FRANCISCO RUN.

After an absence of over two years

w w. Greene, her former commander
in his old berth, the S. S. Nippon Maru
of the Togo Kisen Kaisha arrivtd off
the port last night about 1890 o'clock
from the Orient. The vessel has quite
a history in naval service since she was
last in Honolulu and when the vessel
entered the harbor this morning there
was quite a crowd at the wharf to see
her.
THE vessel left Yokohama for Homo
lulu January %. She encountered very
heavy weather. The northwest swell
that runs across the Pacific at this
time of the year seemed to be in
greater volume than usual and togeth-

most disagreeable in the history of the
vessel. The boat made the usual Chi
nese and Japanese ports on her out
ward trip. She brought 534 tons of
freight for this port and has about g.
900 tons for San Francisco. She
brought 172 Japanese in the steerage
for Honolulu and one cabin passenger,

chant who has been in the Orient on
business.
