CHINA BEATS ALL RECORDS
SETS 4 NEW PACE FOR PACIFIC
OCEAN LINERS.
Conquers in Spite of Adverse Condi-
tions-Incidents of Memorable
Voyage From Yokohama.

With her smokestack encrusted
with salt and her decks wet from the
wash of heavy seas, the big Pacific
Mail liner China. dropped anchor out
side last night at 11:13 o'clock, hav-
ing made the run from Yokohama in
the remarkable time of days hours
Is minutes. breaking all previous rec
ords between the two ports by 25
hours 40 minutes. The voyage was
made under the most unfavorable con-
ditions. but in spite of all drawbacks,
an average speed of III knots was
maintained from anchorage to anchor
age, and a maximum speed record rs-
tablished of 1885 knots on a four
hours run.
1t was great disappointment To
General Manager Schwerin of the Pa
citic Mail Company. who is passen-
ger aboard the China, that the con-
ditions were not more favorable, for
he is confident that the big liner could
have made the run in less than
days, but at the same time he is
more than satisfied with her perform
ance. AS a matter of fact out of the
eight days consumed in the voyage,
there were only two favorable for
the sea was so rough that the tables
were bare. The wind came from all
points of the compass and the steam
ship. driven at so high a rate of
speed, buried her bow so deep in the
waves that her lower deck was al
most continually awash.
Chief Ferguson says that the last
two days of the voyage were the only

ing. and it was then that the full ca
pacity of the engines was tried for
few hours, showing what the China
can do when tbs required of her

passage is as fo8ows:

For four hours on one days run
she was let out and made 1885 knots

For over "a hours actual running

HE REGISTERS a KICK.
Editor of the Baltimore Siren Com
ments on the Tram Car.

One of the worst features of the
street car system in Honolulu is the
overcrowding of the cars, particularly
noticeable during the theater season.
The car wobbles along with every seat
occupied, and at the next corner is
hailed by a party of four women, five
children and two men; the driver
yells "Git in" and they git i'm"
They jam five persons into IA seat in
tended for three. they stand in the
aisle, treading on other peoples feet,
eXuding perspiration and microbes;
but they git in" Babes in arms
then squall, and long-legged boys and
girls (under age) that kick and climb
and wriggle, pay no fare, and do not
count in the cars cargo; but they
."git in." Everybody is uncomfort-
able, and what might have been a
pleasant ride is turned into a purga-
tory on wheels. If the mode of trav-
el cannot be other than mules. let US
at least have enough of them.
