MARINE

The big Pacific Mail steamship ko-
rea, Captain sand6erg, from San
Francisco, arrived yesterday morning
with a large passenger list for this
city and a full through list. On &C
count of the popularity of this vessel,
she ALWAYS brings enough passengers
TO fill her cabins to their limit. Ihere
were a number of tourists among the
eighty-three passengers booked for
this port, but the majority of those
on board were local people who have
been in the States on vacations or on
business trips. There were, besides
the number mentioned, seven through
Messengers who will remain in Homo
lulu till the next steamer for the
Orient.
The Korea carries seven hundred
steeraee passengers for the Orient, or
whom two hundred are Japanese and
the rema inder Chinese. She also has
on board $500 tons of freight, ana
would have taken more had not part
of the room generally used for freight
been occupied by the steerage pas
sengers. Among the large shipments
for the Orient are many bales OF COT
ton. which is in great demand IN tnaI
part of the world at present. In her
strong box the Korea carries bars OF
treasure for the Orient amounting To
the value of $780, 900, which SHOWS tnal
all the money is not flowing 10 the
states. but that some is going the
other way.

VICTORIA, B. c., December =
A San Francisco despatch says the
report from New York that E. II. Har-
