tainment in one of the lodge rooms,
but as change the committee decided
upon basket picnic this year, and the
affair was a success beyond the expec-
tations of the managers.
AS early as 10 o'clock the tram-cars
began filling up with men, women and
children, loaded down with baskets full
to the cover with good things to eat.
By o'clock the lawn at Sans Souci was
crowded, and among the number were
President and Mrs. Dole.
The committee of arrangements had
provided for the amusement of the lit
tie folks by offering prizes for running,
jumping, bike-riding and other sports,
into which the youngsters entered with
commendable energy. The prizes were
of the sort that tempt children to turn
themselves inside out to possess, and
varied in value from half a dollar to
five dollars. c. ]. Fishel was chairman
of the celebration, and saw to it that
there was fair field and no favors. Fol-

committee that they had miscalculated
the probable number of people present
for it was learned in a few minutes that
provision had not been made for so
many and there were not edibles
enough to go around. The understand
ing was that each member should in
vite two friends to his family. The rule
was not followed and that was the only
cause for dissatisfaction during the day.
The members were we'll pleased with
everything but that one mistake, and it
was decided at the grounds that in the
future the anniversary will be observed
in picnics instead of indoor entertain
ments.
The Daughters of Rebekah, a
woman's branch Of the lodge of Odd
Fellows, were very much in evidence at
the picnic and did much TO entertain
the lady friends of the order Oh the
grounds.

business trip, says the Seattle Times of
March 81. Mr.. Morris once lived in
Seattle, and was at one time receiving
teller of the Seattle national bank.
He went from here to the islands in
February of last year and established
himself in the feed, -four and grain
business. He is now in a fair way to
make a fortune.
He is young man and proposes to
stay by the new business in the land
of his adoption. His visit here at pres
ent is to look up sources of supplies and
arrange for regular shipments. He
does good deal of shipping away from
the islands, but it goes to San Fran
cisco, where the freights are much
more reasonable than to the Sound.
They are SIS here, while to San Fran
cisco they are but So.
Mr. Morris says that these must be
equalized before the Sound can hope
for any trade with the islands.

The most authentic news from
the vicinity of the eruption came
down by the steamer Waialeale
which arrived here at daylight
Saturday.
Chief Officer Atwater was ON
watch off Kaunakakai and no.
ticed long narrow streak in the
sky over Hawaii. A sailor ON
board, when his attention was
called to it, gave it as his opinion
that fire was raging on the noun
tainS, but as the vessel steamed
ahead and there was no change the
conclusion was reached that XII
lauea had broken out afresh.
Next day was spent at Lahaina,
and enormous volumes of smoke
was seen hanging over the noun
tain and occasionally shooting in
pyramid skyward. That night the
Waialeale was at Kailua and the
sight was magnificent. From the
summit of Mauna Loa the column
seemed to shoot five hundred feet
above the summit, and then
spread out funnel-shape.
At intervals the column would
disappear from view and every
thing would be dark for a few
minutes, when the flame would
shoot out with renewed vigOr.
This supposedly bright flame may
have been the reflection of the era
ter fire on the column of steam at
times when the lava was boiling to
the surface of the crater.
Officers of the Iwilani, which ar
rived Sunday morning, report the
conditions of the eruption nearly
the same as when Chief Officer
Atwater saw it, but the news is of
character which tOrrobOrates
the opinion that the fire is in the
main crater and has not yet burst
from the sides as is the case when
a flow occurs. The Iwilani visit
ed ports on the windward side of
the island while the Waialeale,
took the leeward of the island and
went as far around as HOnuapO,
from which place the fire was, ap-
parently, the same as when the
steamer was on the Kona coast.
AS to the probability of an over
flow, opinions differ. A gentle
man who lived at Naalehu during
the flow of 1887 does not believe
there will be a flow because at
the last one he says that the noun.
tain shook for several days before
the fire appeared, and when it
belched forth it was on the side,
while this time there has been no
severe shock and the lava will
probably boil in the crater un-
til it disappears as mysteriously
and suddenly as it came.
a scientific man who has stud
led volcanoes believes the shak-
ing will come when the lava boils
to the top Of the crater. He be-
Iieves that the Hall will bring
down reports of severe shocks.

STONE IN KENTUCKY.
He Talked Eloquently For Blackburn
and Free Silver.

SHELBYvILLE, KY, May l9.-Gov.
Stone spoke here yesterday afternoon.
He stood up for the Missouri Demo-
cratic platform as against that OF New
Jersey. He did not abuse Carlisle or
Cleveland, but simply presented the
arguments for free silver. The Gov
ernor held that bimetallism was one OF
the oldest of Democratic doctrines,
that it was advocated by Thomas JEFF
ferson, and he quoted from the COIN
age bill of 1892 to show that silver was
the unit of value at that time.
He quoted from Carlisle's speech OF
1875, and read editorials from the pen
of Henry Watterson, written in 1886.
When he advised his hearers to stand
shoulder to shoulder to Joe Blackburn,
whom he denominated the embodi-
ment of Kentucky manhood and DEM
ocracy, the audience went wild with
enthusiasm, and cheered to the echo.
He speaks at Frankfort to-day, at
Lexington Wednesday and at Rich
mond, his native town, Thursday.
He will then return TO Missouri, and
next week he Will make two speeches
in Kansas.

HEAVY RAINS IN MISSOURI.
Many Streams Are Out of Their Banks
Grand River IS Rising a
Foot an Hour.

