I hardly expected the reception I have met, and wish to express | myself much pleased gnd satisfied with all the ar- Tangements that fave been made.” “Has Your Majesty taken @ personal part rela- tive to the treaty?” King Kalakaua was astir betimes yesterday morning and expressed himself as improved in | Bealth and spirits. In accordance with his desire arrangements were made jor a visit to St. Stephen’s church, the grand and solemn surroundings of which prove 80 attractive to all strangers, and at ven o’clock the carriages were in waiting at the hotel, but it was fully an hour later belore tne church was reached. In anticipation of the arrival of the King 4 dense mass of peopie congregated in the vicimity of the edifice, which was literally crowded to the doors. His Majesty bore the curl- ous glances of the throng with characteristic ease, and did not seem to be much atfected by the some- | what embarrassing situation. He was accom- | panied by bis suite, with Alderman McUalferty, Alderman Gilon and others of the Reception Com- mittee, while there was 4 large representation arom the Common Council, including Alderman Kehr, Assistan* Aldermen ©. M, Clancy, Judge- elect; Kelly, Healy, Brucks and Kreps. There w mo demonstration upon the arrival of the party. | Service nad already commenced, and the visitors, on being received at the maim entrance, were con- ducted to the pews reserved for them in the | vicinity of the altar. Of course the advent ofthe | King created somewhat of a sensation, but it was | only momentary, and soon the hearts of the mul titude were centred in the holy ceremonies, St. Stephen’s could hardly have been seen to bet- ter advantage. The weather was delightiul and | ‘ne sun shone brightly throug the magnificent | windows with an effect that contributed Bot a littie to the impressive appearance | of the interior. The appropriate decorations for | Christmas sill remaimed, ana what with the sur- | roundings of the grand altar, which was tastefully | adorned, the superb music and the solemn char- | acter of the services, the scene was well calculated to mspire reverence and devotion, High mass | Was begun, as usual, at hall-past ten o’clock, the | Rev. Father Carroll oliciating as celevrant; the Rev. | Father McCready as deacon, ana the Rev. Father | Byron as subdeacon. A lady present handed King | Kalakaua a prayer book, and he seemed to follow | the ceremonies With the deepest interest and atten- | tion. At the termination of the urst Gospel the | Rev. Dr. McGlynn preached an exceedingly appro- | priate and eloquent sermon, taking his text irom | the Galatians, according to the epistie of | the day, which reierred to the adoption of | men py Curist, so a8 to enabie them to love | Him the more thoroughly. In cailing attention to the fact that this Was the last Sunday in the year | the reverend gentieman took occasion to advert at length to the goodness and greatness oO! the Al- mMiglty aud His boundless love for mankind, and in this connection referred to the generous recep- taon accorded to the Prodigal Son. God, he said, Was ever willing to pardon and forgive, and {! in the past year offences had been committed caicu- lated to Make the sinner jeel ashamed, he need only be truly penitent to be restored to grace. If mep were ungrateiul for all the sacrifices whicn Carist had made on their benali it must be borne in mind that the goodness and mercy of God were ammeasurable. Alter a briel Dut powerlul dizserta- on on Lhe necessity oi prayer to God he exhorted the congregation to make good resolutions jor the coming year, and to ask the Almugnty for | tne grace to keep them. The sermon was lis- tened to throughout with the most profound at tenuion, and at the conclusion the remaimder of | the services Was proceeded with, The musical | arrangements, under Mr. Danforth, the organist, were wortny the reputation the churen has long BING KALAKAUA WELCOMED TO NEW HAVEN. | mother was of the John Adams stock, and took since won for its superb choir, Apart !rom the in- | dividual excellence of the artists lorming the | double quartet, the chorus was very elfective | throughout, ‘fhe ceremonies did not terminate until after twelve v’clock, when the King and | suite were conducted to the pastoral residence. | His Majesty took occasion to thank the Kev.

