WiIheImina Arrives From Honolulu
The Matson navigation company S
steamer Wilhelmina, Captain Peter
johnson, arrived late yesterday after
noon from Honolulu and docked about
6 o'clock The Wilhelmina brought
l12 cabin passengers and a large cargo.
The freight included SS,344 bags of
sugar and 1865 cases of canned pine
apples.
Among the passengers on the liner
was Captain William Matson, president
of the line, who has been spending sew
eral weeks at the island port. Al
though the Wilhelmina has made only
two VOYAGES, the liner has had three
different surgeons The first, Doctor
Schwerin. was let out because his con-
versation bored the passengers. Doc
tor SeVerenson, who succeeded SchWer-
in, was discharged at Honolulu because
he failed to muster the passengers for
qua arantine inspection at the island port
Ross was appointed surgeon in his
place and still had the job when the
Wilhelmina arrived yesterday The
Wilhelmina left Honolulu ahead of the
Siberia. but did not retain the lead
long Passengers in the Wilhelmina
say that the Pacific Mail liner went by
like shot but of a gun, and even

Siberia Scarchcd md HnnoInIu

Collector of the Port Stackable of
Honolulu is going to have his share of
glory in the suppression of the opium
traffic If searching ships will gain it
for him. when the Siberia arrived at
the island port Stackable announced
that if there was any opium on board
he was going to find it.
To help him in the search he enlisted
1.-The services of the crew of the revenue
cutter McCulloch. Each bluejacket was
armed with bullseye lantern and sew
No opium was found. The Japanese
liner Nippon Maru was given a Similar
search by Stackable and the McCuI-
1och's crew, with the same result.
1t was on the Siberia on it's last visit
to this port that the San Francisco in
spectors found nearly 400 tins of the
contraband dope. They found it in the
piano and in the ships siren. in the
sand locker and mixed up with the
cogs Of the steering gear. They found
1t in hollow logs and among the cook
ing room tables yielded few dozen
tins.
The fact that the Honolulu search
was unproductive is not accepted by
the customs authorities here as evi-
dence that there is no opium on the
liner and the Siberia will be treated
as a suspect and given the third de-
gree.
