Luminous Neteorite Seen From thu
Deck of Vera Off

~ rough weather for four week
while rounding the Horn. delayed the
German bark Vera When the bark
entered Honolulu harbor yesterday
morning behind the tug Fearless she
had completed voyage from Bremen
lasting just 157 days. She brings a
general cargo consigned to Hackfeld &
Co, not the least of which is a large
lot of gin and wines, while few pia-
nos, made in Germany" are on the
manifest. She came into port early
yesterday morning and is now moored
at Brewers wharf. Captain Brunings
is in command of the bark, which is
registered S57 tons This is the first
trip of the captain and vessel to this
port, but will probably not be the last.
From Honolulu the Werra goes to Port
land to load cereals for Germany. Mate
Gerdes is making his second visit here
in twelve years. He was first here on
the Discovery. One of the Vera S
trips, made between Chilli and Ger
many, proved her to be speedy yes
sci when there is enough wind to fill her
sails properly. On this voyage she was
eighty-one days which is considered a
fine record. Another quick voyage was
between Durham, Africa, and Mel
bourne, the distance being covered in
twenty EIGHT days.
On the meteorological record of the
Vera, Captain Brunings has made an
entry which he believes will be inter-
esting to astronomers. Yesterday
morning at $50 O'Clock, while the bark
was near Molokai, the captain was on
deck, when suddenly streak of light
shot seemingly out of the ocean and
mounted heavenwards. The streak did
not make it's trajectory so fast that the
captain could not follow it and he had
a good opportunity to watch the thing,
which was a large. luminous meteorite,
seemingly rise to great height along
the arch of the heavens and then take
a downward course. finally disappear
ing behind the Molokai pail. 1t was a
sight which he says he has never be-
fore seen in all his thirty-seven years
of sea experience.
The great four-masted German ship
Bertha, 1905 tons, captained by K.
Brunings, brother of the master of the
Vera, is also loading at Bremen for
Honolulu. She is the largest ship ever
chartered for this port. Both vessels
are owned by Watjen &, Co

Failed to Deliver Mails.


For failure to deliver two bags or
mail which arrived last Saturday on
the steamer Kauai from the Garden
Isle, the Inter Island Steam NavIga-

postal authorities and the purser IS
now looking for another job. The
steamer brought over only two bags
of mail from the Kauaians, put small
as were the parcels the postal regula-
lions were violated in their not being
delivered until the following Monday
morning. The purser failed to notify
the postoffice that mail had arrived,
and nothing was known Of it until
Monday morning. 1t was a clear viola
ton of existing regulations, inasmuch
as the various Inter-Island steamers
are paid for carrying the United States
mails. The company has to stand the
loss. and discharged the purser as a

the Dollar Steamship Company, was

when the fire broke out was Captain
Wehrmann, who was reading in his
room amidships, about 2:30 o'clock in
the morning, when he detected the
odor of smoke. He hastily ascertained
that the fire came from the storeroom
at the stern of the vessel, but ne was
unable to extinguish it, The fire
gained such rapid Roadway that it was
seen by members of the life saving
station on the side of the bay, and a
boats crew put off for the burning yes

The life savers were unable to fight the
flames. The Spreckels tug Reliance
reached the Aloha at 7:30 o'clock in the
morning, and after running the vessel
on the mud, poured two large streams
of water into the Aloha, finally quench-
ing the fire. but not before the vessel

THE PILOTAGE DECISION.
An Important Opinion to which Little
Attention Was Given.

NEW YORK. May 30.-Commenting on

test cases the Washington correspondent
OF the Tribune says that AT the capital il Is
thought the ~pilotage decision, which at
tracted little attention at the time. but
was handed down with the other insular
decisions last Monday will be construed as
extending the regulations of the coastwise
trade TO the Philippines as well as 10 Porto
Rico and Hawaii. By direction OF the Pres
ident and on recommendation of the Bureau
of Navigation of the Treasury Department
the coastwise regulations were extended TO
Porto Rico soon after the ratification OF
the Paris treaty. or in August. 1898. about
the same time they were also extended
to Hawaii. What is known as the pilotage
case. which was argued by ex-senator
Lindsay. of Kentucky. was friendly liti-
cation brought TO test the legality of these
extensions of the shipping laws. The su-
preme Court sustained the Presidents act.
and II is now thought there will be a de-
mand TO extend the regulations 10 the
Philippines In pursuance OF the courts
mandate. Shipping men say this would be
a serious blow to American shipping. II =

spirit. They make us think of the brave
men who fell in battle; of those who came
