neath of an Old Resident.

At 1890 a. m. yesterday, Mr.. Thomas A.
Cummins, an old resident on these islands,
died at his home at Waimanalo, on this
island. The deceased was SO years of age
last January, and had resided at Wanna
nalo for over Oyears. He leaves two sons,
Thomas and the Hon. John A. Cummins,
both of whom are living at the old home
stead. For some years past the deceased
had been confined to the house, and his
death was not unexpected. The Rev. Mr..
Macintosh, who only returned the pre-
vious day from attending at the funeral Of
the late Mr.. Unna at Hama, Maui, oficiated
at the funeral of the deceased, which took
place at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Be
sides the relatives and friends living in the
vicinity, Mr.. A. J. Cartwright and Mr..
Allen Herbert were present at the burial
service. The remains were inferred on the
estate near the house that had been the
home of the deceased for so many years.
The flags in the city were at half-mast, in
honor of the deceased.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

We refer our readers to our page
supplement for full particulars of for
eign news. The details are very in
teresting. 1t will be seen that the
Afghan question has reached the
stage when actual hostilities between
England and Russia cannot be much
longer delayed, and the Alameda
may bring US news of formal dec
laration of war. England never was
so well prepared for war as at the
present time. One effect of this quar-
rel with Russia may be the extension
of the Sultan's authority in Africa,
by replacing Tarkish troops for the
British forces in Soudan. Lord
Wolseley has been summoned to
Cairo to advise the Government
India. Meanwhile the Russians have
attacked the Afghans and captured
one of their frontier towns, and the
Ameer holds very properly that war
has already commenced. Lord Duff
ferin takes the same view of it, and
is hurrying up military stores and
supplies through Bolan pass.
General Graham is driving Osman
Digma's forces before him in Soudan,
but the climate is the worst enemy
the British have to contend with.
The French want to make peace
with China, and the japanese
threaten that if the Chinese forces
are not withdrawn from Corea, and
the independence of the Chosen Gov
eminent fully recognized, together
with Japan's sovereignty over the
Loo ChOO archipelago, common cause
| will be made with France. Mean
while the British have taken posses
sion of Corean islands which domi-
nate the Russian naval stations on
the Pacific, and are certifying them.
China, as suZerain, sanctions this oc-
cupation.
| AS result of these complications
there has been a money panic in
| London, and prices of everything eX-
| cept cotton has advanced in the great
centers of trade.
The war in Central America has
resulted disastrOusly to Barries, who
with his son, have been killed either
in battle or by assassination. The
rebels retain possession of the 18th.
mus of Panama, and hold the Ameri
can Consul and several citizens
prisoners. The Navy Department has
shipped force of $50 men, or under
to vindicate the honor of the Ameri
can flag.

san Francisco Dramatic Company.

san Francisco Dramatic Company.
Last Saturday afternoon the San Fran
cisco Dramatic Company gave a matinee
performance of Fanchon, the Cricket ,"
before a weIl-fIled house. There was a
large attendance of ladies and children, and
all were delighted with the play itself and
the good acting.
In the evening the thrilling play of the
@ Streets of New York - was given before a
acters was very good, and the whole play
was rendered with much care and attention
to details. In the opening act, the leading
incidents of which are taken from Charles
Reeds novel of - Hard Cash" Messrs.
Stetson, Rutledge and Simms did some excel
lent work. As Aida Bloodgood, heartless,
ambitious society girl of New York, Miss
Ingham was very successful, and her proto-
type, Lucy Fairweather Miss Young, came
in for fair share of applause. Miss Heath
and Mr.. Simms, as Mr.. and Mrs. Puffy,
kept the audience in laughter whenever
was quite realistic, and ELECTED loud applause.
The curtain dropped on the usual spec tacle
Of the punishment of guilt and reward of
virtue, and the audience dispersed well
pleased with the evenings entertainment.
Tonight the classic play of ''Ingomar,
the Barbarian, " will be given. This is the
first time the company have attempted a
| purely classic play, and we may look to see
| it carefully and well performed.

