SHIPPING NOTES

U. S. A. transport Dix, Captain
Randall, arrived from Seattle yester-
day afternoon, docking at Naval wharf
No. 1 at $3.50 o'clock She left Seat
tie on August 6. She brings 10 mules
for Honolulu and carries through to
Manila 44S mules and A private horses,
Captain Rosehill of the schooner
Luka expects to sail for Laysan Island
early next week. He is waiting for
the carpenter to finish repairs on the
Luka and is not waiting to hear whe-
Their or not Laysan Island has sunk,
taking no stock in the stories of her
having been wiped off the map.
All. S. S. Nevadan sailed for San
Francisco at noon today with her pas
senger accommodations full. S. 5.
Persia also sailed at noon for San
Francisco, carrying mail. The freigh-
ter took the passengers and the pas
senger boat, being a foreign bottom,
could not take any passengers from
Honolulu.
The docking of the S. S. Persia from
the Orient last evening was somewhat
transferred with by the burning in
fiare-lights by Japanese fishermen in
J the harbor. Superintendent of Public
Works Holloway, securing a couple Of
police officers, made tour of the
wharves and warned these night fisher
men that hereafter they will be arrest
ed when they are found using these
lights in the harbor on nights when a
vessel is entering.
There has been much complaint OF
late on account of the large amount OF
oil afloat on the waters of the harbor
and the matter has been finally put up
to the Superintendent of Public Works.
Steps will be taken to compel more
care in the mater of discharge of oil.
Not only does the oil pollute the
waters for swimmers, but the bottoms
OF all craft are rendered filthy and
there is also danger from fire, should
the floating fuel ever become ignited.
The Occidental G. Oriental S. S. Per-
STA, or the Pacific Mail S. S. Persia,
whichever you like, for it is on the
printed passenger lists as the former
and the latter controls the stock, ar
rived from the Orient yesterday even
