ship Moana has arrived here from
Australian ports, via Honolulu. A press
correspondent writes from Honolulu
under date of August is, as follows:
The congressional members OF the
committee to report on form Of goy-
ernment Tor the territory of Hawaii
arrived August IL on the Mariposa.
The three commissioners met Pres
ident Dole ana his cabinet at the ex-
ecutive building by appointment. TRe
compliments of the president and his
colleagues had been sent to the United
States senator's and the representa-
tives earlier in the day.
To-day the commission met at the
nome of Justice Frear to qualify as
members by taking an oath. AS soon
as the members were regularly listed.
the commission proceeded to elect.a
secretary, stenographer and a ser
geant-at-arms. Senator Cullom Us
chairman. The men for the clerical
positions and the sergeant-at.arms
have been brought from Washingtoni
AS soon as the formaEties at. the
residence of Justice Frear were, fn-
ished, the four other members of the
committee adjourned to the hall>of
the house. the old throne room in the
executive building. and there Held the.
opening business session. This week

Hawaii. They will be on the big is
land six or seven days. The committee
will later make trips to Maui and
Kauai, and may also see Afolakai.
Sessions to he Private.
Senator Cullom said that the ses-
sions of the commission would be pri-
vate excepting when there We're hear
ings. When individuals or delegat tiops
wish to present views or open discus
sions, either in person, by spQkesman
or by attorney, the hall will be open to
all. The senator gave the Impression
that hearings would be granted to all
having any reasonable claims.
The work of the committee will not
be of secret nature, but it is felt the
business can be transacted fmore ex-
peditiously and better in evgryway by
having closed dooYs.
1t is likely, according to Senator Gull
lom, that there will be prepared by the
commission one organic act corre-
spending to the constitution of state
describing the territory, the manner,
method and limitations oflegislation.
This organic act will be supplemented
by many congressional laws bearing
upon customs, land, taxation, the
judiciary, etc. 1t is by no means con-
templated that there shall be any rad
ical changes in thessystem here.
Scope of the Commission.
Senator Morgan. in an interview,
said:
"As to the scope of the commissions
work? That is rather leading question,
but I can answer it by referring you to
the Newlands resolution. we shall keep
within the bounds laid downtn that resolu-
ton and, mark you. we are not going to
make any new laws for you or institute
any radical changes. Our duties are large
ly, IL not wholly. advisory. and we shall
copflne our work as much as possible to
that line"

The democratic judicial convention
is to be held at Carroll tomorrow. AS
the convention has been called before
the Crawford county convention no
authentic delegates can be sent from
this county. In fact as the democratic
caucuses are to be held on Saturday
night it is almost impossible to get any
democrat to go. There is a question as
to legality of judicial ticket nomina-
ted in such manner.

WEST WHIPS MURPHY,
Good Crowd of New Haveners Attend
 Fight in Bridgeport.


 A small army of New Haven ring fol- lowers descended upon Bridgeport last evening to see the boxing show given by the Horizon Athletic club at the Park City theater. The attractions consisted of two return matches, one between Hannigan and O'Brien, the latter of whom received a recent de- cision, and the other between Dan Murphy and Tommy West, who drew recently in Waterbury. Vests friends claim that he was not in condition to meet Murphy in their former bout, but they cannot say it of him as he was last night. The former battle was slated for fifteen rounds and the latter, the star attraction, for twenty.
 At S:45 Hannigan and OBrien shook hands before crowded house. Both looked in fine shape. Each weighed under 125 pounds. Hannigan landed two good right swings on the head in the first, but the men seemed to be feeling each other most of the time. Hannigan had all the best of the sec- ond round, O'Brien slipping down at the close Hannigan improved stead fly during the third and continued to hold more than his own. O'Brien got the worst of every miX-up in the fourth and seemed to be going at the end. O'Brien's face was bleeding at the end of the fifth, but he landed two whistlers, both on the wind, and seem- ed to rally little at the close. Hanni- gan hit more frequently in the sixth, |, He kept up his good work in the sev- enth, receiving, however, a strong one i'll the wind. Hannigan's left did great execution in the eighth, and fierce right opened O'Brien's brow. The lat ter seemed almost out.
 Eannigan smilingly planted left rights on a game and bleeding .adver- saly all through the ninth O'Brien courageously rushed into severe pun Ishment all through the tenth, eleventh and twelfth, but did slightly better in the thirteenth. Hannigan's left on the mark was much in evidence during the fourteenth and the referee called the bout a draw, as both men could stand but TIannigan had earned the fight
 West and Murphy came on at 1( ClpCA, DUH Aoohiiis hl NLul piy Au'il- ed fruitlessly and was knocked dowr three times in succession. The bell saved him. Up to the ninth it was about give and take. In the ninth West did about as he pleased. West showed up strong the remainder of the fight. In the twelfth he knocked Mur- phys head back at will. Murphy landed viciously three times as the seventeenth opened and then was knocked down twice, and was sent tc his corner under protest, and Austir gave the fight to West after the round was nearly over.

