Mr. Editor: A ring-shaped depression in the floor of Kilauea, with a cone fifty or ninety feet high in the center of the ring, and a lake of liquid fire in the ring-shaped depression on the west side of the cone, are in general what the Volcano proper has been for the last six months or so. The only change which has transpired within this period, is the formation (which took place early in Nov. 1S89) of a crack in the floor of Kilauea, running about northwest and southwest. The crack extends across the entire circular floor of the crater, cutting a small segment-shaped fragment off from the main floor on the north side. This fissure is perhaps a mile long, from one to five feet wide, and say fifty feet deep. Fresh lava has pushed up from the bottom of this rent. The surface of the ring-shaped depression bordering the lake of fire, sank somewhat, at the time of the formation of the crack, or as consequent upon it, and as is presumed, the central cone and even the lake itself, sank somewhat on the same occasion. Molten lava deep down under the floor of Kilauea found vent through the crack formed in November, and so the central lava reservoir, drawn off a little, the cone and cooled lava of Halemaumau floating in the surface of it, were allowed to drop down to a slightly lower level.

Have you read the National Herald of January 16th? "Muldoon's Picnic" is heavy tragedy by comparison. MR. JUSTICE PRESTON. l'atsses Quietly Away to His tons Rest' at"III Residence, King Street. We are pained to announce the death of the Honorable Edward Preston, Second Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, which took place on Friday afternoon at a quarter before 2 o'clock at his residence, King street. He was presiding at the present term of the Supreme Court, sitting there up to Friday of last week, when he found himself so disabled by pain from an attack of his old enemy, gout, that he remained at home on Saturday. "But this, complicated with other ailments confined him to his bed till his departure from this life at the time stated above. The late Justice Preston was born in London, England, February 17, 1831. At an early age he pursued legal studies. In 1852 he went to Melbourne, Australia, during the height of the excitement of the discovery of gold. He afterwards went to New Zealand where he engaged in the practice of law at Christchurch. In 1870 he came to the islands with his wife, whom he had married in 1852. Soon after his arrival he entered the office of the present Chief Justice of the Kingdom, and was obliged to wait for his papers which he had left in New Zealand. During this time he prepared a digest of the Criminal Code. After receiving his papers he was admitted upon certificate, to the Hawaiian bar. This was upon April 5, 1871, and for some years he engaged in legal practice. His ability as a counsel thoroughly educated in the English common law, in pleading and conveyancing, was soon recognized by the bench and bar. In 1875 he entered the office of the Attorney-General, Richard H. Stanley, On July 3, 1S78, he succeeded Mr. Hartwell as Attorney-General of the Kingdom, holding office until August 14th, 1880, when the Moreno Ministry went in-. He again took the office of Attorney-General on May 19, 1882, but resigned May 14, 1883, stating that he could not hold the office any longer for public reasons. On the 7th of July, 1885, he was appointed Second Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, succeeding the late Mr. Justice Austin. This office he has held with the "highest respect of his associates ot the bar, and of the public. The deceased was a member of His Majesty's Privy Council of State, and also of the Selden Society. He was a grand officer of the Royal Order of the Crown of Hawaii, and grand officer of the Royal Order of Judge Preston was a man habitually reticent about himself, and, the above imperfect sketch is all that we are able to present. Mr. Justice McCully was presiding at the term when the sad news was brought to him by Interpreter Wilcox at six minutes before 2 o'clock. His Honor was so overcome with emotion that it was some moments before he could speak. lie finally told the jury and the counsel of the message received.and said they would no doubt sympathize with him in his grief,as he felt the death of his associate very much. The trial would have to be suspended. His Honor instructed Marshal Soper to tender his services in the conduct of the funeral, after which the Court was adjourned to 10 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Justice Bickerton was hearing a case in chambers when the news came, and at once adjourned Court. TH; FUNERAL. An Impressive Service at St. Andrew's Cathedral The Remains Interred at Makiki.

