The attention OF all was fixed upon the
white amphitheatre in the centre of the
plain where the announcement was to be
made.
The ampbitheatre was adorned with
gilded cupolas and surrounded by batter
les. souadrons and battalions OF the In
dian army. Beyond the amphltheatre, In
the distance could be seen great numbers
OF elephants. camels and horses. So vast
was the multitude that the troops APP
peared as mere splashes of color.
BRILLIANT EPISODE.
The arrival at tho amphtheatre of the
viceroy OF India Lord Curzon OF Kedles-
ton and other dignitaries and princes was
one OF the brilliant episodes Of the day.
The princes were clad In silk and adorn-
ed with jewels and their horses and car
riages were brilliant with trappings of
gold
The spectacle within the arena was
most striking and gorgeous. The pathan
chiefs and the sirdars were resplendent
in brilliant raiment. Soldiers, civilians
and visitors from far distant countries
were included among these within the
amphitheatre.
Upon the entrance or the veterans OF
the Indian mutiny there was tremendous
enthusiasm and as the arrivals marched
20 their places the bands played national
airs The carriage OF the Duke OF Con-
naught. who represented King Edward
was escorted by a detachment OF cavalry.
As the Duke and Duchess were driven
around the arena the aSsemblage gave
them an enthusiastic welcome. Amid the
acclamatlons OF the people the Duke took
his seat at the left OF the throne. while
the Duchess proceeded TO place behind
the throne.
When the great ampitheatre was filled
and the hour for the announcement drew
near the multitude within and without
awaited expectantly the first act OF the
rroclarnation ceremony. Then the ap-
proach OF the viceroy was heralded. Pre-

JOHN K. SUMNER
WANTS TO co
POSSIBILITY OF A COMPROMISE
OF THE SUMNER CASE-SUM-
NER'S INTERESTS IN TAHITI.

Talk of a compromise of the Sumner
case was heard yesterday, and it is still
possible that Sumner and the heirs who
are fighting with him over the $4S, ops
paid into court may reach an agreement
as they did once before. The old
mans anxiety to go to Tahiti is given
as a reason why he would rather agree
to the distribution of more money, than
stay here and fight the suit to a con-
clusion.
Sumner says that he wants to go to
Tahiti next month and that if he
doesn't go he will be heavy loser The
old capitalist is said to have property
interests there larger than those he had
here, and next month there is to be a
partition sale which he wants to be
present in order to bid in. The prop
erty consists of large tracts of land, on
which there are many cattle.
One of Summers relatives said yes
terday that his illness was much ag-
gravated by the legal row in which he
has become involved. The old man
complains of pains in the head and his
stomach is troubling him. He thought
he could manage to get away in time
to be in Tahiti next month, but the
prospect of a wait for a decision in the
circuit court and then an appeal to the
higher court makes this very doubt
full.
The talk of compromise is the result
of the illness of the chief figure in the
litigation as well as his extreme an
xiety to go to Tahiti. He came to
Honolulu on the advice of the late
Bishop Gulstan, who was also much
worried during the last few months of
his life by the condition into which the
affairs of his ward had fallen, 1t was
the conflicting demands of the various
parties who claim to be interested in
Summers money that caused the bishop
to ask the court to accept his resigna-
ton as trustee.
The case before Judge De Bolt is
practically closed. There was no
hearing today, on account of the fun
eral of the late Bishop The Ellis case
was closed, and tomorrow there will be
some rebuttal by the other side. r..
w .Cathcart testified yesterday to a
former trust proposition by which he
was to be trustee for $4,000 of the
money, Sumner being allowed $4,000 for
himself. Humphreys and Highton
were to get $500 each. This fell
through, he said because Humphreys
objected to his getting $75 per month
as trustee.
j. M. Mckenzie, receiving teller of
Bishops bank, testified to the deposit
ing of the $4S,025 so that Magoons ap-
prOval was required before Sumner
could withdraw it. He said that Sum
ner was present when this arrangement
was made, and that he raised no OBJ
lection The testimony of f. Buffan-
deau and Victoria Ellis Buffandeau
concluded the cases for the Ellis heirs.

DISPUTE LOEB'S
CONCLUSIONS
PROFESSORS AT BROWN UNIVER-
SITY DISCREDIT THE MUCH
VAUNTED SEA URCHIN.

NEW YORK, December 29.-In an
article in the current number of the
American Journal of Physiology, f. p.
Gorham and w. r. Tower of Brown
University combat the claims made
by Professor Jacques Loeb that re-
Gently startled the scientific world.
Loeb claimed that the life of a sea
urchin's eggs could be prOlonged-death
suspended, in fact-by a solution of
cyanide of potassium placed in un-
sterilized sea water containing them;
that he could substitute artificial for
natural generation; that by placing
certain chemicals in sea water con-
tanning unfertilized eggs he could vital
ize and develop the eggs as if by nat
ural process on these statements have
been based all kinds of speculations,
and it has been suggested that the
principle might later be applied to
mammals and all higher forms of life.
Gorham and Tower now assert that
Professor Loeb was mistaken as to
cyanide of potassium; that instead of
preserving it destroys life; that the
life of the sea urChin's eggs was pro
longed" by it in unsteriliZed water, be-
cause it killed the bacteria which prey
on the eggs quicker than it killed the
eggs, and finally that sterilized sea
water prolonged the life of the eggs
nearly three times as long as Loeb's
cyanide solution.

