KILAUEA IS OFFERING SOME
HOT ROCKS.
A Good Deal More Heat Than There
Was In February But No Marked
Changes Otherwise.

The conditions at Kilauea are thus
succintly stated The volcanic condi-
tiOns in Hawaii have not changed ra-
cically from those existing in February
last
Whether there has been any action at
the summit crater is undetermined.
Manager WaldrOn Of the Volcano
House states that he has seen rnither
fire nor smoke from that quarter. hut y
number of others, including T.. y.
Baldwin, the civil engineer state that
they saw smoke issuing from the top
of Mauna Loa as late as June y.
AT Kilauea the outer crater is un-
changed, except that the hot cracks on
the side toward the Volcano House and
extending north and south some 400 feet
are hotter than they were on February
IL. The rocks are a rosy red to within
six inches of the surface, and a stick
inserted into a crack bursts into flames
in a few seconds. The indications are
strong, judging from past experience
that lake will form at this point.
The chief scene of present activity is
in the main central pit of Halemaumau
which was formed by the subsiderce OF
great lake late in 1894 This Is stiH
between 800 and 1000 feet deep, and ap-
proXimately a quarter of mile long,
but gives evidence of great cOmmo-
ton within it's walls since February
last. The fiat floor of recently formed
black lava then visible at the extreme
bottom has disappeared. The debris
slopes from the perpendicular walls to
the center of the pit have radically
changed their shape, and look as
though they had been violently churn-
ed up. There are frequent slides and
falls of rock from the walls and slopes
of the pit, which echo up through the
smoke with a sharp metallic sound, pro-
a It'd s,I,
makes one unconsciously move back
from the edge of the pit.
There is an immense volume of
smoke and sulphur vapOr pouring out
of the extreme bottom of the pit and
from two spots about a third of the
way from the bottom. This smoke col
lumn was plainly visible from off the
Hamakua coast, 20 miles away, and
could be seen as easily a hundred miles.
There is molten lava visible in the pit.
but 1t is tluctuatinS in quantity, about
tWo-thirds of the way to the bottom,
by reason of the great quantity of
smoke, visible only intermittently
When it first appeared it ran down to
the bottom of the pit in a magnificent
cascade some 200 feet high, forming a
Fake. 9ais has entirely disappeared
under the falling walls and deeris
slopes, and only the molten lava on
the side Of the pit was visible.
The normal condition of Halemau-
mau is the filling of a pit, the building
of a cone over it, the formation of one
or more lakes about .he base If the
cone or over the space previously oc-
cupied by the pit, followed inevitably
by a collapse of the whole structure,
forming new pit. Since 1868 this mas
happened four times. The last col
lapse occurred in 1894 The filling up
process delayed longer than usual, has
now begun, and the normal pro1uc-
ton of lakes, blowholes. flows and
falls from the pit walls may be ex-
pected until the pit is once more fun
and overlooking.

THERE IS A STILL NEAR
KAHANA.
Collector Chamberlain Would Like To
Locate It--Makia Gets Free Drink
In Court,

The Kawallani olxolehao case came
up for hearing before Judge Estee this
morning. The first witness for the de-
fense, Peter Makia of Kahana, testified
to having secured the okolehao for
Captain Moses of the Kawailani, and
declared that he had secured the stuff
for himself at frequent intervals. There
was a still in the mountains, from
which he was supplied by Jap.
Makia said that he knew okOlehao
when he tasted it, having used it fire.
quenty at Kahana. Attorney Ashford
objected to his tasting the samples in
court, but was Overruled. Makia began
to pour under instructions from United
States Attorney Breckons to take as
much as he wanted and then say what
it was. Don't take much!" said the
judge, and Ashford demanded that the
drinks be small ones, as be wanted to
Cross-examine the witness.
Makia barely tasted the first bottle,
and pronounced II the real thing. Then
he took a fair swallow out of the sec
ond bottle and said that it also was
OkolehaO. He had delivered it to the
captain. of the Kawailani, making him
present of it. Under cross-examina-
ton by Ashford he said he didn't know
where it was made and couldn't say

