I'm the Federal Court at Jackson, Tenn,

Guleut purposes. His scheme was 70 lead
people I'm various parts OF the United
States to believe that they had inherited
fortunes In England and pay him fees
10 secure the alleged inheritance. The
evidence adduced by the government goes
TO show that William Lord Moore. OF
London; Joseph Ledger and the Rev.
Frederick Howard are one and the same
person: and furthermore, that estates
ranging from 81 900 10 Sl,0OO.0OO have actu-
ally been collected under these aliases

who have been duped by Howard and

THE NEXT HAWAIIAN NEWS
VIII Come by the Australia, Possibly To
Day-Willls' Authority


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. l6.-No
more news from Honolulu is expected
before Saturday. when the steamship
Australia is scheduled 10 arrive at San
Francisco. There is great anxiety 10
hear from the islands as soon as possi-
bic and it is possible that arrangements
have been made 20 expedite the trip of
that steamer so as to have her arrive
a day earlier. or by tomorrow night at
the latest. Naval officers familiar with
the capacity OF the Australia say that
IT would not even be necessary 10 has
ten the departure Of the steamer 10 Sc
cure this result, for If the officers Of
the vessel were disposed TO force the
ship she could make the run in about
five and a half days IL is principally
a matter Of coal consumption, meaning
of course, greater expense. So, If the
Australia sailed at noon last Saturday
she may reach San Francisco even be
fore midnight tomorrow. There Is no
prospect of any important dispatches
reaching the United States by the gum
boat Adams, as one California dispatch
intimates, for she is one Of the slowest
tubs in the navy, and the ordinary mail
steamer could cross and return before
she could make the trip one way.
In anticipation Of the condition Of
affairs which would arise should the
provisional government give Mr.. Willis
his passports. the administration adopted
me extraordinary course Of providing him
with an independent authority to com
mand the naval forces Of the harbor OF
Honolulu. Under ordinary rules Of inter
national law Mr.. Willis would not be
Minister if his passports were given him
by the provisional government. and he
would have no authority 10 call on the
naval forces Of this country for any
purpose whatever.
To guard against this contingency orders
to the commanding officer Of the naval
forces were given him. signed by the
President Of the United states, directing
the commanding officer TO obey any or
ders coming from Mr.. willis, regardless
OF his official relation to the Hawaiian
government.
