SYDNEY, September 4. (Received September 6, 1887, at 1.30 a.m.)
The Revs, George Brown and Fletcher, delegates of the Wesleyan Commission to Tonga, have returned here by the s.s. Lubeck. They report that all was quiet at Tonga, and express a hope that some means will be devised by which the two churches there will be united. They refuse to divulge the doings of the Comstisaiou, as their report will be laid before the Wesleyan Conference on Wednesday. The Lubeck brings news of the arrival of the German naval squadron at Samoa, but its object had not been divulged.
