Be Made.
Special Dispatch to The call.

SACRAMENTO, July 2S.-The directors
of the State Agricultural Society are de-
termned that there shall be no common

Musical novelties are promised for each
evening by an immense band OF accom-
pliShed musicians.
Secretary Peter J. Shields declared to-
day that enough applications for space
had already been filed to fill the hail.
Citizens generally commend the season
ticket plan adopted by the directors, and
there is no doubt the attendance from
the outset will be greater than the ex-
position has ever witnessed. The mer-
chants of Sacramento are holding meet
ings almost nightly for the purpose OF
cooperating with the directors in arrang-
ing special features for the entertain,
ment of the thousands who Will attend

stopped on 200 buildings In the course OF
erection in Chicago during the second DAY
of the strike of the union brickmakers OF

difficulty. The pahoehoe, however, is
frequently crowded with vesicles
which are covered by a thin crust too
brittle to support any weight, conse-
quently one is sure to break through.
This many of the party did, as their
hands and parts of their bodies plainly
show There is one kind of pahoehoe
which is very level and makes good
walking, but wears out shoes with
amazing rapidity. 1t is therefore i'm
perative that any one making the jour
ney should start provided with sandals
or extra shoes.
Two miles beyond the head of this
flow of 1881 is the scene of action; not
in the old crater of MOkuaWeOweO, but
Just below it. Here you see sight
which is beyond description. From a
hole about 500 feet in circumference
molten lava, in a state of angry agi-
tatiOn, is flowing with the regularity
and persistency of an artesian well,
and out of the center of which foun-
tains with an angry roar dart up to
height of at least 200 feet and when in
the air the lava assumes the most fan
tastic shapes Imaginable as we'll as
variety of colors quite indescribable.
AS these fountains descend with
noise like thunder they splash pieces of
flowing lava in all directions, which
dart through the air with a Kissing
sound. From the walls of the cone.
which are at least 100 feet high, three
distinct streams Of lava are flowing,
two of which. however, are apparently
becoming inactive. The one flow
rushes from the crater at the speed of
a racehorse, and is about fifty feet wide
at it's source, but spreads to a width
of over a mile, and as it widens the
speed diminishes. This flow is now
about ten miles long and has gradu-
ally flowed due north and struck the
q nj where |
filing up a hollow. Which side of the
ridge the flow will take when the basin
is filled is yet to be seen. Should it
flow toward Hilo immense damage will
be done. At the present speed, how
ever, it will take some months to reach
the town.
At night the whole flow of ten miles
is visible throughout, like tongue of
fire and every here and there discharg-
ing what look like redhot bullets. From
an adjacent cOne-abOut 100 feet away
"a magnificent view is to be had.
Nearer than this it is impossible to re-
I main more than minute or two at
time, for the heat is so intense. Under
foot through the assures in the old
lava, you can see the hot lava bub-
bling along and making for the mouth
of the crater at a wonderful speed.
The sight is so fascinating that you
forget the fatigue of the journey and
gaze at the ever changing scene the
whole night through; and it is only the
thought that provisions may run short
and that you are many miles from
water that at daybreak after one last
long look you decide to return.
To reach the crater and return is a
four days journey from the Volcano
House, allowing one night and a part
of two days at the flow. or six days
from HiIo, and it is we'll worth the
time and expense.

Idaho Troubles.

