Republicans In Council.

WASHINGTON, April "a. --At yesterdays
session of the league of Republican cubs
one of the most important subjects con-
sdered was the question of what
action the league should take in regard to
the matter of change of representation in
the national convention. The sentiment
expressed was overwhelmingly in favor of
a change. The evening was devoted to a
conference between representatives from
the national COMMITTEES, mem bers of the
congressional committees and delegates
from the league, for the purpose of map
ping out plan OF political work for the
coming campaigns.

ISLANDS OF FIRE.
Wonderful Volcanos Of the Hawaiian
Islands, Fire God, Etc.

Probably nine tenths OF the numerous
tourists TO Hawaii go there for the express
purpose of seeing the famous volcano of
kilauea. To the lBrge class thus repre-
sented. Part Five OF picturesque Hawaii"
will have a special attraction. Indeed,
this number is OF more than usual interest
because OF the present unwonted activity
OF this remarkable volcano, as well as be-
cause Of the very complete and accurate
representation in the illustrations OF
every phase of volcanic action. Here we
are given view into the great pit that is
well termed lake of fire. Another view
brings us to the very brink of the lake
itself, within the towering black walls of
that enormous pit. In another illustra-
tion we have an example Of boiling lava
flowing on the service OF the country, and
falling over precipice into body OF
water. All the strange contortions of
lava flow are shown vividly in these Illus
trations. 1t Is not surprising that the
manifestations Of the hidden forces
OF the interior OF the earth. The serpcn-
tine and twisted arms OF lava shown in
these illustrations are uncanny and sug-
gestive to minds less Ignorant and debased.
The Goddess Pele, who was the deity OF
the volcanic fires, was hideous old hag
who paralyzed those who defied her. Ter
ror-stricken natives fled at the signs of
her approach. Even to the present day
the old superstitions cling, and notable
instances have been given ~ he tenacious
hold they have on the - ity OF royal
personages.
Thus, il was Princess Ruth who sought
TO placate Pele on the occasion OF the
memorable lava flow OF 1850 by holding a
series OF incantations for two weeks on a
neighboring hill, and by offering the
furious and implacable goddess red silk
handkerchiefs and bottles OF brandyl IL
was the present celebrated Liliuokalani
who, 1891, on the occasion OF visit TO
kilauea, sacrificed TO the same goddess, and
sought her favor by casting a small white
pig, alive, on the surface OF Halemanman
where, I'm spite OF its outcry and futile
efforts, II quickly roasted TO the satisfac-
tion of the royal devotee.
The singular thing about Kilauea Is the
accessibility IL offers to the observation in
comparative safety Of some OF The strangest
phenomena i'm nature. One can stand at
the very edge OF the boiling lake, where
fountains of fire are dancing all over
the constantly changing surface. Small
cones rumble and tremble with ominous
suggestiveness rs one investigates the
floor OF the immense pit. To us IL seems
almost foolhardy for sane people 10 APP
proach 80 near TO such merciless
and terrible forces. We are as
sured i'm the description of such ex-
pcrienccs that the real danger IL slight,
because OF the ample warnings that are
given from below when an outbreak or a

that OF all the thousands OF people who
have visited this marvel of nature, none
have been overtaken with serious mishap.
Inasmuch as these people have defed the
superstitious precautions OF Hawaiians by
negecting to cast into the fiery lake the
talismanic oheio Perrles, IL would appear
that this remarkable immunity from dan
ger would be destructive OF faith in the
old traditions.
We have i'm the text n fascinating de-
scription OF a unique event, being moth
ing more nor less than the absolute drop
ping out of the bottom and the total dis
appearance OF the lava in Halemanman,
the most active lake in Kilauea. This oc-
Cured i'm 1856. lt was not many months
and the activity has steadily increased,
until now Il 10 greater than at any time in
the past 25 years.
Much OF the narrative in this number is
written jim the racy. graphic style OF one
who II personally competent to guide. We
almost see with our own eyes rs he hur-
ries us from one wonder to another, act
ually making us participants in his own
experience in the wierd and awful pit, and
beside those lava flows from the terrible
Mokuaweoweo at the summit of the lofty
Mauna I.oa. We are brought face to face
with the actual operation OF world build
ing. Elsewhere this cannot be seen wit N
such particularity. Here we have the
raising OF the land, both by the
depression OF the surrounding seabed
and by the out-pouring OF iava over
enormous areas and AZ great depths.
Here is the rapid encroachment OF vcgeta-
tion and the wrapping OF black, disin-
tegrating scorim with q garment OF green.
We cnn see the ocean ont OF which these
islands have risen, the LIQUID lava that
has built them up, the abundant rains
that have eroded and disintegrated the
congealed lava, and the triumphant
march OF the forest following the skirmish n
line of ferns I'm subduing the land TO the
uses and abode OF man. II is out Of chaos

BAY STATE LEGISLATURE.
The Trout Bill vstosd-Municipal Gas
aud Electric Lighting.

BosToN, April 24.-There was nothing
going on at the state house i'm the morn
ing, the legislature not coming in until
o'clock, but there was considerable com
motion in and about the executive cham
ber, it having been ascertained that
veto OF the trust bill might be expected
from the governor.
Governor Greenhalge vetoed the bill
allowing the sale of "artificially reared"
trout during the months OF February and
March, giving as his reason that the bill
did not clearly define what was meant by
''artifcially reared trout" AS it would be
difficult to distinguish between wild and
reared trout.
The committee on manufactures re-
ported to the house what they learned on
their recent trip. The committee visited
Philadelphia and Richmond. The report
says:
"The officials in those cities expressed
themselves strongly in favor of munich
pal ownership of gas and electric light
systems, yet it Is a fact that In neither OF
the cities named, notwithstanding long
and continued ownership of gas works,
has there been any move looking to the
establishment of municipal electric

by the chief executives of Pennsylvania
and Virginia. In each city there is OPP
position to the doctrine Of municipal
ownership of either gas or electric
systems
1.-THE situation as observed In Richmond
was to some extent more favor able to the
theory Of municipal ownership, inasmuch
as by what appears to be proper method
of bookkeeping a balance of profit is
shown here as well as in Philadelphia.
Upon inquiry 1t was learned that neither
In the charters of the electric lighting
companies nor in the contracts for mu-
nicipal lighting were there any provisions
In reference to a possible desire on the
part OF the cities to purchase the fran
chises and property of the company at
any time, or any special law regarding
the same.
"In but few municipalities was the idea
advanced that municipalities should be
given the right to engage in the business
of commercial or municipal lighting
without regard to existing corporations
engaged in the work"
The house ordered to third reading
the bill to prevent foreign corporations
from issuing stock or other securities
upon the property franchise or stock of
domestic corporation under their control
