kOHALA TURNING OUT
To SEE THE VOLCANO
Especial Correspondence.)

KOHALA, January II. - There is
much excitement over the volcano out
burst here and great efforts have been
made to secure a steamer to take local
residents to the scene.
This evening news came that the No
eau would call in here and take pas
sengers tonight, down the coast. re-
turning some time Saturday, with the
result that some twenty-five or thirty
people are hustling to get ready.
have Just heard that your specia
correspondent, Mr. Stacker, and Judge
Edings, after chartering the Puakc
Plantation Co.'S launch, have been
compelled to put back, part of the way,
owing to rough weather. My inform
ant states that they have started over
land on mules.
From the same source l learn that
there are over 100 people on the ground
and that wall of lava some fifteen to
twenty feet high crosses the Govern
ment road on Kahuku ranch. Mr.. and
Mrs. Robt. Hind and Mrs. Jas Hind
left Waimea on Sunday afternoon IN
Vredenburgs automobile and return
ed yesterday, reporting magnificent
sights and some exciting scenes.
The writer left Kohala for Waimea
on Friday, returning Tuesday satur-
day at 2:15 a. m. very fine display
was visible from there, and Sunday
saw Waimea enveloped in smoke. The
same night the view was much OBJ
scured, but towards 4:3o 1t doomed up
very brilliantly. There were three par
ties waiting to leave for the scene OF
the outbreak when / left / hear that
the Kahuku flow Is somewhere about
100 miles from Waimea.
The glow Is visible from kohala on
clear nights and the smoke has even
reached us.
Much feeling Is being expressed here
at the school agent not having de-
clared days holiday in order to give
the schoolmarms the opportunity OF
yoyaging to the outbreak, the idea be-
ing that much useful information may
be gained and impaired to the juvenile
mind thereby.

Upon some of the unpleasant fea-
lures of that sojourn Miss Krout did
not touch at all. Diminishing others with
cursory mention and the statement
that he, later, realized that he had
made some bad errors of judgment
which he was great and just enough
acknowledge when he came the sec
ond time. His literary work was then
reviewed; his stories of adventure she
thought were characterized by what
she called "a certain bloodiness," a
strange trait in a nature which, in
reality, was so gentle and so sympa-
thetic. Four distinct examples of his
style were contrasted: 1.-THE Travels"
'Ebb Tide" 1.-THE Master of Ballan-
trae" and the poems-those written for
children beine noted especially for
their exquisite tenderness and simplic-
ity, as compared to the wickedness and
cruelty of such characters as Hush
and Silver. Several examples of his
poetry were given, one indicating the
inconsistencies that he must have felt
for his native land in the island where
his last days were spent and which,
nevertheless. he grew to love.
A brief mention was made of his
life at "Vailima," his death and burial
place. In the course of her remarks,
Miss Krout very highly commended
the book recently published by Mr..
Arthur tombstone of Honolulu, who,
she said, had rendered literature most
valuable service in gathering up facts
and incidents in Stevensons life which.
otherwise would have been lost.

arrest of two more boys, one of whom
owned up to having stolen a watch
from one Japanese hotel and selling it
in another for SLIPS. Both boys and
the Japanese who had received the
stolen goods were locked up.
In the meanwhile an investigation
had been going on concerning the rob-
berry of Yam Lees store in Kakaako,
in which a number of Hawaiian coins
had been secured A Kalakaua dollar
had been changed at store in Pauoa
and this was traced back to Kalanui,
boy employed at the Honolulu Iron
Works. Kalanui confessed and nam
ed his accomplice, Palau Akaka, who
was located and who dug up ten quar-
tiers and a fifty-cent piece from a hole
in his yard. Kalanui handed over the
rest of the missing coin to Taylor.
Yesterdays investigation into the
record of the Freitas gang shows that
they have been Systematically looting
from Wall, Nichols; E. w. Jordan and
l.. b. Kerrs, a raft of miscellaneous
stuff being recovered. These boys are
tumbling over each other now to tell
all they know, one of the latest ad-
missions being that OF an attempted
burglary on Alakea street last week,
the gang being frightened away after
one of them had smashed the lock of
the door with a rock. The boys had
a full outfit of door keys in their pos
session.
1t is thought that with the rounding
up of all these youthful offenders the
long series of petty robberies around
the town will cease. 1t is probable that
more arrests will be made this week
as the police have a list of other boys
under suspicion, against some of whom
more or less evidence has been secured.

SPENCER ON STAND
Southern Official GuesSes as.
TO Cost of Trains.
EVIDENCE NOT ADMITTED
Vice President Cannot Give Esti-
mate of Expense of Operating the
COncerned-NOrth Carolina Official
Not Satisfied with Result.

