ELECTRIC STORM AT SEA.
The Thrilling Spectacle Witnessed
by Those On the Neustrin.

The Thrilling Spectacle Witnessed
by Those on the Neustrin.
Capt BRAND of the Fabre line steamer
Neustria, which arrived at New York yes
terday from Marseilles and Naples reports
that on Friday, the 14th instant, and shortly
before sunset, and when in latitude 1884
longitude 66.4O. the steamer experienced a
severe electric storm The sky assumed a
very black appearance, with heavy vapor
clouds. which seemed to obscure the hori-
zon. Vivid lightning and heavy peals of
thunder created most impressive scene
on the surface of the ocean. Four hundred
steerage passengers were greatly alarmed,
and the officers experienced difficulty in
calming their fears.
Capt. BRAND was at his post on the
bridge. guiding the steamer over the
troubled waters, when one of the officers
distance to the southwark, rapidly bearing
down toward the Neustria. 1t proved to be
a waterSpout. drawing near the port bow.
Shortly afterward another spout doomed up
on the starboard side, about two miles dis
tant. The waterSpout observed on the port
bow in its rapid approach presented most
magnificent spectacle. 1t came along trem-
bling, and for a minute it formed an i'm
mense cone, with large basis on its sur
shaped column of water, until cloud
formed like a large umbrella. 1t quickly
passed the steamer about a quarter of a
mile distant. and shortly afterward was
seen to burst with great noise. The other
WaterspOut scurried away to leeward and
gradually disappeared in the rapidly ap-
preaching darkness of the evening.

MAY BE DISAPPOINTED.
Democrats Doubtful of Mr.. Bryan
SpenkinE at Their Meeting.

The members of the joint committee Of
the democratic organizations in the Dis
trict which has had in charge the proposed
meeting to ratify the nominations of Bryan
and Sewall are considerably exercised over
the question as to whether not Mr..
Bryan will be in attendance upon it. ex-
pected. There was cordial desire among
all the clubs and associations to make the
event one of considerable magnitude, and
it was determined to hold the meeting in
Convention Hall and secure the attendance
OF many democrats of national prominence
besides the candidate for the presidency.
1t is now regarded as extremely doubtful
If Mr. Bryan will be present. 1t is said that
he is row in the hands of the national COM
mittee, which is making all engagements
for him of a campaign character, and it Is
said the committee does not favor his ap-
pearance here because of the demands upon
the nominee from other sections where
votes may be Influenced by him. 1t is said
that Senator JCEes will definitely reach a
decision in the matter today, and in case it
is favorable to Washington, that date
will be fixed for Mr.. Bryan to come TO
Washington. If an opposite conclusion is
reached the joint committee will be notified,
and will then complete arrangements for
holding the ratification meeting without
Mr. BRYAN.

Chairman Jones of the national demo.

noon made the official announcement that
Chicago had been selected as the head
quarters for the committee, and that a
branch would be maintained in Washing
ton, as foretold in Saturdays Star
Chairman Jones also announced the ap-
pointment Of six members of the campaign
committee, as follows: John r. Mclean

Chairman Jones has appointed James L.
Norris as assistant treasurer of the ma

Washington.
Notwithstanding the main headquarters
will be in Chicago, Senator German will

the campaign. The official announcement
of Senator Jones is that Senator German
was requested to take place on the cam
paign committee. but declined, because he
could not so SO far away from his home as
Chicago. AS a member of the national
committee, however, he can be expected 10
show his hand. He will. it is understood
spend the greater part of his time in Wash
ington in the service of the party. and will
be given supervision of his own state and
several Of those adjoining. Candidate Bryan
and Senator German are on pleasant terms
and it is announced that Mr.. Bryan has
consented to speak in Baltimore some time
after his vacation in New York is over.
Mr.. Bryan is annoyed, it is said, at the
story that he and Senator Jones were at
loggerheads over the selection of Chicago
as headquarters. He denied that he had
been, dictatorial in the matter. and says
that while he favored Chicago the choice
had been left altogether to the majority OF
the committee. Senator Jones will leave
for Chicago early this week and will get
to work at once at Chicago. =
AS intimated in The Star the work to be
done here will be of literary nature. A
subcommittee of three will probably be in
charge, with headquarters in the Wormley
Hotel, adjoining the headquarters Of the
democratic congressional campaign COM
mittee. This committee will send out the
documents and have charge of the news

Constitution will be in charge of the news

The crowd at the republican meeting at
Columbus. Ohio, Saturday night was the
largest ever seen at political meeting I'm

Ing room in the immense tent was occu-
pied. Previous to the speaking the Co.
iumbus Glee Club, famous in political
campaigns. stirred the enthusiasm with
campaign songs. Lieut.. Gov A. w. Jones
presided and made brief speech, in which
he characterized the democratic national
platform as enc of anarchism and bank
ruptcy. He said the democrats stole the
populist platform in order to be admitted
to the populist church. and characterized
Watson as one of the horns of the demo.
cratic dilemma.
In introducing the speaker of the aycn-
ing. Stewart l.. Woodford of New York, he

MOKUAWEOWEO.

