A Prominent Naval Officers Opinion OF
Johnston sland.
The following interesting communication
IN reference to the recent occupation of
Johnston Island by Great Britain Is of
special value owing to the fact it is from
the pen OF Lieutenant Edward f. Qualtrough
OF the United States cruiser Charleston. No
other officer on this station is better in
formed concerning naval matters than Lieu
tenant Qualtrough, who has spent six years
cruising in the Pacific Ocean, besides sery-
ing as inspector Of ordnance at Mare Island
Tor four years. He is writer of authority
on marine subjects, has made a study of the
coast-defense question and is at present
senior deck officer of the Charleston:

THE HARBoR COMMISSIONERS.
The League of Progress Presents a Pro
test Against Collection OF Tolls.

The League OF Progress PRESENTS n Pro-
test Against Collection OF Tolls.
At the meeting of the State Board of Har-
Dor Commissioners yesterday protest from
the League of Progress was presented ask
Ing that there be something done to pre-
vent the unjust exaction of tolls by the
various transportation companies.
The league represents that instead OF con-
fining themselves to the lawful toll of Q
cents per ton the transportation companies
are constantly overcharging and pocketing
the oyercharges, which amount to an enorm-
Gus revenue.
The protest asks that some means be
adopted so that the State shall receive full
revenue from the tolls. The commission
ers promised to thoroughly investigate the
matter, and, IL possible, remedy the evil.
The Union Transportation Company en-
tered vigorous protest against the moving
OF their new Stockton steamboat to the Mis-
sion-street wharf. but the order moving the
vessel was not changed.

HEROES OF THE COAST.
All Hands Taken Off the Elder by
Life Boats.

LONDON. Feb. "A dispatch was
sent from Atherheld at o'clock this
evening stating thai the lifeboats, after
an exceedingly perilous voyage, had
succeeded in bringing everybody from
the Elder to the shore in safety. The
storm at the time the lifeboatS were
launched had gained terrific violence.
The lifebOat crew at Atherfield had
tremendous struggle to get its crafts
beyond the breakers, which were piling
high upon the shore. The men were
greatly hampered by their cork jackets.
oilskins and sea boots. Grasping the
heavy lifeboat by the gunwaleS. they
would wait for a recedipg wave. and
then, with a hearty ''ali together" they
would attempt to run her out past the
line of fOaming waters that came tum-
bling upon the shore with laundering
crash.
Time and again they were beaten
back, but nothing daunted by their re-
peated failures. they would again spring
to their task, determined that if human
skill could get boat afloat into the
tMmbIing, tossing sea they would do it.
Finally their chance came. The boat
was run out, was caught by receding
wave, and like fash the crew climbed
over the gunwales, graSped the long.
heavy oars, and soon their powerful
strokes carried her out beyond the line
of breakers. Their course was directly
in the eye of the wind, that was now
blowing almost a hurricane. but the
sturdy lifeboatmen, taking advantage
or every bit of the sea knowledge
gained by years of experience along
that treacherOuS coast. bent to their
oars and made every stroke tell. Slow
ly, but surely. the boat forged ahead.
Sometimes she would appear upon the
crest of high sea and would then dis
appear into the trough of the sea.
And thus it continued until the boat
got under the lee of the Elder, where
she was in comparatively smooth water.
A line was taken from the steamer, and
then dropping alongside she took on
board as many of the crew as she could
safely carry and headed for the shore.
The men who had remained on the
steamer had been anxiouSly waiting for
hours for the lifeboat. They knew that,
with the heavy sea running, there was
great danger Of the Elder going to
pieces. aud when the Atherfeld Iifeboat
reached the wreck she was welcomed
with hearty cheer. The lifeboats from
Birthstone and Lewis had similar ex-
periences. but after long struggle they
reached the Elder and took every
body off.

Ing organizations, not at first heard

GLOBE to throw the competition open
10 all bowling organizations in the city,
barring none. 1t is also desired to delay
the closing of the ranks for tiIhe, for
the reason that several valuable sugges-
lions have been made, and they should
be submitted to the judgment of those
making up the contest. One of these
suggestions is that, instead of five MEM
bers of each club making up team,
the number should be ten, the better to
arrive at the relative strength of each
competing body. For instance, a club
might have five crack bOwlerS out of
thirty members, with poor average
all around. while another club might
have but twelve members, all of whom
were fairly good bowlers.
1t is proposed, therefore, to call
m eetlng of all clubs proposing TO enter
for the competition and allow them
then to settle apd agree upon the points.
Rules governing the match and how the
percentage is to be arrived at will also
be agreed upon. 1t is suggested that

Graded on Rocks.

