Returning Volcano Travellers
Report the Activity as
Magnificent.

Reports from the volcano brought
down by passengers on the Mauna
Kea yesterday tend to show that there
has been no exaggeration of the con-
dition in any of the stories previously
given out.
E. A. Aldrich, of Moscow. Idaho, has
travelled considerably around the world
and has visited volcanoes in different
parts of it. Last year he was at
Mount Pelee, and two years ago he
was here, but there was so little activ-
ity at Kilauea that it was not worth
mentioning. He was one of the re-
turning passengers yesterday, and is
about as enthusiastic over what he
saw as one could possibly be.
81 have seen the much-written ac-
counts about Pelee in the West Indies,
but there is no comparison between
that volcano and yours he remark
ed to representative of the Adver-
tiser. ''Our party sat on the brink

Il hope these boats will stop at more

it is an American line.
However. any way it goes one more

this one brings the southern states

lieve that it is from the south that we
will get our small farmers, and, per-
sonally, am working in that direction.
shall be pleased to hear from any
merchants who deal with the southern
states, or who wish to, as well as those
who have Affiliations in Japan, Korea
or northern China"
The Territorial Transportation Com
mfttee started i'm to active life about
a month ago, with the avowed purpose
of lowering passenger rates wherever
it could, securing better service be-
tween Hawaii and the Pacific coast,
and uniting with Australasia in plac-
ing the advantages of Pacific ocean
travel before the American tourist.
Along all these lines it is making prog

new steamship lines to make these
islands port of call and reducing the
passenger rates by bringing about

problem that now so vexes tourists
and Hawaiians alike.

night the cone exploded just about
dusk, few minutes after our arrival
at, the crater and the molten lava
spread all over the surface of the pit
There did not seem to be a spot that
was not fully covered, and two foun-

the increase. From present indications
and what the visitors told me it does
not seem to. me that it will be very
long before the lake will be on a level

siderable heat ali around the opening,
and the fire is continuous.

The success which attended the intro
duction of intercollegiate foot ball at
Intercity park yesterday afternoon when
the university of Vermont and Norwich
university met for one of their annual

NOTES AND COMMENT
ON THE LEGISLATURE

The bill introduced by Representa-.
tive Tilden of Barre city for the election
of license commissioners directly by the
people, is, in the opinion of the Herald
much nearer the ideal Of local option
and much more apt to be equitable and
OF practical value than the proposition
of centering the appointment OF license
commissioners in state board, -Rut-
land Herald.

Open Ballot Boxes Earlier.

The legislature would do we'll to pass
law at the present session whereby
the ballot boxes in the various places
shall be opened on election days at 9
o'clock in the morning. The law pro
vides at the present time that the boxes
shall be opened at 0 o'clock and ii any
other arrangements are made for an
earlier opening privilege has been asked
from the legislature. In many places
there are workmen who much work on
election day and many of them do not
vote because the ballot boxes are not
open in time to catch their ballots be,
fore they leave for their days work. In
Montpelier, one of the few places in the
state having the ballot box open at
o'clock, it has been demonstrated by
actual count that between $50 and 200
votes are east between the hours Of 6
and Z o'clock If the conditions prevail
in Montpelier, they prevail in other
places and the aggregate vote would
amount TO a good deal Throughout the
state.-Niontpeli journal.
The Montpelier journal makes a time
ly argument for an earlier opening of
the polls on election. Opening as they
now do at 3 o'clock, the great mass OF
the voters, if they would cast their bal
lots in the morning, as is desirable,
must make a special GRAND Of it, and
for very many of them this is imprac-
ticable Were the polls open at 6 all
those whose work begins within an hour
thereafter could cast their votes on the

A law providing that the ballot boxes
in the various towns be opened at 9 a. m.
on election days might well be passed at
this session Of the general assembly.
Montpelier has a special law covering
this point and it has been demonstrated
that a large number of workingmen vote
