Senator Schmidt gave notico of a bill imposing a special tax on certain corporations, which tax is to be devoted specially to immi gration purposes. Senator McCandless offered a resolution to tho effect that it was tho sense of tho Sonato that tho Executive prepare a bill author izing an issue of 4 por cent bonds, with 3 por cent discount and 2 per cent commissions, for tho purpose of refunding tho present bonded indebtedness. By agreement tho resolution wont over until Monday. Under tho head of unfinished business tho appeal from tho ruling of tho chair on tho con struction of Rule 48 came up. (Senator xJrown thereupon with drew his appeal, which took up tho bill to make Kailua a port of entry from tho tablo. On motion of Senator Brown further consideration of tho bill wob postponed until Sonator Hol stein's bill and a bill to be pre pared by tho Executivo on tho same matter, were boforo the Son ate.

Nino mombors prosont at tho opening hour. A communication from tho Sen ato informed tho Houso that tho report of tho conferonco commit too on Sonato Bill No. 1, relating to appropriations had boon-adopted and roforred to tho Sonito commit too on passed bills. ' Eep. Bond offered tho report of tho committee on education in j-o-gard to u petition from Keuuhuu asking that tho preparatory school atthat placo bo kept open. Com mittoo advises opening tho school whenever the number of scholars roaches ten or moro, tho number being now but eight. Bop. Kamauoha said ho under stood thoroworo about forty-live pupils and proposed referring the petition back to tho com mittee Eep. Bond objected stating that tho committoo had tho report of tho school and wbb certain that thorp woro not moro than eight pupils. This school was closed last month. Report finally adopted after forty minutes talk. Bop. Kamauoha presented an amendment to tho fence law. Select committee on Senato bill No. 4, asked for moro time; grant ed. Ministers Damon and Smith woro present and Bop. Bjbnd took advantago of tho fact by pro pounding riddles, requesting answors from tho Minister of Fi nance. 1st. What is tho amount of tho bonded debt hold abroad? An swor: 81,000,000 in London and $100,000 in tho United States. 2d. "What omouut is hold in Hawaii? Answer: About 81,900, 000. 3d. As Uoating bonds abroad is attoudod with considorablo ox penso, while there is practically no expenso attached to tho dispos ing of tho same at homo, why can not tho government well all'ord to pay a highor rate of interest for a homo loan than for n foreign ono? Answer: If only n high inter est bearing homo loan wore at tempted, foreign investors would purchaso hero just tho samo through their agents, thus taking advantago of tho higher rate. At this juncturo tho Spoakor ruled that Mr. Bond was out of ordor and requested him to pro sont his questions in writing which was douo. Tho balance of them aro as follows: 4th. Taking into consideration tho period of time for which tho bonds would run, what do you considor would probably bo tho highest additional rate of interest that tho homo bonds could bour above tho rato of bonds abroad? In other words how much highor than tho foreign rato of intorest could the homo rato bo without making the actual percentage of expense on tho homo loan moro than that on tho foreign loan ? 5th. "What objection would, there bo, if any, to tho passing of tho two soparato Loan Acts; ono for tho issuauco of bonds to bo sold abroad and tho other at u higher rato of intorest for sale at homo ? Gth. In caso tho prosont dobt should bo funded would it not bo unjust to tho homo holders of bonds to deprive thorn of tho op portunity of loaniug thoir monoy at a lower (?) rate of intorest if they wished, by placing tho wliolo loan abroad ? 7lh. Would not such a pro coduro work an injury to this country ? Signed, E. 0. Bond. Sonato Bill No. 12 passed sec ond reading. Tho Miuistor of tho lutorior gave notico of his intention to in troduco a bill rolativo to tho estab lishment of public parks, pluus uro grounds, oto.

