Rev. DR.. ALmon Gunnison, pastor of the
First Untversalist Church, officiated
and he pronounced q touching eulogy
son the life of Mr.. Boyden, saving
among other things;
During the time covered by the life of
Mr.. Boyden, the world has made great
er progress than in many centuries be-
fore. Great nations have been born
and the worlds Industrial life has been
revolutionized. He has looked upon
and been a part OF all this great ad-
vance. In addition to the interest that
comes from long association, there is
the interest that pertains to a life that
has been peculiarly useful He was a
man OF great integrity, industry, pa
trlotism and civic pride. His occupa-
ton was one that is Of great service.
Civilization begins when man goes out
of the cave into the hut, and its ad-
vance Is marked by the evolution of
the hut into the house, home, temple
and palace. Architecture is the most
useful and enduring Of all the arts. We
can live without pictures, but not with
out buildings; and If he Is benefactor
who makes grass grow in the desert, he
is doubly so vino covers the earth with
buildings"
Rev. DR.. Gunnison referred in a spe-
cial manner TO the moral influence Of
such a building as Mechanics hall on
the life Of the city, and, in closing, he
paid q tribute 70 the reverence felt by

Boyden.

At frame 18 the vertical keel Is broken
in two, and the fiat keel bent into an
angle similar to the angle formed by the
outside bottom plating. This break is
now about six feet below the surface Of
the water and about 30 feet above its
normal position. In the opinion OF the
court, this effect could have been pro-
duced only by the explosion of mine
situated under the bottom OF the ship
at about frame Is, and somewhat on the
port side Of the ship.

Maine on the occasion named was not
In any respect due to the fault or neg
hgence on the part of any officer OF
members Of the crew Of the said vessel.
Tn the opinion of the court the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion
Of a submarine mine. which caused the
partial explosion of two or more OF her

Proposed Annexation.

Washington, June 29.-Discusslon In the
Senate of the Hawaiian annexation ques-

Inns Of Utah, with a speech, in which he
criticised vigorously the provision emood-
led in the conference report on the Indian
appropriation biz which acknow Wedges the
right of Indians to lease mineral lands on
their reservations.
Mr.. Pettigrew Of South Dakota resumed
his speech in opposition to Hawaiian an
neXatiOn, addressing the Senate for about
two hours In the course OF this argu-
ment, which was forceful and interesting
because he had made a personal investi-
cation of the subject, he maintained that
the harbor of Kiska, on the Island of
Great Kiska, owned by the United States,
would make much better coaling station
for our navy than Honolulu, as 1t was in
a more direct line from this country to
the Philippines than the Hawaiian Islands,
and more than a thousand miles nearer.
Mr.. McEenery Of Louisiana, to whom
Mr.. Pettigrew yielded the floor before he
had concluded his speech, spoke about an
hour in opposition to the pending resOlu-
tons
