Passengers from Hawaii, however, found that much-talked-of country more interest- ing from a tourist’s standpoint than even from a political point of view, and with good reason. Whoever takes the voyage from San Francisco to Honolulu has ever after a ho are aly traveling the route. You covered what a capital story- teller the purser is, what a charming cor on would be if he could be pe: ave his beloved Pacific. The captain will bave ct you in some stray moment of his p leisure. In a word you will be at home on board and willing to sail on over the blue ocean for a year and a day. There is a peculiarity about one or two ships of the Oceanic line that is not shared Atlantic liners. Ii you fail in getting an outside stateroom you need not worry. The ships are so planned that the inside staterooms have ventilation from the up- per deck, so that even in weather when the bullseye of an oumide room_must be closed an inside room on the Mariposa, for instance, will have a fresh, delicious current of sea air passing through it. The steamers sailing out of San Fran- cisco are not the floating monsters that ply the Atlantic, but they are perfectly appointed voyaging homes. The passen- gers on Atlantic ships might woh envy those on an Oceanic steamer at meal- time. Fancy seven days at sea and never a rail on the table to hold recalcitrant plates and cups in place. You sit quietly enjoying your luxurious meal, where “every delicacy of the season” graces the table, and no one throws a cup of coffee at you in an unexpected lurch of the ship. This is the usual experience. Sometimes the Pacific does get up a storm for vou, with waves mountain high for the gallant ship to mount; but stormy voyages are the exception, rather than the rule, and the ships are stanch and well built. ‘When the ship is midway between San Francisco and Honolulu firedrill will be held. Passengers are warned before- hand, so no one is alarmed, and the occa- ion is always a pleasing and even exciting break in the long dream of the voyage. The writer crossed once when a young Greek youth was among the passengers. He was a big, overgrown boy of a feliow, alwa i getting in the way. The crew had just gone through the firedrill and were rapidly getting the ships to rights again when our young Greek appeared, hurrying from group to group on deck bidding the ladies not to be alarmed; there was no fire— merely the regular firedriil of the ship! As the tropical line is neared the nights become more beautiful than ever. The blue of the sky deepens and intensifies.

There is something about the very memory of ‘‘the land where ’tis alw afternoon’ that fortifies one alike against winter’s cold blasts and sum- mer’s burning heat. Ask any globe- trotter to what portion of the tiaveled earth his mind oftenest reverts with long- ing for the delights he there experienced, | and his answer is almost certain to be, the Hawaiian Islands.

At first we see no difference between this new land and the California coast line.

Only the intense blue sea and sky, the soft, balmy, fragrant air, are unlike the winter sea and ui\' and air we left be- hind us. We are 2100 miles from all that, and presently begin to realize it.

It would not be possible to give a de- scription of the voleano that would conve; any just idea of this most feariul of all natural wonders. To begin with, it does not in the least answer to the pictures given in our geographies of the “‘mountain sending out fire, smoke and lava,” It is not like a nice round sugar-loaf, with a little curling wreath of vapor issuing from the top like smoke from a cottage chimney. The mountain is a beaul,i?ul. wooded height, cut with charming little valleys and trav- ersed by jolly, laughing streams. Sugar vlantations nestle at its feet. The A | ascent winds through groves of tropical trees, forests of banana and ohia, the native apple, great tree ferns, towering | fifty feet In air, wild guavas and castor thickets. Ohela berries’ grow by the road- side, mangos and breadfruits. It is one of | the most beautiful roads thatcan beim- agined, albeit it calls for some stiff | climbing. At the end of the journey, thirty*miles from angewhere, is the Voleano House, one of the best-appointed hotels to be found anywhere, kept by Peter Lee, a genial ex- sea captain. Here the traveler who ar- rives worn out with the hard mountain trip is given a vapor bath in the hot sul- hurous breatis 6f the volcano (the steam eing piped into the bathroom by the sim- ple process of running pipes into the hot | earth), and is then put luxuriously to bed. In the morning he awakes fresh as a lark, all the soreness and fatigue of the journey gone from his limbs. These bathsarea famous cure for rheumatism. But the crater at the top is like a vi: of sheol. [maginea great pit, a thousand feet deep, with perpendicnlar walls of jet black. The pit is nine miles in circumfer- ence. It is three miles across, and the floor, the walls, the very stones by the way- side are black as night. And there are scenic effects done in ebony all about you. The crater is broken up into mountains and valleys, ravines and streams. The mountains” are jet black, the ravines are inky chasms wf’mse mid- night depths cannot be sounded, and the | streams are of burning fire. One walks across this black waste, not- | ing the features of the horrid landscape, | until Hale-mau-mau is reached, the “ever- | lasting fire.” This is the lake of the | crater. |~ Butsuchalake!

