The Matson Navigation liner Lur-
line that is now steaming from San
Francisco to Honolulu and expected TO
reach her home port on Wednesday
morning, is believed viii Snow few
scars resulting from the thIrty-hour
battle with the wild tempest in the
n1id-Pacific which resulted j in the
smashing Of windows, the flooding of
staterooms, bursting or steampipes
and putting the galley out of business.
1t was the latter end or the last
voyage to the coast that the Lurline
encountered a storm, which in the
opinion Of Captain Weecen, was the
worst that has fallen to HIS lot In the
seven years he had Travelled between
the islands and the coast. Tie Lur-
line, while coming through the deluge
of huge green seas withou; vital dam
age, suffered the loss Of much deck
fitting.
Supplementing the cables received
by the Star-Bulletin at the lime, de
tails of the Lurline's plight were re-
ceived this morning.
The storm was from the northwest
and was accompanied by a high beam
sea. Captain Weeden estimates the
velocity of the wind at about 90 miles
en- hour 1t stirred up sea so great
that for four hours he had to head
the Lurline into the teeth of the temp
est. As IL was, a number or heavy
seas swept the liner and Old consider
able damage about the decks.
Two sections of rail on the port side
were carried away, several ventiiators
were smashed, lifeboat was lifted
from its checks and slightly damaged
and several steam pipes were broken.

SEAT SALE TOMORROW
FOR LATER GRAND OPERA

The seat sale for the last three days
OF the second week of the grand opera
season, will open tomorrow morning,
at nine o'clock, at the Hawaiian pro
motion rooms The operas for these
Gays are as follows: Thursday, Bar
Der of Seville; Friday, La Boheme;
Saturday matinee, II Trovatore; Satur-
cay evening, Madame Butterfly. The
prices for Madame Butterfly will re-
main unchanged, with the exception OF
the unreseryed gallery, which Will be
81 instead of fifty cents, and the last
two rows of the dress circle, which,
like the other seats in that section,
viii be $3.50. The slight increase In
the price for the Butterfly perform
alce is owing to the heavy royalty ex-
acted by the publishers of the Puceini
score, which is copyrighted anu pro-
tected by the American copyright
laws. While the other Puecini operas
TO be sung, La Tosca and La Doheme,
rs well as Massenets That's also draw
heavy royalties, the fees exae5ed are
not so excessive. and there Will be no
change from the regular pTsces for
these productions.
Advance Manager Baker announced
that, within the third and last week
of the engagement, an opera will be
presented which will be o. special in
terest in a military Yay-GiorGano
historical work, Andrea Chenier,
based upon an incident of the French
revolutionary period and Astounding in
the most inspiring military music OF
that period, including the Marseillaise,
"Carmagnola," Ca Ira and other war
calls of the revolution. The work is
said to be, like Aida, one OF the most
massive works of the operate world.

WON'T PAY GRAYBILLs CLAIM.
RepubIic County Officers Say Cattle
condition known Before Shipped.

BelleviIle Oct. 13-Repubic county
commissioners have just been waited up
on by State Live stock Inspector sam
C;raybiu with an order requesting pay
ment b ythe board to Dr. Mcfarland ana
& r Henry for a number of dairy cows
afflicted by tuberculosis and condemned
and sold under the order OF the i've STOCK
sanitary commission.
The county commissioners absolutely
refuse to obey Mr.. Graybilrs order on
the ground that during the past year
many of the condemned cattle were
knowingly shipped into Kansas in a
diseased condition and as custodlans OF
the county's finances, the county board
feel it is not right for them to pay out
the money for this lot of DISEASED cattle
holding that such cattle should never
have been allowed to enter the state IN
the first place.
on the other hand the local board
are of the opinion that it is the duty of
the state department to straighten out
the tangle by shouldering the expense and
responsibility instead of dumping a bunch
of law suits onto Republic county. Gray
bill. it is stated, is endeavoring to shift
the responsibility from the state depart
rnent to Republic county. Mr.. Grayblll
while here, it is said, admitted that much
of this stock was shipped into the state
contrary to law.