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-During the last
thirty-six hours Missouri has been
visited by the largest downpour of
rain for years. Bosworth was struck
by a waterspout. Rain descended in
torrents for an hour and a half. The
streets of the prairie town were inun-
dated, and the creek bottoms were
several feet under water. The coun-
try for miles was m sheet of water,
but the people sought higher grounds
and no loss of life is reported. Near
Osceola the Usage and Sac rivers are
beyond their banks and people are
deserving their homes on the bottom
lands. The Blair line tracks are under
water and trains are abandoned. The
entire Locust valley surrounding Mi
Ian, Mo-, is under water.
A great deal of stock is reported to
have persisted. Trains on the Quincy,
Omaha & Kansas City road have stop
ped, and several bridges near Milan
on that road have been wrecked. A
portion of the Burlington tracks are
under water, but its trains are still
running. At La Platte the river is two
miles wide and the rain is still falling.
Dozens of families were obliged to
seek shelter on higher ground.
Near Trenton, Grand river is rising
at the rate of a foot an hour, and great
damage is feared. The storm extends
from the Iowa line across Missouri
Eastern Kansas, Western Illinois ane
down into Arkansas and Tennessee.
In Arkansas rain began to fail il
torrents at 9 O'Clock last night, and Al
10 O'Clock this morning the downpoul
continues.

VICTIMS OF THE CYCLONE.
In Kansas Twenty-Elght Are Dead
and Upwards of Fifty Injured.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 19.-Twen-
ty-eight killed outright, fifty or more
injured, some of them fatally, and a
property loss aggregating about ST.
OO0, 200, is now given as the estimated
damage done by Sundays cyclone in
Marshall, Nemaha and Brown coun-
ties, Kan. Further reports may in
crease these figures, as telegraph
communication with the stricken
points is still imperfect and consterna-
ton prevails.
The dead are distributed as follows:
At Seneca and neighborhood, s; at
Oneida, g.; at Reserve, 5; Sabetha, 5;
Morrill,, 4. Seneca suffered property
damage of about $3.50, 900; Frankfort,
500 900; Reserve, 10000; Sabetha,
$4,000; Morrill,, $4,000, and thous-
ands of dollars of damage was done in
the country between these towns.
Although the pecuniary loss at Frank
fort was great, not a life was lost
there.
Destitution and destruction meetthe
eye at every turn. Many persons
were rendered absolutely penniless.
But few of the victims carried cyclone
insurance and many escaped with on
ly the clothes they wore.
At Seneca the damage was heaviest,
the havoc wrought being most COM
plete. Everywhere the citizens have
organized and are doing everything
possible for the sufferers. Appeals for
outside aid have been issued.

DEMOCRATS X UP.
The Missouri State Committee Nav
Work the School District Idea.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 19.-At the
meeting of the State committee at Ex-
celsior Springs last February, 8. B.
Cook, as chairman of the subeommit-
tee, made an extended report of the
thorough reorganization of the party
by school districts. The report was
adopted without amendment or de-
bate, but since then nothing had been
done to put its provisions into prac-
tical operation until to-day, when
Cook, Auditor Seibert and Secretary
of State Lesueur held a conference
here. 1t is probable that within a
month steps will be taken to give the
plan a thorough test. The initiative
will be the calling of a Joint meeting
here or at Jefferson City or Kansas
City of the State central committee
and the chairmen of the ia county
committees. 1t is thought that the
joint conference will be in session two
days and when its members return to
their homes they will be thoroughly
prepared for the work of organization
by school districts. The joint confer
ence will also probably provide all the
money necessary for prosecuting the
work in a systematic and vigorous
manner and for the maintenance OF
general headquarters in this city with
Chairman Cook in charge.

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
Their State Convention Will Be Con-
trolled by Silver Men.

DUBUQUE, TO-, May 20.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention to-day will
be the hottest Iowa ever saw. The
silver men control by about 21s to !,
and threaten to turn down the sound
money temporary chairman, Sam S.
Wright, of Upton. OF the IL Con-
g%ressional districts the First and
Second are for sound money, the
Fourth doubtful, and the rest for sill
yer. 1t has been the custom to allow
each district to select its own dele
gates to the National Convention, but
this year the silver men, in order to
get a solid delegation for free silver
and Boies for President, propose to
overturn any district caucus that
names sound money delegates. The
sound money men say they will bolt
and hold a separate convention in
such case, and this contingency is i'm
minent. There is a hard fight on J.. j.
Richardson tor member Of the Nation
al Committee, a place he has held for
eight years. The silver men are gem
orally against him, and it is likely the
Chicago delegation will be instructed
against him. C. A. Walsh, secretary
of the State Committee and the free
silver leader, is his probable uccess
or. He has said he would accept il it
were inevitable that Richardson must
be beaten.

No Private Snaps,

From the ~. Louis Republic.
Clark, Treloar, Hubbard and Tracy
are making desperate efforts to get
their Jobs reinstated In the river and
harbor bill.
Senatorial courtesy is not mentioned
in the Constitution of the United
States, and 1t Ia responsible for many
sins against the effectiveness Of repre-
sentative government. But II it
serves, in this case, TO keep the bill as
1t went from the Senate it will provo
not an unmixed evil.
The taxpayers of the United States
pay money for river and harbor i'm

mans private property, o for the
campaign expenses of accidental pol
iticians who do not represent their
