The ErilcDS Fitting Out Tw*) Schooners for Eehring Sea.

Said vessels will ..each carry a heavy swivel, besides two smaller guns, and disguised as sealers will tempt a seizure, so as to bring on an en counter. Regarding the latter story, Captain Scott, the veteran sealer, says the report no doubt is true, but the matter has been kept 'secret The skippers of the two vessels in which he was interested had armed their trews and swore to go to the bottom rather ' than submit to seizure. > TRAI.N-HOBBERS.

DOWNFALL OF THE CABINET. Kalakaua's Ministry Driven to the Wall. New Political Advisers Chosen — Charges Against Ex-Foreign Minister Austin. All Quiet at the Capital. Hon. Jonathan Austin, late Foreign Minister to his Majesty Kalakaua I. ar rived in the city yesterday from Hono lulu on the Oceanic Steamship Company's steamer Mariposa. He brought the first news that has re ached the outer world of the dissolution of the Hawaiian Cabinet, and of the election of a new Ministry. It will be remembered that the last steamer from the islands brought the first tidings of the impending crisis. At that time the crash had not yet come, but events had already occurred of such a nature as to foreshadow the downfall of the Ministry, When the Mari posa left the island capital, the big row had occurred, but ended with out violence, and affai rs in the kingdom were exceedingly quiet A ministry had gone the way of all Cab inet Ministers, and tlie Government felt secure. Nothing of an alarming nature happened to arouse the apprehensions of the good kind Kalakaua, and he still reposed In his palace in the confidence of peace maintained. COMPLEXION' OF the new CAT.ISET. Mr. Austin was seen last night, and was found to be, in person and manners, the ideal diploniate. Well advanced in years, but with the bearing of a man of affairs, he talked freely and with charming frank ness. Beseemed to regard his downfall philosophically and had nc hesitancy In re ferring to it. It may be well, however, to recall the fact that at the time the latest advices were sent out from Honolulu it was stated that the opposition had made a number of serious charges against Mr. Austin, among which was one that he had conspired wltn his fellow-Ministers to selljthe independ ence of the islands. Another was that he had withheld important diplomatic corre spondence, which he claimed to be of a private nature. Speaking of the matter last night to a representative of The Lai.'., he said: "Yes, it is true that the old Cabinet has been compelled to give way to a uew one. It was a bard struggle and we made a good light, but they finally tired us out. A new Cabinet was then formed, composed as fol lows: Minister of Foreign Affairs, John A. Cunimings: Minister of Interior, C.N. Spencer; Minister of Finance, Godfrey Brown, and Attorney-General, Arthur Pe terson. CUAIIUES WITH ISTISIGUI'SO. " The charges against me were that I had not been true to the interests of Hawaii, and that I had been in correspondence with the Stale Department at Washington with a view to sacrificing the independence of the Government It was also charged against me that I had refused to surrender certain letters bearing upon tlie subject I simply denied the charges as untrue and assured the Government that I had at no time lavored a treaty inimical to the interests of the islands. As for the correspondence, it was of a private nature and 1 so stated. I. held that 1 had a right to refuse to surrender it ou that account. "An effort was made by the opposition to impeach Attorney-General Ashfurd and they endeavored to secure a vute of want of confidence against hint, but the Legislature voted it down by the very narrow majority of one. We were apprehensive of a similar motion and although we were unfriendly to Ashford, the entire Miuistrjlresigued, the Attorney-General going out with us things looked exceedingly squally for a time and we feared serious trouble, but for tunately it was averted and quiet main- , tamed. too many would-be leaders. "The opposition was not firmly united. There were too many leaders or would-be leaders, and each one regarded himself as the ail-important man. Wilcox and Mar ques both regarded themselves as tbe leaders, but the latter was the most violent aud the most radical. Neither of them is in the new Cabinet, which, no doubt is for the best. "As it now stands there is not a repre sentative of either fin* ion in it, and it is neither an opposition Cabinet nor yet a Government Cabinet It Is a compromise cabinet therefore, and 1 should s.ty repre sents the best interests of the islands, al though it is not to the liking of either party so far as politics are concerned. 1 am in clined to think, however, that it will please the people, who, after all, have the most at slake." Mr. Austin predicted an era of increased prosperity for the little kingdom, aud stated thai he had not yet made any definite plans for the future. It is his intention to remain, lor a time at least, in this city. FOLLOW. -D BY A GANG. An Assault .M ..It. on Kearny Street on Non-Union Mulders. There was considerable excitement on Kearny and Sutter streets about midnight, caused by a row between four non-union iron-molders and a party of men who have some connection with tho striking molders. Henry Naliorn, who . came from Detroit about three months ago and who was as signed to work at the Pacific Foundry, left bis hotel with three other non-union mold ers about 11:30 o'clock. They Jumped off the Fourth-street car at Kearny and Post streets and walked down the first named street, their object being to have a sight of the city and take a little fresh air. ,i Horn states that they had been but a few minutes on the sidewalk when they were surrounded by a crowd, some of whom began to call "scab." He drew a pistol and flourished it. The crowd scattered . and -Nahorn- started to run, but - was arrested - by Officers Burnett and Charles U. J. McDonald, who charged him with exhibiting a deadly weapon In a rude and threatening manner. At the Central Station the prisoner said: "I was walking along with my three com panions, when ■we were approached by a crowd. At first I was called a 'scab.' Then some one said, 'Take that, you dirty scabl' and 1 was hit from the rear in the side of the head. Then I was struck iv the breast and in the face. My companions were also struck. ■ "I thought things were getting pretty .warm and time to put a stop to these pro ceedings. So I drew imy * pistol in defense of what I thought was an attempt on my life. I never saw any of my assailants be fore. None of my companions drew their pistols. I have a permit to carry one and go had they. I don't know what became of them after the fight am a peaceable man. and am endeavoring to make an honest living." POLITICAL PUDDLE.

