The Exploring Party at the VOL
cano House.
FIRE In THE SUMMIT CRATER.
Heavy Rain storm Delays Party One
Day-Mrs. e. x. Graham Third Lady
to Make eAscent-Parties From Kona
and Hiio to Visit the Big Crater.

VOLCANO HOUSE (Kilauea), April
27.-This is bright, clear morning,
with Mauna Loa in full view, but the
mountain party cannot get away until
tomorrow morning. Your correspondent
and party arrived here yesterday after
noon in a driving rain, which shut out
every prospect. At s p. M, however,
the mountain cleared and most beau
tiful display was visible from the porch
of the hotel.
The entire outline of the long slopes
of Mauna Loa was clear from the Ka-
papala hills to the wooded hill, Kulani,
seven miles back of Kilauea, without a
cloud to break the view.
At the very summit area, evidently
coming from the great crater of Moku-
weoweo, was a bright column of light,
such as has often been seen above Kill
auea, but of much greater volume, show
ing state of great activity in the lake.
There must be most wonderful ex-
hibitiOn waiting the arrival of the eX-
ploring party, who are all impatient to
make the ascent.
This mornings observations from the
Lenz station show that the eruption
Is III IHo summit crater anu CndI 1t must
be an extensive one.
The usual volcanic cloud hangs over
the crater, at an elevation of about 25,-
900 feet above sea level, as indicated by
angles of elevation taken soon after sun
rise this morning.
Telephone messages from Kau say
that the display last night was the most
brilliant of any seen since the first ap
pearance of the light, last Tuesday
morning.
The Mauna Lod party starts tomorrow
at an early hour in the morning, to
spend the first night at the upper Ka-
papala camp, thence to the summit for
the second night, and return on Thurs
day or Friday.
1t goes up under the guidance of Ju-
lian Monsarrat, and will include Messrs.
Wakefield and Baldwin of Hilo, Logan,
Hitchcock and the writer from Honolu-
lu, Wilson of Kapapala, Phillips of Buff
falo, N. Y. and Peter Lee of the Vol
cano House.
A party is now being organized to
make the ascent from Kona and an
other from Hilo, to tramp it over the
flow of 1S80-S1. F. S. DODGE.

A letter dated Volcano House, April
2Sth, was received by the Kinau yester-
day, and contains the following infor-
nation regarding Mokuaweoweo and
parties travelling thereto:
This morning at o'clock Julian
Monsarrat, Mrs. Graham, Mr.. Patty of
Kohala, three natives, four pack ami
mails and eight extra riding horses
started from Kapapala Ranch forAina-

previous day.
The first camping will be done to-
night at house MOnsarrat built, on the
slope of Mauna Loa, 5000 feet above sea
level and four hours ride to the sum-
nit. This house, 12X12, is built en-
tirely of shingles, roof as well as sides,
and makes quite unique appearance in
this wild spot. A tent was taken along
by the party, since it is their intention
to spend night on the summit. Re-
turning Thursday, the party will stay
over night at the shingle hut, and on
Friday they will be back.
The very latest news from the crater
was received here by telephone yester-
day. DR.. Friedlander and Mr.. Gaspar
made the ascent of Mauna Loa to the
crater of MokuaWeOWeO from the kona
side and returned on the same side yes

with several beautiful fountains of mol
ten lava playing. Everything seemed to
give promise of an early flow. Full par
ticulars of the trip of the Kona people
can not be obtained just now. Follow
ing is the party that left for Mokuaweo-
weo today: Julian Monsarrat, Mrs. E.

Bill providing for certificate of cleo
tion to the candidate in a district where

with the Attorney General and the con-
clusion arrived at was that the bill was
unconstitutional, because the Constitu-
tion provided that the person receiving
Lut HlSuGSJ Vi VOItb SUOulu Dc
declared elected. We might under this
bill have a member in the Senate or
House who had not received a vote.
Senator Holstein said the idea was a
good one and election under such cir
cumstances was farce.

Brilliant Woman to Lecture orr
Theosophy.
COMPANION TO NINE. BLAyATZkY.
Philosophy, Not a Religion-Will Not
Interfere With Churches-Bears no
Relation to SpirItualism-Buddhi
Has Nothing to do With Theosophy.

The Countess Wachmeister, cele-
brated throughout the world as a the
osophist of the highest rank, arrived
by the Monowai yesterday and is COM
fortably located with the Misses Ladd
on Nuuanu street, and was visited there
yesterday by a reporter for the Adver-
tiser.
The Countess, though born nearly six
ty years ago, looks much younger, not
withstanding she has had stormy voy-
age from Australia and had not yet re-
covered from the effects.
She intends giving three lectures at
Harmony Hall, King street, on the sub
ject of "Theosophy." Asked if theoso-
ply was not part or branch of spirit
ualism, she replied:
1T is not Buddhism, it is not spirit
ualism, and it is not religion, but it is
vast philosophy which comprises all
the religions in the world. We have
neither temples nor churches, yet our
society is made up of every nationality
and every religion, and the members
worship in their own places and in
whatever manner their consciences die
tate"
do you observe the Sabbath in the
same manner as those who profess
Christianity"
Our members keep Sunday exactly
as they deem best for themselves. AS
1 have said, theosophy is not religion,
but a philosophy. Jews worship their
Sabbath, and the Roman Catholics
theirs, widely different in manner, as
you are aware, and yet the members of
those religions meet on one common
ground as theOsophists.
1T is necessary in becoming a the
osophist to be equally tolerant of an
others religion as one would want an
other to be of his. If you should be-
come member of the society you could
cCNtinue praying as the tenets of your
religion should decree; we have no con-
troll over that, and no aims toward
proselyting. L try, as every other MEM
Der of the society does, to broaden the
minds of religious people,
May | ask, Countess, if that is the
object of your visit to Honolulu at this
time?"
"Assuredly soi''
Then you intend residing here in
definitely, 1 presume?"
Unfortunately, my engagements in
other places will not permit of my re-
naming here after the departure of the
Australia, and in the meantime l will
deliver three lectures.
THE first will be on Sunday evening,
ho
Other lectures will be given on Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings"
The Countess is an excellent conver-
sationalist, but declines to speak of
herself as to any occult powers she may
have.
Il never speak of myself" she said.
Madam Blavatsky, with whom 1 lived
for six years, suffered for having talked
of her phenomenal powers, and what
she suffered was a lesson to me-"
Countess Wachmeister will be at
home to callers every afternoon from 2
until during her stay.
