Just at present We are very near the
great metsoric orbit and.soon there will
sppsar in the heavens vast number Of
comets or shooting stars. Astronomers
all over the world have made elaborate
preparations to witness the display which
will be at Its height about the middle
of the present month. On its present
journey the earth will only meet the au-
vance guard of the stream of meteors that
IN its revelation about the sun pours
itself across the NovemD Der section of our
orbit. but as the stream of msteors is
about eight years long-that is, Gig ut

A few days ago the Gossiper told of use
OF compressed air for the cleaning OF
railway coaches by somelof the big rail-
way companies centering at Chicago.

the Pittsburg and Lake Erie road. The

MORE OKOLEHAO.
Native MOOnshiner Captured in
PalOlo Valley Tuesday Night.

PaIOlo Valley Tuesday Night.
At midnight Tuesday, Marshal
Brown, Detective KAPPA and two Off
GERS might have been seen creeping
along in Palolo Valley under a very
threatening sky.
They were after Pipilani, native,
who has for some time past been in
the business of distlling okolehao.
Shortly after the time mentioned,
the Marshal and officers entered Pr
plants house just as the rain came
down in torrents. The whole family
was asleep, but Pipilani was the only
one wanted, and the remaining ones
were allowed to slumber on.
On the premises were found a gallon
demijohn of okolehao, and a whole
distilling outfit The fire which had
evidently been used in making the
okolehao in the evening had all but
gone out.
In the police court yesterday morning
Pipilani plead guilty and was sentenced
to three months Imprisonment and to
/ pay a fine of 500.

WHEELS THEY RIDE
Men Now in Training For
H. A. A. C. Field Day.
Probability That Races Will Be In
teresting-HOn Road Club
Has a Good Team.

The 18th of January, or rather the
10th, for the former date falls on Sun
day, is almost here, and the wheelmen
are getting down into hard training for
the events that come on that day.
Ever since the bicycle feature entered
into the athletic events of the H. A A
c., there has been a steady effort to
make it the most prominent one, and,
indeed, with the constantly developing
material that Honolulu is showing,
there is no reason why this end should
not be accomplished.
Most of the bicycle men are now in
training, and below Will be found the
complete list of those who are pushing
their wheels daily out along King
street:
Fred Damon and George Martin, who
are riding the famed Rambler.
Tom King, with the Tribune as his
choice.
John Silva, the ''Manoa Wonder"
and D. G. Sylvester, who will push the
Remington.
Frank Grace, the winner of the green
horn race in the last H. A. A. G. field
day events, who will stick to the
! Cleveland
Charles Murray, ever faithful to the
yellow Stearns.
Damon, Martin, King, Grace and
Murray are training together, and will
represent the Honolulu Road Club in
the bicycle events.
George Angus will probably not ride
this year, fact that will be a great
disappointment to the bicycle men.
Silva and Sylvester, although riding
the same make of wheel, are not train
ing together.
Percy Lishman, who will also ride
Remington, will not go into training
until after Christmas.
H. Giles has not begun training yet,
but it is very probable he will ride IN
the races.
r. Bond will begin training soon. He
will ride the Rambler, and will be in the
H. r. c. list.
All that remains to be done now by
those interested in wheeling events is
to watch the Indicator. The 10th will
show which way the rooster turns his
head.

KALI IN TROUBLE.
Admits Theft of a Blue Serge
Coat From :. Ammo.

Coat From =. Ammo.
Poor Kali testified against his pal
Kane in the police court yesterday
morning and helped him to get nine
months, and now it is probable that
he will keep him company on the reef,
as he did in the burglary of various
Chinese and Japanese stores in the
city.
At the completion of the case of Ka-
ne yesterday the doors of the police sta
ton were opened and Kali allowed to
walk out upon the street.
No sooner had he reached the outer
door than S. Ammo STEPPED up to him and
demanded: Where did you get that
coat?" The hat part was all right
Kali was nonplussed and stood be-
fore the circle of officers who had al
ready collected, as if in a state of CO.
ma. Ammo repeated the question, and
then pointed at the vest he himself
was wearing. 1t was of the same ma
terial as the coat which Kali had on.
In just a little while the thief had
admitted to the crowd that he had
stolen the coat. Then he was hustled
back into his prison cell to await his
doom in the police court today.
1t is not likely that Kaili's plea will

Mrs. Irwin Distributes Sill, 200
Among Charitable Institutions.

