bringing large number of passen-

heaviest cargo shipments that she has
carried for some time, the Pacific Mail
liner Korea is due to arrive here from

will have the latest mail from the
mainland. The Korea will call ar Ma
Mia this trip, and will take to the Phil
ippines about 1000 tons of army and
navy sores. In addition to this gov
large cargo of general merchandise
The last files from the mainland stat
ed that the Korea would carry full
complement of passengers, large num-
Der of whom would remain in Hawaii
for while. Reports that were brought
here by the last boats from the Coast
indicate that all the Pacific Mail boats

two months will also have full lists of
passengers.
Hiram Bingham Arrives.
Word was brought here by the Ma
ram Bingham had arrived in the Gil
bert Islands after an exceptionally
smart passage from here. The little
craft, with heavy load of Bibles, left
here over six months ago for the Gil
bert Islands. Captain Walkup demon
strated that he knew as much about
navigation as he does about preaching
the Gospel to the heather when he
cd no - Il
in thirteen and one-half DAYS. News
was also brought here by the Makura
that Captain Walkup's wife and
daughter, who accompanied him on the
voyage, would return to the Islands in
the near future They will come here
by way of China The news of the fast
passage of the little schooner was graft
flying to many in this city. The Hiram
Bingham was the object of great in
terest to townfolk as well as those along
the waterfront when she was here some
months ago. The story of her mission
and her unique cargo was printed in all
the leading newspapers in the United
States.
Mauna Kea Sails.
When the Inter-Island flagship Mauna
kea sailed for Maui and Hilo yester-
day at noon, there was the usual large
crowd down on the wharf to see her 90.
This boat is superior to the ordinary
class of craft used on local short run,
and the fact is made the subject of
favorable comment by tourists. The
Mauna Kea carried her usual freight
to the other islands and goodlv list
of passengers, some of whom are bound
to the volcano, yesterday. John Bur
roughs, the naturalist, will board the
steamer at Maui and go to Hawaii,
where he will visit Kilauea. He will
return on the steamer next Saturday.
Makura Departs.
With every stateroom filled to the
utmost limit and even the space in the
smoklngrooms converted into berths
for the voyage. the Canadian Aus
tralian liner Makura sailed last even
ing at five o'clock for Victoria.
Steamers have carried many passen-
gers through this port before, but it
is doubtful if any vessel of the same
size as the Makura ever had a larger
load of human freight than was taken
away from here yesterday afternoon.
Gable Information was received here
just before the vessel sailed for Fiji
for this port that She would have ac-
commodations for but nine people.
but by stretching space, nearly forty
people were taken on board. Of these,
a large number held return trip tick
cts. The agents now have but one
return trip contract to fulfill, and this
will be done at a later date, when the
travel is not so heavy. The Makura
carried away a number of local peo-
ME. some of whom are bound for
Seattle to see the Exposition.
There was a genuine steamer crowd
down on the Bishop slip to see the
Makura depart. The Hawaiian band
was there in all it's glory, playing
American, Hawaiian and English COM
positions.
