The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came

my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in

NOT NICHOLS MURDERER.
Rrfdgeport Police Think Weeks Can
Name tho Wan.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 2S 1881
The developments today in the mystery
surrounding the murder of Marcus G..
Nichols at Daniels Farms last week,
bear out fully the dispatches of the
Associated Press, last night. AS it was
then stated, John Weeks was arrested in
Huntington yesterday not as a principal
in the crime, but as one possessing val
liable information, which might lead to
the apprehension of the real murderers
This morning Detective Arnold authoriz-
ed the Associated Press to state that
nj his opinion, Weeks is not directly gull
ty of the crime. In him, the officers
think, they have a man who may aid in
the discovery of the whereabouts of
Charles Bonai who is very much wanted.
This forenoon Detective Arnold was
closeted with Weeks for nearly two
hours in an effort to get from him some
sort of a detailed statement rehearsing
the whereabouts and doing of Bonai dur
ing last week and the days since the
Nichols tragedy From Weeks the Off
GERS have learned, so they state, that
Bonai is a pretty tough character and
they believe that if this man can be APP
pretended a long step will have been TAX
en- toward the solution of the mystery
The officers will not deny that they
have what they consider strong evidence,
but they withhold its character on the
ground that its publication now would
defeat the ends of justice. Detective Ar
mold and the other officers who with him
are working upon the case contemplate
making another trip to Huntington today
and will probably leave this afternoon.
1t is not expected that Bonai will be
found in that vicinity and the excursion
will be made simply with a view to estab-
fishing certain vital points.

NEWP0RTs FETE DAY.
Crews of the North Atlantic SQUAD
ron to Parade Auguat 4.


NEW YORK, July 2S, 1S97.-The annual
fete and illumination of the harbor of
Newport, R. L, will be held this year on
August A. The following warships of the
North Atlantic Squadron will arrive at
Newport previous to the fete:-The flag
ship New York, battleships Indiana, Maine,
Massachusetts, Texas and Brooklyn, the
monitor Puritan and tender Fern, which
with the battleship Iowa and the torpedo
boats already at Newport, will make the
largest gathering of the new navy ever
seen in New England.
The crews of sailors and marines from
these ships, joined by the Fort Adams
troops, the naval reserves of Rhode
Island and the local military will, OF the
afternoon of the 4th, participate in one of
the most unique and imposing street par
ades ever witnessed in Newport, or, in
fact, any of the Eastern cities.
The electrical effects from the warships
in the evening will be magnificent, includ-
ing as they probably will, the display
made by the New York at Kiel, and that
made by the Brooklyn in honor of Queen
Victoria at the recent jubilee.
Fete day at Newport was established in
honor of the visit of the New York Yacht
Club on their annual summer cruise and
still celebrates that event, the fleet this
commencing with the early afternoon of
the 4th. The first illumination of the
harbor occurred three years ago, and was
quite modest. Last year more elabor-
attracted thousands of visitors from OUT
side of the city.

NET RESULTS OF AN INPAMY.
New York Police still Rotten Says
Moss. In Spite Of Parkhurstiem.

NEW YORK, July .2S, 1S97--President
Moss at today's meeting of the Police
Commissioners made lengthy statement
in reply TO Colonel Grants resolutions of
last week, relating to the SUPPRESSION of
disorderly houses, in which he severely
criticized Colonel Grant, and charged
that the adoption of his resolutions would
be hailed with delight by dishonest cap
tains. New ''Tenderloins" would spring
up, and corruption would spread through
the force.
President Moss further stated that he
had sworn evidence that policemen were
levying blackmail for their superior Off
GERS on unfortunate women and other law
breakers, and that some of the finest
residence districts were rapidly being
transformed into 'eTenderloins" through
the corruption of the captains.
He accused Captain Groo of being negli-
gent in the performance of his duties,
and upheld the detectives who secured the
evidence in his district. The morals of
the force were not corrupted by doing
such work, he declared, and it could not
be done with kid gloves.

SCANDALOUS WORK.

