Spirit of Extreme Dcspondency Sweeps
 Over Sentiment.

New York Feb 25,-The action of the stock market to-day gave full warrant for the assumption that a spirit of OK treme despondency had swept over the sentiment of the operators. The sell ing was constant, and the demand was so small as to be a negligible quantity except as the concession in the price level uncovered some buying This demand was not aggressive in charac- ter, and interposed no effective obsta- cle to the continuous droop of prices. The progress of the testimony of E. H. Hartman before the interstate com merce commission was the subject of universal discussion, and the weakness of stocks was generally attributed to this cause. This ground of reasoning did not take first account of the sub stance of this testimony, which pre- scented few facts whieil have not been thoroughly canvassed, and fully known for an indefinite period in the financial district
 The speculative view taken of the occurrence was that it was to mark a | NluESDIEiu DuUilt lEcillHGltpil pi LiiN nature of the transactions under inves | tigation, and to offer material for some such disturbance of the public mind and agitation of the public indignation as grew out of the legislative investi- gation of the life insurance companies. Wall street sees In this prospect a supp Iply Of fresh fuel for the anger against at nh is active in shaping legislative meas ures and in directing public policy all over the country.
 The fear has gained ground in finan- cial opinion that the stability of the country's prosperity or the averting of looming industrial and financial depres-. sion is to be influenced, perhaps de- cided, by the course of public senti- lment on these lines. The concert of Encouragement in published utterances among several prominent men in the railroad and financial world last week was digested apparently over the holi- | day and became effective in promoting large dealings in to-day's stock mar ket New York again refrained from bidding for weekly arrivals of South African gold in London, and the Bank of England secured all supplies at a price lower than last week, Money rates here, nevertheless, are inclined to work higher.
 A survey of the days net losses shows a severe impairment of values, and prices in some important stocks at the lowest of the year. The notable sufferers still were stocks about which clung suggestione of further financing. Reading, Baltimore and Ohio, and Lou isville and Nashville were affected by such rumors. The western and north western railroad stocks generally came within the special effects of the feel ing growing out of the Hartman tes-
 timony.

The extreme weakness of Reading right from the opening, with some blocks of stock aggregating 5000 to 5000 shares, attracted much attention. The most plausible explanation is that a traders pool, which probably aggre- gated at one time 100000 shares, was li- quidating the remainder of its holdings which it had been unable to persuade the public to buy higher up.

WHERE A KAHUNA DID
NOT CURE THE PATIENT

A little three star brandy in moderate
doses is the sure cure for consumption
recommended by Joel Kahinu, who was
on trial yesterday for practising medi-
cine without a license. This prescrip-
ton was given with the promise of
immediate improvement in the patient
and a complete cure in three days. Lat
err, after the three days had gone past
and the patient fingered, the kahuna
admitted that possibly after all he
should have prescribed gin.
Such was the testimony of Mapopo
keawepoo, whose little boy had been
treated by Kahinu and who failed to
outlive the treatment. With each dose
of the brandy, she said, Kahinu would
offer up prayer, to whom the witness
did not say. She admitted, however,
that she had not paid anything for the
treatment nor had promised to pay
anything, and Judge Whitney dis
missed the case.
For part of the time yesterday the
bench was occupied by Judge Derby,

nese interpreter for the court, who was
under preliminary trial for perjury.
The charge arose out Of a rough house

the offense, in which testimony the
alleged perjury occurred.

jury. His bonds were fixed at $780,

A GREAT STORM
ON THIS ISLAND

Extremely heavy rain fell In the
north and west of this island between
midnight and daylight yesterday morn
ing. Washouts We're caused on the
Oahu railway which delayed the morn
ing train from Kahuku about six
hours.
Near Pearl City there was cloud
burst as result of which landslide
stalled trains on the Wahiawa branch.
Bridges were carried away on the Ho-
nolulu plantation tracks.
People who happened to be awake In
Honolulu in the early morning hours
saw one of the grandest electrical dis
plays, apparently with the focus over
Eva, which has ever been witnessed
on this island. At intervals of a few
seconds, for an hour or so, vast sheets
of dazzling white lightning shimmered
over landscape extending for miles.
The glare would light up detached
banks of heavy cloud, between which
the sky was only slightly obscured
with thin vapors. So frequent were
the flashes and so extensive that the
display Wed with the aurora borealis
of northern climes in fantastic illumi-
nation. 1t would remind one from the
middle west OF a prairie thunder
storm. There was ever and again a
rumble of distant thunder.