Collector Chamberlain identified the
bottles and told of his having seize
them on board the Kawailani. He said
the stuff was SO proof. He was given a
chance by District Attorney Breck-
ons to explain how it was that the bot

the liquor in court, and reported it's

During the examination of Makia eff
forts were made to get some informa-

JAPANESE PUDD'N
HEAD WILSON
THUMB MARKS AND A CHRYsAN-
THEMUM LOVE
AFFAIR,
FALSE IMPRISONMENT ALLEGED
BY HUNIsUI.
Taken Into Custody By Compatriots
and Released When His Signature
Was Attested la Mark Twain.

Evidently Pudd'n Head Wilson has
been translated into the japanese
tongue, but if this unexpected circu-
lation has not been given to Mark
Twain's work, then some studious Jap
anese boy has been using the work as
text book with which to learn Eng
lsh.
This morning Kondo, Agimura, r.
Nakamoto and Matsufu were before
Judge Wilcox to answer to charges of
having falsely imprisoned Hunisui. an
other Little Brown Man. The case was
quite interesting, not so much for the
testimony that it brought forth as from
the possible testimony that might be
developed during the hearing. Hunisui
testified that he was at the house of
hakamoto on the night of June 5. Ma
kamoto asked if the witness had advis-
ed Nakamotos sister to remain at Mo-
iliili. Munisui said that he had, but
Nakamoto and the other Japanese were
not satisfied and said that the only
way to prove that the witness had not
told them a lie, was to interview the
woman. Kondo invited Hunisui into
the barber shop and the door was clos
ed After the return of the brother
from the interview with the woman, it
was learned that the woman had de-
clared she intended going back to Jap
an.
Hunisui claimed that he tried re-
peatedly to get out but that the crowd
threatened to do him up" with bottles
and hurt him. In fact Matsufu had
pulled his mustache, a fact which the
witness seemer to remember with re-
sentiment.
Finally a paper which resembled a
Paper of Justice" as Hunisui called it,
was produced and the witness was or
dered to sign this paper. The idea OF
signing the paper seemed to be that
the witness would not be given his
liberty unless he affixed his sigma
ture. Hunisui refused to sign but his
life was threatened and finally. when
Matsufu threatened to pull Hunisui's
mustaches again, the prisoner weaken
- and signed
Then the Pudd'n Wilson business
was introduced. In order that the pa
per should be properly attested, the
witness was required to stamp his
thumb mark on the paper by the sig
nature. After Hunisui had complied
with this order, Matsufu demanded
that another impression be taken as
the first mark was not clear. This was
done and Hunisui was then told that
he would have to go out and get his
own witness to see the paper. He was
released but instead of getting his wit
ness, hurried to report the matter to
the police.
The testimony of the prosecuting
witness was unsubstantiated however
and the prosecution enter a nolle PROSE-
In each case after Hunisui had finished
his testimony.

ENDS annual TERM
SUPREME COURT WILL ADJOURN
SOON.
First Term Under the Act of the
Last Legislature-New Plans Works
Well.

Chief Justice Frear announced this
morning that the Supreme Court would
adjourn in two or three days. The
court has two notions to hear and two
criminal cases, and will probably ad-
journ by Thursday leaving quite a
number of cases for the next term
The term about to close began last Oc-
tOber, being the first under the act Of
the last legislature, which provides for
one term per year, beginning in OctO-
Der and such other terms as may be
considered necessary. The act was in
troduced in the House of Representa-
tiyes by Robertson.
This morning the case of j. A. Ma
goon VS.. c. Lai Young, appealed by the
plaintiff, was argued, Thomas l. Dillon
appearing for MagoOn, and Lyle Dick
ey for the defendant. Robertson and
Fitch had motions to present, the lat
ter's motion being in the case of Becky
Panee, motion to dismiss the appeal
on terms. Both will be heard this
afternoon.
The Supreme Court will probably
hold a special term between now and
October, as there Is a good deal of busi-
ness on the calendar. Since last Octo-
ber the work has been more rapidly
done than ever before the court having
been held several sessions of a week or
more, with adjOurnments during which
decisions were handed down. 1t has
been found that this plan works better
than the old plan of set terms, fixed by
statute. If no special term is called the
next term will begin in October. The
court still has a number of cases, sub
mitted at previous sessions, under con-
sideration.

