THE TALLApoosA,s TRIP.
She Went Out TO Find Dangerous Reef,
But Found It Wasn't There.

The Tallapoosa returned to the Washington
navy yard on Tuesday evening, and last night
REPUBLICAN reporter interviewed Can't
Kellogg as to tho result of the cruise. "The
object of the Tallapoosa's cruise" said Capt
Kellogg, who possesses in high degree all
tho bonhommie and boncameradie of the ira
ditional sea captain, was to definitely locate
dangerous shoal off Cape San Antonio, Cuba,
first described by an old Spanish navigator
and laid down on all the charts. 1t was re.
portod to he about seventeen miles to the
westward of Cape San Antonio, and said to
have only % fathoms of water. My own
private opinion was that If such shoal had
really existed in these seas there would
have been half a dozen shipwrecks, at least,
every year. We found as n matter of fact
that that shoal docs not exist land never did
exist save in the fancy or the fears of the
Castillian cruisers Instead of there being
two and half fathoms of wator on the spot
where the charts locate this shoal there are
really 100 fathoms-6,600 feet. Two other
reported shoals in the same neighborhood,
| further to the north and nearer the Colorado
reef located on the charts with two and four
| fathoms of water respectively, were also
found non existent. The San Antonio knoll,
| a shoal having fifteen fathoms of water, about
| eight miles to the northwestward of Cape
San Antonio, does really exist. Having ninety
feet OF water, it is not dangerous, as you may
imagine"
"What is the depth of water between Cape
Chtoche and Cape San Antonio?"
"The Yucan strait has /, 100 fathoms."
"ls tho sea roughW
at was while we were there, so rough we
| could not use our small boats"
"Did you survey the Colorado reef?"
ave looked over ii. To make a careful
survey of that reef would take years. We
spent seven days in determining the non
existence of the reported shoals l have men
toned, and tho limit of our coal supplies would
not have permitted an extended survey of the
reef had that been an object of the cruise"
"Are the results Of your trip of material
advantage to seamenW
ayes. 1t has been the habit of sailors to
pass between these report cd shoals and the
Colorado reef, which is a very dangerous one.
Now vessels can strike out boldly from Cape
San Antonio, thus avoiding any possible dan
ger from the reef"
"What is the Colorado reef?'
"It is dangerous coral barrier, starting
from Cape San Antonio and tending north
ward and eastward at u little distance from
the Cuban coast, for hundred miles"
"Did you encounter bad weather coming
honor
"Yes A severe gale of wind struck us Just
south of Cape Lookout, and lasted thirty
hours. We had as much as we could do to
keep off the shore. 1t seemed TO me at first
to be cyclone, but / soon found it was but a
severe old fashioned storm"

Ten inspection az Chicago.

No inspection has yet been made by the
secretary of the treasury of tea inspector for
the city Of Chicago under tho provisions of
the bill passed at the last session of congress,
entitled "An act to prevent the importation
of adulterated and spurious teas" Secretary
Folger said yesterday that the statements
which have been recently published to the
effect that efforts have been made to secure
the appointment of q man from New York
city as tea inspector at Chicago were entirely
without foundation. He has not, he said, been
approached by any merchant of New York
city, or by the representative of any such
merchant, with reference to this appointment,
nor had he consulted with any person from
that state in tho matter. In selecting an
inspector for Chicago he would, he said, be
governed entirely by the recommendations OF
the customs officers in that city. The latest
information he had received from there was
to the effect that much difficulty had been ex.
perienced in finding resident of the city
properly qualified for the place who was will.
ing to accept the appointment.

"THERE is excellent reason to believe that
Rossas extradition has not been demanded. I"
So says New York Tribune correspondent
"fresh" from the State department As ex-
tradition means the delivery by one nation to
another of a fugitive from justice, and as
Rosa has not committed a crime in England
and then fed to this country, "there Is ex-
cellent reason TO believe" what the Tribune
man says. The excellence of the reason con-
sists in the fact that no English official would
be ass enough to suppose that man could be
sent to England to be tried foracts committed
in the United States.

A "BuIuning" +" shame.


The investigation of the Washington Gas
company at the last session Of congress amounted
to litte and the attack is therefore likely to be
renewed next winter. Ex-Representative Klotz
of Pennsylvania, declares in pamphlet, which
he has taken pains to publish, that that monopoly
has cheated the United States out ofs 5OOOOOi that
its paid agents are also in the employment Of the
house of representatives; and that Speaker Keller
purposely abetted the fraud by appointing a
whitewashing committee and by persistently re-
using to give him (Klotz the floor, either TO make
a speech or TO ask for leave to print speech
showing up the company in Its true light. These
charges are sufficiently explicit to receive atten'
ton. 1t is admitted that the gas corporation has
for many years paid annual dividends averaging
nearly II per cent and Mr., Klotz adds that it has
at the same time added Sl,O0O,0OO Of fictitious
stock TO its $4,000 capital. Enormous profits
take TO gas companies as naturally as ducks take
