the attendance throughout the cities they
have played has been most gratifying.
This, perhaps, may be accounted for from
the fact that, while the spectacle is now
insthe eighth year of its career, much has
been put into it that savors of novelty.
The specialists this year include Charles
Guyer, who enacts the role of the clown
and contributes delightful ten minutes
OF the art of tumbling combined with
droil sayings and humorous by play; the
Brothers Rossi, who do most unique
act which excites the extreme comInenda-
ton of the audience whenever presented !;
Louise Traux, a phenomenal child whist
Ter, who, despite the fact that she has
barely emerged into her teens, does some
remarkable whistling, and shows a depth
of expression and marvellousness of exc
cution which in one SO young is very re
markable. Sarony Lambert. who does an
eccentric dance, which is especially fitted
to the situation, and Nellie DAILY TO m a
talented quartette. The new ballets this
year are particularly fine and certainly
most, deliberately dressed.
COON HOLLOW.
Callahan's big production of GA Ro-
nance in Coon Hollow will be the at.
traction at Portland theatre. next Satur-
day afternoon and evening. "a Romance
of Coon Hollow is one of the largest
dramatic organizations on the road. Be-
sides magnificent equipment of scenic

- THE GAIETY. MI
The attendance at the Gaiety yesterday
was large and the crowds are still guess
ing as to Cleo. Is it a man or a woman?
The voice is at least bewildering. The
Creole trio is catching all lovers of genu-
inc coon songs and buck and wing dane
ing. They are very clever. These are
Mabel Fisher, formerly Of the Alabama
troubadours; Hattie May, "the colored
queen of ballads" and Jessie Thomas.
Their musical turn is a serio-comic melo-
dy and such songs as ''I'll make the black
gal inind,'' and "The coon that stole
my Lize,'' were given with an JUNCTION
which won repeated encores. The wiz

AFTERMATH OF THE FLOOD
End q Tale Of Overflow and
Property Losses,
The Submerged District kukuI Street Bridge
Fall Of Sir Inches al
Luakaha.

There is little TO add TO the
faithful statement in this paper
yesterday of the situation in the
flooded district near st. Louis
College. Work of rescuing the
prople and their belongings from
the submerged fiat below Kauma
kqpili continued most of the after.
moon. There was but oDe lite
lost, that of the japanese in the
stream. Damage to household
property WAS very serious to the
poor people along the stream.
Kukui street bridge had hard
fight against the flood. On tn
town side the bare rock founda
ton remained to support it.
Wafer rushed madiy around TIE
pillars and it looked, for an hour
or more, as if the structure must
go. All of the retaining wall at
the bridge was carried away. A
hundred yards below another long
break appears in the wall.
Parts of st. Louis College
grounds were three feet under
water most of the afternoon. The
Brothers were around in bare
feet, saving their own property
and assisting others in the neigh
borhood. Next to the school, ma.
kai, water flooded the first floors
of all the tenements.
Asls was another bad place.
Water came up to the body Of
hacks 10 front of the Chinese
theaters. A long string of fence
was washed away and turned
across the street. Above this dis
trict, in the neighborhood Of
Vineyard street, along School
and up the valley the stu
alton all yesterday afternoon Wac
quite serious. All the low
parts of Makiki, around Punahou
and at Kewalo were flooded. Most
of Palams was under water.
SIEVE lbs house at Liliha and
School was three feet in water.
The fall up Nuuanu valley
during the storm was six inches
Luakahs reservoirs were taxed to
their utmost. Superintendent
Andrew Brown and a big corps of
assistants watched the big pools
all afternoon and most of the
night.
The harbor is filed with debris
of all kinds. Last night it was
banked up several feet high
against the old Kaimiloa. Natives
have been engaged today rescu-
ing lumber and everything else of
any value.
All along the mauka side of the
Waikiki road the Chinese vegeta-
BILE gardens are under water
Viewed from the tramcsrs there is
sea of water from the road ex-
tending clear to the foothills.
Most of this water collected dur.
ing the night, as the food was
fully twelve inches higher than at
5 o'clock last evening. The Wal
XXI ditch was unable to carry off
the water that came down during
the storm, but this morning it
was only one. third full at the
King street bridge. At the point
where it crosses the road beyond
Hopkins switch the stream was
level with the bridge. From the
few vegetable patches that were to
be seen this morning it is likely
there will be big raise in their
prices for few weeks. There was
some interruption to tramcar traf
fic on the Waikiki road yesterday
afternoon owing to the breaking
down of g section of the bridge
near Jim Sherwood's report, and
for several hours the cars did not
run beyond that point. The rain
fall along the Waikiki road,
though heavy, was nothing COM
pared to what it was in town.

In discussing the question Of poll
tax, in it's connection with the SUI
frage plan, number Of the State pa
pers based upon statement prepar-
ed by the Baton Rouge Advocate
have fallen into the idea that thelast
registration and the number Of polls
collected for 1897 is q fair index OF
how the proposed plan would work.
This is an error Of the largest kind.
For instance, the registration in
Grant is stated to have been $50, and
the Auditorgives sos as the amount
paid in for polls. The Baton Rouge
Advocate says it gets it's figures from
the Secretary of State, but they are
incorrect. The polls in Grant parish
for 1897 numbered fully 22OO.

Dry Tort,lgas.

At the Dry Tortugas, sixty miles
from Key West, the nearest town, is
q perfectly secure deep water harbor
consisting Of a number of low coral
keys, with girdle Of reefs so near the
surface as to form splendid break
water.
Here ships may lie at anchor nper-
feet safety from winds and storms
and q better coaling station and rem
devious for q navy cannot be asked.
Dry Tortugas is really thes trategic
key to the Gulf of Mexico, and is,
therefore, of particular value for an
American feet.
It's value as a base of defense was
recognized fifty years ago when the
construction of Fort Jefferson was
begun.
Fort Jefferson is capable OF being
made one of the most powerful de-
fensive works on the American coast.
1t covers an area of five acres, having
two acres of the key outside of it's
limit. 1t is an old-fashioned fortifica-
tion of stone. 1t is proposed to make
it q powerful modern fortress, the
Gibraltar of the Gulf.
The Dry Tortugas command the
Yucatan passage and it's possessore
really control all shipping to Texas,
Louisiana, Mexico. and the Central
American states.

1t is little curious that both Mex

moment that the gentlemen in this

for the financial systems of those

silver. China has just placed $780,
