She is of 1929 tons register and, carried
1900 tons of coal for the Southern Pacific
Railroad, consigned to w. B. Chapman,
of San Francisco. A family of South
Sea Islanders, three men, three women
and one child, we're picked up in small
boat by the Respigadera during. her
voyage and landed here. They had been
several DAYS without food or water when
picked up. Their appearance here
attracted considerable attention. The
islands to which they belonga are situated
about l 900 miles south of the Hawaiian
Islands. They have since been taken in
charge by the Hawaiian authorities at
| San Francisco, who have arranged for
their transportation to their home in the
Gilbert Islands, and have been forwarded
to San Francisco for that purpose.

rock. He also says that said rock is not
laid down on marine charts, a matter
which should receive prompt attention
by our authorities.

high. The Democracy, however, have a
monopoly of all the enthusiasm here.
An outdoor mass meeting was held on

Mr.. Waldron, candidate for the Assem-

plain, sensible and convincing way which
won for him the general approval. Port

posing in a forcible and taking way the
hollow pretenses of the Repub-
lican leaders. Mr.. Hunt is a
pleasing, logical and forcible speaker,
and gave great satisfaction. After Mr..
Hunt had concluded, Lieut.. Governor S.
M. White was introduced and received a
perfect ovation from the great crowd
which had gathered more especially to
hear him; and notwithstanding the late.
ness of the hour, he held the crowd fol
an hour by his matchless power. He
left no issue untouched, nor anything
remained necessary to clear presenta.

the question with many who had beer
