HURRICANE
Miss Henry Gives Vivid
Details-.-A Mormon
Prophecy.

Below is a graphic account of the Ia
hiti disaster consisting of extracts from
private letter, written by Miss Teuira
Henry, lady well known in Honolulu,
now residing in Tahiti The letter is
dated May "a, 1906:
You will doubtless have heard of
the terrible cyclone that we have had
here.
cit began at the Paumotus on the
9th February, and passed through those
islands, destroying everything in it's
way, until the 7th, arriving here in the
night, but was scattered, fortunately
for US, on the sth by strong southerly
wind, which saved Papeete from utter
destruction. All along the waterfront
the town is in ruins. and the beautiful
street by the sea was broken up by the
storm waves, so that the greater part
of it is impossible for carriages
'The postotfice and the American
consulate were carried away by the sea,
anu tHc dI StiIfti OuG on DOiut,
to the left of the bay, is entirely de-
stroyed. But only one life was lost
here in the disaster, that of the keeper
of the quarantine station, out on the
little islet of Motuuta facing Papeete,
who was a good swimmer, but was
caught in coeoanut tree as it fell into
the sea which swept over the island.
"He was a Frenchman, married to a
native woman, who was rescued by a F,
sailor from off floating log. Both of |
them might have been saved if people
had gone out for them soon enough. |
Their own boat had drifted away be- !
fore they noticed that it was gone.

AZORES PROJECT SAVED.

The immigration Committee made
several changes in the bill, taking the
enacting clause of the Dillingham; bill
as the basis, because, for parliamentary
measure into conference, after ths
House has passed it. But the Com
mittee has also agreed to change the
prohibitory clause about aiding immi-
grants so that it will prohibit for
eign governments. That is regard ded
as entirely satisfactory to Hawaii, as a
territorial government is not foreign
government and the language will not
interfere with the Azores project.
The bill with those two changes, de-
sired for Hawaii, has been agreed to in
probably be out some time today. The
attitude of the House Committee gen
orally is very gratifying to those who
are interested in Hawaiian affairs and
apparently there is no danger of those
two particular clauses being modified
in the House. Some work has already
been done in the Senate against the
time when the bill gets into conference,
Judge Hatch, as well as Delegate
Kaianianaole and Mr.. Mcclellan, both
of whom have been cooperating to their
utmost to have the legislation shaped
up in acceptable form, have talked
with Senator'S Dillingham; and Lodge,
both of whom are members of the Sen
ate immigration Committee, and with
Senator Foraker and other good
friends OF the Islands. They see no
objection to the clauses accepted by
the House Committee. Probably Sena-

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-THE
great fight of the last ten days, from
the Hawaiian standpoint of interest,
has been over the immigration bill. 1t
has resulted in a situation fairly salts
factory to the Islands. The only ques-
tion now is whether the bill can be
kept in the desirable shape it has been
agreed to by the House immigration
Committed
There have been two matters, over
working. Cne was TO have provision
in the educational test, excepting Ha-
waii and, incidentally, the Philippines
and Porto Rico, if that was desired.
The other was TO have changed a pro-
vision which prohibits governments
from aiding immigrants in any particu-
Tar. The first matter had been pretty
well settled, as far as the House Immi-
grafton Committee ia concerned. when
i wrote my last letter. Representative
Gardner, of Massachusetts,, who has the
House bill in charge, agreed to make an
exception in favor of Hawaii with ref
erenee to the educational test and the
bill had been redrawn in committee to
conform to Judge Hatch IS request.
There is a good deal of support be-
hind that provision. 1t will not pro-
hibit japanese, for instance, from COM
ing into Hawaii, when they can not
read, but it viii prevent them going
from Hawaii to the mainland, if they
can not read. That phase Of the situa-
tion is, of course, entirely satisfactory
to Hawaiian interests, but especially
to the Californians, who are being
strenuously urged to bar the japanese

PASSES OFF
A Notable Public Man
Who Helped Make
History.

John Z. Bush died at f:30 o'clock
| last evening after an illness lasting
| about a week. He was born where the
| the Library now stands, at Hotel and
| Alakea streets, Feb. Is, 1912, hence
| was in his Goth year. The immediate
| cause of death was congestion of the
brain and partial paralysis of the left
side. He was in comatose condition
yesterday and died without recovering
consciousness. The funeral will be
from the house, Hotel, near Punchbowl
street, at 3 O'Clock this afternoon, in
terment in Makiki cemetery. Elder
Williams, of the Seventh Day Advent
lists, will conduct the services. Rev. H.
H Parker, Of Kawaiahao church, may
deliver an address in Hawaiian.
Mr.. Bush was married twice. His
first wife, deceased, was Mary Ann
Peters, by whom he had several chill
dren, four of whom are yet living. In
1884 he married Mary Julia Glenney,
Rev. Henry Parker performing the cere-
mony. She accompanied Mr.. Bush to
and from Samoa in 1887. By his last
marriage the following children sur
vive: Mrs. Otto Berndt, Miss Kuiia K
Bush, John E. Bush, Jr., AdeIine K

