COLLISION AT NEW YORK.
The Gunboat Dolphin Runs Into 8
Eerrv-Boat

NEW YORK, Aug. IA collision &C.
Cured this morning between the ferrv-
boat New York of the WILLIAMSBURG,
line, and the United States gunboat
Dolphin. The bow of the gunboat
cut through the ferryboat into the en-
CINE room, breaking the main shaft and
damaging the machinery. The gun
boats bow was bent, and several feet
of the rail torn away.
The New York was in the center of
the river when the Dolphin, which was
coming up stream, signaled that she
would cross her bows. The New York s
engines were stopped, but the strong
current carried her directly in the path
of the Dolphin, and the gunboat's bow
struck the ferryboat just ahead of the
paddle box.
The ferryboat, with the aid of tugs.
reached the slip at Broadway. Willms-
burg. Secretary of the Navy Long
| was aboard the Dolphin.
That the injuries to the Dolphin were
trifle is evidenced by the fact that she
continued on her way up the river ard
passed City Island at $40 a. m.

co.
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, who is
now in command of the regiment, in
the course of an interview tonight,
said: 1.-The boys are all glad, of course,
to get back home again, but their joy
is tinged with sadness on account OF
the death Of Colonel Hawkins. The
Colonel was a most kind and consider
ate commander, who took keen in
dividual interest in his men, and it is
little wonder, therefore, that the boys
feel that his loss is a personal bereave-
ment.
Colonel Hawkins was a sick man at
the beginning of the campaign, which
ended in the capture of Malolos. The
regimental surgeon had advised him to
retire for rest and medical attention,
but the Colonel peremptorily refused,
declaring that he would go wherever
his men went When the final volley
was fired at Malolos Colonel Hawkins
was right in front of the firing line,
urging his men onward and encourag-
ing them with his exhibition of per-
sonal bravery. After that decisive bat
tie the ColoneFs illness increased. The
ailment developed rapidly in the I'M
healthy climate. After we embarked
he sank steadily, and his death at sea
was not unexpected

MOODY Is DEAD.

The news Of the death Of Dwight l..
Moody will be heard with sorrow
throughout the Christian world, and
particularly among EnglIsh-speaklng
nations. He and the late famous
preacher, Mr.. c. II. Spurgeon, may
properly be called two witnesses, whose
testimony has been heard In sermon and
song, in exhortatlon and anecdote, loud
er and clearer than that OF any other
representatives Of the pletism Of this
century.
They are both gone Dwight L. Moody
was born in Mortified, Mass. on the
9TH of February 1887. His early educa-
ton was that OF the average country
lad at that time. In 1856 he went 10
Chicago and became interested In mis-
sionary work. During the Civil war
he was employed to do missionary SER
vice, and again, shortly before and dur
ing the war with Spain, he was very
active. II was his firm conviction that
reviyals nearly always precede great
calamities, and his observations Of life
seemed to Justify this.
The Chicago fire in 1871 took place In
the midst OF a revival" Mr.. Moody
used to say that he committed terri
BILE mistake at that time. when one
evening he told his audience to consid-
err until next day, whether they would
serve the Lord or not. The next day.
Chicago was a smoking ruin, and some
of his audience had already been hurled
into eternity.
Mr.. Moody obtained his greatest fame
in 1873, when he was called to go tot
London to start revival there. In
company with Ira d. sankey he visited
England. Scotland and Ireland, and
created much religious enthusiasm.
Moody was unique character He
had no conception, apparently, of
church. with a divinely Instituted or
ganization, or officers having divine
authority. But he was deeply i'm
pressed with the reality Of eternity, and
with the awful consequences Of sin here
and hereafter. He therefor appealed
to his fellowmen, with oil the fervor
ami burning zeal of a preacher Of
repentance, to flee from the wrath to
come. Figures like those Of Sturgeon
and Moody are exceptional in a world
Of levity, doubt, and mammonworship.
When they disappear there is some
thing missing, and the vacuum cannot
be filled by imitators. Moody was
faithful as far as he had light. His
reward will be ample. The world will
regret his absence

HAWAirs STATUS.

The people Of Hawaii are showing a
little annoyance at congressman who
think the islands should be given a pro-
stationary form Of government such as
is suggested for Puerto Rico and the
Philippines Hawaii came into the

entity from the Spanish American pos
sessions. or at least that 1t ought to
be considered differently in providing
a form Of government for It. II is a
thoroughly Americanized country, and
practically an English speaking coun-
try. Its form Of government
is modelled on the American
system, and even under the
monarchy It had a popular and repre-
sentative government. These condi-
tions make the people think they
should not be compelled to take back
seat with those who have not enjoyed
such liberties or exercised such func-
lions OF elf-government, but should
be allowed at least the powers Of the
ordinary Territorial government In the

proposed action, were not in any sense
relevant % the case OF Mr. Roberts.
The gentleman thus treated made no
argument then as to his personal or
family relations, for the House had no
right at that stage Of the proceedings
to inquire into them. He properly con-
fined his remarks to the question which
was before the House. that Is, his prima
facle right TO his seat. There Is no such
qualifications required of a Member Of
Congress as that pretended. II Is not
provided that member must be a mo-
nogamlst, a bachelor or a widower.
The consignment Of this case to a
committee composed Of six Republicans
and three Democrats all Of whom had
voted against Mr.. Roberts. and not one
OF the number who had voted in favor
Of his being sworn in, was also unprece-
dented and in the nature Of packing a
jury against him. The whole movement
was a monstrous blunder. II is now adj
miited generally that the action Of the
House in this case was entirely wrong,
that Mr.. Roberts should have been per-
mitted to take his seat, and then the
charges against him might be invesu.
gated by proper committee.
The general opinion Is that the gentle
man thus outrageously treated will be
denied his seat, not because evidence
has been adduced sufficient to condemn
him, but because Of popular demand,
based on ignorance Of the facts and
caused by prejudice inhamed to fever
heat, which the majority Of Congress
men feared to deny.
Meanwhile Mr.. Roberts Is the most
noted man In America. The Church Of
which he Is a member has been brought
into unparalleled prominence. Many
thousands Of people are inquirlng into
its doctrines. The result VIII be favor
able to the truth. Utah is now mallgned
like Its choice for Representative In

umny and shine the brighter for the

ing, and when she comes out Of the

raised the storm against her, while re-
joicing for a little time will later hide
their diminished heads. Shame will
cover the slanderer and the hypocrlte,
while the true and devoted sons and
daughters OF the mountain State will be
