 About eighty people including number of ladies took part in the banquet. A number of speeches were made by various members of the local aerie and delegates from other sections of the state.
 The speech by Worthy Grand President Davis was loudly applauded by all pres ent. He reviewed the history of the order and in closing paid high tribute to the hospitality of southern people.
 In speaking of the growth of the order in America President Davis said: 'The Fraternai order of Eagles was organized seven years ago at Seattle, Wash, by a group of young men, who felt the neces- sity of a more liberal fraternal organiza- ton than those already in existence.
 At the time they formed the little local band they did not dream that the organ ization within a few years would grow to be one of the strongest fraternal orders in the country. 1t was about year before the originators conceived the idea Of mere general organization.

Rumor of Arrest,

London, December 13.-The correspond ent of the Times at St. Petersburg says a wild story is in circulation there that Gen. Count Alexis Ignatieff has been ar rested by order of the Emperor for plot ting to establish dictatorship. Inquiry at Count Ignatieffs house the corre spondent says, failed to elicit either con- firmatjon or denial of the story.

 Winding Up Business.

Women and children are living in the upper stories of houses, and foreign mer- chants are winding up their business or abandoning everything in order to escape.
 It is doubtful whether the promise of local self-government contained in today s imperial ulxase will have much effect, at least for the present, but it furnishes am pie proof that the government realizes it is helpless to restore order without grant ing heavy concessions. The partial con- , sessions granted to the people of the Bal tic provinces are bound to encourage the Poles, Georgians and other border peo- pies.
 Little is known of General Sollpgub, who, it is reported, will be appointed gov ernor general of the Baltic provinces, but he is said to be a man of energy with fairly liberal ideas.
 The bourse again weakened on reports of commercial failures everywhere in the provinces, and also in sympathy with the extreme panicky condition of the Moscow exchange. Runs on the savings banks con tnue. The Almary, a private bank, capi- talized at $25O,0 900, has closed it's doors, be- ing the first bank failure in St. ePters- burg
  lie opinion, opened two additional win dows to accommodate the frightened hold CTS of paper who desired to exchange 1t for gold.
 The League of Leagues has issued an address declaring that the recent acts Of the government proved it was attempting to suppress the emancipation movements and demonstrated that political freedom could only be obtained by an armed struggle in which all the progressive ele- , ments were invited to join. The Nasha Shizn claims to be in possession of in- formation to the effect at conference of grand dukes and court officials held at Tsarskoe-Selo, it was decided that Count Witte had proved failure and that the time had arrived for the adoption of firm measures which could be employed with less opposition under a man like Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky, former minister of the interior. The paper declares that a further conference will be held tomor- row, at which Count Witte will not be present.
 It is reported that Prince John Obolen- sky, former governor general of Finland. will succeed M. Durnovo as secretary Of the interior.

Constituent Assembly.

The League of Leagues, now termed the invisible government" has elaborated a project for a constituent assembly or 96S members elected from districts or l40.- GOO inhabitants which on it's convocation shall assume entire sovereignty, execu- tive, and judicial.
 The news drifting from the interior shows that violence is decreasing, but the foment is unabated. Every class of society is organizing parties and elaborating po- litical programmes. In some places the landlords threaten that unless the gov ernment suppresses the agrarian disorders they will refuse to pay taxes or interest 10 the nobility or banks for loans, etc.. and will take the law into their own hands, organizing guards to protect their property, and if necessary to make re- nrisals by burning the peasants villages
 On the other hand meeting of 6coo workmen has been held in Moscow at which it is stated soldiers were present

 Although Kilauea. down on the mountain side. is more given to vio- lent eruption than Mokuaveoweo. the crater in the summit, there have been magnificent displays on Mama Loa s very top. and very recent ones. In 1896 fires were seen blaring where us ualIy the cold snows lie. and two expe- di,ions hastened to get close view of the spectacle of Mokuaveoveo in ae- tion.

 The fear is not for the lava flows comparatively common. but that tht pressure may increase and the upper Mauna Loa be rent by frightful ex plosion that would affect the whole is land, with its population of almost 50. o00 people. Let us trust there be nt repetition of the St. Pierre disaster.

The in. itiated laugh when We tell them we thought, back there in the States, that the hostelry would be way up at the summit: that going to the vol cano" would. of course, mean ascend ing Mauna Loa. Hadn't the geographies told us Hawaii contained the largest active volcano in the world, and hadn't the geographies spoken of Mauna Loa as an active volcano on the island of Hawaii, soutaernmost of the group of islands? Kilauea we thought of as a distinct volcano. something quite apart from Maups Loa.
 We found, when we reached the bit of tableland, 1000 feet up Mauna Loa. that Kilauea was right before us, the great deep cistern of place that, few rods ip front of the inn, dropped down hundreds of feet The cistern's sides were from 300 to 400 feet deep. it's rim about eight miles around We went down into it's deepness and dark ness and mysteries. A more eerie place could not be imagined. We left a smiling, green-clad earth for what presently became the bottomless pit.
 A steep. rough descent brought us to the floor of the crater cistern. a floor of old lava, walking on which was like walking on broken states. sharp. irregular, gritty, black-gray surface A sea of this stretched before us, de- pressing, sinister, ugly. Here and there steam rose from the scoria. coming from cracks that reached down to the heart of things. The sky oil to the far point towards which our faces were set reflected dancing flames. As