From morning until evening yester-
day Mrs. VIM. G. Irwin, whose gener-

sions to feel, busted herself with the
distribution of $1,000 among the chart
table institutions of the city.
Beginning with the Queens Hospit-
al she endowed a bed and then distrib-
uted the remainder of the money among
the charitable institutions, giving each
its proportionate share, irrespective of
religion or nationality.

RAN ASHORE IN THE FOG
The Steamship Colombia Wrecked Off
Pigeon Point
Passengers Are Landed SafeIy-TEe Vesse
Not Badly Damaged. but Lies In
Dangerous Position

PESCADERO, Cal, July 14-The Pa
cific Mail steamship Colombia, from
Acapulco to San Francisco, went ashore
at o'clock this morning on the rocks
near Pigeon point. a rocky promontory
about five miles from Pescadero.
There was heavy fog last night and
this morning along the coast, and it was
quite impossible to see twenty yards
ahead. The Colombia was nearer the
shore than her skipper realized, and be-
fore her course could be altered, those
on board could hear the rocks scraping
her keel.
The Colombia is below the Pigeon
Point lighthouse. She lies about 100
yards from the shore, slightly careen-
ing, one of her compartments being stove
in and full Of water. 1t is impossible
to ascertain now if there has been any
further damage. The Colombia has on
board 36 cabin and 26 steerage passen-
gers and crew Of 80 men. She carries
the usual cargo from South American
ports.
PASSENGERS LANDED
SANTA CRUZ, July 14.-The steamer
Eureka arrived tonight from San Fran
cisco. Her captain reports that he
passed the steamer Colombia this after
noon and went to her assistance. The
captain of the Colombia declined any
aid, saying that tugs were expected from
San Francisco. The Colombia struck
the beach bow on. Her propeller is
partly GUY of the water, and her stern
is afioat. She lies among the rocks and
is in a. dangerous position. The pas
sengers were landed safely this after
noon and have been taken to Pescadero.

we have undertaken in recent years.
The people are thinking about great
public questions You must not expect
that any platform will contain all you
desire. We select our party, we select
our platform, not in the hope Of some
thing that is absolutely in accord with
our opinion, but which gives the fullest
expression of all our hopes and inspira-
tions; and we take that platform and
joni that party which, for the time being,
promises to give us the best of legisla-
tin on the most important questions.
And in the campaign 1t is conceded on
all sides that the greatest and most
important issue is the money question
restoration Of silver, or in gold stand
ard. You must admit that the settle
ment of the money question is first and
greatest in Importance. When that is
done other things can be considered. On
the money question, the two great par
ties have taken positions directly oppo-
site each other. Four years ago the
position taken by the Republican and
Democratic parties on the money ques-
tion were identical.
Both parties declared in favor Of gold
and silver as the money Of the country.
-Four years have passed since these plat
forms were written and these four years
have been years of momentous events.
and as this campaign approaches the
two great parties line themselves up on
this great question.

the gold standard should be maintained
until it could be changed by interna-
tional agreement until something else
could be done. The Democratic party
declared itself unalterably opposed to a
single gold standard. (Applause.) 1t

restoration of the free and unlimited

without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation. (Applause.)

choice in this campaign between an
American financial system for the Amer
lean people and an English system to
be forced upon us. (Applause) Those

on the European plan, should go and
legislate with the Republican party. II l

pie, whose patriotism has never been ap-
pealed to in vain, there can be but one
issue in this campaign and but one re
suit" (Applause.)
There was tremendous cheering when
Mr.. Bryan ceased speaking. Even those
who had come to hear Mr.. Mason Joined
in the demonstration of apparent ap-
proval.
The visitors were then escorted to a
carriage and amid the peals of bands
driven to the railway station, where
they took the train for Salem.
Extensive preparations have been
made for the demonstration at Salem to
morrow. The placards advertising it an

SALEM, Ill, July 1.-THE citizens of

every yard is being whitewashed in
response to ak proclamation issued by
the mayor of the city, which was pasted

proclamation bears the lik eness Of Mr..

former resident of this city, has been
nominated for the presidency of the
United States, and, whereas, he is about

