NEW YEARS FOOTBALL.
What Has Been Arranged as an
Attraction for Jan. l, 1897.

The lack of attractions so far ar
ranged for New Years Day has be-
come such vexing question for peo-
pie who wish for some special diver
sion at that time that it has stirred up
the football enthusiasts to a working
point, and now the proposition is to
choose two teams from the ranks OF
the Town, Punahou and First Regi-
ment Teams to play on New Years
Day. This will be done as soon as pos
sible, so as to allow the new team to
get down again into good, hard train
ing. Two teams chosen in the man
ner mentioned will furnish material
for a very spirited game, but probably
| the most exciting game which could
be arranged for would be the Punahou
students pitted against the Town Boys.
The score of the last game between
these teams, together with their play
ing, showed only too well how closely
matched they were. Then again, if
| two teams are chosen in the manner
suggested they will not have centered
| in them the interest that teams rep
resenting some institution such as Pu-
nahou or some organization such as
the H. A. A. C. always claims. At all
events, there is to be a game and an
effort will be made to have the band
to make the occasion all the more
lively.

SUGAR BoUNTIEs VALID.
The Supreme Court Reverses the
Ruling of Mr.. bowler.

Washington, May 25.-The supreme court
to-day sustained the validity of the ap-
propriations TO carry out the sugar bounty
features of the Mckinley and Wilson tar
ifs acts by an unanimous opinion, affirm
ing the decision Of the circuit court for the
eastern district of Louisiana, and revers-
ing the action of Controller Of the Treas
ury Bowler, who refused to permit the
payment of the bounties on the ground
that the act was unconstitutional
The cases involved We're those of the
United States, plaintiff in error, vs.. the
Realty Company, and Andrew II. Gay, re-
spectively. The opinion of the court was
delivered by Justice Peckham. Both were
test cases.
The effect Of the decision will be to make
available Immediately for payment of the
suspended sugar bounty claims, more than
s., $4,000.
The claims filed with and approved by
the commissioner Of internal revenue
amount to Sc III, 505. As this Is greater
than the amount of the appropriation the
claims viii have to be prOrated If an addi-
tional appropriation to meet the full
amount is not made.
Controller Bowler to-day withdrew his
directions to the auditor Of the treasury
department, which have had the effect Of
holding up the bounty claims and bringing
about the litigation now concluded.
The supreme court Of the United States
adjourned sine die to-day, leaving the
smallest docket on record since 1876.

attempt to table the amendment was de-
feated.
William NJ swindells said: Let us give
to the laity of the church this increased
responsibility, and IL will be best for them
and best for the church"
Gen. Rushing said that he heartily ia
vored the amendment but he believed
that IL should not he adopted now. 1t
would imper.l the adoption Of the cOnsti-
tuition. The amendment was defeated by
a vote of 189 to 1873.
The committee on Epworth League rec
commended that certain members of the
board of control be appointed by the gem
eral conference. instead Of by the repre-
sentatives of the league. Several dele
gates denounced the report as taking the
members in the control of its own organi-
cation. The report was adopted.
DR.. Joseph c. Hartzell Of Louisiana was
elected bishop to Africa on the second
ballot. He was invited to a seat on the
platform When Bishop Taylor, the aged
bishop who Initiated the African work,
congratulated his successor, the conven-
ton rose and applauded enthusiastically.
DR.. Hartzell IS "a years of age, and
since 1883 has been secretary Of the Freed
mans Aid Society. He was reelected to
the same position on May q, on the first
ballot. In 1870 he was transferred from
the Illinois conference to New Orleans,
and was placed in charge of the mis-
siOnary churches in that city. While in
that city he became editor of the South
western Christian Advocate. He has TAX
en- a prominent part In the development Of
the public school system Of that city.
NJ. c. B. Mason (coloreO of Savannah,
Ga was elected an additional secretary
of the Freedmen's AID Society by a vote
of 296 against 45 and 40, respectively for
two white candidates. The announce
ment of DR.. Mason's election was receiv-
ed with great enthusiasm.
