A CHINESE SERENADE.

Last evening about five O'Clock a
procession of Chinese, headed by
the dragon and attendant buffoons
gaily clad in colored pongees,
marched to the residence of His
Excellency G. L. Gulick, Minister
of the Interior, and serenaded that
gentleman and his amiable consort
with a fearful din of fireworks,
gongs and tom-toms. They planted
two gorgeous, silkcn banners-a
cylindrical one of rare beauty and a
shield-shaped one equally rich in
material-on either side of the front
entrance. The procession went
several times round the house, cut
ting up all sorts of capers, and the
happy Celestials were graciously re-
ceived by Mr.. and Mrs. Gulick.-

cart was also elaboFately decorated.
No. Engine, drawn by four fine bays,
had taken up position at the corner
of Fort and Hotel streets. Another
engine and also hose cart stood
further up Fort street towards Bere-
tania. No. Engine, though in use
some seven years, is in fine order
and the decorations, though not so
elaborate as those of No. =, were
exceedingly tasteful and well ar
ranged. Every engine, in short,
was dressed in full holiday costume.
The Chinese company's decorations,
besides several curious Mongolian
fancics, consisted partly of the ire
pressible and ubiquitous triangular
yellow dragon flags. An operator
from Mr.. J.J. Williams's photograph
establishment planted his camera in
front of No. Engine, at the start,
and subsequently took views of the
other three engines at different
points on the line of march. The
procession was led by two axemen
of each company. After the axe
men, aforementioned native
policeman fell in. Next to the
police officer came the Royal Ha-
waian Band. Chief Engineer Mott,
First Assistant Engineer M. ID.
Monsarrat, and other officers of the
brigade took position next to the
band. The companies followed in
rotation, Nos. /, =, 4, 5. The Re-
formatory School Band headed the
native company No. 4. Protection
Company No. l fell in between
No. and No. B, and formed Il
conspicuous feature of the parade.
A jolly Chinaman, wearing an enor-
nous mask representing the head of
lion, followed by some half-a-
dozen attendants bearing gorgeous
train representing the body and tail
of the monster; standard bearers
carrying aloft banners and flags;
companies of halberdiers and trident
bearers, were features of the China
mems (No. 81 turnout that created
a furore of excitement, particularly
among the small boys, all along the
route of the procession. The force
turned out altogether about $50
strong, and the whole display was
one of which more pretentious city
than Honolulu might well feel proud.

FATE OF the DOMITILA.
FOUND BOTTOM UP IN HAWAII
CHANNEL.

The steamer Kinau, that arrived
here yesterday morning from Wind
ward, brought the news of the lost
schooner Domitila having been seen
in Hawaii channel bottom up. The
schooner Waimalu ON her way from
this port to Hilo fell in with the
Domitila about ten miles off Kohala
point, Hawaii. One of the Waimalu's
boats was lowered and manned, and
the wreck, after being securely fast
ened, was taken in tow, but owing to
the light airs and strong currents the
prize was relinquished, the Waimalu
proceeding to Hilo, where she re-
ported the discovery of the Domjtila.
Meantime the latter vessel drifted to
the northward. The captain of the
Waimalu took the main-boom of the
capsized schooner to Hilo to verify
his report. When the Kinau arrived
at Hilo on her return trip, news of
the Domitila was received, and al
though Capt, King kept a sharp look
out nothing of the lost schooner was
seen. Last Friday morning the
schooner Kauikeaouli sighted the
wreck and towed it for two days and
one night, until within few miles Of
Honohina, when, the wind dying

the j. I. DowSETT CHANGED HANDS.

Negotiations for the sale of the
steamer Jas. L. Dowsett have been
brought to a close. The Pacific
Navigation Co. have bought the
steamer at private price. She
will be transferred to the p. N. Co.
on Monday next, and will be put on
a route to Maui Immediately. The
p. n. Co. have contracted to bring
to Honolulu all Paia and Hamakua-
Poke sugars at $3.50 per ton. A
bridge is about to be built at Paia
for the p. N. Co., and the Dowsett
is expected to make two trips a
week. She will probably be supple
mented by schooners.
Mr.. Wundenberg, by the sale of
the steamer, does not relinquish the
MOlokai route. He will run
schooners there until another steamer
is built for him. Feb. 2nd.

FIRE Al HONuAPO.

BY the steamer w. G. Hall that
arrived yesterday afternoon tidings
of disastrous fire were received.
Last Wednesday, about midday,
when the wind was blowing fiercely
from the south, fire was discover
ed in the cane fields of Honuapo
plantation, Kau, Hawaii. All hands
of that plantation united to fight the
flames, but owing to the violence of
the wind, the intlammability of the
cane and the intensity of the heat,
all attempts to check the flames were
without avail. One of the planta-
tons hands, Japanese, was suffo-
Gated and burnt to death while fight
ing the fire. Three acres of cane
were burnt to the ground in fifteen
minutes, and there being no more
cOmbustible material to leeward the
flames exhausted themselves. The
fire originated from spark blown
from trash burned on the premises,
the previous day. Jan. 23rd.

the FIREMEN'S PARADE.

