The Earl of LonsdaIe, Peer of England, Holds
This Honor---Near Custer When the Big
Horn Massacre Occurred.

The Earl of Lonsdale, the man who
discovered the golden prospects of the
KIondike. and made a report upon them
to the British government, was a Wis
titor in Honolulu yesterday, accom-
panied by the Countess of Lonsdale.
They were through passengers in the
Ventura en- route to England.
Lord Lonsdale is a typical English
man in appearance and has a most af-
fable manner. He responded to a
request from an Advertiser reporter
for an interview with much courtesy
and said that he was never averse to
meeting newspaper man. The Earl
was leaning over the rail on the hurri-
cane deck of the Ventura listening to
the Government band music when he
was accosted.
"Oh, another newspaper man. he
said Iaughingly. We'll, you American
reporters are the most aggressive it

the news.
Il admire newspaper men, and am
always glad to meet them. You know
some of the journalists are the brain
lest men in the world, and the power
of the press is an influence which per-
meates every form of government,
moulding public opinion, and practical
ly indicating its influence in everything.
So do you wonder that I am always
glad to meet the newspaper men half
way?
Yes, this is the first time I have seen
the Hawaiian Islands. There is much
to admire in Honolulu and certainly
there is much to attract the traveller.
I called upon Governor Dole today, and
I think him an admirable man.
When questioned as to his tour of
the world Lord Lonsdale stated that
he and Lady Lonsdale had first gone
to India where they attended the l,1r-
bar. Afterwards Lord Lonsdale went
to Khyber Pass with the Duke of

could desire and on one day ten fine

After leaving India the Earl and Coun
tess travelled in Burmah and Siam and

neyed on to Australia.
Australia is a magnificent country,
but it is now in the throes of a labor

ing out the industrial problem. An
other serious drawback in the common
wealths DEVELOPMENT is the need of
capital The country is growing and
growth always calls upon capital and
more of it. But money can't be had
where labor unions rule investment"
The Earl was asked concerning the
recent decision of the Admiralty office
to increase the naval reserve in Aus
tralia.
The Australian squadron is to be
reorganized, and some old vessels will
be converted into training ships. 1t
is the plan to drill a naval reserve of.
Australians and New Zealanders, so
that in case of emergency, Great Brit
ain can draw upon trained men to
man our warships. It has always been
the policy of the government to man
war vessels for the regular service
from the British Isles.
What has been my official connec-
ton in the British government? Well.
during the Boer war was the Assist
ant Adjutant General of the British
army, with headquarters in London. I
was in charge of the department which
looked after the remounts of the cav

came another entertainment, novel in

was the auction party given on Mon

making up and arranging for the par

pany and such of the nearby neighb0rs
as were privileged, seated themselves
in the ball room. in the center of which
an auctioneer's stand was erected.
On this stand were placed quantity
of carefully wrapped and tied bundles,
the contents of which like an express
parcel salel were unknown to all. Even
the auctioneer, who speculated on the
value of the parcels, telling the pros
pective buyers that they might contain
the most valuable articles, was really
ignorent of them. For the sum of ten
cents each guest was furnished with
so beans, This was currency at the
sale and all bids were for so many
beans. The bidding went wild, and
prices were soon soaring. Many pros.
pective purchasers had to pool theil
capital in order to buy single article
Some packages went as high as 1000
beans. When the sale was over quite
a number of useful as well as ornamen'

at all. Knowing the hunger and
thirst of the average Republican fol
''spoils" we were unprepared to believe
there could not be found one who was
willing ito plant his foot step In the
sea. And ride upon the storm"
The smallness of the convention was
another surprise. The little bunch OF
about 100 of the faithful, made sorry
spectacle in Columbian Hall. and even
they looked ashamed to be seen there
on such a mission. To sensible men,
as many of them were, this little show
must have been very farcical and
was enough to make a wooden Indian
weep, and they looked at each other
in the silliest possible fashion, The
boys outside haw-hawed good deal
when the farce ended and the partici-
pants quietly stole away.

Hicks September Forecast.

The first storm period for September
is central on the 4th extending from
the End to the It'll. This period en-
braces Moon in ap0gee on the Sd, full
on the 9th and On the equator on the
7th. Signs of approaching change and
storms will appear about the Sd, wealth
or will grow warmer in the west, the
barometer will begin falling in the
same region, and cloudiness and rain
will follow, growing in volume as they
pass eastward, and reaching culmi'
mating crisis from the 9Th to the 18th.
Autumnal thunder storms and squalls
will be natural in many sections on
the 9th and 7th.
Weather changes will come In rapid
succession at this time, but we believe
that the dominant state of the weather
will be warm above the average. The
9th, 10th and 18th are reactionary
storm days, on and about which mark
ed storm conditions will arise. The
opposition of the great planet, Jupiter,
falls on the 11th, which is known by
all who have long followed our theory
to be the central day of regular, an
nual maximum Of magnetic and cleo.
trical excitation. This is one of the
periods in which equinoctial hurricanes
from the West Indies need not be q
surprise to jewellers along our south
coast. The period is covered by the
Mars, Earth and Venus disturbances,
and all indications of storms should
be noticed and needed. Very high
temperatures, if followed by electrical
storms at this time, will suddenly fall
to very cool-possibly to the frost line
northward.
A regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the 18th, covering the 14th
to 10Th. The new moon falls On the
celestial equartor on the goth, being
coincident with the central day of the
earths autumnal equinox. The strong
probabilities are that threatening, I'M
settled, stormy weather will begin dur
ing the period 14th to 10Th, and run
into the reactionary period central on
the goth to 23rd.
The last storm period for the month
ia central on the 9th, extending from
the 25th to the 9th. We predict that
this period will bring series of severe
storms, and that the crisis of these dis
tnrbauces will fall on and touching the |
18th to 10th. This is also period in |
which dangerous gulf storms may be
expected. At the wind up of this pc
