WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD SIGNAL STA
TION, September IL, 10 p. m.-The
weather is hazy; wind, light, north.
The Government of Corea has an
nounced that the ports of Chenaupo
and Mokpu will be opened for foreign
trade from and after October 1, 1897.
The Hawaii is expected in today
from Hilo. She left there Thursday
evening, after having finished loading
the Roderick Dhu with sugar for San
Francisco.
The U. S. s. Philadelphia got away
on her five-days' cruise yesterday morn
ing at about $50 o'clock. She steamed
out of the harbor without the assist
ance of a pilot and made off in the
direction of Maui.
Purser Beckley of the Kinau reports
the following: Passed u. S. S. Phila-
delphia off Koko Head at about 10
a. M; the Hawaiian bark Roderick
Dhu will probably leave Hilo for San
Francisco today with a full cargo of
sugar; the four-masted schooner No
komis has arrived in Hilo with 660,000
feet of lumber for H. Hackfeld & Co.
The Italian bark Fiducia, Captain
Razeto, from Pascagoula, on June 4th
for Marseilles, was spoken on August
10th in lat. SO, lon. 4, and reported hav-
ing been boarded on August 18th
abreast of Cape Baba by IA pirates,
who fired on the crew, ransacked the
vessel, stole the papers, charts, instru-
ments, provisions and the clothing of
the crew cut the running-gear and
carried off the captain, boatswain and
a seaman. The Ffducia was supplied
with provisions and instruments by a
passing vessel, and was thus enabled
to proceed. Several vessels in the past
few years have been boarded by pi-
rates in this vicinity, and as the war
ship of today is so distinguished from
any vessel in the merchant service,
there is hardly any chance of catching
the perpetrators of such daring acts.

The Rosedale Orb which has long
been the'standard democratic news
paper OF our sister city Rosedale,
has at last secumed to the inevi-
table and defuncted. The plant is
more than thirty years old and did
very will until the last twelve
years under its present editorship.
Mr.. Glenway, although friendly
with us, has brought his plant to
obstruction by his uncalled for at
tacks on good citizens, and his iE-
stability in his party. He harbored
personalities against prominent
members OF. his political creed
whom he fought in underhand,
causing a revolution and an estab-
lishment of the Journal, a demo-
cratic paper which is now flourish
ing and has the undivided support
of the people and party. Mr.. Glen
way has none to blame for his down
fall but himself. He has run him
self out, and an old, reliable paper
into the ground. We are sorry to
see the Orb go down but it is right
that rottenness should not be re
warded. We welcome the Journal
as champion of fhe Rosedale de-
mocracy.