Immediately a'ter the royal party returned from the churen the King, withour waiting for luncheon, | drove vo No. 10s East Eightietn street, where he Was welcomed by Coionei M. L. W. Kitchen. There a quiet purty Wus assembled and lunch pre- | pared Jor the distinguisued guests. His Majesty was accompanied by Governors Dominis | and Kapena and other members of mis | stat. Colonel Kitchen was one of the King’s Honolulu imends, and, like every one | who basever known His Majesty, 18 desirous of | doiwg him honor, it is a noticeable jact that | among the many who knew the King when simply | a@ Hawaiian genotieman there is out one expression | favorable character. Tue good impression he | made in private life has been worthily jollowed up | since he donned the regai mantle, and by persons mtimately acquainted with the past and present | government of the Kingdom it 1s believed that there never las been so fair a future lor the | islands. From Colonel Kitchen’s the royal party, accom- | Pauied by Chancellor Allen, visited Mr. Cyrus W. | Field at his residence. The King 18 parucuiariy | interested in ocean telegrapny, and Nas @ ver acute perception of the auvautages waich will accrue to Wis dominions by the laying o1 acable | from San Francisco to Honoiulu.

The re- | ception Was strictiy private, but of some length, | and the royal guest not only comported himself with his uswal ease and dignity, but also showed a Keen appreciation of the useful arts, Kaiakauais | &b observant man, and his education at Oanu Vol. | lege, the national Hawailan university, has well | fitted him to grasp and understand the latest dis- | coveries in science. i From Mr. field's the party returned to the Windsor and there dined, At the hotei was jound a Magnificent basket o! flowers sent by Mrs, Kitchen. This was co sed of rare and costly exotics, and in the on a grouud of wake puks, Was traced in 5 ts the word | e Aioha,” which means, in the Hawaiian language, “welcome,” or “love.” On the same taole was laced # floral crown of camelas, roses aud otuer aulnul Lowers, the gift of Mrs. Allen. At Uali-past eivht the party leit the Windsor, accompanied by Fire Commissioner Hatch, and drove to Firemen’s Hall. ‘There Chie: Engineer Baves joined the party, which ten proceeded to the corner of Canui street and broadway.

A large crowd was collected, who were very quiet in their manifestations though many pleas- ing remarks were mace conceraing His Majesty and staf Tie party then revurned to we Fire Department headquarters and the King was co: ducted to the telegraph room. Here the a paratus was explained, and His Majesty took tt most lively interest in all that took place. The simultaneous replies received from distant stations seemed to impress the royal visitor very mach, aud on leaving he expressed great satis- Jaction at what he had seen, The party then proceeded to the Culon Leagne Ciub House, | where His Majesty was received by Dock Com- | missioner Waies and introduced to the club, Many members were present, and among the most | prominent were Commissioner Bailey, shomas | ©, Acton, Thomas Murpuy, J. 3. senultz, Isaac Sherman, Le Grand B.

From the club the royai party drove rapidly to the Windsor, and a quiet, select recepuon was held. By His Majesty's mvitation the re; resenta- uve of the HBIALD Was 1otroduced and the tollow- img conversation ensved:—«i am giad,” said the King, ‘to meet @ Member o: the New York press, and as | have seen in Some papers certain reports that have no foundation, | wish to comtradicttiem | through the HERALD.

A representative of the HERALD has called upon one of the promiment members of the King’s suite to question him regarding the proposed reei- procity treaty. The policy oj the royal party is not to meddle with apy political business, but the treaty is of such great interest that His " Excellency willingly and with much courtesy answered the reporter’s questions, The proposed treaty —_ provisions both to the Hawaian Kingdom ana United States exceptionable advantages oi trade by entirely removing the auttes upon all important articies of commerce, thus practically establish- ing iree trade between the two countries. some arlicles are excluded trom the benefts oi tue proposed treaty, but only such as would be mauifestly unjust to free en- tirely from all duty. The views of the high Hawanan oMicial interviewed, are as fol- low: The difficulties that attend most treaties of reciprocity do not affect thisone. Our products are Lot similar to those o the United States. and by admitting them into American ports no Amert- Can Interests Will Le injured. As we make no re- fined sugar the refiners ought not to complain.” “What is the proportion of the reciprocal trade be- tween the two countries?” ‘The reciprocal traae is about equal. From tue tslunds to the United States exports were sent im 1873 to the value of | $750,000, while the 1mports from the same country | near Ninth avenue. amounted to $783,000, ‘The treaty proposes to | admit of American goods a value equal to what is exported to the United States. The trade be- tween the two countries wil! be augmented by the passage of the treaty. Jourths Ol Our imports from the United States. Now We do not get one-half trom the same source. Most of our foreign goods come trom kngiand and Ger- many, aud this trade would be resiored to America by the passage oi the treaty, and aithouga @ great part of it would go to Oregon and Caitor- nia, yet the Eastern States are also greatly in- “What nationalities are mostly interested in the Hawatian plantations?” “Most of the island plantations are own by Americans, and they naturaily wish trade with their native country, but ol late they have been obliged to trade with the Britisn colonies. Last year one-third of our Products was sent to Australia. Our exports un- der the treaty would mainly go to the United States. Sugar would be cheaper, American houses and ships would have the benefit of com- missions and freights, and in Would be led to buy American machinery, clothes, building materials and all things we need, because, as American goods would come ports free of duty and tne goods of other na- tions be subject to duty, the trade naturally would go to the United States.” “Would than the not the United States lose more revenue isiands by the aduption of the treaty in question?” “Yes, It is true that the American government gives up the largest value of duties, but thai 1s because we do not charge hizh rates, but we may have to do so, and then our trade with America Will be seriously disturbed. Of the goods we pro- pose to let m free of duty we now buy most irom other countries, but ander the treaty that trade would at once revert to the United States.’ None of the royal party take a personal partin the efforts to secure tne passage of the fesired treaty.