LONDON, Feb. "A dispatch from
Atherteld says that from daylight the
beach in the vicinity of Atherfield ledge
was filled with people from miles
around, all anxious to see the spectacle
of a great transatlantic steamer piled
up on the rocks. Shortly before half
past 3 the sky in the west grew
blacker and blac.ler, and in short time
the storm clouds, hurrying before an
ever increasing wind, covered the whole
sky. A furious rain poured down. and
to add to the discomfort of those whose
duty called them to the shore it was &C
companied by pelting hail stones.
The crowd of SightseerS on the beach
sought shelter from the storm and scat
tered in every direction, making for
farm houses, fishermen'S huts, barns,
anywhere where they could find tenn
pOrary covering that would save them
from drenching. and soon no one was
on the beach save the IifebOat men,
coast guardsmen and few of the crew
from the Elder. The sea was dashed to
increasing fury by the freShening gale,
and as the huge rollers would sweep in
from the channel they would strike the
stranded steamer with Sullen boom, and
sweep almost entirely over her.
Built Staunch and True.
The Elder has shown through the ter
rible pounding she has received that
there was nothing faulty in her con-
StructiOn. She has for hour after hour
stood battering from sea and rock that
i'll the case of weaker vessel would
long ere this have torn her
to pieces. The local coast
guardsmen. life boatmen, fisher
men and other such nautical experts say
that they are amazed at the lack of de-
ciSion and want of seamanship dis
played by the Elders officers. who. they
also say. refused the services of the first
lifeboat which reached the stranded
steamers side at daylight on Monday
morning. and only allowed few women
to enter the second boat.
Capt Heinecke. the experts add, sent
message ashore by the first lifebOat,
telegraphing to the North German
Lloyd company's agents at Suuthamp-
ton, to send tugs to his assistance, but.
they continue. the Elders commander
did not try to get his anchors out
in order to steady her and
prevent her tearing open wider
pected to exist in her shell at the spots
where she touched the rocks. COnSe-
quently, the maritime critics also say,
Capt. Heinecke thus allowed the Elder
to be beaten further ashore until, after
midday, it was impossible for Der to
anchor with a chance of benefiting her
SELF
The place where the steamer lies is
exposed to the full force of the winds
and sea, and is one Of the most perilous
points for navigatorS in the channel.
Owing to the treacherous current which
sets in toward the ledge, which varies in
velocity, according to weather cOndi-
tons, thus making it almost impossible
for navigatorS to take it into their cal
culatlons, even the captains of coasting
vessels give the place wide berth. and
stand well off shore until the ledge is
far aStern.

GRABBED ON ROCKS.
Over-Confidence and the Dense
Fog ReSponSible.

Fog Responsible.
LONDON, Feb. I'm an interview
one of the officers of the ship
says the passage was a good one.
They did not see land till they
sighted The Lizard. and it was difficult
to recognize points in Ihe fog. The
Elder steamed slowly along the English
channel Sunday, with a sharp lookout
for pilots; but none were seen. Neither
were the Needles nor the Southampton
lights seen. AS the passengers had
every confidence IN the captain. they
spent pleasant evening. the
band playing below deck. The
At the time of the accident a sounding
was being taken every five minutes,
and the vessel was at her slowest
speed. The officer adds: 81 was OH the
bridge when she first came in con-
tact with the rocks. The vessel
trembled throughout, and three slight
bumps followed. The members of
the band suddenly ceased playing and
ran Oh deck with the crew to ascertain
the cause of the shock, but quickly re-
turned Oh the captain assuring them
there was no danger, and the concert,
was resumed. For short time none of
us realized the real state of affairs.
But presently the fog lifted some
what, revealing the ships position
close to some cliffs and firmly Graded
in rocks. We still expected, however,
to float uninjured with the tide. When
the lifeboat came alongside it appeared
more dangerous to venture into that
than to remain aboard"
All the Elders officers and the mem
berS of her crew laud the gallantryf
and devotion Of the lifeboat crews.i
The Elder was not insured The North
German Lloyd steamer Havel, to which
the agents of the company at South

thing may be done tomorrow to float the

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-Commissioner
Brennan has received information that
the schooner Servia has arrived at the
Delaware breakwater with the two men
on board who were carried away a week
ago today on the scow which has not
before been heard from. Seven DAYS
and nights were spent on board the
New York garbage scow by the two
men landed today, with but few bis
cults and a milk can of water to last
them all this time. They presented a
most pitiable sight
