THE MARINE HOSPITAL.
Appropriation Wanted for New Build
ing at Port Townsend

DR.. A. Fl. Glennan, who is in charge of the
United States marine hospital at Port
Townsend, arrived at the Grand hotel
yesterday with Frank A. Bartlett and f..
Albert Bartlett, members of the we'll
known firm Of ship chambers and ship brokers
of Port Townsend. The doctor, who is a New
Yorker, has bsen in the service for thirteen
years, and Ia reekoned as one of the ablest of
the marine hospital surgeons Eve have about
thirty patients at Port Townsend" said he last
night, land we are hoping now tor an apnropria-
ton of $4,000 for new buildings The present
structure is old and iii not very good condition,
and since the appropriation has been recon-
mended in the reports TO congress, we have
every reason TO hope for favorable action.
'Since have been in the service there has
boon marked change in regrrd to the preya-
lence of at least one disease treated in the ma
rine hospitals. few years ago scurvy was very
common among the sailors arriving at all ports
but now we find no scurvy even among those
who come in from the longest cruises. You
know this dreaded disease was caused by a con-
tinued diet OF salt meat, unbroken by vegetables
or fruits, and often the sailors were in terrible
condition when they came into port But now
the law 10 very rigid, requiring every ship to
carry SO much lemons and vinegar or other acids
to keep off scurvy. It Is the fact that during
the last four years we have had but one case OF
it to treat at Port Townsend"

THE COLUMBIA RIVER BLOCKADE.
ship-Owners Appeal to Puget Sound
Tug Men for Relief


PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. S0.-ISpecial THE
ship blockade at the bar at the mouth OF the
bia river has compelled owners OF vessels
aud others interested to appeal to the Puget
Sound Tug Boat Company for assistance
Captain John Libby, manager OF the tug boat
company, returned today from Portland and
Astoria, where he went by invitation of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, which is de-
sirous OF getting assistance from the tug boat
company in relieving the blockade. Captain
Libby intended 10 send the tug Pioneer to the
Columbia, but upon investigating the matter
II found that on account of the towage ani pilot
age monopoly which is controlled by the Union
Pacific Railway Company, an outside tug at the
present rates could not make expenses.
In 1889 the Oregon legislature passed an act
fixing the rates for towage and pilotage. which
were TO be in force for two years. These rates
to be- maintained two years longer for tho
benefit of the Union Pacific railroad. Under
this act ii costs from t2)0 70 5000 to tow ships
in and out Of Portland, while on Puget sound,
where no pilots are required, it only costs about
half that amount
There are only two tow boats at Astoria for all
OF the Columbia river shipping One of them,
the Willapa in use OH the Sound thirteen
years ago, and is now out of date. The other,
Escort No. 2, is not much better. The worst tug
on the Sound is as good gs either of them.
Captain Libby reports that there are fifteen
lumber waiting TO be towed out of Astoria, and
number of others waiting to be towed in.
Some of these vessels have been tied up there
for thirty days. The weather has been so bad
that the delays had necessarily to be increased.
All OF these vessels must be towcd in by the
Union Pacific pilots and tow boats, having
made contracts with that company. Captain
Libby agreed 10 send one or more boats of his
company to relieve the blockade, provided he
could get guarantee. II satisfactory guar
antee is not made he will decline to send out
any assistance 70 relieve the blockade.

The department deems it inexpedient TO COM

The effect of this arrangement is that ships
which formerly went to Port Townsend for
crews and paid off there will now ship and pay

Mckenzie says the decision not to document