The city government has voted to give King Kalakaua a public reception when he visits this city next Toursday. FIRES. A DAY OF CONFLAGRATIONS. The large furniture manufacturing establishment of Warren, Ward & Vo, was destroyed by fire ves- terday afternoon. It was situated in an immense brick structure at the corner of Spring and Crosby Streets. This building had a trontage of fifty feet on Spring street and of @ hundred and tweive | feet on Crosby street, It was of the height of five | stories ana was topped wita Mansard roof, It ever since been occupted by that firm. Fires have happened within the building three times, and, ume on a Sunday. Though upon none of the previous occasivns was much damage caused by the flames they had wrought an effect upon | Minds of the firemen which was expressed yes- verday when the engines arrived at the batiding and the men accompanying them saw the flames | tobein itsupper part. They are said to have hesitated somewhat before entering tne building, as they believed itto be ill-fated—tnat it was a shell whose wails were likely to collapse upon @ slight motive. The bravery of the men speedily | of opinion, and that is of the most flattering and | overcame their slight superstition, however, and | they pursued their work with splendid persistency aud eifect. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE | is unknown. The smoke rom, it was first noticed | | at twenty minutes past twelve o’clock by a fire- | man named Wil.am Hughes, who was on duty in the Marion street bell tower and saw the smoke issning [rom beneath and at the sides of the sashes of the windows on the Spring street side of the tourth story, He immediately sent out an alarm, to which the firemen’ of the — aistrict promptly responded. It was discovered that the flames were burning flercely turongh the flooring of one of the manutacturing rooms, the lanks of witich were choice food for them, vemg impreguated with varnish and oils, It was soon tound by Chief Engineer Bates that the torce of meu and engines at work wonid be inadequate to overcome the fire, and at Nali-past tweive o'clock a@second alarm was sounded, When the reiuiorce- ments arrved tne attack upon the fire was con- tinued with renewed energy. The flames had been spreading persistently against the water that was thrown upon them, They had run througn tne apartment in Which they Were first seen, and had mounted to the fite story. They did not appear to yield In the slightest degree to water, and they were rapidly nearing the Mansard rool, This was ihe most inflammable part of the as in the apartment formed by it the ous and varnishes were stored. The firemen bent ail their energies to the work of keeping tue flames below that magazine. Meantime tie fire also ran downward into the third story, There its downward course was checked, No efforts could overcome 1t in the upper stories, however, every- thing ip them serving to ieed it. The floors were rendered extremely inflammable by the varnishes and oils with whica the pores of tee wood were filied, and quantities of new furniture covered them. It was very dificult for the firemen to get their extinguishing appliances to bear upon the Names inthe fifth story. They raised extension ladders to ita windows and dragged hose up and played throngn them. They worked with skill and judgment, yet despite their efforts tue fire ran up into the Mansard roof, This event was materially hastened by the bursting oi some of the tiose. The flames had how reached a point whence It was im- possiole to dislodge taem, and while they played wickedly there, unaflected by anything harmful to them. the firemen gave their main attention to preventing the lower stories from becoming ig- | united again irom fallen embers and to securing tne buildings in the vicinity from harm, Waile the Mansard roof was burning the greatest alarm pre- | vailed among the people who live in the vicinity of Crosby and Spring streets. The fire looked so threatening that they had indeed much cause tor jear. In the Anson House, which is on the nortn- west corner of the streets named, there was great commotion, Everybody within it had clothing packed, in order to start speedily after a notice of danger, Little by little, however, the flames in the fiith story and the Mansard roof died away, ubtll finally the~- firemen were able to reach those situatious aud work vigor- ously. by five o’clock the fire was sufMciently redneed to allow of the departure to their stations of the The visit | engines which had responded te the third alarm, | ms had been at the order of Chie: Engineer Bates at about half-past two—the time when the flames were advancing to the apartments in the ladder companies were kept at the fire to puil down the timbers, many of They were engaged at ims work until late at night, The buliding trom the third story upward is gutted, and all the coutents of the third, fourth and fifth floors and the Mausard | roof are destroyed, ‘The lower stories are badly damaged by water and smoke, and their contents are injured by being wetted and warped by water | and heat. ‘AS Was said before, the cause of the fre 18 un. | known, There were several persous in the jower story at the time it was discovered; but none of them appear to have known anything of it before | Hughes, the freman, who gave the alarm.