By tho,tBteamor Kilauea Hon, which arrived last ovoning f torn Howaii, tfio Evening BuiiLETiN receivrd another batch of interest ing conespondeuce from its editor, Daniel Logan, about tho great eruption of Mokuaweoweo, tho summit crater of MauuaLoa. Tho Bulletin is tho only paper in the islands which has ono of its staff on tho spot, and its readors aro woll awaro thnt Mr. Logan is abundantly able to do justice to tho occasion. S. S. Kinau, off Kdwaihao, April 25, 3 n, m. Sliding off my couch at this hour, tho smoothness of tho water indicating tho proximity of tho land, I was mot at tho foot of tho saloon stairs by Purser Beckloy, "W THE VOLCANO AS IT APPEARS 1'IIOM MAHUKONA. Sketched for tlio 111 i.i.ktin by U. Howard Hitchcock. who, with a gesture toward tho deck, remarked in. deop tones : "Dan. Logan, you want to go up there now. It shows up beauti fully." N Coming on dock I had tho first sight in my lifo of an active vol cano of tho school geography typo a mountain summit bolching forth flanio and smoke. I had previously looked over tho brink of Kilauea's iunor crater, when, as was tho popular phrase at tho time, the bottom of tho lako of firo had dropped out. Pour years later I looked into that Jnko whon its surging waves of molten lava came within polo reach of tho ledgo on which tho visitors reclined. Tho scone now behold a score and a half of milos away, from tho deck of tho Kinau, is different from thoso other grand spectacles oil tho mountain sido. This is just liko tho school-book pictures of Vesuvius. Dead ahead on tho starboard quarter tho palo out lines of tho mountain triplots of Hawaii aro clear in the light of tho descending moon. From tho summit of tho middle mountain Mauna Loa a pillar of fire is limned against tho sky. It is in tense red, super-imposed by a fil my pink reflection, and a ragged whip of smoko, streaked deep black, oxtends toward Hualalai's peak like a warship's homoward bound pennant. I am not rash onough to estimate tho height of tho pillar of light, but sond here with a rude sketch that will con voy a fair idea of tho beautiful sight. Gardner Wilder aud Howard Hitchcock aro up, and givo tlio opinion that tho eruption is to ward tho Kim sido. Thoy aro not dogmatic on tho question, how over, as tho plateau on tho summit is a milo and thrco-quart-rs wido. Our volcanic isle, at al events, is proving equal to moro than ex pectations of its performance of duty. "Yoleanoos in any stylo on tap," it may advortiso itself. Ki lauea is unique among known volcanoes, whothor in roposoful or in porturbod moods. Enough has not been mndo of tho fact that it is well worth Booing oven whon tho fiery flushings of its lakes and ooiios have rucoded, as they havo a fashion of periodically doing. Hero, however, wo havo within (loiivoniunt roach of four conti nents u real duplicate of VohiivIuh. It may be viewed, moreover, at long rango without any ovorland travel whatever. I just caught a glimpse of it, while tho Bteamor was turning, froin Mr. Bockloy's desk whoro those lines aro written. I would say in all sincerity that I consider tho Bight ovon from tho steamer woll worth tho cost of tho trip to Hilo. There is a constant ly changing aspect in tho specta cle. At Kawaihae, 4 a. m. i Tho moon has gono down and I sond you a sketch of tho volcano under tho conditions of darkness. Our artist mav ronroducn thn scene now, making tho mountain as donso a black as his plato will carry. Tho pyrotechnic glow is mode brighter by contrast. Its baso seems to broaden now, and there aro upshootings of flaming vapor at difforent points. There is every appearance of a lako of firo in violent commotioa over an area so oxtonsivo as to beggar the grandest displays in Kilauea. Samuel Parker has como aboard to .havo a crack with tho ship's company. He says tho eruption is in tho summit crater, and ho ought to know. Mr. Porker coos to Honolulu by either tho Iwalaui or tho Hall. Possibly tho expedition for tho summit may push through to tho Volcano Houso tonight. Dr. Dillo will mako tho journey if ho finds that ho can possibly do it and cntch this Kinau to return. It would bo no small advantago, in tho intorest of tourist travel from tho Coast, to havo a lecturor of such ability seo tho marvelous phenomenon at close quarters, as ho rotums to San Francisco on May 9 and this eruption bids fair to continue for months if not years. Samo Day, 5:45 a. m. It is broad daylight now, and tho Yolcauo presouts a tamer, yet still an interesting aspect. A vast column of smoko, with voluminous lateral sproadings, rises over tho apex of the mountain. Skotcli en closed. 'It is clearly apparent now that if tho eruption is in tho summit crater, it iB toward tho Kau vorgo. At tho samo time that it is on tho summit is ovidont from the fact that tho inoidonco of tho column does not chango its relative position to tho contour of tho mountain. If it was any con siderable distanco down tho Kau Bido,tho pillar would not continue, with the changed point of view as tho steamer is now moving in an opposito direction from what it was always directly over the contor of tho summit. I cannot thank Purser Beckloy too heartily for his kindness in placing hiB desk at my disposal night and day, and for the assist ance ho is rondoring in ascertain ing mail facilities on whoro. 0 a. m.

I tell you Mahukona is booming. Six teen vessels havo arrived at Mo hukona and Honoipu since the beginning of tho year. Tho ox ports of sugar so far have been 6000 tons Mahukona 4000 and Honoinu 2000. Honoipu, yoa know, is in my colloctorahip; it is only five miles away." Mr. Smithies knows as much about old Honolulu as any living man. Ho is notwithstanding his years a perfect cyclone in busi ness. It would do tho P. M. G.'s heart good to Beo him exploiting tho local and foreign mail by tho Kinau. Ho reminds mo of the lightning mail clerks back East. D.L. IN TIIK DISTItlCT couitr.
