KENNEL SECRETARY
COMING TO HONOLULU. D

Secretary A. P. Vredenburgh of the
American Kennel Club of New York
City will attend the initial bench show
OF the Honolulu Kennel Club on Sep
TENDER 6, and s. The official will
leave San Francisco on the Ventura
arriving here the latter part of the
present month and remaining over in
Honolulu until the departure of the
Alameda, during the middle part of
September.
Secretary Norman of the Pacific Ad-
visory Board of the American Kennel
Club, writing from his Headquarters at
Berkeley to the local club. states that
il is rare thing for an official of the
A. K. c. tic attend the initial show of
any club and he expresses the belief
that Honolulu will be fortunate in his
presence.
In this the members of the Honolulu
club agree with Secretary Norman. At
general expression of kindly sentiment
toward the visit of Mr. yredenburgh
and they will do what they can to
make his visit pleasurable.
Secretary Norman wrote to say that
he could furnish the local body with
a superintendent for benching the show
at a certain rate and could also supply
a Judge of classes of dogs. It is prob
able that the judge will be provided
for by the members of the club and his
expenses and fees guaranteed. 1t is
understood by the club that if a judge
is imported for the occasion that there
will be many more entries of dogs than
AT present listed The secretary has
the guarantee of thirty entries, and
at least from twelve to fifteen are in
view, while numbers of persons VINO
are known to have fine breeds of dogs
have so far not been approached on
the subject They will receive call
from the committee within the next
few days.
The fee for entry will be small IN
comparison with those reQuifeu Oh 'it0
Coast No fee for single dog will be
over 81 and when more than one entry
is made by one person the fee is scalel
down. There is also a nominal fee Oh
twenty-five cents which goes to the
American Kennel Club for listing IN the
\. II. C.'s records. When dog IS
awarded a prize under such listing 1t Is
certainly worth much to its owner.
There viii be prizes for all classes OF
dogs, and all dogs, by classes, are en-

Philippine Freedom.

Washington, April 7-Moorefeld
Storey, of Boston, president of the
Anti-imperialist league. appeared be-
fore the house committee on insular
affairs this morning in favor of the
Mccall resolution directing the pres
ident to reach an agreement with the
foreign nations of the world that
they keep their hands eff the Philip
pines, should they be given their in
dependence. Mr.. Storey declared
this was the most favorable time for
pressing the nations to allow the
Philippines to remain undisturbed.
The passage of the resolution did
not mean that F,lipinos are to be
given their independence today, to-
morrow or next year, be said.
Mr.. Gilbert, (Democret) of Ken
lucky, asked if it was not true that
disorder in the islands was prompted
to q great extent by the belief that
the United States would never give
the Filipincs independence.
To him Mr.. Storey replied that
the disorders undoubtedly came from
the peoples desire for freedom, and
that if some promise for indepsnd-
ence was held out, it would have a
great effect in keeping the turbulent
element down.

Great Destruction.

Naples, April 9-Reposts of fatal
tiles consequent upon the eruption of
Mouns Vesuvius are coming in. Ac-
cording TO information received late
tonight probably as many as 500
lives were lost in the district of San
Giuseppe while from the ruins OF q
church which collapsed, owing to the
weight of ashes on the roof, 49 corp.
ses were exsricated and it is asserted
shat at Sorrento, 81 persons were
killed by falling houses. Cavalry
proceeding to the succor OF the in.
habitants of the devastated section
have been unable to make progress,
the rain falling on the ashes foot
deep having made it impossible for
the horses to travel.
The sea is greatly agitsted. The
sky has cleared, but heavy clouds
hang over the east, threatening a
further downpour.
The streams of lava are almost
stationary. Troops are erecting bar
riers in the direction of Pompeii to
prevent further danger in that quar-
ter.
This has been day of terror for
the cities. towns and country about
Mount VesuYius. Unconfrmed re-
ports place the number of dead and
injured at several hundred, but not
many facts can be obtained upon
which to base an accurate estimate.
At midnight the situation appears
more assuring, the lava streams hav-
ing diminished in volume, and in
some directions having stopped al.
together, while copious rainfall is
cooling the lava where it lies station
ary.
The king and queen visited the
afflicted districts. The royal party
was received with the most touching
manifestations Of gratitude, amidst
cheers and weeping, expressions of
thanks, and frantic gesticulations of
Joy. The king forbade the police
and carbineers to keep the people
away from him go that all could sp-
proach him. The women kissed the
kings hand and the queens gown,
exclaiming: ''God sent you to u.s.
One of the women addressing the
king, cried: "If thou art our king,

full. Discussing this matter, Mr..
Lever said today: Il have just been
to zee General White, superintendent
of the railway mail division Ct the
postoffice department, about putting
on a mail agent on the train that
leaves Columbis about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon for Augusta. 1 have
been at work on this matter for come
time and I believe we will be success
full. Frequently the train from the
North that reaches Columbia about
noon is late, and by the time it gets
to Columbia the one for Augusta has
gone. That delays all mail from the
North to points between Columbia
and Augusta until about daylight
next morning. delay Of about
seventeen hours. The placing Of a
mail agent on the afternoon train out
of Columbia for Augusta will be CT
ipcalculsble value to the stations
along the line. A through pouch is
already carried on this train from
Columbia to Augusta, but no mail is
delivered along the route. I hope
We will have it in operation at an
