THRILLING TRIP IN A BALLOON.
Thrilling adventures with the wind
and water are added to the stories of
the international balloonists in their
race flight from Chicago to estab-
lish a new long-distance record. The
Canadian balloon King Edward, con-
tanning John Bennett as pilot, and
Gerald Gregory, fifteen years old,
dropped into Lake Michigan twice.
Like the Vile de Dieppe, the
French balloon, in which Capt. A. e.
Mueller and George Schoenech nearly
lost their lives when It was ten miles
out from the Illinois shore, the King
Edward sank into the water and SUBJ
merged the two occupants to their
shoulders. They were nearfy in mid
lake when the balloon took itu first
dip.
1--WE had just lost sight of the sky
rocket display in Chicago when we
suddenly felt ourselves sinking into
the lake with a fearful drop" said
Gregory, who returned with the bal
loon, which finally landed near Port
Huron, Mich.
"We had our heads down in the
bottom of the basket arranging
things for the night, and when we
looked up again we were not more
than 100 feet from the water. We
Immediately tossed over nearly all
our ballast, but we could not stop
the car from striking the water. 1t
caused great splash and we were
in the lake up to our waists.
1.-TWO of the sacks of sand were
washed off, and we managed to get
up again after being in the water
about five or ten minutes. We had
our life preservers on. Then we
ascended to a height OF about 1000
feet, and went along at fast pace.
We could not see the water below.
Suddenly we felt ourselves dropping
again.
This time the descent was more
rapid, and as we had thrown all ex-
cept two bags of the ballast over
board we were at loss what to do.
We shot down into tho lake as IL
we were diving into it.
1.-THE water came into the basket,
and we were forced to climb into
the netting above. We tossed out
everything we had, including pro-
visions, and rose again.
Before we went up we were
bouncing along over the waves,
driven by the wind, and thought
we never were going to get up into
the air again. When we finally did
go up we went fast. Mr.. Bennett
said we went up 6O00 feet in six
minutes.
1--WE had no sand, and when we
came in sight of Lake Huron early
in the morning we decided not to
risk the chance of crossing it, as the
distance was $50 miles. So, al
though we were up at an altitude of
5000 feet, we came down gently. I
landed about ten miles from farm
where I am going to spend my vaca-
tion."

ALL SPEAKERS
SHUN CATHCART
Republicans and Democrats
Give Him the Same
Icy Freeze.

Three political rallies were held in
various parts of the city last night,
the Republicans addressing an audience
of about fifteen hundred persons at
Aala park and the Democrats holding
forth at Palama and at Emma Square,
having fair sized crowds at both meet
ings. In view of the attention his
case is receiving from the public gen
orally, it was noticeable at all the raj
lies last night that not once was the
name of Cathcart mentioned, the Re
publican speakers avoiding any refer
ence to him and the Democrats giving
him the same icy policy of silence.
He was not at the Republican meeting
although every other candidate on the
ticket was present and spoke.
A. s. Kaleiopu made the principal
address at Aala, defending his bill pass,
ed in the last Legislature for medical
school inspection. Norman Watkins de-
precated the talk of the fear of the
Hawaiians drawing the color line, point
ing to former elections to show that the
Hawaiian voters use as much discre-
ton in their selection of candidates as
the haoles. Harry Won Holt made an
excellent address in English, stating
his conviction that he would be elected
on tne straight party vote. John Wise
advised the voters not to put an old
woman in as sheriff but to vote for him,
a man equal to emergencies, instanc-
ing the way he sileneed Manuel re-
Gently as proof of his virility. John
Lane referred to himself as ladies
candidate and asked the support of the
ladies in getting the votes of their
husbands for him.
At the Emma Square meeting the
principal address was made by Ed. Ing,
ham, who stated that he could not un-
derstand the fear of the Republicans at
the prospect of Governor F'rear hav-
ing Democratic Senate and House un-
less they thought the Governor was GO
ing to bring in some questionable meas
ures. The Democrats were not going
N to oppose good measures, he said, and
would assist Governor Frear in pass
ing all legislation needed for the gen
eral good of the people of the Ter
'itory.

ENGINES Of
SOLACE BAD
The Naval Board Will Make a
Survey and May Order
Repairs Here.

