MARINE:

The Pacific Mail S. S. Persia, Captain
Dixon, from the Orient, was whistled
at $40 yesterday afternoon and dock
ed at Hackfeld wharf No. at 7:95
o'clock. She sails for San Francisco
at noon today. The Persia brought 4so
tons, of freight for this port, four
cabin passengers and a couple of hun
dred japanese immigrants. Honolulu
w. Penoyer. A B. Giles and Mrs. K.
Ishikawa. There are but twenty-one
through passengers. On account of the
quarantine regulations no one from
shore was allowed aboard.
The docking Of the Persia was rem
dered difncult by the lights burned in
the harbor and channel by Japanese
fishermen. These night fishers have
many times been warned that their
lights interfeTed with shipping enter
ing the harbor and docking when they
were burned near the channel or in
the harbor. Yesterday evening Super
intendent of Public Works Holloway
himself took a hand in the matter. He
| called on the police for officers and
Chief of Detectives Taylor detailed Of
fcers Reeves and Townsend to go with
| the superintendent. A tour of the
wharves was made and where Japanese
We're found using the great fiarelights
| to attract fish they were told that this
was the last warning that would be
given them. Hereafter they will be
arrested. In a couple of cases torches
were found on the waters edge without
anybody tending them, and they were
cut loose and dumped into the harbor.
/ A bright light of such nature is con-
| fusing to the pilot on the bridge of
vessel docking at night. On the occa-
sion when the Alameda locked at
night some months ago a tourist in an
auto known as the Thomas Filler took
his machine to the foot of Fort street
and played his searchIight directly on
the bridge of the steamship as she was
i nearing her wharf. Captain Dowdell
was naturally much incensed. Fortu-
natelv Chief of Detectives Taylor no
ticed the smart trick of the tourist
and ordered him to shut off. This is
but an example of what pilots have
/ sometimes to contend with.
! Among the through passengers
| aboard the Persia are Mrs. James L.
Franklin, Miss Park and Miss Ktesel'
from salt Lake, who have been tour
ing the Orient and are now on their
wav home. Miss KieseI is the daughter
of the well-known mining operator
| Mrs. Franklin is the daughter of I. u

s. Persia both sail for San Francisco

The Nevadan will carry dozen pas
sengers. The coincidence is odd in the
case of these two vessels for the freigh-
ter carries the passengers from here
while the passenger boat, being for
eign bottom. cannot take passenger
from Honolulu to the United States
mainland. The foreign bottom, how
ever. carries the mail for she is the
faster by long odds and Uncle Sam
is in hurry in the matter of his
mails.
