What is concerning the Pacific
Mail people most now is how the
Honolulu freight on the Rio de
Jsneiro is going to reach its destina
ton says the San Francisco Exam
iner of Sept. 10. They are looking
TO Collector Wise for information on
this point, but none has been forth
coming. The Rio has, also, a costly
cargo Of silk, which the Mail com
pany is anxious to have released.
The local authorities have nothing
further to dc with a vessel once she
is sent to the quarantine station, and
it remains with DR.. PeckhecA and his
colleagues to determine how long the
quarantine shall last.
