STAYS ONLY SIX HOURS IN PORT
HERE.
Last Mail to San Francisco for Two
Weeks Cause a Rush at the Post
Office.

The office of w. G.. Irwin & Company
was filled by a large crowd of people
anxious to go to San Francisco this
morning. The vessel rather took the
city by surprise, coming in at eight
o. clock and being bulletined to leave at
two O'clock. This left very little time
for preparations and for getting up
mail. 1t was confidently expected that
the steamer would follow precedent and
stay in port till four or five o'clock, and
according to Honolulu custom, letter
writer's did not get their mail up be-
forehand, but waited to see how much
time they had to do it and then began
to rush through it with all possible
speed. The result was almost a tie
up at the post office. There are over
two weeks now before another steamer
leaves for San Francisco, and about
three weeks before any steamer will
take passengers, though there is a
Canadian line steamer in between. AS
result of this state of affairs a heavy
mail poured into the post office.
The Alameda came here with only
a small through list, and was there
fore able to take many Honolulu peo-
pie. She was filled up with the local
bookings, some of the last ones to get
their names on the list being compelled
to go roughing it little. The steerage
and cabin are both full. The following
is the list of the booked ones who are
probably all going:

TO Be EIGHTEEN SALOONS EN ORDERS MULTIPLY
STEAMER RESTRICTIONS CAUSE
TROUBLE.
The Alameda Hemmed in by Orders
From Three Drections-Steerage Pas
sengers Raise a Row.

There were lively times at the Oceanic
wharf this morning when the Alameda
arrived. The new customs and immi-
grafton regulations, with those of the
steamship company, took on some more
unexpected features, and there were
plenty of kicks both on board and on
the dock. 1t was over an hour after
the vessel docked before Honolulu peo-
pie having business on board could get
on the vessel, and it was longer than
that before the steerage passengers
ceased their howl for a chance to get
on shore.
The quarantine and customs officers
got through with the vessel in quick
time, and the first class passengers
came down the gangway. This was a
signal for an assault on the guards by
the steerage people on deck, and the
people on shore, who wanted to see the
purser and steward and other officers.
The crowd stopped both ways and no
one seemed to know why. immigration
| Inspector Baldwin had not yet put In
an appearance, and it was reported that
he was the man for whom all must
wait His office hours begin at nine.
One steerage man insisted that he had
a right to go ashore and started to
leave the vessel. on being told he could
not get back he changed his mind and
cOntented himself with raising a row
on deck, but it was of no use.
Captain Van Oterendorp went to the
Custom House and waited a while to
enter the vessel, after which she was
ready to discharge. Native and other
| stevedores went aboard to work coal
and cargo, and still there was a custom
! house inspector keeping other people
off, and a steamer man at the top to
, help him. The custom house quit first,
! and then there was a ships quarter
master who had strict orders to allow
no one on board. He held the post till
| Captain Van Oterendorp arrived. The
captain was beseiged on two sides. ana
surrendered to both. If the Custom
House was ready he would let people On
board or ashore. The Custom House
was ready, and the troublesome con-
fusion of orders came to an end.

Satisfied WITH MATAAFA.
Governor Says Samoan Chief Has Great
Tact

APIA, Samoa, July 1T is reported
that there has been some hitch in the
administration of the native govern
ment. Mataafa who was appointed to
serve as the agent through whom the
orders of the government We're COM
municated to the native chiefs, was al
legged to have shown an inclination to
regard his position as a little too much
from the faa Samoa standpoint. The
governor has refused absolutely to ap-
point him Tupu of Samoa as the High
Commission decided expressly that all
semblage to the office of king must be
abolished. The Governor expresses the
opinion that Mataafa has been filling
the duties of his Office in a satisfactory
as we'll as tactful manner, despite the
rumors. 1t has been decided not 10

EXECUTIVE INCREASES NUMBER
FOR HONOLULU.
Four More New Licenses to be Granted
Capitol Grounds Corner VIII be Cut
On-Other Business.

The question of the number of saloons
to be allowed in Honolulu, with which
the Executive has wrestled for several
days, was settled this morning by the
passage of motion to increase the
number of retail licenses from fourteen
to eighteen. There are at present four
teen licenses, counting the one just being
issued to c. II. Dement,. Chris Holt has
applied for a license for the brick build
ing in the burned district on Nuuanu
street, between Pauahi and Beretania,
which will be granted making fifteen,
and leaving room for more.
Following the meeting this morning
the Executive repaired to the corner Of
King and Richards streets to examine
the lines of the cutoff proposed by Sur
Veyor w. E. Wall. The Governor and
other members We're favorable to maxi
ing the narrower cut, which will save
some of the trees on the capitol
grounds. This will probably be ap-
proved at the meeting to be held Mon
day morning.
The matter of the extension of Chan
lain Lane west through old Chinatown
was discussed, but it was decided that
such was not wise, the the lane would
divide the blocks so as to leave them
too small.
Mr.. Atkinson reported his project to
make five night schools in place of one
also the plotting of the normal instruc-
tor circuits. Approved.
The question of a new fence around
the Government nursery was referred
to Commissioner Wray Taylor with
power to act.
The matter of natives catching un-
| dersized fish was discussed. The meet
ing agreed that the Legislature should
! be asked to pass some law prescribing
the size of meshes, so that small fish
could not be taken in that way at all.

