The Friend.

The Friend for October has been
received and the contents are both
interesting and instructive. The
editor has ably handled several
subjects of present interest in the
politics of Hawaii, and among
which is strong reply to an "open
letter" of Mr.. T. H. Davies, written
from England under date of Au-
gust, and in which the political at
titude of the Friend and its friends
had been impugned. A courteous
tribute is paid to the dedication of
the Damien monument, and various
other matters, including the usual
monthly record of events" make
the journal, as before said, both in
teresting and instructive.

LONG SEA PASSAGE.
The German Bark Pfu9er Ar
rives from Bremen After
a Voyage of I54 Days.

Voyage of I54 Days.
The German iron bark J. C.
Pfuger, Capt. Wolters, was brought
into port by the tug Eleu yester-
day morning and was locked at
the P. NJ. S. S. Co.'s wharf, on the
Waikiki side of the German bark
Paul Isenberg. Capt. VOTERS was
seen in his cabin yesterday morn
ing, but he was not in a condition
to be interviewed nor did he care
to talk much. The captain has
been laid up in his stateroom ever
since passing stormy Cape Horn
two months ago. The Pfuger left
Bremen May 4th. Nothing event
full happened to either vessel or
crew until arrival off the meri-
dian of Cape Horn eighty-six days
out. Then for five weeks the ship
encountered succession of heavy
gales. The decks were all the
time covered with thin layer
of ice, making it rather difficult
for the. men to walk about the
decks. The storm tossed the YES
sci here and there on the ocean
wave. The vessel at first stood
the hammering fairly well, but as
the storm increased its -iolence,
the starboard iron stanchion for
over twenty feet gave way, and
part of the iron bulwarks was
stove in and damaged but not to
a very great extent. The heavy
sea which did this fearful work
first struck the starboard side with
d thunderlike crash. The same
sea washed away a portion of the
forward house. The poop deck
over the cabin likewise received the
same sad experience, the sea wash
ing away part of the ceiling over
the captains cabin. Aloft also
suffered extensive injury. The
three-quarter inch iron band
around the fore-topgallant mast
was broken in two, one half
falling on the deck below.
The halliards next went flying in |
the air like pieces of thread, and
the fore topgallant-mast itself was
lowered on deck. At least five big |
sails were blown away. But while
the vessel suffered so much above |
and around deck, the hull itself is
not hurt in the least. After pass
ing those stormy days good weather
set in, which carried the vessel to
port.
The J. C. Pfuger brought a full
cargo of general merchandise (15,-
507 pkgs.), consigned to H. Hack
field & Co. Among the cargo are
1850 pieces steel rails, 2014 bbls.
cement, 1882 fire bricks, 60 tons
coke, and $50 tons coal for H.

The improvements going forward

ance that is very gratifying to those
who have any state pride. The new
officers quarters vii. be a very hand
some building. The stone work upon
it is finely executed, and when finish
ed ii viii be both massive and ornate.
The new wall is about half finished.
1t is great improvement On one
side it has taken the place Of the old
board fence and the contrast is most
striking. The ceiling Of the new cell
house has been raised and the ventila-
tors have been put in the roof, max
ing the place comfortable. Awnings
have been put over the windows, pre-
venting the inside of the room from
being so terribly warm. The entire
premises have been cleaned up. The
accumulated rubbish Of years has
been hauled away. The old fostering
underground wooden drains have
been removed and tie slops from the
kitchen run away in boxes which are
kept thoroughly cleansed. In every
nook the place is as neat as the kitch-
en- of a we'll ordered home.
Many of the convicts have become
proficient as quarrymen and stone
cutters, and they turn out excellent
work When the present building is
finished they can get out all the stone
needed for the main structure to be
built in the future.
The most interesting feature of the
establishment is the garden. Former
" all supplies had to be purchased,
but now a large part Of the vegetables
needed are supplied from the garden
patch. There is six and half acres
under cultivation and almost every
kind Of vegetable is produced, includ.
ing potatoes, turnips, beets, radishes,
tomatoes, squashes, cucumbers, pump
kins, cabbages, caulifiower, corn, let
tuce and melons The supply is so
large that the prisoners are given all
they wish of many Of the products.
A singular feature of this flourish
ing garden is that it is irrigated by
hot water. 1t was stoutly maintained
that this could not be done, but the
present management determined to
try it and has met with astonishing
success. Statesman.

Only the most advantageous offers are

that make the offers and the cities
in which they are located are not now

change in practice is said to have been
suggested by President Cleveland, as
some of the banks have an idea that to
have the fact stated that they were
parting with gold might have the effect
of weakening the confidence felt in
them. The treasury department is also
accommodating gold in the ordinary
course of business, though no offers OF
gold in any considerable amount have
been received by the treasury from
eastern bankers.
