BIGGEST RAINS NDFLOODS SINCE MARCH "a, 1891

Steiner, president of Hart & Company,
says the loss will foot up about $500.
Water and mud broke over the side
walk on Queen street and invaded the
auction room of James F. Morgan.
About fifteen bags of rice were ruined
and other goods on the floor were more
or less injured. The store of l.. B. Kerr
and Company was also fioooed but there
was no. mud and consequently little
permanent damage. Taking the city
by sections the results may be summed
up as follows:
At the naval station and along the
water front the actual fall of rain was
light enough, only 1.2S inches. The prin-
cipal trouble there was from the tor
rents that came down from the city.
For an hour or two everything between
the old and the new fishmarkets was
flooded.
At Waikiki and Kapiolani park the
fall was light, being about the same as
along the waterfront. The streams
there rose very high, however, and at
times serious damage threatened.
At Punahou the fall was only 2.6S.
There was no wind and no particular
damage to streets
At w. r. Castles place on the plains
1t was heavier and the water coming
down the streets from the hills cut up
the roadbeds considerably Low Chi
nese houses throughout this section
suffered considerable. The fall was 31S
inches.
Going toward Nuuanu valley a rapid
increase in the rainfall is noted. At w.
W. Halls residence, corner of School
and Nuuanu streets, the precipitation
was All inches. From that point down,
except on the mountain roads the prin-
cipal city damage was done.
At the electric light station in Nuu-
anu valley the fall was $50. This is
/ heavy 10 Oh
| 1t became necessary to raise the gates
and let the water through as fast as
it would go.
At Luakaha, just above the station
the great fall of SIS inches was re-
corded. 1t was from there and higher
up on the mountains that the floods
came
But with these big records Honolulu
was outdone. At Ahuimanu, over the
Pail, the fall was 9.10 The effect of
such downpour can readily be imagin-
ed. Everything movable was swept
away and the roads were all cut up
| From that point down to Kaneohe and
Heeia the fall was also heavy, but ap.
peared to have tapered off toward the
sea on the other side.
On this side of the island the storm
center continued down to the westward
as far as Pearl harbor. At Honolulu
Plantation in the afternoon there was
an immense downpour and at night the
fall was very heavy.
OF the storm Prof. Lyons said this
morning: 81 would refer you to my las
meteorological report in which I pre-.
dicted that we would have a very we
winter. This storm has been brewins
for some days A section of it strucl
Eva last Saturday. Two nights ago /
appeared again to the south, but misse,
us. At the time there was considerabl,
lightning and thunder.
my idea is still that the prediction
of wet winter will he fulfilled to tn
letter and 7 believe that the storm o
last night is the beginning of it, Tn,
pearance Of rains in India combine t,
sunport this theory"
The rainfall in Manoa valley was SO
inches.

CAPT. BROKOw AND HIS MID
NIGHT VIGIL.
Story Of the One Wrecked Vessel
That the Tug Fearless Did Not Pull
OFF.

Captain Brokow of the tug Fearless
and Assistant, Harbor Master Friez are
looking for the individual who started
the report last night of a wrecked ves-
sci ashore off Barber Point near Pearl
Harbor When they find him the per-
son will think that the Fearless is
showing him about the water front for
both Of the men are very angry.
About IL O'clock last night some wild
ly excited individual rang the bell to
Captain Friez's house and loudly call
ed for that gentleman. The stranger
was asked who he was and what he
wanted. 1t was some minutes before he
could give any kind of an explanation.
He was out of breath, and excited be-
yond measure. Finally he managed to
find sufficient words to say that it was
reported a vessel was aground off Bar
Der Point and the Fearless ought to go
to her assistance. Who the fellow was
he appeared to have forgotten in his
excitement.
In any event, Friez donned his
clothes and hunted up Captain Brokow
and informed him of the report. Bro
kow, always enterprising and thinking
that his lucky star was still shining
upon him, hurried to the tug and caus-
ed the crew to get up steam. Then the
crowd waited until additional news
should come of the vessel in distress,
| Dut none came.
The rain came and went but the Fear
less stayed on forever. No information
ARRIVED and Brokow refused to waste
any more coal by risking the trip. At
last the Captain became disgusted and
after holding a council of war with
Captain Friez decided that the report
of the grounded vessel was a canard,
so he shut down the fires and went
back home to bed, a madder and a
wiser man.
An investigation was made today but
nothing could be learned of any vessel
ashore near Pearl Harbor and it is now
thought by the men on the water front
that the rumor was started by some
person whom they describe as a Smart
Alec" One fact is certain, if 'Alec" is
found by any of the Fearless's crew he
will dance a hula with the strongest
man in the bunch playing rag time or
his back with a ropes end.

NEARING THE END.

PHILADELPHIA, October S.-Presi-
dent Mitchell issued his cali today for

pectation that the decision of the con-
Vention will be to accept the increase
and return to work.
Quietness prevailed throughout the
anthracite region today the call for
the convention being generally accepted
as a signal of cessation of hostilities all
around. There We're many expressions
of satisfaction by miners and operators
and by merchants and others in the
mining section today over the prospects
of an early settlement of the troubles.

the strike went officially into effect. The
miners will have parades and mass
meetings at Shamokin tomorrow and

THE r1ILITIA.
Adjutant General Miller Tells Of the
Success. Met With BY the Adju-
tants General.

Adjutant General Miller, who re-
turned yesterday from Washington, is
much pleased with the unanimity of
sentiment in congress with regard to
the increased appropriation for the ma
tional guard. Thirty-eightsstates were
represented by their adjutants general
and their action in behalf ola new APP
preparation was unanimous. Upon
their arrival at Washington they
hunted up Chairman Marsh Of the
militia committee and after a discus
sion of the matter with him agreed to
unite in asking a S2.0O0,O00 a%ppropri-
alton. Several other bills were pro-
posed but all of them were abandoned.
The. members of the party went before
the committee the following day ana
secured unanimous support of their
measure, and afterWard that of the
senate. The party also called on Cen
eral CoTbin and General Miles and
were assured that those departments
would co-operaLe with them toward
the passage of the new bill. President
Mckinley was also called upon and
greeted8the members OF the party cor
dially, expressing his pleasure at see
ing all of them.
The new bill was. placed on the cal
endar of the house last week and it was
hoped to c immediate action upon
it. With the increased appropriation
North Dakota would receive S12,o0o
annually in supplies and stores for the
militia which would enable the state
properly to equip the guard. There
is every indication that the bill viii
pass without opposition.
