| With one of the largest single car
goes OF general merchandise ever
| brought Honolulu from the Sound.
the Observation-Disclosures steamship Ari-
conan arrived in port at $50 a. m.
yesterday and locked at the HackfeId
| wharf. The vessel will discharge there
| instead of at the Railway wharf as
| the Nebraskan5 which arrived in the
| afternoon, has that berth.
| The Arizonan had a rough voyage
| when about half way the trip. Last
| Wednesday and Thursday were par
ticularly bad days. with big seas and
strong winds, but the Arizonan plow-
| ed her way along without incident.
During the gale the steamer Rosecrans
| towing the barge Monterey was seen
| iaboring and making no Roadway,
They We're in no trouble, but towing
was a difficult task under the trying
circumstances. Both vessels were
then rolling heavily
Inc 1ArlAonan brings about SEQ, 900
feet of lum Der. 5000 barrels of lime, and
a great quantity of beer and feedstuffs
and a general cargo of merchandise.
On or about January / the Arizonan,
with $1,000 tons of sugar, will depart
for Salina Cruz, the Pacific Ocean ter
minus of the Tehuantepec railway. The
voyage will take about sixteen days.
The sugar will be discharged into cars
at the new docks and trans-shipped
across the isthmus by rail and will be
loaded into an American Hawaiian
vessel at Coatzocoalcos, the Atlantic
terminus of the road, and despatched
to New York. The schedule thus open
ed by the Arizonan will be regularly
maintained. 1t will be triangular
course from Salina Cruz to San Fran
cisco and the Sound, thence to the
Hawaiian Islands and back again to
Salina Cruz.
I'm in something of q quandary,"
said Captain Tapley yesterday, ''about
my family. | don't know whether to
have them take up their residence in
San Francisco Honolulu or Salina
Cruz. We will be in San Francisco and
Honolulu only about a week or SO at a
time. but in Salina Cruz we will lay
up each trip for about sixteen days.
OF course, 1 would have more time to
spend with my family if they lived at
Saiina Cruz, but l don't know whether
or not the climate would be agreeab bic.
would prefer to have them live in
Honolulu. Salina Cruz will be the
headquarters OF the American-Hawai-
IAN Company and drydocking, etc, will
be done there in future
The Arizonan can take on about 500
additional tons of sugar by reason of
the new schedule, because the vessel
will carry about 1000 tons less oil fuel
than before. This gives more space
for cargo, of course.
Mr. Nicholson, chief engineer of the |
Arizonan, is now in San Francisco |
overlooking the construction of new
steamers for the All line. Mr.. Park. |
who was formerly chief engineer of |
the Hawaiian, is now aboard the Ari- |
conan in the same capacity.
BROUGHT LIVE STOCK
The American Hawaiian S. S. Ne
braskan arrived from San Francisco
yesterday afternoon and was alongside
the Railway wharf about $50 o. m.
This vessel also experienced a couple
of days bad weather and was delayed
having been obliged to lay
to for eight hours. This was OCCASION
ed by the big deck load of live stock
The vessel brought SO head of live
stock, $50 hogs and 40 dozen chickens.
In addition, a deck load of oranges,
apples, potatoes and other perishabl
stuff was brought in. The NebraSkan |
brings large cargo of general mer-
chandise.
The Nebraskan is now commended
oy Captain Knight, who succeeded |
Captain Weeden. The latter is now

Sa1ina Cruz. Captain knight was re-
cently mentioned in the Coast papers
az the successor of Captain Porter of
the Pacific Mail S. S. Mongolia