AT CENTRALIA.
CENTRALIA, ILL.,, July 14.-For some
reason the ovation that was to have
DCCli 6lNCll " w lillAlil 1Di Gil uCl c u
night was almost a failure. Scarcely
500 people all told were at the station
when the rtain pulled in, bearing Mr..
Bryan and his wife. A club of Demo-
cratic voters arrived from Nashville
with band about 7:3q o'clock, and few
minutes later another came in from
Fairfield, but they added scarcely 200
people to the crowd. To make matters
worse, the place selected for Mr.. Bryan
to meet the crowd was at the City park,
which had already been engaged by
William e. Mason, a Republican candi-
date for the United States senate from
this state. On this account Mr.. Bryan
and his friends had to vaoate before 8
o'clock. The big majority Of the crowd
that came to the park appeared to be
Republicans who had expected to listen
to Mr.. Mason talk. There were frequent
cheers for Mckinley, and then the
friends of Democracy would shout for
Bryan, Altgeld and free silver.
When the Bryan clubs from Nashville
and Fairfield had arrived MIR. Bryan ad-
dressed the crowd briefly.
After referring pleasantly to his
friends and relatives in the town, Mr..
Bryan said in part:
1--WE are entering upon memorable
campaign and the issues are being
drawn for the contest. I trust that the
issues involved in this campaign will be
clearly understood and carefully studied.
''In this campaign believe there will
be less of personalities and more of
principles than In any: campaign which

with Senator Dubois of Idaho and Con-
gresham Hartman of Montana as to
the course the silver Republicans shall
pursue in the approaching campaign.
They have postponed their conference
until other silver senators can arrive.
They will probably then issue a state
ment Of their position. Senator Teller
makes no concealment of his inten-
tion to support Bryan for the presiden-
cy. He says he is satisfied that Mr..
Bryan will make the financial question
paramount to all others In the cam
paign. and that IL elected he will de-
vote himself with great singleness Of
purpose to securing a return to nation
al bimetallism.
Mr.. Teller believes that Mr.. Bryan
is a strong candidate to begin with, and
that he will conAantly grow with the
people. Teller will not permit the use
of his name at the st. Louis Populist
or silver conventions.
Hon. I. N. Stevens, national commit
teeman OF the silver party, sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Mr.. Bryan at Salem,
ILL.,. today:
Colorado. Utah and Wyoming dele
gates en- route to the national silver con-
vention at st. Louis will pass through
Lincoln at p. M, via the Burlington on
Monday. They will have one hour and
will arrange to pay their respects to you
and Mrs. Bryan. Answer If 1t will be
agreeablekto you"
The reply came promptly as follows:
I'VE shall be glad to receive your del
egation next Monday"
|. The Burlington will make a special
rate from Denver to Lincoln and return
so that those who wish to accompany
the train only as far as Lincoln may do
so. The rate to st. Louis is to be the
same from all Colorado points!as from
Denver.
The Colorado headquarters in st. Louis
is to be at the Southern hotel.
The seventy-two Colorado delegates
to the national silver conventions at st.
Louis next week and number Of citi-
zens will leave Denver on special train
over the, Burlington route next Sunday.
They will stop at Lincoln. Neb., two
hours Monday morning and will call
upon Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan at the house to
offer congratulations. The regular Pop
ulist delegation will leave over the Union
Pacific Sunday afternoon. The Waite
delegation will start Saturday evening,
going over the Santa Fe.

ulist delegation to the st. Louis conven-
ton will start east Thursday morning.

SILVER COINAGE
The San Francisco Tint Already In Full
Opcrafion

SAN FRANCISCO, July lathe coin
age of silver will be Immediately re-
sumed at the mint in this city and will
be carried on on a large scale for the
rest of the year. The silver coinage for
the year ending June 80 has been very
small, notably in the third and last
quarters. The annual closing up of the
mint and sealing of the vaults retarded
the work at the mint for nine or ten days
in the new fiscal year, but the coinage
Of the white metal is now in full swing.
1--WE will coin not less than $500, 900 in
silver this month";" said Superintendent
Daggett yesterday, despite the fact that
we lost the time up to the 9th or 10th.
We will do better than that next month
and will continue the coinage of silver
until other orders are received. We have
on hand 100000 ounces of fine silver in
bars and I am of the opinion that the
bulk of that will be turned into coin rap
idly. l have no idea why there is this
sudden activity in the coinage of silver"

MORE BOND ISSUES
Gold Withdrawals VIII Soon Make Loan
Necessary


Necessary
CHICAGO, July IA special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
1t is useless to conceal the fact that
should the withdrawal of gold continue
at the present rate another bond issue
will be necessary to sustain the credit
Of the government. While the adminis-
tration has not expected to pull through
until aMrchf4th without another sale of
bonds. it did hope to defer the issue
until late in the fall, or if possible, until
the first of the year.
. The Withdrawals Monday were $685.
800, of which s375oOO' is for immediate
expectation. The balance will probably
be boarded. This disposition to hoard
gold has been notably apparent for sew
eral days. On Saturday nearly s125, 900
was withdrawn for this purpose, and on
the day before the Withdrawals were
nearly $1,00O,0O0, large part of which
was to be kept in this country.
