way-City Front News and Gossip

The Edward May is alongside The
Mauna Loa receiving sugar.
The S. S. Alameda is due from San
Francisco at daylight tomorrow.
The Mauna Ala went on the marine
railway for general repairs this morn
ing.
The brig w. G. Irwin, winner of the
great race to San Francisco, is due
here from the Coast.
The barkentine S. G. Wilder had a
long stay of it in port this time, hav-
ing arrived here on December Goth.
The schooner Alice Cooke ought 10
be here on Monday or Tuesday, if she
sailed on the 2Sth ult., as advertised
The Bryant, having secured suffici-
ent sugar for ballast, has gone along
side Brewers wharf to finish dis
charging brick.
The Martha Davis received her first
consignment of sugar this morning
from the James Makee. The Makee
arrived this morning from Kapaa with
1900 bags.
The Alameda mail will probably
bring definite news tomorrow of the
sailing of the new Wilder steamer
Maui. Chief Engineer johnson has
instruction to secure a captain for her
at the Coast, and will probably come
down in her.
The Fort George finished discharg-
ing yesterday and moved up town to
moorings alongside the Hyde. As
soon as the remainder of the ballast is
taken aboard and her sails beat on
the Fort George will depart for the
Sound, probably before the end of the
week
In digging out the sand bar off the
lighthouse the dredger is forming {
new island on the mud flats just be
yond. This fact is causing the water
front denizens no little amount o.
worry, as they are at a loss to under
stand who the new island will belong

advanced that the Hawaiian govern
ment will have to formally annex tn,
! island, or stand chance of its bein!
seized by some foreign power as
coaling station.
| 1t is currently reported along TIL
water front that the schooner Emm;
and Louisa recently in port here from
San Diego, has been sold to Klondik
ers for 100000 The vessel was offer
| ed for sale here for $1,000, but al
though her skipper has three offers
he refused to sell her for less. Klondi
| kers have made good offer for tn,
schooner Waialua, but have not ye
bid high enough for the owners.
they can get $4,000 for the craft the,
| will sell her; if not, she will be chart
cred to people who want to send he,
on a voyage in the South Seas.
| The bark S. c. Allen, barkentine w
G. Wilder and barkentine Arago will
sail for San Francisco this afternoon
| if they can get the wind The tire,
ought to make very pretty race
Capt. Johnson says the Allen is too
deeply laden for fast work. He is am
bilious, however, to overtalte the Rith
ct, which sailed three days ago, and h,
thinks he can if he gets decent wealth
er The Arago is a fast sailer, bu
probably cannot beat the Wilder, un
der equal conditions. 1t will give tn,
shippers an opportunity to dispia,
their qualities as sailing masters. TIL,
Arago may not get away until tomor
row.
Last night Alternate District Judg
Peterson signed complaint of Chas
Robinson, cook of the S. S. Amur, t.
recover about $50 due on wages nc
count, but it failed to detain the stea
mer in port. She sailed early thi
morning for Victoria, taking the cool
with her In the opinion of the depu
ty marshal such a complaint, in tn
district court, is not serviceable, ant
the papers were not served at all. Tn
Amur simply shifted coal from he
hold to her bunl<ers, and took ION
fresh water supply. Capt. HIears ex
poets to make the run up in ten days
He will then turn the steamer over t
her new owners, who will fit her on
| for the Klondike.
