The Sheridan Arrives---Shipping
Notes---Capt. thomson
on Vacation.

Bringing plenty of freight and
number of passengers for Honolulu, the
United States Army transport Sheridan
came into port yesterday morning. She
o'clock the night before, but did not
come inside on account of not having
passed partique. The Sheridan, like
the Asia, did not meet any of the storms
which have been doing damage along
the Oriental route, although the weather
was not by any means mild.
The master or navigating officer of
the Sheridan is a new man this trip,
Captain Healey, who few months ago
was on duty on the Logan, being on the
bridge Healey was detached by Col
onel Bellinger in San Francisco some
time ago and was placed on waiting
orders. After a trip to Washington,
Capt. Healey came back and was assign
ed to the Sheridan. Captain Campbell
Babcoek, who helped Colonel Roosevelt
take San Juan Hill, is the quartermaster
captain of the Sheridan. The big troop.
ship has been all shined up and re-
painted since she was last in this port.
The Sheridan had on board large
list of passengers but she carried COM
paratively few troops. All yesterday
people on the streets were inquiring
what warships' were in port on ac'
count of the number of sailors in blue
uniforms, with the names Pensacola"
and Independence on their iaunty
caps, who were on liberty. These men,
140 in all, are from the Goat Island
and Mare Island Navy Yards, and have
been transferred for duty in the Phil.
ippines. They are greatly pleased with
Honolulu, and many of them bewailed
the fact that they were not stationed
at this place istead of at Manila. One
young man, yeoman, whose liberty ex-
tended until this morning, decided that
he would see as much of the town as
possible during yesterday afternoon. He
visited the Aquarium, and then went
out to the Bishop Museum. This he
found closed, but DIR. Brigham talked
with the young man and decided Ito
show him the sights.
The Sheridan was exactly seven
days, eleven hours and ifty-four min
utes from the time She left the Golden
Gate until she tied up at the Oceanic
dock in Honolulu yesterday She
brought 452 tons of freight for this
port, most of which consists of supplies
for the Kahauiki and Leilehua posts.
She brought 81 bags of mail The
Sheridan also brought twentysix cabin
passengers for Honolulu, seven second
class passengers, and twenty eight steer

Sheridan Sails Monday.

On account of the great amount of
local freight which the Sheridan
brought for this port, the big troopship
four clock Monday afternoon. A deal
of her cargo for this port consists of
household furniture, and is therefore
very bulky. A great pile of chairs,
tables, sideboards. cupboards, etc, were
dumped on the dock of the Oceanic
company yesterday afternoon.

Liddy Takes Examinations.

Joseph T. Liddy, formerly local agent
for the Seamen s Union, was one of
fourteen men to take examinations yes,
terday to qualify as a first grade Gus
TOMS Inspector. Liddy's relief as Sea-
mems agent arrived here a short time
ago, and. although the former has ex-
pressed himself at times to the effect
that he intended leaving the Islands,
the fact that he took the examinations
yesterday makes it look as if the we'll
known waterfronter would make his
home here. w. l.. Stroud, already in
the customs service and one of the
men who sailed to the Coast and back
in the yacht Hawaii in the Transpacific
race, took his examinations also for

has also been connected with the service
for several years past, took the exami-
nations yesterday. He has taken them

Among the others who are seeking
higher things in the service were F. G.

Falls of Clyde In.

The Associated oilship Falls of Clyde
arrived here yesterday morning from
Gaviota with a full cargo of crude oil.
She met some rough weather on the
voyage to this port but nothing of in
ierest happened. The ship is at present
locked at the Railroad wharf, where
she will discharge her cargo. She was
flowed into port by the Intrepid.

Lurline Is All Right.

Bringing thirty-three passengers for
this port the Matson Navigation Com
pany's steamship Lurline will arrive
here the first part of next week, Wheth-
er she will get in Monday or not is a
question that will only be solved when
the vessel comes into port, unless she
sends an ethergram stating definitely
her arriving time. She wjrelessed in
yesterday the details of the trouble she
had with her tow. and it now appears
Rhat the whole business came about
through the breaking of a capstan on
the Mohican on which the heavy tow
line chain was fastened. The Lurline
hauled in her end of the chain, but
in some unaecountable manner, the par
ticulars of which are unknown here as
yet. the other end was lost overheard
and, of course, lost.

1t was written, it is true, long, long

Santa Claus! Does not the name spell
a charm for even you? Does it not
bring back delicious memories steep

call to you the wonderfully fearful
yet hopeful midnight watches of years
agone? Those Christmas ewes when
tucked in your little trundle, the light

Civil Pensions.
From the Dayton Herald.

From the Dayton Herald.
Now that all the members of Tafts
cabinet unite with him in urging that
a pension system be adopted for the
civil service, not merely as matter
of justice, but of economy, the subject
should be viewed carefully and with
out prejudice by the public and par
ticularly by congress. Years ago the
preponderant sentiment of the coun-
try began to favor a change by which
the clerical staff would become prac-
tically paramount SO far as politics
was concerned. while, of course, the
heads would go in or out with the
party they represented. This is the
rule in Great Britain and it works
well. 1t is getting to be the rule in
the United States, but the politicians
of all parties are still laboring to de-
ceive the public. This cannot be done
much longer. The staff in every de-
partment will shortly stay for life, or
good behavior. In almost every great
private business this is the rule But
with this thoroughly business-like
transformation there comes the duty
OF the government, a duty recognized
already in other countries and in a
vast number of private corporations
of taking care in a respectable way of
superannuated employees.
