cent trip to the Hawaiian islands,
speaking today of affairs in the Hawai-
ian islands, said:
Everything was quiet at Honolulu

tablished and thoroughly competent to
take care of itself If there is no interfer.
ence from the outside.
Pearl River harbor, where it is pro-
posed to establish United States coal
ing station, is beauty. 1t ia one of
the finest harbors in the world, and ia
large enough to accommodate all the

WASHINGTON, Sep. 3.-A split in the
Knights of Pythiss is said by members
of tho supreme lodges to be possible
and perhaps the probable outcome OF the
meeting now in progress here. Already
the committee designated to consider
the question OF membership of liquor
dealers has decided to report against the
future admission OF this class, and it ia
now understood that the committee in
charge of the matter known as the Ger
man question, that is the question OF
permitting lodges to perform the ritual
in that language, decided to make an
iron clad report for the use Of the
English language only.
II is said by Supreme Chancellor Black
well to be the Intention OF Pythians to
make their order a patriotic one and to
bend all its influences to the support OF
the institutions OF our government. The
constitutions OF the English lodges say
that the perpetustion of foreign language
in the United States will not tend TO the
support OF the institutions OF this gov
ernment, and think that foreign mem

CALIFoRNIA WEATHER.
An Excess of Heat in the North and Iu-

An Excess of Heat in the North and Iu-
terior Valleys.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3.-Director Bar
wick of the California weather service,
in his crop report for the week ending
September 8, summarizes as follows:
The average weekly temperature was !:
San Francisco, 50; Eureka, So; Red
Bluff, so; Sacramento, 10; Fresno, 80;
Los Angeles, 70; San Diego, 68. As
compared with the normal temperature
there was an excess OF heat along the
coast from Eureka north, and in the in.
terror valleys, while eouth from San
Francisco there is a heat deficiency.
The heat deficiency at San Diego was
degree, Los Angeles being normal, while
Sen Francisco shows a deficiency of
degree. Eureka shows an excess OF heat
over normal OF 8 degrees, Red Bluff 5,
Sacramento 8 and Fresno /.
This excess of heat in the interior
valleys has rapidly ripened all summer
crops and been very beneficial for dry
ing fruits. The hop crop is being picked
as rapidly as possible, rs 1T has ripened
almost faster than the growers can at.
tend it and have it done in proper
manner.
Some farmers are already preparing
for their summer fallow plowing for
grain the coming winter.
Sugar beets are being gathered in San
Bsrnardino. Monterey and Alameda
counties, and show everywhere good
percentage OF saccharine matter.
The highest tempersture was 10S at
Santa Clara, Santa Clara county. and
the lowest 40 at Yreka. Siskiyou county.

ST.. PAUL. Sept. Slater details sim.
ply confirm the reporta received yester-
day as to the magnitude of the Hinckley
disaster. The most conservative esti-
mates of deaths in the six towns of Pine
county is 1862, and from that the figures
20 up to 1000. Although the exact
number OF dead will never be known,
enough lie known to make this one OF the
most appalling disasters in American
history. More people have perished,
but never so many in SO tsrribls .
manner.
+. As to the property loss. oil thoughts
have been of death and few can be made
TO talk about their business lossee. It
is probable the loss ct and around
Hinckley will exceed $4,000, ,000~ al
though no careful estimates have yes,
been made, nor can they be made when
all papers and records have gone up in
flames.
Rains today cleared the air some
what from smoke, but were not heavy
enough to entirely quench the fires,
which would break out on the slightest
provocation if they had aught to feed
on.
OF the fires across in Wisconsin less
is known here up to midnight, but there
has been no loss of life reported, and it
is hoped that the worst is over.
Notwithstanding today's shower the
ground is dry and psrched, and all vege-
tation is 80 dry it would ingnite easily
and burn with horrible rapidity.
Governor Nelson tonight issued the
following proclamation:
To the People of Minnesota:
Information of an official character
has reached me that the villages OF
Hinckley, Sandstone, Mission Greek and
the neighboring towns and farms have
been destroyed by forest frsst; that
hundreds of lives have been sacrificed,
and suffering and destitution are ON
every hand, that the survivors of this
terrible devastation are in need of food,
clothing, shelter and everything that
makes existence possible. This appall-
ing disaster appeals to every heart OF
generous impulses, and the case is one
that demands the immediate attention
of every good citizen of this state.
Now, therefore, l, Knute Nelson, gov
ernor of the state. in view of this awful
calamity which has befsllen our coun-
try, and by virtue of the authority in
me vested, do hereby appeal to all lib
ersl and public-spirited citizens, to all
municipalities and to all religious and
benevolent institutions OF this city, to
take immediate action to ward securing
contributions toward aleviating the
prevailing distress. I hereby appoint
the following state commission, author
lied to receive contributions OF money
and supplies and to expend and dis
burse the same:
@. A. Pillsbury, Minneapolis; Ken
meth Clark, st. Paul; Matthew G. Nor

fused. but in Pulaski county the Repub-