A DROWNED DOG.
Likely to Cause Litigation for Some
Time.


Time.
Charles Rose appeared in Judge Will
coX's court this morning 10 answer to
a charge of malicious injury for killing
q small dog owned by Il. Gray. Gray
and Rose live in the same lodging house
on Haalealea Lane, but they are not
very good friends, and as a result of the
sudden death of Grays pet dog they are
likely to be engaged in legal battle for
some time. Gray has started after ven
geance in criminal proceedings first,
and he proposes to enter the civil courts
next, with a suit for damages.
The dog that caused all the trouble
was a small terrier which has long been
source of contention. Rose did not
like the animal any better than he liked
its owner, and he is accused of having
filled bathtub with water last week
and drowned the dog in it. When Gray
came home and found that his pet was
no more, he made quick strides to q
lawyers office, and a warrant for ma
licious injury followed Judge Wilcox
postponed the case this morning. 1t viii
be tried tomorrow. II is said that the
defendant intends to plead guilty. After
that Gray will begin suit for damages

The ship 1. F. Chapman, Captain
Carter, got away yesterday afternoon
for New York, with a crew of men
whom she is paying the highest wages
ever offered here for the trip around
the Horn. The crew. all but three, were
shipped by Captain Bray of the Sailors
Home. Owing to the scarcity of men
it became necessary to advance the
price. The old rate of wages, which has
prevailed here for many years, was $40
per month. Captain Carter is paying
$25.

PLAGTrE Az SYDNEY.

The S. S. Alameda this morning
brought the cleanest plague record that
has come from Sydney for some time.
The epidemic of plague is now thought
to be at an end in all the cities of the
Colonies. At Sydney the record on July
was two clean days, and only few
struggling cases during the previous
week. During the last half of juno
there were 10 cases, with only three
deaths. Several sporadic cases were re-
ported at Brisbane.

DISCONTINUED POST OFFICES.
List of Places Where Agents Refused
to Serve.

Postal Inspector Flint has found it
necessary to discontinue a number of
postoftices on the Islands. In the ma
jority of instances the natives who
formerly served as postmasters declin-
ed to take the positions under the Am
erican rules claiming that the pay was
not sufficient. Inspector Flint also
thinks that another reason was because
the natives did not care to bother with
the rather detailed system of reports
which the department requires from all
subordinates. In every instance the
Inspector first asked the original hold
er to qualify under the new system and
if he did not desire to take the position
again to name some one qualified to
succeed him. At any time that the
outside sections desire post office In
spector Flint is ready to install one
without delay.
Following is a list of the offices which
have had to be discontinued on account
of inability to secure postmasters, to-
gether with the changes in names that
have been made. There are Others
which will probably be discontinued

A Cowboy Adoat.

McCabe thinks he Is as good a sailor as he is cowboy, or at least he claims be is. He watched the boatmen handle the cat boats for day or SO, and concluded any man that could ride buckiDg bronchC could manage one of them. After making up his mind to this he was not long in trying. He secured boat and set out for sail. The wind was light; the boat was steady, and all went well. He sailed around the bay, and handled the boat as gracefully as the oldest shellback on the beach. The only thing that bothered him was the tiller ropes, they worked just the opposite to the reins he used when riding a broncho. If he wanted a horse to turn in a certain direction he would pull rein. If he wanted a boat io the same direction he would have to pull rope in the other hand. He was not long getting the hang of ls was always popular with the ladies and after he got so he could handle a boat he was even more so, and had his choice of the fair ones on the island for sailing companion. Last Sunday afternoon he concluded to take a sail and invited a beautiful native daugh- ter of the golden west to accompany him. She was only too glad to go, and they had pleasant sail. As is well known sailing is hungry sort of a job, and as meal time approached the couple thought it was wise to return to land, having taken no provisions with them. As they approached the landing place they noticed there was quite crowd on shore watching them. The boat was coming in on the star
 board tack, and John was prepared to make brilliant landing, for the benefit of the ladies on the shore, and for the benefit of some of the old shell backs he saw there, who had been making fun of his abilities as sailor. The young was standing up and everything was lovely. As they approached the land- ing place John saw that he would have to shift the tiller little to reach the right place, and just then he forgot that he was riding boat, not a broncho. He shifted the tiller the wrong way, the boat went up into the air and the sail gybed. As the boom swept across the boat it caught the young lady, as one of the shell backs said, "a little abaft of mid
 ships," and carried her over the side of the boat out into the water. Her voluminous skirts kept her afioat, but her screams indicated she was not consumptiye. John plunged over board to her rescue, letting the boat % where it would He is not much of a swimmer, and it was several rods to shore. He made desperate efforts to swim and support the fair one, but at one time it looked as though they both would sink. The ladies on the shore screamed for help, but the old shell backs only grinned and would not lift hand to rescue the 1rOwL- ing ones. Finally one walked to the edge of the water and yelled, stand up straight" John quit swimming and stood up, when he found the water was not waist deep. He picked up the native daughter, carried her to shore, where he secured carriage to conduct her to the hotel. The next day hr concluded to visit Los Angeles,
