ADMIRAL NICHOLSON
IS TO VISIT CITY
will Stay Here While on Way to
Take Command of Asiatic
Station.

RearAdmiral r. F. Nicholson, for
merly chief of the most important bu-
reau of the navy, that of navigation
is to be visitor here between ships,
while ON his way out to take command
of the Asiatic station next April Ad-
miral Nicholson is to succeed Rear-Ad-
miral Joseph Ballard Murdoch, now in
command of that squadron.
ADMIRAL Murdoch will leave the Ash
attic station as soon as his successor, Ad-
miral Nicholson reaches there and will
report for duty or retirement on his
arrival in Washington. According to
the plans of Admiral Nicholson that
have leaked out in the local naval cir
Giles that officer intends to reach here
about the middle of February or posi-
BILE the first of March and will remain
in the city for some weeks-,certainly
over two ships. 1t is understood that
he is coming here for a pnrpose con
nected with the naval station at Pearl
Harbor, but the officers who are ace
quainted with his plans are mute and
will neither confirm nor deny any rumors
that they may hear.
The coming commander of the China
fleet is a prominent officer in the ser
vice, He won good deal of fame for
his work while chief of the bureau of
navigation and is considered one of the
most scientific seamen in Uncle Sam IS
service.
When he reaches here if the fleet
ships are still in port he w51l be JOIN
ed by Commander d. w. Wslrtsburgh,
now attached to the U. S. $. South
Dakota, who will act as Admiral Mic
holson's aid, while he is in the Orient.
The tonr of duty of Admiral Nichol-
son will begin about April ] and will
probably last for three years He en-
tered the service from Connecticut, his
native State, September %, 1869. He
has performed many special duties dur
ing his service, some of which have
brought him very much into prominence.

ABE LOUES0N WILL DECLINE TO Be
4 CANDIDATE IF KUHIO IS To RUN
Kuhio Is His Friend and He Has
No Intention of Beating
Him at the Polls.

A. L. Louisson, the coffee king of
Hamakua, whose boom for Delegate to
Congress has passed Honokaa on one
side and reached Waiakea on the
other, was an arrival in the city yes
terday, Mr.. Louisson is rather averse
to talking over his political chances,
but makes two things very clear in
his conversation. One is that the mat
ter of representing the Islands at
Washington is not of his seeking, the
task of holding aloft the Republican
banner having been thrust upon him.
1t is clear case of the office seeking
the man.
The second point in Mr.. Louisson IS
political position is the fact that he
will absolutely refuse to allow his name
to go before any convention if there
remains any possibilities of Kuhio
being in the field The Hamakua poll
tician, in taking this stand, does not
do so from any fear that Kuhio could
beat him; on the contrary, he takes
the stand because he has every reason
to believe that he could put the present
Delegate among the has-beens, and he
has no such desire.
Just prior to sailing for Honolulu
Mr.. Louisson gave out the following
statement to the Hilo representative
of The Advertiser:
"Since / was last in Hilo i have
been receiving assurances of support
from all sides. | have been urged to

Few Gf the hundreds who watched

the lava pool of Halemaumau at the
Volcano during the early part of the
month even specialized on the reasons
underlying the phenomena, although
many knew that Professor Ferret had
predicted just such a state of affairs
as existed. In the article below, writ
ten especially for The Advertiser by
Prof. u. A. Jaggar, il, are explained
the causes which led to Madame Pele 8
recent manifestations.
Professor Jaggsr is at the Volcano,
taking up the work of securing further
scientific data upon which may be for

Maui Strikers Wrong.

Maui Strikers Wrong.
The longshoremen at Kahului struck
first and saw the boss later, consequent
ly there will be nothing doing when
their request that the Coast unions
blacklist the ships loaded on Maui
reaches the mainland unions.
Labor men have to learn to do
things properly and in order before
they can expect other labor men to
help them. The Kahului bunch went
off half-cocked and will have to suffer
the consequences.
Another Maui Strike.
Word comes in the Maui News of
yesterday that some of the men work
ing on the bridges in the Hama district
are dissatisfied and have gone on strike,
1t seems that the contractors wanted
to finish up the bridges on the Kailua
side first. They brought the Hama men
to work there but as the Others thought
that work belonged to them, they per
shaded the Hama men to return. These
men were therefore laid off, and now
the others have struck out of sympathy.
1t seems, says the Maui paper, to be
case of the men trying to dictate to
the contractors how they shall do their
work. The gang working at the Pawelo
end are not in sympathy with the
strikers and have told them to return

"General Macomb did not decided

for the cavalry post on this visit, -
said Captain Edwards last evening.

tion will be made in the next few
days, but just now we have not made

Captain Edwards will take the best
men he has had employed on the work
at Fort Ruger to the new work at
SchOfeld on this 100000 job of the
cavalry barracks, and on account of
having such experienced men the work
will go forward much more rapidly
than it did at the commencement of
the Ruger job. The cement gun was

some time to get it working well, but

Asked about the above cable last
night, Captain Edwards said that
there was no such officer on the army
roster as Frank Root, engineer. He
believes him to be civilian engineer
ordered here in connection with the
work at Schoield as it is planned to
bring in number of civilians for some
of the duty.
"The engineer corps has nothing to
do with constructing quarters and bar
racks anyway - said Captain Edwards,

termaster's department.
