The Lesson of the Hurricane.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Lieutenant
George L. Dyer, in charge of the Hydro
graphic Office of the Navy Department,
has issued the following circular, asking
for information in regard to the recent
hurricane in the South Pacific Ocean:
''The recent wrecks and the loss of life
in the harbor at the Samoan ielands have
strongly emphasized the importance of
collecting and publishing as much infor-
nation as possible relative to the mete-
orology of tho Pacific ocean. 1t is the
intention of this Office to commence the
publication of charts of the North and
South Pacific oceans, similar in
their general plan to the pilot
chart of the North Atlantic
ocean. 1t is earnestly requested that re-
liable information relating to hurricanes
in the Pacific, especially about the one
in Samoa, on March Is and l6, be for
warded to this Office, to one of its branch
offices, or to any United States cousnl
for transmission to Washington. The
officers in charge of the branch hydro
graphic offices, will give this circular as
wide publicity as possible, and make
every effort to collect data"

TME NIPAIC AFLOAT.
Natives Rendered Great Assistanc e.
How the CalifOpe Ehcaped.

SYDNEY, April 4.-The British man-of-
war Calliope, which escaped possible de-
strnction in Apia Bay, from the ravages of
the cyclone there, on March Is and Is, has
arrived here. She reports leaving Samoa
on the 21st of March, an that the United
States man-of-war, Nipsic, had been
floated off the beach, the natives lending
material assistance.
Before the hurricane burst every pre-
caution had been taken by the COM
mander of the Calliope to render the
vessel secure. Five anchors had been
dropped, but when the storm was at its
height four of the anchor chains snap
ped and the vessel began to drift. The
captain then determined to leave the
reefs and, if possible, reach the open
sea. This he eventually succeeded in
doing, working his way out at the rate OF
half knot an hour. Tremendous seas
broke over the vessel inflicting much
damage, but fortunately no life was
lost
Thousands of people flocked to the
watelside to-day to see the Calliope, and
all united in praising the pluckiness of
her Captain.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-No news had
Deen recelVeu Dy Ine OIncerS OF tno Navy
Department up to Z 80 o'clock this even
ing, in regard to the floating of the
Nipsic at Samoa. The announcement
through the Associated Press that the
vessel had been foated was received with
great deal OF satisfaction by Secretary
Tracy and the Bureau officers of the
Navy Department. "That's good news !;
that's good; Pm glad to hear it," said
the Secretary. Commodore Walker,
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, was
also highly gratified at the intelligence.
"That's gain of one," said he. "If we
can get her afoat, and sent to Auckland
and repaired, it will be doing very we'll.
l am glad to hear she has been foated.
The Nipsic is good boat, very good
one of her kind" He did not think it
likely the Trenton or Vandalia could be
saved, as the dispatches indicate they
are too badly damaged.

HooD AND ROSE, the bunco men,
have been held to answer the charge Of
conspiracy. White took the elder Weller's
advice, and proved "a halibi." Hon.
John B. Haskins, the victim of the buncc
sharpers, deserves credit for the public
spirit he has shown in remaining
here and prosecuting the offenders
Many persons, under similar circum
stances, would have pocketed theil
losses, avoided the annoying notoriety o.
appearing before the public as dupe
and gone on their way. Judge Haskins
however, took different view of his
duty, and, actuated in great measure
by the public good, has put himself tc
great trouble and expense to bring the
bunco swindlers to grief. One successful
prosecution CT this kind will do more tc
rid the city of these confidence men
than any other step that could have been
taken against them.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-05

The charge of obtaining money by
false personation brought against Hood,
alias James, one of the bunco men, is
felony, and if it is sustained will land
the suave and insinuating young conf
dence man in State Prison. 1t will
be claimed on the part of the
defense that the prosecution, in
order to sustain their case, will have
to move that ex-Postmaster- General
James has a son, or else there could have
been no false personstion. 1t fortu-
nately happens that James has son 80
that part of the case is safe. Whilst it is
true that it would be parodaxical to per-
senate person who had no existence,
yet il is very possible that a swindle
could be successfully accomplished
whether the person personated existed
or not. We doubt if Judge Haskins
knew whether POSTMASTER General
James had a aon or not; yet
he might naturally suppose he
had one, and been imposed upon all the
same by Hoods representations even if
it had turned out that there was no
Junior James in existence. The crime
would have been committed under a
false personation, and that false persona
ton would have been potent factor in
rendering Judge Haskins an easy dupe
to the counterfeit presentment of the
younger James. It may be good
logic that q person who does
not exist cannot be falsely personated,
but it is palpable fact that a man can
be robbed by such false personation.
This kind Of bair-splitting might save
the guilty party from punishment, but it
would not void the material fact that
his victim had been plucked by the ruse. !

A Collision and Smash.Up.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April A collision
of two freight trains occurred this morn
ing on the Nashville and Decatur division
of the Louisville and Nashville road,
three miles south of this city. M. L. Eby
and Ernest @. Green, brakemen, were
instantly killed. Albert Finck, fireman,
was injured in the back, but will proba-
bly, recover. Engineer Moran, of the
southbound train, and Engineer Oakley,
of the northbound train. both jumped
before the engines struck and escaped
without any real injury. Both conduc-
tors Martin and Lemkenheimer were
on their respective cabooses and neither
were hurt. The engines and trains were
badly wrecked.

