house opposite. Shortly before seven
she had seen Maitland, stiff and
uncompromising in rigorous even
ing dress, leave in a cab. Since
then only once had light appeared in
his rooms; at about half after nine the
Janitor had appeared in the study,
turning up the gas and going to the
telephone. Whatever the nature of
the communication received, the girl
had taken it to indicate that Maitland
had decided to spend the night else
where; for the study light had
burned for some ten minutes, during

ing as 1t had the very moment that
the door had closed noiselessly behind
her, the double stroke had sounded to
her like a knell; or, perhaps more like
the prelude to the wild alarum of a

with terror, then urging it into panic
flutterings.
But these, as the minutes Crew on,

length she mustered courage to move
from the door, against which she had
flattened herself, one hand clutching
the knob, ready to pull it open and fly
upon the first aggressive sound.
In the interval her eyes had become
accustomed to the darkness. The
study door showed a pale oblong on
her right; to her left, and little to-

mostly private. There was downright
enjoyment all over every minute.
OF course, there was a parade of the
sailors, fine one, and around that pa
rade was centered some of the humor
of the reception here. Some of the big
folks wanted the sailors to march with
leis around their necks. 1t was to be
sort of acceptance of the yoke, a sub
mission publicly to the spell of Hawaii.
The idea seemed pretty good, for the
people here had read how the sailors
marched in Santa Barbara in the flower
parade with blossoms in their rifles.
Why not have leis around their necks
in Hawaii
That started a great outlaw about
town, and the result was that the sail
ors marched as if they We're out for
business and according to regulations.
Still, the leis program was carried out
in way. The one hundred girls were
on the landing stage when the boys got
back, and they had the leis on their
arms. When the boys were ordered TO
the at.ease position, those girls charged
on them, hooped their necks with the
wreaths and put the lads in the finest

put real jollity into their hearts, and
every one was glad that the Hawaiian

out. Every one was also glad that it

here seems the proper place to men

that could be seen on any building was
that on the japanese consulate. Word

visited Halemaumau in 1891, 1905,
1906 and now in 1908, when the fires
are hotter and the view both by night
and by day, more awe inspiring than
/ ever saw.
The reflection of the fire upon the
sky tonight is over three miles high
and the appearance is constantly chang.
ing, it now being high in air and not
reaching the ground. while few nights
ago il formed perfect dome extending
way beyond the edges of the crater,
which is some two miles by three miles.
On the latter evening the mist was very
heavy. Directly over the pit of fire
the light is so red as it rises and falls
that it appears like the liquid red hot
lava itself.
Over 800 visitors, from all parts of
the globe, registered here last month,
and with the constantly increasing ac-
tivity of the fire, which has always
been visited in perfect safety, no doubt
the record will be maintained.
When / visited Halemaumau in 1891
the lake of fire was about $50 feet
down. but little smaller than now
and with perceptible rim. Then the
fountains by actual measurement count,
spouted liquid lava from 100 to $50
feet high, the distance being computed
by the seconds it took the lava to fall.
Now the fountains drop in one second
so are from fifteen to twenty feet high,
but sparks and small particles of liquid
lava are thrown thirty to forty feet.
The lake now is about $50 feet down
and looks as if it has risen at least fif-
teen feet during my visit from August
5 to 30.
saw on one visit at one time, three
central fountains and eight squirting
ones on the edges of the lake. One
/ feature of the central fountains is that
at times they move towards the shores
and often cause lava flows over them.
While our party was watching they be-
gan to move thus coming directly to-
wards MS, moving with such speed and
exhibition of infinite power that it
would seem rs if the very walls below
us would be crushed or melt away in
the maelstrom. Needless to say we all
of one accord rose to our feet prepared
to fly, but remained, spellbound, only
to see the fury impotently spent on
the shore, which it finally climbed and
slowly spread out in n fiery flow to
the vertical walls at our feet.

cradle thickness and the broken pieces
were thrown to the tops of the highest
fountains But now the crust is very
thin and bends and breaks with no
perceptible show of thickness and great

There are frequent overflows extending
to the walls, and the lake contains fif

All sorts of reasons were given for
this action. 1t was ascribed to fear,
to sullenness, to disposition to make
trouble for us and what not. Those
best informed on the situation said that
it was a most delicate compliment and
was done to avoid any. spirit of jar or
harshness. The Japanese were not
ashamed of their flag, it was explained,
but in view of the recent unpleasant
ness on the Pacific Coast and elsewhere
ii was thought to be the part of wis

thing that would not conduce to perfect

For the first time in the history of
Cuba schoolhouses have been used for
polling places during the election Just
held. As the schools were not in ses-
sion, the use of the buildings helped out
materially, one of the difficulties hav-
ing been to find suitable locations for
the booths. In the meantime the bar.
rios, or precincts were divided by the
electoral boards into colleges, electors
assigned thereto, and collecting electoral
boards appointed. The equipment OF
the polling places was entrusted to
these collecting boards. The official bal

were delivered to the presidents of
these collecting boards.
An election bureau was organized at
Havana at the verv outset to keep in
