NEW YORK, July so.-The Journal
publishes the following additional de-
tails of the activity. OF the great vol
cano, Mauna Loa. HREGil, which start
ed to erupt on the Fourth Of July:
From Hilo, nifty miles away, the glare
was described as being so great as to
illuminate the heavens. turning night
into day. so that when the clouds clear
ed away the whole contour Of the noun
tain was visible at night.
ON Monday. July TO- Frank Dayey. a
photographer OF Honolulu. organized
an expedition to go to the top OF Mauna
Loa from the Kau side. arguing that
many parties would naturally start
from Hilo for the dow, but few would
reach the actual source of the eruption.
The Hllo expedition reached the flow
on July p and found that It had made
about twelve miles progress in the d.
rectlon Of Hllo. but having reached the
great basin between Manua Kea and
Mauna Loa It was spreading out and
flowing slowly that 1t had broken up
into what Is called an "a-a" flow, which
never makes rapid progress.
It was estimated by competent per-
sons that at the rate OF progress the
flow was then making 1t could not
reach Hllo bay for eight or ten months,
II, indeed, 1t lived that long. The small
flow In the opposite direction has stop
ped, but another one has broken out
near It. and is flowing in the same d.
rectlon.
The HIIo flow is following almost the
same course as that of 1881. which stop
ped within half mile Of the town,nar-
rowly saving 1t from destruction.
Should the present flow reach HIlo
bay 1t is likely to destroy not less than
SS,o0o,O0O or SlO.OOO.OOO worth Of proper
b, including the value of the land COW
cred by It, besides running the beauty
Of Hilo bay, which next to the Bay Of
Naples is perhaps the most beautiful
In the world.
AS soon as possible after the news
reached Honolulu, Mr.. Davey formu-
lated his plans, and asked the Journal
correspondent to accompany him on
what afterward proved to be the most
dImcult and most hazardous expedition
ever made to the top OF Mauna Loa.
They left on Tuesday morning by the
steamer Hall. their destination being
Kan, and from thence to the top Of the
mountain.
Upon reaching Kailuea Konn Mr.
Davey took the precaution to telephone
to Mr.. Mousurat, at Kapala, nearly 100
miles distant. his objective point, to be
outitted. Mr.. Mousurat replied that
he had a house full of people and all
his horses were engaged.
This was a hard blow, but Mr.. Davey,
with indomitable energy, decided to I'M
dertake the ascent OF Mauna LOa from
the Kona side. which necessitated de-
seendlng again on the HIlo side to the
source OF the eruption. It is the most
arduous and hazardous route to reach
the mountain, but time was an object
and there was nothing else to be done.
Horses for the party and three pack
unules we're secured at Kilua, and they
rode through the beautiful, picturesque
forests that fringe the slopes OF the
three great mountains on the island OF
Hawaii, whose lofty crests penetrate
the clouds, and one Of which-Mauna

the parry became dissusted ard r.

However. Mr. Dayey, myself ana

Once Convicted of Having
Accented Bribes

NEW YORK, Oct 3O.-Inspector Will
lam w. Mclaughlin was to-day appointed
to the position OF Deputy Chief by the
Police Commissioners. He has been act
ing Deputy Chief practically since Decem-
ber, 1885, Mclaughlin was one Of the
members of the force accused before the
Lexow Commission of accepting bribes.
He was indicted and convicted Following
the conviction he was dismissed by res
olution of the Police Board on June 10,
1895. On the 18th of the same month the
resolution of dismissal was rescinded, as
Mclaughlin had obtained stay and a
new trial. This time he was acquitted,
and he was then restored to duty.
On December 9, 1898, Mclaughlin was
promoted to be Deputy Chief. The Civil
Service Board refused to recognize the
appointment, as Mclaughlin had not
passed their examination. On January 81,
1899, the Police Board rescinded the reso-
luton of appointment and put Mclaughlin
back as Inspector. Mclaughlin sued TO
compel the board to make him a Deputy
Chief The suit is still pending.

feet, and Mclaughlin had to take an ex-
animation. He was the only officer who
applied and he passed the examination
with percentage of 9O.46. Mclaughlin
is in charge Of the Borough of the Bronx.

