half an hour that whole structure was
also in ruins.
The fremen worked heroically, but
they could not prevent the flames from
spreading still further. They leaped

A New Difficulty in the Behr.
ing Sea Trouble.
Germans and Italians Win Not
Stop Seal Fishing.

They Have Made Great Preparations for
Taking Seals and DO Not Intend to BE
Baked by Any AnglO-American Agree
ment-Other Cable News.
LONDON, June 3.-A dispatch from
Vancouver says that parties interested
in the Behring sea fisheries are known
to be getting ready to sail under the
German or italian flag in the event of a
close time arrangement between Great
Britain and the United States. The
sealers had made ready for q grand
harvest this season, and do not feel like
being baked, whatever the two nations
may agree upon,
The same dispatch says that sensation
al rumors are afloat concerning party
of seal producers who have organized to
raid the American islands, and carry off
seal skins. In England the sentiment ON
the bill is divided, although il is certain
to pass, majority, both Of Tories and
Liberals, being in favor of it. The close
time will seriously interfere with the
skin-dressing industry, an important
one in London, and add considerably TO
the cost of sealskins the coming winter.
A Madrid dispatch said, that, accord
ing to current report, the revolutionary
party of Portugal intends shortly to
make another effort for the overthrow of
monarchy, and that the news of the en-
counters beSween British and Portuguese

ened hemovement for change. Among
the people the feeling toward England il
one of the utmost evaporation, which is
none the less bitter because they feel
their ability to do England any serious
harm. Appeals have been received for
reinforcements, but the only word from
Africa has been one directing the Portu-
guese to remain within bounds, and not
under any circumstances to fight with
the English as the Portuguese govern
ment feels confident that England will
repay any damage or trespass done.

Why Manila Is Behind.

Manila is one of the most important
ports in the Philippine islands, but
strange to say, is one day behind all
other places of it's size in the world,
says the St. Louis Republic. This Gu
rious fact is accounted for in this way:
Although the Philippine islandslie near
the Asiatic coast, they were discovered
by spaniards who sailed from America.
When they crossed the magic line
where Sunday suddenly changes into
Monday, these fiery dons Of proud Cas-
lillian ancestors did not revise their
calendar. When told of this years
later, when informed that their mode of
reckoning time was not up to modern
notions, they only said that that was SO
much the worse for modern notions.
Anyhow, the fact remains that these
Philippine islanders keep plodding along
one day behind all the rest Of the
world, which reckons time by the new
style.

WHEN STEAMERS SAIL.
Why Ocean Steamships Usually Leave o.
Wednesdays and Saturdays.

why Ocean Steamships Usually Leave O.
Wednesdays and Saturdays.
A correspondent writing to the New
York Tribune asks the following ques-
ton:
sCan You tell me why it is that with
at least ten steamers per week leaving
this port for Europe the only days, so
far as have been able to learn, when
mail is taken are on Wednesdays and
Saturdays In other words, why is 1T
that all the lines send their vessels on
these days, SO that there are sometimes
five or six steamers leave the same day,
and no more till the following Wednes-
day or Saturday? It would certainly
be great convenience, and 1T seems
very strange that it was not SO
arranged, to have steamers for Europe
leave every day in the week. or at least
on Mondays and Thursdays as well as
on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
ST hope you can give me some explar
nation of the present strange arrange
ment Of sailings."
The explanation is briefly as follows:
It is the transportation of cargoes
winch mas TO De lQOSb cOusAuoA GU Az '4AS
arrangement of ste: nship schedule.
Experience has proved that Wednes-
days and Saturdays are the most ad~
vantageous days for sailings, day IN
the middle of the week and the last
day. AL large lines now run on tour
weeks schedule. A ship leaving New
York on Monday would not be able
to receive and store cargo the
day before sailing. Tuesday would
give her only one day before sailing for
the reception Of cargo. In short, the
object is to get the day OF sailing on
both ends of the line as far away from
the previous Sunday as possible, and
Wednesdays and Saturdays have been
found the best days for sailings.
In summer, when the rush OF trans
atlantic trade is at it's height, it has
been found necessary to have ships
sailing on other days in order to accom-
modate the increased traffic. Thus in
the last week steamers carrying mails
to England Left this port on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday,
only two week days, Monday and Fri
day, being without mail steamer fo:'
Europe.