Fallon in the chair, and the report was made that the receipts up to date had been 5868 75 and disburse ments 8173 35.

No Light Thrown on Ihe Suicide of ' George F. lilsjelow. ; The newt : of the suicide of George F. . Bigelow in a hotel at Tacoma on Sunday night was received with great regret and surprise 7 by his • many friends in this city, and with the keenest sorrow by ! his aged parents, who live at 1825 Green street. A * visit was paid yesterday to the resi dence of tbe father of the deceased, H. 11. Bigelow. si Both parents were seen,' and each, stated that they had not the faintest idea as to what induced their, son to make away with himself.

Music Question Settled— Parade of the Third. Preparations for tbe celebration of the one hundred and first anniversary of the birth of liberty among the French by the fall of the Bastile prison are nearing com pletion. For several weeks these arrange ments have been progressing and there now remains only the details to lay out The route of procession and those who will participate in it are decided, and though other representative bodies may appear in line the programme, as laid out will not be materially departed from. The only feature not wholly decided upon was regarding the music, and it was that subject which en grossed about two hours of the committee's time last night An understanding was ar rived at on the point most disputed and other points of difference will be settled with ease. The Fourteenth of July Committee held a special meeting last night to dispose of this music question. Emanuel Meyer, Presi dent, was in the chair. The first thing touched upon was the leadership of the bands and a heated dispute ensued between the two aspirants, Victor Hue Paris and M. Mathieu, and their friends. For years M. Mathieu has furnished the music for the French colony, and in return he has often serenaded its citizens and done other little favors. He is a Frenchman of ultra-French blood, a good fellow, loyal to the memory of bis native land. But every quality he boasts has Victor Hue Paris, and a bitter fight was indulged in for the supremacy. Both are members of the Musicians' Union and leaders of first-clats bands, aud that only added to the difficulty. Was Mathieu loyal, so was Paris. Was Mathieu well liked by bis friends, so was Paris by his. For over one hour the com mittee had one voice, and that voice an up- roar. Words were not bandied at sword's point, but belched forth as from a cannon. When thoroughly tired, when each side sat and glared at the other, neither willing to ac cede a point or grant a word, then, and not until then, was the question near its solu tion. At that moment tiie Mathieu faction gave In, and M. Mathieu led the surrender. He consented to Victor Hue Paris having charge of the music, with the understand ing that he should employ him as leader of one of the bands. The opposition grasped the proposition with alacrity, since it was all that could have been acceded| it by a majority vote, and the question was set tled. A letter was read from Colonel T. F. Barry stating that a battalion of the Third In fantry Regiment, N. Q. CL, would participate in the paiade and would be commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel O'Connor. A communication was also received from a firm on Market street offering $1100 for all the privileges of the gardens on the day of celebration. The matter was referred to the Committee on Finance.

The oflicers-elect of Alameda Parlor, X. S. G. XX., will be installed to-morrow even ing by District Deputy Powell of Hay wards. The public schools will reopen to-morrow. The preliminary examination of Peter O'Laughlin on a charge of arson will take place next Tuesday before Justice Byler. A warrant wits sworn out yesterday charging John Wilson with battery. Wil son is a muscular young man, and without any provocation struck Deputy Constable Cramer in the mouth, inflicting painful in juries. Cramer is much smaller than Wil son, whose deed appears very cowardly. Among the many who went from this city to Hay wards to celebrate the Fourth were Ed Waldo, known as "Hayseed," and a young man named Kelly. They imbibed very freely of beer, and becoming angry at each other for sonio tilling reason hud a knock-out. Waldo was too much for Kelly, and sent bim to the ground, where he lay like a log. A Haywards doctor happened along, who examined the prostrate form of Kelly and pronounced hi in dead. The Town Marshal was notified, who hunted up Waldo and placed him In the town lock-up, and intended to put a charge of murder against him. The apparently lifeless form of Kelly was taken to the shop of the vil lage undertaker, and altogether the outlook for Waldo was quito doleful. But a few hours afterward Kelly commenced to show signs of life, and in the evening he was able to return to his home on Santa Clara avenue, near Bay street, in this city. Waldo was confined all the night in the Haywards lock-up, and was released yes terday, as there was no one to make any charge against him.
