The fitness of a Chinese physician for his pro-
fession is determined according to no special
method He neither has TO study nor pass any
examinations; I'm fact no particular quality is
necessary. Frequently a man who has failed
in business sets up as a physician, to do which
he needs only to hang up his shtngle," as it
were and in truth this is about all the stock in
trade he possesses. with the exception Of the
needle he may at times employ in acupuncture

67O MILES OUT
HONGKONG MARU PASSED ARMY
FLEET TUESDAY AFTERNOON
SWELL ENCOUNTERED.

There was a whacking big westerly
swell nearly all the way down, almost
until we got to the Islands," said Chief
officer A. G.. Stevens of the 7. X. X.
Hongkong Maru this morning.
seldom have I observed such a
swell and, in my opinion, it means
pretty good breeze up north some
where As we neared the islands it
went down considerably, on account of
the northeast trades. Except for the
swell we enjoyed a splendid trip"
The S. S. Hongkong Maru, Captain
Bent, arrived yesterday afternoon
about o'clock from San Francisco
with five days later mail. She brought
but one stop-over passenger for this
port, George c. Shattuck.
Among the through passengers are.
Senator E. Lukens of California and
his father and mother Mr.. and Mrs.
f. G. Lukens. Dr. VIM. S. Porter is
one of the party. Senator Lukens is
recovering from an operation perform
ed by DR.. Porter and is travelling with
his parents and the doctor 70 the ben
eft of his health. Captain John j.
Constabulary, is returning from leave
Of absence. There are 81 through pas
sengers aboard.
On Tuesday afternoon last, at $50
o'clock, the Hongkong Maru sighted
the U. S. A. r. Sheridan, tOwed by the
L. S. A. T. BufOrd and by the u. S. tug
Slocum, in latitude 27:25 north and
longitude 147:50 west, about $40 miles
from Honolulu. Since the Sheridan
left here about o'clock of the after
noon of Friday last she had, up to the
time of her being sighted by the Hong
kong Maru, been going along at a rate
of about seven knots per hour. AS she
carried nothing but ballast and was
high out of the water, the Sheridan, at
the time of being sighted, had all sail
set to steady her. The tug Slocum was
leading the tow and everything appear
ed to be in good order. The Hoigkong
Maru was not near enough to signal.
The Hongkong passed an American
man-of-war and a torpedo boat one
day out of San Francisco. The Ameri-
can Maru, going to San Francisco, was
sighted Wednesday.
The Hongkong takes ten or fifteen
tons of freight from this port for Yo-
kohama and Hongkong She sailed
from the Hackfeld wharf shortly after
10 o'clock this morning.

PASSENGERS AWAKE AND PA
MIC Is ANERTED.

SAN FRANCISCO, November c.
Fire broke out ON board the Oceanic
Company's steamship Sierra at sea last
Thursday and for fifteen minutes
streams of water were playing on the
smoldering flames before they were ex-
tinguished. The fire took place at 6
a. m. and none Of the passengers knew
of it until the vessel reached port. 1t
started in the No. hold, and was
probably caused by spontaneous COM
busuon.
The Sierra arrived here early this
morning. The liner was due yesterday,
but after leaving Honolulu strong head
winds yere encountered. There were
81 first cabin, 60 second cabin and 6j
steerage passengers arriving on the
steamer and she brought 1,O12 tons of
freight. The liner also carried $780,
600 of Australian gold.
Advices came here on the Sierra of
the efforts Of the natives living in the
American province of the Samoan
group, to have Commodore Moore re-
tain his place as governor for another
term. His term has expired and as teh
greatest prosperity and peace were en-
joyed during his rule the natives seek
to have it continued and to that end
have petitioned the Navy Department.
Among the second cabin and steer
age passengers on the Sierra there
were from Australia about forty-two
skilled mechanics, who are coming to
assist in the rebuilding of San Fran
cisco.

HILO'S NEWSPAPERS

+ public press is one of the means
i by which intelligent, public-spirit-

+ work to hasten such growth, and
+ the Herald will always be found on
+ the side of those who are striving
+ to do such work.
J Politically, the Herald will be in

i to praise that which it considers
+ good and condemn that which it
+ considers wrong, wherever they are
+ found. 1t will contain all the
+ news, both local and foreign, up
! to the time of it's publication each
+ week, and will strive from time to
+ time to improve the service. The
+ past few years have seen much
+ progress made in bringing the city
+ in closer touch with the world at
+ large, and thereby making it a bet

i will work to see that such pro-
