Saturday as day Of departure of
Pacific Mail liners from San Francisco
is destined to bring ABOUT some impor.
tant changes in the schedule of arriv'
ais at the several ports of call.
The Persia, one of the intermediate
steamers in the Pacific Mail fleet,
| was an arrival at Honolulu this morn
| ing, bringing a dozen Japanese pas.
scngCrs, who are members of a the.
HtriCal company now en- route to the
realm of the Mikado. They have been
| induced to remain over here for n pc.
Rod.
Another passenger in the Persia
who was persuaded to break his jour
ney at this port is a Japanese who at
| the instance of volunteer promotion
| committee consisting of Chief of De
| tCCtivos Arthur MCDufIic and his able
| deputy John Kcllott was politely but
| nouethcless firmly taken in hand on,
| arrival of the steamer and escorted
to the City and County bastilc, there
to await instructions from the SAN
Francisco police authorities. The Jap
ancsc Is charged with emDe22lcmentI
and his effects, all practically brand
new. were removed from the Persia.
Chief MCDuhie and Officer Kellett|
visited the Persia at quarantine and
soon had this intcnsely-wanted Nip.
puncsC under arrest He was arrayed
| in fine linen and appeared exceeding
prosperous.
I'm speaking of the important change
in the sailing schedule. one officer In
| the Persia stated this morning that
hereafter instead of leaving San Fran
cisco for the Far East on Tuesdays or
| Wednesdays. as has been the practice
| for a long time, the steamers of. the
Pacific Mail and Togo Kisen Kaisha
will start their westward voyages
from the Coast to the land Of the ris.
ing sun on the last day of the week.
The arrival days have also been
changed on the new joint schedule ar
Hanged by both the American and
Japanese companies. Instead of
| reaching san Francisco on Thursdays
| and Fridays, the homeward-bound lin
crs will enter the Golden Gate on
| Mondays and Tuesdays, the big liners
on the former day and the intermedi.
steamers on the latter. The change
was made in order to accommodate
| The liner Nile, which is now making
her first round trip in the service. As
usual there will be a weekly sailing
and II is believed that the new meth.
cd for departures and arrivals will be
more satisfactory than the old.
Under the old schedule vessels ar.
irving late in the week never got well
started in the discharge of their car.
goes at San Francisco until Monday.
Now, however, the time of their ar.
rival will give the gangs straight
stretch of several days to discharge,
loading beginning the first day of the
new weeks and completing in time for
departure on Saturday.
Captain John Hill reports a fine
trip down from the Coast. The Per.

the banks of Japan and China.
