? The Best of Friends.
' A
Dr. Adachi, Japanese minister to
Mexico, who recently returned home,
^ talked with a reporter of the Tokio
r Tiiries, and said he had/ound friendliness,
not only in California, but
^ right through America. "I can say
cans and all were well disposed toindeed.
I talked with many Americans
4 and all were well disposed towards
Japan. Whife I was at San Fran
cisco the Japanese consul general organized
a tea party, to which all the
leading Americans were invited. They
all came. As a result I met huriM
A-raAc nf nntahilitips and I talked to
f x them in my very bad English and I
found that they were all most favor,
ably disposed not only to the Japanese
there, but also to this country.
f During my stay in California I did
not hear a single complaint from the
Japanese. They are well treated and
doing well. I hope the day is not
far 'distant when the Japanese in
Mexico will be as happy, as contented
and as prosperous as their countryi
men in California."

Some Historical Naval llelics.
Another illustrious American fam
ily, whose sons were officers in th
United States navy, is now represent
ed in the hall of history in the gov
ernment museum at Washington
The United States national museun
has just received a collection of nava
relics pertaining to the services ren
dered by Capt. Edward Trencban
and Rear Admiral Stephen Decatu
Trenchard, between the years ISO*
and 1880.
An officer's sword, a dirk, two com
missions, a map and a manuscrip
journal relate to the career of Ed
ward Trenchard. He was born ii
Salem, X. J., in 1784, and studies
for some time as an artist, but event
ually entered the United States nav;
as midshipman on April 30, 1800
His first cruise was on the sloop-of
war Adams, : under the valian
Stephen Decatur, where a strong an<
lasting friendship sprang up betweei
the son of the commander, Stephei
Decatur, 2nd, and young Trenchard
The Adams was engaged in the Medi
terranean in the war with Tripol
from 1801-03, and while still a mid
shipman, Trenchard participated ii
the famous attack on Tripoli in th<
latter part of the war, for which ser
vice he was awarded a sword by con
gress in 1805, but as no midshipman
rated a sword in those days he wa
presented with a dirk, such as th
inm'nr nffinprs nf the British nav:
J U1X1VA v vr. - ^
wore. The dirk presented to Trench
ard on this occasion is among th
relics. It is a very fine one of Eng
lish type, with an ivory and goh
handle, and an etched gold sheath.
Trenchard became a lieutenant i]
1807, and the commission issued t
him at that time, bearing the signa
ture of Thomas Jefferson, is exhibit
ed in the case. A little later, afte
serving on the Constellation and th
Constitution, he was made executiv
officer in the New York navy yari
and in 1812 superintended the con
struction of the sloop-of-war Madi
son, which he succeeded in complet
ing in record time. During the wa
of 1812-14 he was in command of th
Oneida and the Madison in severa
engagements. He rendered meritor
ious services in the blockade o
Kingston and other operations, am
Was again rewarded by congress i]
1814. The sword and scabbard pre
sented to him at this time and hi
commission as captain, dated Marc]
5, 1817, and signed by James Mon
roe, are also to be seen in the collec
tion. He was in command of th
John Adams in 1815-16, participate
in the operations off Algiers, Tripol
and Tunis, which resulted in the sup
pression of the piracy then in prog
ress.
One of the most interesting relic
is the manuscript journal kept b
Capt. Trenchard when in commam
of the sloop Cyane, during a cruis
on the west coast of Africa betweei
the years 1819-21, for the suppres
sion of the slave trade. Some of hi
notes read like stories of Robertsoi
and Stephenson, and indicate that hi
work during those two years wa
fraught with considerable excitemen
and danger. A water-color map o
one of his stations on the coasl
drawn by himself, and his book plat
which he designed,- recall his earl
days spent with a view toward arl
and lend a different touch of th
otherwise martial display of relics
There is also a reproduction of
miniature of this distinguished office
in the uniform of captain, painte
about 1818. He was relieved fror
this African cruise in 1821 and or
1
dered home. The last few years c
his life were spent as post captai
in the New York yard. He receive
the brevet rank of * commodore, a
exceptional honor, since at that tim

Capt. Edward Trenchard's sor
who was named Stephen Decatu
Trenchard, after the captain's frienc
had even a more interesting caree
than his father, who died at the ag
of forty years, after twenty-fou
years' service. Stephen Decatu
Trenchard was born in Brooklyn, >
Y., in 1818. He was appointed mid
shipman in 1834, after making
cruise as acting midshipman in th
European squadron in 1832, whe
only fourteen years of age. Late
he attended the naval school at Phi]
adelphia for a year or two. Betwee
the vears 1845-46 he was assigne
to coast survey duty on the Wash
ington, and when it was wrecked ol
the coast of North Carolina he wa
one of the few saved. The next yea
he was made lieutenant and serve
on the Saratoga in Mexico. On At
gust 14, 1856, while again servin
on coast survey work, he rendere
prompt and efficient service in th
rescue of the British bark Adiei
wrecked off Gloucester, Mass., savin
all hands and the* entire cargo, fc
which he was presented with a beat
tifully decorated sword by the Brii
ish government, and a gold watc
by the underwriters of the bark. Th
watch and sword are both on exhib
tion: the latter is a large beautifull
etched weapon in a sheath decorate
! in gold filagree over blue velvet, wit
I a gold sword knot.

Asiatic waters. He was with Com- ^
r modore Josiah Tattnall when he
e made his famous statement, "Blood t
jX|
,1 is thicker than water," cleared his
- ship for action and went to the aid ^
f of the British admiral. With the
d opening of the civil war Trenchard ^
a was put in command of the Keystone
!- State, which arrived at Norfolk just J
s as the navy yard was burning, and ^
h assisted in saving some of the gov- V
ernment property. He was after- &
ward in command of the Rhode Ise
land, a supply and dispatch ship, ?
g which was later converted into a t
i heavily armed cruiser. It ^as this
- ship which was towingx the Monitor ^
when she foundered off Cape Hat- ?
teras, and was through the efforts of
s Capt. Trenchard's officers and men
yj that the majority of the Monitor's
d j crew were saved. Still in command no

n cruised with the West Indian squad- an
-J ron and the North Atlantic squadron, th<
s | capturing several valuable prizes
n and Confederate ships. He also was rai
s present at both bombardments of ev<
s Fort Fisher. sti
t . A commission signed by Abraham ye:
f Lincoln on February 21, 1863, dis- stc
played in the Trenchard case, states
e that Stephen Decatur Trenchard was wc
y made commander on July 16, 1862.
t, He became captain in 1866, commo- sir
e dore in 1871, and after serving on i0j
J. the examining board as light house
a inspector, and on the headquarters
r duty, he was promoted rear admiral
d on August 10, 1875. His commission
n as rear admiral is also in the muse- yo
- um collection and bears the signa- bu
>f ture of U. S. Grant, signed December
n 15^ 1875. During the years 1876-78
d he was in command of the North At- ^
