Captain CAMERON, PILOT.
POPULAR OFFICER GOES TO NEW
POSITION.
Man Who Has Made History as Master
of the Claudine-Will be Extra Pilot
Provided For.

CAPTAIN Edward r. Cameron OF the
steamer Claudine, has been appointed
a pilot for the port of Honolulu. He
is to be the new pilot authorized under
the bill just passed by the Council of
State, and will have a salary of 5000 a
month.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
appointment will meet with general ap-
proval, as Captain Cameron is one of
the most popular masters in these wa
ters, and has the complete confidence of
everybody. In fact, he is accounted one
of the most competent sailors in the
Pacific, and as a Hawaiian pilot his
superior probably could not have been
found.
Captain Cameron has been in and
near the Hawaiian Islands for the past
twenty years. His local history was
made as master of the Claudine. In his
entire career he never had an accident
of any sort due to any lack of caution
or skill on his part. In 1898, when the
annexation commission wanted mas
ter to take them to San Francisco, they
selected Captain Cameron and he made
the trip in the Claudine. The new pilot
has for many years held United
States captains license.
Last autumn Captain Cameron was
taken quite i'll and was laid up for sew
eral weeks. 1t was during this period
that the Claudine, in command of an
other officer, and the William Carson
collided at sea, resulting in the wreck
of the latter vessel.

JAMES Campbell 5 WILL

The will of the late James Campbell
was filed in the Circuit court early this
afternoon.
The inventory of property shows the
following: Real estate in the Hawaiian
Islands, $fT0,16O: real estate at San Die
go, $3.50, 900; personal property. cash,
etc, 1882, 591 Is, Total, $l,902 SOL .15.
This does not represent the value of
the estate as such property as stocks,
etc, are put in at par value.
Mrs. Campbell the widow, is given
one-third of the personal property in
cash, which will amount to the neat
sum of 1921, 80 3S. She also gets one
third the income from the estate. The
children get the balance. A board of
executors and trustees, consisting of
Cecil Brown, ]. o. Carter and Mrs
Campbell is appointed to carry out the
provisions of the will, and to manage
the estate.

STAIEROONS CONE HIGH
BIG PRICE OF ACCOMMODATIONS
ON THE CoPTIC.
Officers Sell Their Quarters on the
Vessel to Passengers-The Steamer in
Strict Quarantine.

Travel to the Paris Exposition has
taken the place of the plague as an in
terruption to travel between here and
the Coast. Staterooms on the steam
ship Coptic, which leaves this afternoon
for San Francisco, are worth from $75
up The vessel arrived here almost full
and lot of passengers who wanted to
get away, began to bid for the officers
quarters. Some of the staterooms are
reported to have sold as high as $125,
making the purchasers fare to the
Coast 5000. The officers who give up
their rooms will sling hammocks, or
sleep in the steerage, or wherever they
can find a place. Seventy-five dollars
is considered worth earning by a little
inconvenience for six days.
The Coptic has a list of 75 through
passengers from the Orient. A large
proportion of them are going to the
Paris Exposition. The Alameda, due to
leave here today for San Francisco
comes from the Colonies in about the
same condition. Travel to Paris has
begun from all parts of the world and
the transportation companies need all
their facilities.
The Doric is in very strict quarantine
San Francisco authorities have beer
severe lately with several steamers
from here, quarantining them on ac-
count of sick Chinese or Japs in the
crew, and Captain Kinder did not want
to take any chances.

gers booked, but only the following

SICK CHINAMEN

Two sick Chinese through passengers
were left behind by the steamer Coptic.
One of them is very seriously i'll with
pneumonia, and the other has cerebro-
spinal meningitis. Had they died be-
tween here and San Francisco it would
probably have made much trouble for
the steamer. Both are on quarantine
island. One of the Cinnamon was
bound for New York; the other for San
Francisco.

The brick manufactory in Nuuanu

handiwork fresh from the mortars AS
soon as the bricks have a day of sun
shine a kiln will be constructed out of
them and they will be burned. Chinese
are doing the molding and packing.
They are better at this than any other
nationality. The only obstacle in the
way of rapid work is the lack Of room
for drying.