MACKAY PLANS FOR
NEW YEARS GIFT
THE OLDER EMPLOYEES OF THE
WILL BE WE'LL REMEMBERED.

NEW YORK, Dec 24.-Clarence H.
Mackay is planning a New Years sur
prise for the older employees of the
Postal Telegraph Company. 1t was re-
ported today through Wall-street
sources that John w. Mackay had left
in his win a provision that the older
employees of the Postal Company were
each to receive a gift on January 1,
1903, proportional to their term of SER
vice.
1t was learned from Clarence Mac
kay tonight that he and a committee
composed of Old friends and employees
of his father, were making arrange
ments for the benefaction. While the
nature of the New Years present is
not known, it is generally believed
that the present will be in the form of
a cash gift to the employees who had
served more than ten years, the
amount of the present being fixed by
the proportionate number of years and
salary.

WANTS. AQUARIUM
MARINE PARK
EXCELLENT SUGGESTION FOR
MAKING AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE
OF PROPOSED MARINE PARK.

j. w. Thompson who has been busy
for about two years painting casts of
the various fish of the Hawaiian wa
ters-for the Bishop Museum has an eX-
cellent suggestion for the marine park
which it is proposed to establish at Ka-
kaako Point.
Mr. Thompson says that an aquarium
which will be stocked primarily with
the many varieties of Hawaiian fishes
would be a valuable feature of Homo
lulu.
Il think" said Mr.. Thompson this
morning that an aquarium would be
one of the most attractive things that
could be added to this proposed marine
park. The waters of the Hawaiian ISL
ands produce so many varieties of
beautiful and curious looking fish that
1t would be an easy matters to stock
such an aquarium. 1 would suggest
the erection of a building 200 feet in
length and about 80 feet in width. The
glass tanks for the fish would be To-
Gated on the two sides of the building
with an open space in the center where
people could view the fish.
The work of stocking the tanks
could be affected with small cost, and
so far as describing the fish is con-
cerned we will soon have the names for
them when the report of the fish COM
mission that was in these island is is
sued.
"Such an aquarium would be a credit
to the islands. 1t would in time be-
come famous and could readily be made
one of the attractive features of the
place. A marine park is of itself an
attractive place but with the presence
of an aquarium, there would be an ad-
ditional inducement for the public to
visit the park. If it We're desired, a
geological feature could be added 1t
seems to me that if the government
can not establish such a place, that
there should be sufficient public spirited
citizens who would be willing to give
such a place to Honolulu. That it
would be of the greatest benefit in
many respects, l am satisfied"

VOLCANOES AND
SKY EFFECTS
NEW NATURAL PHENOMENA
AFyTERGLOWS-BI RING.

1.-THE discovery of an order of lumin-
GUS night clouds at a height above the
earth so greatly exceeding anything
which had ever been observed, even of
the highest cirrus" says Il. w. Maun-
der in knowledge, Nwas remarkable
enough. More remarkable still were
their variations. For they were not by
any means a permanent phenomenon,
and diminished in frequency of appear
ance from the time of their first dis
covery. From 1885 to 1889 they were
seen before midnight; later they could
only be detected in the morning hours.
Their movements were more interest
ing still and were such as might be
caused If, though travelling with the
earth, they were but lightly subject to
its attraction and experienced some re-
tardatiOn as they Travelled with it.
From any point of view the existence
of tn Sc clouds must be regarded as
most remarkable That clouds should
exist at all at a height greater than the
highest stratum to which we owe twi-
light and that so existing they should
be an occasional and variable pheno-
menon are entirely unexpected discov-
cries and still remain unexplained. Can
1t be that they are one of the iby-prod-
ucts of the great volcanic eruption of
Krakatoa in 1883? If so they may be
looked FOR after any great series of vol
canic outbursts, such as that which
commenced with the destruction of st.
Pierre in Martinique in May, 1902, even
though these eruptions cannot COM
pare in violence with that of Krakatoa.
Three striking sky effects followed that
great eruption in 1888 The first was
comparatively restricted both as To area
and time, and took the form of a re-
markable coloration of both sun and
moon. At Batavia, in Ceylon, at vari-
Gus places in India, the sun was seen
to be blue or green-Iblue when at the
zenith, angling through green and
yellow to total observation near the
horizon. A much more lasting effect
was that which received the name of
Bishops ring having been first re-
ported from Honolulu by Rev. DR.. 5. f.
Bishop. This ing was a remarkable
species of halo to be seen on every fine
day surrounding the sun from its rise
to its setting, and even occasionally
around the moon.-Sydney Herald.

CANAL TREATY DELAYED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Confirma-
ton OF the Panama canal treaty with
Columbia has again been moved into
the future, and it is now said that no
treaty can be expected before Christ
mas, and probably until the beginning
of next year. Several reasons are as
signed for the delay Mr. Cromwell,
counsel for the Panama Canal Com
pany, has been very i'll, and is in no
condition to do business just now, and
the Colombian charge, DR.. Herran, mas
not received instructions from his gov
eminent. These instructions are sun
coming in at intervals, and although
Mr. Herran has full powers, he does net
feel that he should act finally until he
is sure he has had the last work from
his government. Furthermore, the
question of price is still open.
