BAXTER's NEW POSITION.
superintendent of Oregon Division
Union Pacifc-McNeiI in Danger

1t is sad by men in this city who are posted
on Union Pacific affairs, that Robert Baxter,
whose appointment superintendent of the
western division was announced in an Omaha
dispatch yesterday. is simply to be superintend-
ent of the Oregon subdivision between Port
land and Huntington, his appointment taking
effect October Is. He succeeds Edward Cook
ingham in that position, E. Mcneil retaining
his position as general superintendent of the
western division. though his tenure of Office is
reported to be shaky. He was brought by Presi-
dent Adams from the superintendency of the ST.
Joseph & Grand Island branch to be general
manager of the western division, but since Jay
Gould obtained the supremacy his title has been
changed TO general superintendent

A Steamer Captain Charged With De-

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-The return of
the schooner Electra, Captain Knudsen,
to port this morning in damaged condi-
ton, will furnish the Inspectors of Steam
Vessels some labor, as they win no doubt
commence an investigation shortly. The
Electra was damaged in collision, and al
though the accident happened on the 1st
inst, no news was obtained until this
morning. The Electra was on her way
to Humboldt from this city, and on the
night of the 1st inst, at 1850 O'Clock,
when the schooner was ten miles north
west Of Point Arena and Boating up the
coast, the steamer Jeanie, Captain Porter,
came along on her way to this city from
Seattle, loaded with coal Without any
warning the steamer collided with the
schooner, striking her on the port bow
and carrying away her bowsprit, jib-
boom, cathead and top-gallant sail
The steamer, according 10 Captain
knudsen's statement, never offered any
assistance whatever after the accident oc-
CURED but kept on her course and
reached this port yesterday morning.

THE TARIFF ACT.
SHERMAN'S BILL MODIFYING IT'S
PROVISIONS.
Lively Contest Expected When 1t
Comes Up for Action in
the Senate.
Special to the REcoRD-uS1os.


NEW YORK, Feb. "a Tribune
Washington special says: Indications
have been given that there will be a
lively and probably protracted discus
sion over the bill now being pushed by
Senator sherman, modifying the Nc
kinley Tariff Act, to avoid terms which
are said to be inconsistent with and have
effect upon the existing treaty with the
Hawaiian Islands.
The Tariff Act modifies the treaty bv
levying duties upon certain articles
which by that treaty were made duty
free. Sherman explains that the recent
changes in the head of the Government
Of the Sandwich Islands make it of vital
Importance that the treaty should be OBJ
served in perfect good faith.
The consideration OF the bill is now be-
ing hiGdered by Senators who think that
the United States is conceding more to
Hawaii by the treaty than it receives in
return. These Senators insist that this
proposed Act shall make specific provis-
ion by which the United States will Sc
cure the right TO occupy 4 coal station on
Pearl River for the Use of vessels of war
and vessels of commerce. That demand, it
was supposed. had been fully acqaiesced
in under tho recent legislation, but lat
terly it has been learned that the grant
was incomplete.
At all events the Government has not,
down to this time, established coaling
station and dock yards in Pearl River
harbor.
An appropriation of half million dol
lars fer this purpose is now pending in
the Senate, as an amendment to one of
the appropriation bills, but certain Sena-
tors have manifested determination to
insert that provision for complete
establishment of the station in Pearl
River shall be included in the bill now
pending to amend the Mckinley tariff
Act.