NJ 'CARTHY RESIGNS
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN ALSO
STEPS OUT.
Says the Position Interferes with Busi-
ness-Committee to Name Successor
Is Not Completely Organized.

Col. c. ]. Mccarthy has determined
to resign as chairman of the Democra-
tic Territorial Central committee. Nc
Carthy says that he is still a Democrat
and viii continue to work for the in
terests of the party, but that the posi-
ton of chairman involves so much ex-
penSe and takes so much from his busi-
ness that he cannot afford to keep IT
As Kennedy has just resigned from the
Craftsmanship of the Republican COM
mjttee, this leaves both committees
without chairman.
The consideration of McCarthy's re-
siGnatton may be delayed by reason of
the fact that a number of members Of
the Territorial committee are away
from this island, and it may be neces-
sary to wait until they are heard from.
on Hawaii, the Democratic party has
never been completely organized.
though Palmer Wood was named as a
member of the central committee.
Without any organization, however,
Hawaii cast a considerable vote for
Prince David, the Democratic candidate
for Congress and several Democrats
were sent to the Legislature from Ha-
wall. The reason for the lack of or
ganization was largely the fact that, as
the campaign had to be conducted from
Honolulu, the formation of a campaign
carry on the work. The following is
the list of members of the Territorial
committees:
Oahu: G. J. Mccarthy, w. c. Wilder,
j. NJ. Camara, S. X Kaloa, G. b.
Dwight, c. j. Campbell. Maui: ]. L.
Coke, John Richardson, T. II. Haysel-
den. Kauai: w. j. Sheldon, j. NJ.
Sims. At the convention held October
8. 1900, the representatives from Ha-
wall asked permission to name their
members later. This permission was
granted but il is not known whether
they We're ever named or not.
OF these members of the committee,
not all are still members. j. NJ Sims
has left for Manila, and G. b. Dwight,
who was road supervisor, was compel-
ed to resign on account of serious i'm
health, w. c. Wilder is dead This
leaves but little of the Central commit
tee, and there appears to be no com
mittee existing that can receive and
act upon McCarthy's resignation.

HARD LUCK STORIES.
ANSWERS TO SUMMONS FOR
CONTEMPT.
M. G.. Silva Reduced to $35 a
Month salary-Achl Cannot Pay a
Mortgage.

Two hard times stories were given in
affidavits addressed to the first circuit
court this morning by parties summon
ed to answer for contempt in failing TO
carry out orders of the court M. G..
Silva said that he couldn't raise $3.50
and $50 a month for his divorced wife,
and w. G. Achi said that money was
so tight he had been uneb to pay off
a mortgage Of $3,000 which he was or
dered to pay over two months go. In
both cases cOntinuances were allowed.
Silva declared that times were so hard
that he had been reduced to a job as
grocery clerk, at $35 month. At one
time he had a business with which he
was well able to support his family
but lately it was all the household could
do to get along on $35 month when all
lived together. Now that the divorce
proceedings have broken up the home
Silva says it costs him $S5 a month to
live alone. He declared that he has no
personal property and no real property
on which he can raise any money, eX-
cept at a great sacrifice. There is one
sale of property he might have made
but Mrs. Silva refused to release her
dover rights, and the sale went through
Under these circumstances Silva says
he cannot pay the fee of $3.50 ordered
for Thompson and Farley, and cannot

