Fifty Apprentices Sent to the Bennington and
 Baltimore.
They Had Lots of Fun on the Wharf Before the Mari
 pOsa Sailed.
sClinabed the Fences and Visited Ad- jacent Saloons in Spite of
 Watchnnen.

There was considerable amusement eon the Oceanic dock yesterday prior to 2 the sailing of the steamer Mariposa for Australia. Fifty apprentice boys and two marines were brought down from Mare Island on the tug UnadiIla. They are intended for the gunboat Ben nington ana the cruiser Baltimore. now at Honolulu, and were landed at Pacific street wharf to take passage on the Mail boat. The boys wanted to take a run uptown the worst kind of a way. but the instructions to the dock officials were not to allow them off the wharf It was impossible to keep them in, however. They could not get past Harry, the gatekeeper, but they did manage to climb the fences at the head of the wharf and made their escape in that way into the street in squads. Finally a watehman was put on each fence and an attempt was made to re- strain the boys in that way. but it was useless. Two or three of the boys would keep the watchman busy while two or three more would slip past him. Before anything could be done the lads would be over the fence and down East street on the run.
 The apprentice boys are all from the sloop-of-war Adams. and have com pleted one cruiset Thirty-five of them have been drafted for the Baltimore and fifteen for the Bennington. On the completion of this cruise, if they be- have themselves, they will rank as first-class apprentices, and will be in line of promotion to petty and warrant officers. Some of them did not make very good start yesterday, as they tOek- advantage of their escape from the wharf to purchase tobacco and cigars, and some of them came back slightly the worse for liquor.
 The apprentice boys on the Mohican will not go to sea for some time, or, in fact, not until the trouble with Spain is settled. In fact, there is some talk of sending the Mohican back to the navy yard to be built up and of trans ferTing the boys to the Independence in the meantime.
 The Mariposa took away quite a number of passengers, the bulk of whom were for Honolulu. A big crowd of people were down to see them off and everybody on the ship was decked with flowers brought down by their friends and relatives. President San ford B. Dole had a wreath around his neck and stood on the poop deck sway ing backward and forward with the motion of the ship and waving adeu to the bevy of young ladies who had been kissing him goodb by in his cabin ten minutes previously. President Dole was in a particularly good humOr and annexation seemed very far away from his thoughts when the steamer backed away from the wharf. The fol- lowing passengers went out on the Mariposa:

 Betting on the fight closed with Ryan a strong favorite at 10 to 5. In the Paris mutuals considerable money was bet that the fight would end in eighteen rounds or over. Some of the sports evidently were posted on the game. The pugilists agreed to divide the fighters end of the purse.

WANT AUTHORITY TO ACT.
Suit Against the Estate of the Late
BENJAMIN Buttcrworth


Proceedings were filed in equity yester-
day by Gustav Stahl against Mary E. But
terworth and William Butterworth, execu-
tors OF the estate of the late Benjamin
Butterworth, and the National Chautauqua
of Glen Echo to compel the payment OF
sl,7S9.9l, which the plaintiff alleges is due
him by Edwin Baltzley, 10 whom he sold
the Glen Echo property It is explained in
the complaint that the defendants. Mary E.
and William Butterworth, as executors of
the late Benjamin Butterworth, have un-
der their control 81 1881 on deposit in
local bank to the credit of Benjamin But
terworth, trustee" The latter, IL is set
forth, accepted trust in connection with
an agreement between the National Chau-
tauqua of Glen Echo and Edwin Baltzley,
covering the possession OF Glen Echo. OF
funds placed in the hands of Butterworth
as trustee, the complainant alleges the
sum of sl,7S9.91 is due him on account
of expenditures in improving the premises
mentioned.
The complainant goes on TO say that he
believes the executors are willing to pay
s1,7S9.91 TO the party entitled thereto. but
that they have no authority to execute the
trust imposed upon Benjamin Butterworth,
and are unwilling to assume the RESPONSE
bility OF deciding to whom the sum should
be paid, or to pay the same to the party
entitled thereto.

