Senator Perkins has received a letter
from Chief Moore, of the Weather Blu
reau, in reply to suggestions made by
William II. knight. of Los Angeles,
and forwarded by Senator Perkins, to
the effect that the Government should
establish n wireless telegraph system

| San Francisco and the Hawaiian Isl
| ands, Australia and the Philippines at
| the point where they cross the thirty
J fourth parallel, about 300 miles from
! shore. for the purpose of telegraphing
the meteorological conditions in ad-
vance of storms.
| Chief Moore says: We are endeav-
ering to perfect our wireless system for
the specific purpose of doing just such
things as Mr.. knight suggests. If our
/ work comes out as it now promises to
| do we win be able to place our lake
| and coastwise commerce at all times In
| communication with stations on the
shore. to call in shipping in advance
of storms, receive reports from outgo-
| ing and incoming steamers and collect
meteorological observations from all
! vessels off the Pacific Coast which, on
given days, are within range of our
| instruments.

spreckeis Calls for Orders.

Early yesterday morning the brig
lSpreckels was sighted and little while
afterwards she dropped her anchor off
the harbor. People on the waterfront
thought it funny that the tug Fearless
did not go out to bring her in. But
the little brig did not want to come
into port. She called mere for orders.
She is on her way to San Francisco
from Guam, whittier she took load OF
supplies not long ago. She communi-
icated with her agents yesterday after
noon and it was decided that the brig
should be sent to Kahului for load
of sugar. She did not enter this port
at all She Will load sugar at kahulu1
and carry it to San Francisco.
! When the Spreckels arrived at
Guam it was only a little while after
the Island had been swept by the ter
irible typhoop that wrecked the YoSe-
Unite. Copra was scattered over an
AREA of several square miles and things
lwere altogether in a state of ruin
little later the brig received orders
from the Coast to call at these Islands
for load of sugar.

Next Mail From San Francisco.

1T was mentioned in a late Coast pa
per that the steamship City of Peru
would take the place of the lost City
lpf Rio de Jaueiro on the run from San
Francisco to Honolulu and the Orient,
commencing February q. That would
bring the Peru in port here on schedule
time tomorrow. But the agents of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company in
this port have received no advices con-
corning the vessel which is to take the
place of the Rio and it is uncertain
whether a mail will arrive from the
Coast tomorrow. The City Of Peru is
on the run from San Francisco to
Panama and way ports and was not
due to arrive at San Francisco from
| Panama until March 3, 50 that unless
she was ordered to shorten her trip
! from Panama by leaving out way ports
she probably did not arrive at San
Francisco until the 3rd instant, which,
supposing that she sailed from San
Francisco for Honolulu on the day af-
ter her arrival there from Panama,
would not bring her here until the 18th.
In the event of the Rios run not be-
| ing taken by another vessel the next
mail from San Francisco will arrive
here on the Oceanic steamship Sierra
lon Tuesday, the 18th instant.

In Search of the elldemeister.

The revenue cutter McCulIoch has set
out from San Francisco IN search of
the dismasted ship Otto Gildemeister,
which has for over three weeks been
within an ordinary days sailing of that
port. The ~McCul.och is in trim condi-
ton. and a cruise of about 500 miles
and return Will be made if the Glide
meister is not encountered closer to
port. Commanders of the revenue cut
ter fleet have standing instructions to
go in search of disabled vessels any
where along the coast when it Is deem
ed advisable, and Captain Coulson be-
lieves that in view of the fact that no
tug has gone after the Gildemeister he
is justified in searching for her. In the
event of the McCulloch finding the
ship and towing her to port the own
| ers of the German vessel will have in
Cured no expense except for the Item
| of coal consumed by the Government
vessel. The McCulloch, which is the
