Make Themselves Conspicuous.

AS. the steamship America Maru came
alongside the Pacific Mail wharf yes
Iterday afternoon there were couple on
the boat who were evidently very much
afraid that Honolulu might fail to rec
ognfze their approach. The man wore
a soft hat, which was continually
tempting the wind, also creased trous-
ers, a cigarette and cane. His COM
ipanfcn wore top boots beneath her
skirts and wasn't going to let anybody
| lose sight of the fact.
While the gangway was still in hor-
Iizontal position, on a level with the
deck, held in position by it's tackle, the
gay pair waltzed out to the end of it
and held on to the ropes, evidently in
tending to be the first to get ashore
when the gangway was lowered.
The man amused himself by jumping
up and down and rocking the gangway,
while the woman giggled and exhibited
| the top boots.
| Just as the couple were expressing
their ideas of Honolulu's charms, in a
loud voice, as viewed from a swaying
gangway above the heads of great
crowd on the wharf, the mans hat was
lifted from his head by the wind. The
| crowd on the wharf roared with de-
light. Come off the perch!" cried
somebody in the crowd and immedi-
!ately the crowd caught the inspiration
and made fun of the people who were
doing a stunt on the gangway.
| About this time the customs inspector
on the vessel ordered the pair off the
gangway and, although the lady sassed
back, they finally decided to be good

zealandia Brings Porto R,cans.

Two trains bearing 545 Porto Ricans
went through Los Angeles county, on
the Southern Pacific Railroad, on the
night of the 18th, under cover of dark
ness and by daylight the voyagers
were all aboard the steamer Zealandia
at Port Los Angeles. A little later the
ship sailed for Honolulu. The railroad
officials maintained the greatest secre-
cy as to the movements of the special
trains bearing the Islanders. The work
of getting the passengers aboard the
steamer was executed with dispatch.
Energetic agents flew about the wharf
and spurred on the laggards.
Some of the Islanders, who stopped
to view the scenery from the pier as
they smoked their cigarettes and big
black cigars, were urgently caught by
their arms or coat collars and made to
step lively over the gangpIank. Cot
fee, with bread and butter, was served
to the travellers on the main deck after
they went aboard. Butter was lux
ury with which they We're apparently
unacquainted, and they ate it in great
Jumps. instead of spreading It,
Many of the men smoked cigarettes,
but a large number of women were in
dulging in a heavier form of rolled
weed. One woman, with a nursing
child, sat in the crowd, and as her in
fant contentedly drew nouriShment,
the mother puffed away at a big black
cigar with an air of deep satisfaction.
The travellers were comfortably cloth
ed, many Of them having had their

ers to whose places they are now go

Generally the voyagers, it is said, are

The Hancock Arrives.

The transport Hancock, bearing the
Thirtieth Infantry, made up almost
wholly of men from Illinois and Michi-
gan, reached San Francisco on the 18th
instant, twenty three days from Ma
Mia, and sixteen days and ten hours
from Nagasaki. This time, while above
the average of the transports, was
slow for the Hancock, which, while
known as the Arizona, was one of the
speed wonders of the Atlantic. 1t was
an unusually fortunate trip, and for
the first time since she has been in
the government service the Hancock
had no deaths on the long voyage from
i the Philippines.

wreck of the steamer Rio. the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company has offered
a reward of 81, 900 to the person or per-
sons definitely locating the wreck to
the satisfaction of the company. This
is done because it is practically GER
tain that, If she lies in shallow water
enough for diving operations, much of
the valuable cargo can be saved. The
raw silk would not be spoiled for man
ufacturing operations, provided it were
kept wet until handed over to the
manufacturer. The mating, If care
fully dried, would detoriate little in
value. The tea, or at least such part
as is packed in lead, would probably
be uninjured, and the water would not
spoil some of the general merchandise.
This offer throws open the search to
the general public.
Memorial for Capt. Ward.
In memory of the late William Ward,
who lost his life in the wreck of the
steamer Rio de Janeiro, of which he
was the captain, services were held on
March 10 at the Trinity Episcopal
Church, in San Francisco. While be-
ing simple and brief, not occupying
f, more than ten minutes time, the cere-
monies were impressive. Several mu
steal selections were rendered by the
church choir, and the pastor, Rev. Dr.
Clampett, read passages from the BIZ
BILE, including the fifteenth chapter OF
Corinthians.
| The services were attended by about
fifty persons, and among those present
in mourning for the dead captain were
his brother, John Ward, and Miss Lee
ma Jackson, Captain Wards intended
bride. The altar was decorated with
! lilies.

Old Australia Overdue.

Lack of any means of communication
with Tahiti other than by steamer
from Auckland or San Francisco rem
derS it difficult to obtain any news OF
the steamer Australia after she sails
from the Coast until the return of the
vessel. According to the schedule made
out when the Australia left San Fran
cisco early in February, the steamer
was due on the return trip on the 10th,
but she had not been reported when
the America Maru left San Francisco.
On the last trip from Tahiti, made in
ten and a half days, the Australia was
stopped several times on account of
disabled boilers, and after slight re-
pairs was sent out again on the long
voyage of 300 miles to Tahiti. The
steamer carried a supply of boiler
tubes, and the delay of the vessel may
have been occasioned by repairs made
while. in the port at Tahiti.

Rio Wreck in Court.

growing out of the disaster, was filed

the victims, has brought two actions
one to recover $25, 600 damages, and the
other for the cost of transportation
and the personal effects lost in the
wreck.
The plaintiff makes sweeping charg-
es of neglect. The officers of the YES
