MORNING - OTHER NoTABLES
RETURN FROM COAST.

The big liner Siberia, Captain A.
Dixon was sighted early this morning
and came to the dock at the foot or
Aakea street shortly after s O'Clock.
AS was to be expected, perhaps, IN
view of the return of the Governor and
other prominent citizens, the wharf
was crowded with people. There were
over eighty passengers for Honolulu,
more than half of the ships list get
ting off here.
The Siberia brought no mail nor
papers, the Alameda having cleaned
up the lot at San Francisco. Same
Old story" Mr.. Mossman, of Oat &
Mossmans explains to his paper Gus
toners today, "the slow boat always
catches the late mails and news files"
On the way down the Siberia ex-
perienced very good weather consider
ing the time of year. 1t was thought
that the storm of few days ago may
have reached her but such was not
the case. The passengers thoroughly
enjoyed the voyage, which began with
the cold fog of the California coast
and tapered off, as it were, into the
well Liquid sunshine anyway, OF
Hawaii.
The most prominent passenger on
board the Siberia was Governor Frear,
returning from his visit to Washing
ton. He travelled alone, his private
secretary having returned here earlier
in the month. The Governor appear
ed considerably fatigued, but express
ed himself as feeling well and ready to
take up the duties of his Office at once.
| And it is well it is so; for while Sec
! best smiles, he informed the Governor
that the official desk in the executive
chamber was literally loaded with inn
portant documents of every kind, some
requiring immediate attention. The
| Governor rode with Mr.. Mott-Smith
directly to the capitol and, after visit
ing his home, settled down to work
Alexander Young and wife also re-
turned. Both have been i'll. Mrs.
Young was taken with a severe cold
three weeks ago and has only begun TO
improve in the past few days. Mr..
Young was sick for two weeks but
landed in better shape than ne had
hoped for. The Youngs left here on
october IL, so have been away over
three months.
General John F. Soper returned from
a business visit on the coast. He had
been away since November Is. Cen
eral Soper looks well and says he has
had a good time as well as putting in
some good promotion work for Ha-
waii.
H. E. Hendricks, the safe man, re-
turned from business visit to eastern
centers. He brought back with him
the large vault ordered by the Tent
trust Company for their Fort street
offices.
Another returning passenger was
Justice S. NJ Ballou. He was having
a good rest of it in San Francisco when
a hurry-up call came from Chief JUS
tice Hartwell for him to return. He
is badly wanted here or at least Judge
Hartwell thinks so to take hand in
/ prospective county cases.
Walter F. Dillingham; and George p.
Qenison, of the Hawaiian Dredging
Company, returned from Washington
where they have been in connection
with the dredging contract for Pearl
