20 Luso Hawaiiano."

In No. 90, O LaS0 Ha7Oaifano an
uounccs that, as at the present time,
many Portuguese may feel disposed to
become citizens of the Kingdom, it
will be well to let them know all about
the principal men of the country, with
whom they will have to deal, and it
consequently promises to begin in its
next number, a series of short biogra-
plies, written without papers, but
telling the truth with impartiality." AS
telling the truth in this country is
sometimes not absolutely agreeable to
those concerned, some fun may be ex-
pected from this new departure of our
Portuguese neighbor. The Lmso has
this time most important editorial on
the ominous fact that, within few
months, over 1900 families terminate
their contracts, and will be thrown out
of employment. If labor or facilities
of settling on their own account are
not forthcoming, it must be expected
that all these people will either be re-
duced to solicit public charity, or to
leave the country, which will then be
deprived of very valuable class OF
laborers. The Ln0 gives its readers
some very sound, judicious and pru
dent advice in the matter, speaking
especially against the tendency of the
Portuguese of rashly leaving the plan
tations in search of adventures. The
whole number is quite good, and Mr.
Marques tells us that owing to the con
stantly increasing patronage of adver
tisements, and to be able to give suf
hcient reading matter to his readers
he is obliged to permanently enlarge
the paper to six columns, which is {
certain sign of success.

this connection we are advised that the
Hawaiian trade requires frst.class
goods in all lines, and this firm takes
pains that they ship no other grade.
The firm at San Francisco also trans
acts a general commission and purchas-
ing business, and solicits consignments,
as also orders for the purchase Of goods
suitable for the Hawaiian trade Mr.
M. w. McChesney, the head of the
house, who resides in this city, and
who has attained the remarkably ripe
age of 81 years, maintains apparently
all the vigor Of bis earlier days, and is
able to give personal attention to most
of the details of this large and growing
business, the foundation of which he
laid some half dozen years ago. He is
assisted here by Robert W., a son,
more particularly In the purchase of
groceries, provisions, etc, depart
ment in which he has had the benefit
Of several years practical experience.
H. N. McChesney, another son, who
has charge OF the Honolulu branch,
has, by his excellent management Of the
business at that end, materially adj
vanced the firms interests, and aided
in placing it where it now is, on a
solid foundation. Mr.. H. N, arriving
recently from Honolulu, left some days
ago for the East, which section he visits
not only for needful recreation, but
tor the purpose of enlarging, somewhat
the business of the house. We concur
with the DAILY Honolulu PRESS ir
its personal well wishes for Mr. H. N
McChesney, the son and junior partner
and for pleasant visit and safe re

Burned at Sea.

The American ship Kate Daven-

wrecked crew of the Norwegian bark
Jalsaljarer, bound from Newcastle for
Honolulu. The Jalsaljarer sailed from
Newcastle March goth with full car

the morning of April I4th on the
morning of that day smoke was seen
issuing from the hold Of the vessel,
and the matches were Immediately re-
moved to locate the fire. AS soon as
the matches were removed, an immense
volume of smoke burst out, driving
the men from the vicinity of the hatch
ways
For nine days after the fire was dis
covered, the captain, officers and crew
worked manfully to extinguish the
burning coal On the ninth day ii
was discovered that no human power
could save the ill-fated vessel, and the
crew took to the open boats, trusting
to some passing vessel seeing and res
cuing them On the night of the day
the vessel was abandoned, while the
boats were still in sight of her, she wa:
seen to be one mass Of flames, and at
ter Burning brightly throughout the
night disappeared toward morning
The shipwrecked people drifted abou
in the open boats for nine days and ;
half running short of water and pro
visions in the meantime. On thC
morning of the tenth day, sail wa!

