OF the schooner placed the fatalities
at 500 persons. The steamer Auxcel-
sior arrivd at Papeete the following
day with 400 destitute survivors. Ane
captain OF the Excelsior estimated the
total loss of life at 800 persons. These
figures comprised only the deaths on
the three islands of Hao, Hikuera and
Makokau, whose total population is
only 1900. On Hikuera island, where
1000 persons were engaged in pearl
diving, nearly one-half we're drowned.
On an adjacent island 100 more were
washed out to sea. Makeno and Hao
are depopulated. Conservative esti-

islands visited by the tidal wave and
hurricane at 80. All of them are un-

Ii LOOKS to us like Col. Sands
was about to his limit in the Re-
publican committee fight. He has
coaxed ana threatened, bought
and bartered all the committee
men that he can reach and yet has
not a majority by shade. A few
weeks ago he tried slick turn to
get rid of two Of Whites commit
teemen by redistricting. 1t will
be remembered that year or two
ago a petition from Starr town
ship was successful in having that
township divided into three pre-
cincts. The present Republican
members of the county election
board were very favorable to the
dividing of the township. Our
Democratic members were against
it, but finally consented, and the
districts were made. 1t now hap
pens that the three committeeman
from Starr are staunch members OF
the White faction, and Col. Sands
conceived the idea to los c
White two committeeman. Strange
to say, the Republican members OF
the board of elections have changed
their minds also, and think one
precinct is enough for Starr town
ship. Butin the mean time, some
how, our Democratic members
have determined that the three
precincts in Starr are a success,
and insist on them standing as
they are. 1t is said that Sands
sent Postmaster Mckay to see the
Secretary of State, and have hin
interfere, but the Secretary re-
fused to have anything to do witt
the matter and thus it stands

mitteemen of Starr township viii

WE HAVE cahvassed the situa-

we nominate Col, Sands for Mayor

to attend to it, and besides that
he needs an office on Main street.
Anyhow. He will name the man
that does run, and why not name
himself. This matter was su~-
gested to us, and perhaps we ougA,
not to tell it, but we learn that it
came from Postmaster Mckay
He is getting so internally tired
of the old barnacle loaflng in the
"private" office of the postmaster,
that he is willing to burden the
town with the load, to relieve him
self. We are friend of Mckay,
and are willing to held him out OF
