THE SUN WAS N ECLIPSE
INTERESTING PHENOMENON Il
OBSERVED.
People with Smoked Glasses had Their
Eyes Toward the Heavens at Noon
Today-At the Schools.

The eclipse of the sun occurred
promptly on time today People with
darkened glasses could be seen all over
town watching it and watching for it..
There We're a good many clouds in the
sky just at the time when the phenom-
enon began, so that the approach of the
moon toward the sun could not be seen
very well, in some places in town not
at all. But the clouds cleared away
within a few minutes so that the in
dented disk of the sun was visible near
ly the whole of the half hour the eclipse
lasted.
Perhaps the most interest was eXhib-
tied at the schools among the school
children. Many teachers took this op-
portunity of explaining a phenomenon
which school books treat of but of
which It is so rarely possible to give oc-
ular demonstration
At st. Louis College nearly every pu-
pill was armed with a piece of smoked
glass, and the teachers exhibited as
much interest as the pupils. At Oahu
College and Punahou Preparatory it
was much the same, and it was the
same also at some of the public schools.
large number of people, amateurs
in science, observed, 1t under the best
conditions and with the beet means at
tainable. There are some observers
who say they are almost sure they werl
able to see the phenomenon of hydro
gen clouds extending off from the part
of the suns disc which was obscured
But as this is a phenomenon that is
said to be observable only during a
total eclipse, it is probable that a to-
lively imagination contributed to this
belief

TRAMwAYs COMPANY TO install
SYSTEM.
Trolley Wire and Cars Said to be Com
ing-Bold Move-May be Interesting
Developments.

The Hawaiian Tramways Company
will make a bold dash for electric trac-
tion on their system in Honolulu, if a
man in position to know is to be cred
tied
He states that complete equipment
for electric roads has been purchased,
that cars are being built in San Fran
cisco and that the entire scheme is al
ready well under way.
The system it is stated will be troll
ley. Wiring and generators for power
will be the first material received. Bar
ring an unexpected hitch most of the
material should be down in the course
of month or two.
For the present the old rails of the
system will be used, though later they
will be replaced by heavier ones. There
will be some alterations in the present
switches. A few of the old cars will
be fitted up for use on side lines and
for busy days on the mains.
1t is not definitely settled where the
power house will be located. The COM
! pany has two or three leased lots un-
der consideration. Punahou is pre-
ferred but this plan is subject to
| change.
The move is a bold one for the rea-
son that the last Legislature refused
| to extend the electric privilege in the
| franchise of the company. The COM
pany now asserts that 1t has the right
| anyway, under the franchise, to change
to electricity and proposes to do so.
And suppose the government denies
this right" was suggested to a man
close to the Tramway head this morn
| ing.
I'VE not only have the money tc
| build electric roads," replied the gen.
tleman, but are prepared to insist up
on our just rights"
This move of the Tramways Compa-
ny Will come as a surprise. The facts
have been carefully kept secret a LONG
| time. 1t will be possible, if there are
no Interruptions, to have cars running
on the present lines of the company in
the course of six months.
This story is from the best of author.
ity and seems to be straight and reli.
able. The Tramways Company has
been so slow to move, however. in the
past that a bold stroke like this is al
| the more startling.

ONE ON RuDYARD KIPL1NG.

Various people and papers have OBJ
jected to KiplinE's intense detail i'm
describing machinery, as displayed in
his new volume, The Days Work, and
r. X. Risk in the London Academy
sings as follows:
Here we sit in a thoughtful row,
Coming the wonderful things you
know
Grades and switches and loco brakes
Upper-deck stringers and CARDBOARD
strakes,
Roaring scuppers, full furnace draft
Thrustblock, cylinder, flawed tailshaft
We have struggled, in every deed,
Master thy tale is hard to read.
All your talk we have ever heard
Uttered by bat or beast or bird,
Hide or fin, or scale or feather
Jabbered at high speed or all together
Give us that over and over again,
But don't make machinery talk like
men.
Yea, by our aching heads we plead,
Master, these tales are hard to read

expected a number of returns by the

POLITICS IN JAPAN.
Government Charged With Bribing the
Members of Parliament.

Both supporters and opponents of the
land tax increase bill are using their
best efforts to achieve their ends. All
sorts of methods are being employed to
secure the upper hand. The opposition
were to hold a special meeting at the

which over 1000 people were expected.
Count Okuma had taken up his quart

facilitate meetings with the politicians
who sympathized with his efforts to de-

The government side is not one whit
less active. 1t is rumored that the
chief secretary of the cabinet, Mr.. va

from the secret service fund in order
to buy over NJ P.'s whose attitude s

FIFTEEN GUNS.

Something unusual in naval etiquette
occurred the other day when Bishop
Gulstan visited the Italian cruiser Etna
in port. He was given a salute of fif-
teen guns on leaving the ship. This
was in accordance with an old rule of
the Italian navy, which has never been
changed, Notwithstanding the antaSo-
nistic political attitude of the govCrl-
ment to the papacy. This rule in fix
ing the various grades of salutes puts
a bishop on the same plane as a prince
of Italy.
