in certain quarters as likely to be
one of the candidates for the guber-
material nomination on the Repub-
lican ticket two years hence.
Of Miss Spreckels it is unneces-
sary to speak, except to say that
she is i young lady who has been
noted for her retiring manners,
when she had every opportunity to
shine in society. She has never
manifested any desire to make the
social conquests that the wealth
and prominence of her family
easily placed within her reach.
Without being secluded in her
habits she has never shown any
special fondness for gaining social
triumphs. For this reason her name
has not frequently been banded
about in the society gossip of the
day.
As for Mr.. Shortridge, he owes
his enviable position solely to his
own talents and energy. Through
his own unaided exertions he has
risen, in a few years, to an eleva-
ton that few men reach after more
difficult and longer struggles He
is a younger brother of Charles NJ.
Shortridge, editor and proprietor
of the San Jose Mercury, and Mrs.
Clara S. Foltz, the well-known
lady lawyer. He gained State
wide reputation in 1884, when very
young, by making an exceptional
" brilliant and effective canvass of
the State for James G. Blaine I'm
til then he was utterly unknown.
Since then he has been conspicuous
on the stump in every campaign,
and as a powerful advocate at the
bar.
Among the first and strongest
friends he made when he began
the practice of his profession in
this city was John D. Spreckels, of
the Oceanic Steamship Company.
Mr.. Spreckels early appreciated
the talents of Mr.. Shortridge, and
this appreciation ripened into close
personal friendship. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that the friend
ship between Mr.. Spreckels and
the eloquent young lawyer should
have resulted in corresponding
family intimacy. In time this
brought about an engagement of
marriage between Mr.. Shortridge
and Miss Spreckels. Owing to the
wealth and powerful political con-
nections of the contracting parties
the contemplated wedding will in
all likelihood exert considerable
influence on the trend of political
events. Mr.. Shortridge was already
on the high road to political pre-
ferment, and this alliance will
bring to him aid of a most potent
character.-[S. F. Chronicle.

GENERAL ARMSTRONG.

The sad news of the death OF
General Samuel Chapman Arm
strongis printed in another column.
He was born in the Hawaiian Isl
ands and first made his mark here
as an organizer and leader of pub
lie movements. Perhaps no man
has been better and more favor
ably known in Hawaii than he.
After his. removal to the United
States, many years ago, he became
prominent as business man. At
the breaking out of the war of the
rebellion he arose rapidly. from the
ranks until at the close of the great
conflict he was brevetted general
in recognition of his services to his
country in the field.
But the greater part Of his life
work was performed IN the esta-
blishment and successful carrying
out of the great industrial school
at Hampton, Virginia, whose
original aim was to ameliorate the
conditions of the newly freed
negroes, through the education of
their children. In this great and
good work he labored increasingly
for years. Before the closing of his
life, the educational scope of the
school had been greatly extended,
and the field of usefulness conse-
quently widened.
He was at the time of his death
considered one of the forement men
of the United States. He was loved
and honored wherever known, and
his death will be as deeply re-
GREETED here as it is by his
countrymen in the Great Republic.

A SOCIAL EVENT.
Samuel M. Shortridee and Miss
Emma Spreckels to be
Married.

There is atpresent a matrimonial
union on the tapis of no inconsid-
cradle interest to social, financial
and political circles, inasmuch as
it promises to unite great wealth
and beauty to eloquence, genius
and political prominence.
This means that Miss Emma
Spreckels, the daughter of Claus
Spreckels, the well-known capital
list and sugar magnate, will in the
near future be led to the altar by
Samuel NJ. Shortridge, the distin-
guished young orator, lawyer and
politician. When the wedding will
take place cannot yet be stated,
but when it does take place it will
be one of the notable events in the
social history of San Francisco.
The bride, besides being a mil
lionairess in her own right, is a
member of a family known all over
the country because of the great
enterprises in which the male
members have achieved wealth and
prominence. The groom has made
a high reputation for himself by
his forensic powers and his rapid
rise at the bar.

Mr.. Andrew Brown.

