IN honor of the anniversary of the late
Queen Victoria S birthday, the Cana
o1dn-Austraiian liner Makura arrived
mere early yesterday afternoon from
the Colonies. She will not continue
her passage to the Northwest until this
evening at five 0 clock, the reason be-
| ing that she has an unusually large
amount of freight to discharge
line officers of the Makura stated
yesterday that they were not running
the BOAT at full speed in order to get
TO victoria IN time to carry an excur-
sion party 10 Seattle for the Fair The
Makura will carry party from British
Colnmbla to Seattle, but she is not
burning extra coal on account of the
fact. II speed had been wanted, state
the officers, the boat could have arrived
here Sunday night.
On board the Makura is the largest
number of passengers ever carried
through here by boat of the Alfred
line. On this account she will only
| take very few people from here,
k though there are many booked. The
/ reason for the unusual travel from the
hCoionles at this time of the year lies
| IN the fact that the Seattle exposition
will open SOON
| The Aorangi is the next boat to leave
the Colonies for Victoria, via Honolulu,
and she is said to be also coming with
full load of passengers for the main
| land. It is possible that the Aorangi
will be replaced by one of the larger
vessels of the line this trip in order
| that all who wish to secure accommo-
| 10 co nj, of
| the Aorangi was to have been her last
one anyway, as the management of the
| company announced some time ago that
a new steamer would be placed on this
| run.
l. The Makura brought $50 tons of
| freight for Honolulu, and on account of
the slow process by which this must be
! unloaded, the vessel will not sail until
FIVE clock this evening.
Siberia Was Delayed
| Some records for discharging cargoes
! were broken down on the Hackfeld
| wharf yesterday when 1850 tons of
| Oriental freight were unloaded from the
| Siberia by a crew of stevedores which
was about 100 men short. The greater
| part of the stevedores, or at least a
| good proportion of them, were sent out
| to the plantations as strikebreakers the
| other day, and consequently the old
| crowd of waterfront workers was pref
| ty well thinned out when the roll was
| called yesterday. The Siberia had
| large cargo for this port, and it was not
until few minutes before seven
| o clock last night that it was all got
| ten out of the hold of the ship.
The Siberia went away from here last
night with every bit of her passenger
| space occupied She brought a large
| number of people from the Orient, and
consequently took only about twenty
| from here.
Dix Sails Today.
| The United States Army transport
| Dix will sail for Seattle today at
about noon. She had not quite finish
| ed last night diseharging the 5000
tons of Nagasaki coal which she
brought here, but the work will all be
| done this morning. Yesterday after
noon the greater part OF the Hawaiian
exhibit for the Alaska YukonP Pacific
| Exposition was loaded on the ship.
| Will Cooper and several others will be
| passengers on the boat, they having
| charge of the exhibit.
China Away on Time.
| Word was received here yesterday
by the local agents that the Pacific
| Mail steamship China had sailed from
| Yokohama on time and would arrive
here on the first day of June. She
| has on board 400 tons of freight for
| Honolulu and twenty-five passengers.
Alameda Sails Tomorrow.
According to the present indications,
| the Oceanic liner Alameda will have a
| bumper passenger list when she sails
| for the Coast tomorrow morning at
ten O'Clock. Over one hundred people
| are now booked for the voyage and
the prospects are that most of them
will go. She will also have full
| load of freight.
