Mourning for rhIrtx pax..

Washington, March 1s.-The ma
tional capital is in mourning. Flags
are at half-mast not only upon all
public buildings but upon tire hotels,
stores and many of the private resi-
dences. The act of 1893 inhibits the
draping of public buildings in black,
as was the custom formerly upon the
death of an eX-president. President
Mckinley was deeply affected by the
death of ex-President Harrison and
directed that the doors of the exec
utive mansion be closed to visitors and
denied himself to callers except those
who had business of urgent impor-
tance. Immediately upon receipt of
the news he decided to attend the
funeral. President Mckinley issued
proclamation formally notifying the
people of the country of the death
of their former chief magistrate and
directing the observance of a period
of mourning for 80 days. In pur-
suance of this proclamation the flags
on every public building in the United
States, at every army post in the
United States, Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
waii and the Philippines and on every
American warship in whatever quar-
ter of the globe will fly at half-mast
for 80 days.

Justice Harlan of the United States
Supreme Court and an Episcopal cler-
gyman of the national capital were
playing game of golf a few days ago
at Chevy Chase, when Justice Harlan,
after particularly long drive, turned
to his clerical opponent and told him
to better that if he could. The church
man teed UP his ball with care, swung
his club two or three times to timber
up for big drive, and then swung at
the ball with all his might. The head
of the club famed the air, leaving the
ball tantalizingly on The tee. Without
a word, but with a face full of express

at his legal opponent for fully min

sonoma a Record Breaker.

Considerable interest was manifested
at sydney in the arrival on February
Is of the A and A. RMS. Sonoma ana
the Union s. S. Company's Mararoa, d
cable from Auckland having mentioned
that the two liners were racing across
the Tasman sea.
The Union liner left the wharf at
Auckland at midnight on February IL
and the Royal Mail steamer LETT the
mornings at Auckland at O'Clock on
the following morning, the first named
vessel thus getting start OF nVe
hours for the race across.
The first steamer to put in an appear
ance at the Heads on the morning Oh
the 18th was the Mararoa, which enter
cd at o'clock The Sonoma shortly
afterwards was sighted from the South
Head signal station and entered syn
new harbor at S:45 a. m. Deducting the
start the Mararoa had of five hours, the
new mail steamer Sonoma thus gains
victory by hours and Is minutes. The
steaming time of the Mararoa was D
davs. Z hours, and the Sonomas actual
lsteaming time was days, 3 hours ana
40 minutes.
The massage of the Sonoma is the
record for the run across from Auck-
Hand to Sydney, beating that Oh the
In MS. Moana of the Union line, which
made the trip in days, hours. On
1.-THE first day out from Auckland the
liner covered 425 knots and on the sec
ond day she ran Alb knots, the average
sneed being 171s knots per hour. From
Frisco to Auckland her average was
i16 knots per hour.
The sonoma showed her splendid
s+aaming capabilities throughout the
run from the Golden Gate by breaking
all previous records. Her actual steam
ing time from San Francisco to sydney
was 10 days, hours, 80 minutes. The
A. and A. liner also holds the olus
ribbon" for the fastest run from Phlla'
idelphia to San Francisco. Her actua
Isteamfng time over that distance was
Ie7 days. hours. Captain Won Oteren
ldorp was in command and Mr. Little l:
chief engineer and both are proud
the performances of the liner.

The Steamship Sierra.

The Oceanic steamship Sierra was
probably late in leaving San Francisco
on account Of having to wait for the
English mail. She was expected early
yesterday morning and it was thought
that she would bring the next news
of the outside world. Her sister ship,
however, the Sonoma from the Col
onies, brought six days later news. 1t
is very seldom that Honolulu gets fresh
telegraphic budgets via Australia and
New Zealand. The Sierra will proba-
bly, get in some time today.

The Sononia is a handsome craft, well
appointed, well differed, and must be-
come as popular as the good old boats
Mariposa and Alameda, which made
the Pacific run so pleasant to travellers.
Her saloon is all that can be desired,
cabins comfortable and roomy, while
there is an elaborate smoke room and
social hall calculated to satisfy the
most fastidious. In the other classes
every attention has been paid to detail,
and in short the Sonoma may be sum-
med up in the same way as the Sierra
a noble ship. Captain Van Oterendorp.
lately of the Alameda, has charge of
the new ship and with him are associ-
ated the following officers: Chief, Mr..
G. H. Halberdt; second, Mr.. F. A.

The Twilight Renewed.

The schooner Twilight is about ready
to come off the marine railway. 1t has
been discovered that the old vessel is
not in as bad a condition as was at
first supposed. She is not nearly as
worm-eaten as was imagined and she
will be a seaworthy craft when the
few necessary repairs have been COM
pleted.
She will start in the guano trade
with Laysan Island, it is expected, and
her new captain will be former Mate
Ferguson of the w. G. Irwin, who is
expected to arrive from the Coast in
the near future

Schooner Surprise Moved.

1t is reported that the wreck of the
Gasoline schooner Surprise at Koloa,
Kauai, has been moved nearer deep
water by twelve yoke of oxen. Even
if the vessel was pulled into deep wa
ter, however, she would not float, as
she has too great hole in her bottom
and this could not be stopped in any
way. But by getting her into deeper
water the various parts of the vessel
can be removed with greater ease than
would otherwise be possible.

The crowd in attendance during the closing arguments taxed the capacity of the large court room to it's full limit