These Parrott rifles, even if reliabie, when using the heavy battering charges required in modern wartare—of waich doubts are euter- talned—are so few in number as to constitute but an un. important item among the 4,181 guns required tor our forts when ready tor their armament, Kifle guns ranging from 8 to 1Zinches in calibr power sufficient to penetrate at considerable tin come play a secondary part, powtrrul weapon, they musi inevi tably yield to the rifle in every important juncture, as the old smooth- bore musket has yiven place to the breech-loading riffle in the hands of a soldier. While thus expressing the conviction that the days of smooth-bore ordnance are passing away, I desire to call attention to the tact that the first grand stride toward the introduction ¢f great uns in any service was made in this country by the late eneral Kodman, of the Ordnance Department, whose reputation as an ordnance officer is world-wide, and that the fifteen-inch gun he first made in 18d) was the most poweriul weapon then known, svon to be surpassed by his twenty-inch smooth-bore, made in 1864, weighing Mai0) pounds and throwing 'a shot weighing 1,08) sounds, i Pome introduction of iron-ciads in modern warfare calls, however, tor the penetrating power of heavy rifles, and the sinashing and rocking effect of a fitteen- inch smooth-bore must yield to the working energy of a twelve-inch mfle that will pierce the thickest iron armor at long distances. cor TING SMOOTH BORES INTO RIFLES. How best and most economically to provide for this reat Want hus exercised the brain and skill of the most Gistingulshed officers in every country, and caused the expenditure ot millions of money. There is little doubt that ssteel is the best material for guns, but that roduct is by far too costly to be considered now, and, esides, would have to be procured abroad. Wrought iron guns, aed with steel, as adopted by England, have not given that satisfaction’ that would justify an éxpen- diture of several millions of money for their manufac- ture. In this country the success of the Ordnance De- partment in improviig the quality ot our cast tron for Gannon has been marked and satistactory, and we may Jay claim with xood reason, w the best cast iron guns ym the world. ‘They require, however, 1 be sirength- ened waen ‘subjected to the enormous strains which, as rifled, they are to withstand; and the success abroad of lining cast iron with wrought ii x steel has Suggested an easy and economical mode of converting our cheap cast irom smooth bores into powerful and efficient rifles, Our trial thus far with a ten-inch Rod- man gun, lined with wrought iron and converted into an eightincn rifle, gives promise of success; and an- other, lined with steel, now nearly ready for firing, may probably give equal if not better results, This ¢ight- inch rife bas already been fired 328 rounds, with bay wring charges of thirty-five pounds of powder and 180 pounds of shot, giving an average velocity of about 1,425 feet and a working energy of nearly 5,0U0,00) toot- pounds, capable of penetrating seven inches of iron armor at distances from 500 to 1,000 yards. ‘This success enables us, at comparatively sinall” cost, to utilize the 1,24 ten-inch smooth-bore guns, which, as smooth bores, re utterly useless against jron-clads, by converting them into eight-inch rifles capable of penetrating seven inches of tron armor. ihe value and interest of this proposed conversion is all the greater trom the fact that the casemates of our forts, designed many Years since, are too contracted to accommodate agun of much larger size than the ten- inch Rotman; and this very gun, intended for that special purpose, can thus be strengthened and mereased in power to meet the greater demands that modern improvements in naval attack and deience make upon it ‘fn again urging upon Congress the absolute necessity for some action that will enable us to place our forts in fighting condition by providing their armament, I will xcused for stating “ an undeniable be entirely worse than ‘ans to arm it; indeed, that it is not a tort atall without ts armament—more lke a body without a soul; and that other fact, which also seems to be lost night of that cannon cunnot be purchased ready made in mar: ket, but have to be manutactured specially, and must be provided in time of peace. It is certainly’ the part of ‘wisdom to be prepared tor fature wars that occur in the lite of every nation; but should our appeals be con- stantly disregarded and the next war find the country unprepared and our seacoast defenceless and at tle fact that a mercy of an enterprising enemy, the responsibility for | all subsequent disasters cannot rest on the Ordnance Departinent of the Army. nor the secretary of War, nor | the Executive. T have, therefore, the honor to recommend that ap. ropriation of $260 60) be inade by Conzress tor convert- th-bore guns into rifles by ining with wrought iron o1 el, The above sum wiii enable us to convert at least 140 guns. EXPERIMENTS IN RIFLED ORDNANCE. Second—In 1872 Congress appropriated $27:,0 periments and tests of heavy rifled ord 000 “for ¢: ce.” The rovisions oF the act, have cote “designaced by a board of officers appointed by the , ecretary of War” under the been in preparation under the supervision of their re- spective inventors, and the whole number will proba- Diy be ready for trial in the early sprinz. round in near proximity to the city of New York as forced the departinent, with establis reservation at Sandy bor. Even in the trial of the eight-inch rifle referred to above this department bas been hampered by the want of funds, and these important experiments, that will eventually lead to a determination of the question so Vita) to the national defence, have had to be conducted under great embarrassments antl with the rudest appii- ances and conveniences. It is expected that by the opening of spring eight guns, varying in calibre from eight to twelve inches, and in Weight from 16,000 to 85,000 pounds, will be ready for fir- ing. ‘The firmg of a twelve-inch rifle is @ very expe’ sive Lusiness, gach round fired costing about $100. As the gun may stand 5W rounds, its tria! will cost $50,000, and only in a iess degree will the expense be in the trial of guns of smaller calibre. Funds necessary tor this purpose shouid be appro- and, added to this, a sun sufficient to pro carriages—depressing and others—butts ay platforms, and ail, the appliances, conveniences and jabor required for the prosecution of such exact and im- portant work. Tknow of to military or naval power that has not your approval, he provided an experimental and proving ground wit every facility for conducting trials upon a grand scale, and there is ho way of avoiding considerable expendi: ture while seeking and obtaining the necessary data from which to draw conclusions that will lead to su large expenditure in the future in arming our forties Ons. Ihave, therefore, the honor to recommend that an approoriation of $2°0,00) be made for proving ground and experin ts and (ests of heavy ordnance. Very respectlully, your obedient servant, 8, V.

