to take part in whatever Congress may do.
Some of his friends appealed to him to
return to Indiana and take personal charge
of his fight for denomination, saying that
unless he did so he would be defeated. 1t
was hard TO resist calls so urgent as these.

The Proposed Pearl Harbor station.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-Secretary Long
has sent to Congress a report on the project
for the establishment of a naval coaling
and repair station at Pearl harbor, Hawaii,
submitted by Rear Admiral Miller, COM
mander-in-chief of the naval force of the
Pacific station. The surveys and examina-
tons made by Admiral Miller show that the
capabilities of Pearl harbor as an anchorage
for vessels of large size have been much
exaggerated, and he recommends that the
government should acquire possession of the
whole of the Waipio peninsula, comprising
eight hundred acres of land if a station is
to be located at Pearl harbor. The price
of the land, as held by its present owners,
is a fictitious one, and unless improvements
are made in Pearl harbor the value would
be probably less than $50 per acre. Secre-
tary Long recommends that Reckoning
Point be selected as a site for the contem-
plated station on account of its proximity
to East Loch which has the largest anchor
age as dry docks may be easily built there
and there is ample space to do it and
dock and unlock vessels of any size. He
says the bar can be dredged to a depth of
thirty feet, as in Honolulu, and within the
estimated sum of $105 coo.
