 Runs to Honolulu.
The Alameda Searched for an Escaped Murderer From
 Auckland
Total Loss of the British Steamer FitzrOy on the Australian
 Coast.

Captain Hubbard of the barkentine
 s. N. Castle has most remarkable
 record as a South Sea Island trader.
 The vessel Is scheduled to sail for Hon olulu tomorrow and Captain Hubbard
 will then start on his 101st consecutive
 run to that port. Masters of steamers
 have made the same number of runs,
 but nobody approaches Captain Hub
 bard's record. His first trip to Hawaii
 was on the schooner Juventa in 1864
 In those days Honolulu was not the
 fiOurishing city it is now, and the
 Kamehamehas sat on the throne of
 their fathers. His next command in
 the Hawaiian trade was in the bark
 Clara Sutel and later he was in the
 barkentine Jane A. Falkenberg, the
 bark Caribbean and now the barken-
 tine s. N. Castle. Up to 1876 Captain
 Hubbard was not constantly in the
 island trade. but since that date his
 every voyage off San Francisco has in
 cluded Honolulu as a port of call. The
 captain is still one of the halest and
 heartiest shippers in port and expects
 to complete his 150th trip to the Para
 disc of the Pacific before retiring.
 The Oceanic Steamship Company's Alameda arrived from Sydney via
 Auckland, Apia and Honolulu yester- | day. From the time she left Sydney
 until San Francisco was reached noth- ing but strong head winds were en- countered. Before leaving Honolulu it
 was thought that she would not get ! here until to-day, but good time was
 made and the splendid steamship made port within an hour or so of her regu-
 lar time. The passengers by the steam l CT say that President Dole of Hawaii and Dr. Day, his physician. will be 1 passengers for San Francisco by the Peru, scheduled to arrive here to-mor- ] row. On her arrival they will go to

 E. Tweedie, a priZefighter, was a ] passenger by the Alameda. He fights
 at 125 pounds and has come over here ] to see if he can get match.

A line can 1 thus be got on Tweedie's ability as Me ] Golf easily defeated Jimmy Barry and ] Cal McCarty. Fowles says that Tweedie 1 has only been bested once. On that oc- casion the decision was against him i on points, but that he afterward de- 1 feated his conqueror in a most con | vincing manner.

He was acting under cable 1 instructions to arrest Dr. Arthur Hurl- i bert, who was wanted in Auckland N 1 E., on a charge of murder.
