SEALED BALLOTS FOR
SAILORS UNION AGENT

Boxes containing the ballots of the
union sailors of the barkentine W. B.
Flint, ship Marion Chileott and the
schooner s. c. Allen are in the posses
sion of Joseph T. Liddy, local agent of
the Sailor 5 Union. They were ca at
the last two meetings OF the local
branch, seventy-seven ballots all told,
and after the balloting next Monday
of other union sailors IN port, the en-
tire bundle of ballots viii be forwarded
to the San Francisco headquarters and
will form a portion of all the ballots
east there in the selection of a new
agent for the Honolulu branch of the
Sailor 5 Union.
Joseph T. Liddy, the present local
agent, retires at the end of the year,
and does not seek reappointment. In
fact he says that the JOB is too strenu
Gus for him-at least in Honolulu, and
he wouldn t retain Office at $500 a
week. The San Francisco headquarters
of this powerful union will manage the
election of the new agent. Five can
didates are listed, including Mr.. Liddy,
IN spite of himself. The five are b.
l.. Hamilton, formerly with the s. c.
Allen as second mate; Mr.. SOrenson,
Mr.. Mccarthy, Mr.. Steinberg, who ran
a restaurant at one time in Honolulu,
and the incumbent.
In the opinion of the present agent,
Mr.. SOrenson would be acceptable. He
is a member of the Masonic order.
mo, SIR said Liddy yesterday af-
ternoon at the office of the U. 5. Ship
ping Commissioner, "none for me. My
methods do not appear to be appre-
eiated, but and my methods will bear
the strictest investigation, for always
like to live within the pale of the Uni
ted States shipping laws and all other
laws besides. If do not get Fed
eral appointment in January, why, to
nse a Biblical quotation, it will then
be with me, Arise, Joseph, take up thy
bed and walk-or sail. -
Ethel zane's Pilikias.
The piIikia aboard the American
schooner Ethel Zane continued yester-
day and there were conferences in
which Shipping Commissioner Amy,
Harold Dillingham; and others partiei
pated. Captain Peterson is ont of a
Job, and will probably return to the
less conspicuous duties of second mate
aboard the w. B. Flint.
1t is understood that Captain Rose
hill has been given command, and with
that well known navigator in charge,
the Ethel Zane viii once more become
a well disciplined, ineonspicuOus lumber
carrier. On account of the determine
ton of the newly selected crew not to
sail under Captain Peterson, the ship
was certainly undermined and there
was no one left aboard to wind the
chronometer but the cook, and he per-
formed this duty as well as he turned
out meals.
Lurline Has Full List.
A wireless message from the steam
ship Lurline was received by the agents
yesterday morning, announcing that she
was bringing forty passengers. This
is pretty nearly as many passengers as
the Lurline can comfortably carry. In
addition she is bringing a very large
cargo of general merchandise. The Lur-
line will arrive here this morning.
Buford will be Full.
When the United States Army trans
port Buford leaves this port for Ma
Mia on December ) she will carry
full list of passengers, as well as
large number of recruits and easuals.
The Buford also will have a full cargo
of commissary and quartermaster sup
plies.-Call, Nov. 80.
