No. 3375 KOREANS ARRIVING PERKINS JIEELECTED GEORGE C. PERKINS IS RE-ELECTED TO SUCCEED HIMSELF AS SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA HIS THIRD TERM IN THE UPPER HOUSE OF CONGRESS WAS ONCK GOVERNOR. BAR AND HOLD i if 'HAWAIIAN" STAR i 7- A AR PARTI 1 BYTHE A One Hundred And Two Subjects of the Hermit Kingdom Heach Here to Try Their Luck at Plantation Labor. A possible solution of the problem for labor on the plantations arrived, this morning on the S.

S. Gaelic. The "solution" came In the shape of a patty of 102 Korean Immigrants for these Islands. Aside from the possibility of Korea being a source of supply for labor, the advent of the party was of special Interest for the reason that they were the first large party of Immigrants to ever leave Korea for the western hemisphere. In the party were 21, women, 23 children and the rest able bodied men.

The party boarded the Gaelic at Nagasaki, having come 'from 'Korea. The present immigration of Koreas In such extensive numbers Is entirely experimental. The party come to Honolulu to seek employment. If any work Is to be had they will probably remain. Thaeml-gratlon of Koreans is probably due to the effects of the recent terrible famines that caused such mlseryand suffering in Korea.

The population of an entire district died from the effects of famine and for days hundred of corpses remained unburled. Populous villages reduced to charnal places. misery of the people probably led the various members of the present party to seelt their fortunes in some other country where the struggle for existence -was not accompanied by such terrible disasters. The Japanese have extensive Interests and exercise much lnllucnoe in Korea, and the attention of the Koreans was no doubt directed to the possibilities of (Hawaii by the Japanese. The Koreans should do -well In these islands.

The people of Korea largely follow agricultural pursuits. Now that the sugar season Is Just setting In they ought to 'be able to secure employment about the Islands. Another very interesting fact connected wits the arrival of the present party is that heretofore few if any women have ever been permitted to leave the country. The Koreans are very careful and conservative with their women and seldom have allowed any to depart for foreign shores. The Korean men are not unfamiliar sights In these islands and on the mainland.

They are easily distinguished by their tall odd looking hats that resemble old-time lly traps. The Immigration of Koreans has previously 'been very limited. They have arrived in parties consisting of scarcely over half a dozen In um'ber. The party on the Gaelic Is therefore very unique. All of the Koreans aboard are coming to the Hawaiian Islands.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBaiBDBBaiBBBBBM pacific Additional news of the typhoon that caused suelv'havoc aboard the battleship Oregon the latter part of November wns brought this morning by the S. The Gaelic and Oregon left Honolulu the same day for Yokohama November 23, and on November 28 they both ran into the typhoon.

The Oregon fared much worse than the Gaelic. Captain Finch of the Gaelic say that the storm was the worst ln his experience. A very Interesting fact was observed regarding the storm. This was the length of Its course. The Gaelic took the southerly course while the Oregon stood up by the Great Circuit route.

The gale broke "on the Gaelic in the evening about o'clock. At 8 o'clock Captain Finch hove his vessel to. The fury of the storm was terrific. The wind was from the northeast with tremendous seas. Big seaa broke on the boat repeatedly land had the full force of ony of them broken on the Gaelic she would have sustained very material damage.

For twenty-five hours from 8 p. 111. of November 28 the Gaelic was hove to and not until 9 p. m. of November 29 did Captain Finch consider it safe to get under way.

As it was the vessel sustulned considerable damage. Several boats were smashed and some minor damage done. Aboard the Gaelic are a couple of Invalided sailors from (he Oregon, who were aboard th Oregon during the slorm. They are not able to give a very accurate or complete account of the storm but 'both describe It ns the worst they ever experienced. The position of the Gaelic during the storm was about 23.30 north laltltude and about 172 west longitude.

From what the sailors from the Oregon say the battleship must have been about 390 miles to the northward of the Gaelic when same storrr. broke. The typhoon seemed to strike the two boats about the 3ame time. Flrom the statements bf the two sailors from the the battleship was helpless during a portion of the slorm. As was reported In the letter to Mr.

White of the local naval station, "All Hands save the ship" was bounded on the night of November 28. The vessel lost every boat she had. Those that were not washed overboard were broken. The water poured down the ventilators and flooded some of the bunkers. The Oregon with her heavy superstructure and huge guns Is not a good sea boat.

Evidently It was Impossible to keep her headed into the storm, for she drifted CO miles during the two days that the storm was In progress. In addition to the damage to the superstructure the deck of the vessel was strained which means considerable to a big vessel like the Oregon. It is estimated that fully $60,000 worth of dam. age was done the Oregon. When the Gaelic left Yokohama January 3 the Oregon was then In dry dock being repaired.

The same storm appears to have been very general. The S. S. Athenian which arrived at Yokohama from Victoria about the same time that the Gaelic did from this port encountered terrible weather and sustained much damage. The Empress liner which followed was badly damaged by the storm.

Strange to relate, the Nippon Maru which must have passed close to the storm coming this way the early part of December missed the typhoon. A Cough Is, Not a Disease, but a symptom.

VEKTOIW FANNING ISLAND UNUSUALLY STRONG CURRENT SET VJS8SEL EASTWARD OF ISLANDPLACE FINALLY REACHED LAWYBI ARE TO MET 1 SMctel Meeting of The ffi Association Called for Friday! W99K i ne uns Again, mm Bf the axle keeping In their place until the car reached Richards street. Here It left the track. Men were at once hurried to the place and the disabled car was slewed oft the track and out of the way of other cars. While this was being done the cars on the whole Hotel street system were run down Alapal street to King nnd out King to Llltha, and going the other way, the reverse process, so that the operations of the cars wns very little deranged.

The work of taking tno trucks from the disabled car so that repairs could be made proceeded this morning on Hotel stdeet near Miller and attracted The S. S. Ventura which arrived late this morning from the south had a very eventful thing happen on, the way to thlii port from the Colonies and Pago Pago. She lost Fanning island. People on the hlp probably began to feur that th Ulatid had suddenly dropped into the bottom of the s.u.

for It was several hours before the Island could be located. Finally Captain Huyward picked the place up and when he did it was to find that the weather was so rough that he could not make the usual landing by the cable house but would have to go to the Urltlah landing. Tile cause of the Island being lost was very strong easterly current thut set the vessel out of her course. The Ventura was due at Fanning Island las; Saturday. Captain Hayward hnil the vessel steered eo as to pick up Fanning Island early in the morning.

When the time for picking up the island arrived, there was no Island to pick up. It had apparently vanished. Captain Hayward figured that perhaps with the current setting as it had done, the island should lie to the eastward. The vesfel was put about end ran about an hour to thp eastward. Finally It became evident that the ship was going the wrong way so l.er course was changed and she was put about to aa entirely different course going to the westward.

Several houra were lost steaming about before the island was sighted. After island was mado the full force of the easterly current wns appreciated. The current was setting to the eastward like a mill race and It was not surprising that It Tiad carried the Ventura go far out of her course. Such a current is very unusual In that section. "King" 'CJrelg said that the weather that had boon prevailing about the Island was the worst that he had seen a life time's residence on Fanning.

With the exception of encountering this current off Fanning Island the trip of the Von turn to this port was otherwise uneventful. She left Sydney. December 29, Auckland. January 2, Pago Tago January fi nnd Fanning Island January 10. The vessel has iQ through passengers for S.m Francisco.