During the day the Government, diplomatic and consular flags were flying at half mast. CORRESPONDENCE. We do not hold ourselves responsible for the statements made, or opinions expressed by our correspondents. The Reform Tarty. Mr. Editor : A person signing himself "One who knows," writes to the Bulletin of the 16th inst. and attempts to make points against the present administration by reciting various so-called misdeeds of the Reform party of 1887 and joining them with certain acts of the present Cabinet, charges them all as misdeeds of the Ministry. The record of this Government dates from July 1, 1887, and is confined to its Ministerial acts. "Upon that and that alone is it to be judged. Anything else is false and calculated to mislead. Probably not many know what is meant by that nonsense about dropped revolvers and still fewer care. The native cares about the results obtained by the Government under the present Constitution, and of that record the Reform party may well be proud and can urge it as a sufficient reason why it deserves the continued confidence of the country. The Legislature of 1887 condemned "what it believed a departure from the strict intent of the appropriation bill, and since then there has been no misappropriation nor attempt at misappropriation of public funds. The charge or inuendo of that letter is false. There is no similarity between the misappropriations of the old regime and anything done or attempted to be done by the present. To illustrate : The appropriation for the opening and extension of Queen street $5,000 was all used, but not one dollar of it went toward that object, under the old. Under the new, for instance, the appropriation for waterworks at the leper settlement not proving quite sufficient, the Minister deemed it proper to supplement that and complete the work by using a part of the appropriation for "general expenses of the leper settlement," This was opposed by the Auditor General. The public will no doubt decide that whatever may be the strict letter of the law, there was no violation or attempted violation of its spirit or intent by the Minister. But the whole letter is made up of inuendo and so is false. Let Mr. "One Who Knows" bring forward the work accomplished by this Ministry and leave it for the country to judge between those who ask for a trial and they who have been tried. Another Who Knows. An x-Attorney-General's Opinion. Mr. Editor: Rumors have been afloat lately that Mr. Rosa has been hinting from time to time to the natives, that those who had presumed to put down the late riot would soon be brought to justice. This circumstance probably gave additional significance to Mr. Rosa's assertion at the mass meeting of the Opposition, that his party would never rest until they had driven a certain obnoxious element among the foreigners out of the country. The question arose at once who was included in Mr. Rosa's prescribed list and what constituted in his opinion an "obnoxious element," with an occasional query perhaps as to whether or not the obnoxious element would drive at Mr. Rosa's bidding. The following open letter from Mr. Rosa published in Hawaiian last Saturday in the National Herald, throws some light on" these questions. The letter was written in response to another addressed to him in the same paper and explains itself. After making some comment on Mr. Kane, Mr. Rosa thus continues: "'As to your request for my legal opinion concerning the shooting of those seven persons who were killed on the 30th of last July, and of the four who were wounded, I can answer without hesitation, they (those who killed them) are guilty of the crime of murder and manslaughter, and their names are all known. And the public may perhaps understand why I asked the Ministers in the case of Loomens and Wilcox if martial law was proclaimed, and they answered, no. Within the few days subsequent to the riot of the 30th of July it was repeated y the lawyers of the city, and by others who knew, that some of those who shot and killed were very clearly guilty of the crime of murder as stated above. And I believe this will not be denied. I am sorry that you, "true Hawaiian," have publicly asked for my legal opinion during these days lest it should be said that this is to excite prejudice. Perhaps this will suffice, and don't you ask for my opinion again on this matter in public. I will tell you the truth in regard to the good of . he public if you will come to mv office. A. Rosa." Honolulu, Jan. 18, 1890. The editor of the Herald comments editorially on Mr. Rosa's letter as follows, and throws still more light on the subject in hand : "Our readers will remember a portion of the article of 'True Hawaiian,' a correspondent whose thoughts we published yesterday relating to those who shot down Hawaiians on the 30th of July, 1889, without having any authority for so doing. "We have seen that Kane and Achi are with the Reform party, and if that party succeeds it is very certain that the Cabinet will be continued in office, and they two, with Kaauhai, will help to keep them there. In that event we see that those shooters will not at all be tried for murder or manslaughter. But in case the National party are victorious, the Government will be urged to take up the case and prosecute them immediately. Therefore, this is the time for the nation to deliberate, and when the day of election comes, pass those fellows aside, for the wound will not be healed by them, for the time is very near at hand when the real rights of all native Hawaiians will he vindicated upon their own soil. The National party is the party that will save us, but those others are they who will utterly destroy us." There are two important and unpleasant conclusions to be drawn from all this and which stare one in the face whether or 'no. The first is that the natives must be wrought up into an utterly unreasonable 'frame of mind when a prominent and professedly conservative leader among them can, with the popular approval, advance such doctrines, and the editor of a public newspaper finds it necessary to promise the populace, as a reward for voting the Opposition ticket, that the citizens who suppressed the riot in question would be proceeded against for murder! The second is that there are foreigners among us who are making use of or countenancing appeals to race prejudice tor political purposes with the intention, no doubt, of allaying these prejudices when their ends are served. Any reasonable man knows, however, that all the bad blood stirred up by these appeals must run its course, and will, notwithstanding all attempts to cool it down by those who stirred it up, find expression in many ways in the legislation and administration of the country if placed in power. If the Opposition resort to such appeals to get into power they must keep them up to stay there as Walter Murray Gibson and this coufltry.Iearned to their cost. Citizen. Jmdioii ales. Br J. F.
