I ed. 1t is not known just why they
nave been withdrawn at this time, but
their duties were not OnerOus and it
g! is supposed that it has dawned upon
! some subdivision OF the State Depart
ment that they We're superfluOus there.
! Nevertheless, they constituted the last
contingent Of foreign troops regularly
stationed in Yokohama, and their de-
paNure is thus historically notable.
1t WAS only little contingent after

Predicts Early Canal Opening:
!. Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE
steamer Navajo, which has arrived
here from Panama, has made her last
trip in the Isthmus trade, according
TO an announcement made here this
morning, The Navajo is under COM
mand OF Captain Miller. She will pro-
coed to San Francisco tomorrow to
discharge the remainder of her cargo.
After that she will ply in the lumber
trade between here and Grays HarboT
and will be one of the largest vessels
in that trade. Captain Miller brought
interesting news of the progress OF
work on the canal ships will be
able to pass through the canal at their
own risk in September" said the cap
tain. They are filling the lakes now,
and the Pacific entrance is dredged
SO that vessels will have no trouble
there The locks will soon be CON-
pleted. The view of the canal before
being opened is very interesting and

Stowaways on LurIne.
If young men having a desire to
stow away on any of the Matson ships
between here and Honolulu knew the
reputation of Captain Weeden of the
steamship Lurline, it is probable that
this ship at least would be thrown out
Of consideration in making plans.
When the Lur,fLe arrived from iiono-
lulu late Tuesday it was learned that
no less than five stowaways had been
discovered on board between Honolulu
and this port.
Four Of these had been discovered
shortly after leaving Honolulu. Three
O. them paid their passage rather than
| be transferred to the Honolulan, with
which Weeden had communicated Via
wireless. The fourth did not have the
necessary change. so that skipper re-
Tented and consented to permit him to
pay his way by swabbing out the
bilges and doing other odd jobs which
, fall to the lot of the unbidden passen-
ger. The fifth young man was found
Just before the urine steamed into
, quarantine. He had been secreted
/ benath one of the berths in the steer
age quarters. The skipper made a
! splendid argument and the fare was
| &C llected.-EXaminer.
