On the S,h of July the lake in
Kilausa overlooked its banks. On
the 18th the lava fell 270 feet in
twelve hours, causing the banks TO
fall in on all sides, and engulfng
about eight acres Of the floor Of the
crater. The falling of the banks
was going on all day and far into
the night. producing s scene in
describably grand. Three shocks
of earthquake were felt at the Vol
cano House, but not hard enough
to do any damage.
The fall Of the lake was wit
messed by W. y. Armstrong, Mrs.
c. L.Carter, Miss Wing, the Misses
Snow, Mr.. Crockett, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. A. Thurston, Mr.. Martin Lee
and Albert Lazure, the guide. The
scene Of action was one OF great
danger, but so intensely fascinating
that the party remained in the
crater during almost the entire day
and part of them during part OF
the night. Occasional falls Of the
banks are still taking place.
The activity of the lake has in
creased since its fall, and it is
again rising. This is believed to
be the first breakdown" which
has ever taken place in Kilauea
when any one was present.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
Parents and Friends Of St. Louis
College Are Well Entertained.

For two solid hours yesterday
morning the parents and friends
of the scholars attending the St
Louis College were entertained, the
occasion being the eleventh annual
commencement exercises Of the in
stitution. The Hall had been dec
grated and generally re6tted for
the scholastic entertainment, and
now the College can boast of an ex-
hibition hall, second 10 none in the
city. The exercises commenced at
9 80 O'Clock, but long before that
hour people, old and young, came
from all directions, and when the
overture commenced the place was
crowded.
The programme SIS o whole was
most successful, and the manner
in which the boys sang and recited
reflected more than average credit
on Brother Bertram, the Principal,
Brothers Frank and Francis, and
the other hard workers at the Col
lege. As rule most people in an
audience never stop to think of the
hard work and worry attached to
an entertainment of this kind but
the instructors of the College must
have felt well repaid yesterday
for their efforts as each number
on the programme was received
with loud applause.
The college orchestra played sew
eral selections in 8 most pleasing
manner, and discords, so common
with amateur organizations, were
happily not heard yesterday. The
members played the overture, Gre
ception,' in mastery way, and
later they accompanied a chorus to
the great delight of both singers
and audience. OF the young lads
who took part in the exercises,
nothing but words of highest praise
can be said. Everything went of
without q hitch, and the general
verdict seemed to be that yester-
days exercises were the most sue.

A CALL EXTENDED.
The Congregational People Ask Rev
Washburn to Remain.

At meeting of the Congregational
society last evening, unanimous
call was extended to Rev. F. M. Wash
burn to continue with them as pastor
1t will be remembered that at the
time arrangements were made with
Mr.. Washburn last summer to fill the
pulpit. it was only for the balance of
the year. So satisfactory has been his
work in the church, that the call last
evening for him to remain was with
out a dissenting voice.
Rev. Washburn has proven himself
thorough Christian gentleman and
an able preacher, who by his devoted
work has greatly strengthened the
church, and it is to be hoped that he
will accept the call and remain in our
midst.

Alderman Wideii Purchases the In

and Assumes Full Control of the

Alderman Gus Widell has purchased
from Mrs. Fred Widell her interest
in all the tools and machinery belong
ing to the Widell Co.. for which he
paid S., 800, and from her has leased
all the stone quarries owned by her
late husband. Upon the output of the
quarries Mrs. Widell will receive a
royalty which will bring her an annual
income of from So, 800 to $4,000. The
present year has been one of great
business depression, yet the royalty
would have amounted to $1,000 and
Mr.. Widell says that with good bust
ness such as the firm had previous to
the past two years it will amount to
twice that sum. Alderman Widell is
a pusher, and that he will drive the
stone business for all there is in it
goes without saying.
At present Mr.. Widell is building
the foundation for large elevator at
Lacrosse which he began work on last
week and which will require about
sixty carloads of stone. He spent last
week on the grounds and will return
there next week to remain until the
work is completed. He has large

manner of taking is not known. He

returned to his home. His wife

and also hurried home where she found

and DR.. MikkelSon was summoned.
By the time the doctor arrived lock-

dote. This had the desired effect, and
as a result Mr.. Conklin is still num-
bered among the living.

THE COMMITTEE MEETS.
The Gentlemen Appointed by the
Board of Trade to Look After the
Government Building Enlargement
Hold Session.
Plan of Action Decided Upon,
Which is to Secure More Ground
Space.

The committee appointed by the
board of trade to see what can be done
toward charging the government
building, held meeting at the post
office last evening and discussed the
various phases of the situation as re-
CARDS the public building now IN
course of erection in this city.
But one opinion prevails among the
members of the committee, and that
is that the building is not what it
should be and not what it can be
made and still come within the range
of the appropriation. As has already
and repeatedly been noted in these
columns the work room of the office is
too small the postmaster room is
entirely out Of proportion and
the vault is practically worth
less. These and other defects
can be easily remedied if the adj
ministration will consent to the eX-
tension of the east wing of the build

be done with little sacrifice OF time
or money, while the additional room
thus secured will be ample for many
years. 1t is probable this extension
can be made at an additional cost OF
$40, O00or less and it will not only fur,
furnish the necessary additional room
but it will also greatly improve the
general appearance of the building.
The committee requested that Mr.
L. p. Hunt try and lay the matter be-
fore Senator Washburn in person be.
fore he leaves for Washington, and
this will be done Friday morning, as
the senator will take his departure
for the national capital Friday eve
ming. A ground plan of the present
building will be given the sena.
tor, together with the propOs-
ed improvement, and we can
promise our citizens in advance
that Mr.. Washburn will do everything
he can to help US out. He has a
personal pride in seeing to it that we
get the best building possible with
the money appropriated, and if any
one can bring the matter before Sec
rotary Carlisle in a comprehensive,
business-like way, it is he.

THE FREt COAL CLAUSE.

Our shifty contemporary, the Phils-
delphia Times, devotes we'll nigh a col
umn of its scholarly rhetoric to an at
tempted defense of the Wilson bills
soft coal clause which is no defense at
all. Incidentally it accuses THE TRIB-
UNE of having Special tariff con-
cern" whereas it has no other concern
than that common to all discerning
Americans; namely. the desire to see
American industry in all its branches
prosper; in security from hurtful com.
petition with the cheap.labor indus
tries of other lands. THE TRIBUNE
wants tariff on soft COAL to protect
the American bituminous miner and
mine owner as against the Canadian
mine owner and his $8-and S4-a-weell
coolis or half breed workman; but it
does not want this tariff any more earn.
estly than it wants tariff on every
other home industry standing in SINH
lar peril from the unsystematic manip-
ulations of the Democratic tariff tink
ers.
Our Philadelphia contemporary falls
into the same error of logic which we
recently noted in the arguments Of the
Philadelphia Record, and which that
heady journal has not since 80 ught to
defend, In one place it tells us that
Pennsylvania openly calls for re-.
moval of the duty of seventy five cents
per ton that has been placed on soft
coal as the imposition has been the
means Of enough mischief among the
miners. because Of the combina.
tions and syndicates it has fos.
tered into life during the past twenty
years" In the next it tells US that our
Pennsylvania bituminous mine-owners
have nothing to fear from the removal
of the seventy fve-cen per,ton duty,
becaussthey ship practically no soft
coal to New England as it is. How
then, we ask the Times to inform us,
will the freeing of bituminous, as con-
teinplated by Mr.. Wilson, break up the
combinations and syndicates" Of
which our contemporary complains2 1t
