OLD CUSTOM ABROGATED Chagrin nt the Success of American Constructors Coupled with Jealousy of Her Ship Plans Ascribed as the Cause Nunl Officers Surprised at the Edict. Lieutenant Commander Cowles, the naval attache of the United States embassy In London, has informed the Navy Depart ment that the Royal School of Naval Architecture at Greenwich will hereafter decline to receive any constructors of the United States Navy. No reason for this action Is assigned. Post graduate courses for American con structorsarestlllopen at Glasgow RUd Paris, and Cornell University has recently added a similar course to Its curriculum. The Glasgow school is a private institution und several members of the construction corps of the United States Navy received advanced training in naval architecture there . WHAT OFFICERS SAY. At the Navy Department several reasons arc ascribed for the action of Uie Greenwich establishment, which is a government affair. It is believed by some officials that the real causc,of the declination to receive any more constructors of our navy ls a desire on the part of the British gov ernment to prevent the United States from obtaining knowledge of English shipbuild ing plans. Another supposititious reasonis that Great Britain believes tliat the United .St. lies government has advanced so far in thu construction of war ships that there is no necessity for n further extension of the courtesy extended our voting constructors, when they can receive equally good training at home. JEALOUS OF OUR CADETS. But a far more interesting suggestion Is that the British naval authorities have become "nettled over the success of the American constructors at Greenwich in taking prizes over the heads of the Uritish students. Nearly every year a member of the naval construction corps of the United States has taken either first or second prize, and sometimes both these prizes ha-ve been secured by the young Americans. During the past twelve years the United States Government has sent to the Green wich school graduates of the Naval Acad emy at Annapolis, who were given ap pointments as assistant naval constructors. These have received valuable training and return to the United States thoroughly equipped for the work of designing warships-. EXPLORING HUDSON BAY.

T Every Restriction On Account of the Epidemic Removed. FINANCES ARE CRAMPED Ashford's Case Becoming Quite In teresting His Commission from the Ex-Queen as Associate Justice Helled Upon to Prove Ills Treason able Conduct. '(From a Staff Correspondent of tthe United "Press, per' Steamship Mariposa)"""""' Honolulu, Oct. 17, via SanTraricisco. Oct. 24. It Is twenty-nine clayssiuce tlie cholera epidemic ended and fifteen days 6lnce the last one of three later scattering cases. Nearly every restriction caused by the pestilence has been removed by the board of health. A few shght precautions arc still continued forafewdayslouger. Bath ing and rishing in the lorborand in Nunanu streantare still prohibited, somedoubt being felt whether some germs may cot linger there. The council has appropriated $25,000 more for expenses or pestilence, making SGO.OOU in all. This will cover the cost of a fumlgatiugplantyettoarrive. This, with the cost ot insurrection, makes nearly 5200,000 extra expense this year, and some what cramps the public finances. ASHIORD'S CASE. The case ot V. V. Ashford is assuming an Interesting phase. Ashford was convicted last February f misprision of treason, but soon after pardoned on condition of exile, being in ill health. The British govern ment, on reviewing the evidence at his trial, expresses! the opinion that he was convicted on in-ufficient testimony, the chief wit ness against htm ln-ing an accomplice, Sam Nowleen, the military leader of the In surgents, and corroborative-testimony being slender. A pivee of evidence mncli relics! upon by the prosecution was Ashford's apimlnt nient by the ex-Queen Io be associate Justice of the supreme court, which was fully attested by documentary evidence. Liliuo kalani issues! such a commission to Ashford last December In the face of the fact that i he had recently been her grossest defamer before Commissioner Blount. This commission was universally re garded by the public as the price of Ash ford's helping the ex-queen with his mil itary experience. But the military com mission threw out that piece of evidence on the ground that Ashford's knowledge of his being so commissioned had not been proved. GOVERNMENT HA 8 FULL PROOF. A new feature In his case has now arisen by the government having secured the full est testimony of Ashford's complicity from a person in closest intimacy with him. As Commissioner Haws has only Just been Informed of this, particulars caunot now be obtained. The United States cruiser Olympia lies In the outer roadsti-ad. The United Suites gunboat Bennington lies near the Olympia. All are well on both ships. Much excitement prevails among the Japanese of Honolulu about the eiocted arrival of a Japanese cruiser bringing a new consul general. These Japanese have held a public meeting to denounce the Hawaiian government for having prevented the steamship China, as they allege, from bringing a mall from Yokohama, in order to discourage Japanese trade here, which Is absurd.

When the crash came the scene was beyond description, the escaping steam and smoke covering everything with a dense cloud. Immediately the fire bells were ringing and a general alarm was given for help, to which nearly all the in habitants responded. The quick response of the Hyde Park firemen, with crowbars and every avail able implement, served to relieve the sad situation at once. The Injured were re moved as fast as possible to the station where, their Immediate wants were at tended to. That no instant death occurred is miraculous. Brakeman Austin, of the forward train, was Injured in an awful manner, both of his legs being broken and his abdomen pierced by an iron liar, while he vrai Jammed between two cars in such a po sition that it was nearly half an hour be forehe could be extricated by the firemen.

So far as can be learned no good reason could be given for the fatal occurrence.--The first train being late, a flag should have been se-nt back to s.'gral the rear train, which, it is claimed, was not done. Engineer Brumman claims that darknew prevailed to such a degree that he couM not see the signals for any distance, and also that the cloud of steam obstructed bli Tiew. CCJIA WILL HAVE I1EH DAY.