GAVE CHANCES FOR DISHONEST BIDS

New Bids on an Hon
est Basis.
GAVE CHANCES FOR DISHONEST BIDS

The Street and Water Commissioners
at an informal conference this morning,
decided to readvertise for bids for feed,
lumber and coal. These supplies have
been advertised for cnce and contracts
awarded E. A. Dugan, w. ]. Coates and
]. Sweeney, respectively
When the resolutions of award reached
the Board of Finance they struck snag.
Unsuccessful bidders charged that there
had been inserted IN the specifications
costly articles which would never be
used or called for. To protect themselves.
they said, they put in bids on the high
priced goods at market rates, while those
who had tip as to what the city would
use bid an absurdly low price, and in
that way secured the contracts. In eases
where these allegations were made the
Board of Finance non-concurred in the
awards.
Commissioner Heintze, speaking for the
Street and Water Board this morning,
said:-.We are glad the Finance Board
non-concurred in the awards to Dugan,
Coates and Sweeney. Not a member of
this Board knew, before bids We're ad-
vertised for, what the specifications con-
taiEed. The Chief Engineer w. W. Rug
gles did what he has done for years. and
that is merely copy the old specifications
People want to bear in mind that the
members of this Board are comparatively
green in this business. Had we known
that high priced articles which viii never
be used by the city were in the specifica-
tions, the bids would not have been ac-
cepted. The Finance Board discovered
the scheme and we will profit by it.
We will have new specifications prepared
at once and there will be in them only
such articles as we require day by day.
I have looked over the lumber proposal
and find that we have been charged Is
cents apiece for stakes. know that
can buy all want for three or four
cents apiece. Had those contracts gone
through an injustice would have been
done the city not through any fault of
ours, but owing to the Chief Engineers
specifications. 1t is foolish to think of
men saying they viii furnish mahogany
at SIS a thousand feet when the market
price is ss5. Such things as we use only
occasionally we viii buy on requisitions.
imagine the new Specifications win bind
bidders so closely that the city will get
what it needs at reasonable prices. The
members of this Board will endeayor to
see to it that no one gets easy contracts"
Chief Engineer Ruggles today began
the preparation of new specifications.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
Its Discussion in Connection
with the Clayton Bulwer
Question by Parliament
Causes Surprise in
Washington.

WASHINGTON, July rs, 1S97.-Public
men in Washington were generally sur
prised when the announcement was made
in the cable dispatches few days since
that the question of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty had been raised in the British Par
lament in connection with the proposal
to annex the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States, and also were consequent
" prepared for the response of the Brit
ish government that the one question
was otsinyolyed in the other. The matt
ter is regarded here with all the greater
interest because both subjects. the val
idity of the treaty and the annexation of
Hawaii, are under consideration by the
American Congress, and both, in all prob
ability, will receive attention during the
next session.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions which has already reported upon
the annexation treaty, has undertaken an
investigation of the present status of the
Clayton-Bulwer convention, and the gen
eral expectation account of the predic-
tions of the members of the sub-commit-
tee having the question in charge is that
a report will be favorable to the abro-
cation of the treaty. 1t is understood
that a majority Of the members of the
committee consider that England has. by
repeated acts in Central America, nulli-
fed the treaty.
There is also a large element in the
Senate which regards the treaty as OBJ
noxious to the Monroe doctrine. Others
look upon it as liable, in an indirect way,
to have, through it's reference to the Nj
caragua Canal, bearing upon the Ha-
waiian question. Those of this class do
not admit that there is the remotest ref
erence to Hawaii in the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, but they claim that Hawaii and
the proposed Isthmian Canal, to which
the treaty has especial reference, are so
closely related as to render the future
bearing of this treaty upon the Hawaiian
problem a matter of interest.
1t is understood that the committee
will be prepared to report soon after
the converting of Congress next Deem
Der. One of the points of doubt on the
part of the committee is how the treaty
is regarded by the British government.
1t appears that while England has gen.
orally acted in Central American affairs
as she would have been expected to act
if there had been no treaty, the English
authorities have never given expression
on any official sentiment as to the con-
tinued effect of the agreement made be-
tween Secretary Clayton and Sir Lytton
Bulwer.

WRECKED ON LAKE HURON.

PORT HURON, Mich, July 2s 1s97.-The
steamer Cambria, of the Windsor Detroit
and 500 line, which left Detroit Tuesday,
noon with 100 passengers for Sault ste

were broken, and then her machinery be-
came disabled The passengers We're wild

taken off. The Cambria was a vessel of
one thousand tons of the old fashioned
sidewheel type. She had been doing
heavy business the past four years on the
route between Detroit and Sault ste.
Marie via Georgian Bay.
