The Sandwich Islands.

Business in Honolulu, and on
the various Islands is very dull at
present. The land owners of the
country, as well as the govern
ment itself, do much to retard the
advancement Of agricultural pur-
suits, in that they fatty refuse TO
sell any lands, save at the most ex-
orbitant prices. The cause ofsuch
action is based upon the proposed
treaty between that country and
ours. They conclude that should
the treaty be effected their lands
will double in value. The popu-
lation Of al the islands combined,
both of natives of the soil and for
eigners, is not supposed to be
more than about half as large as it
was a few years ago, there being
at this time not more than $4,000
souls all told.
The advance of civilization has
worked that destiny to the natives
which the Indians of North Amer
lea have so fatally realized. Slow
ly, yet surely, they fall back from
the approach of industry with
thinned and demoralized ranks.
King Kalakua is thought much
of by his subjects, he is Just as So
ciable as before he wore the QiId-
ed. crown. His greatest fault is
his fondness for liquor which it is
said often browns his better senses.
The markets at Honolulu are in
a very poor condition, that is
speaking of their own products.
One gentleman drained the Kona

AN EARTHoUAKE AT SEA.
The ship Hamilton, of Boston,
arrived in that port on June 9th,
with cargo of sugar. Her com
mander, Captain Moss, states that
at 8 A. N. on June 14th, when in
latitude 10 deg. and longitude 81
deg, all on board felt the shock
of an earthquake, which lasted
fully ten minutes. During this
time there was a heavy sea run
ming, and in different places the
water appeared to revolve in cir
cles like a whirlpool. When the
disturbance first began, the sea
was quite smooth, but as the shock
increased in violence the water
became correspondingIy agitated,
terrifying those who were on deck
and arousing those who were
sleeping below. Suddenly the
vessel received a shock as if she
had grounded, and a peculiar
rumbliDg noise filed the air.
Simultaneously with the shaking
the sky assumed a dull, leaden
hue. The atmosphere was also
thick and hazy. During the con,
tinuance of the shock controloi
the vessel was completely lost
and the ship refused to obey the
helm. There was little, if any
breeze at the time, yet the vessel
was tossed about as though in the
midst of a gale. The captain
describes the upheaval of the
waves as similar to what would
occur if a series of heavy subma-
rine explosions had taken place.
The duration of the shock was
long enough to enable those who
were below to reach the deck and
witness the unusual sight. After
the disturbance bad subsided the
see became as calm as before.

FRoN a gentleman who arrived
yesterday from Buena Vista, Polk
County, we learned that a horri-
bic tragedy had just occurred at
that place. Some years ago a man
was convicted for some crime and
sentenced to the penitentiary un-
der the name of Byers. After his
release he went 10 Buena Vista
and got married under the name
Of Harrison. The couple lived
not happily together and several
separations ensued. Harrison, who
was probably fred with the fumes
Of liquor, went to his house last
Sunday morning, deliberately
drew a pistol and shot his wife.
He then placed it to his own head
and fred, killing himself instant
ly. Thus endeth the career of a
bad man and an unfortunate wo-
mon.-Portland Bulletin.

y QJEsUoS OF NATIoSALITY
DECrDED.---According TO a recent
telegram from Washington. tine
Attorney General has decided a
question Of nationality and natu-
ralization submitted by the De-
partmcnt Of State. The facts are.
\. Stakeholder a Prussian subject
by birth, emigrated to the United
States in 1913, and was natural
lied in st. Louis in 1854. When
he returned to Germany he took
with him his son, then four years
Iold, born in the United States.
The son is now twenty years old.
The question at issue arose as to
the son owing military service to
Germany. The Attorney General
comes to the conclusion that the
boy has two nationalities---one
natural and the other acquired.
The father returning TO Germany
and resuming allegiance, the son
partakes ofthe status Of the father,
being minor,and having enjoyed
the protection of the German
Government for the time being,
he owes it military duty, the obli-
cations being reciprocal. But
when the boy comes Of age he can
return to the United States as a
citizen, with all rights and privi-
leges as such, and would be eligi-
Bile even to the Presidency of the
United States.
