Explosives Embarrass Captains.
The fact that freighters carry explo-
sive shells from San Francisco to Ho-
nolulu for the big guns at Fort Ruger,
has called for protest from the ship
ping authorities at Seattle. One of the
.Matson boats loaded shells at San Fran
cisco and on the way here called at
Seattle. The freighter's master was
notified that in future if his cargo
included explosive shells that the au-
thorities of Seattle would be compelled
to keep the vessel out in the stream.
Sierra for Island Run.
Chronicle, November 18.-The action
of the officials of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company in preparing for the over
hauling of the liner Sierra, which has
| been out of commission for nearly three
! years, is looked upon in local steamship
| circles as a significant move on the
part of the Spreckels company to COM
| petitively meet the effect which the
| installation of the new Matson passen-
! ger liner Wilhelmina has had on the
| Hawaiian traffic, and it is prophesied
in shipping circles that rate war to
| the Islands is likely to be brought
| about in next February, when the Mat
son liner will be placed on the run.
| Denying that they have let any con-
! tracts, the Oceanic company officials
admitted yesterday that the matter of
reftting the Sierra and converting her
into an oil burner has been seriously
contemplated, and she would probably
go on the docks before the Christmas
| holidays. As a reason the officials de-
clare that the Sierra will be placed
in relief of the Alameda to Honolulu,
| which will be taken off the run for the
| regular overhauling which during the
past she has undergone every two
/ wears. It was also admitted that if the
I Sierra is placed in commission, in all
probability she would be kept on the
| Island run after the return of the Ala
media.
