The attack upon the Hawaiian la
Dor system has sprung up again." said
T. w. Hebron this morning. I'm an af-
fair of this kind everyone knows that
the papers making the attack are look
ing for subsidy. 1t will be continued
for some weeks, ana then, if subsidy is
not forthcoming, the attack will die
down, and the papers will quit. Every
body of any weight understands the OBJ
ject and the value of the attacks is of
little avail.
Business is excessively brisk in all
lines, and everyone is looking towards
the Hawaiian Islands as a field for en-
terprise. 1t is surprising how much in
terest is taken in the progress of the
Islands The dispatch of so many
transports to Manila is also making a
considerable stir, and makes things
lively in business circles.

preparations for their reception We're
being made upon a grand scale. San
Francisco intends to make the recep-

The America Maru overlook and passed

Mr.. Hebron was away four months
In that time he had quite a good time
in the Bay City. OF course being the
admiral of the local yachting fleet he
had to take an interest in such matters
over there.
Yes, I went out on all sort sort of
craft" said he continuing. zone spin |
had was something like twenty five
miles inland in a stream so morrow that
the sails caught in the growth along the
banks. But this was one of the finest
sails 1 ever made in my life.

came convinced of as never before, we
have right here the finest water for
yachting on the Pacific side of the
United States. Why. on the coast of
California they are running nearly all
the time in shoals or on mud Banks,

now do the advantage in every parti-

Mr.. Hebron did not buy a new yacht
on the Coast. He says that Island pco .
pie just now are not placing any or

Paloma was to leave San Francisco
last Sunday for Honolulu. She is a
fine craft of about fifty tons. The mate
of the Andrew Welch is bringing her
down.
While at San Francisco, Mr. Hebron,
S. T. Alexander, l.. A. Thurston and
Chas. T. Wilder went down to look
over the schooner Aggie with a view to
purchasing her for a business and
pleasure trip in the South Seas. These
gentlemen have arranged to leave next
January in a suitable pleasure boat on
such an excursion. When Mr.. Hebron
| left it was about settled to purchase
| the Aggie.
