THE, International Floral Exposition to
be given in Pittsburg in November deserves
the encouragement of every lover of the
beautiful in the city. The proposed exhi-
bition will not only please the eye, but it
will give an,opportunity to study the pecu-
liarities of scores of varieties of plants
which are very seldom brought to Pitts
burg. While the local florists will take the
lead in the exhibits, foreign exhibitors will
have a chance to show what they can do in
the line of decorations, etc. The arrange
ments are on q most elaborate scale and the
exposition promises very successful at least
from an artistic point of view.

Duquesne Fares Drop,

Riding out on Duquesne car No. Isl on
Monday, 1 was astounded to see the fare
register suddenly jump from its place and
crash to the floor, narrowly missing the
heads of some people beneath. AS the city
authorities have succeeded in preventing
collisions at crossings, they will now have to
turn their attention to registers and devise
some plan to compel them to give reasOna-
BILE notice when they intend to descend
from their exalted position. Maybe it was
only a token of the other drop in fares' ru-
mored concerning the Duquesne. .,-.-s q .-

THE breaking of the trotting record con-

THE breaking of the trotting record con-
tinues to be interesting speculation. The
magnificent mile of Maud in 20sA has re-
mained unrivaled for several years, and it
has seemed questionable whether any horse
exists able to beat it. Sunofs three-year-
old performance in 2:101a has raised high
hopes when she comes to her prime; and
the fact that she is to be driven in California
next.week to beat that record may evoke
expectations that she will not only lower
her own time, but make a record which shall
establish her rivalry to Maud s. Lovers of
fast trotters will be glad to hear OF new
queen of'the turf, as there is the capacity
for one inithe California filly.

esteemed Ledger is wrong. 1t is all very we'll
to make these restrictions when they are not

THE story published in New York that
agents of the Chilean Government are en-
listing seamen on the Maine coast to serve
in the Chilean navy sounds f1shy. Since the
supply of American seamen is insufficient
for our own navy, we may be permitted to
doubt that any considerable number can be
found to go to Chile for the sake Of being
blown up by torpedoes.

which, by means of q cord, is connected with

In the California mountains there
arc miles of them. There is q

quantities of alum and salt, and

Paradise of the Pacific.

This monthly paper was issued Sat
urday for the outgoing mail. It has
a good likeness of b. f. Dillingham;,
Esq, manager of the Oahu Railway
Co.; also map of Honolulu, which
appears to have been engraved ex-
pressly for this publication. An ex-
animation of it shows the map to be
very defective and altogether out of
date. It fails to show several of the
new streets in the city; for instance:
Kekaulike and Pauahi Tor New
streets, in the burnt district; Thur
ston avenue, on Punchbowl, and the
road up Punchbowl, all of which
have been in use for years. Among
the public buildings not noted are
the Public Library, the Y. M. G. A.,
st. Andrews Cathedral, the Anglican
Chinese Church, the new Union
Church, the Survey Building on the
Government premises, the new Mar
ket Building and the Railway Depot
and Warehouse. Indeed the map
does not locate the Oahu Railway at
all, which has been running for two
years, and it tells us the Kerosene
Warehouse is where it was burnt.
It is astonishing that a new map,
got up to represent abroad what
Honolulu now is, has nothing of
these great improvements. IL this
publication were a private affair no
one could say word, but it is
published with a liberal subsidy
from the Legislature, and therefore
ought to be correct. Gentlemen,
don't send abroad any more of these
antediluvian relics and say that they
represent the capital of Hawaii!

Amateur PHOTOGRAPHY.

The Honolulu Camera Club gave
an exhibition and reception to a
few friends at the. clubs rooms on
Saturday evening.
DR.. @. B. Wood and Mr.. G.. Hede-
man operated the lantern. About
forty six slides were exhibited of Ha-
waiian scenery, made by Mr.. Hede-
man from negatives of members of
the club and the photographer, J. j.
Williams.
After these were shown collation.
of ice cream, etc., was served, when
more views were cast upon the cur,
tain. These views were of some of
the slides received from the East,
mostly of California scenery. Mr..
@. W. Ashford made few opening
remarks. as we'll as explained the
different scenes.
The guests of the evening num-
bered nearly seventy-five, and were
received by Messrs. Colville, Lack
land and Stackable, who had charge
of the preparations and reception.

