Peruna and such other corrections.
Some jackie with a sense of humor
started it. Coming out of the restau-
rant with his empty Peruna bottle, he
carefully laid it in front of the win
dow. Some of his comrades took the
cue, and each as he emerged lined
up his empty hair tonic or alcohol bot
tie alongside the first one, until there
was a row extending for several feet.
1t is not possible to buy a horse s
neck or any other little confection of
that sort in town on Sunday-but it
is possible to make them if you know
how. One wise youth was observed
to enter restaurant last night and
call for bottle of ginger ale. When
it was brought, he poured it out into
a glass, and then emptied into it
stiff jolt of raw alcohol, after which
he proceeded 10 drink the deadly mix
ture with the greatest apparent en-
joyment.

going to be considerable, for the work
is of necessity very slow. In places a
great amount of filing has been neces-

thorough.
''There are some twenty-four Terri

AS they are under prison rules, they
can only be kept busy for a limited
number of hours during the day, and
that fact has delayed the work some

when the job is completed, the road

be proud.

wonderful. The lava is within It's feet
of the top of the crater, and is boiling
at a terrific rate. The visitors were
awe-struck at the sight"

GENERAL SUMMARY.


Light rainfalls were again reported
from Maui, Oahu, the Koloa district
of Kauai, and Hawaii generally; and
all stations in the indicated districts
having a record of ten or more years,
excepting Pahala, Hawaii, report less
rainfall during the week than the aver
age; and the want of rain is beginning
to be severely felt in many districts of
the section.
Pahala, Hawaii, reports 263 inches
of rainfall, of which $50 fell on the
9th. This is the largest weekly
amount reported from there since
March last; and as other stations in
the Kau district report good rainfalls
during the week, the drought condi-
tions in that section have been some
what ameliorated.
The following are the departures
from the average of ten or more years,
in inches, in the several districts: Ha-
vain. Kohala and Hamakua $40,
n. Hilo -2.15 to -2.39, S. HiIo -1.53
to -3.O4, and Kau -0.04, excepting
+2.09 at Pahala; Manufacturers
-0.55; Oahu-Koolauloa -0.52, Koo-
Idup0kO --U.-u 10 -U.1U. ENd dHu
Honolulu -016 to -0,19, and Waia-
nae DOS; and Kauai-Hanalei ZOOS,
Koloa -0.01, and Waimea +0.15.
The greatest amounts of rainfall dur
ing the week were reported from the
Kau district of Hawaii, and generally
ranged from 100 to 2.63 inches.
The following are the amounts in
inches, in the several islands and dis
tricts: Hawaii-N. Kohala OBS to 0.26,
Hamakua 0.09 to O.15, N. Hilo 0.05 to
0.5S, S. Hilo 0.60 to 0.93, Puma 0.57,
Kau O72 to 2.63 and S. Kona 1.3S;
Manufactured 0.49, Hama 0.51 to
166, Waikiki 0.05, and Lahaina trace;
Oahu-Koolauloa 0.03, Koolaupoko 0.22
to O.51, Honolulu and Waianae 0.09 to
012 and Eva 0.06 to 1.25; and Kauai
-Hanalei 1.12, Lihue and Hawaiian
0.62 and 0.63, Koloa 0.59 to 0.S7, and
Waimea 0.37.
The weather was warm, and at times
muggy, throughout the section, and the
mean temperatures in the Hanalei, Ka-
waihau and Koloa districts of Kauai;
the Honolulu and lower levels Of the
Eva districts of Oahu, and the North
Kohala and portions of the Hamakua
and S. Hilo districts of Hawaii were
10 deg. to 81 deg. higher than those
of the preceding week.
The following table shows the week
ly averages of temperature and rainfall
for the principal Islands and for the
Group:

