WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Our evening contemporary knows all
about it. 1t is recognized organ of the
Opposition, and also appears to. be in the
secrets of the Government, as it speaks
oracularly of what will, and will not be
done, in the coming legislative session.
1t is an enviable position to occupy, to
know the minds of the outs and the ms.
But our contemporary may happen to
be ill-informed after all. 1t is just posi-
bic that its sources of information may
not be reliable, in which case what be-
comes of its prophetic utterances?
The National party will certainly do
nothing to weaken the nation, nor will it
advocate a retrograde policy. OF course
there is certain to be difference of opin-
ion. as to what constitutes progressive
or retrogressive policy. We do not
think our contemporary would agree
with us upon such an issue, and there
fore we can hardly suppose that the OPP
position as party will be satisfied with
the policy of the Government Indeed,
if it had been satisfied in the past it
wouIu HUT De IN opposition.
When the Legislature assemblies the
country will be able to comprehend what
bills are to be brought before it embody-
ing the Government policy; and we pre-
sumo also that as the session progresses
the capacity and purpose of private mem
bers in the way of drafting bills will
likewise be developed. But it is little
premature to outline the work of the ses-
sion at this early period. Our contem-
porary will certainly be disappointed in
its anticipations upon several points of
policy. We do not see any necessity for
q protracted session, and certainly none
for sensational legislation as our con-
temporary anticipates.

point, and the changes have been very
great in historic times. Halemaumau
seems to be what remains of the great
central lake of Kilauea, as seen by Ellis
in 1928. As We pass from the New Lake
TO Halemaumau we have abundant evil
dence, Captain Dutton says, that We are
treading upon the thin crust of a slumber-
ing volcano. Numerous cracks on either
hand emit steam and sulphurous xaoors
A stick plunged into one of these crarzis@s1
soon charred. Signs of instability, such
as shattering and heaving movements,
are seen all around, and the thoughts OF
catastrophe are ever before the mind.
1t is this ''uncanny" piece of volcanic
flooring that has now given way, con-
Meeting New Lake and Halemaumau in
one great gulf. According to Captain
buttons calculations in 1881, the level of
the liquid lava in Halemaumau and New
Lake was about 435 feet higher than the
liquid lava columns as observed forty
years before, and as the crater has been
steadily filling up since then, the super
incumbent mass became too heavy, and
the floor gave way as Dr. Taylor antici-
pated last October would probably soon
happen. The energy of the volcano is
never constant. 1t increases ard dimin-
ishes from week to week and month to
month, and it is common saying that
Kilauea is never twice alike.

ISLAND NOTES.
LAHAINA, Maui, March 18th

14AHAIEA, Maui, March 18TH.
The mill here is busy all the time,
turning out first-class sugar and lots OF
it. The cane, however, is not as large
as usual, and therefore does not yield as
much as in former years. The new Japs
seem to do very we'll They patronize
the stores very we'll, and spend all they
earn, being in this regard very different
to the Chinese, who dread the japanese
coming here very much, as it has
already brought down the price of Chi
nese labor considerably.
The Olowalu plantation is doing ex-
trernely well this year. They expect to
get over thousand tons of sugar. This
is doing very well from place that has
ruined two or three men, and was
thought would ruin some more. 1t was
never expected that more than 500 tons
per anuum could be got out of Olowalu,
but Mr.. Vida gets a thousand tons a
year out of it, and demonstrates that ii
is one of the best paying properties in
the Islands.
There is very little other news in this
section. A prominent official of the
Pioneer mill was arrested the other day
for hQrseWhipping six.year-old native
child, and forfeited his bail of SIS rather

Reward of Merit.

An interesting event took place yes
terday at the Police yard, in the rear of
the Station House. The entire police
force were drawn up in presence of Mar
shall Soper and Deputy Marshal Dayton
DR. Webb and Mr.. w. R. Castle being
also present-to witness the presentation
of handsome gold watch and case to
Sergeant James Kauhane, by citizens of
Honolulu, for his courage and devotion
to duty on a recent occasion. Mr.. Vim.
Castle, on behalf of the subscribers,
made the presentation. Sergeant Kau-
hane, on receiving the watch, said that
he accepted it as compliment to the
entire force, for there was not a man on
it, he felt convinced, but would act as he
had done in similar circumstances. It
was gratifying to find citizens of Homo
'silaEu aRRreciating the conduct of a police
bis duty. The watch,

heavy earthquake which destfUy e rug
injured houses and stone walls in Kau,
the fires of this crater were again ex-
tinguished, and remained so some ten
days. On this occasion he visited the
crater, and found no fire in it. Old
"Halemaumau" consisted of a deep pit,
nearly circular in form, five hundred
feet across the top, and some six hundred
or perhaps eight hundred feet deep, but
without particle of fire or smoke. Its
sides were perpendicular and so steep
that il would have been impossible to
descend into it, while the bottom con-
sisted of large blocks of black lava. The
pit looked very much like huge apothe-
cary's mortar. The cliffs, which sur
rounded the lake previous to the heavy
earthquake, had all tumbled in. The ex-
tinction of the fires of Kilauea are looked
upon by the old settlers as precursor of
a large eruption on Mauna Loa. 1t will
be observed that the present is the third
or fourth time that the fires OF Kilauea
have been extinguished during the past
eighteen years, and it is likely to be fol-
lowed by renewed activity of the vol
cano.

WHAT CAPTAIN CLARENCE EDWARD DUTTON
SAYS
In his valuable report on Hawaiian
Volcanoes to the U. S. Geological Survey
Department, Captain c. E. Dutton, Of
the United States Army, gives an inter
esting description OF the caldera of Kila-
uea The lava pool called New Lake was
formed in 1882, and became enlarged by
the gradual clearing off and engulfment
of successive slices of its encircling wall.
Lava lakes do not, as a rule maintain
any constant position. Five or six lakes
were known in the floor of Kilauea in
1853. In 1878 a large open lake existed
near the north end Of the pit, but its To-
cation is no longer discerl3ible. There
was also a large southern lake. In
truth the floor of the caldera is liable to
open and become a lava pool at any
