A few notes from the guide book:
There are eight Inhabited islands in
the Hawaiian group. and three that
are uninhabited. The ssiands are
of volcanic formation, and each has
one or more extinct craters; on one
of the islands there are two living
craters. The extreme range OF tenn
perature is from SIS to SO degrees. the
average being about 10. me average
yearly rainfall at Honolulu for the
past twenty-seven years has been
27 inches. The physical aspect of the
country is that of a huge volcanic
mass, the result of many and con-
tinued eruptions weathered down by
the storms of centuries. One noun
tain is Il, 600 feet high. The island
on which Honolulu is located has a
railroad. II miles long. Sugar is the
principal product OF the islands,
though there are pineapple canneries,
rice plantations, sisal plantations.
stock ranches. etc. Coffee is also
grown on the islands. Z. W. H.

The Pacific Mail ships have con-
tract to stop at the Hawaiian Islands,
on their eastward and westward pass
ages. The Korea" lately carried
the Taft party from Japan and the
siberia carried the president s
daughter. so neither stopped at Homo
lulu. The reformers are mad, and
have sent a protest to Washington.
But you know how much attention it
will attract.

In the afternoon we all went bathing
at a noted beach four miles from the
city, reached by fine and rapid electric
cars. On the way to the beach. we
passed dozens of duck farms, owned
and managed by Chinese. These farms
are operated on low, marshy places. and
are profitable. Chickens are raised in
Honolulu, but they are subject to dis
ease: they do not look as healthy as
Kansas chickens. Eggs are worth fifty
cents a dozen the year round

PEACE INTERVIEWS IDENTICAL
President and German Emperor Agreed
Over Methods Necessary.

BERLIN, June S.-The interviews Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, the German ambassa-
dor at Washington, has had with President
Roosevelt. and the cable correspondence
between the amba ssador and the foreign
office here, has resulted in the President
and the emperor finding that they had
identical views in regard to peace, and
were nearly of the same opinion as to the
method of drawing Russia and Japan into
negotiations.
The joint view appeared to be that
others, including France and Great Britain
ought to be left out because 80 be sure of
a community of views among all would be
a slow and cumbersome business and
would impress Russia taking on the
character OF outside pressure. This is pre-

William wish to avoid. They wanted the
Emperor of Russia to take the initiative,

MAJEsTIC's STORMY VOYAGE.
Engines Stopped to Ease Pitching of
Vessel-Noted Arrivals.

NEW YORK, June s.-Iieut. Col E. Ager.
Royal Engineers, arrived here today on the
steamer Majestic on his way to Manchuria
to join the British army representatives
with the Japanese force in the field.
The Earl of Caithness also was a passen-
ger on the Majestic.
For two hours last Saturday the Ma
jestic's engines were at rest and the big
ship lay as quietly as the turbulent seas
would permit while the ship surgeon labor
ed to save the life of Arthur Campbell, a
second cabin steward. Campbell had in
jured himself so severely during a violent
attack of seasickness that the surgeon had
decided that a delicate surgical operation
must be performed at once.
To obviate as much as possible the toss
ing and pitching of the steamer in the high
seas her engines were stopped during the
time required to perform the operation.
Campbell was said to be on the road to re-
covery when the steamer arrived today.
The Majestic had a stormy passage all
the way across the Atlantic.

Unexpected Arrival of Minister Rus
sull on the Columbia.

Mr.. w. w. Russell the retiring minister
to Colombia, and who is to succeed Mr..

this city tomorrow to give testimony before
Secretary Taft in regard to the controversy
between Assistant Secretary Loomis and
Mr.. Bowen regarding the alleged relations

close of the administration of Mr.. Loomis
and a the beginning of the administration
of Mr.. Bowen and is conversant with some
of the matters involved in the dispute be-
tween the two gentlemen named.
1t is understood that Mr.. Russell was
summoned to this city on his way from
Cartagena to Caracas at the instance of
Mr. Bowen and the latter who has been
visiting his home for several days past, has
been instructed by telegraph to be in this
city tomorrow and report to Secretary Taft
at the War Department He and Mr..
Loomis will be present at the examination
of Mr.. Russell
A telegram was received at the Navy De-
partment this morning announcing the ar
rival at Hampton Roads this morning of
the United States cruiser Columbia with
Minister Russell on board and saying that
he would leave for Washington at once. The
arrival CT Mr.. Russell was somewhat un-
expected inasmuch as it was stated at the
Navy Department yesterday afternoon that
to bring him home, was then at that port.
1t has since developed that the officials of
the Navy Department were misled by the
dispatch from Capt Miller, commanding
the Columbia Instead of saying that he
would leave Cartegena yesterday, Capt.
Miller under date of the Sd instant said
that he would sail that day for Hampton
Roads.

matter of the Loomis-Bowen controversy
Minister Russell will receive from Presi-
dent Roosevelt special instructions regard
ing the conduct of negotiations with the
Venezuelan government in the future. Min

States and Germany were seeking, so that
Ambassador Meyers audience with En-
peror Nicholas was prepared for in the
fullest manner.
The understanding here is that Emperor
Nicholas went so far as to say to Ambas
Sador Meyer that he would like to know
what Japan's terms would be- This in
quiry was not to be construed as asking
for peace but only as telling friends that
before taking so grave a step on their adj
vice the Russian government might properly
and naturally desire to know through those
of the friends how Japan regarded peace.
Japan. it is believed in government quar-
ters here. will be reluctant to lay down
specific peace conditions, far more re-
luctant than at any stage of the war, be-
cause preparation has been made to carry
the campaign to Russian territory, take
Vladivostok and Harbfn, and then exclude
Russia from the Pacific, unless her high
conditions are complied with This is a
crude expression of what is thought to be
Japan's immediate polly.
