VISIT
THE VOLCANO
VERY LARGE PARTY VISITED THE
CRATER-DISPLAY o FIRE IN
THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE.

HILO, September 20.-The Senatorial
Commission, accompanied by a number
of Honolulu and Hilo men, left Hilo on
special train at 1880 yesterday for
the volcano. At Mountain View they
met seven vehicles, in which all drove
to the Volcano House, making one of
the largest parties that has gone there
for some time.
In the evening Senators Mitchell and
Foster, accompanied by several ladies
of the party and many OF the Honolulu
and Hilo visitors including Secretary
Cooper and Land Commissioner Boyd,
made the trip to the crater. They were
rewarded on arriving at the pit by see
ing an impressive display, of fire at the
bottom. Peering over the edge of the
lava they could see a thousand feet be-
low them a small area streaked with
brilliant crimson cracks and in the
midst of them little fountain of fire
and sparks, whose sputtering could be
plainly heard above.
The fountain" varied in size while
the visitors watched, now and then
becoming bright enough TO illuminate
the pit so that the walls could be seen.
Rain caused the watchers to leave and
they hurried back to the Volcano
House, most of them getting a good
wetting. Mrs. Burton was of the par
ty, but Senator Burton did not made
the trip. The sulphur banks near the
hotel We're also visited and appeared to
impress the visitors as much as the
volcano did

BIC BULKY ENVELOPE
ABSTRACTED BY
B, /, WRIGHT
TAKEN FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS
SAFE IN THE PRESENCE OF AT
TORNEY GENERAL AND THE
TREASURER OF TERRITORY.

When the 3. II. Wright case comes
up for trial, one of the subjects of in
quiry, as having a bearing on the case
may be as to what were the contents OF
a bulky envelope which Wright took
from the safe when he opened it for the
officials after he had been taken into
custody.
B., H. Wright had the combination of
the big safe in the Public Works de-
partment, as chief clerk. He was alb
sent from his office for several days
prior to his arrest, and Treasurer
w. II. Wright, acting Superintendent of
Public Works i'm the absence of Super
intendent Boyd, asked the High Sheriff
to look Il. H. Wright up so that the
safe could be unlocked and the business
of the office go on.
B. II. Wright was found and unlock
ed the safe in the presence of Treasurer
Wright, Attorney General Dole and De-
putty Auditor Meyers. B. H. Wright
was accompanied at the time by his at
torney Carlos Long. Whether any
formal charge against b. H. Wright
had been made at that time or not, 1t
appears that all parties seemed to as
sumo that there might or would be. 1t
was on the basis of this assumption
that b. H. Wright had his attorney
with him
When the safe was opened b. H.
wright TOOK from II bulky envelope
claiming that it was his own property.
His right to take it was claimed by him
and the presence of his attorney was
apparently legal endorsement of his
claim.
Is. H. Wright was allowed to take this
envelope away with him without exa-
minatiOn of it's contents by the govern
ment officials present, by Attorney
General Dole and Treasurer Wright,
Deputy Auditor Meyers being present
simply at the invitation of the Attorney
| General Dole and the Treasurer, did
not feel that he had any right to in
terpose any objections to that which the
other officials seemed satisfied 40 allow
What this bulky envelope contained, no
one but Wright and probably by this
time his attorneys knows That these
contents had some bearing on the case
is Il reasonable conjecture from the fact
of the envelopes being taken away
at the time and under the circum-
stances it was. If if contained evidence
bearing on the criminal charge which
has since been made against Wright.
1t may be the very evidence that would
be necessary for a conviction.

QUESTION OF FIRE CLAIMS
Cut-Worms End
Famous Waimea
Market Garden

The famous market garden at
Waimea, attempted to be estab-
lished by r. H. Long, and of
which so much was hoped, has
proved a failure and has been
given up.
Cut-worms destroyed both the
garden and the hopes of the
promoters. The enterprise was
begun about a year ago last
January. r. H. Long, an expe-
rienced and successful gardener
from Sonoma County, Califor-
mia, undertook it. Associated
with him were j. S. Biberson
and an Italian gardener of
much distinction.
Much was hoped from this
garden as 1t was the first seri-
Gus attempt backed by suffi-
cient capital and experience to
establish market gardening as a
business for white men on these
islands. Waimea, Hawaii, was
chosen because the altitude
gave a climate which it was
thought would enable the rails

vegetables which are imported
in such quantities from Califor-
MIA. Wilder's Steamship Com
pany made favorable rates for
bringing the products to mar
ket. The expectations as to fer
tility and variety of product
were realized. But the cut
worm came with the first mar
keting of vegetables and re-
mained with the enterprise to
the end. Finally they attacked
the French castor oil beans
which had been planted for
wind-breaks, and when the pro-
moters saw this they threw up
their hands, saying it was use
less to fight against such a foe.

MORE LIGHTS NEEDED

The body of G. Ellund carpenter of
the ship 5. D. Carleton, was found
floating in the harbor close to the EN-
mes wharf Sunday night. An inquest
was held this morning and a verdict re-
turned to the effect that the deceased
had come to his death by being drown
ed while in an intoxicated condition.
The jury recommended that the public
works department install a sufficient
number of lights between the boat
landing and the Hackfeld wharf on the
water front, so as to prevent a repeti-
ton of the accident

Sailor Meets
Fatal Injury
On the Helene

While the steamer Helene was
at Pepeekeo a week ago yester-
day. one of the Japanese sailors
sustained shocking injuries in
the presence of his shipmates.
He died in a couple of hours.
There were a number of heavy
piles on the stern of the steamer
and these were being unloaded
by attaching a line to the ends,
raising them by the donkey en-
gine and sliding them over the
stern. Matsumoto, the Japanese,
was one of the crew engaged
in this sort of work. The first
pile was unloaded but the Sec
ond pile swung around and
caught Matsumoto, jamming his
head against another pile. The
blood gushed from his mouth
and nose and eyes. His skull
was fractured. The man was
taken into one of the state
rooms and every thing done to
help him. He was taken to Hilo
and sent to the hospital but died
within a couple of hours.
The Helene arrived last night
from Hilo with the members of
the Senatorial party aboard.
Practically all of the party re-
turned on the steamer, Mrs.
Mitchell and two others being
about the only persons to re-
main at Hilo. While on Ha-
waii the party visited - Vol

the display, as the Volcano was
in a state of activity at the time
of their visit. E. b. McClanahan

Sir Henry Irving has won a great
reputation as an after dinner speaker;
but, according TO Harry Furniss. his
speeches are carefully prepared and
printed in very large block type, easily
read at distance. Herein lies the tri-
umph of the actor. These slips are
artfully placed on the table out Of sight
Of the audience. and while one Of the
speakers hands rests artistically on his
nip the other toys with a fruit knife
and with it pages of the speech are
turned over as they are read. So per
fectly is this acted. so gracefully does
the body sway and so well timed are
the pauses in the speech that only
those seated in close proximity to Sir
Henry are aware he is reading his
speech.