that it afforded him great pleasure
to be the medium through which
these tokens of bravery and humanity
had been sent by the President The
recipients had shown themselves to be
his friends in double sense. Not only
when they joined TO him in great good
will, but also in that they we're willing to
risk their lives to preserve those OF his
countrymen. They saw those men
were in danger, that they we're about to
lose their lives on the reefs surround
ing the Islanders home, and without
one thought of reward they had gone
to the rescue and brought them safe
ashore. Such conduct would not be
admired by the speaker alone, but by
the world, and when the President of
the United States was put in possession
Of the facts he decided that these
medals should be sent to the rescuers
as a token of his, and his country's
appreciation Of their services. These
medals they would value not for their
intrinsic value alone but as a constant
reminder that the Government OF the
United States had recognized their
courage and bravery
Chas. Maikai, one of the the recipi-
ents responded briefly for himself and
his companions. They had rescued
these men without thought of any
reward. AS the President of the
United States had done them the
honor to send them medals, they
thanked him.
The medals are Of silver, about the
size of silver dollar, and bear on one
side the bust of Liberty and on the
other suitable inscription setting forth
the reason of their having been be-

Humanity and Courage Rewarded.

AT noon yesterday Immediately after
the adjournment of the Legislature,
His Excellency the Minister of For
eign Affairs presented to the five
Hawaiians who rescued eight per-
sons from the wreck of the "ties-
perian" at Kahului some little
time ago, the silver medals sent to
them through the United States Min
lister Resident by the President
The presentation took place in the
private office of the Minister of FL
nance in the presence of the U. 5.
Minister Resident, His Majesty's
Chamberlain on the part of His Maj
esty, and members of the Legislature,
In making the presentation His Excel
lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs
said that he was happy in having the
honor to present to the five Hawalians
the handsome gift Of the President Of
the United States. This distinguished
honor was conferred in recognition OF
a brave and noble act, Those whom
he addressed had found their fellow
men in danger and distress, and at the
risk OF their own lives had rescued
them. They had not done so in the
hope of being rewarded, but in answer
TO the needs Of those whose lives were
in danger. Their noble conduct was a
great contrast to the time in the darE
history of the Islands when such acts
were unknown. These medals were
an honor to these men and to thelI
country, and the recognition by the
President Of the United States Of then
noble conduct should prove to all tina
that great country was watchtul OF al
that concerned the welfare OF its cltl
zens throughout the world.
His Excellency then presented th'
medals each being accompanied with
$40 gold piece.

ADangerous Ruler.

The Worlds NLondon cable of the 22d says
Notwithstanding the official denials at the Rus
sian Embassies at Berlin, Vienna and here in
London, the statement that the Gar has killed
one of his Chamberlains, Mr.. de Reutern, either
with saber or pistol, is corroborated by advices
received from st. Petersburg. Some time after
the termination of the Franco German war the
Grand Duke Alexis, brother of the present Gar
contracted a secret m irrlage with Mile. de Reu-
tern, a niece of Baron de Reutern, who at the
time was the Czir's Minister of Finance. The
Duke withdrew with his young wife from the
court Not only the late Gar, but especially the
present Emperor, was furious with the Grand
Duke, and Alexander H. decreed the secret mar
rage to be null and void. Alexis, however, took
heed of these measures, but continued to reside
with Baron de Rentern's niece, who bore three
children. At length the Grand Dukes attach
ment appeared to grow colder and he commenced
to neglect her. 1t was during one of his frequent
absences that Count Peter ShOuvalotf visited the
Young mother and had prolonged interviews with
her on behalf of the Russian Imperial family.
The outcome was that neither Nine. de Reutern
nor her children ever saw the tickle Grand Duke
again.
De Reutern, the gentleman mentioned as having
been killed. brother of the young lady, and
had received the post of Chamberlain for his sis
ter's compaisance in obeyiug the late Empernr's
behest. 1t is believed here that young De Reu.
tern waiting to see the Gar, and that in con-
sequence of the hot weather he had unbuttOned
his heavy Chamberlain's uniform. The monarch,
suddenly entering the room, seems to have found
him in state, and probably attrlbutlng 1t to the
fact that the young man was presenting on his
quasi relationship to the Imperial family,
sured him in the bitter manner which is customary
to him. De Reutern, stung by the Imperial in
suit, most likely answered in a disrRspectfal man
ner, and thus provoked one of those terrible fits
of anger which are so dreaded by all who APP
proach the Car.
