RITUALlsM is TOO MARKED.
Investigation Into the Methods of a
Young Episcopal Clergyman.

Newburg, n. Y, Jan. 4.-The commits
sion appointed by Bishop Potter to col
lect evidence regarding the difficulty
between Rev. Lewis r. Watson, the
young rector of st. Johns Episcopal
church Of Kingston, and certain mem
bers of his congregation, convened here
today. The case grew out of a vigorous
protest, headed by Charles d. Brya for
many years a leader of ST. Johns Epis-
copal church, and in which it was
charged that Father Watson is wreck
ing the parish by his extreme rituals
tic practices.
In response to the protest which was
signed by many of the leading members
of the church, Bishop Potter appointed
the commission, which is composed of
Rev. Rufus Emery, of st. Paul's church,
Newburg; Rev. Mr. Ackeley of New
burg and Archdeacon Thomas of Corn
wall. 1t is expected that the hearing
of both sides of the controversy will
consume several days and the finding
of the commission will be reported to
Bishop Potter who will render a final
decision in the matter.

Prices Of Steel, Cotton and Wheat
Compared With Other Years.
LOWEST PRICES EVER KNOWN
Wool Also Shows limited Productions
and Prices Far Below The
Average.

New York. Jan. 4.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade, which issues to-
morrow, will say:
Failures for 1894 are fully reported this
week, being 1885 in the United States
The liabilities were ST., 1922, $50 The fail
ures have been 125 in every thousand
firms doing business, the liabilities have
averaged $l3277 to each firm in trade and
the proportion of the volume of solvent
business reported by all clearing houses
$263 for every 81 900.
The condition OF industries has been
largely governed by the fall in prices
while the production is much greater
than a year ago. In steel the lowest prices
of the year were at the close, the lowest
ever known, the demand calling for less
than half the usual quantity of rails, with
a large decrease in many other branches
The wooden industry records a production
for the year of about a quarter less than
normal, and for the last four months
2SH per cent less than in 1892 in the
quantity of wool consumed but in the
value of the product the decrease was of
course greater.
The year has been especially noteworthy
ton on record.

THE COMMISSIONERS LETTER
Sent the Queens ENJOYS "A Dispatch Re
fusiDg to Recognize Their
CIaIms.

Washington. Jan. 6.-The attention
of the president having been called to
hint thrown out in the senate discus
sion on Friday that the visit of GER
tain committee of royalists from the
Hawaiian islands was connected in
some way with the departure of Amer
lean ships from that locality, he said to-
night to an Associated Press reporter:
"Of course such an inslnuation is
very absurd. Its propriety and the mo-
tive behind it, l am sure, can be safely
left to the judgment of fair aid right
minded Americans. j am entirely will
ing that all our people should know ev
erything concerning the visit of the So
called committee of royalists.' Last
year. in the latter part of July or early
in August, three gentlemen from Ha-
wall arrived here and asked through
the secretary of state my designation
of time when they could have an in
terview with me and present a. message
from the deposed queen. Though l
could not with propriety recognize
them officially / was not disposed to re-
fuse them personally an interview. In
the meantime, at my request transmit
ted through the secretary of state, these
gentlemen made known the precise pur-
pose of their visit in the following note:
" To Hon. w. 9. Gresham, Secretary
of State-Sir: We, the undersigned,
commissioners, sent by Her Majesty
Queen Liliuokalani request an audience
with the president of the United States
We desire to ask his eXcellency whether
there is any hope for his doing any
thing for the restoration of the consti-
tutional government Of the Hawaiian
islands

After this note had been submitted
to me, l prepared in writing, with some
care, reply to the question it contain
ed to be read by me to the commission
ers at our meeting. l intended to avoid
all misunderstanding and misconception
by absolutely combining myself to such
written reply, Of which the following is
a copy:
" Gentlemen: You must permit me
to remind you that this interview is an
official one and Instead of receiving you
in any representative capacity l meet
you as individuals who have Travelled
a long distance for the purpose of lay
ing certain matter before me. You
ask me if there is any hope of my doing
anything for the restoration of the con
stitutional government of the Hawaiian
islands. l suppose that this question is
largely prompted by the fact that soon
after the overthrow Of the late govern
ment of the queen, l investigated that
transaction and was satisfied there had
been such unjustifiable interference or
aid of that movement on the part Of
representatives of the government of
the United States in it's diplomatic and
naval service as to call for correction
not only to rectify what seemed to be a
wrong done to others, but also, through
the rectificatiOn to ward off what an
peared to be danger to American honor
and probity Fully approaching the
constitutional limitations of my eXecu-
tive power and by no means unmindful
Of the hindranceS that might arise, !
undertook the task. Having failed in
my plans, i committed the entire SUBJ
ject to the congress of the United States
which had abundant power and author
ity in the premises. The executive
branch of the government was thereby
discharged from further duty and re-
sponsibility unless moved thereby by
congressional command. Congress has
both by its action and it's omission to
act signified that nothing need be done
touching American interference with
the overthrow of the government of the
queen. Quite lately a government has
been established in Hawaii which is in
full force and operation in all parts of
the islands. 1t is maintaining it's au-
thority and discharges all ordinary gov
ernmental functions upon general prin-
ciples, and not losing sight of the special
circumstances surrounding this case
the new government is clearly entitled
to our recognition without regard to
any of the incidents which accompanied
or preceded it's Inauguration. This
recognition and attitude of congress
concerning Hawaiian affairs, of course
led to an absolute denial Of least pres
ent aid or encouragement on my part,
or an effort to restore any government
heretofore existing in the Hawaiian
islands. GROVER CLEVELAND
