Complimentary Party.

Mr.. VIM. G. Irwin gave party last even
ing at his beau tiful country home, Waikiki,
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus. Spreckels
and the young ladies of their party, Miss
Dore and Miss Ivers: The invitations were
principally confined to young people, Mr..
Twins object being to give his guests as
enjoyable time as possible.
The house, which is admirably adapted for
entertaining on a large scale, was rendered
still more so upon this occasion. The lanai
of the building fronting on the sea was con-
nected with the conservatory by a spacious
canvas lanai, which was brilliantly illumi-
mated, and decorated with palms, ferns and
flowers. In this canvas addition seats were
provided for the guests. The conservatory was
great attraction in itself, as it contains
many rare and valuable ferns and choice
plants. 1t was lit up by brilliant gas jet
inclosed in glass vase, over and around
which fountain Of water played.
The lanai of the residence was devoted to
dancing, which was kept up to an advanced
hour. This apartment, which is spacious
and we'll ventilated, was deliciously cool
despite the high range of temperature
Professor Berger's quadrille band furnished
the music, which, it is needless to say, was
admirably rendered. unique feature of
the party was the dance programmes, which
were of beautiful design and finish, each one
being ornamented with natural moss and
fern in tasteful and artistic style. These
cards were retained as pleasing souvenirs of
the occasion.
The main building, billiard room and
grounds were brilliantly illuminated, about
one thousand Chinese and Japanese lanterns
of various sizes, shapes and designs being
used, in addition to numerous torches The
effect was very fine. On first sighting Mr..
Twins residence at Waikiki bridge, going
from the city, the place seemed to be blaze
of light. A nearer view, however brought
out the beauty of the details of the illumin-
alton.
The house was thrown open to the guests
who thoroughly enjoyed its many attrac-
tons. The sea view from Mr.. Twins place
is superb, and the balmy night breeze, as
it swept down from the mountains in the
background, and rippled the sparkling water
which broke in tiny wavelets on the coral
sands in front of the lanai, was grateful and
refreshing to all. The billiard room, which
is without an equal on these Islands, and
has few equals anywhere in any private resi-
dence, was an attraction to the few non
dancing men of the party. Supper was laid
in the reception room, and was partaken of
by the numerous company near midnight,
but refreshments were served in another
apartment during the evening. Altogether,
this was the most enjoyable event of the
entire season in our social world.

their endeavors that had been vouch-
safed by God to the ancient people.
The same evening the Ministers, in
company with II. r. 81. the Govern
ess, and a company of ladies and gen
tlemen, were the guests at dinner OF
Judge and Mrs. Lyman. The Minis
terial party returned on board the
Yamashiro Maru at a late hour.
II. r. II. the Governess of Hawaii
went on board at the same time.
Commissioner Inouye and his party
returned to Hilo by the steamer XII
nau about midnight, when they also
got ON board the Japanese steamer.
At daylight on the 18th instant the
YamashirO Maru steamed out of HilO
bay, and again ran down the beauti-
full cultivated coast of Hilo, Hama
kuaand Kohala on her way to Kai
lua, where she arrived at p. m.
At thisSpoint, the favorite abode Of
Hawaiian Kings, Ministers Gibson
and Neumann went ashore, and met
their Majesties the King and Queen.
After a short stay the Royal party
came on board, and the steamer got
under way again, and steaming
slowly all night, arrived off Maalaea
bay, landing at daybreak on Friday
morning, the 18th instant. Here
short stay was made in order to com
municate with parties at Waikiki,
and at 1870 a. M, the Yamashiro
Maru started on her way for the port
of Honolulu, where she arrived at 6
p. M, with the Royal party on board
all we'll.
We understand that their Males
ties and the Ministers are delighted
with the trip. The admirable quail
ties of the vessel, with the unfailing
cOurtesies of Capt. Mailman, along
with fine weather, have made the
excursion altogether a pleasure ex-
cursion. And we also learn that
Commissioner Inouye is well salts
fed, with one or two exceptions, with
what he has observed in the condition
of his countrymen as laborers on
plantations.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL SCHEME.

