One Third of the Island Crop Will
Go Direct to Atlantic Ports.
AN ORDER FROM THE TRUST
Part of n Standing ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
to be Used-Chanee For the Zealan-
dia--CaptaIn Matson, the Daisy KIM
ball and the Wilder s. 3. Company.

A bit of news arrived yesterday that
will not be reIished by the owners of
sailing vessels plying between this
port and San Francisco. It is no more
or less than the fact that the Sugar
Trust will ship sugar from Honolulu
to New York, via Cape Horn.
The agents of the different planta-
tions were notified of the new depart
ure yesterday by mail. According to
the agreement made by the planters,
they must, when called upon, deliver
a certain amount of sugar in Homo
lulu to the agents of the trust. 1t is
understood that one-third of the crop
is the limit.
Figuring next seasons output at
10000 tons, 10000 will be sent around
the Horn, instead of going to San
Francisco. Just what vessels will be
utilized for carrying the sugar is not
known, but as a rule there are always
q number of disengaged ships lying in
the harbor OF San Francisco, whose
captains would be glad to come down
here in ballast in order to get a full
cargo. Possibly, the steamship Zea-
landia will be utilized, as there was
some talk of refitting her when the
Alameda left San Francisco.
Averaging the cargoes at 1000 tons it
will take twenty vessels to move the
sugar, Just so much work taken away
from vessels of the sugar feet. About
the windup OF last seasons crop, sew
eral shiploads of sugar were sent to
Philadelphia from San Francisco, for
the reason that the California refinery
had more raw material than it could
use.
This move on the part of the sugar
buyers is accepted with satisfaction in |
some circles, as it is understood that |
the bulk of the sugar to be sent to the |
Atlantic seaports will be of the lower |
grades necessitating the shipment of |
it to this port, where otherwise it |
would be shipped direct from ports |
like Hilo, Kahului and Mahukona.
The steam schooner Daisy Kimball,
now at Hilo, is the subject of much
talk in shipping circles. She was re,
Gently purchased in San Francisco
from j. s. Kimball by Captain Mat
son, the owner of the Lurline and the
been plying between San Francisco
and Hilo for a long time. 1t seems
that Captain MatsOn contracted to
carry the output of the Hakalau mill
TO San Francisco and found it neces-
sary to employ a steamer for coasting
work. This work has been done by
the Wilder Steamship Company.
Some months ago Captain Matson
secured q similar contract with the
Pepeekeo plantation, and after the
papers were signed he and the Wilder
Company could not agree on the
coasting rates, so it is said, and the
captain left for San Francisco without
giving hint as to his intentions.
The following steamer brought word
that he had purchased the Daisy
Kimball. G.. L. Wight, of the steamer
company left for San Francisco to fix
the matter up in some way. He re-
turned on the last Australia after a
successful mission, so il was reported,
but Ii turns out now that he did not
see Captain Matson, for the reason
that he had left for Bilo a day or so
before Mr.. Wight arrived. Mr.. Wight
is now in Hilo comforting with Cap
tain Matson. 1t is expected that he
will return tomorrow.
The programme OF the Wilder Com
pany Is said to be to make q contract
that will suit Captain Watson, and
then take the Daisy Kimball off his
hands,
The captain is branching out, and
intends to add another vessel to the
Hilo line. She is the 973-ton steel {
bark Santiago, a new vessel of Scotch
build. She is now loading in Scotland
TOR San Francisco. Spreckels Bros.
are mentioned as the buyers, but it is
understood that they simply acted for
Captain Matson.
The bark Sumatra, an old vessel,
left San Francisco on the 10th inst,
Tor Hilo. It is said that she will be
used as a coal hulk as soon as she
reaches Hllo, from which the Daisy
will be supplied. The little
steamer is expected at this port on 7
