WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-"Presidents have al.
ways been shy of appointing their Secretary Of
the Treasury from New York, said well-known
politician the other day. SIN fact only two,
have ever come from that pace-Alexander
Hamilton and Daniel Manning. Mr.. Folger was
there short time, but he was not one of the
original selections. The reason for this is that
all Presidents but Cleveland have thought 1t
best to have their financial officer removed from
Wall street, and one not hitherto connected in
any way with that street. and think they were

Fire on the Inter Island Steamer w. G.
Hall.

Ga Sunday morning last at about half-past
O'Clock. the watchman on duty on the steamer w.
u. Hall discovered smoke issuing from the for
ward hatch, and Immediately investigated the
cause, and found that a ere was making rapid
progress among some bales of hay which had been
placed on board early Saturday. An alarm of
ire was given and Engines No. and were soon
on the ground. followed by Engine No. 4, and all
got TO wock with will, but owing to the lnaccessl
bic nature of the fre, and the dense volumes of
smoke ascending through the hatch, little more
could be done at the time than to thoroughly
drench the hold In the region of the hatchway
with water. Soon however orders were given to
cut holes IL the deck, which enabled the hremen
TO gain some additional advantage over the flames,
yet there were portions OF tie hold that could not
be reached by the firemen, and before II was too
late 1t was decided to fill the steamer with water,
by means OF the ire engines and the steamers
sea faucets, the latter being IL charge of Mr.. p.
Sass, the Company's Chief Engineer, and the re.
suit the vessel soon began to settle and finally
rested IN the mud. nearly full of water, and the
hre thoroughly squelched. At one time II looked
extremely doubtful as 70 the result-the flames
IN the hatchway leaping up TO the upper deck, and
houses, had not the boys who held the pipe in the
midst OF the sitting smoke delayed the devourlng
element and drove 1t below. 1t Is question how
much of this hne steamer would have been saved
from destruction. The nre did not reach the
cabins deck houses. The main damage to the
steamer by the fire is in the after part of the fore
hold, and the bulk head and the underside of the
main deck is badly charred by the fire and will re-
qulre renewing.
Capt Godfrey, Superintendent of the Company's
steamer, assisted by Mr.. p. Sass, Chief Engineer,
and Capt. Bates we're early on hand and exerted
themselves TO the utmost in the Company's be-
half and assisting the iremen in subduinS the
flames.
The Fire Department was handled by Chief
Engineer Wilson, assisted by Assistants NJ. d.
Monsarrat and T. Hustace, and are to be congratu-
lated on their success in ertinguishing difficult
fire.
II is estimated nv Cant Godfrey that IL will re-
quire at least s., 600 to make the steamer as she
was previous to the fire.
How the fire originated is mystery, and many
theories are advanced as the cause.

A Magnificent Building.

.dr. MeInerny, who is the owner OF the large
blcck on the corner of Fort and Merchant streets
has had plans prepared of his new building which
lie intends TO erect on this lot. Judging from the
drawings of the structure1 it will be one of the
finest and most expensive buildings in the city.
Mr.. McInerny will spare expense in the con
strUction 10 make it IN every respect thoroughly
satisfactory. No better cite IN Honolulu can be
found for a first-class building than this lot and
no doubt when erected will prove remuaerative to
the enterprlsing protector, well as showing his
wisdom In undertaking at this time, so gigantic
scheme The building on the front Will be in the

From the Islands of the Seas.