POLICEMEN FOUND GUILTY.
The Commissioners Approve Major
Sylyester's Recommendation.


Sylyester's Recon- II dation.
The findings of the police judge in two
cases were acted on by the Commissioners
yesterday morning
In the case of John Boland, a mounted
policeman, found guilty OF neglect of duty
weeks ago, Mai Sylvester recommended that
the man be dismonnted and transferred 10
another precinct. The recommendation was
approved by the Commissioners and the
result of the trial made public.
In the case of Policeman ]. T. Fitzgerald.
found guilty of conduct unbecoming an-offi-
Ger. Maj. Sylvester has made the following
recommendation: There is some provo
cation In this case. but, provocation or not,
a police officer should under all circum
stances endeayor to control his feelings and
not give vent TO facts and opinions which
tend to make matters worse.
Il have frequently warned members of
the force against the Use of language more
forceful than eloquent, and in this case
desire to impress upon Private Fitzgerald's s
mind the fact that he is expected TO re-
frain from such language in the future as
was INDUCED in on this occasion, and TO
justify his conduct to the requirements of
the manual, or l shall be necessitated to
resort to more serious recommendation
than the above, which is submitted as
reprimand."
Maj. Sylvester's views on the matter
met the approval of the Commissioners
and Policeman Fitzgerald will be repri-
manded.

FOR CAPTURING DEsERTERs.
Two District Policemen to Receive
Government Rewards.

Several members of the police force have
distinguished themselves lately by the cap
ture of deserters from the Marine Corps,
and these arrests are about TO result 10 their
benefit from a financial point of view. One
OF the regulations of the Marine Corps pro-
vides that $40 reward shall be paid to those
securing the persons Of deserters from the
corps and conveying them to the nearest
marine barracks. Policemen Austin and
Mason, OF the Fifth precinct, have each a
deserter to their credit on the books Of the
Navy Department, and the checks for the
amount of the rewards offered were sent
TO Lieut.. Gessford. of the precinct 10 which
the men belonged, for distribution to the
lucky policemen.
II is not customary to allow policemen
TO accept rewards for the performance of
their duty, but Mai. Sylvester proposes to
allow the men to have the money donated
by the Government for the apprehension of
the recalcitrant sea soldiers, and he wrote
a letter 10 the Commissioners making that
recommendation. After reviewing the case
Commissioner Wight decided to allow the
suggestion Of the major to go into effect.

PRESENT A DRAMA.
A Large Audience Enjoys the Pro-

"The Hidden Gem" beautiful two-ac
drama written by Cardinal Wiseman for
the students of st. Cuthbert's College,
Ushaw, England. was presented in excel
lent style last evening by the students of
GonZaga College in the assembly room of
that institution. The drama was also pre-
sented at a matinee on Monday and, a
was the case last evening, was witnessed
by large and appreciative audience.
The period of the play was that of En-
peror Honorius and the Potificate OF In
nocent |. and the scene was laid on the
Ayentine. The story tells of the life and
doings of wealthy Roman patrician an
his only son, Alexids. who was educated
with principles OF piety and unbounded
charity. When he was grown Alexius.
by divine command was ordered to leave
his fathers house and lead the life of a
pilgrim. This he did, returning in five
years TO his fathers, where he was receiv-
ed as a stranger, and lived amid the scorn
and i'll treatment OF his own domestics.
The play is full of pathos and humor,
which allowed ample opportunity to those
who took part to display their dramatic
ability. The leading parts were taken
by Messrs. C. Hugh Duffy, as Euphe-
mianus; Ernest E. Briseoe, as Alexius.
and John z. Meagher, whose efforts. IL
measured py nearly applause, were thor-
oughly appreciated by the audience. Wal

comedian and scored many times during
the evening. The others who took part
were Francis E. Harrington, Francis ].

The performance was given under the

the abandonment of coffee entirely, and
