RAINFALL AT EAST MAUI.-As the particulars
come in from time to time of meteorological phenomena,
especially in regard to the rainfall, we take pleasure in
putting them on record, as matters for future reference.
Last week we gave our readers the results Of the obser-
vations of DIR. McKibbin in the city, Captain Smith at
Waikiki otherwise Makikf Mr.. W. ". Hall in Nunanu
avenue, and Mr.. J. K. Wilder in Nuuanu Valleyf For
the month of January, something over eighteen and
a-half inches are reported for Nuunnu Valley by Mr..
wilder Mr.. Hall, a good deal lower down, but still in
the full sweep of the trade winds, reports a trife over
10 inches Capt. d. Smith. at the seaside exposed TO the
full blast from Manoa and Makiki, reports eleven inches
centre of the city, has only nine inches and a half.
From the Koolau side Of the Island we hear that the
rains-for the observance Of the fall Of which they do
not seem to take the care that We do in the city-have
been muchm more evenly distributed throughout the year
than here But we started out to talk about the rainfall
on East Maui-a most important sugar district Of those
Islands-especially since Mr.. Claus Spreckles with his
monied interests has located there. A correspondent
sends us the following interesting information. At
]. NJ. Alexanders point Of observation from the 18th 10
the 29th of January, they claim TO have had % inches Of
rain; at Spencer's plantation,-for the m~onth-thoy re-
port u inches at Haiku IA terrible wet place, as the
writer knows from experienced 2GOf inches AS we
suggested last week,-IoOk out for large crops of sugar
next year. to make up for fhe losses of tho pasf- ia"
very pleasant to know that some Of the districts Of the
Islands which have been somewhat restricted for several
years past in the fsvors Of the pluvial gods, are now
again coming in favor. On the Mokswao side Of the Is
land in the month Of January, there were heavy freshets
iii all the streams. and the ground sodden with wet. 1t
showed on Haleakala on the 9TH, sth, 9th and 18th, aud
from the 25th 70 the 3lst the snow fell two feet deep.
There was thunder and tightening on the oath. The
range of the barometer for the first half Of the month
was high, and the latter part nominal.
New-York tribune., 1879-08-30
PROGRESS IN THE EAST.


Two important stages In the readjustment
of the Eastern Question have been reached
during the present week. The irst is the
permanent occupation of tho Sandjak of
Noyi-Bazar by the Austrians, which, after
three months of indecision and political agi-
tation, is now set for the second week of
September. This advance Of the Austrian
forces was anticipated when the Treaty Of
Berlin was framed. Article XIII relating
to the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
contains these clauses;
Tho Government OF Austro-Hungary not :de-
string 10 charge itself with the administration
of the Sandisk of Noyi-Bszsr, which extends
between Seryis and Montenegro IN a south
eastery direction to beyond Mitrovitzs the Turkish
administration shall continue In force In that district
AT the time, in order to insure the maintenance
CT the new political condition, well the freedom
and security OF the concentrations, Aasro-HuDgary
reserves TO itself right 70 establish gsrrisons and
10 maintain military and commercial routes over the
whole of tina. part OF the ancient vayet OF Bosnia.
This right. expressly reserved In the treaty,
is now to be enforced by Austrian troops.
There are no steps backward. The conquest
of the Bosnian provinces is completed by the
yacillating State which, during the nine Russo
Turkish campaigns of two centuries, has main
tanned uniform policy of mastery inactiv-
ity.
The second incident to which we have re-
ferred is the rectificaton of the Greek from
tier. in the Treaty of Berlin the European
Powers offered "tncir good services to the
Ottoman and Greek Governments in the set
temeDt of what had been left an open ques-
ton in the protocols of San Stefsno. Inas-
much as Europe was content to say, lyon
chad better" and not You must,n the Turk
ish Council OF State determined to do moth
ing whatever. The negotiations which fol-
lowed the meeting of the diplomatists at the
RadziWill Palace were series of evasions
on the part of the Porte. Finally, when nine
months had gone by and nothing had been ac-
complished, the French Government put Great
Britain to the blush by taking up the claims of
Greece and demanding in the name of Europe
the cession of those parts of Thessaly and Epirus
specified in the XlIIth Protocol of the Treaty
of Berlin. France has received the cordial CO.
operation Of Germany and Italy, and the
boundary question will be quickly settled.
The latest dispatches indicate that the Porte
has yielded TO Greece, and that the frontier
outlined q year ago at Berlin will be ac-
cepted, with a single reservation in regard TO
Janina.
Ii thus appears that while Lord Beacons-
field and the Sultan have been playing fast
aud loose, the Continental Powers have been
laboring TO promote the permanent interests
of South Eastern Europe. These are progres-
sive movements. Austria has strengthened
its foothold in the South, where it can exert a
commanding influence over Seryia and Mon
teneero, and fepress the dangerous tendencies
of Turkish rule IN Albania. On the other
hand, the resources of the virile Hellenic
Kingdom are increased, and fertile districts
are released from demoralizing rule. Each
