THE GLENCAIRDS DIFFICULTIES.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-The Brit
ish ship Glencaird, lying in the stream
waiting for q crew before sailing Tor
Queenstown with load of grain, has
prospective troubles as well as present
difficulties Captain English lost nearly
all his men by desertion some time ago,
and for the past few days has been
shipping all kinds of landsmen in their
places. He has still several men to
sign in order to sail with a full compile
ment, when his troubles at sea will be-
gin In the meantime the Glencaird
lies in the water laden one and one-half
inches below the Plimsol mark, and,
while she has been accepted by the un-
derwriters, there is danger that the
Board of Trade will impose a penalty
upon Captain English If he arrives at
any Of the British ports with the Plim-
sol mark under water. The British
laws are very strict in this regard. and
Captain English may be called upon to
pay fine of $500 or undergo imprison-
ment for three months for violation of
the laws. 1t is said that the discharg
ing of only fifty tons of freight would
bring the Glencaird UP to the required
draught, but Captain English, who has
left port on previous occasions with
heavy cargoes, appears to be willing to
risk getting through all right
SEASON OF FAST VOYAGES.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s.-The linn
tied season of quick and fair weather
voyages from the Hawaiian Islands Is
here. 1t comes usually with the Indian
summer weather on the Mainland, and
for a few weeks good passages may
be expected of the sailing vessels COM
ing from the Islands. The first to make
a quick passage is the bark Albert
which arrived yesterday, only fifteen
days from Honolulu.
KINYOUN'S ERRATIC ACTS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. because
the ship ST. Nicholas brought the bodies
of two deceased Cinnamon from the
northern canneries she was detained all
night in quarantine by Kinyoun, the
quarantine official. He also caused un-
necessary delay to the steamer UNA
tilla. according to those on board, and
many of them declare they will not
again be caught by the San Francisco
quarantine station. One of the attaches
at the station is reported to have told
the Umatilla's passengers that they had
mo kick coming" as their treatment
was nothing compared with what the
steamer Walla Walla would get when
she reached port again. This threat
is believed to be occasioned by the fact
that steerage passenger left quaran-
tine with the cabin passengers of the
Walla Walla upon her last arrival here
from Victoria, though it was through
no fault of the steamers officers.
SAILORS DEMAND HIGH WAGES.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.-An excit-
ing time is reported to have been had
on board the ship Two Brothers, just
from the northern canneries. crew
was shipped at $50 per month per man
ago, but at Bristol Bay the men be-
came independent and demanded 500
month. 1t was promptly refused, and
then the members of the crew, accord
ing to the story, made things decidedly
interesting, and prevented a crew of
fishermen from being put in their
places After numerous fights an agree
ment was reached by which the original
crew remained with the ship.
QUEEN GOING TO HONOLULU.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.-Arrange-
ments have finally been completed