The second day of the adjourned
hearing in the North Carolina railroad
rate-law case was unproductive of any
thing important
n. B. Spencer, first vice president Of
the Southern, was on the stand again.
He was questioned by z. J. Justice,
speaker of the North Carolina house Of
representatives. The questions yesterday
morning were directed toward establish
ing the cost Of operating a train between
stations IN North Carolina. Mr.. Spencer
said he could give the actual average
cost Of operating trains on the general
system Of the railroad. but as between
station points he could only guess.
General Counsel Thorn, of the Southern.
objected to his guessing, and Special Mas
ter Montgomery. who is conducting the
hearing, sustained the objection.
Mcneil Not Satisfied.
The testimony taken by the examining
board in New York relative 10 the case
was neither convincing nor satisfactory, 3"
said Franklin Mcneil. OF Raleigh. y. c..
last night.
Mr. Mcneil Is the chief Of the corpora
ton commission OF North Carolina. and
is member Of the examining board
which is hearing the injunction proceed
iags OF the Southern Railway against
North Carolina in reference TO the rate
law.
THE witnesses who have appeared be-
fore us thus far seemed not to be At all
familiar with the conditions Of the rail-
road "a the State. and many of them
have never been In the State. Their tes-
tim0ny. for this reason. was inconclusive
and inexact
80 far as we have been able to gather
no definite account Of expense has been
kept and the answers 70 our questions
along this line have not been what We
desired.
Most Of the witnesses agree. however,
that the cost TO the company is 90 cents
for every dollar earned by the road
Indicate Good Profit.
This seems TO indicate a profit OF 10
per cent on their investments. which is
not an exorbitant rate of interest. But
this is not d fair estimate. in my opinion.
and I do not believe that the roads
would suffer with a 214-cent rate.
The law provides that roads OF less
than sixty miles, and roads built within
a year preceding January I, 1891 should
be exempt. The people of the State seem
to believe that with the stated rate the
increase in traffic will make UP for the
reduction
IF the railroad commission were given
discretionary power 10 fix the rate, or
a scale of rates. to suit different locali-
ties, it might work out better. All States
now have such commissions but Ohio
and North Carolina, and I do not doubt
but that in time we shall have such
commission.
we viii continue the hearing here for
several days. We have as yet examined
but one witness, and II will take some
time to complete the hearing"

was evidenced by the tremendous out
pouring OF music lovers, the house being
packed in every available quarter, while
the demonstrations of approval we're so
continued and hearty as TO act as a slim
illus on the performers, for the company
furnished what was probably the most
interesting performance of the season.
All the singers were In excellent voice.
The end Of each act was marked by the
display OF profuslon OF flowers. Mss
Wentworth and Miss Bradford were the
recipients Of the greatest number of floral
tributes, the great punches Of roses pre-
sented 10 each yyiug with each other In
size and beauty.
When the curtain fell upon the last
scene the applause was tremendous. and
when 1t rose again the entire company
was revealed upon the stage. After re-
peated calls, Miss Wentworth produced
Mr.. Aborn from behind the scenes, and
he made a felicitOus speech, extOlling the
efforts of the company, giving thanks for
the patronage OF the public, promising a
renewal of light opera In the early
spring, and lastly. paying a just and
glowing tribute to Max Fichandler. the
musical conductor, whose labor has been
largely responsible for the superior work
of both chorus and principals
Two Actresses Appiauded.
Upon mention OF Miss Wentworth the
great demonstration was sufficient proof
of the popularity which she has attained
in this city, and when Miss Bradford was
brought to the fore the bounds of ordi-
nary enthusiasm seemed 10 be exceeded.
and she, too, received a great ovation.
Her work as the gypsy IN III Trovatore"
has certainly proclaimed her as an artist
of the highest order, both from vocal
and a dramatic point of view.
At the close the entire company and au-
dience. accompanied by the orchestra.
Joined in singing Aud Lang Syne"
The constantly increasing attendance at
these operate events and the ever-gTow-
ing commentator OF the public Is the
best argument that can be offered as to
their success. A fine list of productions
have been offered and superior talent en-
ployed in the rendition Of them.
A remarkable and perhaps Ominous hap
penlng was the smashing OF the elaborate
glass sign which has been used in front
OF the theIter. II was JOstied sver by the
crowd and lay in fragments on the spot
where it has stood throughout the en-
gagement
Such a happening al the beginning of
the season might have haG a bad effect on
those inclined to be su9arstitious. but.
coming as II did, II seemed symbolic.