At about six P. M. Captain McEiwain learned that young Peck had revurned to his father’s house’ and sent an officer for him, who soon brought the young man to the station house. Pro- Jessor Peck and Ovier members of the family also came.

Between six and seven o’clock last night Leo Schall, aged forty-six years, a native of Germany, called at No, 396 Greenwich street, where his wile is au present employed as a servant, and inquired if he could see her. Upon being toid that Mrs. Schall had left the house a short time previons he drew a revolver irom his pocket and placed the barrel of the weapon in his mouth and discharged tt, A second aiter he fell reeling on the stoop and almost instantiy expired, An officer was attracted to the place upon hearing the discharge of the pistol, a stretcner was pro- cured and the body of the suicide was removed to the Fifth precinct station house, in Leonard street. The Coroner was notified to hold an inquest, . SUNDAY BARROOM ROW. John Powell, an ex-policeman, while on a spree, entered the saloon of Michael Ryan, corner Grand and Fourth streets, Williamsburg, yesterday, and after some few words had passed between him and some others in the barroom, Powell, without provocation, struck @ youog man named Van Brunt a violent blow in the face. Van Brunt, who haa a “Tom and Jerry” mug in his hand, made use of it as a weapon, and hurling it with all his force at Powell, struck him on the head, inflicting @ painiul though not dangerous wound, extending from the right eye down the cheek to the corner of the mouth, Aid wasat once summoned by the officer on that beat, and while Van Brunt was ar- rested the wounds of Powell were dressed by Ropero Brady and Hughes and then he was sent ome.
