Japan coasts was quiet. The peace
conference was holding its session in
Shanghai while the Persia was there
= The trip across the Pacific was made
amid heavy swells. The seas were
running very high, but the Persia was
running before them, and, therefore,
did not receive the full effects of
! them.
For Honolulu there we're nine cabin
passengers and seventy-one in the
steerage, thirty-two of whom were
brides for local Japanese, who had
picked their future wives out from
photographs forwarded.
The cargo totaled 800 tons for here,
comprising tea, beans, mating, Chi
nese merchandise and general freight
For the Coast there are 1947 tons of
cargo; for Mexico there are sixty
eight tons, and for the interior 1892
tons. The chief line is a quantity of
raw silk approximating in value
S1,2OO,OOO.
I When the Persia leaves here this
Afternoon she will have fifty-seven
cabin passengers, two in the second
class and 40 Asiatics in the steerage.
There will be few layovers from
here also.
During the run over the usual
/ sports were enjoyed by all.

The picture produced in this morn
Z ing's Advertiser alleging to be that OF
the Virginian, which was recently in
collision with the Strathalbyn, caused
a ripple of merriment among the

d 1t was too crude an affair to tall
