TIE POLYNESIAN.
SATURDAY, DEC. 5, 1910.

The Exploring Squadron has now left
our hagbor to cruise in various directions.
The Porpoise has sailed $50 it is said) for
the southern groups, to return here Ill
four months. The Peacock and Flving
Fish to Ascension, Kings Mil Group and
the Carolinc Archipelago, thence to the
Columbia River, in spring, when a store
ship will sail from here for that place,
with all necessary supplies, which will
probably obviatc the necessity of their
returning here. The Ninccnncs has
gone TO Hawaii for the purpose Of max
ing a thorough survey OF the volcano, and
Mauna Loa, and all the interesting points
in that vicinity. She will also 60 to the
Columbia in few months. Much has
been done during the stay of the Squad
ron and we have not doubt but that the
history of the Expedition will give the
most faithful account of the Islands, which
has ever appeared, particularly in all de-
partmCnts of science. The artists, too,
have been busy, and have taken many
views of scenery, costumes, and the por-
traits OF chiefs and common people.
The salt lake at Eva, which has hereto
fore been supposed to be connected with
the sea, and affected by tides, and the
salt the product of evaporation, has been
asccrtaincd to be of mineral formation,
and disconnected with the ocean. Salt
is found $50 feet above the surface of the
lake. It's depth, which was considered
Jathomlcss, (and rightly so,) proved to be
sixteen inches. The harbor at Eva, or
Pearl River, was surveyed, and found
commodous for shipping, with a good
entrance between the reefs, with twenty
three feet of water upon the bar. Hon
olulu harbor and adjacent reefs were also
thoroughly surveyed Astronomical, me-
tcorolo@ical, and magnetic observations
and experiments have been daily and
nightly made at the observatory, with all
the instruments, with which the Expedi-
ton is most literally provided. The PEN
dulum for determining the figure of the
earth, is the first that has ever been car
r'ed on voyage of this nature, and
promises the most interesting results. In
many other respects the stay of the Squad
ron has been most beneficial to the ISL
ands. Business has revived, and much

The impression created on the minds OF
the chiefs by the department of the oill-
GERS. is of the most favorable nature, and
will add much to the already high repu-
tation gained by American officers for
their government and country. 1t is need
less to speak of the unmnglcd satisfaction
and pleasure which the visit has produced
among the residents. The sorrow mani

We have noticed nothing in the proceedings OF
this body, since our last worthy of especial notice.
except it is the action of the Senate on the report OF
the special committee, to whom was referred MIR.
BESroNs resolution, in relation to the assumption oil
the State debts. The report called forth cons'dcra-
bic debate, and an interesting display of talent
Several Senators mado speeches, both for and against
the Report, among the former, tho effort OF Mr..
CALHOUN is spoken Of almost universally as master
piece. Thirty thousand copies of tho Report were
ordered to be printed. Tho indications are pretty
conclusive, that the suggestion of Mcssrs. Barring
g. BROTHERS on this subject, are not likely to meet
much favour in the Senate.
