Honolulu. this morning.
She brings the latest advices from the
Hawaiian Islands, dated Honolulu, Nav
10, saying:
The shrill voices Of sentries calling
the hour and announcing to the slum.
bering people of Honolulu that "All ia
we'll" and occasional guards pacing to
and fro on their beats are the only signs
OF political treble in this CITY. AS
Honolulu goes so go the rest of the
islands, is saying here, and the situa.
ton in this city is plainly indicative of
that on the other islands.
The most important event of the past
few days was the appointment of Lorrin
a. Thurston as minister to Washington
to succeed j. Mott Smith. Other items
of interest and discussion here have
been the passage of what the royalists
call the "Press Gag Law" and the law
prohibiting the possession OF firearms
and ammunition. The first law /, in
the nature of special legislation and is
directed against the Hawaii Holomua,
a newspaper printed in both the native
and English languages, which has been
making bitter attacks against the pro-
visional government. AS the ex.oueen
is popularity supposed to be one of the
proprietors the law is interpreted as a
measure to shut her off from power to
incite the natives to opposition to tho
provisional government.

Plano Logic.

LIKE every other article of merchan-
disc there are poor, good, better and
best pianos. The word "best" means a
great deal. BE charitable when the
salesman makes use of il; he only
means one OF the best. The points to
decide on are whether you want one for
time or lifetime; one Of the mediums
or one of the best. Then comes the
old, old question: How to make saw
ing? Perphaps we can help you. We
have some of the best. Hobbie Music

MORE MEN EMPLOYED,

The selectmen More Than Double
 the Force at Work for the Town
 Will Give One Hundred Men More
 Employ ment Tomorrow - Refer
 ences to be Made in Favor of Long
 Residents of the Town.
 The selectmen in accordance with the vote passed at the special meeting Friday evening have materially increased the force of men working on the roads and will con- tinue to increase 1t at each succeeding meeting of the committee on outside poor somewhat over and the men able to obtain work in other places.
 Already the number of men employed by the town has been increased from forty, the usual number, to 107 and this number will be still further increased ct the meet ing of the com nittee on outside poor to- morrow afternoon. These men are en- ployed in cebbling Main street, Westville, in repairing Long Hill road and Springside avenue, near Springside farm, in blasting stone in the quarries in East Haven, and in breaking stone for the orusher, near the quarry, and in making necessary repairs to Woodward and Farren avenues, iu the Annex, and the east causewsy of Tomlin- son bridge. Later work will be commenced on East and West Rock and at the Gibson Hall acres.
 The committee on railroads and bridges which is composed of Town Agent Garrity and Selectmen Beecher and Forbes, which is the committee under whose supervision the work is being done, will report progress at the meeting of the selectmsn this even- ing.
 Over one hundred men applied to the committee on outside poor for work yester- day, and the most deserving of these will be put to work tomorrow. In making the selection as to which of the applicants shall be put to work, preference will be given to long residents of the city. The select men believe that in times like theee the people who have resided in the city the longest and are In need of work should be giver the preference over those who have but comparatively recently made this city their home.
 Itis also suggested that it would be an excellent plan to call special town meet ing to give the seleotmen authority to ex- tend their work and repair some of the streets within the city limits.

FLORENCE HAWLEY,S TRIAL.

The Notorious Case of the N1Hnson
 Murder, Committed December 19.
 1891, Again Before the Public in a
 New Light.
 BRIDGEPORT, Sept. 1.-The superior court, with Judge George Wheeler on the bench, will open here tomorrow. Among the cases on the docket and which are ex- pected to be brought up early is that against Florence Hawley, the negro woman charged with eomplicity in the murder of Mary Munson, the white woman who was brutslly murdered and hacked with an axe on the night of December 19, 1891. It is claimed that the prosecution has ob- tained new evidence in the case and ex- poets to secure the conviction of the wo- man. It is alleged that strong web of circumstantial evidence tends to show that it was the woman who committed the crime, while her husband stood by and watched her. It is claimed that Hswiey's wife followed him to the house of Mary Munson, with whom he was intimate, on the night tt ths murder, and as he was leaving the house forced him to leturn at the point of revolver and made him stand oy while she shot the helpless woman and then beat her brssns out with an axe. It is claimed that much new evidence has been obtained which will fix the guilt for ono of the most horrible murders ever committed in Connecticut on Mrs. Hawley. The case will be called early in the term.

The Weeks Convention Opened With l
 a Sail on the Sound and Dinner at
 Pleasure Beach-An Elaborate Ban.
 quet Enjoyed by All.
 The third session of the supreme court, A. o. F. of A., was inaugurated yesterday by complimentary excursion to Pleasure Beach and a shore dinner at that popular resort rendered by the local association to the officers and representatives of the su- preme court and the officers of the grand court of Connecticut.
 The day was an ideal one and fully 200 of the members of the A. o. F. of A were present and thoroughly enjoyed the occa- sion. Early yesterday morning the dele gates began to arrive and by noon nearly every one of the delegates expected had ar rived in the city and were located at the several hotels. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock the delegates and others to the number of 200 met at the corner of Church and Chapel streets where special horse cars were in waiting to convey them to Belle dock, where the steamer Sunshine was found awaiting their arrival.
 Finally at 2:45 o'clock all the excursion ists were on board, the steamers gong sounded and the trip to Pleasure Beach be- gan. The trip while exceedingly pleasant was uneventful and at 4:45 the steamer came to 8 stop in Bridgeport harbor, where the passengers were transferred to the steamer Lenoir and the trip to the beach resumed. Finally at 5:15 landing was made at the dock at the beach, and the, by this time, hungry passengers proceeded ar | once to McMahon & Wren's pavilion where | 8 sumptuous shore dinner was served. The banquet was presided over by Presi- ! dent Thomas O'Brien of this city, who after | the delegates had been seated called the assembly to order and in hIs characteristic manner commanded all present to fall to and devour the edibles prepared. This command was instantly voted in order and
 all present at once proceeded to digest the following toothsome repast:
 | Little neck clans on half shell, clam chowdsr, broiled bluefsh, broiled split
 cells, clam fritters, broiled chicken, soft
 shell crabs on toast, cold lobster, water
 melon, sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes,
 French fried potatoes. boiled sweet po- l tstoes, sweet corn, coffee, tea, cigars, Con-
 necticut lager, light wines
 The process of masticulation was consid-
 erably enlivened by the rendition of music
 from the Second Regiment orchestra, who
 also furnished music during the trip down 1 the sound. Among those present at the
 banquet were: Mayor Sargent, Town Agent 1 Gsrrity, Sheriff Tomlinson, P. H. O'Brlen
