Captain Willer, OF the bark S. G.
Allen, which is dlscharging lumber
alongside the Oceanic wharf, is not
certain where he will go from this
port. He may be given a charter to
carry sugar from this city to San Fran
cisco, or may return to Eureak in bal
last and bring down another load of
lumber for this city. His vessel is al
ways in Honolulu, where the com
mander is liked by all who are num-
bered among his acquaiRtances.

SAN FRANCISCO KICKS.

A correspondent writes from Homo
lulu that the authorities Of that place
are in the habit of shipping their GRIM
inals to the mainland to get rid of them
He supports his allegation with a clip
ping from the Commercial Advertiser
of Honolulu, in which the statement is
made that negro named Harris charg-
ed with shooting a man named Parker
OF one Of the islands of the group, was
given a chance to escape prosecution if
he would go to San Francisco. So an
xicus were they to unload Harris upon
this suffering community a spirited
citizen offered to pay his fare on the
steamer if he could not get a job to
work his passage. San Francisco is
making laudable efforts to increase her
population, but will not take kindly to
the swelling of the census marshal's
list by additions of the kind mentioned.

The next steamer of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha line which leaves for South
America and on which the leaders OF
the Japanese strikers claim that they
will send away laborers If the labor
trouble has not been settled, is the
HongRong Maru, which is due here on
or about June %. The fairy tales to
the effect that large number of Jap
anese will leave at this time are in
teresting when the amount of money
needed for this is considered.

bringing nothing but redwood ties

The scene at the sailing of the Chi

pretty one. The Pacific Mail steamer
took away number of local people
and tourists which meant that large
crowd was at the Channel wharf to see