1t is a wonder that a proper
trail to the summit of Mauna Loa
has not long ago been marked
out, and shelter for man and beast
provided at that extremely in
teresting spot. AS far back as
1871 Commodore Wilkes Of the
United States Navy, with large
scientific party, attended by
numerous retinue of natives, made
his way to the summit and camp
ed for several months beside the
crater of Mokuaweoweo. Since
that time there have been several
eruptions in the crater, which
would have attracted many sight
seers, but for the great hardships
and dangers of the ascent. There
would be little difficulty and no
great expense in making trail
UNNECESSARILY more passable than
the scarcely defined ones now ex-
isting. With shelter from the
wintry weather often prevalent at
the summit the mountain sickness
would be robbed of most of it's
terrors, and there would be no
risk for animals in their stay pro-
Viding fodder was packed up for
them. Stone houses could be east
ly and cheaply constructed of the
material than which there is moth
ing else on the summit plateau.
DIR. Friedlaender has proved that
a route is feasible to the summit
from the Kona as well as from the
Kau side. 1t would be we'll
to have one laid out on each side,
as, in case of flows down the
mountain, sometimes one would
be preferable to another. If better
trails and summit shelter were
provided many people would
doubtless make the ascent when
there was no eruption, as it would
be to some constitutions only an
exhilarating and beneficial adven.

ture, while scientific Investigators
would find much worthy of in
vestigation both on the way and
at the destination. When an
eruption took place in Mokuaweo-
weo such as the recent one, which
is liable at any time, with the
improved facilities for ascending
and provision for comparative
comfort at the top, as here sug-
gusted. hundreds instead of tens
of people would go to see the
sublime manifestations. Moku-
aweoweo crater ought to be made
more accessible than at present,
and then it could be entered in
good faith on the list of our
standard attractions for tourists.
The public treasury might fairly
be laid under some small tribute
for this purpose.

Last Weeks Steamer

brought us some of the hand
soonest little gold chatelaine
watches ever seen. Beautifully
enameled in reds and blues, set
with diamonds, and without
them; others with rows of
pearls and other gems. All
made to run and keep good
time.
/. All have handsome gem set
brooches to match, and the
"toot and scramble" of the
who'll is truly beautiful. They
belong to a class of watch not
her,tOf re lmp rted, and we
take pride in showing them to
our customers, The prices are
not as high as one would ina
CINE for such high grade goods;
ranging from $4,000 up.
Our small oxidised chate-
lame watch at 5000 must also
not be overlooked. For a watch
costing almost nothing; run
ming well, and rich looking,
this cannot be equaled by any
thing we have seen.
Our agency for one Of the
best Swiss watch manufacture
ers, enables US to place before
you, designs which are exclu-
sive and unique, and move
ments which for time keeping
qualities cannot be excelled.
You will be surprised how
fine a "Non-magnetic" silver
watch we can sell you for $14.
90. One that will resist all
magnetic influences; which in
this age of electricity is a point
of incalculable value. No mat
ter what grade of watch you
are going to buy, ours is the
stock to pick it from; because
no other stock is half as large,
no other stock contains the ex-
elusive patterns, and no other
prices IN come down to ours;
AND WE GUARANTEE
EVERY SCREW in then.

THE BASEBALL SEASON.

1t is apparent that the managers
of the Baseball Association are
determined to do away as much
as possible with the annoying
features of last seasons games.
Changing the ladies' section from
the centre to one side is a good
move and the renovation of the
grandstand, seats, chairs and
screens is another. The assign
ment Of a more or less exclusive
portion of the stand to the press
and scorers is one that the Bull
LETIN has long advocated and
worked for, and which will be ap-
preciated.
But, perhaps, the best and most
radical change which is guaran-
teed, is the abatement of last
years nuisance, that pandemoni-
um of noise, interlarded with
coarse and vulgar speech
es. A reasonable amount
of enthusiasm, displayed in a
seemly manner, is expected and,
indeed, should be encouraged,
but the horrible yelling and
screaming, the constant stream of
annoying remarks shouted at the
players, which disgusts everyone
attending excepting the offenders,
ought to be stopped. The best
and most welcome patrons of
baseball are the fair sex. They
will go in force, if there is no
likelihood of rowdyism. But they
will not attend if they feel that
the grand stand is to present such
scenes as those witnessed at near
ly everyone Of the games played
during 1895.
Ladies, especially Honolulu
ladies, take a keen and
intelligent interest in this
pastime and without doubt better
ball is played when they are pres
ent than when they are not.
Again, there is a vastly better
patronage from the other sex on
account of the presence of the
gentler one, so that the finances
of the Association are benefited by
suppressing those evils which
cause the latter to stay away.
The Association promises much
this year, but not more than can
be performed if the direc tors will
not allow their present enthu-
siasm to die out after the first
few games.
