"coppers." their wives, sweethearts
and friends. and until an early hour this
morning the festivities were in full blast
The grand march began promptly at

Miss Alice Taylor. daughter of Police Mat

daughter. The procession extended almost
entirely around the four sides OF the Arm

grand march his partner was forced 10

modestly lays claim 10 being the hand

time the bill imposes a heavy custom duty
on the 6o.0oo tons OF sugar from Puerto
Rico, that the difference. IN this treat

president OF the United states
A long discussion ensued over proposed
amendment to extend TO Hawaii the inhibl-
ton against contract labor importation
which exists in the United states.
All senators were anxious TO frame the
law SO as 10 eliminate absolutely contract
labor In Hawaii, To this end, the section
OF the bill relating 10 contracts was amend
ed finally by the adoption of the following
paragraph. framed by Hear and perfected
by Spooner:
Provided that no proceeding shall be
maintained for the specific performance Of
any contract heretofore or hereafter en-
tered into for personal labor or service, aud
there shall be no criminal proceeding for
the breach thereof"
Spooner offered an amendment striking
out the section providing that the supreme
court OF the territory should be the Judge
OF the election OF members of the Hawaiian
legislature, and comforting upon each
branch OF the Legislature the power TO de-
termtne the qualifications OF its memhers
After some discussion II was adopted
The general calendar was taken up and

wars OF 1882 to is42 inclusive. known as the

Without concluding consideration OF the
bill the senate after brief executive ses-

FIRE ON HALEAKALA.
Great Territory Being Burned Over
On Maui's Big Mountain.

There is reported to be a great fire
raging on the upper slopes of Halea-
kala ON Maui Captains of vessels
which have passed Maui report that the
fire has been raging for two days past,
and must have burned over great
area. 1t Is high up on the mountain
between the Ulupalakua ranch and
Nuu, at an elevation of from 1000 to
1000 feet. So large Is 1t that 1t has
seemed to some of the passing mariners
that new crater had burst out on the
slopes of the sleeping volcano.
Captain Robinson of the barkentine
Skagit, which came into port on Thurs
day, saw the fire at 2:30 o'clock Thurs
day morning, and he thought it was in
the vicinity of Lahaina. The Mikahala,
which arrived from Honokaa yester-
day, saw the fire at l o'clock yesterday
morning. and her passengers reported
that 1T was so high on the slopes that
1T would not do any damage TO the
sugar lands. 1t is located in a spot
where there are cattle camps, and was
probably caused by carelessness of the
cattle herders. 1t is likely that good
deal of valuable timber land will be
denuded of forest by the fire.
