Phelps Not Chartered.

The big ship Erskine NJ. Phelps may
lay up in Honolulu for three or four
months. The charter business is now
so poor that the Sewall company is I'M
able at present freight rates to get a
paying cargo for the vessel and accord
ing TO advices received by the last mail
the vessel must stay here for some time
20 come. Yet the Phelps can afford to
lay up for the rest of the year and still
make money for her owners. For ear
rying her big cargo of coal around from
Norfolk she gets a freight of about
Sio. 000 and it is estimated that $4,000
of this amount is clear profit.

TREASURE CRAFT
STILL TIED UP
Evident That Gold Hunters Are
Here for an Indefinite
Stay.

There was much comment on the
waterfront yesterday over the situation
with reference to the doubIy Hbeled
schooner Herman-the trim little craft
that is supposed to have noblemen.
multi-millionaires, mining machinery
and other things aboard which lead the
curious to scent mystery. According
to reports that have been given out
right along the master of the Herman
knows where to and is leading the
party to a place where gold can pc
picked up by the shovelfull and where
the five men can each become million
aires and get back to the Coast in
years time. But matters as they stand
today show that the skipper of the
treasure hunter does not seem to care
to put up enough treasure" to clear
the craft from the two libels which he
admits are for bills justly due from
him.
Instead of clearing the ship of the
Iibels Captain Brown is permitting it
to lie under restraint when each day
his bills become larger as the costs of
a representative of the United States
MarshaPs office on board is no trifiing
sum.
| The party on the schooner sits around
in the same number of steamer chairs
each day, they smoke the same number
of cigars, and lead the same life OF
pleasure that we are told in history
that the gentleman adventurer" OF
many years ago did. This does not in
fer that the gentlemen aboard the Her
man are adventures for we are told
that there is no adventure in the trip
| simply a business matter of going out
and bringing in a cargo of pure gold
/ Yesterday it was stated at the
schooner that the party did not intend
sailing for several weeks. A steam
launch that has been stored on the yes
sells deck was launched yesterday ant
her fittings will be put in today so tina
her owners may take pleasure trips
about Honolulu harbor. A Waterfront
man said yesterday: LAS the Wildel
Company's libel covers the schoone
and all her appurtenances 1 don't SCI
how they can allow that steam launcl
to be taken off the ship and driver
around the harbor unless a Deput.
p Marshal goes around in it,
Two mails have got in from tn
Coast since the arrival of the Herman
, at this port and if the party aboar'
tof the vessel expected any advices o
cheques, as one of the party informe'
/ an Advertiser reporter that they die
they are slow in arriving.

Captain Eurford Expects aood Job

Captain NJ. B. Burford, we'll known in
Honolulu as commander of the United
States Army transport Thomas. is now
on a leave of absence from his vessel,
and it is said is in Washington looking
for the appointment of marine superin-
tendent of the transport service at San
Francisco. 1t is said that he has had
his eye on the billet for some time, and
that his past record combined with
strong influence at Washington will
secure the position for him. Unlike any
of the other officers of the transport
service, Captain Buford is former
naval officer. He is an Annapolis grad
uate, and resigned from the navy over
20 years ago to go into civil life. At the
outbreak of the Spanish war he volun-
teered, and was one of the two volun-
teer officers given the high rank of
Lieutenant Commander. He command
Ell the collier Abarenda during the war,
and was honorably discharged when
the war was over. He was shortly aft
erwards appointed a captain in the ar
my transport service. His vessel, the
Thomas, has been steadily in commits
sion for long time, and has a good
record for constant and efficient serv-