Thespectacle is grand, beautiful, dreadful. It exercises a_feariul fascination over the behoider. One longs, yet dreads, to leave. The memory of that sight will never leave the mind. Nature can have no further térrors for him who has once seen Kilauea. Nowhere in the known portions of the globe has she afforded man such a spectacle as here awaits him. “I have been over nearly every portion of our earth,” said one passenger by the Mariposa, ‘‘and seen about all there is to be seen, but the crater of Kilauea exceeded in awfulness and interest all I had ever dreamed of. I shall never forget it.” DOLE MEN ARE AT OUTS. Disagreement in the Cabinet Over | the Disposition of Rebel Prisoners.

There are magnificent drives everywhere out of the city. Pearl Harbor must be visited, where the United States is to establish a coaling station. The drive to Waikiki is a favorite one, and the sea- bathing there is the finest in the world. The winding bridieway up Tantalus is a famous trip and to climb the Punchbowl, an immense extinct volcano, is worth crossing the ocean. The Queen’s Hospital must be visited and the very efficient schools are well worth studying. The Ha- waiians can make a better educational showing than any other nation in the world. Over 95 per cent of the native population can read and write and most of the younger generation are proficient in two languages—the English, as well as their own. There is a fine museum, estab- lished with funds left for the purpose by the late Mrs. Bishop, “the last of the Kamehamehas,” and Iolani Palace is an interesting reminder of the now defunct monarchy. The trees and shrubs of the islands wili at once attract the stranger. Here grow the majestic “royal palms’ with their tall, smooth white trunks, straight as an arrow, larger than a man’s body and of a beauti- ful silvery white color. They are the only high palms with a straight trunk. The cocoanut palms grow very crookedly and most of the others do not have tall trunks. The wine palm is a particularly handsome tree, as is also the mango, while the bread- fruit tree is a stately monarch of majestic proportions. - On ~Governor Cleghorn’s rlace at Waikiki is a banyan tree that is | like a small grove. Money has been made very rapidly in the islands in past years, and is bound to be again when political peace settles down upon the little republic. Those who have made money have spent it freely, and the result is more beautiful homes in Honolulu than can be seen in almost any one city of its size in America. The city has been on the whole wisely governed, too, and enjoys | telephone service, water rights and electric { light and power facilities tglt some Ameri- can towns might envy. Of course the reafobjective point of the tourist who visits the islands is Hawaii and the famous volcano of Kilanea. Hono- lulu is on the island of Oahu, from which point Hilo, the chief port in Hawail, is several hundred miles &aunt. There are prisoners.

