II whlrIed Across Peconic Bay. but the
Shipping Escaped.

Greenp0rt, n. Y. Feb. f4--A phenome-
nal occurrence took place in Peconic bay
yesterday afternoon during the gale
which swept over this section. At pre-
clsely half-past four a gigantic water
spout, the like OF which has never be-
fore presented Itself in these waters, sud
denly reared Itself 10 height OF 100 feet

started as though on wheels.
II went directly across the harbor in a
northWesterly direction. IL tore along
madly until Blpes Cove had been fully
traversed. when II reached the shore
at FuIlers brick yards. two miles west
Of Greenport. II struck an enormous kiln
shed some nifty feet high. and the volume
OF water completely tore away the entire
roof. which was carried In every direc-
tion.
Captain Erm Monseil and Albert Cor
win. with few other sailors. were at the
time securing some boats used in the
oyster industry. and perceiying the water
spout advancing upon them, threw them
selves az fun length upon large float
The body Of water passed within a
few feet OF them. but luckily did not
reach them. or beyond doubt all would
have been drowned or seriously injured.
Many other seafaring men saw the won
der, but all vessels and crews escaped
damage from the visitor.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Huntington Addresses the Senate Com
mittes on Pacific Roads.

Washington, Feb. 1I.-7C. p. Huntington
was before the senate committee on Pa
cific roads today. He began by saying
that when the Pacific roads were built
so much was heard of their being
built for war purposes as had been since.
They were built for policing the country
and to permit easy communication be-
tween the the East and the West. Tn,
promoters OF the line were regarded as
crazy. When the road was completed
the assets were not sufficient to meet
the obligations of the road by several
millions.
The road benefited many and injured
none Among othe, things. 1t had vastly
enhanced the value of lands through
which it passed. 1t had also had the
effect of causing a discontinuance OF
Indian hostilities. Huntington dwelt up
on the fact that the road had been kept
in fine condition; it was, he asserted now
in condition to do twice the business done
by all transcontinental lines. The cut
ing of rates and the reduction of time
had been responsible for the fact that
the company was not able to meet its
obligations. In concluding his prepared
stdtement, Huntington suggested that
he debt should be refunded at the rate Of
one and one-half per cent and provision
made for the payment of a fixed sum-
say every six months. until the debt
should be wiped out He thought the
security would be good. In reply to ques-
tons by Senator Gear, Huntington said
It was not true that the Southern Pacific
had been built largely upon the moneys
earned by the Central Pacific, but the
former road had been constructed largely
ON credit.

I'll Paso, Feb. l4.-Instead OF being in a
whirl of excitement today over the great
prize fight. FL Paso was quieter than at
any time during the last few days. Stu
arts headquarters were about the deadest
place in town. and were practically de
serted during the greater part Of the
day. There was sorely disappointed
crowd OF sports hanging around the stree,
corners. and several OF them, not fortified
for the financial strain of long stay in
FL Paso. were forced to take the back
track for home. These. however, were
few in number. and the majority are
hanging on with implicit faith in Stuart's
ability TO pull off the fight as he has
agreed. There is no question that the
fight will take place. but whether on Mon
day is an open question.

the licensed saloons will only tend
to lengthen the hours in which
illicit dealers will ply their voca-
ton. This belief is supported by
the testimony of the Marshal of
the Republic. Certainly every
effort should be made to protect
the lawful and legitimate interests
of licensed dealers. With the latter
they are right under the eye of the
police department, while with the
illicit traffic, its very nature must
remove it as far as possible from
legitimate control. II does not
seem fair that after demanding
heavy license and bond for car
rying out its conditions that their
places of business should be
closed only to enable those who
pay not one cent of tribute to the
Government to profit by our
misplaced confidence in theory,
that lessening the hours will tend
to lessen drunkenness.
We heartily concur with the
majority report that it would be
inadvisable to adopt the Gothen-
burg orDispensary system for the
regulation of the notwithstanding
liquors at this time. Certainly any
attempt to adjust the features of
either of these systems to the condi-
tionexisting here will demand more
thought and preparation than
MISUNDERSTANDING been able
to give it. Should it please the
legislature to continue the SER
vices of commission to report at
the next regular session in 1898,
sufficient time will thus
be given to make more compre-
hensive report. With these ex-
ceptions, we are, in the main in
general sympathy with the rec
concentrations and proposed acts,
and feel that we may safely leave
the review of them to your Hon
orable Body.

to recover it, he went to
California, settling first in Todds
Valley and afterwards in San
Francisco. From San Francisco
he came to the Islands, arriving
here in 1856, where he has resided
continuously since. His energies
were at first devoted to sugar
boiling, afterwards to the cultiva
ton of tapioca. The latter ven
ture proving improbable he en-
tered into partnership with his
father in the tobacco business and
the manufacture and sale of
aerated waters. In 1878
the drug business was add
ed to the other lines and
the business has steadily grown
since. Mr., HOLSTER has always
been noted for strict integrity in
business dealings, and a high
sense of honor. He was man of
very wide information, having
read a great deal and having a re-
tentive memory. He leaves one
daughter, Mrs. H. A. Parmelee,
one grand daughter, one brother

A tract of land of about $500 acres in fee
simple situate at Kolo and Olelomoana ! in
South Kona, Island of Hawaii, about eight
miles by good road from Hookena, one of
the largest villages in Kona. There Is an eX-
cellent landing on the land itself from where
the coffee and other produce could be shipped
and good site for mill near the landing.
Fifty acres of land are In coffee. Roughly es-
timated there is about seven hundred acres of
splendid coffee land lying all on one block on
both sides of the Government Road. Eight
hundred acres lying above and to the East of
the seven hundred acres above mentioned Is
also excellent land and although at higher
altitude is no doubt also well adapted for
coffee culture. The lower land below the
coffee belt is suitable for pineapples and sisal.
There is a drying house, store and work
rooms, Gordon's Pulper, laborcrs quarters
and water tanks at the plantation, and the
land is partly walled. There has never been
any blight on this land, although coffee was
planted great many years ago. Old residents
of Kona like the late d. Ii. Nahinu, j. w.
Kuaimoku and Others have testified to this
fact. There is sea fishery appurtenant to
Olelomoana l..
