SAN FRANCISCO, October 15.-G. Lamb
Doty, United States consul at Tahiti, who
is away from his post on six mouths leave

home of the sugar cane, which was brought
from that island to the Hawaiian group.
We can produce sugar in Tahiti for $38 per

want is some means Of transportation to
get it to market cheaply and quickly. The
present arrangement by which freight and
passengers are conveyed between San Fran

official last Friday. His mission was to

etc, and find out what needed replacing.
In the evening the Guards marched to
the rink, headed by the Germania band,
where they formed in line OH the rink
floor, and then the State officials carefully
examined the guns, etc. We noticed the
Inspector General would take a bayonet or
ramrod draw it across his white glove,

made. After he had finished, no gave
the company fine compliment OH their
appearance, and on tho condition of their
guns. He said there was great improve

drill by Captain Hitchcock and Lieuten-

marched back TO the Armory and disband-
cd.

There were sufficient Guards in the
ranks to make double line the length OF
the rink floor, and the boys did their

worthy OF praise.

street bridge broke last Thursday, and
the bridge has been closed for repairs
since. Teams have had to use Ninth
street bridge to cross the river, making
nearly two mile trip from the business
part OF the south side to the depot. On
Thursday and part Of Friday the tug
Arthur ID. was employed to ferry people
across, but the city officials obtained two
lighters, and by that means and the upper
end Of the bridge pier, made novel
floating swing bridge, safe and conven-
lent for pedestrians. One lighter extend
cd from the Comstock wharf to the pier,
and the other from the pier to the

children pass over the bridge every hour.

necessary repairs, and 1t is hoped the
bridge will be In use again some time
