MARINE

With full head of steam on ten
of her complement of boilers the L.
s s ST. Louis sailed from off port
last night at quarter to six and it is
believed that she viii go in for a rec
ord trip TO San Francisco.
yesterday morning the ST. Louis left
the Navy dock about seven o'clock to
await the coming of the Asia with
the mail from the Coast.
Secretary Garfield, who was anxious
Tor important letters. decided to hold the
warship and appreciating what the
mail meant TO the business commun-
ity did hold her until every one had a
chance TO reply to letters received.
AT five O'Clock the St Louis launch
was at the Navy dock waiting for Mr..
Garfield, and the customs launch

the disposal of Governor Frear BY

company the Secretary of the Interior
to his ship. On the waterwitch were

Campbell and several others. When
the time came they went alongside
the st. Louis, where they shouted
their farewells TO Mr.. Garfield. The
Waterwiteh started for Waikiki with
the warship but was dropped before
the bell buoy va reached and turn
ed back for port
The st. Louis got a great Roadway
on before she was going ten minutes
and had a big bone in her teeth when
opposite the Castle residence at Wal
kiki
The st. Louis with her distinguish
ed passenger is due in San Francisco
on the morning of July 5th Last week
Captain GIeaves was dubious of be-
ing able to make more than twelve
knots an hour on the return trip and
wanted to leave for the Coast on
Sunday night. Reports of the fine
weather encountered by the Tenyo on
her trip caused him to change his
mind about the time and it is said
the ST Louis viii go for a record
that mail steamers wo6ld be proud
of. In good condition the cruiser
should average as we'll as the Tenyo
between here and San Francisco but
the st. Louis is quite foul and her
speed will be impeded a great deal on
this account. she male a record COM
ing down from Bremerton both by
steaming faster and by wirelessine
further than any other warship max
ing the run from the north On the
trip down with several stops she aver
aged over IA II knots. She will do
as well as this if not better on the
return trip it is thought. She made
a very inspiring sight as she went
past Waikiki last night her beautiful
white hull gliding through the water
with a tremendous wave at her bow
and three of her tunnels belching
clouds of black smoke which trailed
for a mile behind her.
ASIA FLYING LIGHT.
The Pacific Mail steamer Asia, which
arrived from san Francisco yesterday
morning a day ahead OF schedule,
this trip she has ever taken to the
Orient. The reason for this is given
as the duh times at present prevailing
in China and Japan and the rate war
on freight from the Sound.
