Tho ssErminie" Revival.

The revival of ''Erminie" at the Casino
Theatre, New York, is attended with
wonderful success. The audiences the
past week crowded the house, and to all
appearances the opera catches the popu-
lar fancy with as firm hold as ever Mr..
Aronson feels that no better attraction
could have been selected for the holidays.
Pauline Hall has repeated her success in
the title role; George DENIM has bios
somed out as first-class favorite in the
part of Javotte. Mr.. James Il. Powers as
Caddy and Mr.. Edwin Stevens as RAJ
venues are making great successes in
their parts and are getting dead loads OF
fun out of them for the amusement of the
public. The demand for seats predicts a
big business for the future, and 1t is safe
to conjecture that the opera will add an
other hundred nights to its already phe-
nomenal record of 1900. There will be
three matinees this week--one on Tues
day, for the benefit of the Worlds Fair;
one on Thanksgiving Day and one on
Saturday.

What He Saw and Thought.

Mr.. EDITOR: Remembering an
article in the GAZETTE entitled
Steamer Day in Honolulu" [ went
to see the Australia of. have not
had the opportunity to witness a
steamer sail for the coast in several
years, and / enjoyed the spectacle
with much interest.
The loads of vegetation carried
by many Of the passengers around
their persons was one peculiarly
that first attracted my notice, and it
was certainly unique. One slender
lady carried on her shoulders and
waist about fourteen pounds weight
of plants. and the flowers inter
mixed were doubtless skillfully
placed.
The gangway was quite study,
not so much of itself, but IN the
numbers and variety of persons
who went up and down it like ants
going to and from their hill. Then
when the last whistle blew, and the
march down the gangway became
general. it was quite a study to
watch the different modes Of step
ping adopted by each individual.
While one adopted striding pace,
another would take the shortest pos
s;I,la sfnns and another would skip
lightly aud easily. No two persons
adopted the same kind of step or
the same kind of attitude. One
person was all smiles, and another
was evidently in state Of great
anxiety.
Looking over the rail of the
steamer were a number OF very
pretty female faces, and others that
were not so pretty; but all seemed
to feel that they were the observed
Of all observers, and SO they were.
There were among the passengers
many well known persons; and the
alohas spoken and acted were in
keeping with Hawaiian customs and
tropical instincts.
It is not pleasant to see people in
tears. especially when they have ad-
vanced in years; but it is interest
ing nevertheless.
The Hawaiian band also contrib
uted to the sensational portion. of
the scene. and rendered the cad
ences Of step and motion more uni
form. [ think of getting my son to
write a poem on Marching Down
the Gangway," but whether it will
resemble Marching through Geor-
cia." time will alone determine.

The Kauai Scare.

Nh. EDITOR: In one Of last week S
issues of the Bulletin it is stated that
no vessel left Honolulu on Tuesday;
but in the issue Of the same paper
this afternoon 1 find the following
notice: Exaggerated reports of
Tuesdays trouble reached Kappa
and Kealia. Kauai, from the steamer
Akamai hence that day"
Which Of these reports are readers
of the Bulletin to believe. Had its
reporter enquired "a little more into
the facts he would .have found that
another vessel left Honolulu on the
same day for the same place as the
Akamai. arriving a short time pre-
yious to the latter: but neither Kappa
nor Kealia were touched at by either
vessel.
1 cannot see any likelihood of the
exaggerated reports" mentioned IN
the Bulletin, having been circulated
from the steamer Akamai, nor do /
believe that the Bulletin reporter
can prove his hap-hazzard state
ments. There are several gentle
men in Honolulu who can testify
that Capt. Lawrence and myself
culled such news as was carried by
the Akamai, from the most reliable
sources, and one Of the chief items
was that 1.-The riot would be over be-
fore dark"
1t is always an uphill business to
fight with the publisher OF news
paper; but my explanation may be
accepted by those of your readers
who do not swear by the Bulletin or
the man who does its incorrect re
porting. j. a. DOVER

occasions were gone through. The
exercises unusual consisted of the
delivery Of four original orations, in
English, by the four boys of the
third reader The speeches were on
topics of local interest and were de-
livered with fair articulation and
considerable vim. The orations OF
course had been prepared by the
teacher and put into the boys hands
on the previous Monday The at
tendance at this school has been very
close during the term. The new
building provides very satisfactory
accommodation which is evidently
being duly utilized.
The Konawaena school, Mrs.
Sumter, teacher, closed the term on
the 26th ult. with a creditable re-
view, in which ordinary school work
with recitations, songs and dialogues
filed up several hours to the great
delight of large gathering of the
inhabitants. There too, new build
ing graces the landscape. The ex-
hibition passed off satisfactorily to
all concerned.
Law as well as education, occupies
its place in the social economy.
Three Cinnamon were mulct in $50