1t has been we'll and truly said that
when an inter-ocean canal has been
opened either through the Isthmus of
Panama or by way of Lake Nicar-
aqua, it will give the North Pacific
coast, for all practical purposes of
commerce, frontage to the Atlantic.
The impetus it would give to the trade
and industries of the Pacific Coast
would simply be enormous, and these
Islands would necessarily participate
in the movement, because they would
become a rendezvous for shipping,
mercantile and national, which the
development of commerce would
necessarily bring to these waters.
United States Senator John E.
Miller recently addressed the mercan-
tile bodies of San francisco on the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the rival
canal schemes. His address was a
very elaborate statement of the case
between Great Britain and the
United States, arising out of the
treaty in question, and a clear
and lucid exposition of the bene-
fits derivable from the construction of
canal across Nicaragua by the
United States.
At the conclusion of his address.
the meeting, which was eminently
representative, resolved 'TThat the
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests of San Francisco here represented
fully appreciate the Importance of the
speedy construction Of the Nicaraguan
canal as necessity for the develop
ment of our Pacific Coast, and urge
upon our Senators and Representa-
tives united and earnest action on
behalf of the Nicaraguan treaty now
pending
We have thus an expression of
opinion in favor of the Nicaragua
Canal scheme from the leading bust.
ness men of California, which is GER
tain to carry weight with it in
Congress. Senator Miller is Chair
man Of the Senate Committee on
Commerce, and this resolution will
greatly strengthen his hands. AS we
have said already, this enterprise con-
Germs this Kingdom very closely. Its
completion would undoubtedly give
a great impetus to our agriculture,
manufactures and trade.

wisdom and inspiration. Words from his
lips are as precious as pearls, and are
caught and carried along from one to an
other until they have gone the rounds;
He is heavy, broad-shouldered man OF
SO, with iron-gray hair and mustache;;
His eyes are gray and his mouth and
chin and nose are large, and indicative OF
frmness and resolution. He dresses very
plainly, although his clothes are made by
the most expensive tailor in town, and be
always carries walking-stick. he speaks
quickly, and almost Invariably follows
each remark with the inquiry "Huh?"
Being bachelor, he has valet, who at
tends to his wants.
He is a member of the stock exchange,
but is rarely seen on the floor, and is not
down town even half so much as one
would suppose he would be. He goes
out walking and driving great deal, and
is often seen in Central park. Cammack
is man of exemplary habits. At one
time he was an inveterate smoker. He
smoked the strongest kind of cigars and q
great number of them. A year and
half ago his physician told him that his
health would be improved if he smoked
less He never smoked cigar after that.
The mans will is so strong that he will do
anything he makes up his mind to do. He
is a southerner. He was born in Ken

He subsequently came north and started
iIras a cotton broker in New York. 1t
1t was not long before he got to dealing
in stocks, and he was successful.
He is now worth $4,000. 900 or $1,000,

next to unerring. He works the market
against Jay Gould, and Gould does not
seem to be able to entrap him in any way.
He is always posted on everything, and
there is scampering when he makes
move. He is gruff, blunt, and to the
point, and has mind of his own. He
can form his own opinions. That is the
great secret of his success.

SATURDAY = july 18th.
INCREASE OF THEFTS.

