| those who succeeded in reaching the
scene, of which party / was one.
! 'Yet some of the eruptions last for
several months, while that of 1880 con-
tinued for nine months, and ceased
only when the molten lava had reached
within a mile of the village and bay of
Hilo. The eruption from Mauna Loa
| in 1855, which flowed into Kawaihae
bay, continued for period of thirteen
months, and was visited by thousands
of persons, who could approach within
a few feet of the flowing lava streams.
| This was one of the largest flows on
record. These instances, each of which
was seen by me, show how uncertain
is the duration of the lava flows.
During the past seventy-three years
QS23 to 1896 there have been twelve
great outfiOws from Manua Loa, pro-
vided the one reported by the Kinau
proves to be such. A list of these will
be interesting to such as are not ia
miliar with their history. The first of
which any record is known was in 1923,
but no details of it have been given.
"1823-Stream of lava flowed from
Kilauea to the sea, in Puma.
''1S32-A stream flowed from near the
| summit Of Mauna Loa.
''1840-A stream from below Kilauea
to the sea.
''1S43-A stream from near the sum-
NIT of Mauna Loa, on the North slope.
''1S52-A stream similar to that of
1843.
''1855-A very large stream from near
the summit, on the northeast side, to
Kealakeakua bay; continued for thir-
teen months.
"1S59-A very large stream on the
northern slope of Mauna Loa.
'1S68-A stream from Manua Loa to
Kahuku, Kau.
''1S77-A stream from Mauna Loa to
Kalakeakua Bay.
"1SS0-A stream flowed for nine
months toward Hilo.
'1SS7-A stream flowed into Kau.
''1S96-Location not yet ascertained.
Five of these great outfiows have
occurred after periods Of nine years
cessation; one each after a period of
eight, seven and four years, and three
after periods of three years each. Ac-
cording to these data, nine years are
the longest that the great summit vol
canO of Mauna Loa has kept quiet dur
ing the past Seventy-three years, and
this fact has led to the expectation, by
those who have studied the history OF
this volcano, that an eruption was fully
due, and might be looked for at any
time, either from the summit crater, a
lateral outbreak, or from Kilauea or
its vicinity
At $50 last night the glare from the
crater or flow was visible to Charley
Peterson, the Diamond Head lookout.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-04-23

is not always the case. Mauna Loa and
Kilauea being two separate volcanoes,
earthquakes may belong to one or the
other, without our having any means
of ascertaining which. Several severe
shocks have been reported lately, both
from Kau and and from Hilo, which in
dicated increased activity in the vol
canic craters.
THE report brought yesterday by the
Kinau OF brilliant glow over the
south end of Hawaii indicates an erup-
tion either at the summit or on the
slope Of Mauna Loa. AS the last erup-
tion took place on the western or south
ern slope Of that mountain, the present
one, If it proves to be such, may be in
that direction. But whatever it may be,
it will probably be well worth visiting,
as an eruption affords one of the grand
est spectacles that can be witnessed
anywhere.
THE eruption of March, 1868, which
was one of the grandest displays ever
seen, was preceded by a severe shock,
which shook up all Honolulu and was
felt all over the group. On the strength
of that notice from Madame Pele that
she was ready to give show, a steamer
was chartered which carried passengers
to Kona, just in time to witness the
great eruption, which lasted only five
days, but was seen in all it's glory by

Minister King announced signing by
the President of the bill looking to-

Rep. Richards reported for the Com

President for consideration of House
Bill No. II, relating to libidinous 30

Rep. Richards also reported for the

Rep. Kamauoha presented a petition
from residents of Hilo, Hawaii, asking
that full-blooded Hawaiian and half
white teachers who have been in the
employ of the Government for three
years be retained in their positions.
The petition was the outcome of wide
spread .rumors regarding the replacing
of teachers by people from abroad.
Rep. Kamauoha moved that the petition

Rep. Rycroft said that the bill had
been well ventilated and had been laid
on the table. 1t should be allowed To
rest there. There was a great deal of
important business before the House,
and the session was nearing an end.
No further time should be spent on it.
Rep. Kamauoha said he was surpris-
ed that Rep. Rycroft should make OBJ
lection for further consideration of the
bill. 1t was partly on his account that
he made the motion to lift the bill
from the table. He had been away du-
ring the last discussions and tabling of
the bill.
Rep. Rycroft referred to the bill as
being one against the interests of the
military and Rep. Richards carried this
thought still further.

Minister Damon introduced bill ap-
propriating an extra $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the session. The bill was re-

Senator McCandless propounded the
following question to the Minister OF
the Interior:
''Will you please furnish me with a
list of all persons living, out of this
country who have shares in corpora

The Senate bill relating to the dis
posal of property in cases of divorce
for adultery passed the third reading.
Senator Lyman moved to reconsider
the vote of Tuesday upon Senator Nc
Candless' suggestion for an absentee
tax.
Senator Brown said he believed in
the general principle of the absentee
tax, but to take up the matter now
would delay the Internal Tax Bill. 1t
was proper to place the measure be-
fore the House as soon as possible. He
favored bringing in the absentee tax
as separate measure, so as to pre-
vent delay. The committee should have
time to look into the matter.
Senator Lyman sanctioned. the sug-
gestions of Senator Brown. The matter
should be given a thorough investiga-
ton.
Senator McCandless held that there
was no time like the present. A dis
cussion in the Senate would help out
the members of the House.
The Attorney General thought the
matter should be given thorough con-
sideration.
Minister Damon suggested that if the
subject must be taken up, special day
should be set, in order that absent
members might have an opportunity to
be present.

Of the flow.
The information brought down was
not such that enables one to determine
the character of this eruption. 1t may
be in the main crater, as shown in the
cut, or it may have broken out on one
of the sides, and perhaps hundreds OF
feet, or even thousands, from the era
ter proper Ordinarily the eruption will
begin in the crater proper and continue
for several days, and then through tre-
mendous hydrostatic pressure, break
through the sides and emit from some
point further down the mountain.
which is collection of caves connected
with one another.
Ff The flows of 1852, 1855 and 1881 were
howard Hilo, the one of 1881 going al
most to the village, and ran more rap
idly than the others, because it was
almost directly on top of the flow of
1855.
The flow of 1887 was short but mag
niffcent Likelike died at that time,
and superstitious persons believed that
the manifestations had something to
do with the royal family.
The flows of 1859 and 1880 were on
opposite sides of the mountain, and be-
gan about the same distance from the
summit
Probably the best starting point on
Hawaii, to reach the crater, is at Kappa
pala, at julien Monserrat's ranch.
Horses may be obtained there, and with
the assistance of guides the journey
at this season of the year can be COM
fortably made.
Among the persons in Honolulu who
have visited the crater, H. M. Whitney
is probably as we'll posted as any, and
while not having made close study
of the geological formations, he has
kept close track Of the eruptions, and
may be accepted as an authority on the
subject as far as anyone. He was
seen last night and related his expert
ence as follows, as to the frequency of
eruptions:
They occur at very irregular peri
DDS, and nothing is more hazardous
than to predict when one may occur,
