HONOLULU, March 27.-A bottom
less pit has been found in the noun
tains of Hualalai, back of Kailua. 1t
is about four feet in diameter. This
pit is peculiar from the fact that 1T

force. Pieces of paper placed over

appear with startling rapidity. The
air rushing into the pit can be dis
tinctly felt by people standing on the
edge. There has been no attempt
made thus far to reach the bottom Of
the pit or to determine its character.
Strange sounds are being heard in
Honaunau. Every night the inhabi-
tants of that section distinctly hear a
noise similar to the blowing of a deep
steamship whistle. Nobody has been
able to discover any cause for 1t and
considerable anxiety is felt by the
superstitious. The noise is heard for
about five seconds and then subsidies
for a space OF about ten minutes and
then resumes for another five seconds.

SECRET CONSISTORY
Cardinals Receive Pontiff,
Who Refers to Persecution
of Roman Catholic Church

ROME, March 27-The Pope held a
secret consistory this morning without
creating any Cardinals, merely pre-
conizing Bishops. The only American
was the Right Rev. Thomas F. Hickey,
who was confirmed as Coadjutor
Bishop Of Rochester, n. Y. MonsIgnor
Zobico Racciet was confirmed as aux
lilary Bishop OF Montreal, Quebec.
All the Cardinals met in the hall of
the consistory of the Vatican, where
they received the pontiff The Pope
then delivered an allocution and imrne-
diately afterward proceeded to the pre-
conization of Bishops. The allocution
in moderate terms deplored the perse-
cution from which the church suffered
In some countries and complained of re-
cent events in France, where, besides
the diplomatic rupture between the re-
public and the papacy, the statesmen
are preparing for the separation of
church and state, for which, the pontiff
asserted again, the Vatican was not
responsible, as has been alleged.
The Pope also referred to the perse-
cution of the church in some of the
South American republics, especially
In Nicaragua and Ecuador, citing the
laws passed by the last named repub-
lie against the church providing for the
confiscation Of the property of the re-
ligious orders, interfering with the lib
erty Of the religious associations and
putting obstacles in the way of the ap-
pointment of new Bishops.
To offset this the pontiff mentioned
the fact that the arbitration between
Chile and Peru had been entrusted to
the papal representative, which had
caused the Holy See much satisfaction
Another passage of the allocution
says:
Among other things, it grieves our
souls that the horrors Of war are now
devastating the extreme East with fire,
blood and death. Oh, what tears are
shed there! Those who represent on
earth him who was the author of the
gospel of peace, we ardently beg may
receive from God inspiration to advise
princes and peoples to come to peace.
So many and so great are the evils that
af1iict the human race everywhere that
there is no need to have recourse to war
to make things worse"
The allocution ends with recalling the
recent jubilee of the Immaculate Con-
ception and praying the Virgin to in
tercede for the joys of peace that are
so much desired.
