Big Inward Bound Fleet.

Eight vessels from foreign ports sail
ing through the channel and into the
harbor between sunrise and darkness
yesterday kept the customs and harbor
officials busy. The liner Gaelic. which
anchored off port Thursday night, came
up to the Pacific Mail wharf early in
the morning and was all day discharg-
ing a big cargo of Oriental merchan-
disc. She brought 634 Japanese immi-
grants. The ship Eclipse arrived be-
fore noon with coal from Newcastle,
and during the afternoon the following
sailing vessels arrived: The schooner
Vine, with general merchandise from
San Francisco; the Golfers Sintram
and Charmer, from Departure Bay with
full cargoes: the schooner Transit and
bark Andrew WEIGH, with live stock
and general cargo from San Francisco;
and the schooner Winslow, lumber
laden from Tacoma. All these wind
TANNERS were compelled to anchor in
the stream except the Transit, which |
was permitted to discharge some hogs
at the Railway wharf The Andrew
WEIGH will probably be accommodated
with the berth to be vacated by the
Davis at Irmgard wharf, but |
it looks as if there was a long wait for
the other vessels. The arrival of this !
bunch of sailing vessels carrying lum- |
Der. coal live stock and merchandise |
will relieve the local market greatly. |
There is still half dozen coal ships |
from Tacoma: the II. B. Hyde from |
Norfolk and some with general cargo |
from European ports expected within |
the next week The PoseedOn and |
Castle. from Liverpool. are |
out over three months.