from Maui on the steamer Claudine.
She had gone to Maui as court reporter

fore she went away Mr.. Bush was APP
parently in fair health, although he
had been somewhat feeble for the past
year. He had insisted on doing work
about the grounds of his premises on
Hotel street and in this probably hast
ened on the maiady. He was attended
by DR.. Augur.
Mr.. Bush s death removes a Hawaiian
from the community who has played
an important part in its affairs through
the reign of King Kalakaua and Queen
Liliuokalani, the Republic of Hawaii
and the Territorial form of government
In his early days he was whaler sea
man. He also learned the printing
trade and was once foreman of the Ha-
waiian Gazette office. During the reign
of Kalakaua, Mr.. Bush sprung into
prominence as a minister of two or
three cabinets during which time he
was an advocate of the immigration of
Portuguese as laborers on the sugar
estates, and was active in the cause of |
extending the authority of the King |
and the extension of the realm of the |
Hawaiian monarchy. Z

Mr.. Bush has not held public office save
that of Hawaiian interpreter in the Cir

HIS PUBLIC CAREER.

John f. Bush first became minister
Of the cabinet of King Kalakaua on
August ID, 1880, as Minister of the In
terror in the Moreno cabinet. On Aug
ust 10 he was appointed Minister of
Foreign Affairs, ad interim. Under the
premiership of Gibson he was appointed
Minister of Finance, May 20, 1882 and
Minister Of the Interior. August s, 1882.
During the regime of Bush as Min
lister of the Interior Portuguese were
obtained from the Azores and Madeira
to work in the canefields OF Hawaii.
Mr.. Bush was an early advocate of Ia
hor of this character and in his selec-
ton OF Portuguese he was wise.
MIR. Bush was active in politics al
most up to the time of his death. In
1892 he was exceedingly active and
made many speeches, just prior to the
overthrow of the monarchy in 1893, and
was at one time arrested for criminal
libel, these cases attracting much pub
lie attention.
Under the Territorial form of govern
nent Mr.. Bush was a. Home Ruler at
first. and afterwards a Democrat. Lat
er he became a Republican. In his
later years he was Hawaiian interpre-
ter in the FIRST Circuit courts
THE SAMOAN MISSION.
Probably one of the most interesting
incidents in the career of Mr.. Bush was
his mission to Samoa in behalf of King
K KaIakaua to establish the Hawaiian
kings Primacy of the Pacific by es-
tablishing his authority over Samoa.
MIR. Bush was designated on that occa-
sion as an ambassador. on December

TRIANGULAR
OCEAN LINE
Discussed by Promotion
Committee---Tourist
Prospects.

A triangular steamship service from
san Francisco to San Pedro to Homo
lulu and back again to San Francisco
is the proposition watch the Hawaii
Promotion Committees will lay before
the Oceanic Steamship Company, in the
form of a suggestion for the increase
Of tourist business between the Coast
and the Hawaiian Islands
This was one of the principal items
Of discussion at yesterdays meeting of
the Promotion Committee, and seemed
to be favored by all present. At the
suggestion of Mr.. Smith the Secretary
was instructed to lay the matter imme-
diately before the steamship officials.
The discussion arose over state
ment from George w. R. King, recently
returned from Southern California, who
told Chairman McCandless that Miss
Whitlock, the Committee IS representa-
tive in Southern California, was doing
a lot of work for Hawaii. She stated
to Mr.. King that she could send fifty
tourists every once in while to Homo
lulu from San Pedro direct, if there
was steamer available from the
Southern California port.
Chairman McCandless thought it
would be benefit to Southern Califor-
MIA and Honolulu if three-eornered
steamship route were established on a
San Francisco San Pedro-Honolulu run,
taking in the Alameda, and possibly the
Mariposa, which is now on the TaEiti
run.
The sentiment of the Committee was
that the Oceanic company would no
doubt prove loyal to San Francisco
Mr.. Smith suggested it would be wise
TO present the matter to the Oceanic
from this end OF the line, and
point out what would seem to be an ad-
vantage to the company.
Mr.. Spalding suggested that what
Of the disaster which has
befallen San Francisco and show that
the new triangular plan is not proposed
to take away business from San Fran
cisco, but to assist the company and
California to maintain its ocean busi-
ness. It was stated at the meeting that
1t present people were not making San
Francisco their headquarters owing to
its lack of hotel accommodations
Mr.. Smith said that if Honolulu did
not get its full quota of tourists this
coming season it would be because of
San Francisco's circumstances The
Committee thought that the triangular
plan meant Independent business.
