list of through passengers, including
several Englishmen of note and title

Only three passengers left for the
Coast on the Asia, two of whom, NJ. c.
Masterson and Mrs. a. Coors, paid the
fine of 5000, for the privilege of travel
ing from here to San Francisco in, a
foreign vessel. rather than wait over
till the Hilonian or the Alameda.
Masterson has been here looking over
the accounts and office records of the
Federal officials in this Territory. Mrs.
Coors came down on the Siberia. ex-
pecting TO be able to return on the Ala
meaa. but as she was. unable to make
the desired connections, was forced
to take the Asia. She lives in San
Francisco, and has been a guest of the
Moana Hotel while here.
The reason for hurrying the Asia to
San Francisco is the fact that she has
on board 100 bales of raw silk, valued
at over $1,020,0OO Anothe, extremely
valuable shipment on board consists of
twenty-five tons of opium, which is
worth well over 100000. While

consisted of 1000 barrels of cement.

WARD FROM MID
WAY.
Commercial Pacific Cable Company's
steam-auxiliary schooner Flaurence

where she went to deliver stores. She |
brought back as a passenger Mrs. |
Nevin, the wife of Lieutenant of Ma
ines Nevin who will join her here in
| couple of months, it is said. Five |
Chinese laborers also arrived.
When the Flaurence Ward had been |

exported that on her home trip she |
would call at Laysan Island and take |
m cargo of guano and take aboard |
King Max Schlemmer of LaysaA and
lis large family, that they might spend |
