steamers Are withdrawn.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
The steamship line recently connect
ing Seattle, Honolulu and San Fran
cisco has been discontinued. or at
least the small steamers. which We're
placed on the route have been with
drawn. The principal promoter of the
line is reported to have been Frank
waterhouse OF Seattle. and the steam
ers John s. Kimball and Charles Mel
son were chartered by him to ply be-
tween the ports named. Each made
one round trip. cut IL was found that
the expenses We're far greater than
the prospective revenue. and now the
Kimball has gone 10 Oakland creek to
lay up. Tne steamer is one OF the best
of the new merchant marine on the
Coast. and has fine passenger accom-
modations. but few if any passengers
We're carried on the trip TO or from
Honolulu Larger carriers and an al
most exclusively freight business are
said TO be the features that will return
a profit for the line connecting the
three ports. rather than coasting stea-
mers of medium size. limited in both
passenger and freight carrying ca
pacity.

a Little Tin Soldier.

The spectacle of a man clothed in a

properly control himself was one IF
the features that attracted attention
yesterday morning as the soldiers
were coming off the transport Sheri-
dan. preparatory TO stretching their
limbs and being put through an hours

plank, this Cupid-with- his clothes-on.

tering way. bullied every man who
gave him the least opportunity. Al
lowance should be made for the sol
diers of the Twenty sixth and Twenty
seventh infantry regiments. Most uf
them are green yet, and willing as
they are 10 obey. likely TO make mis-
takes. II requires no large amount
of common sense 10 understand that
under such circumstances kindness
and firmness will soon straighten out
the kinks. Because man is out on
active service II does rot necessarily
follow that he is a dog. or that he may
be treated as such. Inc clustering Of
ficer will find that kindness is the best
policy In the Philippines
To the credit of both our army and
navy IL may be said that such official
misiits as the one who was the cyno-
sure OF all eyes and the subject of
much adverse comment at the wharf
yesterday morning are few and far be-
tween.
