Although Erik announced to me
very soIemnly that he had changed
and that he had become the. most vtr-

himself-a sentence that, at first, per-

and repulsive ugliness put him with

smoke FROM CRATER
CAUSES AUTO SMASH

Smoke from the crater of Kilanea,
blowing across the auto road, was re.
sponsible for an auto accident last
week. The occupants of the machine
. escaped unhurt. The party was re-
turning from visit to the pit. The
driver pointed his machine down the
road, but after starting pall of smoke
swept over the road. An instant later
the left forward wheel went over the
side of the road. The car was brought
to stop just as the hind wheel reach
cd the narrow side ledge. Half a foot
further and the entire party would
have been dashed upon the hard lava
surface at the foot Of the embank-
ment and several probably would have
been killed.
In order to get the machine back on
the road it was necessary to take lava
stones from the wall and build them
under tho front wheel and making a
narrow roadway in front of it to join
with the main road. When this was
done the car was brought safely back.
In the auto were Miss Billie RAIDER,
the Misses HeymanD and Fred Noyes,

Bedford.
THE LEADERS ARE IUBILANT

BOSTON, March 25-The long drawn
cut struggle between the mill operators
aud their employees has ended. Word to
that effect reached this city late last
night. Reports from Lawrence, where
the strike has conferred, announce that
the city has gone wild with joy at the
news and that the strike leaders are
jubiiapt over their complete victory.
simultaneously with that news from
Lawrence comes word that there is ey.
cry prospect that the 10000 mill opera.
tors in New Bedford and the nearby
towns, will 60 out on strike of their
own, encouraged by the success Of their
brothers in Lawrence. This news has
reached Lawrence and the strikers
there are said to have signifed their in.
tontion of giving the New Bedford men
any aid in their power.
One of the first results of the closing
of the hostlities at Lawrence will be
the return of the children of the strik,
ers, who were sent away from home ia
escape starvation. Reports from that
city say that messages have been sent
to the various cities where the young
Bters have been taken care of, where the
strike was on, directing that they be
sent home at once.

ment to leave the Hilo hotel week
ago. He began to sign bar chits soon
after he arrived from Honolulu, and put
up at the hotel. Gordon, who ~ re.
membered here as an uncredentialed
aviator who stung several local people
last fall, disappeared quietly couple
of weeks ago from his local haunts
He was thought to have gone to the
Coast.
1t appears, however, that the not
very-near aviator went to Hilo, regis.
tering at the Hilo hotel under a differ
ent name from that he used here. He
was quickly recognized, however, and
when he began supplying the front Of
fee with bar chits, the management
called quits, and Gordon was told to
take his clothes and go.
Gordon is said to be remittance
man, who happened to get considerably
ahead of his remittance There are still
some local people who believe that he
is an aviator, and it is generally
thought by those who know him that
he has a good deal of knowledge of the
business But most of the acquaint-
ances he made in Honolulu are much
mystifed as to just who he really is
and what was his game. Gordon is not
his real name
The mysterious airman is said to be
still in Hilo, having taken his residence
at another hostelry when invited to
leave the Hilo hotel. 1t happens that
the Hilo hotel is under the same man
agement as the Honolulu Union Grill,
which had Gordon arrested for passing
a bad check.

JIMINEz Mexico, March 25.---After
a fight lasting from early yesterday
morning until late last night four thou.
sand rebels have succeeded in cooping
up two thousand federals in the little
town of Escalon. Both sides lost heav.
lily in the fighting.
The rebels made use of new engine
Of warfare in their battle. They were
attacked by an armorod train, carrying
a couple of hundred federals under the
command of General Salas. In order
to defeat this they loaded several cases
of dynamite, used for mining purposes,
upon the cow catcher of locomotive
of the Mexican Central Railroad and
started this machine Of destruction at
high speed against tho train. The ex-
plosion that followed the collision kill.
ed sixty of the federals and completely
wrecked the train. General Salas was
among those badly wounded.
The federal situation grows more and
more precarious daily.

Take it little easy. You are doing
strange and wonderful things in this
old country. Take it just a little bit
easy, and let the people come to real
ization gradually of the comparative
liberties they arc being given Now,
of course, no one will want to say that
i was against progress in China. No,
but | remembered an old and famous
maxim that said make haste slowly,
and i knew that in many matters this
was the better way. And right at that
time, too, one of the great statesmen
II Japan said to me that in his firm
opinion China was going too fast. All
Trough the far East among the men
affairs, that is among the big men
among the foreigners, it was the gem
eral opinion that reforms were fol-
wing each other altogether too rap
idly for the eventual good of the
natiun.
THE day of the breaking out of the
revolution at Hankow left Picking for
tour of the provinces. The news of
the outbreak had been received, and
remember that L shook my head and
told myself and others that the repub-
leans could not possibly succeed. All
my friends at the capital thought the
same. Everybody in Picking whose
onions Mero of any value thought the
same way; and it was with very much
misgivings that started out from the
capital.
But as went from place to place
and heard the people freely express
themselves, and learned of the progress
of the revolution, L began to believe
that what at first seemed impossible
was to be realized to the full. During
those few weeks following / Travelled
perhaps two thousand miles through
southern China and what / heard and
saw so changed my views that / began
writing to my friends in Picking and
telling them that nothing could pos

mans opinions.
In south China ] saw that the
whole people, almost man for man and
woman for woman, we're with the re-
publicans and that there would either
be republic established for all China
or there would result terrible and
perhaps long drawn out civil war. To

we are obliged 10 acknowledge that
it is indeed a great venture for a ma,
ton like China to attempt a republic;

RAILROAD DECISION
Is REVOLUTIONARY

WASHINGTON, March 25.-It be-
came down yesterday that the Inter
State Commerce Commission has final
ly decided one of the most important
questions which has come before it for
some time. 1t is the opinion of the ma
jority of the commissioners that if a
railroad shall give a low rate on GER
tain classes of freight wholly within
the lines of State, il shall, if the con-
ditions are similar, grant the same rate
between interstate points. The vote
was four to three on the opinion.

The Acceptance.
! The acceptance of the Chinese is
! couched as follows:
1 "The United Chambers of Commerce
of China after the most careful consid:
Grafton have decided to accept the in
vitation but regret that on account of
the present situation it would be inn
possible for the Chinese merchants to
pay the visit on March Goth and there
fore ask respectfully that the question
of the date be held over for the pres.
ent. The delay is due to the fact that,
arising out of the political changes of
the past few weeks, there will be
weighty financial and commercial ques-
tions of national character to be CON
siiered, and that many of those who
would otherwise participate in the visit
would be engaged for some time in the
settlement of these issues. Without
their presence the delegation would
not be thoroughly representative in
character. - t'"
This was given at farewell dinner

by one of the most popular Chinese ora

"Real news of the conditions in Chi.

diplomats in FeliiLg never Lnew what

they are and were close friends, work.

True Patriotism.

able exhibition of the patriotism that
animated the people of that part of
China, proof of the genuine senti-
ment that was back of the revolution.
There 1 saw lines of people bringing
supplies for the army, free donations,
given without compulsion and without
request. The general in command told
me that he had a great warehouse fill
ed with supplies, every pound of which
had been given as q THANK Offering

were supplied the same way. l do not
know that history records anything
like this. 1t was a wonderful thing
to see.

DR.. Sun Vat Sen, while really the head