Mr.. EDITOR: The commencement
season with all It's festivities is over,
and as usual Yale has taken every
thing that came in its way, even to
a good many drinks in honor Of the
victories. The great feats in ath-
letic sports are coming to be of the
first importance to many minds but
solid work is still the main thing in
all its departments. The solid men
who came here on annual pilgrim
ages to the sacred shrine of their
Alma Mater attest that fact.
The death Of ex Pres. Woolsey
has been noted over all lands and
the tributes to his worth well deserv-
ed and generous. His work, his
life and death were all that one could
ask for fallible humanity and it has
been eloquently and truly said of him
that a good and great man had fal-
len asleep when he passed away so
peacefully. His name and fame as
well as his personal value as teach
er are we'll known to not a few isl
anders who viii remember him With
most sincere, affectionate regard.
Since his retirement from the presi-
dency twenty years ago he has taken
a deep interest in its rapid growth
and development and nearly year
before his death saw it become in
name as well as in fact grand and
fully equipped university" with all
its Academic, Scientific, Law, Medi
cal Art and Theological schools fully
equipped for their work and over
flowing in numbers so that the de
mand for more room has been loud
and continuous. The additional
buildings of these twenty years ex-
coed in value and commodiousness
all that has been provided before,
and yet the friends of the Univer-
sity are only just fairly awake to its
needs and pressing demands.
No one but Harvard man thinks
of denying the claim of Yale to be
the first institution of liberal educa-
ton and the student in any one of
its departments comes under a di-
rect influence to a great extent of all
the others. Yale men are in demand
everywhere, and one of Yale's most
honored and well beloved sons and
Connecticuts best citizens, is Gov.
Henry B. Harrison, who was asked to
take the mission to Hawaii but he
was compelled to decline, which is a
far greater loss to you than to him
Every Yale and Conn. man in Hawaii
will honestly regret that Mr.. Blaine
failed in his attempt to send you

from this country and no one more
sincerely than the writer who made
the plan and hoped to see it mate

The strike at the Allegheny Bessemer
Steel Company's plant, at Duquesne, is still

a prolonged one. The Braddock men who
are employed there say that it would be i'm
possible to continue at the present method of
working during the heated term, even if their
wages were advanced. They claim that they
are compelled to work increasingly for IA hours
sometimes for days work. The stopper car
riers work eight hours day at the Edgar

men are paid by the day and receive 81 SO.

not a man employed under Mr.. Edwards in the

Things appear to be rather blue, but the men
say they will not return to work at the present

Blanchard Says the Commission VIII Meet
in Chicago This Week.
G. R. Blanchard, Chairman Of the Central
Traffic Association, passed through the city
last night on his way to Chicago to attend
q meeting of the association. He will also be
present at the meeting of the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Chicago this week.
In an interview Mr.. Blanchard amplifed the
questions propounded to Chairman Cooley.
which were printed in yesterdays issue of The
DISPATCH. He said the question whether or
not freight from Pittsburg to Burlington. Iowa,
could be carried at the same rates as freight for
points beyond the city, would be settled at this
meeting.
Mr Blanchard said they could do this, al
though Solicitor Brooks, of the Pennsylvania
Company, said they could not. Judge Cooley
would not give decision about the matter
until the meeting in Chicago. The chairman
further stated that this is the very same prin-
ciple involved in Mr.. Carnegie's TRADE against
the Pennsylvania Railroad. It is impossible to
make rates for every point. and there must be
a certain tariff for all points within a radius of
certain limits.
This is the matter mentioned in another col
umn. and involves the principle of pro-rating.
The decision of the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania Company to pro-rate with Western roads
was based on the stand Chairman Blanchard
took on the question.