There has been a notable increase
of thefts Of late, particulars of which,
however, have not generally been
made public in order to facilitate
police detection. But so far as results
are concerned, every detail might as
well have been published to the
world. Now, we do not wish to be
considered captious or fault finding,
but we do say, in view Of all the facts,
that it is surprising there has not
been an arrest and conviction once in
a while.
This community is peculiarly stu
ated in regard to what may be termed
natural safeguards against the crimi-
nal class. Every stranger who ar
rives is or should be under police sur
veillance until his responsibility is
established beyond a doubt. The rec
ord of visitors who are offenders
against law and order in other coun-
tries should be procured, and when
certain classes of offenses are COM
mitted here, this should guide the
police to the proper quarter. In other
words, men of the criminal class who
come here, bring with them a repu-
tation which should of itself do half
the work of police detection. This is
the great aid to detective work in
large cities. The nature of the crime
points very distinctly to the criminal,
who is usually "given away" by his
associates when the detectives get
close OF the track.
But detectives always locate and
watch the fences" and by so doing
they manage to recover most of the
stolen goods whether the thief is
caught or not. Now, there must be
fences" in this city, where sneak
thieves dispose of the clothing, jew
elry, etc., stolen by them from time
to time. III no other way can they
get rid of their booty. Money, which
is occasionally stolen, is, of course,
difficult to trace. but there should be
no difficulty whatever in running
down sneak thieves who enter bed
rooms and carry off bulky clothing
and other articles easy of Identified
ton.
We do not know precisely where
the blame lies for the total immunity
which thieves apparently enjoy here,
but we hope there will be an awaken
ing to the Importance of police activ-
ity. Heretofore this city enjoyed the
enviable reputation of being abso-
lutely free from Offenses of this class.
It was perfectly safe to retire at night
leaving doors and windows unfast-
ened, or wide open for that matter,
It has now become an absolute con-
dition of safety to lock everything up,
and depend more upon bolts and bars
than upon the honesty of the popula-
ton. Isolated as we are from the
world, with no means of getting out
of the island save by water, the
chance of detection and capture is
greater here than in almost any other
place, yet no capture is recorded.

PHYLLOXERA-.A TIMELY
WARNING,

The attention of persons planting or
about to import vine cuttings from
California is called to the fact that
Professor Hilgard, of the State Uni
versity, has been experimenting with
Phylloxera in a way that may be-
come disastrous to the vines planted
along the slopes of the Contra Costa
range fronting on San Francisco bay,
and mayhap also to the new vine
yards in Livermore Valley. 1t is
therefore of the utmost importance to
refrain from obtaining rooted vines or
cuttings from any nursery Or vine
yard in the neighborhood of Berkeley
University until the result of Profess
sor Hilgard's experiments in the
propagation of phyIloxera has been
ascertained. If this pest be intro
duced into these Islands it will put
an end, for years to come. to the at
tempt to establish grape culture on a
large scale.
1t should be explained that Mr.. E.
w. Hilgard is Professor of Agrfcul-
ture in the California State Univer-
sIty, where he has established an ex-
perlmental nursery, in which almost
every variety of plant and shrub
adapted to the climate of middle,
southern and northern California is
to be found crowding each other. In
sheltered nook of this nursery he
has established a phylloxera preserve,
and amuses himself watching the de-
velopment and distribution of this
enemy of the grape vine and of man
Kind. This learned Professor thus re-
ports progress in his experiment:
We have nursed at the University little
private experimental plot that is infected.
The coming out of the winged in
sect through which the infection is spread
far and wide on the wings of the wind,
usually happens in about five or six weeks.
This year $3.50, with summer rains, it has
been through in three months and half.
For nearly four months that lovely insect
was coming out of the earth and being
spread by the wind.
Ihls Is Professor Hilgard's own re-
port, and it suggests an inquiry as to
his mental condition, which, as a
State officer engaged in a work of
such superlative public mischief,
should not be overlooked. Just what
the Board of Regents will do in the
matter it is impossible to say, as the
Regents of the State University of
California have ever been a peculiar
body, great upon trivialities and ex-
tremely little upon essentials. Strain
ing at gnats and swallowing camels
has always been a way this Board of
Regents have had, but we fancy the
Hilgard phylloxera camel will stick
in their threats. In any event, it is
not safe to import any grapevine cut
tings, rooted vines or seed from the
Coast at present, when we find the
Agricultural Department. busily en-
gagged propagating and spreading in
fiction far and wide on the wings of the
wind" by the winged phylloxera in
sect. 1t may pay the State of California
to maintain department to ruin it's
wine industry, but it certainly will
not pay this Kingdom to run the
risk of infection from that source.

Probably the best days record in ocean
travelling has just been made by the Etru-
ria, on her passage from New York to
Queenstown, making the trip in days,
IL hours and 25 minutes. This is claimed
to be the fastest passage by any steamer
on her maiden trip. The daily runs, in
sea miles, were $50, 426, Ala, 443, AS
and $50, the first and last days being only
part of the twenty-fonr hours. The great
est run, AS knots, was equal to SIS
statute miles, making an average speed
OF 21.37 statute miles per hour for that
one day and an average speed through
the entire passage of 1874 statute miles.
