The good people of Hilo need a
cargo OF ice to take away the bubo-
mic swelling on their heads The
attitude Of the Anticipated rioters in
the village would simply be comieal
if the situation was not so serious as
it is. The Dole government must
either assert it's authority or resign.
1t is no use slapping the Hiloites on
their backs and say "old boys when
you get cool you will be alright"
The Hiloites now in open rebellion
do not represent Hawaii by long
sight. They are composed of small
clique of noisy demagogues who
ought to find place in lunatic
asylum or in jail. The responsible
men of Kohala, Kau, Kona and Ha-
makua protest against the action OF
the Hilo rioters and if Mr., Cooper
knows his business he will by this
time have landed in Kawaihae, dis
charged Sheriff Andrews from his
official duties and with the deputy

IMPRESSIVE SCENES.
They Were Enacted In the Session
of the TransVaaI VOIksrand.

PRETORIA, May THE official closing
of the 1899 volksraad, which broke up un-
officially In September last took place
today. The vacant seats Of Gen Joubere
and Gen. Decock and others were alled
with flowers. The hall was crowded, a
large number Of ladies being present
In the prayer of the chaplain, an alIn-
sion to Gen Joubert moved many to tears
After the prayer, the raad adjourned 10
the afternoon, when The session of 1900
was inaugurated The ceremonies were
accompanied by the customary salute
President Kruger arrived In the state car
riage, with the usual escort All the dip
lomats and foreign attaches, including
Gen. Gourko. the Russian attache, were
present. President Kruger, in his speech
opening the session, alluded feelingly to
the vacancies. Referring to Gen Joubert.
he said:
Future generations will be able to
Judge the work of the deceased, whose de-
meanOr inspired the enemy with respect
and whose humane and brave conduct
gave fame and Importance to the state
among civilized nations
He was profoundly struck he said by
the proof of sincere friendship given by
the people of the Free State, who had
fulfilled their obligations TO the Transvaal
under the treaty. They realized that a
united front was required, as an tack
upon the independence of the TransVaaI
meant a threat against he Free State.
He had implicit confidence in the fu, ure
of the Afrikander nation. BY deeds the
Free State had shown, the president de-
clared, a good example to the peor!e Of
the Transvaal, which had proved Of great
moral value TO those guiding the efforts
of a small state to maintain its independ-
ence. He was pleased to say that the re-
lations of the Transvaal with foreign
states, with the exception of Great Bit
ain, was good. After referring to the
peace proposals of the presidents Of b. tn
republics to Lord Salisbury, Presiden,
Kruger said:
I'VE have proved by legislation and ou.
dealings with Great Britain las year III at
1t was our desire to preserve peace, and
now that war has broken out, we will do
everything to restore peace"
Abiding to the deputation row on a
mission to Europe and the United States
and the presence OF so many attaches
proving the intense interest Of the powers
In the republics and to their methoGs Of
lighting, he said he was pleased to see
that the sympathy of the world was on
their side in the war; that ambulances
had been sent, and that their friends were
united in endeavoring to alleviate the dis
treSs caused by the struggle
After references to the alleged VIOLA
tions of the Red Cross convention and to
the consequent protests of foreign now
ers, President Kruger continued:
Notwithstanding the difficult cir,um-
stances, am glad o say that our finances
will enable us to bear the great expense
of the war, and that the mines are
