Wheat Exports.

Galveston, Texas, October THE total
amount Of wheat exported flom Calves
ton during the past month amounted 10
1854. $40 bushels While this is an In
crease over that Of lat September, II is
pectcd during the month The shortage
Is attributable to the " .'Drquzcd condl
tions OF occan freight rates all over the
world and also to slackenlng Of tho de-
nand for wheat I'm European markets.
Some OF the ships which left here last
month accepted grain for shipment ut the
lowest prices ever offered M this part. II
is said that the ships would rather have
wheat ia their tanks than 60 take wAtrr
in them and for this reason they accepted
wheat at the very low rate. Those who
had contracted in advance for tonnage. OF
course. did not get the advantage Of these
exceptionally low rates. The others, how
ever, reaped the benefit.

Notes and Personals.

Galveston, Texas, October 1.-The steam
ship Powdcrham is expected to arrive to-
morrow from Autofagasta. Chile with an
other cargo Of silver ore which is on route
to Pueblo Colo The cargo consists OF
about 1000 tons aud Is very valuable. Some
idea Of the value OF the cargo may I've OBJ
tanned from the fact that the duty alone
ON the cargo Of the Plnedenc. which arrived
here few days ago with 5000 tons Of
the same ore from the same mines as inc
Powderham amounted 10 $t6i ,26ll6. This
duty. however. was not paid at Calves
ton. hut at Pueblo. Colo. The Powderham
will unload at the new pier Of the South.
ern Pacific aud win be the second ship to
be discharged there The Powderham is
coming ehe same route rs that followed
by she fiucdcnc, aud like that vessel will
have been about two months en- route when
she arrives here. II is not thought that the
Powderham win he detained in quarantine,
as was the rinedene, for the reason that
she viii arrive after October l.
The cargo Of the Piuedcue was unloadcd
In Just four days after she arrived at the
pier. and MS the cargo of the Powderham
is somewhat smaller It is expected to dis
pose Of 1t In even less than this time.

as follows on the Hawaiian political
situation:
The present political conditions of
the islands are all brought about by
the native party. who imagined when
they were once elected TO the legisla
ture they could do about as they liked.
They did not stop TO think that Presi-
dent Dole had a great deal to say
and. whereas they had very little use
for him before. his vetoes of many Of
their bills has but added fuel TO the
IRE.
There is no truth in the report that
Mr.. Dole is to resign or that he is
seriously sick. had dinner with him
and his family the day before we
started and then he told me he was go
ing to spend a few weeks on the isl
and OF Hawaii for a summer vacation.
The legislature is still in extra
session and there is every probability
they viii hold out for the full sixty
days. At the regular session they
6ddled along without doing anything
of Importance and when the time
came to adjourn they had not passed
single appropriation bill Therefore
it was necessary to call an extraordin-
airy session. These bills had not been
passed when | left the islands and as
the native party win hold on 10 their
jobs Just so long as there is any pay
in them, the probabilities are the full
time will be occupied.
In all parts of the island there is
lust as much prosperity as there is in
the United States and the people are
all happy and contented."
With the people shown to be in such
enviable condition and spirits. as COM
pared with most other communities.
it must be dificult for folks on the
mainland to believe that the political
situation is so desperate as represent
ed by Professor Bell. He. however.
ought to feel happy after having had
the distinction OF dining with the
gubernatorial household IN the execu-
tive mansion.

DREADFUL FIRE
THIS MORNING


AT s:45 this morning FIRE broke out
in E. 0. Han & Sons splendid new
block a, the southeast corner Of Fort
and King streets.
Before 1 O'Clock the entire building
was a seeshing furnace.
The hre was starting in Levers &
Cookies building adjoining in Fort
street. Nothing in human power. ap-
parently. can prevent the flames from
extending to the lumber yard of Lew
ers & Cooke in the rear OF their store.
In all probability the whole block
is doomed. including the Hawaiian
Trust Co. Up. c. Jones buildingl and
the Cummins block housing the Pa
cifie Hardware Co. and Krugers jewel
~ store.
Heavy streams are being played on
Chiffon block. containing the Hebron
drug store. on the opposite corner
from Halls.
Heavy detonations of gunpowder
and cartridges. which are a speciality
with Halls. are following in quick sue
cession.
How the fire sprang up so suddenly
is great mystery. 1t was 10 minutes
to a. m. when the acting editor Of
this paper left the office with Mr.. sa-
bin. a reporter. who had remained with
him on a late news detail, for
home. They passed up Fort street to
Hotel. and at Hotel and Richards the
reporter mounted his bicycle, while
Nj Logan trudged homeward by
Richards and Beretania streets. Just
as the latter reached Victoria street.
where he was about turning up the
hin for home. the alarm sounded and
turning round he saw the sky due west
lighted up with terrific glare.
Realizing that it was more than
an ordinary FIRE of recent times. the
editor started on the run downtown
and at Miller street was kindly picked
up by Mr.. Myrtle in his buggy and
driven past the fire to this Office
In the meantime he had sent in
word by cyclist to hold the paper,
and on arrival found Mr. Simonton
and linotype operator. Job Naukana,
standing by for duty Thus our read
ers are enabled to obtain at least the
earliest particulars of what viii IN
doubtedly prove a great disaster.
Sparks are falling opposite the win
dow of the composing room where
this is being written, close by Homo
lulu Hale next the Postofice in Mer-
chant street.
