Passage one way between Honolulu and steamer. From Honolulu on to Yoko- hama is $150 and to Hong Kong $175, for first-elass passage, but if one has time and likes the ocean, sailing vessel will take him between Frisco or Victoria. B. C., for $40. cabin passage. That makes most delightful trip.
 The first thing for the traveller to do after lodging himself in Honolulu is to go to Punchbowl hill. about 20 min utes' walk back of the town, and take a lesson in geography. The hill is 500 feet high and gives one chance to To- cate the points of chief interest about the capital. He may then ride to the Pali, about six miles out, past the royal mausoleum and the ancient home of Kamehameha III. and up along the edge of precipice from 800 to 1900 feet in height, whence is obtained a glorious view of the valley.
 Diamond Head, an extinct crater, is not far from town and is worth visit ing as preliminary study in volcanoes.
 
 to the sea, is worth visit; also the vast rice fields of Pearl Loeh. which may be reached by trail, railroad or horseback. Folk fond of ferns may en- joy themselves searching for specimens of the 150 varieties that have been found. Pearl harbor, 12 miles east of Honolulu. should be visited. and so should some of the larger sugar planta- tions just outside the town.
 The number of attractive excursions is almost endless. but the grandest of all is to Tu volcano. on Hawaii. Hawaii is the largest island and gives it's name to the group. Roughly it is 90 miles long and 70 miles wide It is world famous for it's volcanoes. Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Kilauea is ever &C., tive. Its crater is a seething lake of fire, known as Pele's wrath. Pele, ae- cording to mythology, is queen of hell

Hawaii's port of entry, should surely be visited So should the coffee district, where the yield averages 1.200 pounds to an acre. There are two routes to the volcano one by way of Hilo, the other by way of Kau. The fare either way is $25. horse to summit and return to Hi1o or Kau. $20; guide. $5; pack animal with man, S10; food, $5; 24 hours at Volcano house, $5; incidentals, $10-total. $50 Along each of these routes until Kilauea Is reached there is much to see that will be missed on the other, so if one has time one should make the journey twice. At Kilauea on the Kau route are the ancient residences of the kings of Hawaii and the Cook monument At the mountain there are sulphur vapor baths, with attendants skilled in lomi- lomi, or Hawaiian massage. Peles hair and the shining lava may be gathered for mementos. Tourists should take waterproof sleeping bags and plenty of blankets, with poncho to keep of rain by day, with change of clothing if there is room.

One of the best arrangements that can be made by tourists pressed for time is to buy an excursion ticket from Vancouver, B. O.. or from San Fran cisco. This ticket includes passage both ways on the mail steamer, hotel charges in Hnnalnlia and the expenses of the round trip to the crater of Kilauea, the ever active volcano, with charges at the Volcano hotel, where guests spend three nights and two days. The price is $226.

Results in the Death Of one
Negro and the failing Of
six others.

Last Saturday night at $3.50
O'clock a mob Of negroes made an
attack on Mr.. Marcus M. Levy,
at the latters store on the Island
OF Cuba plantation. They opened
fire on Mr.. Levy with their pistols.
Mr.. Levy got his shotgun but
before he could use it a negro by
the name of James Blackledge
who was in the store, engaged
him in a hand to.hand struggle.
His object was to prevent Mr..
Levy from getting in a position
where he conld use his gun; but
whether the negro was trying to
keep Mr. Levy from being shot,
or whether he was aiding the mob
it seems hard to say. At anyrate
during his struggle with the store
keeper, Blackledge received in his
head one of the balls intended for
MI. Levy and was instantly killed.
Mr.. Levy and three other white
men who we're in the store then
returned the fire of the negro mob
and drove them back. During the
shooting a negro ,ii,ta rec.lvea one

of new main line to the wharves, from
which spur tracks run out directly to the
different sheds instead of there being re-
quired, as at present, two switches to put
the cars In place.
At the New York wharf an important
change is its division into two parts. one
for incoming and the other for outgoing
freight. The ships unload at one berth
and are then transferred 10 another,
where they get their northbound traffic.
Just back of the New York wharves are
Two large sheds running almost the en-
tire length, into which all freight for
points beyond Savannah is distributed,
according TO destination, and IL is along
side these sheds that the spur tracks
direct from the main line are constructed.
Between these sheds and the Philadel-
phia and Boston wharves is a large shed,
into which is placed all of the local in
fence. which Savannah merchants have
not heretofore had Should a merchant
have three shipments offfreight, each one
from different northern port, he can
send his wagon right 20 this local receiv-
Ing shed and find the three lots right
there together.
A similar change TO that in the New
York wharf has Been made in the Phila-
dolpha and Boston wharves Incoming
ships tie TO the northermost wharf in the
Boston slip, where they discharge their
cargoes, after which they pull over 10
the southern wharf and take on their out
going cargoes.
A new and expeditions method OF I'M
loading cargoes has recently been put
In use, the service of a double drum cleo
trio motor being employed. The motor is
a portable one, which can be taken to
any part OF the wharves and used in
unloading heavy cargoes. II is especially
important In discharging cargoes at low
tide, which makes the labor much more
difficult The use of the motor has been
found so successful that several others
have already been ordered, and eventually
the entire work OF discharging cargoes
may be done by electricity. so satisfied

trtcity as means 90 that end that tho
