sla. and the names of those who are cast
for the various parts involve vocabulary
that easily distinguishes the czar's domln-
ion. Tho adaptation Of these to a more
common vernacular, as that shown In the
titles OF Prince Walanof and Ivanor, is
one Of the unique features that stamps the
play with comedy. In addition to n por-
trayal ot the powerful love Of woman, the
story seeks to disclose the spirit Of nihilism
that exists among Russian SUBJECTS; the
false pride that infests the titled aristoc-
rncy and the vivaclty which characterizes
the American girl and almost renders her
unSophisticnted In the circles that sur
round Il foreign court. There Is great

THE FIRST or
The OVERDUES

The first of the overdue steamers
TO arrive on Saturday was the China,
from San Francisco. She appeared off
port about 2 a. m, but did not dock
until five hours later.
Captain Friele said that the weather
experienced during the trip was the
most disagreeable in years as far as
he was concerned. The vessel was
about one day overdue.
The China left San Francisco at /
p. m. on the 9TH, and running into a
thick fog off the Heads, was compelled
TO put back and anchor at Meigs'
wharf for nearly two hours.
At p. m, the weather clearing. she
started again, and as soon as she got
outside the Gate, ran into a heavy sea
and a rain storm which continued until
daylight the next morning The
weather stayed bad all the way to the
Islands, and rain fell throughout the
trip.
The westerly and southerly swell
which marked the commencement of
their voyage, increased as the vessel
neared this port.
On the morning of the 18th a steamer
going south was passed. No actual
storm was met, but the vessel was
by having to buck into head
seas all the way. This occasioned the
of a great deal of coal,
and she took on 600 tons here.
The China brought a small list of
for this port and 200 bags
of mail. She sailed for the Orient at
$40 a. m. yesterday

The steamer Maui, which is at present

on Saturday morning. She had to put

striking a sunken reef in Kipahulu har-
Dor, where the vessel put into for the
purpose of landing the mails
The weather was so rough that no
landing could be effected, and the boat
which had been dispatched to make the
attempt was forced to return to the
steamer. Meanwhile. the weather grew
worse, and Captain Bennett decided to
set out Of the harbor as quickly as pos
s-ble.