The engines of the United States
supply ship Solace, the mother of the
brood of destroyers, are in such bad
condition that naval board viii make
survey of the entire engineroom
machinery with a view to determining
whether or not repairs may e made
here or at the Coast.
The engines are the ones installed
when the vessel was launched as a mer-
chant marine ship and have had hard
use on long voyages, particularly in
the Pacific. The recent trip to Samoa
has evidently given the engines strain,
and the storm which Admiral Sebree 3
division encountered few days ago
did not improve them.
That a naval board would have to
make a survey with prospect of or
dering the repair work done here, would
indicate that the engines are in really
serious condition.

CRUISERS BRING 4
DESTROYER To PORT

Admiral Sebree's division of three
into port yesterday morning, complet.
ing very stormy passage up from
! Samoa. The California arrived here
about midnight accompanied by the
destroyers Truxtun and Whipple, and
the Tennessee and Washington arrived
off port later in the night with the
destroyer Hopkins.
The warships left Pago Pago October
Z, towing the destroyers, and on the
14th the tows were east off. On the
following day about noon the division
plunged into gale from the north
west, lasting until the 10th. The de-
stroyers, although beset by big waves,
weathered the storm, but when the
weather cleared, only the Whipple and
Truxtun could be located Admiral
Sebree decided to look about for the
Hopkins with the Tennessee and Wash
ington, and the California, with the
other destroyer, was sent on ahead. The
Hopkins was picked up a little the
worse for wear. She had sustained some
damage to one of her engines and steer
ing gear and was rather shy of coal

The flagship Tennessee and the
French cruiser Catinat exchanged flag
and pun salutes as the former entered

REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE
AND ]. W. CATHCART

There was a meeting of the Repub
lican Central Committee yesterday af
ternoon. The Star says that the fol
lowing matters were decided:
/. That every one of the pub
lished charges against Mr.. Cath
cart must be answered by him.
2. For his benefit and that of
the party, the committee is con-
sidering the calling of a special
meeting the coming week, at which
Mr.. Cathcart should answer the
charges in the way of fully ex-
planning his position.
No date for the meeting was
set.
Those were the precise facts of the
meeting. Now observe how they are
treated by the Bulletin:
For quarters of an hour
this afternoon, Cathcart was clos
eted with the executive committee
of the Territorial Central Commit
tee in executive session. At las
C1OCh u6 leu Inc COUNCIL c0am-
ber and stated that the committee
had agreed, at an early date, to
give him a chance to reply to the
charge made against him, from the
stump.
The committee after adjourning
gave out that a mass meeting
would be held at the Orpheum
next week at which Cathcart
would reply to all the charges i'm
order to make his position clear to
the people.
The committee decided what Cath
art must do; the Star tells the truth
Lbout it; the Bulletin tries to make it
ppear that Cathcart solicited" the
hance to reply to the charges.
1t may be added that the chances of
}athcart replying to the charges, the
most serious of which are vet to be
rinted, are very slim indeed If he
oes reply, the editor of the Adver-
iser will rejoin on any platform which
nay be offered to him. In other words,
his paper will meet the issues in type,
n the stump or in court.

brewers to be considered privileged
characters? To what extent are we
to permit them to put themselves
above the law? Can we, to quote
our friends of the Manufacturers
and Merchants Club, keep within
the limits of sound, practical possibili
ties and yet insist that the brewers
shall submit to the laws enacted by
the legislature of the state? We say
that the sole purpose of the brewers
is to force liquor on the people, to
stimulate their craving for it and to
multiply their opportunities for get
ting it. That is what the brewery,
saloon and all the other outside-and
supposedly illegal-schemes are de-
signed to accomplish.

SALOON "HANDLING"

The Philadelphia Bulletin praises the

sioners who govern the city of Washing

as follows:
What the commissioners propose is
that the price of retail licenses shall
be raised to $1,000 annually, with
stringent provisions for their forfeit
ure in case the men who hold them
violate the law. 1t is urged that no
license shall be granted within four
hundred feet of any school or place
of worship; that consent in writing
should be obtained from majority of
residents in the block where saloon
is asked for, and that in no event shall

That there is a strong and steady
reaction against the Prohibition SEN
timent all over the country is now
an admitted fact. Illinois has put the
cap sheaf of proof on the fact that
Prohibition in the Prairie State is as
dead as the proverbial .door-nail. A
short time ago the Republican state
convention in Illinois positively re-.
pudiated the prohibs by adopting a
platform directly opposed to the prin-
ciples of that party. The Demo
cratic state convention gave Prohibi-
ton in Illinois its coup de grace by
incorporating a ringing personal lib
erty plank in its platform.

This offense, so much graver in every
way than the maintenance of brew

moral conscience of the entire state

the defendants are to escape the
odium attaching to the accusation.