At the Union Iron Works

Rather large number Of sugar
men, government officials and bust
ness men in general were present
Saturday afternoon at the trial of
the cane slicer at the Union Iron
Works.
The slicer is one of the two made
for the Eva Plantation that was
written of in the ADVERTISER some
time ago. A quantity of cane had
been sent in from the plantation to
be used in testing the cutter. A
temporary platform for the visitors
had been arranged. Although not
run at the full numb Der of revolu-
tions, the cylinder made little noise,
and the jar or shaking of the ma
chinery was almost imperceptible
even when not fastened as securely
as it will be at the mill.
Robt. More, superintendent at the
Iron Works, looked after things,
assisted by Mr.. L. Hughes, draughts-
man. Mr.. J. n. S. Williams, man
ager of the company, explained to
the curious the working and capa-
city of the slicer.
The cane was sliced diagonally,
into thin ribbon-like slices averaging
from two to four inches in length.
The knives used in the cylinder
were put in only temporarily, the
ones to be used at the mill are to be
imported from Buffalo, n. Y.
The working Of the slicer seemed
to be satisfactory to all concerned.

AN earthquake occurred on
Saturday evening at 11;27 o'clock.
A heavy rumble was distinctly
heard preceding the shock, which
was so distinct that persons were

ports came to this Office from differ

as to time, etc. The exact time
was noted by Prof. A. B. Lyons, of
Punahou. The shock was not so
severe as to do any damage, so far
as we can learn. When earth
quakes are so strong as to be felt in
Honolulu, it is generally Fremont

EARTHQUAKES IN SONORA.

A dispatch from Yuma, Arizona
Territory, reports that three men
arrived, on the night Of August 8,
from the mouth of the Colorado,
where they had been hunting for
several months. Nothing had been
heard of them since their departure
and great anxiety was felt concern
ing them.
They state that they were COM
ing up the river when their boat
was struck by the tidal wave, which
they estimate at forty feet high.
"The Gulf at Guaymas," says Mr..
Nangle, general passenger agent at
Guaymas, who arrived at Yuma
the same evening, "Is about ninety
miles wide, and at the head of the
Gulf, where the Colorado flows in,
the tidal waves often reach height
of forty feet. If the wind is very
strong they reach much higher,
and therefore tide of one hundred
feet, as reported, is not improbable.
Large vessels often come in at high
tide at the mouth of the Colorado
and are left high and dry q few
hours later.
The little settlement of Lerdo APP
pears to have been the center of
of the recent earthquake. Lerdo
consists of seven buildings, includ-
ing the church. The buildings are
all Of framework, the poles being
close together and all driven into
the earth; this is then plastered
with mud and covered with q fiat
roof of earth. Earthquakes Of not
more than ordinary force damage
such buildings but slightly. The
earthquake of July 80, however,
was so severe that the houses of
Lerdo were all thrown down.
On the 9th the river at Yuma
stood at 10 feet 6 inches, having
been falling slightly several days.
The lake at Salten has been rising
again, owing probably to the cooler
weather and consequent reduction
of evaporation. The Colorado is
running into the desert several
miles to the south of the point at
which it formerly ran in, and fully
three-fourths of the river is running
into the desert, and the rest flows
in it's old channel.
Indians come in with their stories
and declare that they are thrown
fat on the earth and threatened
with burial in creyices while sand
and gravel rained down on them.
VOLCANOES and geysers were started
into unusual activity, throwing
mud and water to great distances.
An old resident of Yuma says
Lerdo is about thirty-fve miles
from the head of the gulf, and the
tide reaches clear up there. Lately
the tides have been fearful. He
thinks that there is no doubt that
there were some great chasms and
