half past I'VE O'Clock yesterday after
noon. Both vessels made a little bet
ter speed than usual on their trips
down and the japanese boat beat the
Australian liner about 3 half an hour
on the run.
Bath vessels experienced the best
kind Of weather from the time they

reached. On account OF the great

the America Mara she was detained
outside longer than usual as the ex-
animation Of the Asiatic passengers
takes q great deal OF time. The Mari

and vas allowed to enter soon after
arriving OF the harbor
There we're many disappointed be-
cause the America Maru was not given
the mail when she left San Francisco.
The postofice authorities gave Il 10
the Maripoaa and she knowing that
she was expected TO make as fast time
as possible hurried along and arrived
several hours before she was expected.
She left San Francisco much to the
surprise OF the strikers right on time.

have made much better time than she
did. AS soon as she arrived In San

With the America Maru things were
about the same as with the Mariposs
except that the unions had no control
OF her crew. Most OF the crew being
Asiatics. they had no sympathy with
the strikers and so were left alone
On arrival at San Francisco she was
not met az the wharf by anybody and

in the stream. Her passengers and
mails were landed in the tug Milier
