THE VOLCANO ACTIVE.

One of the most important announce
ments that has been made for some time
past appears in another part OF tO-day's
issue. We refer to the very interesting
description of the active condition of
Halemaumau, from the pen OF our
special correspondent, Mr.. F. l.. Clarke.
Indeed, the probabilities are that in
short time the area of activity will have
increased beyond anything that has been
witnessed there for many years past.
The mysterious and sudden disappear
ance OF the liquid lava from the New
Lake and Halemaumau a few months
ago, and its slow but equally mysterious
appearance through new vents in the old
floor, should interest scientific observers
very greatly, and must add new and
fascinating attractions to the great Vol
cano of Kilauea.
As a matter of fact, tourist travel to
these Islands was in a measure inter
rupted ON account OF the disappearance
of the lava lakes and we may naturally
look forward to a revival OF it when the
mer tourists from the States would come
here in large numbers were the attrac-
tons OF these Islands brought before
them in a systematic way, and chief
among the grand natural phenomena in
which they abound is the world famous
Volcano of Kilauea. The report which
Mr.. Clarke makes in our paper to-day,
from personal observation, will doubt
less 90 far towards turning the tide OF
tourist travel hitherward. We are aware
that the Oceanic Steamship Company
has done a great deal to spread informa-
ton about these Islands, and also that
Consul General Mckinley has accom-
plished much in the same direction.
The news we publish to-day will GER
tainly aid them in their good work.

WAILUKU PRISON.

A sensational article appeared IN yes
terday's Gazette - descriptive OF Wal
luku prison, over the signature OF MIR.
James w. Girvin If there could be
no explanation mitigating the details,
we would say that the matter should be
promptly investigated, and censure of a
pungent character administered where
the blame was found to rest. We have
made inquiries on the subject, and find
that although the condition OF the prison
in question is far from being what it
should be, it is not in the shocking condi-
ton which Mr. Girvin would lead the
public TO believe.
We have been informed that Mr.. Cir
vim is in error as to the dimensions of
the cells and the number OF prisoners.
The first error is not very considerable,
the roof being six inches higher than
stated by him; and Sheriff Everett re-
ports that instead of four to six prisoners
being confined in each cell or room, the
average is three. The greatest number
of prisoners at any one time has been

ABOUT INSURANCE RATES.

The weekly Opposition paper says
that the ADVERTISER urged the raising
of insurance rates" the other day, when
commenting upon underwriting. Our
contemporary must have read our article .
hastily and jumped at conclusions. We /
did not urge anything OF the kind. We |
simply stated that rates would increase !
in consequence of the late fire, and as
matter of fact We knew when We pub
lished the article in question that an agree
ment to that effect had been come to by
the insurance agents. Mr.. w. 2.
Thomas, an experienced Underwater
from the Coast, was sent down by insur-
ance companies doing business here to
represent them in adjusting claims aris-
ing from the fire, and in concert with
local agents to rate the city. This has
been done, the result being a very con-
siderable increase in the rates.
Now, it does not affect the point in the
least whether the Legislature should i'm
pose tax OF 10 per cent upon premiums
or not, 50 far as the rating for insurance
purposes is concerned. The Underwrit-
ers have adopted the policy of the rail
road corporations and agreed to charge
all the business will bear. 1t is true that
! the late fire cut into the aggregate profits
| of the companies, but on the whole fire
risks in Honolulu were above the aver
| age of risks in the Coast towns and cities
outside San Francisco. Although the
rates here were lower as a rule than on
the Coast, insurance companies made
more money relatively in this city
than on outside risks in the
wooden towns of California and
Oregon. Having sustained heavy
loss, however, and being resolved to re-
coup themselves in degree, higher rates
are to be charged, and we contend that
the taxation OF premiums, which go to
swell the profits Of foreign corporations,
is fair and legitimate source of income
for the Government. 1t is some trifing
offset to the large annual subsidy indi-
rectly paid insurance companies by the
country, in the shape of an apprOpria-
ton for the Fire Department, whose pri-
mary duty appears to be to save prop
erty which is covered by insurance.
Our Opposition contemporary, which
appeared yesterday as a clearly and
respectable print for the first time, To-!
these many years, will upon reflection
recognize the difference between stating
fact and urging that something should
be done. What we urged was that an
Underwriters Association should be or
ganized, and we argued that an increase
of rates having already been agreed
upon, this fact did not apply to the
formation of such body. We say so
still, and we regret that one influential
agency still holds aloof, and prevents
the formation of an organization which
would benefit all by securing perfect
uniformity of rating under its rules.

HiIO Boarding school.

Fifty years ago the Hilo Boarding
school, founded by the Rev. Elias Bond,
received its first scholars. During this
week jubilee programme is being given,
which closes tomorrow with an exhi-
bition at the Halle Church. A very in
teresting pamphlet, Jubilee Notes, "
has been issued, which is full OF interest
ing articles on this excellent school, and
from which we clip the following: Dur
ing the fifty years since its organization
the receipts of the school towards its
support have amounted to $87, 13l 80,
and the expenditures have been $780,
768 81, leaving thus permanent fund,

thirty; at the period OF Mr.. Girvin's
visit there were twenty-one convicts and
one prisoner held for trial. 1t will be
seen therefore that Mr.. Giryin's calcu-
lation, on the basis OF five men to each
cell, is not correct. The exaggeration
perhaps was not intentional, but mas
much as his statement reflects primarily
upon the Sheriff, whom he exOnerates
from blame, and upon the Marshal's
department indirectly, be should have
been more precise in the recital OF facts.
But it is by no means uncommon for
men otherwise exact to be led astray
when any incident appeals to their sym
pathy. In such cases sentiment over
tops reason, and the truth is apt to be
sacrificed.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Girvin has done a
public service by bringing this question
prominently forward. The fact is plain
enough that the condition OF Wailuku
prison needs looking into. 1t is too
/ small for the requirements, and it is
/ likewise old and badly constructed.
| There is a large and well-appointed
prison at Lahaina, which is not fully oc-
cupied at any time, and it might be d
matter of deliberation whether all pris-
oners should not be transferred from
Wailuku to Lahaina in excess of proper
accommodation in the former. Long
term convicta, that is men serving three
months and upward, are usually sent tC
the Oahu prison from all points. The
consequence is that it has become in
conveniently overcrowded. The entire
question of prisons and prison discipline
must soon come up for consideration
by the proper authorities, meantime thu
case of the Wailuku prison stands b.
itself and should be looked into.