FRANCHISE
IS GRAN TED
Electric Line From San
Jose to AlViSO.
Special Dispatch to III. Call.

SAN JOSE, Oct. SO.-The Board Of su-
pervisors this morning granted A Green
niger franchise for an electric road on
First street and the Alviso road to Alvi-
SO. The price paid was $50 1t gives him
the easterly twelve feet OF the road from
the northerly city limits. Work is to COM
mence within six months and shall be
completed in eighteen months. This is
the franchise that was laid over by the
Board of Supervisors last Wednesday at
the request Of ex-Boss Rea, who is sup
posed to have been working in the inter-
ests OF the Southern Pacific Railroad. The
vote to-day was not unanimous, Supervis-
ors George E. Rea and F. L. Cottle op-
posing the franchise. Those voting for 1t
were Supervisors Austin, Roll and Stem.
The efforts of business men are supposed
70 have brought about the change, as last
Wednesday Supervisor Roll was the only
one in favor of granting the franchise.
The building of the road to connect AL
viso and San Jose is but the beginning
of large electric railway system. With
the improvements the Government is
about to make at Alviso this will give San
Jose a good water route with all coast
points and reduction IN freights and
fares.
A proposition is also on foot to build
an electric road to Los Gatos by way of
Campbell and also to convert the Alum
Rock motor road into an electric line.

WILL DEVOTE MANY
ACRES TO SUGAR BEETS
California and Hawaiian Refining
Company Desirous of Leasing
Land Near Suisun.

SUISUN, Oct. 90.-During the coming
season the sugar beet industry in Sonoma,
Contra Costa and SoIano counties will be
given quite a stimulus. The California
and Hawaiian Sugar Refining Company
located 1T Crockett, is desirous of Ieas-
ing about 10000 acres in the counties
named for the planting of sugar beets in
Suisun and vicinity and a representative
Of the company is making arrangements
10 lease 5000 acres. Near Petaluma 1000
acres Of reclaimed land have been Sc
cured. The company will make an ex-
tensive test Of marsh lands for the cul-
ture of beets. In the neighborhood Of
Tracy large acreage has also been rent
ed. IN addition to the land leased by the
company many farmers will plant beets
on their own account.
This years crops have not been as sue
cesstul as anticipated, but this state of
affairs is attributed to the dry season
with an average amount Of rainfall this
winter 1t is thought a good yield viii be
the result. The sugar refining company at
crockett now employs 500 men.

KANSAS SOLDIERS
ENGAGE IN A REVOLT
Refuse to Wait for Meals While Their
Officers Take Precedence at
The Tables.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Oct. So-A dis
patch to the Times from a staff corre-
spondent travelling eastward with the
Twentieth Kansas Regiment states that
a large number of the former privates Of
the regiment have revolted against their
former superior officers and registered an
emphatic declaration of independence and
equality The revolt came at Barstow,
Cal, where the regiment arrived for
breakfast at 10 o'clock in the morning
The men, who were hungry as wolves,
found the eating house doors barred and
were told that they would have to wait
for breakfast. Upon entering the tele-
graph office one of the privates learned
that thirty-five breakfasts had been or
dered in advance for the officers and an
other private who peered through a rear
window found the men who wore shoul-
der straps already seated at tables eating
Immediately there was an assault upon
the eating house. Doors were broken In
and the regiment swarmed through the
hall. When Colonel Metcalf attempted
to quiet the men he met with a storm
Of abuse and several Of the more OBJ
streperous "citizens" threatened to do
him bodily injury. The men were finally
quieted by the bringing in Of their break
fast. After it was all over Colonel Met
calf went among the men and told them
that If there were to be any more second
tables the officers would wait until the
last