WATERFRONT NEWS

With the Congressional party on
board, the Inter-Island flagship Mauna
Kea is due to arrive from Maui this
morning at six O'Clock. The Mauna
Kea sailed yesterday afternoon for the
other island, and no time viii be lost
upon arriving there in getting the dis
tinguished passengers on board, when
the start on the return trip will be
made. The Mauna Kea will leave
again on her regular trip to Hawaii
and Maui at noon, with small list
of passengers and not great amount
of freight.
Manchuria in Today.
Bringing passengers, mail and freight,
the Pacific Mail steamship Manchuria
is due to arrive from San Francisco
this morning. The Manchuria viii I'M
doubtedly have full list of passen-
gers, many of them destined for this
port. Among the latter will probably
be some school teachers who were de-
tanned on the Coast overtime by reason
Of their inability to obtain aceommo-
dations on any of the previous steamers.
The Manchuria will probably leave for
the Orient again this evening at five
clock, though if Manager Schwerin, S
avowed intention that Honolulu should
be made a twentyfour hour stopover
point is carried out, the big liner will
remain until tomorrow morning.
Schooner Watson Delayed.
On account of the fact that the ship
J Admiral is at present discharging coal
in the bay of Hanamaulu, Kauai, and
will not be through there until about
Friday, the schooner w. G. Watson,
which has cargo of lumber for that
port, has been considerably delayed in
leaving here. The Watson has been
ready to depart for Kauai, having dis
charged her deck-load here, for nearly
a week, but put off her sailing date I'M
til yesterday. Adviees came from the
other islands Sunday to the effect that
the Admiral will not conclude her work
until Friday. Consequently Captain
Stream is compelled to stay here with
his vessel much longer than<<was at
first anticipated. He will sail either
Wednesday afternoon or Thursday
morning for Kauai.
Aorangi Here Tomorrow.
The Canadian-Australian steamer
Aorangi will arrive here tomorrow,
probably about noon, from the Colo
MES, and will sail again the same day
for British Columbia. This is prob
ably the last trip of the Aorangi on
this run, as it has been contemplated
for considerable time to relieve heI
with another steamer.
Another Steamer for Honolulu.
The new British steamer Dunedin
has been fixed for coal from the At.
lantic range for Honolulu at 13s. Cd.
according to latest advices from the
mainland. The Dunedin will make hel
frst trip from the Atlantic to Homo
lulu. She is 3051 tons register.
Passengers on the Rithet,
Captain Drew's smart bark, the R
P. Rithet, owned by the Matson Navi
CATION Company, sailed a short time
ago from San Francisco with several
passengers on board bound for thi:
port The Rithet is carrying heavy
cargo for the islands, including ship
ments of hay, grain, fertilizer, and
general merchandise.

PARIS IS PARALYZED
SNOU And SALT DID III.
Refuse Remorers on Strike-H 900
Horses Dead-HOSptaIs Filled.
Especial by French cable to The Tribune.


Paris. Jan. "a moderate eight hours snow
fall has completely paralyzed the Paris street
cleaning department. The boulevards and prln-
cpaI thoroughfares are covered three lnches
deep with melting snow. mud and hlth anu
owing to the strike of refuse n1oTers the side
walks are lined with dustbins and dirt boxes
and in many instances their contents have been
dumped pellmell into the streets Never IN
modern times has Paris been IN such a nasty
condition as in the last four days, and the state
of the streets here this morning is worse than
anything recorded in New York during the
filthy street cleaning regime SONS twenty years
ago.
NJ de Pontiche, director OF the street service.
when the snowstorm came adopted the usual
Partisan remedy of causing salt to be sprinEled
all over the streets TO melt the snow, which
could then flow into the sewers. Forty thou
sand pounds Of salt were thus thrown on the
snow in the Place de rOpera. and the result Is
a nauseating liquid mud that freezes at night
and meIts in the daytime. This mixture has al
ready caused the death Of II 600 horses IS filing
the hospitals with hundreds of victims OF sore
throat. lung diseases and rheumatism. and Is
destroying boots and shoes with wholesale
rapidity.
NJ de Pontlche has himself rushed off 10 the
South in despair. To-day mass meetings Of In
dignation being held. and the public excite
mert IS great that Paris seems almost on the
verge OF q revolution The municipal admin
istratiou refuses to allow the porters and voiUn-
teer street sweepers TO clear away the snow and
accommodating fifth and. as the "Gauois' to-day
points out, the authorities decline to distribute
brooms to the public for fear If they once got
hold of them they would make such a drastic
sweep that none Of the municipality function
aries would remain in office The newspapers
publish lampoons Of II. de Pontiche, whose por
traits appear with the title OF The Paris Mud
King"
ParIsians declare that they pay SlO,OO.OOO
each year for city tax rates. and Of this $500.
coo is set apart for keeping the streets clean.
Immediate reform IS insisted Meanwhile,
matters getting worse owing TO rain and
hail. Pedestrians wade about IN three inches OF
mud on the sidewalks and sink ankle deep IN
filth when they try TO cross the streets. Traffic
IS almost impossible except by the metropolitan
subway and by the taxcabs. which the only
means OF public conveyance.
Indeed the present collapse OF the street
cleaning department has been a triumph for the
taxcabs which dash merrily through and

American slelghs. but they splash mud,
