GAELIC BRINGS PRECIOUS FREIGHT FROM THE MARKETS OF THE ORIENT

From the Orient.As a prize for pirates the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company's liner, Gaelic, Captain Finch, which arrived yesterday from the Orient, is about the most desirable thing that has crossed the Pacific in many days. She carries a cargo of peculiar richness and much of it in such form as to have made it immediately available for the pirate treasury. This precious freight included 1,500,000 gold Chinese yen and raw silk valued at $1,100,000. This is the largest shipment of raw silk that has left an Oriental port in more than two years.

The Gaelic encountered northeast and easterly gales for almost the entire passage and from Hongkong to the Golden Gate her way led through heavy head seas, which contributed considerable discomfort to the passengers until they had acquired stable stomachs and good, serviceable sea-legs.

The Gaelic's passengers included some people well known in the Far East. A Beltchenko is attached to the Russian Legation at Peking, J. Charles C. Tyler has been engaged in the oil fields of Borneo, and L. Roser, bound for Germany, will return in a few months to take a professorship at the Tientsin University. Mrs. H. D. Wilson Is a navy woman, her husband being at present surgeon of the United States ship Vlcksburg. Mrs. L. G. Maxfield is a Kentucky society woman, who has been touring in the Far East, and D. Meredith is a Londoner, interested in the dried fruit business.
