wish we could tell them how CRATE

charges made against Chinese Con-

avits forwarded to Washington
March b. The charges were pre-
pared and sent to Washington by
Chinese. American citizens aud who
as members OF the Bow WoDgs, or
Reform party, have felt the hand Of
the Chinese gov rnment.
There are 80 mary counts 10 the
indictment that there may bs some
thing sensational in the matter
when it comes out finally. The fact
that the matter has reached this
stage creates only satisfaction
among the friends OF the consul
who say they will have the whole
matter sifted to the bottom.

Comes in With SMALLPOX

The U. S. A. transport Sheridan
arrived from San Francisco about 10
O'Clock this morning aud startled
the waterironters by hosting the
yellow flag to her masthead. She
anchored in the stream and was
boarded Immediately by the United
States Quarantine officer. 1t is said
that she has small pox on board.
While the transport and her
colder passengers are in quarantine
the officers and their wives are on
the streets OF Honolulu taking in
the sights, and perhaps leaving
smallpox germs behind them as
they go ground. Some OF them have
already visited the Palace. The
SICK m IN has been removed to Q ar
antine Island.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-04-09
Analysis of the Situation

So far as it can be judged from a
visit to the several polling places
the vote cast today will be very
small one. UP to one o'clock v-ry
few workingmen had made their ap
pearance at the booths, while the
missionary Republicans had voted
early this morning. At the booth
OF the Sixth precinct, representa-.
lives of both parties say that the
vote Is evenly divided between
Harris and Dreier while it is conced-
ed that Dreier is ahead at the
Fourth aud Third precincts.
The First precinct undoubtedly
will give a Harris maj ,rity, as it
representa- the exclusive missionary
vote. The Second precinct is
doubtful, but the Seventh is un.
doubtedly Dreier's by q substantial
majority. The election now prac-
tically depends on the native Ha-
waiiaus. Itthey can be Induced to
go to vote before FIVE o'clock the
political doom OF w. w. Harris will
be sealed tonight.
Tremendous pressure is being
brought to bear on the HawaiianS
by their employers in order to in,
duoe them to keep away from vot'
ing, but il such procedure will
succeed remains yet to be seen.

CAMPAIGN Is OVER.
Big Rallies at Rmma and Palace
Squares Last Evening.

Squares Last Evening.
There we're speeches galore a.
Honolulu last evening The oppos
ing forces gathered their men early
in the evening for last a .sault be
fore the final battle to day. The
Home Rulers showed the best gen
eralship and the cleverest strategy.
While their big rally was called to
order at Palace Square some of the
leaders stole themselves away, aud
going to the Roman Catholic Mis-
sion engaged the Mission band for
the evening, A procession was form
ed and headed with o big trsnspar-
ency with the words Vote for A.
Dreier". started on up Emma street
to Punchbowl to Kinau and back
again to the corner OF Emma street
when an enthusiastic meeting was
held. q. X. Quinn, Representative
Fred Beckley and Kaulia addressed
the crowd, invited them to vote for
August Dreier.
The line was formed again aud
followed by dozen carriages and a
hundred people started down Emma
street. A lively march played near
Emma Square broke out Repub
lioan meeting there and the crowd
fell in after the band and followed
it to Palace Square whore over 500
people we're listening to the speeches
OF the Home Rule and Democratic
speakers. Among the speakers were
Kaulia, Kanui, Clarke, Makainai,
NJ ,ss man, John Wise, f. Austin, G
Creighton and @, X. Quinn. The
meeting was an enthusiastic one and
lasted until after 10 o'clock.
The Republicans made their last
stand at Emma Square with such
big guns as G. B. Wilson, W Ayle,t,
T. McCants Stewart, A. g. NJ.
Robertson, W. w. Harris, j. Sims
aud John Lane. There was big
or ovid at the beginning Of the meet
ing which rapidly dwipdle1 away
when Kuohs. Sims, and Name
spoke. Evidently the crowd did
not like turucoa,s.
The last blow given to the a.her-
ing was when the Home Rule torch
light procession came down Emma
street beaded by the band. At 10
o'clock Emma Square was deserted
and the Republican SPEAKERS ad
burned to Palace Square to witness
the most enthusiastic meeting OF
the campaign.

MOUNT PELEE'S ERUPTION.
The Story OF 81. Pierre Told by
Father Roche.

Father Jean Ate Roche, pastor at
Alurne Vert, tells the following story
OF the destruction of ST Pierre on Nav
by the eruption of Mont pcler:
"a few minutes before S o'clock in
the morning, after we had finished
carly mass. there was Il disturbance
on Mont pelcc which compelled atten-
ton \ dense column OF SIN Ike and
steam Shot into the air to Il great
height. Up, up it went for three or
-FOUR miles Then it spread out like
the cr.wn of gigantic palm tree.
Around his great backis!l column
rrtPt spiral columns of white, while
through the pi,chy awning above
lightning played illccsSantly.
'l'rlow the crater hundreds of lets
of smoke and steam started upward
until the whole mountaim app AIRED t.
he smoking, burning mass Before
he column broke there WAS IL binding
flash of light followed hy Il terrific re
flame and th'llEler and thrn Il third
and between He second AND third
sheets Of lIamr great >tums shot up
into the cloud OF smoke, and then while
The lightning played | SAW great
cloud break from the mountain and
roll toward us. Then | started to run
ar fnt.fi IN, Il 1,,,.,, ;,,
the solid rock.
1--WE had barely turned our backs to
the mountain when we felt the intense
heat, and before we hard gone 200 yards
all were thrown to the ground. The
whole world looked black. Big pieces
Of stone were falling all about us, and
it seemed for Il moment as if we all
would soon be nsphyXiatcd. We were
fast losing consciousness when Il breeze
suddenly sprang up from the south an |
saved our lives. 1t saved Mornc Vert
when | regaincd my feet looked
toward ST. Pierre, which. you know,
lay in Il hollow place at the foot of
the mountain AS looked there was
Il bllnling flash of fire and in Il mo-
mcnt the whole beautiful city was in
flames. The flame seemed to travel
like lightning over the city from north
to south. But it was not lightning.
1t looked as if the black cloud from
the mountain had been ignitcd rs SOON
as it reached the city.
Every building in the city s rmrl
10 De on fire ut once. | saw flames
Icaping from the cathedral. Walls
were toppling ana falling. AS l