promises to swell the total to much larger figures at an early day. The or ganization of this auxiliary department is in charge of Major Gideon. The City of Washington is now said to be well nigh impossible to attack from water on account of the different de- lenses. The river has been blocked off and prepared for mines and torpedoes at point below the notifications, so that 1t Is probable some of the ships of an enemy would be blown out of the water before 1t would be necessary to use the guns at the forts..
 Late tonight the navy department received two brief telegrams from Cap tain Sigsbee at Havana. One relates to some routine matter Of expenditures in connection with the work on the Maine and the other is as follows: Divers report more bodies in wreck. Some in hammocks involved in debris. Probably not recognizable" This dis patch indicates that the divers have finally secured at least partial en- trance to the quarters in the forward part of the vessel where the crew were asleep when the explosion occurred and under which the magazines are. The fact that the divers were unable to cxtricate the bodies shows the fearful obstacles against which they are la boring and bears out the belief that the work of submarine investigation will necessarily proceed slowly.

CAUSE OF WAGE REDUCTION.
Manufacturers and Mill Men Heard by
 Legislative Labor Committee.

Boston, Feb. 24.-In order to hear the manufacturers and mill men the joint committee on labor of the legisla- ture sat to-day in the state house to continue It's hearings on the i1lvesti- gation as to the causes of the reduc- tion of wages in New Bedford, Fall River and other textile cities. Joseph Baker of the Chase mills of Fall River said that the rate of taxation paid by the mills in Massachusetts was very much higher than that of other states. The tax in Massachusetts on the for ty-two mills in Fall River is much more than they will sell for in the market The witness and ex-Congress- man Davis of Fall River, who followed, contrasted the different conditions pre- vafling in Massachusetts and the south, claiming that the latter was much more fortunate. John D. Flint, director in six Fall River mills, also spoke in the same line. He said thirty-flve mills in Fall River are losing money.
 Representative Garrity of the com- mittee asked if they were in business for the health and MT. Flint said: No; they put money in the mills when times were good" The witness was Ques- toned sharply when he stated that money was hired to pay dividends. When asked at what rate he would loan money for this purpose, MT. Flint said per cent, and when one of the committee inquired if he thought 1t was good business policy to loan money on corporation that is not making money to keep the stockholders from kicking, the witness replied that he thought so.

MINNEAPOLIS FLoArED.
The United States Cruiser Which Has Been
 in Drydock All Winter.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-The United States cruiser Minneapolis was success fully f1oated out of the dry dock at the League Island navy yard to-day. The Minneapolise had been in dry dock since last December, to avoid the ice in the river and to have repairs made to her bottom. Notwithstanding all re- ports to the contrary, there is no un- usual activity at the navy yard beyond the extensive improvements that are being made to the back channel which is to be used as a fresh water basin for vessels of the navy. Besides the Minneapolis there are now at League Island the cruiser Columbia, the moni- tor Miantomawoh and the Kathdin, all out of commission at present. There are also eight old monitors at the yard all of them relics of the civil war, but which could be fitted up quickly in case they were needed.

DENOUNCED AMERICAN FLAG.
Unpatriotic Words Accredited to Kings
 ton, N. Y., Clergyman.

Kingston, N. Y. Feb. 24.-German Catholics here are up in arms over an address by Rev. Weber, assistant priest of St. Peters German Catholic church, on Tuesday last at the funeral of Frank Martinelli. Martinelli was a member of St. Peter's commandery, Knights of St. John. Prominent mem- bers of that order say that Father Weber asserted at the funeral ser- vices that it was the duty of every Catholic to take up arms for Spain against the United States, and that every patriotic German Catholic should do all in his power to aid Spain, a Catholic nation. Many even stronger assertions than these are accredited to the priest, including the denunciation of the American flag and the American nation as opposed to a nation repre- sentative of the Catholic faith.
 At a meeting of the commandery held last night strong speeches were made denouncing Father Weber's utter ances, the utmost excitement prevail ing throughout the meeting. Finally a committee was appointed to wait up- on Father Weber and demand an ex- planation as to why he preached such sermon This evening this commit tee called upon the priest and question ed him regarding his anti-American ut terances. In reply Father Weber sim ply said: T preached Catholic ser- mon to Catholic members of my ohurph Tf was nohpdv,S b,1 SinasS yUhat f I said. simply instructed Catholics what it is their duty to do." Father Kuhren, pastor of St. Peters church, is the chaplain of St. Peters com mandery, but for some reason he dele gated Father Weber to of1ciate at Mar tinelli's funeral
