The Earthquake on the Sandwich Islands.
New YORK, March 10. The following

New YORK, March 10. The following
is the ITerald's special account:
IIuNoLULu. March 9 At 1907 on the
evening Of the Sth of February very
severe shock of earthquake was expert
cnced on this island The walls Of all
the stores or adobe buildings, with four
exceptions, We're injured, and the college
buildings ut Pnnahan damaged extensive
ly. Many persons rushed into the streets
from their beds Three distinct motions
We're felt shaking horizontally, then per-
pendcularly, and the finish was dis
tinct wave, like motion from the south
west The violence of the shock lasted
about 30 seconds, and the whole fully a
minute.
At Lahaina much damage was done to
buildings, but the Seminary buildings suf-
tered most, the walls being shaken to
pieces though they did not fall. Other
localities did not suffer much. At Malahai
nearly all the stone walls were levelled
and the frames Of buildings were thrown
down The road to Leper was DESTROYED.
At Lamaia the shock was very severe.
Clcfts opened in different parts of the is
land and valleys were filled with masses
of earth and rocks shaken from mountain
tops.
On Hawaii but little damage was done.
IIilo and Kan districts received slight
shaking The volcano was very active
but evidently had no participation in the
earthquake. Persons on two different
islands state that bright light was visi-
BILE OFF the eastern shore. The chimneys
on sugar plantations suffered little. Sew
eral shocks, not so severe, have been cx-
pcrienced since.
Two companies of Chinese have land

New YoRK, March 10. The ostraciSm
of Senator Sumner is commented upon by
all the papers this morning. The Sun
says: ''TLis great wrong to Mr.. Summer
may not elevate him to the Presidency,
but it will certainly put an end to the pull
lie career of Gen Grant the 4th March,
1922
The Herald says; This quarrel be.
tween Gen Grant and the great Senate
rial Radical thunderer from Massachu-
sets means mischief to the Republican
party. The effect may be felt in the APP
preaching elections in New Hampshire
and Connecticut, for there are many Re
publicans in the New England States who
hold Senator Sumner as the Magnus Apol-
10 of their party, and Gen. Grant as a
young apprentice who needs still consid-
cradle schooling to become genuine rad
zeal. AS far As possible. harmony should
be sought between the President and that
particular member of the Senate who rep
reSents il in our international affairs. The
difficulty is clear and the remedy is sim
pie alter all but finally, upon this direct
issue between the President and the Sen
ator, the Republican party Of the Senate
must stick to the President Otherwise
the whole organization becomes democrat
lied. and a scrub race for the succession
is unavoidable"
The Tribune SAYS: I'VE cannot cunsid-
en- the removal of Mr.. Sumner from the
craftsmanship Of tlle Committee on For
eigr Relations rs an outrage or anything
of the sort, vet we will not conceal our
profound regret that any such action should
have been deemed necessary or advisable
M, bn, s, I,t
but he is emincntly a Senator and has
people We could have wished that this
seeming indignitv might have been spared
hint"
The Times says nothing editorially, but
its Washington dispatch states that Sum
ner declares indiscriminately to his visit
ors that Gen. Grant ought to be impcach
ed and Il few nights since At u dinner
where were present the representatives of
foreign Governments, he met the mention
of the Presidents name for denomination
with similar declaration, in language 50
strong that the whole table was startled.
He is known TO have filled his forthcom-
ing speech with expressions toward the
President not only with disrespect, but of
an insulting character, and these he has
called upon him.
The World says-Evidently the Repub
lican party has lost all its old vitality when
a new convert and purchased adherent
like Gen. Grant can deposo and degrade
an old dyed-in-the-woo Republican like
Mr. Sumner, who was a shining light in
the party when ex-Capt, Grant was n
drunkard in the gutter, without sufficient
character or intelligence to concern him
self about any kind of politics. Before
Sumner gets through roasting him, Grant
will wish the Island Of Santo Domingo
sunk in the caribbean Sea. The thanks
OF the Democratic party are due to Gen.
Grant for precipitating Il disruption of the
Republican organization. There are too
many Republicans who heartily despise
their incompetent. pig-headcd President
for this quarrel to blow over

Our City Election.

The result of the election on M onday is
q credit to the intelligence Of the voters
of Belfast. At time when our affairs
call for the most careful supervision and
discreet handling, the people, discarding
all considerations of party and of prefer
ence upon other grounds than those of in
telligence, integrity and fitness for the
several positions, have elected city gov
eminent in which these qualifications are
conspicuous. The best evidence of this
is found in the fact that as soon as the
ticket was before the public, all opposi-
ton melted away and disappeared. We
congratulate our citizens upon the result,
with the hope and belief that through the
labors of the new government the best
results in our affairs may be reached.
Our citizens should understand that the
new government enters upon year in
volving a great deal of care labor and
responsibility, in which there can be no
possible compensation save the approba-
ton of their fellow citizens and the con-
ciousness Of having done their duty.

If the administration continues on its
present course much longer, there will be
nothing worth having in the country,
which will not be let out in a vast mo-
nopoly to some pets, to be enjoyed only
by their permission and for their profit.
The latest subject of this policy IS the
monopoly Of the catching of fur seals on
the coast of AlasRa-a scheme of Mr..
Boutwell's. 1t seems that the ten millions
paid for this conglomeration Of ice-bergs,
was for the simple purpose of setting up
few administration barons as lords of
the region, with the exclusive right to
skin at once the seals and the people.
The California papers are ventilating the
subject The San Francisco Bulletin of Il
recent date says
There has been nothing like it since the char
ter of the East India Company. whole
| country has been purchased and handed over
to single trading company, which, having n
monopoly of the fur seal business in Alaska by
virtue of legislation shutting out all other fur
seal fishing from the rest of that vast region
for all practical purposes, has taken posSessi on
of nearly all that is at present of any comm En-
cial value in that territory.
Reading the future history OF the San
Domingo annexation by the light reflect
ed from this transaction, what are the
people of the country to conclude will be
the result of that tropical annexation ?
How long before al! that is worth having
down there will be foreclosed and taken
possession of by administration favorites,
with only the privilege remaining, to the
people of this country, of defending them
in their plumber, by the army and navy,
and paying the bills.