It was generally understood thdt a test case would be made as soon as itad- journed, but for some reason no action was taken. In all cases that Paul Neumann ap- peared, including the Queen’s, he filed written objections to the jurisdiction of the court, claiming that as”the functions of the civil courts had not been suspended by the martial-law proclamation, they should deal with prisoners. His objections were constantly overruled. . The letfer demanding the recall of Min- ister Thurston is here and was read to an executive session of the Councils yesterday afternoon. This letter had been to Hongkong. It went past Honolulu in a bag witg a couple of hundred others. The fauit lies with the Postoflice at 8an Francisco. The original came from China on the 30th ult. by the Gaelic, and a copy came by the Coptic from San Francisco on the same day. The United States State Department made plain its suspicion of the Postoffice here by sending Minister Willis’ mail per Cop- tic in a separate bag. . The ground of objection to Mr. Thurston is confined to a single transaction and i3 bneflfismt,ed. The sole offense alleged is that Mr. Thurston, at the legation, showed to reporters private letters to himself from Honolulu. The particular letter that gave such offense to the Secretary of State intimated in pretty strong terms that President Cleveland and Mr. Gresham were largely responsible for the January uprising here. Mr. Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian Min- ister about the matter. Mr. Thurston said that he regretted it very much; that in a hurry of handling a big “‘mail he had shown this letter with others without any special intent. In short, he apologized. Secretary Gresham thereupon asked that the apology be submitted in writing. Mr. Thurston declined to do this. Gresham’s letter is dated February 21 last, and in strong language states that Thurston is no longer personally accept- able to the administration at ‘ashing- ton as Hawaiian Minister.

But the President has appointed as such Commissioners three men who are not residents of Montana and who know nothing of mineral lands. This is enough to utterly disgust the men who have been making “a fight to prevent the railroads from ‘‘gobbling’’ the mineral lands. The Government would really get the benefit, since it would get the money for the min- eral lands instead of the railroad com- panies; but if men without knowledge of minerals or mineral lands are to classify such lands then the main object of the new law is defeated. The California Miners’ Association tried hard to get the Montana law applied to California in the matter of mineral lands and railroads, but did not succeed. They are fighting on another tack now and per- haps it is just as well, since if commission- ers for California were appointed from Kansas or Massachusetts to determine which lands were mineral and which agri- caltural, the mining area would be very small. The Montana people have now ee- lected three residents of their State to co- operate with the commission, but it is not known if their assistance will be permitted. | The Governor of Montana, speaking for the miners of the State, says: ‘‘Men des- titute of practical knowledge bearing upon the matter of mineral lands, whose ideas have been formed in a school of experience wholly different from the conditions which will surround them as members of a com- | mission to classify these lands, cannot, in the nature of things, deal as intelligently with the question as the interests of the people require. It is the m.sfortune of those States directly interested in the preservation of their mineral lands that their classification should be delegated to men confessedly ignorant of the nature and scope of the duties they will be called upon to perform.” Pumping to Hydraulic.

That part of the country paid very handsomely in early days on plain mining, and there are now numbers of hydraulic plants and quartzmills. The company that is trying this new method has eighty acres of placer ground so rich that several thousand dol- Tars had been taken out in years gone by with the ground-sluicing process, the drainage from the hill for a few weeks in winter being the only water supply. A few months ago the company purchased the tract and invested about $25,000 in a new scheme. The ground being worked now is 1500 feet from the river, and the ele- vation sixty-five feet. 150-horsepower engine is located along the line of pipe, 760 feet from the river, and steam is conveyed to a large Gardner pump located on the river bank. With this arrangement about 2000 gallons of water a minute is forced through a heavy pipe to a giant located at the mine. At the time of the Medford Monitor’s sit they were using a pressure of about 130 pounds, through the giant, or equal to nearly a 300-feet head of water. This re- quired only 66 pounds of steam at the boiler and only two or three pounds pres- sure is lost in_transmission to the pump, Running night and day about six cords of wood is required for fuel. The pipe used is seven and eight inches, varying in trength along the course, the heaviest ron pipe being used near the river, and at the mine a light steel pipe, permitting an easy change of the location of the giant. Commencing at the lower portion of the mine is a large sluicebox with a number of feeders above. Arrangements are being made to extend the large sluiceway to the river along the pipe line, and the tailings will be dumped in the river apout 10 feet from where the water is taken out.
