An American Steamer.

Captain ]. H. Jacobsen of the Amer
lean steamer Kaiulani has left his ship
and she is in the harbor alongside of
the Cyrus Wakefield. There has been
some disagreement between the Wilder
Company, the agents of the steamer,
and the captain, and so he refuses to
go back aboard. AS the steamer has
an American registry and as only
properly licensed steamboat captains
and officers are allowed to navigate
American ships, there is likely to be
temporary tying up of the new YES
sci until some arrangement is made
between captain and company. The
kaiulani has temporary coastwise IL
cense from the Hawaiian authorities,
although she has been refused Hawaii
an registry. In case an attempt is
made to run her without him Captain
Jacobsen says he will appeal to the
American Consul here, who will have
to uphold him in his position. The
same officers are aboard her as when
she arrived from the Coast.
The Inverness Shire.
There is pilikia aboard the British
ship Inverness-shire. The crew has
refused duty and gang of longshore-
men were put aboard yesterday to pre-
pare her for going outside. Being al.
iron ship she will remain outside fslmi-
eating for twenty-four hours and if,
by the time she is ready to leave her
anchorage, the crew still refuse duty,
a gang of men will be taken out to
heave anchor and bend sail and the
captain will then start on his trip to
the Sound, taking chances on the crew
resuming work or being treated as
mutineers.
No Shipbuilding Trust.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ARTHUR
Sewall states that there is no truth in
| the report that the large shipbuilding
! firms of the United States have COM
bined. He has never been advised of
any such scheme, and the Bath ship
building plant, at least, is not a part
of any trust or combination. Mr.. Sew
all's yard at Bath, in which his young
er son and nephew are partners, en-
ploys 300 men regularly. The firm re-
tainS controlling interest in every
vessel constructed at the yards. One
of the finest ships ever built by the
Sewalls is the Shenandoah, now in
this harbor, and her skipper, Captain
Murphy, is one of the youngest captain!
in the deep-sea service, being scarce
ly q years of age. 81 believe in Civ
ing competent young men a chance,
remarked Mr. Sewall yesterday, refer
ring to Captain Murphy. TOO man!
men are held back until their bes
days are past. The young men ar
the strength of a nation, so let then
show their mettle.'

A San Francisco paper of the It

much freight offering for Honolulu a
the Australia can carry and tn
chances are that the Zealandia will b
put on the run. She is now ready an
fitted out for the Cape Nome trade i
- the spring, but she can easily make
trip to Hawaii before the rush TO tn
