rived yesterday from Tahiti with pas
sengers and the usual cargo Of tropical
products Among the passengers was

chiefs in the South Sea Island society.

men, and all expert exponents OF the
art of dancing as it iourishes under

The Mariposs brings word that vii
liam Doty. United States Consul at Pa
peete, has received orders transferring z
him 10 Teheran. Persia. He viii re-
main at his South Sea post until his
successor relieves him. His brother, J.
Lamb Doty, who was his predecessor at
Papeete, is mentioned as his probable
successor.
Captain Lawiess reports having en-
.countereo no unusual currents. and at Ia
-hiti the Valparaiso disturbance made no
sign that anybody noticed. Tahiti has
enjoyed exceptionally fne weather. but
some OF the crops would be better for a
little more rain. Away from Tahiti
there have been several storms and the
schooner Ens returned 20 port few
days before the Mariposa left on ac-
count Of bad weather. It was feared at
Tahiti that the Tuamotu Islands might
have suffered by the storms.

Sierra Arrives From Australia.
The Oceanic Steamship Company e
ilner Sierra, Captain Houdlette. arrived
yesterday from Australia after an un-
eventful passage, which was marked by
an unbroken spell Of fine weather from
the time the steamship left Sydney,
which was on August 1S. The Sierra S
cargo included 1898 ingots Of tin.
Captain Houdlette denies that he was
driven thirty miles off his course by
unusual currents. The report that
such was the case arose from a mis-
understanding. He did discover an un-
usual current and allowed for IT when
his observation taken the day before he
reached Honolulu showed him what
the phenomenal drift was likely TO do
10 the Sierra What he said in Hon
lulu was that If he had not allowed for
the unusual set he would have been
p he should have made the land. Cap
tain Houdlette thinks that the Man
chur1a viii be saved. as the place where
she now lies is comparatively shell
tered.
