CHINESE STEAMSHIP MAN TO FEEL
BUSINESS PULSE At THIS PORT
Now Flying the Flag of the New RepubIc-Marama Met
With Stormy Weather-Popuar PlrSer Dodd Receives
Sad NeWs-Arzonan Broubht New York Cargoes.

A prominent representative from
the China Mutual Steam Navigation
Company. one of the strongest over.
seas and coastwise transportation CON
Germs dealing with business along theI
coast of Asia. is declared on excellent
authority as intending to make al
brief visit at Honolulu while on a tour
from Orient to OCcident. The ChincseI
steamshipman is believed to be a pas.
sengcr in the Japanese liner Chiyo Ma
ru, expected to put in an appearance,
here on or about next Tuesday.
The proposition TO establish a
trans-PaCifiC service under the new
flag of the Chinese Republic is no new
one to the shipping world. 1t will be
| remembered that it was not many
months ago that DIR. Sun Vat Sen was
hcraldcd far and wide as having as.
pirations towards the starting of a
| new line to traverse the Pacific.
The China Mutual, like one or two
| other Celestial-owned steamship lines
| now doing business in Eastern waters,
Is believed to be finely equipped to
carry through such a proposition to a
successful issue. At the present time
the Chinese operate lines extending to
Siam, Java, Borneo and the Straits
Settlements.
The prediction was ventured this
morning that should the Chinese enter
the lists practically all the coolie trav.
81 would be diverted to their steam,
ers. This means a considerable sum.
as can be estimated by the number of
Orientals continually passing through
Honolulu as steerage passengers in
Pacific Mail and Japanese liners.
Local Chinese are on the qui vive
expecting the arrival of someone high
the councils of shipping and transport
tation under the fve.barred flag.
Mariana Made Brief Stay.
1t did not require much time to dis
charge twenty-five tons general cargo
brought to this port this morning by
the Canadian-Australia liner Mariana
and that vessel therefore made very
brief stop here.
The Mariana was brought along the
Eva side of Alakea wharf before
. o'clock, terminating very rough anC
stormy passage, which had much Il
do with the delay in arrival of tn,
vessel.
The freight received at this por
from British Columbia consisted al
most entirely of drums Of Goldfish.
The Mariana Is not crowded in tn,
least with passengers. The steame
. arrived this morning with AZ cabin, s.
second and 40 third-Class passengers
Among those who left the vessel OF
arrival at Honolulu were twenty younl
girls, members of a juvenile oper;
company which will open an engage
! ment with one of the local theaters.
: The Mariana was dispatched 70
sydney by the way of Fiji and Auck
. land shortly before the noon hour. Tn,
thirty members of negro minstre
troupe were numbered among the pas
sengers departing for the Antipodes.
