ested parties at the sale. McCrosson

NEVADAN TO
ARRIVE LATE
DEPARTURE OF VESSEL FROM
SAN FRANCISCO POSTPONED
ONE WEEK.

The S. S. Nevadan will be delayed a
week sailing from San Francisco for
Honolulu. General Agent Morse re-
ceived a special cablegram this morn
ing stating that the Nevadan would
sail March % instead of March IS. She
will thus arrive here a week later than
her schedule names. The delay of
the Nevadan in sailing will be due to
the rough weather about Kahului that
detained the vessel there. She has not
yet arrived at San Francisco.
There are now 5000 tons of sugar
on hand at the Railway wharf ware
houses for the S. S. Texan. She will
take 1000 tons at this port, 1000 tons
at kahului and 1000 tons more at Hilo
for Delaware Brealtwater. She is
expected in Honolulu next Wednesday
from Seattle and Tacoma.
The S. S. Alaskan is expected soon
in San Francisco from New York. She
Is scheduled to said from Puget Sound
for HonOl .lu April 10. She will take
11,OOO tons of sugar for Delaware
Breakwater.

For the first time in years the s. 5.
Doric did not arrive here the afternoon
before her scheduled time. She did
not make the port until about daylight
this morning from San Francisco. A
DELAY of about seven hours in leaving
san Frencisco caused her to get in
later than ordinarily. The congested
condition of the Pacific Mail Wharf
at San Francisco was the cause of the
delay as the big freighter Algoa had
arrived there from the Orient with an
enormous cargo of freight Pleasant
weather was experienced during the
trip 10 this port, with moderate head
winds and seas. She left San Fran
cisco March 3, so brought two days
later mail.
The vessel has good sized crowd of
passengers, many of them being em-
ployecs Of the Philippine civil service
in various capacities. Twelve tele-
graph operators are going to the Philip
pines. 4 number of tourists are also
going to the Philippines.

States who are to accompany the Jap

ers and Assistant Prosser were also
present
After Pratt had read the advertise
ment Of the franchise, Gehr made his
first protest. 1t was that the descrip-
tion in the advertisement did not agree
with that in the form of franchise sup
piled to him. He did not state in what
particular it differed. The protest was
recorded.
AS soon as Pratt had read the franz
chise and asked for bids, Low offered
the upset price of one per cent. Gehr
at the same time spoke his protest.
Gehr was acting under the advice Of
his counsel, Senator Thurston Of Neb-
raska, who has been looking after the
matter in Washington. He protested
against the sale of the franchise and
the sale Of the water on the ground Of
his alleged rights under a former agree
ment with the government By which he
had accepted the privileges on agreed
terms.
Secretary Atkinson requested that the
protest be put in writing and Gehr
promised to send It. There was no 9TH
er bidder and after several calls, EhG
franchise was knocked down to Low.
He at once entered the land office, ac-
companied by McCrosson, Parker and
others and paid over $1,000 in gold COIN
the first payment required on the spot,
under the terms Of the sale.

REMARKABLE RACE
FINISH HE'D TODAY
BARKENTINES IRMGARD AND S. N. CASTLE SAIL FROM
HONOLULU ON SAME DAY AND ARRIVE PRACTICAL
LY TOGETHER TODAY AT SAN FRANCISCO-NEWS
BY MARINE EXCHANGE REPORT

The race between the barkentine Irm-
gard and S. N. Castle terminated to-
day. The race was, in many respects,
a remarkable sailing contest. Both
vessels left Honolulu the same time and
arrived at San Francisco at practical
~ the same time News of the arrival
of both boats was received today in the
regular cable report to the Marine EX-
change. This race is one of the most
interesting of the many sailing contests
that have occurred between the Ha-
waiian Islands and San Francisco.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-03-12

The two vessels left February 25. The
other vessel. Evidently the weather was
favorable for them for they made very
smart passages, going up in 16 days.
The dispatch does not state which yes
sci arrived first, so the actual result of
the race is still uncertain, but the two
boats sailed nearly even apparently, so
their performance is quite unusual.
Details of the race will be received by
mail.
