- on a New Rasis.


New York, May 23.-A charter was issued

tribute to Its members only. Its opera
tons and membership will cover the entire
country.
One of the incorporators said:
1.-The decision of the Supreme Court of
Illinois has swept away a number of the
fundamental principles of the association
with which we have been connected, and
has made 1t impossible for the organiza-
ton to go on and meet the needs or fulfill
the desire of members. We have looked
about for some pan, and In full accord
with practically all our associates, have
concluded to organize a new Associated
Press under the laws of New York. We
have In mind simply to carry into this
new corporation all Of the principles that
gave character to the old one, to make no
change whatever In the fundamental the
ories, to preserve intact all the rights of
individual members, and In general, to
find a more congenial domicile than III
nois afforded. The men engaged I'm the
work of Incorporation are simply acting
as trustees for their associates until the

NAVAL STATION QUESTION.
Friends of Savannah Think There Is
Good Chance.


Washington, May 2s.-There we're no de-
velopments to-day in the naval station
matter. The. conferees on the appropria-
ton bill did not meet.
Friends of Savannah are working quiet
ly on the House conferees. and believe
that they will succeed In getting these
gentlemen to insist that the Secretary be
not restricted to Charleston when 1t comes
to selecting a new site for the naval sta
ton, but that he considers all South At
lantic cities.
To-day the Georgians are claiming that
Mr.. Dayton will vote with Mr.. Cum
mings. In other words, both Savannah
and Charleston are claiming the gentle
man from West Virginia. and he seems
to have given assurances to both.
If all three OF the House conferees
should earnestly support Savannah, there
is, of course, chance to beat Senator
T1llman, and the other conferees of the
Senate. but the chance is not very great
one.

TO he NO MORE ITINERANCY.
That Plan Abolished by Methodist
General Conference


Chicago May 23--By a vote OF 43s to 23a
the Methodist General Conference to-day
abolished the time limit of pastorates, thus
finally disposing of one of the most im-
portant questions before the great Metho-
dist body and doing away with one of the
fundamental features of the itinerant sys-
TENS of the denomination.
Hereafter, according to the amendment
to the discipline adopted by the conferences
to-day, preachers will be appointed an
nually by the bishops, with no limit on
the number of years a pastor may serve
one congregation, except the limit imposed
by his own ability and popularity with his
congregation. He will still be a pilgrim
and a stranger, but he may tarry longeH
than FIVE years.
Fraternal greetings were exchanged with
the Presbyterian General Assembly now in
session at st. Louis.

Matter of Misunderstanding.
Andrews said. further.

MT. Andrews Salu, IuTtfleT.
Il certainly, to my knowledge, made no
statement to Mr. Humphreys Of the pur-
port of which he stated in the conven-
ion The conversation he refers to was
4 casual one had during the convention
in which the question of having a time
limit before voter Is entitled to vote at
a primary was brought up and in which
/ gave my opinion that such time linn
it was necessary to honest primaries.
Mr.. Humphreys misunderstood me,
when he thought that / was seeking to
deprive the natives or any class Of citi-
zens from participation in Republican af-
fairs.
Il still believe that 1t would have been
better to have made such a rule, but
that is a matter which the future will
show whether l am correct in not.
Not being present at the convention dur
ing the afternoon evening session, l
was entirely taken by surprise when l
saw the account of the attack on myself
in the Advertiser, and felt much panied
that a gentleman whom I esteemed as
highly as l do Mr.. Humphreys should at
tack me in my absence.
only did Mr.. Humphreys merely mention
the matter by way of argument in sup
port of his speech but toward the close
of the convention he repealed an attack
on me by other delegates, stating that
the attack was not manly in my alb
sence. This is only what l should have
expected from a man of Mr.. Humphreys
chivalry.'

Humphreys Esteems Andrews.

Mr.. Humphreys. upon being approached
in regard to the above letters. said:
mr. Andrews and myself sustain init
mate professional and social relations.
Neither of US have ever had occasion to
question the veracity of the other, nor
will we permit third persons to impeach
that veracity or to raise such an issue be-
tween US. In my speech on the floor OF
the convention yesterday / did not men
ton Mr.. Andrews name. Indeed, l ex-
pressly and designedly refrained from so
doing. But 1 confess that l had him in
mind, and the assault which l made upon
the unnamed third person was intended
for him.
1.-The attack. however. was political and
not personal. Without intending-ex-
pressly disclaiming any intention to in
any wise reflect upon Mr.. Andrews, l
must now take the stand that the state
ment which 1 imputed to him was cor
rect Mr.. Andrews denies this. The ques-
ton, then, simply becomes one of mem
DRY and understanding. There is neither
an issue of good faith nor veracity be-
tween us. I reaffirm my high regard for
Mr.. Andrews as a gentleman and citi-

No Question of the Veracity of the
Latter Was Raised BY
Either.

Now that the heat of the day is over,
the work done and the laborers able to
rest in the shade of accomplishment,
there Is time for that courtesy and ac-
cording of a gentleman due now and
again lost sight of when the strenuous
hand is at the pillow. The following COM
munications and interviews from Curtis
p. Iaukea, Lorrin Andrews and A. s.
Humphreys show in unmistakable lam
guage that these gentlemen esteem one
another highly and that whatever may
have been inferred from words spoken in
the heat of debate, each recognizes the
worth Of the other and imputes no wrong
to him:
G. p. Iaukea's Statement.
During the discussion in the Republican
convention of last evening l took occa-
sion, in supporting the principles of good
government, to impute to a gentleman
mot of the convention, but of the party
motives, to my mind, calculated to bring
disrepute and injury to the Republican
party of Hawaii.
A s. Humphreys has made the public
charge upon the floor of the convention
that the purpose of the authors of the
committees report, then under discus
sion, was to prevent the Hawaiian and
Portuguese voters from carrying the pri-
maries and controlling the Republican
party.
Lorrin Andrews, the alleged author of
the report. has this morning denied to
me having made any such statement to
Mr.. Humphreys, or having entertained
any such purpose as was imputed by Mr..
Humphreys to the authors of the report.
This brings the matter question of We
racity between Mr.. Humphreys and Mr..
Andrews. While not receding from the
stand l took in denouncing any method
which, In my opinion, would ALLEVIATE
from the party the support of the Ha-
waiian vote, | feel that an injustice has
been done Mr.. Andrews, and / now pub
licly withdraw anything which / may
have said rejecting upon him.