The Super ntendent of State Printing
says that the Cattle Quarantine bill will
appear among the statutes heis printing
as law properly approved by the Gov
ernor. There shonld be some way of pre-
venting the appearance of this bill in the
volume of laws now being officially
printed. 1t was killed in the House,
as the journal of the Assembly shows,
and Notwithstanding it received the sig
nature of the Governor, it is not law.
To place it in the statute book will only
lead to trouble, and it should be dropped.
The whole State is curious to know how
a defeated bill came to be approved by
the Governor as an Act passed.

The ssListle TYcoon.v

Next to Erminie, regard Willard
Sponsors Little Tycoon as the best comic
opera ever on the boards. There are
several reasons for this belief, among
which may be mentioned its continuity
Of thought, its pleasant sentiment and its
effective tableaux, while we'll balanced
mise en- scene rounds out the story, which
is delightfully."- told"
The above paragraph was written by q
prominent Eastern journalist. 1t can be
safely said from reports, that the produc-
ton of the The Little Tycoon at the Grand
Opera House next week will be grand
one. The company is good, the cos
tunes rich and elegant, the scenery mag
nifcent, the music charming and the
libretto funny. 1t takes all of these ele-
ments to make a good show. Willard
Spenser has them in The Little Tycoon,
consequently the lovers of comic opera
and the theater-goers in general will be
heartily satisfied. In the words of the
authors own topical song, "Tha's what
l think, don't you."

THE GRAND TRUNK ROAD
On Its Defense Before the Inter
State Com mission.


WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day began
hearing in the case of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company, of Canada, upon the
charge of violating the Interstate Com
merce law by granting rates on traffic
taken from points in Canada and by
charging less than published rates on
such shipment. The information upon
which the citation is issued was, at least
in part, furnished by the Michigan Cen
tral.
Attorney Pond, for the Michigan Cen
tral, said, in correspondence between
LedYard and officials of the Grand Trunk
now before the Commission, it was freely
admitted that the company charged the
last shippers of coal and coke from Buff
falo and Black Rock rate considerably
less than its published rate, which he
held to be direct violation of the Inter
State Commerce law. Attorney Kerch-
ner, for the Grand Trunk, denied
that any rebates had been allowed
shippers on business originating in
the United States. Special rates.
however, had been made with the re-
ceivers of coal in Canada which were in
some cases less than the regular tariff
tariff rates. He stated that these special
rates we're plainly stated in the contracts
made with the shippers. Kerchner con-
tended that this traffic from point in
the United States to a point in Canada
did not come within the control or juris-
diction Of the Interstate Commerce Com
The amended Interstate Com
merce act says that the provisions of the
act shall apply to any common carrier
engaged in transportation from any place
in the United States to an adjacent for
eign country, and contended that the
proper Interpretation of the meaning of
the words would be to the "border Of an
adjacent foreign country, and not "into"
that foreign country. 1t might very
properly, he thought, regulate traffic

AT the instance of Hon. John J. Tobin,
Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the late Legislature passed a
series of commendabie laws. One of
these compels employers to take proper
sanitary measures to provide for the
health of their workmen in factories,
workshops and in mercantile and other
establishments. Where females are en-
ployed, proper toilet room shall be
provided for their use; and seats
shall be provided for them in stores,
workshops, etc., to use when not actually
engaged in duties which will necessarily
keep them on their feet. Provision is
also made for proper ventilation, for
cleanliness in back premises, for the use
of mechanical contrivances to get rid
of injurious gases, dust, filaments, etc.,
in workshops, and to generally
protect the health of employees
by approved modes of ventilation, drain
age, etc. The Labor Commissioner is
empowered to see to the enforcement of
this law, and heavy penalties are at
tached for violation of it's provisions.
Mr.. Tobin gives notice that he will wait
a reasonable length of time so as
to allow employers to make the needed
before he will institute q
general inspection. Delinquents will
then be proceeded against vigorously.
Another humane statute is one which
limits the hours of labor to ten each day
in the case of minors under the age of
eighteen, and prohibits the employment

RACING MEN ARRESTED.
Charged with stealing a string of
FLYERS From Kentucky.

DENVER, Colo, April 4-On receipt of
telegraphic instructions from Superin-
tendent Hubbard, of Chicago, the police
to-day arrested Barney Mckinney and
Andy Larkins, the well-kDown horse
men, and are detaining them at police
headquarters to await the arrival of
Chicago officers. The arrest is some
thing OF mystery, it being alleged that
the prisoners are wanted in Illinois for
stealing string of valuable racing horses
from Kentucky. Thehorses arrived here
yesterday and were in the possession of
Mckinney and Larkins when they were
arrested. The animals are worth be-
tween $40. 900 and $25, 900. The prison
ers refuse to talk.

was here several years ago, and achieved
a most gratifying triumph, having played

Hekking, on the cello, stands at the very
head of his art, and the other musicians,

singer, have achieved national fame
that has never been surpassed by any
other combination of artists. We hope
to see the Mendelssohns receive such a
greeting as their great musical abilities
