The ship Oriental will come over from
| Oakland and dock at Beale street for re-
pairs The ship will have thorough over
hauling.
The managers of the Union Iron Works
are not at all pleased at the delay caused by
the non-arriyal of the armor for the coast
defense snip Monterey, and are seriously
thinking of giving the big ship a trial trip
without waiting for the armor. OF course
| the ship would have to carry a weight equal
tn that of her armor, and if this is done, and
the vessel comes up to contract require
ments, an effort will be made to induce the
Government to accept the snip, and put the
armOr on at Mare Island. The only reason
given for the delay is that the Eastern firms
who have the contract to supply the armor
are crowded with work.
The Unitrd States steamer Richard Rush
left for OUnalaska about . o'clock yesterday
afternoon. She will guard the seal rOok-
cries until the close of Behring Sea by the
| ice.
TIE CREW OF THE BERNARD.
There is nothing strange in the fact that
| six Japanese sailors had been shipped on
board The bark Robert 5. Bernard, nor are
| they the first that have been shipped from
! this port. The ". X. Hume, now on her
way to Burrard Inlet, also took several
! japanese, and at the present time there IS
quite a number of sailors of that nation
Rlity in the various sailor boarding houses
waiting a chance to ship. The story that
they Will be introduced into the coasting
trade is laughed at along the front, as 1t is
well known that the Japs do not relish the
harI work done by the crews of coasting
vessels
The chances are that every one of the 100
Chinese on board the steamer Oceanic, due
here to-day, will have to 20 back to China
without setting foot on American soil. This
! is in view of the recent ruling OF the Secre-
taTy of the Treasury.

! street is having another addition built to 1t.