provement," and a direction to 'ftran-
silent commercial interests" which
the most sanguine "old IDENTIFY of
Honolulu never dreamed of as being
within the range of possibility. And
now, when they find themselves
swept along by the rapid current OF
the new forces which they cannot
control, they would prefer to sink the
Alameda and Mariposa, and go back
to the old days of tranquil isolation
and personal ascendancy. The Press
| represents the fossils of Hawaiian
| commerce, however, and is not in
sympathy with the younger men OF
this community who are fully alive
! to the splendid possibilities which the
enterprise, courage, and public spirit
of Colonel Spreckels have thrown
| open to them.

OBJECTIONS TO A FREE PORT.


One has some difficulty in under
standing the narrow-minded and OBJ
structive spirit which dictated the
article in Saturdays Press on the
free port question. 1t is opposed, first,
because the ADVERTISER advocates
it; second, because it would advance
transient commercial interests at the
expense of the country's internal de-
velopment;" and third, because the
Oceanic Steamship Company does
the largest share of our shipping
trade. In other words, the Press and
the petty clique which stands behind
it, would be content to see the COM
merce of the world drift past our
port rather than provide facilities for
shipping lest, peradventure, Colonel
Spreckels should derive any advan-
tage therefrom. If there were to be
any kind of special favor conferred
upon the great commercial house of
which that gentleman is founder and
head, there might be some colorado
excuse for this opposition; but mas
much as Mr.. Wilder Mr.. Foster, and
other local shipOwners would be
placed on precisely the same footing
as regards port charges and dockage,
we fail to perceive the point of the
objection.
Furthermore, one would think from
the tone and point of the Press arti-
Gle that the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany was a source of harm, instead
of being the very making of Homo
lulu trade; that it tended to inn
poverish rather than to enrich the
city; and that it Disseminated against
Hawaiian interests instead of nursing
and advancing these in every posi-
BILE way. What would be the condi-
ton of Honolulu and these islands
to-day, let US ask, but for the intelli-
gent enterprise and bold investment
of capital by the very gentleman who
is eovertly assailed by the Press
clique as public enemy? Withdraw
the Oceanic Company's vessels, and
what tourists would visit this coun-
try and spend their money among
its storekeepers and for the benefit
of interisland trade, transportation
companies, and hotels? What would
become of our fruit industry which
has been developed by the Oceanic
Company, and is destined, under the
same fostering care, to become a great
source of wealth to these islands? In
short, remove Colonel Spreckels and
all his works from this Kingdom,
and what would be left of its trade
and ''internal development" 1t
would be easy to sum it all up, but
we refrain, because this would exhibit
the aggregated failure of the men
who controlled the destinies of these
islands for all the years since the
whites obtained power, up to the
very recent time when Colonel
Spreckels appeared upon [the scene,
and gave an impetus to "internal i'm

The Kings Return.

His Majesty the King, with the dis
tinguished gentlemen who accompanied him
on his visit last week to Maui, returned on
Saturday by the Kinau, reaching this port
about $50 o'clock a. m. As the Kinau en-
tered the harbor a salute of twenty-one
guns was fired from the battery of breech-
loading field pieces, under command of
Brigade Major Hayley. A crowd of people
we're on the wharf to welcome the King and
his party.
During their visit to Maui the Royal party
were taken over the Spreckelsville planta-
ton, and entertained by Mr.. Geo. G. Will
liams, the manager. Afterwards they took
the train to Wailuku, and were entertained
at Waikapu by Mr.. W. H. Cornwell, and
again by Mrs. Everett, wife of the sheriff of
Maui. The entire trip was a very pleasant
one and much enjoyed by all.

Severe Accident.

