CONSUL CHINDA'S MISSION.
He Is After Contract-L Labor
Importers.
The japanese Government Endsavoring t.
Break Up the Nefarious Traffic in Human
Chattsls on This Coast.

The Japanese Government Is earnestly
engaged in its efforts to Dut stop TO the
expectation OF Japanese labOrefs from that
empire.
The imperial Government Is we'll aware
that the traffic in human cbattels Is offen-
sive to this Government, and the Consul
here has been ordered to put stop to the
industry at whatever cost.
Consul 5. Chinda left this city on the 9th
of August to make an inspection Of the
northern ports and to investigate the meth.
DDS of those who are interested in the traffic.
He is expected home in a few days and it
is probable that he will submit evidence to
the Federal authorities that viii greatly
assist them in stopping the traffic.
I'VE want to do what is right with all ma
tions." said the japanese Vice Consul yes
terday, land it is our particular aim to cul-
tivate friendship with the United States.
'The imperial Government is determined
that no fault can be found with the Jap
anese for their lack Of energy 10 not ending
the traffic.
1.-The Consul has been ordered to use every
means at his command TO bring these
japanese to justice who are engaged In the
importati0n OF contract ldbOrers
The Consul is now in the north looking
into the matter, and the probabilities are
that upon his return he will have sufficient
evidence to incrlminate those who are vio-
lailng the law. When protest was made
against the importation Of japanese women
fOt immoral purposes Consul Chinda took
steps to aid the officials Of this country.
The japanese are progressive, but they
do Dot want to overstep the bounds OF in
ternational amity, and | am sure that it can
never be said of US that We forced ourselves
into your country without being welcomed.
Any Japanese who does SO will meet with
stern Justice"

minute" said the mate Of a recent arrival
to CALL reporter yesterday. "The Amer
lean will TO certainty be built of wood,
but European ships are all iron. No more
wooden ships Will be built there anyhow.
The only objection to an iron ship is that
you have to be painting her ali the time. 1t
costs something for paint, too, but the sd-
vantage is all in favor of the iron ship.
Other things being equal, iron ships are
lighter. cleaner, carry more freight and get
better prices, because the cargo is subject
to little or no risk. II there were plenty Of
iron ships in the harbor wooden ships
would stand no chance whatever. The in
surance is less; that is another important
matter.
But speaking about painting iron ships,
let me tell you a thing or two. Were you to
stop cleaning and painting them. or treat
them like wooden ships. there would be the
| very dickens to pay in less than two years.
Iron is good servant. but in salt water it
is a bad master.
Just as soon as an iron ship, whether
steamer or a deep-water sailer, gets into
port, the first thing to DO is to scrape and
clean her as far as possible. Ouce a year a
least the vessel will have to be docked, and
that will cost anything from $1,000 TO $1,000,
according to size. When 1t comes to one of
the expensive modern cruisers, with very
thin steel plates, the cost may run up to
$4,000.
"As rule, we can keep an iron shin
tOlerably clean below the water line on a
voyage by an apparatus called scraper.
You have hoard or read Of the cruel old
time punishment Of keel-hauling a refrac-
tory seaman by letting him down over the
bows and hauling him aft The scraper is
simply coarse oval brush with eyelet holes
on each side and slightly curved to adapt
itself to the mold Of the ship. 1t is let down
over the bows and hauled aft Every inch
Of the vessel below water can be reached
down to the keel, except small portion of
the deadwood in the ships run.
''As / said before, when the ship comes
into port, she is cleaned and scraped imme-
| diately. Then to prevent the oxidation OF
the iron, which gives rise to the 'pittng,' so
destructive TO iron and steel ships, a COM
position is applied consisting OF melted
| tallow with white lead and small pro-
! portion of red lead, just sufficient to color
| It, This is put all over the surface as far
| down as can be reached. The iron spars
| and yards Of iron chips are coated on the
| same principle with an arsenical compost
tion, which prevents vermin from attacking
| the cordage and sails attached to them.
you may say that wood has had its day,
for nearly everything on board modern
iron ship is OF iron, except the running rig
ging. The next thing will be- STEEL When
that day comes it will be great time for
paint. It's an age of paint now-paint,
paint, paint.
"By the way, It's curious thing, but il
an iron ship comes in pretty foul and you
send her up to Martinez into the fresh water
all the green stuff will die and drop off.
The fresh water kills these growths at
once. That explains why so many of the
foreign iron feet are up there now."

''Well. to be candid, Henry. I've been

That's odd, interrupted Henry; ITS
q regular coincidence, and that is exactly
what l told Halle. But she wouldn't hear
to it-would pay for her own education and
all that"
Just what Julia said. But I've got this

"Yes, George" he added. you are right.
