China, republican as il now is, does
not appeal to one unwilling waytarer
on the Pacific Mail steamer Nile and
it took the whole immigration and har
Dor police force to keep the persistent
celestial on board last night and this
morning, and even then they We're not
sure that he was not on shore until
they went outside and took a second
look at the Orientals on board when
the Nile was just off the mouth of the
harbor. The new liner which arrived
here on her second visit yesterday
bound for the Orient, carried a large
party of Chinese who did not pass the
immigration officials on the mainland
and were being deported. There was
nothing meek about this party of de
ports either and the one offender who
caused so much trouble at the last
was determined to get away at any
cost. Twice last night he attempted
to get away and on one occasion he
got out of his handouts, Cunning fash.
ion, and nearly escaped When the
steamer was about to sail this morn
ing he was thought to be missing. An
employee of the ship said he had last
seen the trouble-maker with one hand
free from his irons. An effort was
made to bring all the deports on deck
and look them over but they threat
ened trouble when the attempt was
made and the immigration officials,
seconded by Officer Weday, had no
little difficulty in going over all the
| Orientals on board They failed to
find the man and the Nile started
away leaving all uncertain as to
whether the Chnaman was on shore
or concealed in the ship. Inspector
Farmer set out in launch when the
steamer was running through the
channel and stopped her outside A
second inspection was made and on
this occasion the supposedly missing
man was found safe on board so all
was well and the Nile set out for the
Orient.
The steamer took on 500 tons of coal
in this port over night and carried
seven cabin passengers out of Homo

no freight aside from sixteen pack
ages of condemned exports which are
being shipped back to merchants in
the Far East.
SIERRA DELAYED BY CARGO.
The Oceanic steamer Sierra got
away this morning about eleven
O'Clock with a full cargo of sugar and
island products and a good sized pas
senger list after an hours delay at the
dock. The Sierra did not get over
from the railroad wharf until this
morning and the cargo piled up on the
Oceanic wharf awaiting her was more
than the stevedores could handle in
the few hours allotted to them. Han
ding the baggage was attended with
unusual difficulties this morning also,
for there was a veritable lei riot on
the decks and gangways of the Sierra
and the dock itself was damned in
such fashion by the enthusiastic but
inconsiderate farewell parties that
the stewards could scarcely force
their way on board the steamer with
trunks and stateroom luggage. There
was a constant stream of people
squeezing their way up the gangway
and through the narrow passage to
the main salon of the vessel from nine
O'Clock until she sailed, and it seemed
that the departing travellers and their
friends who came to see them get
away could find no place to gossip,
tons incidental to a farewell except
in the circumbscTibed space at the
head of the gangway. These Sierra
pGrtings are getting to be more like
little carnivals with each sailing and
the distracted quartermasters and
stewards might relieve the difficulty
somewhat If a second gangway were
rugged up aft so that the crowds
would distribute themselves.
The Sierra carried away 16S cabin
passengers, seventy-two Spanish and
Portuguese in the steerage, 27,O95
bags of sugar, 5000 lunches of bana-
mas, 42S tons of general freight and
the mail. The cargo totaled about
2600 tons.
