Senator Puts Back With Cargo.

The old bark Senator, Captain Harri-
son, is back in Royal Roads with the
same cargo of lumber on board that she
sailed from the British side with on
April %, bound for Liverpool. says the
Tacoma Ledger, August 90 Her case is
the first on record where a vessel has
been forced to put back after making
such distance. The Senator has had
troubles without number Several of
her crew deserted her at Chema:nus
when she ready for sea in April,
but were finally put aboard. After a
storm tossed voyage of three months the
Senator reached Hilo in a water-logged
condition with crew nearly exhausted
by long tricks at the pump. Her owner,
S. W. Shoup, came out from Liverpool
and superintended repairs to the Senator
at Hilo on the beach. Two starts Were
finally made for Liverpool from Hilo and
on both occasions the Senator had to
put back.
On her third start from Hilo for Liver
pool the Senator was three G2ys out
when she began to leak again and the
crew had to man her pumps. A fair
wind coming up Captain Harrison put
about and headed for Cape Flattery. The
wind changed and the captains mind
changed, and he put about again and
OllSt lOI the lOuTtu was
headed for Liverpool. Once more. how
ever, the wind changed, forcing the Sena-
tor to put back, and she finally reached
the Straits thirty-four days out from
Hilo and was picked up by the tug
Lorne. Many of the sailors deserted at
Hilo, and their places We're taken by
Japs, but three of the original crew tax

vessel. The Senator will be hauled out
on the ways and survey made and upon
its findings depend her future In any
event the greater part of her cargo will
have to be discharged. On her voyage
from Hilo the Senator sighted only one
vessel, the Hayden Brown, which took a.
cargo of lumber from Tacoma to Homo
lulu, and which, when sighted, was en-
route from the islands to Eureka. Cali

Appraisers Value the
Island Steamers at
$55O,OO0.
First Step Made Toward a Con-
solidation' of Wilder and Inter.
Island Companies.

T>IvE hundred and fifty thousand
II dollars is the valuation placed up
on the steamers of the Wilder's
Steamship Company and the Inter-Isl-
and Steam Navigation Company by the
three appraisers appointed a short time
since to set a value on the moving
stock. This valuation is arrived at
with a view to placing the figures be-
fore the stockholders relative to the
proposition to consolidate the two com
panies under one management. The
Wilders Steamship Company is capital
lied for 5000 600 and the Inter-Island
company for $500 900. The valuation ar
rived at includes only the steamers of
the two companies, divided as follows
Wilder company-Steamers Kinau
Claudine, Helene, Maui, Lehua, Kaiu-
Iani, Hawaii and Mokolii; total, eight
vessels
Inter-Island company-Mauna Loa,
w. G. Hall, Hanalei, Mikahala, Niihau,
James Makee, Ke Au Hou, Iwalani,
Kauai, Waialeale Noeau; total, eleven
steamers Also the schooner Fanny
Adele.
-Four of the Wilder steamers are steel,
the rest wooden all of the Inter-Island
fleet are wooden vessels. In view of
this fact, although the Inter-Is1and
company has more vessels than the
Wilder company, the valuation on the
Wilder fleet is 81 900 more than that of
the Inter-Island.
In the combination of the runs of the
various vessels, the Wilder company
has a monopoly on the Molokai bust
ness, and generally Is conceded to have
that of Maui as we'll as the Hamakua-
Hilo run. The Inter-Island company
has much of the business of the leeward
side of the Island of Hawaii and has
a monopoly of the Kauai Niihau bust
ness.
The consolidation Is proposed in order
that the expenses of maintaining two
arrangements may be eliminated and
cut down by having but one manage
ment for the two companies. Both
companies claim they are not making
any money. The presidents of the two
companies held conferences several
weeks since and the appointment of APP
praisers followed The matter will be
laid before the directors in joint ses-
sion before any action will be taken
toward consolidation.

The Lnfayette-"The Amnzons.u

The Amazons," Pinero's famous come
dy, is the announcement for this week at
the Lafayette Square Theatre. Pinero is
one of Englands foremost playwrights of
the day. and The Amazons' is one of his
most happy inspirations. II is a refined,
wholesome, high-class comedy, with n
very unique plot. and is replete with the
funniest of situations.
The story treats of the eccentricities Of
a mother who has three daughters and
wishes they were sons. She therefore,
dresses her girls as boys and trains and
educates them in all the manly arts. Their
vain efforts to be boys while at least.
they are most womanly and winsome lass

the boundaries Of their vast country place
she forces the boys" to hunt fish ride,
swim, and train in a gymnasium. prohib-
iting all girlish pastimes. On a visit TO
London. the daughters. in proper attire,
meet three young men who lose their
hearts, and and forthwith follow the girls
to their country home. Eluding the
watchful eyes Of the guards surrounding
the domain the lovers gain admittance to
the grounds and Unexpectedly meet the
three 'boys'' in their hunting costumes.
A most unique scene is then enacted be-
fore recognition takes place, and a meet
ing Is arranged, which takes place in the
gymnasium. which the men enter by way
Of the roof. There the mother suddenly
and Unexpectedly appears ana breaks up
a scene which is the essence of refined

The Academ,-"A Texas steer.u

Charles Hoyts best play will be pre-
scented at the Academy next week. 1t is
entitled "A Texas Steer" and is a most
laughable satire on present day politics.
The story opens in Texas with the cleo
ton of Maverick Brander, the cattle king
TO Congress. Brander is a modest man,
and does not seek office. The election
takes place during his absence from home,
and is brought about by the ambition of
his family for social distinction and de-
sire TO get out of the dreariness of life
on a cattle ranch. and in n frontier town,
to the gayer and more fashionable cir
cles found at the National Capital.
The first information that Brander
has of his election that has been brought
about by the instrumentality of three To-
cal politicians, Messrs. Yell Rrag. and
Blow. is when he is 'yanked' off his
wagon on his peaceful way home. crown
ed with laurel as was Cincinnatus, and
brought in on the shoulders of four men,
followed by the riff-raff of the frontier
town. There is some difficulty in getting
him to serve. but this is overcome when
the crowd points guns at his head, and de-
clares tina: If he is perhaps too good TO
represent them in Congress. ne is perhaps
too good to live.
The BrGnder family. is next seen in n
reception room at a Washington hotel
and the scene teens with amusing incl
dents, consequent upon the newness OF the
family to the Capital and its ways..-.Be-
tween the first and second acts sufficient
time is supposed to have elapsed for the
Brander family to get acquainted with
the city. and social friction has smoothed
the general appearance, manners. and
habits of the family. The cattle king now
wears his dress suit with the ease of
smokes Perfectos. and
bankers after frozen absinthe. The com
edy from this point on is a delightful bit
of satire.
The regular Tuesday Thursday. and
Saturday matinees will be given.
