Only five japanese, in the steerage,
departed by the s. S. Sonoma last night
from Honolulu for the San Francisco.
No more tickets to Japanese were sold.
The agents stopped the sale of tickets
to japanese, owing to the new imml-
grafton law. The reason that five de-
parted by the vessel, was because those
tickets mad been SOLD to them, some
time before the law went into opera
tion.
The enforcement of the new law Will
make a great difference in the income
of the various steamships. For the
last five years, every American steam
er going to the mainland has taken
large crowd of japanese, averaging
from $50 to 1000, in some instances.
All of that income viii now be shut
off, The fare was $50 to San Francisco

OIL TURNED TO WATER.
The appearance of the S. S. Enter
prise in the harbor yesterday morning
at time when she was believed to be
far OH her way to San Francisco was
in the nature of a surprise. The city

| was learned that when about 700 miles
| from Hilo the engine fires went out.
| An investigation showed poor quail
| ity of oil. A fresh tank was tapped
| with results but little better than the
previous. A second investigation show
| ed the existence of water in large
quantities mixed with the oil. sur
vey showed sufficient fuel to last until
| the steamer would reach point about
| $50 miles from San Francisco, bad
| place for steamer carrying small
amount of canvas to find herself with
out a steam-promotor.
