Shipping News and Gossip of the Water Front Yeddo Arrives From the Antipodes and Brings No Word of Missing Aeon British steamer Yeddo. Captain Wln field, which arrived here yesterday from Australia, left the antipodes un der orders \o keep a sharp lookout for the misslrij? steamer Aeon and also for the disabled steamer Hawea, but ar rived litre without word of either. The Yeddo went considerably out of Us course and made a call at Apia in i^amoa, l>ut neither heard nor saw any- j thins of the missing tr"amps. The Yeddo itself presented rather a disreputable appearance when it reached this port. With only 400 tons of freight by way of ballast, the steamer was high out of the water, so \u25a0 hijrh that half its propeiler revolved in •he air. The steamer's sides were al- Tsiost Innocent of paint and were cov ered with rust. To the landsman the Yeddo looked more like an abandoned wash boiler than a relief ship, 'but what looked like distress to the land \u25a0 lubber will disappear in a few days under a coat or two of paint. It is €3 days now since the Aeon left this port for Sydney via Apia and noth- '\u25a0 iiiK has been heard of the vessel since. There are some United States navy people on board and it is understood '• that a cruiser has been ordered toi Karch the south Pacific for the dere- : lict tramp. The steamer Hawea, for which the Yeddo also searched, belongs to the Union steamship line and was last re ported off Lord Howe island with Its broken. It is thought that some V'rr.llar accident has happened to the Jwoxu Tboma* Arrive* From Manila The army transport Thomas, Cap tain Lynazn. arrived yesterday from Manila, a day ahead of Its schedule ! Time, with about 150 cabin passengers and a large number of casuals. The ranking oifioer on board was Brigadier j General Philip Iteade. Captain D. Tt. Cabell of the First cavalry was In rommand of the troops on board. Cap tain Lawrence D. Cabell Is the quarter master captain or purser of the trans port. The Thomas, which has a. record for meeting and outwitting typhoons, was favored with line weather all the way Rt-ross the Pacific. The absence of warships from this coast enabled the Thomas to make fret? use of its wire !<^s for the first time on a homeward {rip 6lnce the Atlantic fleet entered the Pacific. * < Irnrluß Vp the Water Front Prompted possibly by the physical cleanliness of East street, which is now being cleaned scientifically under a con tract which calls for no pay until re sults are satisfactory. Captain Michael Joseph Conboy decided yesterday to rid the water front of the undesirable citl ler.s that have found the wharves and pierheads desirable" lounging places within the last few days. He sent Corporal J!m McGowan with a posse to make a collection, and within an hour the police had gathered in 13 human derelicts who were locked up and charged with vagrancy. McGowan tlassed his prisoners as "professional ;rtpples, dangerous yeggmen and plain bums." He Is going to make another raid this afternoon. Not Daxasgred by Fire The British steamer Hughenden. \u25a0which was reported at Rio Grande do Sul with fire in Its cross bunkers, was not damaged. A cable received yes terday at '.he Merchants' exchange re ports that the fire was extinguished be fore any damage had been done to the iji-iero, which is being discharged In mrord condition. To licpnlr the AnubU Specifications have been prepared and V'ids will be invited for making perma nent repairS to the Kosmos liner Anubis. which was badly damaged as the result of Us experience on a rocky ledge in the Santa Barbara channel. The damage Is very extensive and it Is expected that there will be some keen bidding for the week. Water Front Notes Receipts of lumber yesterday by sea amounted to 2,€i»5,000 feet. Japanese liner Tenyo Maru is ex pected to arrive early Tuesday morning from the orient. According to the time from Honolulu made on its maiden voyage the big turbine liner could be i'.ure Monday, but the company of ficials at this port say that no effort will be made to break another record- The police launch Patrol. In charge of Captain Michael Joseph Conboy, was out all of yesterday searching for the I bodies of the five boys from the North !
