The China, Captain Seabury, from
Hongkong and Yokohama, was sighted
early yesterday afternoon. Dr. Wood
went out to her in the plot boat and
examined some 600 Celestials and
found them all in good health. At
half-past three o'clock the steamship
was alongside the Pacific Mail wharf
and her passengers, local and through,
were hurrying ashore.
On May 26th, Saturday, the China
left Yokohama; she brings eight saloon
passengers for Honolulu, fifty Chinese
and two Japanese in the steerage,
while she carries nearly six hundred
Chinese for San Francisco Consider
able Oriental freight for this city has
to be discharged before O'Clock this
afternoon when the China will sail for
San Francisco. Several days later
news of the outside world was brought
by the big liner. Her passenger list is
published in another column

Nearly three weeks ago the Rob Roy

Not a Nice Business.
The crimp" business-shippng-
masters are generally known az
'crimps'-is in the hands Of one cor

not John Erdall, nor John O'Dell, is
seriously thinking Of going out of the
business of trafficking in men. He says
it doesn't pay. He ought to know for
he has recently been up against some
pretty hard facts. His face is still a
terrible sight and his body is stiff all
over from the terrible beating receiv-
ed at the hands Of cowardly midnight
assassins on Kaahumanu street last
week. One man has admitted that he
was concerned in the affair. He was
paid for his dirty work.
