GOLD FROM CHINA.
The Peking's Thousands
i'm Treasure.
Passengers OYercrowd the Oppose
tion Ferry-Some Close Rifle
Shooting at North Beach.

The City of Peking arrived yesterday
morning from the Orient via Honolulu
with large cargo of merchandise, princ-
pally shipments for the East over the lines
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
There are 1907 tons of overland freight
and 1916 tons of merchandise for this city.
The excess of tons for the East is due to
goods marked for the Worlds Fair.
Strange to say one of the most important
items on the Peking's manifest is S130, 600
in treasure consigned to the Compton
Bank of this city. 1t is seldom that coir
comes here from the Orient. 1t is gener-
ally the reverse. The coin is to be placed
to the credit OF local Chinese merchants it
is understood.
The Peking went to the dock a t Honolulu
for the first time. She was delayed at
that port eight and a half hours On account
of trouble with her machinery.
The opposition ferry-boat Frank Silva
had to refuse passengers in the afternoon.
Such an immense crowd gathered at the
wharf that it was feared some accident
would occur. On her 1870 P. NJ. trip TO
Oakland the Silva carried about 300 pas
sengers. The wharf gates had to be closed
on the throng waiting to get aboard and
about 200 perSons were turned away.
During the day the Silva transported
obout $500 passengers to and from Oak
lank, the largest days business since the
opposition boat started.
An all-round fight occurred On the Sau-
calito ferry between a crowd of toughs. and

desires to meet delegation from the State
Board OF Trade and the Chamber of Com

commercial relations upon large scale
between California and the Philippines.
Business on the islands is reported by
Mayor Reyes to be unusually good. and.
unlike the other countries IN the Orient

ment are in excellent condition. There
was exported from the islands last year
over 100000 worth of sugar and S6,OOO,-

usually good.
Mayor REYES will make careful study
of the municipal governments of San

cities of Great Britain and Continental
Europe with view of improving his own
city government. He says the railway is
making rapid advances in the islands, and
that an English company is now construct

ELMBANK CAVERN.
A Queer Cave in a Ships

What the Curious Can See at Union

to Be Avoided.

An unexDlored cavern of great beauty
exists at Union-stTeet wharf. Its sides
aud ceiling are decorated with queer.
shaped stalactites which assume strange
shades and colors in the uncertain light of
its interior.
People have tried to solve the problem
of exploring this wonderful waterfront
cave. but as yet no one has visited its in
nermOst recesses, for treaeherous gases
lurk in every nook and corner and sui
phurous fires threaten TO break out under
adveDturesome feet.
Water-fr0nters have named this cave
"Elmbank Cavern" for, sure enough it
exists in the hold of the ship Elm bank
Now the secret is out.
If you are not afraid of little dust or
in dread of breathing few poisonous va
pors, there is sight worth seeing beneath
the Elmbank's hatctes.
Descending the main hatch the curious
are first greeted with whiff of sulphurous
gas of which man wants but little here

this misunderstanding atmosphere the

there appears to circulate pure current