Last Saturday night, a young native girl
named Akahi mounted her horse to ride
home from the merry-go-round, and before
she was fairly in the saddle the animal
bolted with her, and dashed at furious
pace through Queen street into Nuuanu,
and up the latter street, narrowly missing
running over several people on the way.
The girl kept her seat until the horse
dashed down the small hill above Beretania
street, when she was thrown off. The horse
went up the avenue while a number of peo-
pie went to the assistance of the girl. Upon
examination it was found that the bones of
her left leg were broken between the ankle
and knee. She was carried into. a store near
by, and medical assistance was sent for.
Before any physician arrived, however, her
friends took her to her home, where her in
juries were attended to.

The funeral of the late August Unna took
place at Hama, Maui, on Wednesday, the 18th
instant The burial services were conducted
a the late residence of the deceased by Rev.
Alexander Macintosh, of the Anglican
Church. At the church, to which the re-
mains were taken a the conclusion of the

nounced an eloquent eulogy of the deceased
who for many years, had distinguished him
self as a warm friend of the Hawaiians. Rev.
Mr.. Macintosh afterwards addressed the
children in Hawaiian. telling them what
the deceased had done for them. At the
grave, which had been dug on a hill over
looking the Hama estate, the large body of
mourners present, comprising the whole Of
the people living in the Hama district, be-
sides many from the adjoining districts,
were deeply affected.

friend, and his loss be felt by them for many

 Family and Their Various Glasses.
 Hon. William Maxwell Evarts, who will be New York's next representative in the United States Senate, graduated from Yale college in 1887, his classmates including Chief Jus tice Morrison R. Waite, Edwards Pierrepont, Professor Benjamin Silliman, whose death occurred here last week, Rev. NJ \. Morris of West Hartford, Rev. Orlo D. Hine of Leba- non, General William Russell of New Haven and Samuel J. Tilden. Among the promi- nent men in college at that time were ex- Governor Richard D. Hubbard, Professor J. D. Whitney, Francis Wharton, Rev. Increase N. Tarbox of Boston, United States Senator Henry L. Dawes of Massachusetts, Robbins Battell of Norfolk, Henry c. Deming, Dr. F. w. Ellsworth and Professor John Brocklesby of Trinity college.
 The name of Evarts has been well known at Yale for many years The father has been followed at college by several sons, among them Allen W. Evarts '69, Sherman Evarts '81 and Maxwell Evarts '94. One of the sons went to Harvard. Evarts, senior, is member of the Yale corporation and is prominent feature of the annual alumni dinner where he always makes strong Yale speeches, al- though they are sometimes long.
 One of Allen Evarts' classmates was John c. Enc, the wooden spoon man of his class, and considered one of the best of good fel- lows. He was of Evarts bosom friends
 The festivities attending the presentation of the wooden spoon to Enc at Music Hall were
 of the most brilliant character. A more ele- gant audience was never assembled in the
 place and the young millionaire was lavish in his efforts to make the scene one of trans cendent social interest The secret number on the programme of the exercises was ''The Perfect Brick Not 8 soul in the brilliant assemblage of wealth, beauty and culture was allowed to know beforehand what the l number was really to be in it's development Of course the most intense interest was ex-

 lows.
 GALWAY, Jan. 20.-Thomas Parry, who murdered his sweetheart, Miss Alicia Burns, step-daughter of Galway hote1-keeper, in November last, was hanged here to-day. Parry was engaged to be married to Miss Burns, but she broke off the engagement. He travelled over one hundred miles for the purpose of committing the deed. He reached Galway in the night and stayed at another hotel until morning, when he went to seek Miss Burns and found her with her sister He asked her if she was still determined to give him up, as she had written, and said he wished to hear it from her own lips. She replied, "Yes." He then said, 'We will see," and drawing revolver shot her through the heart and then shot himself, but without wounding himself seriously When arrested he admitted what he had done and said: s'I showed her no mercy and expect none." The defence at the trial insanity, but the weight of the medical testimony was against this The jury brought in verdict or gull ty, with strong recommendation to mercy n account of the exasperation arising from Miss Burns letters and, added one of the
