germ might have lived throughout the
trip from salina Cruz. The Californian
took about ten days to reach san Diego,
stopped there for twenty'four hours
went on TO San Francisco where she
remained for about q week anu then
spent the same length of time in Puget
Sound. not reaching this port for over
a month after she had left Salina CRUZ
In spite of the lapse of this period OF
time il is feared that some infected
mosquito might have hidden himself
away and might introduce the germs
of Yellow Jack in this city, so the
big freighter will be fumigated ana
then kept out outside the harbor Tor
five days to be sure that no Infection
may take place.
The local merchants do not appre-
,iate the situation, though they realize
that the matter is being handled IN
: the only way possible. There are GER
tain articles on board the Californian
which are badly needed here, the most
important of these being lime. of which
the freighter brings about 5000 bar
rels. This is very badly needed ON the
other islands and there is none in this
city to supply the demand.
The Californian also brought down
large quantity of -four and feed stufs
from the Sound as well as large
amount of New York freight which
she brought from Salina Cruz She
will load with sugar as soon as she is
discharged and start back for Sallna
Cruz.
The Quarantine officials say that II
the Californian had been fumigated IN
San Francisco there would have been
no delay in entering this port but that
since this was not done, there is no
other course to be pursued under the
law than that which has been followed.
Tn the future the American Hawaiian
boats will probably all be disinfected
before coming to Honolulu.

of purchasing such material in Homo

dan said to a representative of Trans

'Our well known pulp woods are
being used up faster than they are

This meeting was probably the most

HILO REACHED ON MONDAY.
Kailua was left after dark and the
run to Laupahoehoe made in good
time, that landing being made by day
break. Here the majority of the party
landed, but, unfortunately, enough We
hicles had not reached the place to
convey the whole party overland to
Hilo, as had been arranged. The result
was that most of the party reboarded
the Claudine and steamed to the city,
which was reached shortly before noon.
A welcoming committee boarded the
steamer as soon as she arrived, and the
various vessels in the harbor greeted the
arrival of the party by dressing ship.
The party were driven in hacks to the
various resting places, the citizens
throwing open their homes to the vari-
GUS members of the visiting party.
VOYAGE MADE PLEASANT.
Throughout the several trips made on
the Claudine the members of the party
were given the very best of treatment
by Captain Parker and the members
of his crew. From the captain down
to the least of the stewards no oppor-
tunity was lost to make everyone on
board as comfortable as possible, and
the cheers given for the captain and
the song sung in his honor by the men,
bers of the party at Kailua were sim
oere and expressive of the appreciation
felt. 1t is at the request of more than
half dozen of the party that this pub
lie expression of the appreciation Of
the party to Captain Parker and his
men is given.
