Pittston caught fire at midnight and in q
few minutes Engineer Lloyd realized that
the machinery would be useless. This
meant that the fans supplying the air cur
rent in the mines would stop and the forty

the signal to hoist. The flames were now all
around him and he ccutd not see. At last
the signal was received and he pulled the
lever. At the top there WAS another sig
nal to descend" The men were not all
up. With the flames biting into his flesh,
Lloyd sent the carriage down again. Once
more he hoisted, ard once again came the
signal to descend. He lowered the cage,
and for the third time no hoisted This
time the bell said ''all right" Then Lloyd
rushed outside and tainted. The physi-

way crew of the United STATES corvette

at o'clock yesterday Saturday morning
After taking on board the castaways she
was expected to go to Old Providence
Island, seventy-five miles southwest of
Roncador, to pick up Lieut.. Brainard's
boats crew.
If the Para arrived at Old Providence
after nightfall she could not have landed
until the next morning. In the opinion of
Consul General Vifquain and Col. RiveS the
Para will arrive at Colon tomorrow.
Arrangements were made today TO send
another steamer to Rencador in case the
City of Para be not sighted within a rea-
sonable time.
1t is realized that the City of Para may
have found the sea so rough ut Roncador
that she could not send her boats ashore to
bring on board the castaways, of whom
there are 175. In that event the Para NAV

Received n Warning.

Major Throckmorton's communication to
the department was informal and therefore
does not call for official action. 1t is under
stood, however, that he has been informed
in private capacity that the department
is not likely to overlook his conduct in case
he violates any of the laws Or regulations
of the army. The only way that Major
Throckmorton can accept the New York
office and remain in the army without run
ming counter to some legal impeachment will
be for him to go on the retired list. He is
eligible for retirement under the thirty
years service law, and then only on his
own application. Compulsory retirement
applies only in case the Officer is physically
incapa citated or has reached the age Of
siXty-four years.

THE HELLO" COMBINATION.
Preparations to Place All Under
Mutual Rule.

After January 1st, the only tele-
phone central office in town will be
at the corner of Merchant and Ala
kea streets. The Bell will be moved
to the MutuaPs headquarters.
Preparations for the change are
now being made by Manager Aungst
of the Mutual and Manager Cassi-
dy of the Bell.
After the consolidation many Of
the poles and wires now used by
the Bell will disappear from the
streets. This will be particularly
noticeable on King and Beretania
streets. The Mutual will extend
its cables. These contain about
one hundred wires each. With the
change will come an enlargement
of the Mutual's offices. The work
has progressed so far that il can be
completed in a very short time. A
number of improvements will be
made in the new plant. Honolulu
will still hold its reputation of hav-
ing the best telephone system in
the world.
There is considerable speculation
as to who will be manager Of the
enlarged Mutual. Both Messrs.
Cassidy and Aungst are mentioned.

As Result of the Agitation Aired in
This Paper, the Visiting Wheelmen
VIII be Seen in a Race on the gath.

At a meeting of the Honolulu
Cycle Race Meet Association held
last evening, it was decided to
change some of the events. The
mile was changed from a scratch
race to a handicap, and the quar-
ter-mile was changed from a handi-
cap to a scratch.
It was decided to get up a ten
mile road race to take place on
Saturday, November Oath. The
course has not yet been decided
upon, but it will probably be twice
or three times around a selected
route.
A committee of three was ap-
pointed to solicit donations from
all interested in cycling, to be
used for the purchase of prizes for
the road race. It will be handi-
cap affair and the entries will close
on November 22d at 5 p. M. En-
tries will be free, and they are to
be made on blanks furnished for
that purpose, to be had on applica-
ton to the Cyclery, 107 King street.
The entries for the track race
will close on Monday, November
26th, at 5p. m., at the Cyclery. A
list of prizes and entrance fees for
the track race will be published
later.
The road race committee is COM
posed of Charles Crane, James
Spencer and Henry Giles. Griffiths
and Terrill will doubtless start in
this event.

The Bankers Monthly says that the
celebrated Barring estate is approach
ing final liquidation. Atone time the
liabilities were largely over 800, ,OOO,-
600; now they are but $12, 800, 900. With
the improvement in all assets the
world over, the Bank of England will
not need long time to close out the
collateral they hold. A large surplus
is expected. In history this will
stand as the greatest financial exploit
ever accomplished in business.
