Murphy Talks Under Catholic Auspices in
st Patrick's Hall.
st Patrick's hall was crowded to its ut
most capacity last evening with men eager
to hear the eloquent Murphy talk temper
ance. More than thousand people, too,
were turned away from the hall long be-
fore the speaking began. Rev Father
Kennedy presided and introduced Mr. Muir
ply. Father Mnlcahy was lecturing at the
Convent of Notre Dame, and arrived later
There were present on the platform Rev
Mr. Barton, Rev DIR Davenport and Messrs
Galley, Star and Mintie.
Mr. Murphy made one of the best
speeches he has made in the city and was
received with unbounded applause. I'VE
have reasoned together on the question not
as ProtestantS, not as Catholics" he said,
'but as lovers of the old stars and stripes,
as people who believe in the greatest good
for the greatest number. The wage earners
can settle this question in forty-eight
hours. If every fellow who drinks little.
would make up his mind to stop the
because we are bad, but because We are
freighted with the force and energy of
human nature"
The speaker made IL touching allusion to
Father Matthew, which was applauded to
the echo.
The greatest danger is in taking little
We come to like it too much. 1t is the
quiet, social drink that forms the appetite
and the mountain of drunkenness is made
up of little social nips. The moral force
of man is crippled by drink and his
standing in the community is not EN-
HANGED by the jags he carries. Turn YOU
back on the saloon. Live for home, youl
church, your country and your God. Who
keeps the saloons in Waterbury running
The people on Prospect street, or who OWL
factories? No They get a case of wine from
New York or case of whiskey if the!
want it, 1t is the wage earners. Not
saloon could exist if it We're not for thu
dimes and quarters of the wage earners.
He made a strong appeal to the audienc,
to sign the pledge and to reorganize in Wa
terbury the Father Matthew society of old
Father Mulcahy who had come into tn,
hall some time before Murphy concluded
worked up to the stage. He said that h
felt so much interest in what the youni
orator was saying that he did not want t
interrupt him. Every word should be al
inspiration to higher and holier life.
have no doubt that if we could continue il
the disposition we now are placed Their
would be no need of pledge"
DR. Davenport and Rev Mr. Barton mad
very pleasing remarks. Murphy thanke
the committee and called for signers; 81
names were added to Waterburv's list O
total abstainers.

OUR FLAG UNDER FIRE.
Because the Captain of the Steamer Would
Not Give Up Refugee, President Vas
quez Let Loose His Cannon-Seven Inef-
fectual Shots,


fectual Shots.
LA LIBERTAD, Honduras, Nov. Hon
luras has fired upon the American flag.
By the alleged orders of President Nasquez
and by the express command of the COM
missioner of the port of Amapala, seven
cannon shots We're fired after the Pacific
mail steamship Costa Rica, flying the stars
and stripes, as she steamed away, because
she refused to surrender one of her pas
sengers to the Honduras government.
United States Minister Baker was ON
board the Costa Rica at the time The
passenger about whom the trouble arose is
Policarpo Bonilli, who recently led the
revolution in Honduras, but was defeated
by General Vasquez.
He then fed to Nicaragua, and with 500
of his adherents Joined the army of Presi-
dent Sacasa, who was engaged in an at
tempt to quell rebellion.
Consul Baker on Board.
| Bonilla had decided to leave Nicaragua
in order to relieve the government from
all responsibility of harboring him He
therefore sailed from Corinto for Guate-
mala on Nov. 4 on the Costa Rica. Ameri-
! can Minister Baker and more than 100
other persons were his fellow passengers.
| They arrived Sunday morning at Anna
| pala, port of entry of Honduras on the
| Pacific coast, and at o'clock in the after
noon Commander of the Port Villa de
manded that Captain Dow should surren-
der Bonilla
When this request was refused a threat
was made to sink the ship, and it was as
serted that President Vasquez had given
! strict orders to that effect.
An official protest against the refusal to
surrender Bonilla was presented to the
captain at o'clock, and clearance papers
were only issued to the ship after night
fall, when it was too dark to leave the har-
Dor with safety.
Could Not Scare Captain Dow.
A government officer came on board at
$50 o'clock Monday morning, saying that
new orders had been received from the
president insisting on the delivery of b.
nilla or the bombardment of the ship.
Captain Dow replied that the commander
| of the port would receive his answer in
half an hour, but before that time had ex-
| pired he steamed away.
Seven shots were fired after the Costa
| Rica, although she few the American flag
| None of the shots struck her, however, but
| it is feared the steamship City of Panama
| of the same line, which was lying in the
port, may have been injured, because the
| firing continued for some time after the
| Costa Rica was out of range.
The congress of Honduras has conferred
upon President Vasquez full power to
make war upon Nicaragua whenever a rev.
olution or an invasion of reyolutionists
| from that republic occurs.

STANTON AT WASHINGTON.
The Suspended Naval ohioer Seems TO he
Undismnyed.

wAsHrNaToN, Dec. 6--Commodorc Stan
ton, whose action in saluting Admiral
Mello, the Brazilian insurgent caused him
to be recalled from command of the
United States fleet in Brazilian waters
has arrived In Washington and reported
at the navy department.
Commodore Stanton was for q long time
In the office Of the secretary OF the navy,
and Immediately afterward left the de-
partment in an apparently cheerful frame
of mind. Nothing could be learned either
from him or from Secretary Herbert as to
the results of the consultation or Ms to any
action that will be taken on his salute of
Admiral Mello.
Commodore Stanton entered the Bay of
Rio Oct 30. having been assigned to com
mand of the squadron on that station. He
gave the customary salute of twenty bne
guns and the flag OF tho Aquiaban, Mello's
ship, was dipped in reply, and nm mid of
the rebel admiral called on the American
commodore. Stanton then called upon
Mello, was saluted and Mello returned the
call and was saluted. 1t has been claimed
that Stanton had no official knowledge
that Mello was a rebel, and only recog-
nized the Brazilian flag, which he was
floating. Nevertheless Commodore Stan
ton was ordered home, No one else has,
however, been appointed to his command.
