Honolulu, Sept 1.-THE Republican
party held its primaries September
LIST to elect delegates to the conven-
ton that will nominate candidates for
the Legislature and for a delegate TO
Congress. On this island about 1900
voters were polled, twice the whole
number Of registered voters at the last
election under the Republic. The ma
tives very largely appeared at the pri-
maries and voted, though many Of
them were brought there by the novel
ty Of the thing. Where there was any
thing but a personal issue at the pre-
maries, II was contest between the so
called earnest patriots" or machine
element" the element that was led in
a measure by Harold NJ. Sewall, and
the so-called missionary element. The
latter won at all but one or two pre-
cints. On Maui the missionary ele-
ment also won, but in Hilo the earnest
patriots" were victorious.

with whom the farmer and irrigator
comes into most frequent and intimate
contact is the ditch rider. who is gen.
orally appointed by the manager or
president. His duties consist In pa
trolling the ditch throughout the sea-
son of actual operations for the pur-
pose of seeing that the works are in
good repair and to superintend the
proper distribution OF water to the va
rious stockholders from the system.
The larger irrigation systems gener-
ally have several distributary canals
leading from the main one and follow
Ing as nearly as possible the highest
ground of the areas designed to be wa
tered from them.
At various points along the main ca
nal or distributary lateral branches are
diverted for conveying the water to
land of individual consumers, and 1t
becomes necessary to place regulating
structures at the points OF diversion for
the purpose of regulating the flow into
these laterals. These consist of wood
en-, boxlike structures in which sliding
gates are placed, by which the size Of
aperture from the main canal is regu-
lated and the flow of water therefrom
controlled. Where accuracy OF results
Is attempted there Is also placed In the
lateral ditch below the regulating gates
weir whose flow for all depths Is tab
ulated. and graduated scale Is so
placed with reference to the weir that
the depth can be conveniently read off.
When IL Is desired to deliver into a
lateral given volume OF water, the
ditch rider consults his weir table and
finds the depth over this weir neces-
sary TO discharge the required amount.
He then Increases or lessons the Open
Ing from the main canal by moving the
sliding gate until the required depth
over the weir IL realized This Is the
most important duty of the ditch rider.
and for Its proper execution he Is ex-
pected to make a trip daily over the
entire canal or his division of It. He
usually travels on horseback or In a
two wheeled cart and carries a shovel.

Henry A. Hazen OF Washington
Fatally Injured.

Washington, Jan. 25.--Prof. II. A.
Hazen died Tuesday night. The fu-
neral will be held tomorrow.
Henry A. HaZen, professor of meter
ology, and one of the chef forccasters
of weather conditions at the weather
bureau in Washington, ID. c., was
probably fatally injured Monday by
being thrown from his bicycle. The
accident occurred while the professor
was ON his way to the bureau. He
ran into colored man, the force of
the contact throwing him from the
wheel and pitching him forward on
his head. Prof. Hazen's skull was
cracked from over the nose to the
back of the head and hemorrage of the
brain has occurred. Physicians after
wards trepanned the skull and rcmov-
ed a large clot of blood from the right
side. They say his injury is one of
the most severe on record and the
chances for recovery are very remote.
Mr.. Hazen is Vermonter, member
of the we'll known family bearing his
name at Hartford. A genertion ago
there were forty-two voters belonging
to the family, all Hazens and all Wings.
Prof. Hazen is about fifty years of
age and was graduated from Dart
mouth college in the class of 1871.
He is a mathematician of distinguish
ed talent, and has been connected with
the Weather Bureau for great many
years, gaining a high reputation by
his ability and his devotion to the
work of the Bureau.

troops last night occupied Spion kop
the key to the Boer position, surprls-

was heavily attacked, and we were es-

Gen. Warren is of the opinion that
he has rendered the enemy'S position
untenable by the the capture of Spion
Kop. He reports that his troops be-
haved splendidly.

ques, says: Heavy lighting was re-
ported for - miles along the Tugela
river. The British artillery fire was
the heaviest that has been experience
ed during the war. 1t is estimated
that over 30, 900 troops were engaged
in an assault on the Tugela heights,
which are occupied by the Beers.
The fighting front extended for
twenty-five miles. The artillery fire
met with no response from the Beers
until the infantry attacked their posi-
tions. The British made three as
sauts and were each time vigorously
repelled.
The Boer Generals were Hans Botha,
Schalk- Burger and Lucas Meyer.
The British cannon, numbering ovel
forty. maintained a frightful concen-
trated fire. Every time the British