Idaho's Governor Holds That the
Evidence Justified a Verdict of
Murder in the First
Degree.
RIOTERS CALLED TRAITORS
CONVICTION MARKS THE END OF
ANARCHY.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOISE, Idaho July Ex-Governor
Steunenberg tonight gave out the fol-
lowing statement expressive of his feel
ings in favor of the conviction of Paul
Corcoran at Wallace, being the first
official statement Of the States future
plans:
while in my judgment the evidence
in the Corcoran case justified verdict
of murder in the first degree, l would
be 10th, even though it were in my
power, TO criticize the actual findings. If
ever a case of conspiracy to commit
crime followed by the act, was proven,
it was in this instance. The supremacy
and dignity of the law, however, has
been maintained and manifested, which
fact in itself is enough. The important
outcome of the trial lies in the fact that
the aWfulnesS of the situation in ShO-
shone County has been revealed by the
prosecution, and the people can now,
to some extent at least appreciate the
great task undertaken by the authori-
ties. They are also COgniZant of the
many accompanying complications, and
further measures that to the unin-
formed and unthOughtful might be con-
Sidered drastic and arbitrary, are shown
to be justifiable, necessary and wise.
The policy of the State as inaugurated
at the start has not been deVlated from
one iota. and will not be departed from
in the future. The prosecution Of Cor
coran and other conspiratOrs is only one
detail of the States policy, and even an
acquittaI would have had no effect on
the determination to continue the policy
Of making treason Odious and restoring
normal conditions in a section where
our institutions have been disgraced
and civil process frustrated and de
fed"
Congressman Edgar Wilson and Sen
ator Shoup heartily indorse the North
Idaho prosecutions, and say the cOnVic-
ton Of Corcoran is the beginning Of the
end of anarchy in Idaho. Congressman
Wilson crticizes the sentence of Cor
COran. and says seventeen years was
not severe enough.

CLARK'S OPINIONS ON
HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT T
The Senator Says That Congress Al
most Unanimously Favors the
Territorial Form.

HONOLULU, July Ex-senator c. D.
Clark Of Wyoming arrived from San
Francisco on the 18th. This is his second
visit this year. In 4 recent interview on
Hawaiian affairs. the Senator said:
you ask me about Hawaii's future and
I tell you it is very bright. I am, rs you
know, an enthusiast on Hawaii and her
annexation to the United States. The
people over on the main land regard Ha-
wall very much in the same light as a
mother regards her child and with as
much interest and aloha. There is not a
member of Congress that has anything
in mind for Hawaii save the most liberal
form Of government In the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. although in
this body are men antagOnistic TO anneNa-
ton there is not a man who does not
want Hawaii to have a territorial form
of government.
i may go still further You are not
merely assured Of a territorial form of
government, but you will have local priv
ileges here that the Territories recently
admitted to the Union were forbidden.
Il remember reading recently articles
IN two or three Honolulu papers express
ing the fear Of colonial form of gov
ernment for Hawaii. You may tell the
people Of the islands that their fear Is
without foundation. l know whereof |
speak Not man in Congress wants to
see such a form of government for Ha-
wall. and President Mckinley, an enthu-
siast on Hawaii. is of the same mind.

BURNING PEAT ON
THE RIVER ISLANDS
Hot Ashes Found to a Depth of
Twenty Feet Beneath the
C11rfane

STOCKTON. July 2S.-Portions of Union
Island seem TO be between two fires-the
sun overhead and the burning peat un-
derneath A party of surveyors doing
some work for County Surveyor Quail had
a warm experience yesterday while run
ming some lines. One Of the men declares
that his feet would get so warm that he
would have to fairly dance in order to get
them off the surface. Several times the
thin crust broke through and he had to
make a hasty jump for more stable under
pinning When he examined his shoes he
found the soles backened and covered
with ashes.
In driving over one of the roads the
horse broke through the surface and made
speed to get out of the hole. 1t was
found that its hoOfs were burned and the
hair snged off the fore legs.
It is evident that portions of the island
are steadily burning just under the thin,
crust-like surface. Recently an inVesti-
cation was made at one point in order to
ascertain how far down the smoldering
peat extended. After penetrating an
eighteen-inCh surface twenty feet of hot
ashes and burning peat were found.
There is little doubt that many of the
recent field fires were due to the fire get
ting through the crust and igniting the
grain. The deposit of ashes left by the
flames makes cultivation the next year
unsatisfactory. as it destroys many of the
crop producing qualities of the soil.
