ANARRESTHAS BEEN MADE kLAUEA LAKE IS RISING
INCREASED ACTIVITY OF THE
VOLCANO.
Burning Lava Coming Up at the Rate
of Over Ten Feet Day-Authentc
News.

The old crater of Kilauea has un-
doubtedly entered upon another peri
od of activity such as has in years
gone by made the Islands the Mecca
of travellers of note from all parts of
the world. Reports brought by the
Kinau this afternoon confirm lie sto-
ries printed in The Star last week,
with the additional information that
within the past ten days the lava lake
has risen 100 feet, and is still rising
slowly.
Commodore Beckley of the Kinau,
says that scores of people from Hilo
and the surroundings are making
trips to the Volcano. Those who have
been up say that the sight is grand
and awe-inspiring. Among those who
have been up within the past week
are w. Blaisdell, who came down to-
day to this city. and Freight Clerk
Mackay, of the Kinau. They say that
the lake is now only about 400 feet be-
low the level of the great lava bed. 1t
is sea of molten lava, full of life and
movement, and hotter than midday at
the equator. Only occasional fonn-
tains break from the surface. At night
the burning lake lights up the land
scape for miles around.
During the past three months the
lake has risen something like 300 feet
but with very little show of fire. The
great activity seems to have commenc-
ed at the time that the great explosion
was witnessed by the visiting Con-
gressmen. Since that time the lake
has grown hotter every day, and the
display of fire is continuous. Those
who are familiar with the moods of
Madame Pele predict that an eruption
is at hand that will be fully as great,
if not greater, than the notable erup-
ton of 1893.

ers on behalf of Greece and Tewfill
Pasha, the Turkish Foreign Minister
are universally pronounced by the
Greek press to be exceedingly onerous.

WAS ALL SAFE ON JULY 18TH
GOING EASTWARD.
Scientists Think that the Bold Aero
naut is Safe and That the Messages
are Authentic.

COPENHAGEN, September 20.-Dis-
patch from Hammeriest, the northern
most town of Europe, in Norway, says
that the whaling ship Palk has Just
brought there the third pigeon dis
patch from Professor Andree, who left
the Island of Ttomsoe in balloon on
July 11th, in an attempt to cross the
polar regions. The message reads:
July 18th, 1880 p. m, latitude So
deg. 2 min. north, longitude IL deg. 5
min. east.-Good voyage eastward. All
we'll"
NEW YORK, September 20.-Evelyn
c. Baldwin, the meteorologist of the
Peary expedition in 1S93-94, was inter
viewed today by the Associated Press
regarding the latest pigeon dispatch
from Andree:
Baldwin said "This message indi-
Gates that Andree has safely crossed
the $50 miles or so of deep open water
which extends from the north coast
of Spitzbergen to the beginning of he
pack ice. 1t is now evident that the
loss of three guide ropes on the day
that Andree started had not prevent
ed him from guiding the balloon. If
the extreme cold caused any perceDti-
BILE change in the gas, such action
would have taken place before Andrce
wrote his last message, and if the cold
had done the work so much feared,
Andree would not have said, All is
well"
at is significant to note that An
dree was going eastward, the direc-
ton he intended to go. This is a
straw which helps to verify his re-
ported safe temperance in Arctic
Russia.
Doubtful scientists declared before
Andree left that he would be unable
to determine his exact location from
the balloon. The tenths of degrees
given in his message prove that hn-
dree was not only able to ascertain
his whereabouts, but did so with ;e-
markable accuracy.
"The first three days were looked
upon as being the most perilous and
important of the entire journey. An.
dree's ability to successfully with
stand the initial difficulties argues
better than the ordinary lay mind
would imagine for the elimination OF
his daring project"

Upon His Faithful Services.

Rear Admiral Beardslee of the Unit

graceful speech. Captain Berming-
ham and Captain Simpson followed
with brief speeches of congratula-
ton.
Irving NJ. Scott was as felicitous as
usual in his remarks on the glory of
the navy and its quality. He spoke OF
the admiral as a man thoroughly con,
versant with the geography-physiclal
and Political-of the Pacific Coast, as
well as of its wants in the way of pro-
lection.
Captain Merry read letter from
George w. McNear regretting his in
ability to be present and congratulate
ing the admiral on the valuable SER
vices he had rendered the nation.
The admiral responded briefly and
feelingly. He began by thanking the
assemblage for their kind reception
He spoke of the interest which had
been expressed by the people to see
the flagship Philadelphia, and told
how he had taken her down the coast
from Portland to San Diego and had
given the people an opportunity OF
seeing her. He complimented the Ma
val Reserve as a valuable auxiliary &c
the defenders of the nation. He con.
cluded by saying: "As for the Is
lands, we need Honolulu. BE assured
shall never forget my pleasant SER
vice in this station"
Major Sherman closed by extending
to the distinguished guest the felcita-
tions of the Mexican war veterans, and
the reception came to an end. Monday

the members of the Loyal Legion.
