The Miowera brought ten passengers
for this CITY from Vancouver, but
could not take any away. though there
were many applications. The Amerl-
can passenger certificate of the vessel
has been allowed 10 lapse, and, as the
result, until she has been inspected in
an American port she will be unable
to take passengers from this city,
either to the Colonies or to Vancouver.

city for some little time, and who
bought their tickets in san Francisco,
have been left in the lurch as the re-
suit, and must wait here for full

The Miowera brought down about
twenty tons of freight for this city,
the largest shipment being whisky. She
took away about six tons, including a
number of barrels of Primo beer, which
are being shipped to the Fiji Islands
for consumption in that colony. The
Miowera sailed for the Colonies this
morning at two O'Clock, having stayed
in port only long enough to take on
board the freight and replenish her
water supply. q
