Saving Coal Makes the

A Big Rush Of Freight for the
Other Islands. :

pom Maru, contrary to expectations.
did not turn up until yesterday morn
ing, instead of the day before. Coal
is being saved by all the steamers now
except the old Australia 1t took the
Nippon six days and seventeen hours
to make the run. This was not on ac-
count of poor coal, but because the
company has given orders that a seven
days voyage is quick enough and coal
must be saved. According to the time
schedule arranged by the Spreckels
people with the New Zealand mails,
the trip from San Francisco to this
port should be made in little over
five days. The China and City of. Pc
king will then have to look to their
laurels if they try to compete with the
new boats in the matter of time The
N1ppon'S trip was an uneventful one
Fine weather was experienced all the
way. Twenty-six tons of merchandise
were all the freight brought. The
steamer got away for the Orient on
time. She is the first foreign steamer
to arrive here since the quarantine
was raised.
The schooner G. w. Watson, which
arrived from Port Townsend yesterday,
made very smart round trip from
this port. She left here in ballast on
March 8th and reached, loaded, and
left Port Townsend by the 10th of
April, making the voyage here in TWEEN
ty-two days Captain Petersen has
his wife and child with him this trip
The WatsonS cargo consists of 44S 900
feet of lumber, $4,000 laths, 127 900
shingles and 440 cedar piles.
There are quite number of vessels
on the way to the Islands from the
Coast now. The Santiago, Planter and
S. N. Castle all left San Francisco on
the same day and within a few hours
of each other. The Santiago is for
Hilo, the other two for this port. AL
ready wagers are being made as to the
time of arrival of the first of the trio
and the Santiago is thought to have the
best chance. The Planter is expected
to beat the Castle here. All the YES
sells have large cargoes of general mer-
chandise.
When the quarantine was on there
used to be a jam of drays at the
wharves when vessels were loading for
the other islands. The jam was caus-
ed by the spraying process and inspec-
ton imposed by health regulations.
Yesterday the Inter-Island wharf was a
scene of hustle all day from O'Clock
until noon. There was a constant
stream of heavily laden wagons and
drays lined up waiting their turns at
the wharf entrance. At o'clock when
the whistles blew the drays were still
crowding around the gate. A half
dozen drivers who were fortunate
enough to get inside the fence with
loads unhitched their horses on the
wharf where the drays were left with
their goods all night to be ready the
first thing in the morning. A long pro-
cession of other drays went home
making Fort street much resemble
Market street in San Francisco about
3 O'Clock in the evening The rush to
get goods off is tremendous and the
orders from the other islands are still
piling up at great rate. When on
Monday and Tuesday there was a great
amount of Oriental freight shipped
yesterday there was little as compared
with the goods of white merchants
