STEAMSH.

Oceanic steamships Sierra, Sonoma
and Ventura will again take in Homo
lulu and resume the Australian run in
January of next year. This informa-
ton is given by one interested who
arrived from the mainland in the Ala
media yesterday morning and who Is
here for business in connection with
the resumption of the service.
There was recently an Associated
Press cablegram received to the effect
that Hartman, the Pacific Mail and
Southern Pacific magnate, would pur-
chase the three vessels named, which
have been laid up at San Francisco
for long time, and that they would
be put on the Panama run.
The facts as related by the agent
now in the city are to the effect that
while it is possible that the Pacific
Mail may purchase the boats, provid-
ing the price asked is paid, the Ocean
ic Steamship Company at present in
tends resuming the Australian SER
vice in January and that it has been
-ascertained that conditions are such
that the line will be made to pay.
What the schedule will be has not yet
been arranged.

HATES TO LEAVE

Tommy Lane, we'll known as a ban
tam in sporting circles, is still in Ho-
nolulu in spite OF the fact that he
has received numerous offers from the
mainland states and Mexico. from the
former for exhibition purposes and
from the latter for mining reasons, he
having friends well fixed in the matter
of mines. Tommy likes Honolulu so
well, however, that he hates to leave.
His friends say there is a lady in the
case, but that's another story. Just
now he is taking a rest preparatory
to accepting position he has not yet
located.

ADDING
TO CONTINUE PRESENT RUNS
AND START A NEW CoNNEC-
TION

The American Hawaiian Steamship
Company is again branching out and,
far from thinking of reducing its Paci-
fics service, will add to it.
One week from Monday this COM
pany will start regular line between
Portland and New York. Cargo Will
be received at Portland every twenty
one days. On the way to Portland the
steamers will make but one stop, at
San Diego, after leaving Salina Cruz.
After discharging at Portland the
vessels will take on part cargo and
proceed to Seattle, returning thence
to Salina Cruz.
Present runs between the Hawaiian
Islands and Seattle. San Francisco and
Salina Cruz will be continued.

various local candidates. Link pro-
misses a hot and in every way lively
campaign, and, though pretty general

can't beat Kuhio, he doesn't look at ii
that way, and expresses the most en-
thusiastic confidence. He will make

Especial to The Starr

HILO, Sept 12.-Actual construction
work on the breakwater commenced
today Some little time however, will
elapse before the work is in full swing,

The last rail of the extension will
shortly be laid, and work will then be
continued without intermission, till
the last ton of rock is deposited in the
ocean bed, and Hilo possesses a pro-
tected harbor of the first class.
