prising success. The entire cast was well
sustained. Miss Laura Alberta. as Eliza.

let the child be torn from her clineine
arms, was particularly strong and forcible.
Her makeup was excellent, her dark

Whatever may be the honest differences
Of opinion Is to the attitude and demands
Of many trades-unions, and a. to their
effects upon business and industrial pro-
gress, there is no room for such difference
As to the demand and justification for the
organization known as the Seamen's
Union. Even this, like any other associa-
ton for necessary and commendable
purposes, may be misdirected and made
mischievous where and to the extent that
its branches fall into the control Of con-
tentious and unreasoning members, but
this, fortunately, has not been the fate of
the Seattle branch.
That the seamen have grievances which
require organization to successfully COM
bat is undeniable. And these are griev.
ances which strike at the very roots of
freedom, manhood and the right of
the individual to the free use and
disposal Of his own. Moreover, the
evils which the Seamen's Union
chiefly aims to overcome exist and are
boldly practiced in direct contravention of
the plain letter of the law, which makes
the existence and the efforts Of this or
ganization doubly justifable.
The chief of these grievances were very
clearly presented in there columns yester-
day, as the result of an interview with
Agent Leighton, of the Coast Union.
Working for twelve hours q day-the
rougher the weather the harder the work
for the not munihcHt pay of $40 month,
they are made the victims Of remorseless
clearinghouse keepers,a class proverbially
devoid of conscience. On these estab-
lishments the captains and masters ex-
clusively rely when they wish to ship
hands, and the boarding-masters are par
ticular to supply those who have spent all
their money, to the exclusion of those who
are still able to pay their way.
AS result of this system the seamen
are compelled to remain in these houses
and spend with them all their money for
board and rum before they can hope for
employment. To break up this system
the union insists that its members shall
only be employed through the medium of
its agencies, and return guarantees that its
members shall be prompt in reporting for
duty, competent, and shall never appear
for duty in q state Of intoxication.
1t is an intelligently devised remedy for
q monstrous abuse. 1t is not easy to con-
ceive of any other adequate remedy. And
If, as Agent Leighton declares, the aboii-
ton of this system by these means will
make this hard-worked and not overly
- ~ -
on EARTH" so far as the regulation of
affairs with their employers is concerned,
then most certainly the general sympa-
thies of the public should be enlisted in
their favor.

II the spectacle were not pitiful IL would
be amusing to observe the writings of the
Tacoma newspapers under the pangs Of
jealousy. They have become impressed
with the idea that their city il being
slighted by the President-an idea mon
strously absurd-and in some unaccounta-
BILE way blame Seattle for It. Now, Is .
matter Of fact. the President 10 not going
shout the country to 'shonor" different
localities. Heis simply making trip over
the country for the purpose of observation,
and naturally enough he spends his time
to the best advantage. Having been here
before (both at Seattle and Tacoma) he Is
familiar with the relative importance Of
the several points of interest and naturally
spends more time in the bigger and more
important than in the smaller and less
important city. That is all there is to it.
But strangely enough the change in the
plans by which an hour more (three In
stead Of two) Is to be given to Tacoma
rather irritates than pleases the Tacoma
papers. The Nesrs of last evening prints
the following telegram addressed to the
local committee of reception:
In order TO meet the wishes Of the mayor Of
Seattle 1t has been decided to move the presi-
Dental party from Tacoma to Seattle by boat,
and have notified Mayor White that the party
win b ready 70 leave Tacoma at II q. m, May
6 This gives Tacoma an additional hour, the
Arrangement now being to arrive ct 9, leaving
at II q m. Answer II this arrangement win BE-
satisfactory. GEORGE W. BOYD,
In Charge.
This innocent dispatch stirs the Ne,cs up
to white heat. It ''presumes" that if
"the mayor Of Seattle had requested the
President to pass Tacoma altogether" he
would have done 50, and adds much more
illustrative of an irritable temper.

Young Hughes, IN industrious and
steady mechanic, who was drowned in
Lake Union last Saturday night, left q
youngwife, to whom he had been married
but short time, In destitute circum-
stances. She Is subject for compassion.
Her case is of character which has never
appealed to the iberal-minded people Of
Seattle in vain. Rev. Mr.. Hughes, Of the
Olive street Presbyterian church, the be-
reaved young woman's pastor, has offered
to receive contributions for her relief, bat
his residence il remote and comparatively
inaccessible to many who doubtless are In
clined to contribute. If such be the case,

tons at the business Office of the Posr-
IHrELLIeEScER, and they win be promptly
RENTED to their deserving object.

Robert Moran of the company said that

company would build, while for Captain
De Lions dock, exactly the same thing,
the citizens would only have 81, 900 worth

Lions dock was defective in that it was
too wide, being eighty feet in the clear.
But the beam of the average vessel il
thirty-ive feet, while forty-five is the ex-
treme. The Charleston is forty-ive foot
beam, and the City of Pekin, the largest
vessel on the Coast, has forty-seven foot
beam. The dock was constructed origi-
nally for the Olympian, which has a sew
enty-two-foot beam; but she is very excep-
tional-in fact the only vessel Of the kind
on the Coast-and it is hardly worth while
to build dock for a single vessel. A dock
of sixty-foot width in the clear is large
enough for all practical purposes
Mr.. Moran continued that their pro-
posal was made on the assumption that
the people here wanted a dock exactly like
Captain De Lions, but that the dock was
too broad. The only vessel for it was the
OIymplau. which was OF an obsolete type.
A sectional dock was the best type to con-
struct Captain De Lions dock was struct-
urally weak and would not do the lifting
expected of it. Mr.. Moran's company
would duplicate the dock for $4,000 A
sectional dock sixty feet wide was the best
thing, he thought Seven sections Of forty
feet long each would give . dock

COST or A DRY DOCK.
Robert Moran's Estimate for the Chan.
NJ


Der Of Commerce.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
Chamber of Commerce was held last night,
and the question of the dry dock again
came up for consideration. Robert Moran,
of the Seattle Dry Dock and Ship Building
Company, offered to duplicate Captain r.
w. De Lions dock for $73, 500, but sug-
gested that better one be built He made
. number of interesting statements con-
corning the cost Of constructing and oper-
ating floating docks. The matter was re-
ferred to the trustees for action.
The discussion was opened by the read
ing OF the following communication from
the Seattle Dry Dock and Ship Building
Company, which now owns the marine
railway here:
The undersigned. the Seattle Dry Dock 4 Ship
Building Company, respectfully submits the
following estimate of cost of dry dock OF the
same size. capacity and class Of construction a
the one now being built by Captain De Lion at
Port Hadlock- In making these figures we have
used great care, being fully advised in such
matters. and we will, to show our good faith,
make you the following proposition:
II You will guarantee to take stock In such an
enterprise to the extent of So. q this com.
pany win furnish like amount and enter into
q contract to construct q dock OF the same
capacity, and in our Judgment superior In de-
sign, to the De Lion dock for the sum OF
-, and disburse al moneys used in the
construction to Seattle merchanics and mer.
chants This plan viii give Seattle Arst-class
dry dock, built In this city, and you win be
equal owners with this company. We think
this proposition should meet with your hearty
approval Respectfully submitted.
