LINER SIBERIA
IS IN AND OUT

The big Pacific Mail liner Siberia ar
rived off port from the Orient at $3.50
yesterday morning, and after passing
inspection came into the harbor and
locked at the Hackfeld wharf. She
sailed again for San Francisco at a
'clock, and many persons who did not
expect to see her until afternoon, at
least, had to hustle to get their mail
aboard. Nothing of particular inter
est happened on the trip, good weather
being encountered. There were 1864
| tons of freight in the steamers hold,
GOA tons of which came out at this
port.
There was Jolly crowd of passen-
gers on board, including many well
well known people. Fifteen Rus
naval officers fiom tho Port Arthur
fleet, who are returning home on pa
role, were among the interesting people
aboard. Most CT the oHicers of the o.
g. o. liner Gaelic, which has gone out
of the company's service were pas
sengers on the Siberia. They are GO
ing back to San francisco, but fur
Their than that none of them know
what their next move will be. When
the Gaelic went ont on her last trip
the company notified them that they
would be taken care of, but whether
they will 90 out on other vessels or be
given positions on the dock at San
Francisco none of them was able to
say. Among the returning officers are
Purser George i. Chaplin, Surgeon +.
H. Gates, Freight Clerk Alexander Muir
ply, Storekeeper w. Russell Mcclellan,
Chief Steward w. G.. Thompson and a
number Of the, white crew.

Grand Hotel of Yokohama, is on trip
| to the States.
DIR. f. l.. Benton is a surgeon in the
United States Navy on his way home.
w. G. johnson is treasury agent,
who has been on business trip to the
Philippines.
An unusually large crowd saw the
steamer depart for San FRANCISCO at
p. m. The band played and leis were
| to be seen in profusion. Among the
| Honolulu people to depart was Immi-
grafton Inspector +. NJ. Bechtel, who
goes to California resort for his
! health. He is cripple from inhamma-
tory rheumatism.
Many of the tourists who have spent
several weeks or less in Honolulu de-
parted yesterday on the Siberia for
! San Francisco. Every one went aboard
laden with leis and in regretful mood.
They all had had a good time in Homo
lulu and spoke in the best terms of the
hospitality which had made their visit
so charming. What with surfing, swim
ming, dancing, coaching, going to luaus
and hulas, visiting Hilo and the vol
cano, listening to the Hawaiian Gov
ernment Band, ana watching steamers
depart, the visitors have surely enjoyed
| themselves.

Germany, departed after a long stay in
the islands. w. +. Koch, the Denver