BY the arrival of the Hawaiian bark Star OF
Devon. advices have been received from the Mar
shall Islands, and the GAZETTE IS indebted to Capt
Lovell's very full report of his cruise, ana for
many items of news from these isolated regions
The Star of Deyen it will be remembered, sailed
from Honolulu, July 24th, bound for Jaluit, Mar
shall Islands, and arrived at the latter place
August 13th-20 days from this port
On his arrival at Jauit Capt. Lowell learned that
the Marshall Group had been taken formal possess
sion of by Germany, and that DR.. knappe was the
special commissioner who assumed control, Tor
Germany. DR.. knappe, during his stay enacted
laws relating to the commerce OF the ISLANDS,
which. were submitted to a council or representa-
tives from the several business houses laws
have to be approved by the Imperial Government
at Berlin. Among the laws is one forbidding the
sale of intoxicating liquors Except beerl to the
natives; also one prohibiting the sale or arms ana
ammunition, &c, 10 the natives
Mr.. H. Grosser will be the representative pro ten
at Jaluit, and act as agent for shipping and dis
charging crews; settle disputes between officers
and crews of vessels, and in the case of civil and
criminal cases will act as judge.
Port dues will be exacted on shipping entering
or departing from Jaluit, also small charge will
be made for shipping or discharging seamen-all
of which are light. Masters of vessels failing to
comply will be liable to fine of $50
1t is generally thought that this annexation
scheme will eventually prove beneficial to parties
trading III these waters and that life and property
will be much safer then under the old state AFFAIRS
full tax on the natives and the issuance of
trading licenses to foreigners are among the future
possibilities of the future
The natives at present do not seem to take
kindly to the new state of affairs. They would
have preferred that the group had fallen into the
hands OF the United States or Great Britain.
Capt. Lowell reports the missionaries all we'll.
DIR. and Mrs. Pease were adding to their list of
scholars in their school.
The Morning Star is reported as all right, and
Capt. and Mrs. Turner are highly spoken of by
that class of bleach combers" who did not usually
receive much attention from the previous Captains
of the Morning Star, and they assert that this ves
sells is different now to what she WAS formerly,
Capt. and Mrs. Turner make us so welcome and
treat Us so kindly that We can almost fancy our
selves at home among our own people again.
The Star OF Devon sailed from Jaluit, and after
calling at several Islands on the way reached
Honolulu, Oct. 2lst, after passage of 81 days.
The Star of Devon brought one passenger, Mr.. d.

Gazette's HiIo Letter.

ED1roR GAzErTE:-The " Kona which hung its
dripping mantle over the district for two weeks
driven away last Thursday by a southerly wind
which has continued since, bringing hot, sultry
weather. The sugar fields are already beginning
to shoot out the flower spathes, and soon will be
putting on the fall browns and greys.
The Emma Claudina sailed on the 10th for San
Francisco, with sugar III ballast. As passengers
went Mrs. Lehman, Mrs. Nix, Mrs. Baumann, Mrs.
Ferris the Misses Lehman, Mr.. Beck, master
Charles and Chris. Lehman and Marcus Blackman
cabin boy.
The co-partnership between Messrs j. A. Beck,
with and w. Iatson, for doing mercantile bust
ness under the firm name of j. A. Beckwith d Co.,
has been dissolved, Mr.. Beckwith having bought
out the entire interest. Mr. Beckwith left the
10Th to catch the Mariposa at your port for the
coast.
The panorama was thrown open to the public on
the Itch. The painting-in distemper and.pastel-
was not quite finished but gave a good idea of
what might be done with the subject on a larger
scale.
The diameter of the painting, from side to side,
is about thirty feet; bringing the centrally located
spectator less than fifteen feet from the canvas,
too close to gain in full the effect sought in paint
ing of the kind. The crater is represented in viO-
lent action, " Halemaumau," and the Little
Beggar being in the immediate foreground, with
the walls of the crater in the middle distance and
on the opposite side mountains LOa and Kea IN
the distance.
A.sunrise effect is given on the mountains and
TO the side of the ccater away from HalemaumaC,
which itself is in semi-darknesS, giving thus the
strong contrasts needed to bring out the fiery
effects IN the active lake As q representation of
intense activity in the crater the painting is good
through the small size prevents the optical Illusion
which . larger canvas would enable the artist to
gain, without some of the artistic liberties here
taken.
An earthquake shock was felt throughout the
district on the 18th, at 630p. N. lighter shake
Weakened some OF the citizens about day break on

good shape for an indefinite number more, and

that after the two first innings the players dis
played their ability in handling the cue in mas
tery manner, each apparently doing his best to de-
feat his opponent Many remarkable shots were
made by both players and each was duly APP
plauded. The players seemed cool and collected
throughout the game and the details were carried
out fully At the close both gentlemen received
the hearty applause of all present
Shortly after it was announced that the friends
of McCIeery were willing to put up $3.50, for an
other contest, which was duly accepted by Saylor's
friends, and the game was played last evening at
the same place, which resulted in being won by Mr..
McCleery beating his opponent 104 points. The
game was for 800 points up. The playing on bota
sides was excelent-the attendance was good.
Another game of LOCO points up was talked of at
the close.