Mr.. AnQTeW Brown.
On last Wednesday evening one
of the most enjoyable social events
which has ever taken place in Hilo
occurred at the Coney House at
that place. The affair was arranged
by several masons, and it was given
in honor of Mr.. Andrew Brown of
this city, who visited Hilo on bust
ness connected with the fire depart
ment. Mr.. Brown holds high Of
fee in Hawaiian Lodge, No. 81, F.
and A. NJ, and the banquet was
given as token of esteem.
The affair was not confined
strictly to members of the order and
several prominent citizens of Hilo,
who are not masons were present at
the festive board. The parlors and
dining room of the hotel were most
tastefully decorated, while the ex-
terror of the building was brilliant
ly Illuminated with Japanese Ian
terms. The banquet commenced at
s o'clock and for three hours the
menu, which would have done
credit to n French chef, was dis
cussed. During the evening toasts
were made and responded to and
when 'Auld Lang Syne" was sung
everybody departed for home with
a remembrance of a very pleasant
time. Among those present were
Messrs. Andrew Brown, DR.. R. B.
Williams, John Spear, John NOR,

port Still Secret.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The pres
ident has appointed James H.
Blount of Georgia envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary
to the Hawaiian islands TO succeed
John L. Stevens. Blount's commits
sion bears the date of yesterday
and it will be sent to him by the
next mail for Honolulu. 1t is un-
derstood that the change'was de-
cided on at the cabinet meeting
yesterday.
The report from Blount, mailed
in Honolulu during the last week
in April, came to Secretary Gresh-
ham yesterday morning, and was
taken by him to the cabinet meet
ing. Owing to its confidential
character the contents were kept
secret, but it is presumed that it
contains such information that the
president is determined to lose no
time in commissioning the new
minister to succeed Mr.. Stevens.
Now that Mr.. Blount's official
status has been changed from COM
missioner to minister, there is nat
urally great anxiety to know what
will be the next move in Hawaiian
matters. The officials Of the State
department are as mysterious as
ever. The only statement Secre-
tary Gresham would make today
on the Hawaiian subject was that
Commissioner Blount had been ap-
pointed minister, and instructions
had gone to ex-Minister Stevens
directing him to turn over the lega-
ton to Mr.. Blount.
What the tenor of Blount's letter
is must remain secret until such a
time as the administration is will
ing to make known its position in re-
gard to Hawaii. That he is against
annexation there can be no doubt.
AS a result of Mr.. Blount's re-
port new set of instructions is
being prepared and will go out by
the next mail steamer.
1t is believed that the instruc-
tons authorize him to negotiate a
treaty of some kind which will in
sure American supremacy in the
islands without interference with
internal affairs. Concerning the
report that new commission is
coming from Hawaii to negotiate a
new treaty with the United States,
it is said at the State department
that it is not at all probable, and
whatever negotiations may be con-
Quoted will be through Minister
Blount.
It's understood that Mr.. Blount's
appointment is not permanent, but
was made expressly for the purpose
of having him conduct negotiations
which will determine the future re-
lations of this country with Ha-
wall. Mr.. Blount, his friends say,
would probably not care to accept
this third-class mission under any
other conditions. Having served
as chairman of the House foreign
affairs committee it is not likely
that he would care to take subor-
dinate place when there are $17, 900
missions floating around unless
there were some special reasons.

A Bit of News.

The following bit of news is taken
from the San Francisco Chronicle
of the 18th inst: while the

the officers learned that few days
before, the third mate and several

went out for a row and were not
seen afterward."

Diogenes when a member
from his country to the state

whether he found what he was
looking for. The trouble was
not in the legislature however
OF in the men, the difficulty
was entirely with the lanterns.

venient crank lift lanterns

anything, even a correct solu-
ton of the present political

1t has been a question in
our minds whether any dealers
in Honolulu sell more garden
hose than we do, We have de-
cided in the negative. There's
scarcely a vessel coming to
this port, but what has brought
us large quantities of a super
ior quality of hose. We believe
our large sales now is the
result of establishing early III
our business career a reputa-
ton for keeping really good
articles, particularly hose.
The demand for the Fischer
Steel Range continues, and
we are sending them to the
homes of our customers nearly
every day. This last lot is of
