iTUG.OF-WAR.
Waikiki, Honolulu Iron Works
and Marion Teams. Win.

Waikiki, Honolulu Iron Works
and Marion Teams, Win.
The tug-of-war tournament was
continued at the pavilion, corner Bere-
tania and Alakea streets, last night. A
crowd of some 300 people was present.
The first, and, perhaps the prettiest,
pull of the evening was between the
Waikiki and Pakaka teams. For 81
minutes or more there wasn't an inch
gained. The men were braced like bars
of steel. The Pakaka team began to
waver slightly, and it was then that
the Wakikis got in their work. In 80
minutes, they had their opponents over
the mark and virtually secured to
themselves the honor of second place.
The second pull was between the
Makani Hoeo and Honolulu Iron
Works teams. The former were no
match for the stalwart foundry boys,
and in II minutes the latter had the
rope just where they wanted it.
In connection with this event it
might be mentioned that when H. E.
Walker fired the starting shot, the
wads from the blank cartridge struck
the shade of the group of electric
lights, just above, and broke off about
half
The third and last pull was between
the Marion and Philadelphia teams.
The men stood steady for 20 minutes
or more, when it was evident that the
Philadelphia were weakening. The
Marion defenders stepped in and fin
ished the pull in 80 minutes.
Tom Wright, one of the judges, gave
it as his opinion that no team taking
the position that the Philadelphia did
could ever win pull There was alb
solutely no chance for leverage.

BURIED ON MOLOKAI.
Waialeale Returns After Leaving
Remains OF K. w. Never.

The steamer Waialeale returned
from Molokai at about a. N. yester-
day, after having taken to that island
for interment the body of r. W. Mey-
er, late superintendent of the leper
settlement.
The Waialeale arrived in Kaunaka-
hakai about a. m. Monday, after
quite a rough passage from Honolulu.
The water there, upon arrival, was as
smooth as a mill-pond. The funeral
party accompanying the casket, went
toward shore in boats until shallow
water was reached, when they were
transported aboard scows TO traverse
the remainder of the distance. The
casket was placed in the express, taken
down on the Waialeale for the purpose,
and removed to the family home at
Kalai, place about nine miles dis
tant from Kaunakahakai.
At p. m. funeral services were held
at the house. the Rev. Stephen L. De-
sha, of Hilo, officiating. Quite a num-
Der of residents were present, these in
addition to the funeral party The
services over, the body was taken to a
place near the home and buried be-
meath pine tree-one of pair, which
deceased had designated as the spot
to mark his burial place.
The members of the funeral party
who returned-about half the number
who went up and consisting of nearly
all the men-reached Kaunakahikai at
about 10 o'clock, and the Waialeale
started for Honolulu shortly after
wards, arriving as above.

Congregations at St. Andrews
Cathedral VIII Worship as Usual.
Mr.. w. L. Stanley, the church war
den of the Second Congregation Of
ST. Andrews Cathedral, has received
a letter. from Rev. John osborne, vice
dean, saying that as the two congre-
cations are not unanimous on the
terms and resolutions passed at the
meeting of the Second Congregation
last week, the attempt to unite the
congregations is at an end and that all
further conditions are void.
The Second Congregation has done
what it could do to secure union under
favorable terms and not go back to
where it started. and although not
unanimous at its meeting, the two or
three who wanted more definite terms,
are now unanimous.
No meeting of the First Congrega-
ton has been called. but Rev. osborne
has found out from several members
that they would not agree to the terms
submitted by the Bishop through him,
together with the resolutions passed at
the meeting of the Second Congrega-
ton.
The services of both congregations
will continue the same as usual.

Tho Bradford and Ward men in

their champions by President McKin-
ley, for the Delaware district judge

heretofore sanguine Bradford man
assured an Evening Journal reporter
to-day that there was no hope and
that the presidents long delay was
significant of a conclusion not to graf
ify any factional ambition by the ap-
pOntment Of a Delaware Republican
politician. The Nields and Spruance
men practically abandoned their con-
test on account of the age handicap
II am assured to-day" said lead
ing Bradford man. that President Nc
Kinley will not appoint a Delaware
man ut all He would appoint Henry
c. Conrad If we would agree TO it, but
there is strong evidence that Mr. Con-
rad Is a silent partner of j. Edward
Addicks. and voted the straight-out
Union Republican ticket last year; so
we cannot advocate him any more than
we could have voted for Mr. Willis for
Congress.
"The man whom President Mckinley
will probably appoint Is an eminent
Rhode Island barrister and personal
friend. The new judge, Of course,
would remove to Delaware at once.
Then all taint OF partisan feeling or
factional leaning would be avoided.

TOO VIGOROUS FOR CUBA.
A number of Mr. Wards friends were
interviewed to-day by an Evening
Journal reporter and all seemed du-
bious as to the outcome, but preferred
not to talk. One admitted that Mr.
Ward will not win, and attributed IL tt
his vigorous defence Of the Cuban'
and their cause, which feeling must be
avoided now in the selection Of Fedora
judges.
