HONOLULU, Sept. 26.—The ship Marian Chileott, whigh arrived here September 24, after having lost three men overboard in a gale off the coast qf California on the | morning of September 11, is rather badly | battered. Captain Williams tells the story of the troubles of the Chilcott as follows: “We left San Francisco on September 10 at 10 o'clock at night, and before we had | hardly gotten past the lighthouse we ran | right into a gale. We had laid around the | lightship from 10 in the night untfl 2| o'clock the next morning. There wasn't a | breath of wind, when suddenly we ran | into the gale.

Services were held during the morning. On account of the absence of many chap- lains from their command, due to illness and other causes, the soldiers from two or th regiments participated in each service. The Michigan brigade attended a military mass conducted by Father Kel- ly. The mass was sung in a huge tent, provided by the Michigan branches of the <nights of Columbus. During the afternoon the camp was in- spected by thousands of sightseers from Louisville and the surrounding country. The regimental bands gave concerts in the open air. iovernor Durbin of Indiana slept with State’s militia, which bivouacked to- night six miles from camp on the Nash- L R e e ] ) fected the members in the hall slowly be- gan to settle down to quietude. ADMINISTRATION ATTACKED. Peace, however, reigned for only a few minutes, for the new presiding officer had barely finished his address to the assem- speakers were on their feet making all kinds of motions, most of which were in the nature of a| demand for a prolongation of the investi- | gation of the affairs of the French hos- pital and the condeémnation of the entire administrative powers of the institution. Every time an attempt was made to modify these attacks on the absent ad- ministrative committee, the speaker was | interrupted by vociferous yells of disap- proval, which made it plainly apparent | that what is commonly known in the French soclety as the Chartrey-Bosquet | clique was absolutely in control of the meeting. Eventually a resolution was adopted by a standing vote, emphasized with much noise expressing a lack of confidence in the, hospital administration and this was followed by another resolu- President Bozio and his fellow committee- | men reached the main exit there was a | tion that the sense of the meeting be pub- lished in full in the local French news- terrific roar of yoices, WILD TURMOIL FOLLOWS.

There was also introduced a resolution demanding the immediate restoration of Dr. Canac-Marquis to the position of chief surgeon of the hospital, but this was finally remodeled to the form of a recommendation, it being explained that the appointment of surgeons and other employes of the hospital rested entirely with the administrative committee, - As the hour was getting late and the majority of those present had apparently severely exercised their lungs and ex- hausted their vocabulary, the motion was made that a new committee of investiga- tion be appointed to further probe into the affairs of the hospital and the follow- | ing gentlemen were named for this duty: A.

Warmly Expresses Her Views at Close of Honolulu Convention. A Bpectal Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, Sept. 26.—The second polit- ical convention for nominating candidates for county offices has just been concluded. It was held by the Home Rule party, whose leaders in the Legislature recently expressed their antagonism to American~ ism and to any attempt to promote an increase in the population here by the in- flux of settlers from the mainland. This anti-American Home Rule party has nominated twelve Hawallans for the county offices, their leader being Former Delegate to Congress R. W, Wilcox, who runs for the office of Sheriff. Two rene- gades, who deserted the Republican party because they failed to get nomina- tions, were welcomed with open arms by the Home Rulers—James H. Boyd, former Superintendent of Public Works, being nominated for Supervisor, and Curtis P, Jaukea for Assessor and Tax Collector. Among the other nominees is C. W. Booth, who tried to sell some property, valued at $10,000 for assessment, for water works purposes to the Government for $250,000, his chief supporters in the deal being Home Rule members of the Legislature. Princess Theresa, wife of Robert Wil- cox, the Home Rule leader, has bolted the ticket, being dissatisfied with some of the | nominations, The Princess runs a weekly paper called “The County,” that supports the Home Rule party, and the lady edi- tor's utterances in the next issue should be Interesting if expressed as warmly and strongly as her views were at the close | of the convention. Taken all in all, the Home Rule ticket | 1s far from belng a strong one, and the | Republicans should be able to elect the first county officers in the Territory of Hawail by steady work during the next six weeks. —_———— LONDON STOCK MARKET IS BECOMING STEADIER Low Prices Attract Small Investors and Buying Orders Help to Re- store Confidence. LONDON, Oet. 4. — The stock market closed steadler yesterday, after one of the ost disturbed weeks experienced since the Baring crisis, and all the departments showed a shade of improvement on the prices of the previous Saturday.

SR Specfal. Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, Sept. 26.—The conflict be- tween the clvil and military authorities in Honolulu, due to the action of the-mil- itary in removing from Camp McKinley two soldiers who were under indictment for burglary, has not ended. The affair has occasioned some very bitter corre- spondence, part of which has been filed in the Circuit Court. Judge Gear is emphat- ically of the opinion that the men should be brought back from California, where they have been transferred, and Judge Robinson holds the same view. The court insists that all the correspondence shall be placed on flle before fugther action is taken. These soldlers broke into the mountain home of Chief Justice Frear in the early -spring. Last March the counsel for the men who were then in Oahu Jail, together with Captain Plerce of the United States army, called at the office of the Attorney General and represented that the military authorities were very anxious to obtain control of the men pending the civil trial, so as to inflict military punishment upon them and pledging thelr word that the men would be held subject to the order of the civil authorities until their cases were finally disposed of. Relying upon these assurances the Attorney General made a motion before Judge DeBolt that the de- fendants be released upon their own rec- ognizance, stating in open court that the military authorities would be responsible for the appearance of the men when they wer® wanted. The court granted the re- quest and the prisoners were turned over to Captain Plerce. Later Major John Mec- Clellan asked that the civil authorities dismiss the cases in order that the men could be sent out of the Territory. This request was denied by Attorney General Andrews, Notwithstanding this fact the men were placed on board the Sierra on April 7 and transferred by the military authorities to San Francisco. When the cases were called at the May term Judge Robinson and At- torney General Andrews both wrote to the War Department at Washington. Later a letter from the War Department stated that the case had been referred to the department of California, and General McArthur also wrote expressing his re- grets and asking that the civil authorities here drop the cases as an act of courtesy to the War Department. All the corre- spondence is to be produced in court on Monday. —_———— Injured Seaman Libels Vessel. HONOLULU, Sept. 26, — The ship Er- skine M.

BOSTON, Oct. 4.—The quietness of Sun- day was stirred to-day by the sound of martial music as the Honorable Artillery Company of London and {ts hosts, the Anclent Honorable Artillery Company of this city, marched through some of the Back Bay streets to Trinity Church. The services in that edifice had been arranged by thé British residents of this city, and the parade included, besides the two mili- tary bodies, those army and navy vet-| erans of the British service whose homes are in this city. The line of march was well lined with spectators. The procession was under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel C. S. Courtney, whose staff for the day included many British officers, members of a large number of independ- ent military organizations of New Eng- | land and several officers of the United States army. At the conclusion of the service the parade reformed and marched to the American House, where the several organizations were entertained at lunch- eon. Some members of the visiting corps, in- cluding the Earl of Denbigh, did not at- tend the services at Trinity Church, but went to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross | with Mayor Collins in the morning. The two orders will leave on their trip to the Middle States and Canada next Tuesday. | — e Death of a Well-EKnown Clergyman. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Oct. 4—Rev.
