TERRITORY OF HAWAII.
The New Form Of Government Will Be
Liberal 10 All.

Boston, Oct. T.-.Adviccs just received
In this city by mail from Honolulu give
indication of what those closely associ-
been led to believe will be the form OF
government for the new territory and
give details which appear to bear out the
somewhat meagre information disclosed
BY the United States commissioners on
their return from the island a few weeks
ago.
1t is an open secret throughout the city
that the new territory of Hawaii Is TO be
organized-if the recommendation of the
commission shall be adopted by Congress
with a much wider scope than the ordi-
important of the departures will be the
establishment of Legislature of two
Chambers instead of one, as is the case
United States, and the admission to the
lower House of Congress of Hawaiian
delegate endowed with the full powers OF
abad from stats ad Is
representation in the Senate of the
United States.
,Coneerning the matter Of suffrage In
the islands, it was decided that the pres
ent stipulation as to the possession or
real or personal property prerequisite for
the franchise of members of the upper
provision calling for an income of $500
during the year next preceding any cleo
ton should be retained This appears to
be satisfactory to the people generally.
The educational test in all cases is re-
tanned.
The commission will recommend that
the present judiciary system shall be
maintained in the territory. 1t is prob
able that there will be no provision for
the establishment of the United States
circuit and district courts, as such, but
that the supreme court as now established
will be given the jurisdiction of federal
courts.
1t is believed that the chief magistracy
of the territory will rest in governor to
be appointed by the President of the
United States.

REGULAR ARMY ENLlsTMENTs.
Orders Regarding Volunteers In Regular Army
and Future Terms Of Service.

Washington. Oct 27.--By direction OF
the secretary of war, Col Thomas Ward
acting adjutant general, has issued
general order IN regard to the , cases $40, Q,
enlisted therefrom In the regular army;
1t Is explanatory OF II previous general
order, In September last. prescribing that
such men would be given credit for their
service in the volunteer army.
The endorsement required by the .regu-
lations on the enlistment papers of men
who have served in the volunteer army,
and who subsequently enlisted in the reg
ular army, results in giving such soldiers
credit on the records of the department
for time actively served in the volunteer
army, but without intention that the term
OF enlistment or re-enlistment in the reg
ular army shall be shortened by reason OF
volunteer service.
The principal advantages, however, ac-
crue to those who are enlisted in the reg
ular army within three months from date
of discharge from the volunteer army.
In these cases, the time actually served
in the volunteers Is added to the time
served in the regular army, In computing
the soldiers service pay, from time to
time.
In the regular army will not be governed
by the same rules which prevailed during
the war with Spain. On May 10 last.
Major General Miles. with the approval
of the secretary of war, issued an order
announcing that men enlisted or re-en-
listed in the regular army during. the
war may be informed that they will be
granted their discharges, If desired, at
the close of the war, upon their individual
applications"
Gen Miles. today, issued an order re-
voking the previous order and announced
that It's provisions would not govern in
the cases of men hereafter enlisted or re-
enlisted in the regular army Under this
action all enlistments or re-enlistments
in the regular army will be for a term OF
3 years, regardless of the present status
of negotiations with Spain for peace.

WHIPPED sY SMELLING SALTS.
Alter Brodsrick Had Licked Connolly, He
Loses BY an Accident.

Yonkers, N. ", Oct. 27.--A most ex-
traordinary ending to the Tom Broder-
ick-Eddie Connolly fight occurred here
tonight. Broderick, by reason of hav-
ing smelling salts thrown into his eyes,
was unable to answer the bell in the
10th round and Mysterious Billy Smith
insisted that Referee Frank Abraha m
should count Broderick out, which the
referee did. and the decision went to
Connolly. Broderick halls from Yon-
kers and Connolly from ST. John.
The fight was the star attraction Of
the opening show if the Waverly Ath-
letic Club and was attended by a large
gathering OF sports. Large sums Of
money We're wagered on the outcome Of
the fight with Connolly the favoritc.
The fight. as far as it went, was a ter
rifle battle. For the first four rounds
the men fought like demons, with hon.
ors even. In the fifth Broderick beat
Connolly's face raw with a series Of
straight left and right hooks. Connol-
ly was tired when he went to his cor
ner. The seventh was all Connolly's.
In the eighth and ninth, however,
Broderick freshened UP and sailed in
and fought Connolly to a standstill.
During the round Connolly fouled his
man time and time again in an en-
deavor to turn the tide in his favor.
When the men went to their corners
it looked like Broderick at 10 to /. I'm
mediately before the bell, Walter De
Baum, Broderick's second, accidentally
threw some smelling salts into Toms
eyes. The bell rang and Connolly adj
to the center of the ring. Brod-
erick, however. was unable to see and
was writing with pain. 1t was then
