Low to have the Concord or some
other boat call at stated times at the
lonely midpacific island to give him
the news of the world and also fur

stipulations of the lease, he is com
PEELED to plant a certain number OF
cocoanut trees each year He will
take some of the Tanning Island lot
with him to Laysan. In addition 10

feather which commands an unusually
high price, and the birds are Slaughter

New Passenger Steamer.
81 That the American Hawaiian Steam
ship Company will have a new steam
er on the local run, between Honolulu
and San Francisco and that the boat
will have accommodations for at least
seventy five passengers, is almost GER
tain now. This boat will be built to
take the place Of the Chartered steam
er Pleiades, which has been running
here under the American Hawaiian
flag for some months past. She Will
be a fast, serviceable boat, built along
the latest and best lines for the pas
senger. and freight traffic.
The Missourian is the next Ameri-
Hawaiian steamer due here. She
will arrive Saturday. The Columbian
will leave san Francisco for Honolulu
on the 2Sth, and the Pleiades sails
from, Seattle and Tacoma ports on the
following day for this place.

: This morning at 10 o'clock the new
surfboat which has been built by
Walker is to be delivered on board the
United States lighthouse tender Ku-
kui, Captain Jobson, and as soon as
this has been placed on board the ten
der will probably leave for Maui and
9 Molokai ports. Lieutenant Houston,
lighthouse inspector, will make his first
tour of inspection in the boat. Ac-
corGing TO present prospects, he VIII
find things in pretty good shape, as
Commander Moses was very thorough
4 in the work he did as lighthouse in
spector. The Kukui was to have sail
ed Sunday evening, and again last
evening, but her departure was delay
ed on account of the non-arrival of
the new surfboat. This will be very
similar to the ones used by the Inter-
Island company on the steamers, ex-
cept that it viii be considerably light
er, there being no need for craft so
heavy as those used by the merchant
boats.