At half-past nine O'Clock, this
morning, tiremen in their gay uni
forms were seen to be mastering on
and about the corner Of Fort and
Hotel streets and in front of the
bell-tower, the headquarters of the
fire brigade. In front of this build
ing was drawn up Engine No. 2, to
which were harnessed four magniti-
cent prancing grays. The Royal
Hawaiian Band and the Reformatory
School Band were also on. the
ground, playing series of stirring
pieces, as Bandmaster Berger's
'boys" only know how to play. The
engine was profusely decorated with
ferns, flowers and palm leaves. The
engineers and drivers took their
positions under beautifully con-
structed evergreen and floral arches,
and on each side of the engine an
anched canvas was fixed bearing the
inscription 1853-2-l8S6. The Hose

REAL ESTATE SALE.

The real estate sale by f. p.
Adams & Co., this noon, opened
with the sale of a lease of Halawa
Fishery for five years, which was
knocked down to Afoon at 1925 per
year. OF the Kalihi lots, which
were next offered, six had already
been disposed of private sale, and
the balance were withdrawn. With
reference to the Booth property, the
auctioneer stated that at the request
of certain intending purchasers, it
would not be offered in subdivisions
until Feb. 18th. The estate was
then offered as a whole, but failing
a satisfactory bid was withdrawn
until the before mentioned date. =

TINE ELECTIONS.
TRIUMPH OF THE GOVERNMENT PARTY.

From an early hour this morning
omnibuses and other vehicles have
been rolling to the polls, laden with
the "free and enlightened" Voting
was very brisk all morning, 1856
ballots having been cast by one
O'Clock this afternoon. There has
been no disturbance to speak about
in the Government yard, although it
is thronged with natives of both
sexes and many foreigners. The
Government party claimed to be
about five hundred ahead at noon,
when they probably had polled most
of their strength. Voters were still
keeping up a steady procession at
half-past one O'Clock. There was a
good deal of haranguing going on
from the mauhd verandah of the
Government building, but good
nature seemed to rule the throngs.
A telephone message from Kaneohe
states that the Independent candi-
dates are we'll ahead in the districts
on that side of the Island, particu-
larly mentioning Mr.. Rowell in
Waialua.- Feb. 3rd.

A COMING VISITOR.

Harper's Bazar says Mr.. Locke
Richardson is gradually making his
way further west toward the Sand
witch Islands. The cal says the
same gentleman is in San Francisco |;
that he has been invited to accept a
chair in the American School of
opera, as professor of elocution;
has cancelled all his engagements in
the East, and purposes to visit the
Sandwich Islands, and possibly
Australia, before his return to New
York. Possibly we may have a
series of entertainments from the
gentleman named during his stay
here.

away, The burden was lit go for the
safety of the Kauikcaouli, which
was. with the wreck drifting
shoreward. The captain of the
Kauikcaouli says there were
many sharks about the Domitiln,
some huge man-catcrs, and notwith-
standing the presence of the voraci-
Gus fish, the captain fastened line
around his waist, and then dived and
swan underneath the wreck, having
told the sailors beforehand If he was
attacked by II large shark to haul up
the line quickly. He did not stay
down long, however, but saw that
both masts were broken off near the
deck and fore and main sails gone,
but the jib sail was there. The an
chors were fast to the vessel, but the
anchor chains had all run out and
were dragging. After towing the
hull, as above stated, about twenty
sheets Of copper were taken off the
bottom to be brought here as II proof
of the find. The whaler Lydia saw
the Kauikcaouli towing the wreck,
and supposing it II whale, sent boat
off for particulars of the catch. The
Domitila cost exactly $4,000 when
she left the stocks, and was insured
for $1,000. Her crew consisted of
six: Capt. Sanford, an American;
one Portuguese, two Italians, one
Chinaman and one kanaka. She
also had II young Englishman on
board as a passenger. No steps have
as yet been taken to recover the hull
of the ill-intcd vessel.

FIRE IN THE SUBURBS.
HON. IL. A. wIDEMANN's HOUSE BURNED
DOWN.

DoNN.
About four O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the alarm was given for Il
fire in the residence of Hon. II. A.
Widcmann, on Beretania street, at
Punahou. The first engine to reach
the spot was No. 2, but the flames
had progressed so far that the saving
of the house was impossible. Before
the arrival of the brigade the inmates
of the house, assisted by neighbOrs,
managed to save most of the parlor
furniture and few priced articles,
including pictures of two daughters
of Mr.. Widemann who died in Ger
many, a fine oil painting of Kameha-
meha ", and an upright piano. The
house was burned to the ground, and
for a time Col. Judd's residence was
in danger from the sparks blowing
that way.
1t is supposed the fire originated
from children setting off tire-crackers
in a bedroom. One child in fright
crept under the bed, and had a
narrow escape for its life. Mr.. and
Mrs. Widemann were absent at
Waianae, and received the news of
the disaster by telephone. They
lose many household treasures, the
accumulations of years, which no
insurance policy can cover. The
total loss is estimated at S15, 200;
insurance of So, 900. in the Hamburg
Magdeburg Co., for which Mr.. A.
Jaeger is agent.
The new truck of the Hook 4
Ladder Company broke down
opposite the Kawaiahao Church, on
the way to the fire.
A MacNealc & Urban safe, filled
with plate and jewellery, came
through the fire. and on being open
ed this forenoon the contents were
found uninjured-only some spoons
being little discolored. Two dia-
mond rings that were in valise have
been found in the ashes, the frame
of the valise showing where to look
for them Feb. 9th.