w. G. Achi was summoned by Magoon
in behalf of c. b. Maile, for failure to
pay off a mortgage of $4,000 which the
court ordered him to pay on or before
April %. Magoon filed an affidavit to
the effect that he had made many de-
mands upon Achi but that the cash
had not been paid. Achi says in reply
that he hopes to get the money but that
on account of the "stringeucy in the
money market" he has been unable to
do so. He does not intend to disobey
the order of this honorable court and
Mr.. Magoon knows it," says the affida-
Wit.
Achi asked for further time, and the
court agve him another week in which
to raise the cash.
In the case of Lima Bailey VS.. H s.
Bailey, Judge Gear ordered the pay
ment of a counsel fee of $35 for j. NJ
Vivas but refused alimony.

LOTS OF OKOLEHAO WILL RUN SATURDAY
RAPID TRANSIT TO THE WAIKIKI
ROAD.
Very Quick Work in Laying Tracks.
Plans for Many Others Extensions Of
The System.

Work on the Rapid Transit extension
along King street is progressing faster
than ever now, and Ii is stated that
cars win be running on the new tracks
by the end of this week. This will con-
meet the Rapid Transit's present sys-
tenn with the Waikiki road.
Next Monday the suit of the Hawai-
ian Tramways Company, asking for an
injunction to restrain the Rapid Tran
sit Company from continuing to lay
tracks on King street, comes up before
Estee, but 1t is quite likely that all the
work will be completed before the case
is decided and 1t will be too late for an
injunction. The tracks are down now
beyond Thomas square, and the ma
terial for completing the road is on the
ground almost that far. When the
gangs of men ceased work on Saturday
night, ground had been broken for the
laying of the roadbed to within a cou-
pie of blocks of the Waikiki turn. Large
gangs were put on the road again this
morning, and the Rapid Transit Com
pany seems likely to establish a record
for quick road building,
The Rapid Transit directors have un-
der consideration plans for building
twenty or twenty-five miles more road
yet. The system will eventually cover
all districts, If the present plans are
carried out and the directors are conf
dent that they will go ahead, unimped-
ed by the efforts of Pain to stop their
work.
1t is proposed to reach the waterfront
with electric cars, and to extend the
system up Nuuanu to connect with the
Pacific Heights road. Other extensions
will be up the Punchbowl district, to-
wards Kakaako and to Kaimuki. Prop
erty owners of Kaimuki are already
trying to raise a bonus to induce the
company to lay tracks there and as
soon as the way is clear the road will
probably be extended along Beretania
street.
In the meantime Pain is fighting at
every possible point He has an ap-
peal already taken to the United States
Supreme Court and has just begun an
other suit which will be taken to the
same final tribunal. 1t is stated that
he will have half a dozen appeals to
that court before he is through, so that
the litigation promises to last year. So
far the tram company has achieved
only one considerable success That
was the suit of the Sun Kwong Mau
Company, by which the building of a
road across the McCully tract was stop
ped and the Rapid Transit Company
was prevented from reaching Waikiki.
That case is now in the Supreme Court
of Hawaii, on appeal, but the electric
cars may soon be able to reach Waikiki
on the widened Waikiki road, making
the McCully tract line unnecessary.

TEWEs WAS LECTURED.

A. TeWes, a hack driver, violated
rule number 3 of the carriage ordi-
nance. officer S. Macy caused his ar
rest last Saturday night. This morn
ing Tewes was in the police court for
trial. He declared that he had not in
tentionaDy violated the rule at all but
had inquired of Mr. Macy, when the
latter told him to move on, where he
should go. Instead of Macy giving him
the desired information the officer had
him arrested. Tewes was indignant
that he had been searched at the po-
lice station and put into cell with a
Chinese. Judge Wilcox lectured Tewes
severely and told him that it was be-
cause of his irascible temper that he
had gotten into trouble again. The de-
tendant was dismissed with the reprl-
mand.
