CHINA HERE FOR FLORAL PARADE
Liner Will Hurry to Arrive For Big
Event---Sierra Also Due That Day.
Wilhelmina Will be in Port
Siberia'S Long Stay

uer journey from 1Okohama IN order
that she may be here on Thursday
next in time to permit the contingent
on her to witness the Floral Parade.
Captain Emery Rice has his orders
to get here on the 22d if he can, and
with the speed of the China it is
almost certain that she will be IN
plenty of time to permit the pasen-
gers to get ashore and see the ceIe-
brations. AS she will be so mucn
ahead of time, it is more than likely
that she will not leave until Friday,
SO that the evening festivities can lie
taken in by the transients.
SIBERIA AT DAYLIGHT ToMoR-
ROW.
The Siberia has wirelessed in that
she will be here at daylight tomorrow
from the Orient. She has 800 tons
for here. She will not leave until
Saturday morning for San Francisco,
either at 9 or 10 o'clock, the hour
has not yet been fixed, thus giving
the through passengers a full twenty
four hours in port, fact that will no
doubt be appreciated by them.
LURLINE TO KAHuLUI ToMoR-
ROW.
The Lurline's accident that wound
the thick hawser around the pro-
peller is not regarded as in any way
serious. Mr.. Drew stated this morn
ing that there was no occasion for
any worry, as the rope had no doubt
been torn to shreds by the propeller.
Anyway, the Lurline has been listed
to sail tomorrow evening for Kanuiu1,
where she will discharge her 400 tons
of freight and be back here early on
Tuesday next, sailing the same even
ing at 6 o'clock for San Francisco.
SIERRA HAS PLENTY OF ROOM.
Agents c. Brewer & Co. have re-
ceived number of reports to the
effect that the general belief is that
the Sierra is practically full already
for her next trip from here on Feb
ruary 2S. She has booked up fairly
well, but there is plenty of room still
for those who would travel in her on
the next outward trip. OF course,
early bookings is necessary to secure
the positions desired most, as in all
probability, when she does leave
here, she will be pretty full vessel.
COLUMBIAN OUT ON TIME.
The Columbian left Seattle at If
O'Clock last night for Honolulu direct.
She brings the New York cargoes of
the Californian and the Hawaiian,
and is expected to arrive some time
on February %. She will, of course.
bring some cargo from the SounG as
well as the transhipped lines
PERSIA EXPECTED ON MONDAY. .
The Persia usually consumes six
days on the trip between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu, and it is assumed
that the voyage begun on Tuesday last
Will be no exception to the rule. /
Therefore, the agents look for her |
some time on Monday next AS she |
left day before the Wilhelmina, in
all likelihood she will bring the mans
that accumulated in the six days be-
tween the leaving of the Lurline and
the Persia.
VESSELS IN WIRELESS TOUCH.
The local wireless office is in toucn
with the Cleveland, which left yes
terday on another world-encircling
tour; the Tenyo Maru, out since Tues
day on her way to the Orient, and the
Siberia, en- route here from the ORR
ent and due at daylight tomorrow.
