Sugar Delayed Alameda.
Sixteen hundred bags of V K sugar
from Kauai delayed the departure of
the Oceanic liner Alameda yesterday
morning until 10:45. The sugar came
in on the Kinau yesterday morning
and the vessel was taken alongside the
Alameda at once and the transfer be-
gun. It was a long task and the liner
was forty-fve minutes late leaving for
San Francisco.
The departure was witnessed by the
usual big crowd, which listened to the
music of the Hawaiian band and joked
with the passengers. The departure
was enlivened by the actions of a
young Portuguese who made an effort
to 90 up the gangplank on several oc-
casions and was finally removed by the
police.
Past Potentate George Filmer of
Islam Temple, San Francisco, left for
home after strenuous week among
the local Shriners. He was half buried
under leis. as was NJ. J. Lindsay of
the Matson Navigation Company of
San Francisco Col. C. J. Mccarthy,
Of the Senate of Hawaii, made up his
mind at the eleventh hour to leave.
He goes to Byron Hot Springs for
treatment. as does also J. o. Garter,
.Jr., whose health has been preearious
for several weeks. Joe McKinnon,
formerly with the police department.
and later resident of San Francisco,
returned to the Coast, having been IN
Honolulu for several months to await
The outcome of the trial of murderer
WINNIE, who killed McKinnon 5
brother. Mrs. NJ F. Fisher, a trained
nurse of Philadelphia, who came here
on the Alameda, returned to the Coast,
having changed her plans. Col Miles

Good Old Bark Yet.
The British bark Edinburgh, Captain
Mckenzie. arrived Yesterday forenoon.
from Leith, Scotland, with large
cargo of sulphate of ammonia, 10000
bags. and a general merchandise car
90. The vessel was out 40 days from
Leith. but in reality only 137 days on
the trip. The voyage was uneventful,
hardly a sail being seen, and no sign
of wreckage. There was little blow
off the Horn, but it was just the usual
nuff in that vicinity The Edinburgh
crew were elated over the speed of the
trip as compared with that OF the
French ship Rochambeau which arrived
November 10 from Leith.
'.She sailed a fortnight ahead of
ms. . said the Edinburgh's little mate,
seand yet she got in only three days
ahead of us. Say. didn't she sail
around the Cape of Good Hope, TO
make her trip so long?" This last was
with a twinkle of the eye.
The Edinburgh is moored at the
Oceanic wharf. The vessel was built
at Glasgow twenty-four years ago and
is a remarkably we'll preserved vessel.
More Coal for Navy.
Sixty-three days out from Newport
News the British steamship Katuna ar
rived yesterday morning, bringing
1000 tons of coal for the naval station.
The steamship encountered some rough
weather off the Horn and lodged n
few icebergs. A sea boarded her and
flooded some cabins and did things to

thrown about and sustained a disln-
Gated ankle.
