NANCIAL COMMITTEE - ALL
COMMITTEES TO BE NAMED

WASHINGTON, Dec. An the

nounCed the appointment Of a COM
mittee on banking and currency, and
in doing so stated that he had ex-
ceeded by one member the number
permitted by the rules of the house,
and asked unanimous consent to his
action, which was granted.
The main consideration in view
by Speaker Cannon in appointing
the committee on banking and cur
cy before naming any other COM
mittees was to create a receptacle
for an inpouring stream of letters
from all parts of the country to
members of congress urging imme-
date legislation on finance. While
the naming of the banking commit
tee on the second day of the session
does not necessarily mean that any
legislation will be accomplished this
month, the speaker prepared prompt
ly for legislation in its initial
stages by naming the committee to
which all financial matters must be
referred before they can come up for
discussion and action on the floor of
the house, 1t is now believed that
all the committees will be filled
within the next 10 days.

OMAHA, Dec. 4.-Traveling men
of Omaha will secure the largest

wholesale merchandising for deliv-

a score of the dealers whose great
est worry will be to secure the
goods, but who have determined to
meet the demands, regardless of eff

Increases in spring orders run
from 20 to 100 per cent, and smaller
dealers are among those who are or
dering the heaviest, and those whose
credit has been limited are offering
to make a better showing or pay
| cash and take advantage OF dis
counts on delivery.
Among the wholesale dry goods,
hat and cap and millinery houses
the orders are especially heavy. The
firms which vouch for big increases
are M. F. Smith &, Co, wholesale
dry goods and extensive manufac-
turers of clothing; Byrne & Ham

t recently established a large branch
house at Salt Lake City; Spiesber-
ger & Sons, wholesale millinery;

to the point of the island, while facing
the west
Now, just twenty years later, has
come this third eruption from the same
volcanic center of Kahuku. Like its
predecessor, it was ushered in by few
hours of moderate earth-tremors. The
seat of the outbreak has not at the
present writing been precisely defined,
but is evidently little higher than
the last one, and a little north Of 1t.
While the amount of lava emitted may
be even greater, it has divided into
two separate streams, neither of which
has reached the sea.
Hundreds of visitors have focked by
land to the wonderful spectacle from
the northern districts of the island,
some of them driving or riding nearly
one hundred miles. Others have come
by steamers from Hilo. On the 10Th
party of $50 excursionists left Homo
lulu on two boats. They returned IN
48 hours, having experienced calm and
bright weather, and spent many hours
on shore They visited the foot OF
the slowly advancing lava mass four
miles inland. It seemed to be about
one-fourth mile wide, and creeping for
ward about fifty feet in an hour. Its
front presented huge mound OF the
rugged clinkers. These sluggishly
moved forward, tumbhng over each 9th
er, while beneath and among them
would occasionally protrude tongue
of the flaming molten lava which was
bearing along the mass. The movement
| was attended by roaring clatter, as
of rolling mass of dry bones. This
exhibition would seem to have been a
dying effort of the stream, whose ac-
tivity, at least at the front, seems to
have ceased two days later, according
to last reports.

The Friend: The past year has been
signalized by unusual disturbances OF
the crest of our globe. Vesuvius has
been in magnificent eruption. The two
chief Pacific seaports of North and
South America, San Francisco and Val
paraiso, have been successfully de-
stroyed by earthquakes. In the Carib-
bean sea, Kingston, in Jamaica, has
Just experienced a similar disaster. And
now, almost simultaneously with Jamal-
ca, but without any disaster, Hawaii,
it's equal island in Midpacific, has
broken out into sudden and splendid
eruption.
AT midnight opening the 10th OF
January, the people OF the town OF
Hilo, on the east side of the island,
were called out to gaze at marvellous
glow shining on the sky over Mauna
Loa, our chief volcano. That glare was
not, however, from the great crater OF
Mokuaweoweo, forty miles away. Ii
shone from a vast fre-fountain which
had suddenly gushed forth at kahuku,
more than twenty miles beyond.
This Kahuku outbreak, unlike its ter
rible predecessor of 1868, was attended
only by few hours of moderate earth
shakings That former eruption was
preceded by many weeks of terrific con-
vulsions. The long-sealed vent OF the
Kahuku volcano could be opened only
by the most violent rendings. just be-
fore the final agony, weak spot IN the
side of Mauna Loa opened at Kapapala
and flung out a huge river OF muo
which destroyed scores OF the native
people. At the same moment vast
tidal wave destroyed the villages OF
Honuapo and Punaluu on the Kau shore
By that and the previous earthquakes
every stone house and wall in the dis
trict of Kau was leveled to the ground
Finally on the western mountain-slde
vent burst open and emitted three
immense fountains of lava, in size like
cathedrals. For several days broae
stream of lava ran for six miles into
the sea.
In January, 1887, another eruption

the summit of Kahuku. The latter Is
$500 feet high, and more than ten miles
from the sea, much larger mountain
than that of West Maui, back of La
haina. Kahuku mountain is common
ly mistaken for Mauna Loa itself by
observers from its sea-front.
Now this immense mountain mass OF
Kabuku has been for ages piling up
by local eruptions, just as Hualalai has
done, and deserves to be reckoned as
an independent volcano.
4. The immense southern extension
of Hawaii island to the south cape,
has been derived from lava-flows from
this Kahuku center, twenty miles
north, and not from Mokuaweoweo,
forty miles away. The jurisdiction of
the latter falls far short of the South
Cape, whose parentage is entirely from
the flows of Kahuku volcano.
S. A powerful reason for this conten-
ton is the existence of the great Mo-
hokea volcano. long quiescent. only ten
miles east of Pun Keokeo, and exactly
twenty miles south of Mokuaweoweo
Mohokea is one of the largest calderas
on the globe. It is five miles in dia-
meter, having three times the area OF
Mokuaweoweo, and twice that of Hale
akala. But what confers upon Mohokea
| its chief distinction is the fact that II
has been the seat of one of the great
est explosive eruptions ever known. A
a very recent period, probably not
!, much over one thousand years ago, Il
threw out an enormous column of vel
low "ashes," which covered over one
hundred and fifty square miles of the
surrounding country with a layer o.
ashes more than ten feet deep, beside!
extending far over the ocean.
The close vicinity Of the active Ka'
huku to the quiescent Mohokea entities
it to be regarded as equally lndepend-
emit of Mauna Loa volcano, although
like Kilauea, sympathetic with theil
central parent. 5. Z. b.

before they break. A bunch of the
spongy red-hot clinkers is gathered UP
on the surface of the flowing lava, roll
ed over and over. and coated on the
outside with a shell of rock of a few
inches thick. Inside of the egg-shell
is the spongy bunch of meat. In a
short time the rolling bomb breaks
open, anu the red-hot contents fall
apart. The writer has seen a few OF
these bombs. perhaps ten feet long,
which had survived on the very front
of a cooled flow. In 1887, the eminent

the two great calderas, or "craters OF