IN A MANSION FULL OF FLOWERS.
The Daughter of Hon. B. F. Jones Fittingly
Launched for Life.
AN EVENT FOR The RELATIVES ONLY

The marriage OF Miss Alice Jones,
daughter of Hon. B. f. Jones, to Mr.. w.
w. Wilcox, took place last night at the
residence of the brides parents, corner Of Lin
coin and Irwin avenues, Allegheny.
Owing to the death of Mr.. T. M. Jones, the
ceremony was very private, only the nearest
relatives Of the bride and groom being present
The bridal party consisted of Miss Mary
Watson, Miss Maud Byers Miss Harriet Wat
son and Miss Sue NDalzell Mr.. James II.
Wilcox attended his brother as best man.
The ushers were Mr.. Frank P. Sproul, Mr..
]. d. Lyon, Mr.. w. j. Patton and Mr.. Harry
Singer.
The ceremony took place in the parlor at 8
o'clock, the bride being accompanied by six
maids of honor. The floral decorations
throughout the lower part of the house were of
unusual magniicence, and their artistic design
made an exquisite effect.
Upon entering the front hail a beautiful
screen of smilax dotted at different places
with punches of roses, was noticeable. This
screen made division in the Vestibule, behind
which the Toerge Orchestra was placed.
Along the walls at each end of the screen stood
enormous pots filled with tropical plants of
various species. A very large vase of Jacque
and bride roses had also been placed in the
hall.
The parlor where theceremony was solemnized
was perfect revelation of floral decorative
art. The bay window, in front of which the
bride and groom stood, was bower of the
most exquisite floral treasures. There were
two curtains made of smilax and mermet roses.
with hoops of bride roses. The lower part of the
center pane was covered with short curtain
of smIlax and pink roses with centerpiece of
lilac The top border was banked with Baron
ness RothschiId and Marescbai Neil roses.
From the middle of this bank garlands of pink
roses were stretched across to the wall, and
from above light was suspended with pink
shade. The reflection from this light, as it fell
around beauties. made
everything appear in hue of soft exquisite
pink, which rendered the scene wonderfully
effective.
All the other rooms, the library and the
dining room, were correspondingly beautiful.
These decorations were the work of Mr.. Dell,
of John r. & A. Murdoch.

THE RATE FOR MINING

Is Fixed By Miners and Operators Repre-.
sentntives-The h. of L. and n. p. q.
Will Not Accept rhe Terms, However.
The mining rate in Western Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio has been fixed for the year
beginning May 1, but the rivalry between
the two leading organizations of miners
may result in trouble. The National Pro
gressive Union men, the K. of l. and unorgan-
lied miners are blaming each other for bad
management 1t is claimed that a straight "a
cents a ton rate could have been secured if
President Mcbride had not issued his circular
osition. This is contradicted by Mr.. Mcbride,
who admits that he advised the acceptance of
the proposition, but when the members of the
organization voted on the question and decided
TO reject his advice he kept out of the fight.
The conference on the wage question was
held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the
Engineers Society. There were present four
Chic operators and like number OF miners,
and also eight miners and operators from this

j. NJ. Anderson, Upson Andrews and Alex
ander Dempster; miners-J. F. Welsh, w. W.
Miller, John Osbourne and j. B. Rea.
officers were elected. Mr.. Dempster was made
chairman and Mr.. Bentham was chosen as
secretary. The operators presented their
proposition which was published in this paper
the other day, and is as follows: For Pennsyl-
vania from May to November !, 7l% cents
per ton. and from November / to May l. 7615
cents: for Ohio 6Z16 and 6715 cents. Their
proposition cont lined the statement that they
would not deal with any labor organization,
but would sign the scale with the miners of the
two States
The trouble between the n. p. q. and the
4. of L. miners was commented on at length,
and it was decided 20 hear from miners repre-
sentatives. A large number responded, and
several caucuses were held in different parts of
the building. At $50 the delegates were in
structed and went into the conference room
and voted The ballot resulted in the accept

Western Pennsylvania miners cast their ballots
against accepting the terms of the operators.
