BROUGHT LARGE
CARGO OF FREIGHT
KOREA ARRIVES THIS MORNING
FROM ORIENT-HAS MANY PRO
MINENT PASSENGERS ABOARD.

The S. S. Korea arrived off the port
at an early hour this morning from
the Orient in the fair time of days
and Is hours. Chief Engineer Paul
Rossiter could have easily sent her
across in better time and shown that
sired to make any quick run from Yo-
kohama to this port. Yokohama was
left March 10. Good weather was eX-
perienced during the trip. Nothing of
especial interest occurred during the
run.
The Korea is loaded down with
freight for this port and San Francisco.
Coming out of Yokohama she was
drawing 81 feet. she has in the neigh
borhood of $500 tons of freight for San
Francisco and will leave about LOO
tons of freight at Honolulu. She is
full with passengers.
Her passenger list shows the names
of some very distinguished people. The
most prominent of course is II. e. Sir
Chentung Liang Cheng the new Chi
nese Minister at Washington, who is
accompanied by an extensive suite.
Captain Sanders the pilot taught
Captain Seabury the commander of the
Korea, a lesson this morning in the art
of docking a big steamship. Captain
Sanders brought the Korea into the
harbor and took her into the slip at
the new Bishop wharves. The pilot
was able to maneuvre the vessel with
out the aid of the tug and ran her into
the slip as neatly as ever a vessel was
docked in any harbor. Seabury was
on the bridge watching the fine piece
of seamanship on the part of the local
pilot. The crowd on the wharves ap-
plauded the fine work of Sanders.
Among the passengers for Honolulu
was Mkt Saito the Japanese Consul
General at this place. Consul Saito
has been absent from Honolulu some
months.

daughters Mrs. A. Gartley and Miss

.SIDETRACKEO
LOCAL DIPLOMATS
HOW PEREMPTORY. ORDER OF
CAPTAIN sEABURY CAUSED EN-
BARRASSMENT TO CHINESE.

There was a very pathetic incident at
the S. S. Korea this morning. When
the big vessel came slowly into the
Bishop slip, Acting Consul Goo Kim
the local representative of China was
on the wharf waiting to pay his res
poets to II. e. Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng the new Chinese Minister to
Washington. With the Minister was
suite of sixty eight among them be-
ing the new Chinese Consul for this
place.
Special courtesies had been extended
to the Acting Consul by Collector
Stackable for the Treasury Depart
ment. Goo Kim, Mrs. Goo Kim, Miss
Goo Kim and members of the local
Chinese consulate were present to re-
ceive the distinguished party on the
vessel. 1t had been expected that the
Acting Consul and party from Homo
lulu would be among the first to be
permitted to board the vessel In fact
the crowd on the wharf instinctlvely
realizing this courtesy that was due
the Acting Consul and party, had made
place for them at the foot of the
gang way. But what was to be prob
ably one of the last official ceremonial
acts of the Acting Consul was peremp-
torily denied.
Let nobody but the customs and
immigration officers aboard the ves-
sell was the command as the gangway
was made fast to the ship. 1t was
Captain Seabury who gave the order.
There was no reason apparent why
such an order should have been given.
In the presence of the diplomatic party
on the wharf below seemed ample rea-
son for permitting persons other than
the officials named being allowed
aboard. In fact the Chinese Minister
and party on board were evidently
waiting to receive the party from "a
shore. Minister rChentung Liang
Cheng could not but have felt until
the matter was explained to him. that
the Honolulu consulate was lacking in
common diplomatic civility for fully
half an hour elapsed before Goo Kim
and party were permitted aboard.
1t is doubtful If during a career of
30 years in Honolulu most of which
time was passed as the representative
of his country, Consul Goo Kim ever
had such an experience before.

follows:
During the last week the principal

cerning trade conditions. While it is
a fact that there has been a decrease
in volume of business during the last

substantial tonnage is beng booked

opinion seems to be that the outlook is
quite promising and improving. 1t was
the unanimous opinion that the price

somewhat out of parity. Therefore,
the price of the former has been re-
duced to $1,000 per ton. Pittsburg, and
